cmdrk Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hi all, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on to my machine with iATKOS S3 v2, and I'm sort of stumped. My machine's specs are: Core i5 660 ASUS P7P55D-E 4GB RAM Powercolor Radeon 5850 and the SATA controller is set to AHCI. I can get to the installation screen fine using "busratio=25" at the bootloader. In the "Customize" menu, I picked out my SATA controller and network card drivers, and checked GraphicsEnabler. When I try to boot into OS X (using options busratio=25 -v, and I've also tried busratio=25 -v -x), I just get a black screen and my video card fan kicks up into high gear. I've also tried GraphicsEnabler=no to no avail. I grabbed Netkas's beta driver for the 5850 and placed the kexts into S/L/E (via USB stick and the install CD) and deleted /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext to hopefully reset the kernel driver cache. Upon rebooting, I used "busratio=25 arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=no -f" and got to the Apple logo, but no farther. I'm not sure where to proceed from here. I'm guessing it's a problem with my Radeon 5850. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
