iWorld Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hello there, My friend once installed Mac (Leo - iAtkos 10.5.6) on my system but I didn't have a graphic card ,so it didn't run very well. But now again I wish to install Mac...I have the following system configuration. Processor : Intel Dual Core 2.0 GHz Chipset : MCP73V Nvidia GeForce 7050/nForce 610i Memory : DDR II 800 2 GB's LAN : 10/100 Mbps by Realtek RTL8201N Audio : 7.1 Channel Hard Drives : 250 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 + 500 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 Keyboard : iBall (PS/2) Mouse : Logitech (USB) My system shows 256MB onboard shared graphics memory. Will that work with mac? Or Do I need a "REAL" Graphic Card ? Will A PS/2 Keyboard work?? Please reply..... I tried installing iAtkos S3 V2...but was stuck @ "Waiting for root device"...any suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem lies with your PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse combo..........OS X expects to see a USB keyboard and USB mouse...........PS/2 is not naturally supported by OS X........so the PS/2 kexts are hacked kexts..........either all PS/2, or better still, all USB combos are better than a mixed PS/2 and USB combo........
