2fast4all Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi, im trying to install ideneb 10.5.4 on my quad core system but can never get to a setup screen. I have tried cpus=1 maxmem=3072, 2048, and 4096 -v, -v -x, i have enabled the other options in the bios enable SATA (eventhough im using a IDE HDD at the moment). My DVD burner is also IDE. Here is a screenshot of what I get after booting with those commands. http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08444/pg4_0021860.jpg. Some help would be nice. My hardware: q6600 2.4ghz stock OCZ DDR2 4GB 2x2gb ECS 7100/7050PVT-M3 with nforce 630i chipset radeon hd 3870 80gb IDE HDD maxtor (temp hdd atm) 500W cooler master PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz_mitch Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey mate. Good luck getting it up and running - I've just got my nForce 680i going and it's great! Verdant helped me over here in his Pre-series 7 nForce thread, so I recommend you post there. Have a look through too, there's a lot of information that might help you out also!

2fast4all Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 So its been a while, I set this project aside for a bit. Ive never got osx to run on my quad core system, so now Ive installed it on a spare system. Installed fine, no problems but after the installation Ive rebooted, it shows the boot loader and its goes into a infinite reboot. Does anyone know how to fix it? I really don't want to install again, takes a lot long than windows....... specs: P4 2.4ghz no HT 2gb ram ddr asus p4800d-x mobo 80gb hdd geforce 4mx ^surprisingly it works on 6 year old hardware and not current stuff that I have thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondosan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 i have the same mainboard. CPU is a E1400 dual core celeron with 2ghz. got it running with iAtkos_5i, but only with one core active. i am using the onboard geforce and it works great out of the box (even though installation took over 2,5 hours). the only thing i had to install was the kext for sound (which can be found here). After setting AHCI in the bios even the Sata drives were mounted (all 4 running nicely in a software raid 5) good luck with you system! hondosan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
