DanielSCC Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hey Guys I have been trying to install Mac OS X since i bought my computer... With this release i was able to get through the "waiting for root device" error but i cant get past the apple logo when OS X is booting. If i use the -v and -x flags, it works successfully, and ive tried to change the kexts to find out the source of the problem but i still get the blue screen when i try to boot into OSX. My specs are: Motherboard: GA-MA790X-DS4 (SB600 southbridge) Graphics card: Sapphire 3870 GDDR4 1GB HDs- 100GB and 80GBs (both IDE) DVD drive- ASUS SATA Drive Wireless Card- Linksys WMP54G- not Working Audio- AC889- not working Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreX86 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Installed successful on my system (had to add my dev id's for my 6800xt however): AMD x2 3800+ GIGABYTE GA-M51GM-S2G 3 GIGs ~What does not work (has never worked really...): 6 port sound (only single output). Built in Ethernet Thank you Lawless & Zephyroth for a near perfect install. BTW, could some one give me advise on how to get all channels on my audio working? i use ACL883. Also i would like to find out why my onboard ethernet is not working. I have a feeling there may be some modifications i need to make to some kext files but i would like a 100% working system. Also, i installed the system on 3 GB's memory at 677, now if i remove one of the non paired memory modules the mghz is then changed to 800, but i get a kernel panic when running the system like this, is there away around this or would i have to install the system when the memory is running at 800mhz? BTWx2: I use "idlehalt=0" under the 'kernel flag' to get rid of the mouse lag which would usually present itself after a few hours. Also this fixed the random crashing of my apps and the -10810 error i would receive. > http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Tips_And_Tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreX86 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 @ LawlessPPC This is what i get when i'm using -v -f ( Have'nt removed the kext yet ). I had this same issue when i tried Lawless for the first time and i was pissed. But i tried it again on secondary drive, possibly after making some changes to the bios and it worked. Tried again on main drive and it worked. Its been working fine ever since i have used the disc a few times to install on the system. Its possibly its strictly related to a setting in the bios. I would set your bios to default maybe and enable only what is needed? Dont know honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayank Anand Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 K first off i hope Lawless u can help me out with my problem.....i have spent the whole day on this site reading and re-reading trying to get a fix of the problem with my installation The problem lies with pre-installation of the mac-os-x. It shows "Still waiting for boot Device" I have a clean burn with verified by Nero. Burnt at 4x speed. 1)Their is no problem with the CD or the detecting of the startup installation. 2) it starts with the whole process of instalation but stops at something liek UUID: USBF: soemthing like that and then goes to the "Still waiting for boot device". Now for my hardware whyit might now be functioning. i have ((((((((((((((Processors Map ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number of processors 1 Number of threads 4 Processor 0 -- Core 0 -- Thread 0 -- Core 1 -- Thread 0 -- Core 2 -- Thread 0 -- Core 3 -- Thread 0 Processors Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Processor 1 (ID = 0) Number of cores 4 (max 4) Number of threads 4 (max 4) Name AMD Phenom X4 9550 Codename Agena Specification AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor Package Socket AM2+ (940) CPUID F.2.3 Extended CPUID 10.2 Brand ID 10 Core Stepping DR-B3 Technology 65 nm Core Speed 1100.1 MHz (5.5 x 200.0 MHz) HT Link speed 1800.2 MHz Stock frequency 2200 MHz Instructions sets MMX (+), 3DNow!

Just installed it on an intel ACER 5920 Laptop and runned sucessfully but not on the Phenom. Please give some sort of an guide because we are noobs but can understand english and have got so far with the installation. by the reading i have done i could understand that because i have the hardisk and the cd-rom both on the IDE drives i am not able to find and run both together but then i dont have anyother way. Cant afford to buy a sata rom drive now. is their anyother way out PLz Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias6 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Been few days now and no reply......I have given all the requirements for my system above can someone help me please??? Thanks. Are you SURE your mobo is supported? Check HCL wiki and remeber Lawless has based this on ZEPHYROTH's v2. If it is, make sure you havnt got your DVD drive slaved to HD (or other way around). Make them on seperate IDEs as master. This caused a problem for me on my first attempt. To my question: can I use this to UPDATE my Zeph 10.5.2, aka install keeping apps and settings? Or will I have to start-a-fresh? -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayank Anand Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 K u are right and i understood that, but i have a problem here because i have only 1 IDE slot in my motherboard and hence running both the harddisk and the Cd-rom dive togehter is my only option. So this means i wont be able to install MAc on my PC unless i either get a SATA rom drive or a sata hardisk. OOOOOHHH!!!!!! Cant afford it right now. Is their another option guys for my problem. Instad of buying a whole new CD-Rom drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixeladdict Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Great release, runs the smoothest out of all that I've tried. Had to use the latest NVInject 512 to get my resolution fixed. Not tested dual monitors yet. Only other thing is my sound isn't working. I'm happy to test different drivers myself, where's a good list of the kexts to test for sound? Can't seem to find a decent list of the top ones that are out there. AMD 64 X2 3800+ GeForce 7600 512MB ECS nForce4 mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmp2002 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hello. I want to say something about this ISO, so I have no problem working on my computer. But when I use Final Cut Pro i can capture and edit without problem, but when I want to export the project to burn a DVD the system freezes or appears a screen that says "You need restart the system" almost always by 10% and is editing or not. I Changed video card and nothing, and I have been reviewing, I found that the system bus speed Data is 200 MHz, but at the manufacter´s website says speccifies Bus like 2000 Mhz to 5200 Mhz. I´m looking for some option to see where the system fails, Actually I don´t know if this is really the problem ... this is my Pc: Mother : Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 Processor: AMD Phenom 9600BE Quad-Core Memory: 8 GB DDR2 667 Mhz Kingston Video: Nvidia 8500GT Hard Drives: 1 WD 320 Gb SATAII(Windows and aplications backup) 1 Seagate 320 SATAII (video and video ISO) 1 Seagate 500 SATAII (in two partitions one whit leopard and the other for video) DVD-RW : Samsung SATA and Lite on SATA. When i´m installing the OS, on the custom installation, at the zone of the chipset i select "VIA SIS MARVELL AND SB CHIPSET" only. Does i need to add or select another chipset? Thanks to Everybody, any sugesstions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawlessPPC Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 somethings i know that will effect the installation of this release and others. Alot of it comes down to your hardware. Slave and master drive configs can make a huge difference. If it wont boot (install or os) with dvd as slave then try master. Bios settings have a dramatic effect on everything. The best process if you have problems is disable everything you can in the bios eg firewire on board sound etc. Then just do an install with your chipset kext. Then once you have a booting system start to add all other kexts. I am shortly going to write a bit of a guide about everything i have found about problems with bios etc. 1 thing i have found is that depending on what your bios settings are will cause the create account loop. This goes for the majority of distros not just mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
