Looking to get a working BIOS for the
Asus P5Q PRO TURBO.I'm attempting to preform a retail install and I get stuck at this message:
"using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers"I can't recall if this was the EXACT error message
I have managed to get iAtkos 10.5.5 installed on my machine, but have not been able to actually get the OS to boot as it also gets stuck at the message above.
Here is a link to the Asus website:
