Grumps Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have been working my ass off to setup a standalone Mac OSX 10.5.4 on my desktop and so far the only successful installation came through Kalyway 10.5.2 installer. Right now, I'm attempting to install using iDeneb but after the completion of installation, I'm only to be greeted by a broken image file (X) on top of the silver apple background which i believe that it is the infamous please restart your computer image. Could this be due to hardware incomptability or probably just wrong settings from me? I have tried to boot without any special instruction, with -v and even cpus=1 maxmem=2048 -v Here are the spec for the desktop. Motherboard: ASUSTek Computer Inc PFP800 (Intel i865P/PE/G/i848P) Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz CPU instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2 Ram: 2gb (probably 667) Hard Disk: 320gb IDE (empty) Graphic: ATI Radeoon 9200 Series 256mb Network: D-Link Airplus G DWL-G122 Wireless Network(2): 3COM Gigabit LOM My selection on the Customize menus are the following Chipset: AppleNForceATA Kernel: 9.4.0 Modbin (Intel/AMD/SSE2/SSE3) Audio: AC97Audio Wireless: RT2500-RT73-USB Fix : AppleSMBIOS-27-667 Graphic Card: - (cant find my ATI series) Application: All Can anyone point out where did i go wrong?

Your MOBO is I think a Asus P4P800 with Intel chipsets NOT nForce chipsets......so I suggest you select as follows Audio: AC97Audio Chipset: ICHx Fixed Kernel: 9.4.0 Modbin Ethernet: Skge Marvell Wireless: RT2500-RT73-USB Fix: AppleSMBIOS-27-MP (you maybe also need ACPI-Fix) Video: AgpGart 2.7.1 Applications: Your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inimicus Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 And with a P4 @ 2.4GHz (512KB L2 version)/865 chipset, you're looking at a max of DDR 400 RAM, not 667 (that'd be DDR2). Give monsieur verdant's suggestions a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hmpps can't seem to find the AppleSMBios-27-MP that you've mentioned..should I mark AppleSMBios OLD Version 1.0.1 instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Can anyone advice on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hmpps can't seem to find the AppleSMBios-27-MP that you've mentioned..should I mark AppleSMBios OLD Version 1.0.1 instead? AppleSMBios-27-MP is last in the list under Fix.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Okay I didn't know MP represents MacPro until i started comparing the ReleaseNote haha. However, I have tried the above option with and without ACPI-FIX..its not working out for me...It stucks at Apple Logo after reboot... What else could be the problem? Could it be BIOS setting?
