Hi all,

I've just order this board and waiting for postman..

Asrock 775Dual-VSTA

 

I would like to have feedback if any of you has install osx on this board.

There is no info on wiki on this quite new board. I will change that soon ;) .

I've read about audio chipset that can be make working changing id in plist.

I'm quite sure that network won't work since the chip is the same than other asrock board.VIA PHY VT6103. I will put a wifi dongle or a pci internal card.

I've also read that install work better on ATA with both device hard drive and dvd on the same ctrl.

I plan to use ATI radeon 9600 pro agp with cal driver. and pentium D805.

 

Anyway your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mathias Muller

Well, so far I've had no problems installing. the problem comes after that, upon boot. Seems the only way for me to boot is to remove all USB devices, else it gets locked up. Also, now it won't go to the desktop, just a blank, blue screen... This is the third time I've tried installing, getting the same problem...

Oh {censored}. What version of osx your are trying ?

What is your video card ? agp /pcie ?

I'am so disapointed. I will try myself when i got ordered part. I will give feed back on thsi thread. If i do not succeed in will return the card i think.

Do you have play with bios option. USB legacy things like that ?

 

What does the -v boot option says ?

Good luck

Well, I'm using 10.4.6 JaS' release. I have a PCI-E gfx card, an ASUS 7900GT-TOP. I messed around with USB legacy and such, disabling/enabling/automizing it doesn't matter, just removing them is the only way to continue with my boot. -v boots normally if USB is removed, so the problem isn't there. The USB thing is in my other thread that I started on page 2, if you want to know what happens with USB devices. Since this uses VIA chipset, I installed the VIA chipset driver under customize in installation.

err... the VIA driver is included in JaS' release.

I should try safe mode...

EDIT: ok, -v -x, boots, set up TCP/IP, goes to blank terminal screen. I can input stuff. Now what?

Edit2: Ok, safe mode is useless. I can type stuff, and hit [enter] but it doesn't do anything! WTF?

EDIT3: ok... it's been on since I posted this post, and just recently started going on about some 'mDNSResponder' over and over... I'll restart, and try to disable network...

Sounds weird. I'am typing this post using my x86 box on my dell inspiron 8600 after rebooting and set the flag on boot seq.

Using this mode in do not have all driver loaded but you should boot in graphics mode.

It 's sounds like osx do not start completly.

FYI the last things i saw in the log before graphics came is:

it works in safe mode, I'll boot again in regular and see if it works. I need to find drivers for the network card and the onboard audio. both are realtek devices, I believe.

for sound you should try this tips:

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=18642

 

Changing the deviceid do the trick i've heard.

For the network i do not know.

Good luck !!

I wish i have already my board !! ;-)

 

EDIT: How does it perform. in safe mode graphics operation like expose are damn slow but the rest should be fine.

EDIT 2: Sound is Realtek ALC888 7.1channel audio CODEC with High Definition Audio

LAN is VIA PHY VT6103 driver seems to be there http://www.pinxue.net/mac/viarhine.html

Audio - Realtek ALC888 7.1channel audio CODEC with High Definition Audio

LAN - VIA PHY VT6103

- Speed: 10/100 Ethernet

- Supports Wake-On-LAN

From Asrock.com

AUDIO is ALC888, not 882.

Ok, it works in normal mode, w/o safe mode or -v

Now, I just need to figure out this whole network conundrum.

EDIT: ok, boot into windows, move file into file_share partiton.

Ok then... this jargon is even more confusing then windows... what do I do with the kext, how do I logon as root?

Have you tried this board instead ??? Asrock 915GL I read somewhere its the developers MOBO. Sounds like nothing is wrong with that board. I would check the wiki pages if it is even on The HCl list. Just because its asrock doesnt mean its going to be a flawless install.

He is talking about the AsRock P4Dual 915 socket 478 MB. Go here for details:

This board is no longer available anywhere unless you find one on an auction site such as ebay. If you find a new one for sale anywhere, you are in luck. I bought mine sometime in december of last year (2005) from www.icomputer.com but that was the last one in stock. Good luck finding one.

Ok, how do I change the deviceid... I'm pretty good with comuters (The one I'm putting OsX86 is 100% custom-build) but I have no clue on what OS to do that in, how to do it, or what to do once I'm done.

Well do want said in the given thread but instead of 0x10ec0882 just put 0x10ec0888.

in AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

for IOPCIPrimaryMatch section you have to have a look in device manager> system devices for the pci id of your sound device. not sure what i will look like since i still waiting my mobo.

have a look at this post in the previous thread.
