"Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" AGAIN
I've seen 100+ post related to this issued but none seem to hit my precise issue.
I have a 17"+2 15" MacBookPros, ibook, G5, and a MacPro 2.66 Dual quad core.
My 17" MacbookPro has 10.4.11 OS. The MacPro has 10.6.2. with 4 internal & 1 FW800.
Actions:
- Did the initial boot of the MaPro and migrated my data form the 17" MacBkPro when I was prompted during the loads. After load completed and accounts all were pulled over I restarted the MacPro. The macpro came up with just blue screen. I did get the MacPro to only booted into safe mode. This reeks trouble with updates.
- Did a new install from MacPro factory DVD and ApplicationDVD onto a separate HD. I did NOT migrate anything. This load would reliably boot every time. I then did a migration of my 17"MacBKpro to the MacPro. Restarted only to receive the blue screens with only a movable mouse which did nothing.
- I did notice a statement which mentioned I was required to update the 17'MacBKpro prior to migration. This created more problems because It told me my Disk was in the wrong format.
QUESTION: Should I backup data with Disk utility, CCC, or another utility then format MacBKpro into the 10.6 or 10.5 OS? QUESTION If I just did the and migrated my date back onto the MacbkPro would not this be simi;ar in result as migrating over to the MacPro???
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" There should be a cmmd line fix for this like "mk MBR" Question: I only require booting into safe mode directly after a migrate assistant was used to be over data from the 17" MacBKpro?
I know the different format types is what is messing everything up. I should the had this fixed weeks ago but I'm burnt out and Sick. I just can't think this through. I need someone to bounce this off the wall with so I can get my system fully operational.
I have booted with the MacPro Install DVD and ran disk repair. The repairs are made but the "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" shows up and the system will only boot into safe mode once any migration has been performed.
MY PLANS are to:
Make another new installed onto the MacPro using the factory supplied Install and Application DVD disk. I will then do all updates to the firmware and OS before trying the migration assistant.
I plan to boot 17"MacBKpro using the MacPro install DVD and try a Migration to the MacPro over FW.
If anyone out there has dealt with this same issue please post feedback. ONLY mac people with this similar issued need reply.
