BiTRiP Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 @Candurin, Thanks for your comment but thats not this is about. It's about running/installing OSX in general on a P45 system with multiple cores. Its not about upgrading to 10.5.5. You are right about removing AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext is important when upgrading but that trick was already known with 10.5.2 and up. BiTRiP BiTRiP the bios u updated cannot work.. i can install the mac.. but cannot boot up into the os.. when i boot up there put HFFFFFFFF HFS+ partition error @Dragon4567, This HFS problem is defniately not related to my bios mod.

dandaman1976 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 hey Bitrip any clues to the modded asus bios that does not allow vista or xp to boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn't mean to come off like an a$$! I just thought that was the intended purpose of this thread. And since I found so much help in this thread I would give back. The deleting the file from the folder during install is just so much easier than using the terminal program to do it (as I see mentioned in all the other threads).

BiTRiP Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 @candurin, np bro. Just a misunderstanding. ---- @Dandaman1976, Try this remod and cross fingers. There is still a risc of damaging it tho, so try at own risc. Good luck! BiTRiP m70vAS_207_ReMod_By_BiTRiP.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfallkavu Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 BiTrip, im really sorry for bothering you so much. Ive just been working on this for over two weeks. Ive tried so many distros with it. Im still failing at the Buffer IO error upon boot. I can install fine, it just fails at Buffer IO on startup, ranging from JAS 10.4.8 through Kalyway 10.5.2. I have an ICH10R and a P45. Ive also looked at the fix for Buffer IO. Ive used an old tiger, and disabled firewire. Still nothing. I really think this is my only chance for a Mac. Please help me out.

Skyfallkavu Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I understand, im getting pretty tired too. I misnamed the error by accident, sorry. Its Cluster IO. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b206/SKy...vu/IM000583.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b206/SKy...vu/IM000584.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b206/SKy...vu/IM000585.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b206/SKy...vu/IM000586.jpg The last one is the best one. EDIT: Thats booting JAS 10.4.8 w/ PPF1 and PPF2. Its the same error for every version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDK2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Asus P5Q fully working. I have installed Iatkos v.4 and updated to 10.5.5. Only onboard lan is not working. I just put in an old Realtek pci card. You will need to use af modified bios. I use 0703. I have spend hours (many) - but now I have af dualbooting system with Vista and Mac Leopard 10.5.5 (Iatkos v.4 upgraded). I can update from apple without any problems. Thanks to everybody in the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmtree953 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I understand, im getting pretty tired too. I misnamed the error by accident, sorry. Its Cluster IO. Just to verify, you are running with a mod'ed bios right? (Just mentioning because this is where I think it will get stuck if you don't have a mod'ed bios).

Skyfallkavu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Its not modded. Their the latest Foxconn BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDK2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Asus P5Q. You can install with the latest bios from Asus - 1306. In that case you need to boot with: -v cpus=1 Also when you reboot after install. However - I just learned the other day, that booting with cpus=1 gives other problems - Like Timemachine not working. But I guess it works 90% even without moded bios. You have to set sata in bios to: AHCI. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon4567 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 @Dragon4567, This HFS problem is defniately not related to my bios mod. It's something to do with the bootloader which you didn't do right. (chameleon or boot 132?) BiTRiP sorry i very noob don't know wat is chameleon or boot132.. sorry i only know tat now i got to put the mac cd to boot into mac.. isit i got to install chameleon or boot132 so tat i do not need the disc?? can u guild me?? and i set the harddisc to ahci in the bios am i rite??

antex Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Then i flash a modded 1306 bios to p5q deluxe, saved configuration bios profiles will be deleted or there is a way to save it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiTRiP Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 @skyfallkavu, That's definately the problem, you need your bios modded. I already took a look at it but its different then most Asus mobo so I don't know if I can do that. Will try later again. BiTRiP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfallkavu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for taking a look at it. Lets hope it can be modded. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
