douggy12345 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi I have been trying for about 4 days now to get a decent working installation on a brand new PC i bought specifically for this project. I gave up with Zephyroth rev1 and 2 and am now trying Leo4Allv3. I am worried I made a big mistake when choosing hardware because I didn't really know enough about it. My specs are: iCute 400watt PSU ECS GeForce6100SM -M2 Mobo AMD 64 X2 4200+ CPU 2GB DDR2 800 RAM 250GB SATA (3Gb/s) Samsung SATA DVD-RW I have managed to get it to boot to desktop without any video drivers installed - but it boots pretty slowly and I have no ethernet and the video is unchangable. I am wondering whether I am trying to use the wrong installation (haven't tried kalyway) or whether it just wont be compatible with my motherboard. Also, could there be a problem with using onboard graphics and LAN? I tried an MCP61 forcedeth driver from the Leo4Allv3 resources page (http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/utilities-resources) but it didn't seem to help... I also tried the 10.5.3 update as well listed on that page but that froze during install and the completely f**ked the whole thing up and I have to start fresh. I really don't think I can put too much time to this and because my knowledge doesn't extend far enough I am in need of some help! Any ideas?

Check the Hardware Compatibility List: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.2 I am worried I made a big mistake when choosing hardware because I didn't really know enough about it. You could have asked or checked the HCL. .nomac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118285-leo4allv3-will-it-work-on-my-machine/#findComment-838059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfin Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Did you get your machine working? I have a machine with the same motherboard and was thinking about giving it a try. I tried iDeneb 1.3 and it installs fine, but I get stuck on "still waiting for root device". What chipset and other options did you select?
