Recommended Posts

hey guys,

 

im just wondering if anyone can recomend a Leo version that'll work with an AMD Phenom?

i've tried Kalyway 10.5.2 for Intel/AMD and EFI 10.5.2 for AMD...

i just keep getting restarts right after booting from the disk..

 

stats:

Processor: AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor

Mobo: MSI MS-7376, version 1.0 (MSI K9A2 Platinum)

Northbridge: ATI RD790 rev. 00

Southbridge: ATI SB600 rev. 00

2x 2GB DDR2 pc2-6400 OZC RAM

2x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Crossfired)

 

any help would be great :(

Check out this post. http://forum.infinitemac.com/comments.php?...p;page=1#Item_1 Shadow3K has succeeded with the K9A2 CF motherboard, which is a phenom mobo, but it uses the 790x/sb600 chipsets (and close , im finding.. does not count)

 

I have the same mobo as you do (specs below) and Im trying Zephyroth 10.5.2. I've gotten it all installed, but I'm wrestling with "still waiting for boot device" which makes me think the 790fx chipset isnt supported.

 

If you find a distro that works, I'd love to hear about it!!!! I can't seem to find the KEXTs needed for the 790fx

 

Specs in the sig!

same problem to me!

it freezes and restarts again....

 

i didnt knew that it was a sata issue....

 

 

but i think i installedr 2 years ago a tiger dvd to a amd system with sata drives .....it was the myzar 10.4.9

but i think it would not work becouse the phenom is new and will not be compatible

 

my question ist why didnt any body who cann programm such things integrate all drivers for the most common hardware devices evan if it dont fits on a single dvd it could fit on a dvd double layer disk
