Hello.
I have P5Q SE/R motherboard.

I'm trying to install iPC 1.5.6
I modded bios as it was said in the first post.

I burnt the dvd with iPC on a low speed. when the disk boots and asks to push F8 I push it. Then I tried:

1. typing -v  (system reboots itself)
2. typing -f (the same)
3. typing -x (the same)
4. typing -v -f cpus=1  (the only way to boot. but it gets stuck in one place - it's on the picture)

When I make Sata mode as AHCI my computer just doesn't launch. I mean it all stucks at bios: it doesn't reply to my keyboard commands and i have to reboot.

Help please!

Hi, i have a P5Q (not pro) and i have downloaded this Bios: 1611_BIOS_Asus_P5Q_for_MAC_OS_X___all_OS__incl._by_Juzzi..ROM

Is this the right one, and if i install this bios, can i start after update my other Harddrives with XP and Windows 7 normaly.
Or can i use my computer after udate only with osx ?

Hello every one. I follow the tuto and installed iDeneb 1.5.1 on my p5q pro with the default parameter exept the driver for my ati hd 4870.

I patch my bios and choose AHCI in the bios. After the installation finished my pc reboot but i do not see login screen, just a blue screen. Anyone know what happen and/or know what mistake i done ?

Thanks in advance.

The Problem is with your DVD Drive....You should have a SATA DVD Drive or a Convertor which can make your IDE DVD Drive as a SATA Drive

Do not select any driver which says.....Voodoo and then try to install...I think it should work.... Also do not select the Voodoo Kernel....... Infact do not select any kernel since vanilla kernel is installed by default

Let me know the kexts that you are selecting while installing IPC OSX and also please post a image of the error message so that we can get a claer idea....


Also if possible try to use IDeneb .....

Hello, I'm new to the forums.
I've installed Snow Leopard on my PC, and I have one major issue. But first, my config is:
P5Q-E, Q9700, 4GB ram. I have Marvell Gigabit Lan integrated on my MBO

My issue is that my Ethernet naturally wasn't working, so I installed
IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip and
skge_for_P5Q_Deluxe.zip
Since the network cards are exactly the same (I used kext helper).
That did not fix anything, but only created more problems. Now, whenever I go to system preferences, and click on the Network icon, the Sys Preferences window just stops responding and I have to use Force shutdown. I removed the kexts from S/L/E, rechecked disk permissions, and the problem persists. I don't see any solution but to reinstall the OS. Is there any other way to solve this?

I would also like to add my thanks to all that posted in this thread.

I tried to get a system up and running about 9 months ago, but didnt search for any guides, so ended up downloading all the different versions of modified OSX and just tried each of them in the hope one would work!

Then i managed to find this guide after i was interested to see if Snow Leopard had been 'cracked', which sort of made me think about trying again with a proper guide (with pics) to follow. Anyway, backed up my documents and followed this guide. (although some small changes)

System Spec:

Asus P5Q Pro (was on official 2002 bios, now running Juzzi 2102 modified as posted on this page of this thread)
Q9550 @ 3.8ghz
8GB DDR2 1066mhz
1TB Samsung F3
ATi 4870 1GB
M-Audio ProFire2626
Onboard Ethernet
PCI Firewire Controller (Texas Instruments) + Onboard Firewire

I actually used iATKOS v7 (10.5.7) simply because i downloaded the wrong torrent, i was intending to follow the v5 (10.5.5 or 10.5.6) guide as explained.

Upon first time of starting up, i got a grey screen and thought 'this aint gonna work' but after a reset and a single boot with -x, managed to get into OSX. Of course, resolution was super huge but it worked!

For Kexts, i used the ATI 48xx driver package that is posted at the start of another thread. Just a simple install and reboot and it was all good. Even my second HDTV (DVI-HDMI) worked at its native resolution and had overscan applied instantly! I got the orange icons, so downloaded the two zips that fix this, again no problem (in the guide). Only one i couldn't get working instantly was the ethernet controller. The kext you posted installed ok, but just didnt recognize the controller. So i follow your link on the guide to other kexts drivers, and downloaded another and it worked and recognised as soon as i installed it via kexthelper. USB and firewire also work no problems.

Only part i cant get to work is the shutdown. Restart works, but shutdown doesnt seem to. The system sort of hangs and isnt responsive, but to be honest, its the least of my worries! I've tried the fixes posted but still doesnt seem to want to work. Will keep trying and testing  

I was expecting loads of errors and problems even once i had installed OSX, but so far it's been about 12 hours and its running just fine. Next i need to get myself another hard drive and figure out how to dual boot with Windows 7, but first, on to SL!

I'm so happy i've got it working that i may even do my own little mini-guide for anyone with similar specs. As soon as you know what your doing, you can have OSX installed faster than you can Windows 7! It's amazing, everything works far better than i ever expected it to, and the speed of it is unbelievable. My main concept was to get Logic 9 running (for uni) along side Pro Tools M-Powered. Have i got them installed and working, you bet!

Again, thanks to all that posted and contributed in the thread. Reading your comments and problems seemed daunting at first, but since has helped me with small problems.

Oh, one quick question. OSX 10.5.x cant access 8GB RAM right (32-bit)? Are the rules identical to 32-bit Windows? i.e. 4gb MAX shared between all devices (inc GPU memory etc) and 2gb per application?

Cheers from a very happy chap!
Nathan.
