Success! iATKOS v7 on Asus P5PE-VM

[sala]

All,

 

After many unsuccessful attempts with iPC 10.5.6 and iDENEB 10.5.6, I have successfully installed iATKOS v7 (10.5.7) on Asus P5PE-VM. Thought I would share the news in case others are having similar problems.

 

My System:

 

-Asus P5PE (Intel 865G, Intel ICH5)

-nVidia 6600 GT VGA Graphics

-On-Board Marvell 88E8001

-On-Board ADI 1888 6-Channel AC'97 Audio

-Two IDE hard drives

-Two SATA hard drives

-Two IDE DVD Writers

 

I installed to one of the IDE hard drives.

 

As best I can remember the options I selected at installation were:

 

-iATKOS v7 Main System

-Chameleon v2

-/Extra directory

-DSDT

-AppleDecrypt

-Disabler

-EFI string for nVidia::DVI/VGA

-Intel SATA/IDE

-Voodoo HDA driver (This didn't end up working so I installed AppleAC97

-Marvell Yukon 88E8001

-Post-Install Actions

 

I had three problems after installation:

 

1. I could only boot successfully with the 'cpus=1' flag. I fixed this by setting the 'Execute Disable Function' to 'Enabled' in the bios.

 

2. Audio didn't work. I simply installed AppleAC97Audio.kext from my old Kalyway 10.5.2 installation, and presto it worked!

 

3. I can't change the resolution. Using "Graphics Mode" has not effect. I couldn't find a fix for this and decided it wasn't really a problem since it correctly found the max resolution of my tv (1920x1080x32) and runs flawlessly at that res.

 

 

I was able to upload to 10.5.8 directly from Software Update without any problems.
