Shanems3 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Edit: any install disk will work fine, But the ACPI-Fix must be applied, and ACPI APIC must be disabled with ACPI 2.0 Enabled. All other settings can be left alone. See last post for Pictures!!!

Shanems3 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Tried Ideneb 10.5.5, same story.. Has anyone got any idea?? Sata is set to ACHI... Installs fine, with no problems. Chipset is Seaburg 5400 with a SB Intel® ESB2E ICH This chipset does work because people have gotten the Intel Skulltrail board to work.. this just has me for a loop... After alot of reading, it seems to be a AppleACPI.kext problem.. gonna have to go check bios, i know i have it disabled... Edit Was a ACPI Problem see first post Just to rap it up, Ethernet works out of box, Sound works with 888 Kext Video will work when i put the right kext in. 8GB of ram shows fine, Processor shows up fine, except i am overclocked and it shows the standard speed not the speed i am actually at. All in all, after the problem was fixed.. damn it was worth it. This thing is a beast!!! Asus_z7s_ws.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
