Do share the info. So what did you do? Can BOOT DVD just using Modded DFE Bootloader. No need for DFE ISO/Disk swapping. Takes a while to load though. Your 10.1 is very nice. Using it now (modded) for my tests. A few things though. Would like to see it give a choice to keep the hackintosh.pkg instead of rebuilding it all the time. Selectable Pcefi/Chameleon/Dfe-Chameleon Loader For DVD/HD Option for Hack OR Virgin DVD, probably incorporated when you select which loader you want. Thats about it for now. Thanks and keep up the GREAT work. Later... |

Hey Ritalin, thanks a bunch! I have been trying out 10.1 and 10.2 yesterday - very smooth indeed - I will now try with the package you made!
One thing, when I enter su and my password I get "sorry" and you do not have the required permissions. When I enter sudo su it actually works. what am I doing wrong?
Once again thanks!

You may need to enable the root user. I had the same problem until I followed this guide: support.apple.com/kb/HT1528?viewlocale=en_US |

Aquamac, yeah Tek is probably correct, one of the first things I do after a clean install is enable the root user.
The problem I had running the script using sudo was as follows:
Sudo has a time limit as to how long the user can assume root privileges. After that limit has expired the user needs to re enter their password. The time limit was expiring before my script completed, so some of the later commands in the script were being run as an ordinary user. Using the su command to actually become the root user solved the problem for me, but the root user needs to be enabled before you can use su to become root.
Once you have enabled the root user and assigned a password to root, then you can become root in a terminal by typing su at the command prompt, hit return, enter the root password and the command prompt will change to a # sign. Your in, you can now run the patcher script and it will be able to do it's important work!
The alternative was to prompt for you password mid way through the script, but I thought that idea sucked.

Hi Ritalin,
Yup that did the trick. I had a go with 10-2 today and the package you sent me. After booting yours had the same problem as mine, in as much as the com.apple.boot.plist does not take effect. I have tried many ways and made packages that work fine if you install them ordinarily from the desktop. Any ideas?

Selecting boot normal or boot safe in the other options section will replace your com.apple.boot.plist. Just uncheck both options and your com.apple.boot.plist should then be left in place. |

Hmm, tried that already but it did not work - strange. Anyone else having this issue?

Right, It did not work any other way, but by using the terminal you can do this: sudo -s <password> enter mv /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns.back Then hit return cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/Internal.icns /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns Then hit return chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext Then Reboot and you will get your regular HDD Icons. |

I'm not sure if this matters or not, but your drives may still show up under Disk Utility as external drives which is the reason why they show up as orange icons. Simply changing the icons may still cause them to be treated as external drives. In the end I don't think it matters really. |
