BuddyRich Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Anyone try to install it on this MB/chipset yet? I have a SFF PC build using this MB on order and I am wondering what I need to do to get it to install. I have an early 2008 MBP and was hoping to use a retail install method, but I am thinking I would have better luck with the special 10.5.5 build that shipped with late 2008 Macbooks as it uses this chipset, but since thats not available I am thinking an older build with nforce.kext's?

neocui Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I tried to boot an existing install of leopard. Doesn't work. Resets right after boot loader. Old system was Intel G35 with GF7900.

MrKim Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tried on p5n7a-vm with ideneb 10.5.5.. installer would work once sata is set as AHCI... but I wasn't able to make it boot after that. It restarts itself at "starting darwin..." msg. tried to get to safe mode and single user mode but neither worked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134889-nvidia-730igeforce-9300-asus-p5n7a-vm/#findComment-962857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz101 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 install on USB disk,... install it on external USB disk, that should work,... (make shure, you make usb disk bootable,..) since the mobo bios, is broken, on the ahci ,... looks like no quick fix,..... thought , there might be a patch to run the sata native,... don't know where, have not tried it yet,... last resort, to put in a sata card, to run it off,......without ahci,.... also some ports behave different from others,...
