zwaldowski Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Can you download the app OSX86Tools and run "View PCI Device/Vendor ID"?

acomputerguy1978 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 ok downloaded the tools, but the problem is I can't get Leopard to install, from what I can tell after talking to Insyde and Compaq and a buddy at intel, These are the Specs: InsydeH20 Bios v3 x3100 with the 2a02 id Intel 965GM chipset Compaq c770us Atheros Wifi 5xxx Vista(the problem) I can get leo4all v3 patched to boot and go through to a restart, but none of the installation options allow for a good boot. I either get a kernel panic quick restart or a package 0 No HPET message, I have also noticed a problem with ioscsidevicetype5. Could it be the light scribe DVD burner or this damn Bios.lol The manufacturers are trying hard to make our computers, partially ours.
