MacThomas Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 don't be sarcastic, just saw you're having problems and thought you should know that not everyone have problems with 690G chipset Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110978-which-amd-release-to-use/page/2/#findComment-790313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme Coder Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ok, I'm adding the kexts for SB600, do I have to edit any IDs or stuff like that?

Extreme Coder Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 AAARRGHH I give up, I keep trying but I just can't make it work. I tried adding the kexts to the DVD, it doesnt give a root device error, but instead it stalls on CODE_SIGNING errors, without anything else. With the SB600 PPF patch, it loads, and I can even install, although it was too slow (maybe its a sign of a problem) yet when I reboot I get the same CODE_SIGNING and some mDNS stuff( can't remember) Is there anything I can do? Please, somebody help me! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110978-which-amd-release-to-use/page/2/#findComment-792124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme Coder Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 W00T! I finally got it working! Here's how: - Get Leo4All v3. - Get SB600 PPF, and patch the ISO. - Boot the ISO, install (it takes a long time, about 2-3 hours) - When you reboot, it will give waiting for root device error. - Boot to Windows ( or Linux in my case), add SB600 kexts(from the SB600 topic in the SATA/ATA section here). - Boot with -v -f, and it's working! Then later on, you can use Kext Helper to not have to use -v -f everytime.

Extreme Coder Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have the sb700 chipset, has anyone been able to install leopard on this? Sorry, I have no idea, but if the SB600 is badly supported, who knows what could happen with SB700? Maybe you should try for yourself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110978-which-amd-release-to-use/page/2/#findComment-792962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneelal Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I get stuck at the same place you were at, both with leo4allv3 and Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd , it looks hopeless.

MacThomas Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi, sorry for late response but when i installed leo4all/kalyway/zephyroth i didn't do anything, just simply installed. Just leo4all and zephyroth releases had to be installed from external DVD drive because i got "still waiting for root device" error.

cgsheen Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have the sb700 chipset, has anyone been able to install leopard on this? Yes... But - I use an external drive & I enable AHCI on my internal SATA drives. Leopard works, but it mostly skirts the SB700.

Styxie Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I used Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev 2 on my AMD system, and it works like a charm. I think there was something about SB in the customize window, you might give that a try if it doesn't work.

cgsheen Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 "Just to be sure, you used an external USB DVD drive?" No. I use an external USB hard drive. I install OSx86 using my internal SATA DVD (in IDE mode) ONTO my external HD. OSx86 recognizes my internal SATA hard drives with AHCI enabled.

I can see my internal sata harddrive during install when AHCI is anable, but stop at a point. I'll have to try and locate an external harddrive or hopefully someone will come up with a solution for SB700. Thanks for the reply.

Obi-Wan Jerkobi Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 In Kalyway 10.5.2 the IDE was oppressively slow. I successfully installed to a SATA drive, but because I didn't have the right kexts there were 2 problems: 1.The SATA was apparently only run at 1.5Gbps 2. The IDE was moving at PIO6 speed, so the the DVD drive was incredibly slow and installation took an hour and a half. (Down 3 hours from installing to an IDE HD) But I had not experienced any of the errors you all had, I already had Windows Running it as an AHCI SATA controller so that was set to the right thing. Once I finished installing and got to a desktop, I DL'd 'SB600_SATA_ATA.zip' from insanelymac and installed them. The SATA and IDE were running at full speed after a reboot. But after a couple more reboots something weird happened. My IDE drives were gone, but my SATA drive remained. It was still going at 3Gbps according to system profiler, and the missing IDE drive descriptions were still there and accurate. But I could not mount them in disk utility and could not even use the CD drive as the rest of the OS doesn't recognize it. Has anyone else experienced this? I've cleared out the kextcache and reinstalled the kexts a couple of times.

I also have the same slow install and then the waiting for root device error.
