djgizmo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ok, let me preface this that I've searched and searched for answers, yet I haven't been able to solve some of my problems. Now that preface is done, the REASON for my project is to run Logic Studio on my equipment. I am attending an audio school which is pro mac etc and I need logic at home without spending $1700+$500 for Logic on an imac. Yes, I did purchase a license for both Logic and Leopard before starting this project as I wanted to be as legit as OSX86 possible. First my hardware: Abit IP35 (plain, non pro, non -E... basically the same as a -E except it has ICH9R like the pro) Intel q6600 @ 3.0Ghz 4GB of Mushkin DDR800 Ram PS2 Keyboard / USB Mouse 5 Hardrives (2x 640gb for Raid 0 for my XP Install, 1x80GB for OSX, 2 other harddrives for data storage) 2 DVD Drives on IDE on jmicron Things I've tried and learned... I am ONLY able to successfully install Kalyway's 10.5.2 w/ the jmicron patch. All other installs finish install but will not boot. Currently, everytime I try to patch the kernal using preset kernal patches, I am unable to boot even in -v -x mode. Which makes me revert back to installing OSX from scratch. Even if I try iDenab 10.5.5 I cannot boot into OSX (get the 0 with the slash through it) I have been able to install chain0 and it does detect my OSX partition. Question #1 - Does anyone have OSX drivers for ICHR9 Raid? I'd like to install OSX on a partition on my raid. Reason: a partition on my raid would boot up faster and have plenty of space. Issue #1 - no usb drives seems to be detected when attached. (however my mouse works, go figure), what are some ideas I can try? This is my top issue as I can not get time machine to work without it. Issue #2 - I am unable to consistantly boot into OSX. I'd say I have to reboot about 5 times before OSX will start to boot. Most of the time it'll just hang at the gray apple screen with no moving cursor / pinwheel. Has anyone has such problems before? I feel like I'm hitting such a brick wall with these things it's nearly impossible to troublshoot. Please help if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_2k Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Issue #1 - no usb drives seems to be detected when attached. (however my mouse works, go figure), what are some ideas I can try? This is my top issue as I can not get time machine to work without it. This is usually caused by a version mismatch between the kernel and the system.kext file.
