 Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2003 11:56 pm Post subject: startmol -X does not find mach kernel |
 |
|
Hi,
I try to start MacOS X (10.1.5) in mol 0.9.69_pre3. However, the execution of the programme terminates before a MacOS X windows gets opened stating that no mach kernel could be found. I don't know where I configured wrongly. However, at least MacOS 9.1 starts fine in mol. Below I listed the output of the MacOS X try and snippeds of the config files. BTW: I run molvconfig and startmol --keyconfig.
Anybody an idea?
Cheers,
Thiemo

blkdev should point to the actual partition where OS X resides:
| Code: | | blkdev: /dev/hda9 -rw |

Err, right. Stupid me. Having done so, it didn't change a lot.
| Code: | | blkdev: /dev/hda14 -rw |
or
| Code: | | blkdev: /dev/hda14 -rw -boot |
resulted in

humm .. what does your partition map look like? Your OS X is on hda14, which suggests you installed linux on the first free partition(s) and then MacOS X on the latter (or you have a number of partitions for OS9/Data, or whatever). I have some recollection of this possibly causing issues.
'@0:0' looks to me as though it's looking at the partition_map to try to acertain which partition is infact a posible candidate for booting (this is the default behavior when no blkdev is given).
Is your OS X partition UFS by any chance?

Additionally:
You should attempt to boot from a OS X install CD .. add the following to your /etc/mol/molrc.osx ..
| Code: | | blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd ${cdboot} |
.. insert a bootable OS X and run:
| Code: | | startmol -X --cdboot |
If it boots then the problem most probably is with the partioning scheme, or the filesytem type.

Thanx for your assistance. Well, OS X partition is HFS+ as is the MacOS 9 partition. I first have two swap partitions: hda10 for linux and hda11 for OS X (UFS). However, I could not get to use hda11 under OS X. hda14 for OS X, hda15 MacOS 9 and at last three linux partitions. Find below the config file and the partition table.

I boot OS9 from an image, so the partition scheme is quite different (I don't have MacOS X's booter). I really don't think this is the issue though, I'm more suspicious of the Apple_UFS swap, at least, I can see no reason why mol is reading @0:0 looking for a possible boot partition when hda14 is explicitly stated in the molrc.osx. I suspect it's reading the partition_map which will almost certainly point it to hda12 (the first bootable volume .. but no mach kernel). Question is why is mol not reading the blkdev defined. Did you attempt to boot from a CD as I previously suggested?
Looking at my own molrc.osx my blkdev is not within the 'ifempty ${altconfig}' condition .. try moving it out (just to rule that out as a possibility). Also, you might want to consider converting the Apple_UFS to ext2/hfs
My only recollection of this particular error is when either the blkdev is pointing to a partition that doesn't contain a valid OS X install or when the partition is formated as UFS .. so this is new to me.

Neither can I.

I just tried... I got so far to have a kernel? panic (on OS X side). The probably relevant messages is:
| Code: | | panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform: "AAPL,MOL". |
I am not sure whether a compilation process survived, so I rebooted. BTW, my boot cd is a 10.0 since I have only an update cd for 10.1

So, I converted the UFS partition to HFS (standard) using mac-fdisk and the mac disk utility. Now, MacOS 9 does not recognize/mount the "new" partition, OS X on the other hand does. However, it didn't change anything with respect to mach kernel load failure. Neither moving "blkdev " out of the ifempy construct changed anything.

I believe we can rule out UFS. Apart from that I am not much the wiser.

I just tested the update cd (10.1) under mol and it does work.

ok .. in that case seems it has to be the partioning scheme. Not sure what can be done to remedy.
