Hi,

 

I have a Pc with an AMD FX-4100, 8 Gigs of Ram, and a radeon 6870 2gb. I used Nawcom's Mod CD to install OSX (with a few boot flags) and it succeeds and reboots. After reboot, it starts to boot into OSX, but hangs at Controller will be unloaded across sleep. Could it be that im installing to a usb external 2tb hdd? If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please respond.

Please post pics. Also, be sure you are using the latest version of the ModCD (called the OSX86 ModCD), and not the older one (called the nawcom ModCD). I have a detailed OSX86 ModCD installation guide in my signature.

 

Reduce your machine to 4GB of RAM.

ya I don't think I ever got that specific hangup, but when I was installing on my system I had LOTS of KP's/hangups with multiple distros and ModUSB/ModCD. My system is similar to yours, and what I did to make it work after using Nawcomm's ModUSB was booting with arch=i386 -force64 busratio=XX maxmem=4096

If Nawcoms ModCD/USB wont boot the OS (once installed) try using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

I had to boot the Snow Leopard DVD with Nawcoms ModCD, then once installed I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] for the first boot from HDD.

When sitting for a while, does it say "Still Waiting for Root Device"? Boot it in verbose and let it sit for 10 minutes and see if anything happens.

try to see and play with the options

 

the problem as a easy fix in intel, with dsdt patch, but amd...

 

EHCI ownership patch

I think that there might be a Waiting for Root Device problem too...considering I never saw Got Boot Device.

mongo, now yours is a little different...you do get to Got Boot Device...

 

I wouldn't think the USB controller issue would prevent booting...anything else happen after a while?

nothing it didn't move for a half hour while I was cleaning house, and the only way I can get it to even to that, also had to for install, was the rd(0,0)/Extra/modbin_kernel -v. If I use -x it fails at the tmsafetynet.kext. tried everything, busratio, cpus=kernel panic, but from that pic it looks like it pics up my 4 cores.

 

I also pulled my hardware list from linux so I have all my id's. I can post that if you need

 

Edit: Sorry for threadjacking. Here is my thread http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=275953&hl=&fromsearch=1

What boot CD are you using, mongo? You might have to use the modbin kernel for your installation. It's pretty easy to copy. What's your KP?

 

sicily, boot a Linux Live CD, open the Terminal, and type

 

lspci -nn

 

if that doesn't work, type

 

lspci

 

and paste the output here.

I'm using the new osx86 boot cd. The only way I could even get it to install and not panic was using modbin. I try that again to boot and it sticks on the screen that I took a pic of.
