Am pretty new at this so please be nice
I am trying to get a retail
to boot (10.5.5) on a Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L with E7400 CPU
Has the followingChipsets P31, ICH7io controller iTE8718Audio: RealTekAL889,
High Definition AudioEthernet: RL8111cVideo nVidia 9400Gt 1G memory.
Can load Kalyway vanilla kernal & modified ACPI (dual Boot XP MBR only, though haven't bothered to test the audio, suspect it wont work).
So far can get the retail package to boot to Installer but says "cannot install on this computer" Did this by modifying the Bios with Patcher02Beta5 to fix the RTC. Without the Bios fix i get a panic from the RTC
Used Boot132 for the GA-P35-DS4. I suspect the video is wrong. I will try and make a Boot132 for the board (and will put the bios back to normal) but could use a few pointers.
If someone could make a iso for this board i would appreciate it. If so, could you possibly list the kexts in it. I am interested in learning more but need a starting point.
For a noob (i use windoz, program at hardware chip level.. and years ago did some Unix ) there is heaps of info but wading through it just confuses me more.
This is one of the few threads that at least seems to be correlating information at the start in a way that is pretty logical.
Once i get it up and going i will provide a guide for my setup.
