OSX86 on Intel P45 chipset?, Trying to install Leopard with Asus P5Q3 mobo Options

[Aggg45]

I download the bios flash, but everyone here is using kalway - I'm still on LeoTOH ((which runs perfectly on my lappy))

should I move to kalway for this???

I find it strange that I'm unable to boot OSX86 DVD (I have tried several different OSX86 DVDs) without getting the "Still waiting for root device" error.
I've tried all the possible SATA settings.
Motherboard: P5Q-E (It is flashed with the modded BIOS)
Graphics card: XFX 8800GT
HDD: SATA
DVD/CD-ROM: IDE

And that's pretty much what I have in my computer (except for a card reader and a tv-tuner). I don't understand why it doesn't boot
Are there any hidden settings in the BIOS that I must take care of (disable)?

Btw: I have already tried to to change the SATA settings to "Compatible, IDE" and "AHCI".

Thanks!

FINALLY! Used Kabyl's BIOS for P5Q Deluxe (thanks again)Initially had a lot of problems trying to get past the initial install until I figured out that the BIOS setting for the SATA drives needed to be AHCI ... no luck with IDE. Then after spending days changing my XP system over to AHCI loaded OSX using Kalyway 10.5.2

Selected ...
- 922 Kabyl
- Video - nvinject 512
- Sound - intel nvidia
- LAN - skge_marvel
- MOBO Chipset - all
- Patches - lastnetkassmbios

Everything works except sound.

Tried the Kalyway Combo update ... didn't work.

Also - can Kabyl's modified 0803 BIOS work for me? Most important question is - if I use his modified BIOS, will I still be able to run Vista as normal and Overclock my system as I was doing using the original 0803 BIOS?

It works for me.

I used the P5Q Deluxe and have the E8400 overclocked to 3.7. I have it so that it dual boots .... XP or OSX.I did find that the SATA had to be configured as AHCI in the BIOS (first screen) otherwise the install would start and then hang.

Ok some issues I've been having with my install


1. Booting back to Vista 64 Pro after using OSX. After I login to windows, the video goes corrupt, and I get a Blue Screen of Death. Upon rebooting into Vista again, all is well and everything works fine.

2. Clock in Vista is screwed up. Time is hours off. Searched and found the answer. OSX and windows adjust time based off different things. Registry hacks fix this... working on it now..

Is there a good chance of the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4P working as well? It still has the ALC889A sound which seems to work well for Leopard. I'd rather opt P45 than the X38/X48 since Crossfire isn't critical.

Osx86 using stock Leopard-DVD and LS8_v11 install pack on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6:

@poopdeckpappy:
The blue screen thing happened after the OSX install you said. Before you intalled OSX, did you change the SATA settings to ACHI in the BIOS?
If that's the case then I recommend you following this guide: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=195867 (Method 2) to solve your problem. Apparantly the problem is that XP doesn't have native AHCI drivers, so you need to install them manually.

How about the MSI P45 Neo2-FR? Does this one work?

[heliox]

Hi!
Glad this hack (Kabyl's) works. Those who made it work in AHCI mode, is your DVD Drive Sata too , or just IDE?

[DocShadow]

I have a SATA DVD.

How would you get the IDE DVD to work in an AHCI setup?

Hello Kabyl,
I was wondering if you could make a modded bios for the Asus P5Q Pro motherboard, I believe that it would help quite a few people as well as me, pretty please
here's the unmodded bios
I noticed that the P5Q non-Pro seems to use the same bios, so this hack should be possible

Could someone help with the P5Q PRO BIOS? I would really appreciate it.

Hello all:
I have an Asus R1E-C1 (T9300 cpu, Intel X3100 GPU, Mobile Intel PM965 chipset (Crestline) 800MHz FSB + ICH8M, Intel Gigabit Ethenet, Intel 4965 wifi, Aziala sound) When I install leo4allv3 I get this same error. When I install leo4allv2, no problems. Any suggestions?

just found this topic after hours of searching and want to add something:

P5Q deluxe installs perfectly (had similar issues, however they were related to expressgate (!) and AHCI mode

i installed kalyway 10.5.2 from a sata dvd (ich10) on a dedicated hdd (don't want to mess with a bootloader, just choose correct harddrive by pressing F8 @bios load screen) with all correct drivers selected + vanilla kernel and everything went fine until i rebooted and got stuck on the grey apple screen with the grey circle spinning for hours


anyone with the same issue here to help???

I#LL TRY KALYWAY COMBO UPDATE + 10.5.4 from apple update once i sort this out

PS: sry for caps...)

Despues de romperme un poco los cuernos durante dos dias e conseguido por fin modificar la bios de mi P5Q-PRO, de la cual Kabyl no ha hecho mod todabia.

Gracias a un topic del foro donde mas o menos lo explica (aunque no del todo) y a base de empeño y lectura .

Con la bios de la P5Q-PRO no vale ninguna otra version de MMTOOL que no sea la V3.19_Mod_21FiX para el "Replace"

Con la 3.12 no la modifica correctamente y muestra "Boot Block in file is not valid".

Despues de modificar la bios correctamente, la primera prueba con Kaliway 10.5.1 instala perfecto en P5Q-PRO.

Por configurar queda:

Atheros Lan, dev:1026
Realtek HD Audio, dev:0888

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the break a little horns for two days and finally managed to change the bios of my P5Q-PRO, which Kabyl has not yet mod.

Through a topic of the forum where more or less what explains (though not entirely) and basis of commitment and reading.

With the bios of P5Q-PRO is not worth any other version of MMTOOL than V3.19_Mod_21FiX for the "Replace"

With the 3.12 not properly amended and shows "Boot Block in file is not valid."

After modifying the bios properly, the first test with Kaliway 10.5.1 installs perfect P5Q-PRO.

It remains to be set:

Atheros Lan, dev: 1026
Realtek HD Audio / dev: 0888

Unknown CPU, Unknown chipset

I've done the install 3 times ... don't ask.

I had the same problem .... won't work unless drives are ACHI ...... expressgate is fine for me.

I used Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel AMD. Used 922 Kabyl, Vanilla and modbin and they all installed. NVinject 512 (for my video card) (nvinject did not work), skge marvel for LAN, all mobo chipsets and lasnetkassmbios patch. I had everything except sound. Sleep was hardware driven but worked like a charm, as did restart and shutdown.

Updated by Kalyway 10.5.3 Combo Update and then SU to 10.5.4. Lost CI/QE on update so I installed nvinject with nvinstaller v5.2. Also a shutdown/restart problem with the vanilla kernel but not with kabyl or modbin kernels

When I did the "update -v" for .3 update, it hung but I rebooted and it went straight to the desktop.

I updated to 9.4.0 modbinkernel last night and everything works great (except sound). Icons are orange. Build is much faster in .4 than .2.

Now to get the sound working.

Doc

[brennesel]

got it working today, already fixed orange drive icons after rs, updated to 10.5.4 got archicad up and running

only things i have to fix are:

sound - anyone?

let it recognise the second cpu core---

make a switch to switch between mac mod bios with ahci and vista overclock bios with raid


EDiT: thanks for the modded bios kabyl, it fixed the boot-problems =D, great work!

WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System: P5Q Deluxe, Q9450 , 8Gb Ram, 2 SATA HD's, SATA DVD drive (anything else just ask)


B. No Audio. I'm searching around but it's not looking so good. There seems to be trouble in getting just the earlier versions of the chip working so far.

-Jared

Since i have my P45 Platinum fully working (w/ Audio,Ethernet,etc) you can try my handmade ALCInject.kext & AppleHDA.kext, they work for me on all ports, incl. Headphones. Mic should work too.

Hope it will work for you guys, too.

BTW: CPU is a Q9450 quad core.

I have a Q9450 and a P35 chipset and I have no issues. so I know your CPU is supported at least. good luck

[Dangleberry]

Kabyl, BitRIP, DocShadow, you guys are all legends!

Slightly unrelated, but have any of you guys had issues with SATA drives/raptors when setting up Dual boot machines regardless of IDE/AHCI/Compatibility modes on ASUS P45 boards?
