julesdu59 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi folks, I'd just like to share with you a successful install of iDeneb v1.3 (OS X 10.5.5). It was painful.... about 10 tries... many crashes... many night spent but huge satisfaction at the end. Here is my config : ASUS P4P800-E P4 3GHz Prescott with Hyperthreading AC97 onboard sound processor ATI Radeon 9250 Video Promise Fastrak 378 RAID 2 x 250 Gb HD Marvell Giga ethernet Successfull install process : iDeneb v1.3 DVD -> ok recognized video but not RAID config, therefore I choosed to install OS X on an external USB Hard drive. I customized the install as follows : - AC97 sound - Intel controller (ICHxxx one) - skgext for Marvell ethernet - 9.4.2 modified kernel (i got crashes with default vanilla kernel). With these parameters I've been able to run OSX, play sounds, surf the web and get basic video display (1024 x 768). Post install issues : - I installed beta Radeon9250.kext which eventually conflicted with ethernet connection (was always getting 169.xxx.x.x Ip address) => I definitely let this driver down and had to reinstall OS X again to get network back - To get higher video res, I installed callisto 0.8 kext, and modified Vendor ID / Device ID with Radeon 9250 value (DID :5940 VID:1002). I also modified in Info.plist the key "CallistoUseAltPLLMethod" from false to true. I now have a nice 10280 x 1080 res. - Last but not least, make it easier with the PC keyboard... and gain time looking for the @. The easiest solution I found is to install a Logitech control center package which make it possible to choose a Logitech french style keyboard. I'm currently browsing forums to see if i could make the RAID Fastrak promise work but with little conviction... I may finally get rid of my RAID config and make dual boot with XP Many thanks to all of you that contributed to this project. Hackingtosh newbee adage : "after a few installs (rarely less than ten), it may eventually fall into working order". Cheers !

osxhead Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 A successful install here too! Here are the specs: Intel DG33FB motherboard with Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6600. 4GB Ram. NVidia 8600GTX with Quartz Extreme enabled at 1650x1080. All SATA Drives (3 HD, 1 DVD+R/-R Burner). Used ACL88 series driver for onboard sound. Installed Clean out of the Box with just the Intel On Board network kext installed. Otherwise a Realtek based PCI network card was added until the kext was installed. This is with the iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 Intel/Amd distobution. Has run EVERYTHING so far. I turned off the updates, not sure if those will lock me up. Time machined back up succeeded. Good job. Only took 3 installs lol! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136457-successful-ideneb-v13-install-with-p4p800/#findComment-970238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-B. Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Are you sure that you used 9.4.2 kernel and not 4.2.2 one? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136457-successful-ideneb-v13-install-with-p4p800/#findComment-998260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
