Hi,

this month ASUS and MSI released mainboards with Intel's new P45 chipset and the ICH10 southbridge chipset.

It features:
6x S-ATAII ports,
1x GBit LAN,
1x PCIe 2.0 x16
2x PCIe 2.0 x8,
max. 16GB 667/800/1066/1333 DDR2 and DDR3 RAM.

For example the:
MSI P45 Neo-F/FR/Neo2-FR, P45 Platinum and P45D3
ASUS P5Q /Pro /Deluxe

Do you know if one of this boards is able to run Leopard, or if there are any problems with USB, SATAII controller, sound or something else.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

P5Q Deluxe can't boot, hang...... help

tried iAtkos V2.0 , kalyway 10.5.2 and leo4allv3

I had installed the Leo4all v3 and Kalyway 10.5.2 on my ex-system of ASUS P5K-E Wifi, I replaced the motherboard with the new ASUS P5Q-Deluxe few days ago, every other hardwares are the same. As expected both Leo4all and Kalyway can't boot up and the both installation disc can't boot up too. I think we have to wait for the next updates to support this P45 chipset!

What kind of error do you get?

For my P45 Platinum no go. It just hangs on already installed 10.5.x , the Install DVD (Kalyway a. Leo4all) stops on an kernel panics (SMC_ACPI_xxx).

Needs some new drivers huh

I am planning got get a P45 board for my osx86 as well.
For the kernel panics, have u tried to set `ACPI Suspend type` to S3 in bios ?
If that doesn't work, try others setting as well.

Tried w/ all possible settings in BIOS, like i said, no go.

Same here with the new P5Q3 mobo, no go with any OSX86 DVD.
I posted a screenshot in this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=112033

Hope our hero Netkas can do the magic again....let's hope so.

I have the same problem.

My computer is

- motherboard P5Q deluxe
- Intel Q9300
- 4 gb Ram
- Ati 3870


I tried with different version of Mac installation (kalyway 10.5.2 and leo4allv3) but without success.

Hi I decide to try to install Leopard with my P45. I'll wait a new release with new drivers.
but how can I cancel the partial installation of Leopard? Microsoft Vista still work but before the Vista boot there are some code of mac that I can see in the monitor.

Please help.

Thanks

I had success with GA-EP45-DSP4 using Boot-132 method. Have look at this thread.

Tengo un MSI P45 Neo-F con un micro E8400 corriendo el Leopard 10.5.2 de Kaliway.
Luego de innumerables jornadas tratando de instalarlo y de haber probado con todas las distribuciones posibles logré instalarlo de la siguiente manera

1) Actualicé el BIOS a la última versión, lo que me permitió configurar el SATA en modo AHCI para que me reconociera los discos y la lectora de DVD.
2) Configuré el BIOS por defecto y le cambié
PCI IDE Busmastering: Enabled
On-chip SATA controller: Enabler
Raid mode: AHCI
ACPI function: Enabled
API standby state: S3
3) Instale el Kaliway sin ninguna configuración especial.
4) Inicié la máquina desde el XP con el MacDrive instalado para poder ver los dispositivos HFS+.
5) Reemplacé todas las extensiones de la instalación del disco rígido por las que vienen en el sistema del DVD Kaliway.
6) Inicié de nuevo con el DVD y reparé permisos con la utilidad de disco.
7) Reinicié desde el disco rigido y lo hizo sin problemas, reconociendome la red.
8) Instalé el driver para mi placa de video Nvidia 8400 de 256 megas y me la reconoció.
9) Lo que me falta es instalar el sonido.

hello... Sorry about my poor experience whith running MAC OS X on PC but once I have a very recent mobo (intel P45), I think you could help me guys... If you can, check my post presenting my config and problem: - mobo Biostar T-Power I45

thanks a lot...

Hola bem, te queria consultar como hiciste para que botee el kaliway... lo instale y despues se me queda en el boteo... para que hiciste ese reemplazo de las extensiones¿?? gracias.

Thanks, I'm downloading some versions to try too. So tell me this: will the LEOPARD install in a DVD - IDE writter?? It's not an SATA!! Maybe it's my problem?

Leopard on P5Q PRO.  HERE:

Yes, everything works on Gigabyte GA-P45-DS4, I started with Iatkos 4 with efi and vanilla kernel. Worked but, some things

where mentioned wrong, processor speed and bus speed. ICH10 is mentioned as unknown AHCI controller, but it works.

All programs working, except Logic Pro 8.0.2 (dreadfull audio midi sync problem).

Upgraded to vanilla 10.5.5 (found guide on this forum, pre patch, comboupdate 10.5.5, post patch, restart).

Everything is now properly recognized in system profiler, only the ich10 not yet. Still same problem with Logic Pro).

As this is a DAW Hackintosh, I was desperate and used the post patch again, and switched to a patched kernel,

and YEY, now everything is running great! Including Logic Pro. No longer vanilla, but I don't care.

Oh yeah, I downloaded the realtek lan drivers from the realtek website for the 8111 LAN, working super on my

gigabit network. Blazing speed between my Vista64 PC and my Hackintosh Leopard PC.

I'm using an external Edirol FA-66 firewire audio card, so I don't know if the onboard audio works.

Videocard NVidia XFX 7600GT XXX working great with NVinject with two big screen S-IPS Dell monitors connected.

All USB's are also working.
