the.master Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 it worked!!! when i boot with -v i can log in, but when i restart again a can't boot. I can boot only if i type -v.VEEERY STRANGE!!!! Also i have no network, but the strange think again is that i can see my ethernet at the network panel when i am installing i choose the above drivers: skge driver - this is for my network card ALC882 - for Audio ATI 2600 pro - for my graphic card is that right??? Have you configured the network adapter? or is it still set to manually connect in the network manager? The drivers for the LAN and audio are correct. You didn't say what graphics card you have, but if you have the ATI 2600 pro then your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This WILL not work. Notice how in the title, it says 'Phenom & AMD'? Well, Phenoms and AMDs are processors. You have an Intel processor. Therefore, you do NOT have the correct processor for this distro. So, yeah. You might wanna try something else. Idk what, as I don't look at Intel distros. Bottom line - Phenom & AMD 10.5.4 will NOT work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people have had a dificult time installing on that board with other discs. ? You can just try it, if it works great, if it doesn't come back and let us know where you stuck and then we can go from there. If you are planning on install to your internal hard drive and dual booting you should probably check out the dual forum here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=104 how did you get the onboard lan tot work?? have the same mainboard aswel....

Other people have had successful installs on Intel. If you remeber real macs use Intel so the closer you are the a real mac hardware the easier it is. BUT if it reboot automatically then its not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also search the wiki HCL for your hardware, your graphics card probably is no problem, sound might be a problem and if you have Intel wifi you're pretty much screwed. I tried 4/5 release before finally getting it to work problemfree with this release. Let the forum search function be your best friend before asking new questions, it will save you a lot of flame throwing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've noticed your processor shows up has only having one core but if the activity monitor shows the graph for two cores. You can change the profiler so it has the right info, just follow this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...4&hl=smbios The Encore ENLWI-N wireless card is a Ralink RT2860 chipset and Ralink codes the drivers for OS X themselves which is the miror the wiki provides. So they should work no problem. Here is the driver: http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/..._2007_11_26.dmg It is the same driver provided by the wiki. Try downloading again and reinstalling.

Onikage Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 mickeymouse: did you install the nvidia driver and apporpriate NVInject at Installation time? As for my current experience, I finally got wireless working on my install. I bought an ASUS WL-138G V2 from newegg and installed that. It would not work with the customized Broadcom kext that gets installed with this release. I used Pacifist to open up the package of 4Minds 10.5.4 combo update and took a "virgin" kext from there (IO80211Family.kext). After that OS X detected the card as airport and it ran fine. My current problem is that I ran software update and now OS X will no longer boot. Among the updates were Itunes, Quicktime, Airport Update, and a Security update. I tried booting in safe mode and it doesn't work. Verbose mode stops after the point where it detects two NTFS volumes (my other drives) so i am not sure what the problem is nor how to roll back. I might just format AGAIN and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
