frinchkin Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This seems to be the unsolvable problem but I was unlucky enough to pick this mobo up and it seems to be one of just a handful that won't work natively with 10.4.3 and up. No matter what I've tried I can't get around the 'unable to find driver for this device acpi' error. I've tried disabling everything in my bios at one point or another and I just can't get it to boot. I get the same thing with 10.4.4 as well. Is there anyone who has an idea as to why this is? Is it just a crappy implementation of acpi with my mobo? What is darwin getting hung up on?

ROELLE Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi frinchkin! Hehe nice to hear that asus released a new bios that fixed some of the problems, what bios setting do you have so you could get it to work? And what relase of os x are you using?

frinchkin Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 hey roelle! i didn't change anything in the bios, only overclocking the cpu a bit and it booted fine. i'm using a pci realtek and soundblaster for network/sound cause from what i understand there's no kext yet for onboard stuff. as far as video i'm sticking with the onboard nvidia hoping that the np driver will come around in the near future which means right now no CI or Quartz. you might want to go without the ati card if you're getting hung up there; but if you get it to work let me know. i used the myzar patched dvd and installed using vmware and then boot using f8 to choose the HD i have it on. good luck!
