scooter555 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yeah I tried it and sadly it didn't work . Ah well back to researching. Your motherboard has the exact same FSB as this one ( M4A78T-E ), the FSB is the 2600MHz Hyper Transport (5200 MT/s) with the same north and south bridges: North Bridge : AMD 790GX, South Bridge : AMD SB750. So try to boot with the same command (fsb=200000000) make sure all the numbers and spaces are EXACT, 2 followed by 8 zero's. Try different cpus amounts (cpus=1 should work for any of them at least). Look for successful installs that match your exact motherboard and processor and make sure you have the exact same version of the iDeneb, I found this page for you: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.6 Scroll down till you find your motherboard, follow those steps exactly, then try to play with the boot command (start with the one listed here since your FSB is the same) here is the main page for the osx86 projects which lists all the versions and the components that have had successful installs, Hope this all helps.

Goffwithag Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yeah I've tried (well counting the dvds on my desk right now) 6 or 7 different distro's including the one listed on the hcl. I think the biggest problem i have is not knowing what to include in the setup. I have tried all of the suggested things in this forum and others but to no avail.

todesto Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have the same mobo, has anyone been able to get the default graphics driver to work? thats my only complaint is that the resolution won't go above 1024x768 by default. I'll do some research but I will probably end up buying a graphics card anyways. if you search this forum, I asked the same question about mobo graphic card, but was not successful finding the answer. So I ended up buying nVidia 9500GT which is sames evil666 has and it works perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkir Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I am currently using one with the same memory config but with a dual core phenom II but i guess this should be no pbm. I have tried booting with SL 10.6.1 distro for AMD by Hazard but the same thing happened (the rebooting). I have tried booting in verbose mode with the parameter you specified but to no avail, it kept rebooting. My hware config is the same except for the CPU & my graphic card is an HD 4850. Did you play around with the bios setting? Oh yes, my HD is a sata and so is my dvd drive. My keyboard & mouse are both usb. Are these of any problem? Please assist me, i really appreciate your help on this. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkir Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 please upload picture of the error you say "Witing on boot volume with UUID" msg. Then the machine will simply hang... its a hardware hang because the keyboard is not functional (you can see from the caps lock button light do not change when press), the hdd stop... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumptor Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 first off just wanted to say this guide has been extremely helpful. I've had mine running for a couple of months now. \you don't need to remove firewire. and make sure to not select more than one option under Nvidia graphics cards. you have to be very specific with it. Just wondering if you actually have to have 1333 ram or is 1066 ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasHL Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hallo, iDeneb: mouse is not working (usb-mouse), very bad. Attention: at startup "busratio=20" (and -v -x....) must be typed in 10.6.0 snow leopard: works, but no sound, screen=1024*768. Update does not work, because BaseInstall.pkg is missing.
