sebekz Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 My config: - CPU Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz - MB Foxconn P35A-S - RAM 8GB OCZ Titanium - GPU Radeon 3850 512MB - Lots of HDDs (Raptor and two Samsungs 250GB and 750GB, not to mention the external Seagate FreeAgent) - Vista Ultimate 64bit as the main OS I tried both iAtikos v4i and Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd (sse2/sse3) EFI, with the same result. Here is how it goes: 1) I burn the ISO to the DVD 2) I reboot and boot from the DVD 3) On the Darwin boot screen, I hit F8 and run -v 4) A few kext's are loaded and after a few seconds the screen goes black blank, nothing is being read from the DVD, the HDD is silent... I Googled a lot for similar simptoms, but found nothing. Usually people with problems see some error messages thanks to the verbose mode. In my case, all I can tell you is that I get a blank screen a few seconds after I run -v Please guide me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one for an P35AX-S sometime ago. You can try to mod the BIOS yourself or just try to find an already modded one for d/ling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candykane Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 -cpu problem you could boot with cpus=1 - RAM 8GB OCZ Titanium 4gb or more ram could be a problem you have to turn one memorie remap in the bios (addresing ram in 64 bit) or you could get spontanius shutdowns - GPU Radeon 3850 512MB only works with 10.5.2 graphics update - did you stet your sata controllers to aci mode in the bios? and booting a dvd can take a verry verry long time!! some times 5-10 minuts befor you get the menu screen.

candykane Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 "Yes, but nobody wont this." Tons of people use this cpus=1 for installation! (loads of laptop guys that have trouble with multi core cpu's) Besides if the computer still hangs @ installing then its not the bios supporting more then 1 cpu, then problem then is some thing else.

iPhoneTom Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 then problem then is some thing else. Indeed, the problem is that he needs an BIOS (DSDT) -Mod. So.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
