To my understanding only vista x64 has ahci support. Are you running the 32bit version? If so your just gonna have to enable and disable when needed. See if you can boot into leo with ahci enabled, some have reported that you only need enabled on the mac end for install purposes.

k will try it

From what I read I think you installed Windows while not enabled AHCI and enabled when install OSX. Easiest way is to install ICH10 AHCI Drivers for Vista. Downloaded from Intel or Gigabyte website and extract content.

 

1. Set AHCI to disable.

2. Boot in windows.

3. In device manager select ICH10 Controller and select update drivers.

4. Select have disk and point to contents that you extracted from Drivers package. Make sure you select ICH10 AHCI drivers. Windows will pop-up that it is NOT compatible, ignored it and click yes to install.

5. Restart

6. Set AHCI in BIOS to enable.

7. You should be able to boot in Windows now with AHCI enable.

 

I'm typing from memory so don't blame me if it's incorrect in any step but it should work for you.

Hi recom,

Have you tried these ?

- Sound: I think this link can help you Link.

- Sleep: Even my computer cannot sleep now. Actually, it can sleep but doesn't know how to wake up. Have you tried to use any sleep kernel ?

- Restart: I thinks the fixed AppleACPIPlatform.kext can solve this issue. U can grap it from #Leopard in the IRC channel.

- Shutdown: Sorry. I have no idea about this.

- Update to 10.5.5: What's the problem about this ? Just use netkas method. But u cannot use NVinject or NVkush after updating. GFX-string still works fine.

 

I intend to buy the same mainboard with you but i cannot find much information about it so I really need information from you . Can use give me some detail about your system working status ?

Do the firewire ports works ? Do all the USB ports works ? Any problem at all with the LAN (Because this board have two NIC chips, so which one works ?) ? All the SATA drives works ?

Thanks in advance.

hi all,

Thanks in advanve

@record you didn't had to reinstall vista. There is easy solution to boot non ahci vista with bios enabled ahci, you only have to change one key in registry:

Good, motherboard I bought this today.

Graphics card I purchased a Asus EN8600GT.

The processor I have is an Intel Pentium 4 - 3GHz SCK 775box, which is not very good, but for the moment ...

I would like to know the configuration that put iDeneb to install, so I do not have many problems.

I can remain W. Vista?

 

Thank you

hey recorn,

why don't you try a retail install I have the same board working with the retail install (check signature) If you already have a working system it is prety easy to install... just follow how to's

it's a shame to have this board and not install a vanilla system...

[idjego]

Please Recom, can you help me??

MOBO: GA EP45-DS3

CPU: intel E7300

GFX: NE8600GT

Memory: 2x2GB DDR2 800

 

When I install Leopard, in preferences, I do not know who put kenerl not know who put chipset

[damarsman]

This same board is coming in the mail for me. What's the advantage of doing the retail method verses just using the iDeneb?

[indraganzo]

Damarsman,

I would say Ideneb is useful if you have an AMD Mobo but a the end of the day it is a modified OSX release ..if you have an intel core motherboard retail is the way to go... Retail Install uses the Vanilla Kernel from Apple so simply it is more compatible

Installing from the retail DVD image and changing only a few kexts is as close as you get to a real mac..

The problem with the retail DVD is if you don't have a installed Osx system on your machine it is harder to install, but if you already have a system it is much easier....

Thanks. I grabbed the EP45-DS3 boot132 ISO with all the kext others have been using. I'm going to try to install with that and the retail. After that I'm going to install chameleon and do my EFI strings for my graphics card. I hope that will work.

[idjego]

Are you sure that the motherboard ep45-ds3 works with boot132?

If what you get, as you can tell it??

You can pick usb drive from bios , I see no reason that ep45 series wouldn't work using Boot 132 method....
