PCGeek094 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi I've tried to install iAktos v1.0, and it failed. Has anybody else got it to work with my same Spec's? - MSI P7N nForce 750i SLI Platinum Intel Core 2 Duo E5500 2.0GHz Gainward GeForce 8500GT 256MB @ iAktos, when i saw the boot screen, I pressed F2 then -v Then it loaded, but stopped after 15-20sec. Kinda stuck, tried like 20 times, but it always stops. N33d help, please!

verdant Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 @ PCGeek094 You could alternatively in the meantime, while waiting to see Kabyl will produce a modded MSI P7N BIOS, try iATKOS_v1.0ir2-EqUaTe1+BadBIOS.ppf.......... BTW for future Qs to me......please post in my nForce Series 7 chipset + Intel CPU thread Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115578-msi-p7n-nforce-750i-sli-dual-boot-vista-leopard/#findComment-903123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

groceryman Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am a new to these forums but I noticed some posters in this thread are using the P7N SLI and the P7N Diamond. These are 2 completely different boards so watch out when you download a BIOS. MSI P7N Diamond vs. MSI P7N SLI Platinum BTW I have a P7N Diamond and am interested in doing an OSX86 install but I am still in my "researching" phase. Any tips would be apprecciated.

batlin Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I know this is an old thread, but seeing as there was a post at 3am this morn.. i figure I might as well post... I have been trying to get os x 10.5.5 on my machine for 3 days now.... I have been able to install it just fine... and once the system reboots after starting i get stuck in a reboot loop.. Basically i get the darwin screen.. and then it says "starting osx86" or something to that effect (it flashes REALLY fast) then the screen flashes grey for a split second and then reboots... I have tried -x -s -v And all end up with the same outcome... I have also tried the BIOS flash fix too from http://www.osxcores.site50.net/page1/page1.html Specs of my machine... MSI P7N SLI 750i Platinum Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz XFX PVT84JUSD4 GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card I am running two XFX cards.. SLI but I have taken the second one out for testing (tried both setups) The network card is integrated into the MOBO The audio Card is integrated into the MOBO Hard drive is a seagate IDE 250 iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 Thanks all!!! -K Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115578-msi-p7n-nforce-750i-sli-dual-boot-vista-leopard/#findComment-1024624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan_p_g Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Make Sure HPET & XD ( XD= Execute Bit Disabling it enabled ) is turn on in the Bios settings. Hi, It's my first post here and have a very similar setup. mobo: MSI P7N SLI nforce 750i graphics:9800GTX+ 512MB, Overclocked processor: Intel Core 2 Quad™ Q9550 Processor - 2.83GHz RAM: 6GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM memory Hard Drive: 1TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s hard drive I just wanted to add that after changing my BIOS to 'XD = enabled' darwin booted and I was able to get into the installer. It had been hanging every time up until then. This only seems to work for leo4all v3. I had tried iAtkos 5i with no luck. To get to the install screen I have to set cpus=1 . Once I have selected all the proper drivers(I think) the install locks after about 5 minutes. I've noticed that some people seem to be having issues with the RAM as well and wondering if I need to modify this by setting 'maxmem=2048'? I've also noticed people recommending the modded BIOS's. I did not see mine in the list there as I don't have the diamond P7N SLI. Would love to here some stories of people who have succeeded with this MOBO. Thanks and great forums! evan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115578-msi-p7n-nforce-750i-sli-dual-boot-vista-leopard/#findComment-1096434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
