TheRob Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I made a topic some months ago, but lately I've been trying this again, so here's a list of everything I know and don't know about OSX86 - I'm hoping this will become a definitive how-to guide for AMD (and specifically Asus Motherboard) people. - Okay, so first off, I have Kalyway 10.5.2 AMD/Intel burned to a DVD-RW. - I tried numerous installations previous, including iAtkos and Leo4All. - I also tried numerous boot locations, the two most important being both an internal and external DVD drive. - I have only a vague understanding of Kexts and Kernel modification - all the info I found on it seems to be aimed towards those already familiar with it. - As above, I think perhaps I need to modify a Kext (there is an ADD-KEXT-TO-DVD folder with Kalyway), but I don't know what I need or how to go about this. - Booting the DVD produces one of two errors, either "AppleNForceATA: Found 0 Units", or "Still Waiting For Root Device". I tried disabling SATA, switching to an IDE DVD drive, IDE HDD, and back to SATA. Nothing seems to work. And now my system specs: Asus M2n MX-SE Motherboard AMD Athlon X2 4800+ 250Gb SATA HDD External Samsung USB DVD drive Geforce 8600GT Many thanks in advance, hope we can get it going this time. Update! Upon reburning the DVD, I now an error that goes something like this: AppleNForceATA: Found 0 Units ApplePS2Keyboard: Probe Failed ApplePS2Mouse: Probe Failed AppleNForceATA: sata phy reset done Worth mentioning I'm using USB keybaord etc by the way.

TheRob Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Unfortunately, that guide is for a machine a bit too different to mine - I'm on SATA, not IDE. However, I DID boot using -v and got a new result. First, I got: AppleNForceATA: Found 1 Units Followed by about ten or so lines of errors. The biggest I saw were the following: Phy Connection Failed Unable to Take Control From BIOS AppleNForceATA: Found 0 Units And then, after a moment, Still Waiting for Root Device.

TheRob Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I don't think so. I disabled IDE altogether, and enabled ACPI special features, to no avail. Apparently, it was the "EHCI" that was Unable to Take Control From BIOS, if that's any help?
