m82a1 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 dont tell me u are using that x48 board JUST for a mac, cuz that would be really pointless, its like a $300 board i think. another thing, that video card is GREAT but, there are no mac drivers for it since mac doesnt yet carry them in their desktops, so ur stuck at 1024 x 768 without QE and CI, just like i am with my 4850 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133453-x48t-dq6/#findComment-945881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

m82a1 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Still waiting for root device = set ur ide hdd to the 1st ide channel and the jumper to master Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort. = enable AHCI in the bios, but if it was not already turned on when u installed vista, u'll get a bsod "not_bootable_device" or something like that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133453-x48t-dq6/#findComment-946209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yousef Hanoun Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 thanks, but i have enabled AHCI for the SATA2 HDD 1TB and vista is working on it and i am getting this error Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort Still waiting for root device then i have used a 80 HDD IED and turn off AHCI in bios then it worked. so OSX maybe is not supporting SATA2 on X48T-DQ6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133453-x48t-dq6/#findComment-946461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
