Hoodad Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hello Insanely Mac:ers! I'm new here so pleas be kind to me... The problem that's occurring during my attempts to run the mac OS X installation a varied. Mostly 2 main problems though... Computer; Amd Phenom II 720 BE Gigabyte GA-MA790X f5 BIOS Windows 7 RTM 1. I have downloaded iDeneb 1.6 1058 lite and burned it (checked that the md5 is ok, it is!) changed BIOS from native IDE to ACHI changed boot priority to my DVD. Rebooted pressed f8 typed -v cpus=1 it continuous booting, until 5 sec later it crashes just as the Apple logo is about to appear, last thing i see on the screen is "starting darwin". I add that I have tried booting with these different boot settings -v , -x, -f, cpus=1 and in various combination, nothing. 2. Then I thought about trying it on VMware, so I followed this guide VMware Guide. Downloaded the files for just that guide, got VMware workstation and fire it up, I got further just until 1 minut or so in it stopps and tells me that there is a ERROR code "unkown SIGSEGV code 0" Google on that and you will find that most of these are caused by AMD processors, leading me to believe there is a problem with my AMD CPU... So I'm asking if someone in this forum has a AMD processor that has been able to install with iDeneb (any version)? Also I found that a guy on the tube was able to install with exactly my motherboard.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQZ6HjxPpk4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodad Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Can it be windows 7? Is it even worth trying XP or VISTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Still same problems both on WMware and regularly bootmethod Hi, I had the exact same issue as you and only solution worked is moving the mouse. Is your hard drive controler set to AHCI mode? If not please set it to AHCI mode. Dude It took me about couple of months to install this ideneb 1.4 I hope with couple of days effort you will found solution here. Thanks, Hello! I have no idea what that would do any difference ;S But no it dosen't work...

DappleBook Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hoodad I got your pm and rather than keep things private, thought I'd post here. I added my install info to the wiki if you want to take a look here's the link and scroll down to the Gigabyte board. I never had the issues you are having. I am not dual booting as I installed the OSX on it's own Sata drive. Other than what I outlined in the wiki I don't have any experience to offer. Here's the link and I hope you are able to work it out! http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.5.8#Gigabyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodad Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 No dont keep it private, if I or anyone else in here would help someone with there post it would be great So you just started? And choose to boot from DVD? You didn't change any settings in BIOS? I'm interested in the settings so I can imitate your installation, and for the record I have a extra amd 6000+x2 processor that I'm planing on try out if nothing else workouts =/ I also have an extra Sata harddrive for the OS X, if I would get it going...

DappleBook Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Did you even click on the wiki link I gave you? Like I said, I entered all the details of the install in that wiki. Following it SHOULD get you a good install if you have the GA-MA-790X-UD4 motherboard. No dont keep it private, if I or anyone else in here would help someone with there post it would be great So you just started? And choose to boot from DVD? You didn't change any settings in BIOS?
