robert_intel Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 evga nForce 790i SLI FTW with some bios changing options in it I got it too boot off of kalyway , but their seems to be some bugs, it will get past root device error but keyboard bug remains so far Kalyway-10.5.2 is their a easy way to post bios settings? from windows ? ok once I find a way to post my current settings I post it here , I need to find a way to fix that keyboard bug, I know its a bios setting I think since I did fix it once where it would type in the mac os x without a ps/2 patch I think ?? note that only the macokernel runs on install, the nforce one fails with a root device error but default kernel on kalyway will boot the following needs to be on ieee 1394 controller enabled Jmicron ahci (sata 7/8) enabled Jmicron AHCI (sata 9/10) enabled hd audio auto onboard fdc controller enabled under integrated peripherals are those settings and they do seem to effect the root device error dvd problem, if I turn on of those off it comes back with that waiting for root device . so I sumed it down to these things causing the problem here a bios template I fill in this temp later on BIOS Version: P0* **System ** CPU Freq, MHz: * GHZ FSB Reference Clock, MHz: **** CPU Multiplier: [*X] PCle x16-1 & 16-2, MHz: [100] PCle x16-3, MHz: [100] SPPc->MCP Ref Clock, MHz: [200] nForce SPP --> nForce MCP: [5X] nForce SPP c-- nForce MCP: [5X] **Spread Spectrum** CPU Spread Spectrum: [Disabled] HT Spread Spectrum: [Disabled] PCle Spread Spectrurn(SPP): [Disabled] PCle Spread Spectrurn(MCP): [Disabled] SATA Spread Spectrum: [Disabled] **FSB & Memorv Config** FSB - Memory Clock Mode: [unlinked] FSB - Memory Ratio: FSB (QDR), MHz: [****] Actual FSB (QDR), MHz: **** x MEM (DDR), MHz: **** Actual MEM (DDR), MHz: **** P1: [AUTO] P2: [AUTO] **Memory Timing Setting** Memory Timing Setting: [manual] tCL (CAS Latency): * tRCD: * tRP: * tRAS: * Command Per Clock: [*T] ** Advanced Memory Settings ** tRRD: [Auto] tRC: [Auto] tWR: [Auto] tWTR: [Auto] tFAW: [Auto] tREF: [Auto] **System Voltages** CPU Core: [*] CPU FSB: [*] Memory: [*] nForce SPP: [*] nForce MCP: [*] GTLVREF Lane 0: [Auto] GTLVREF Lane 1: [Auto] GTLVREF Lane 2: [Auto] GTLVREF Lane 3: [Auto] **CPU Configuration** Limit CPUlD Maxval: Disabled Intel Speedstep: Disabled xPPM Mode: [Native] CPU Thermal Control: [Disabled] C1E Enhanced Halt State: [Disabled] Execute Disable Bit: [Enabled] Virtualization Technology: [Disabled] CPU Core 0: [Enabled] CPU Core 1: [Enabled] CPU Core 2: [Enabled] CPU Core 3: [Enabled] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139807-evga-nforce-790i-sli-ftw-keyboard-bug-no-access-to-keys-problem-remains-for-now-untill-i-fingure-out-what-can-fix-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a USB keyboard and mouse it will cause you far fewer problems than a PS/2 keyboard and mouse......

robert_intel Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I use a usb mouse already one of the sidewider microsoft mouse and it works with this os, but the keyboard bug is annoying, I read their a fix for it , I think itkos 5i has the keyboard fix, I think thou that I was able to use this other one from the hd install , without the keyboard error, so maybe theirs a way to fix this without that problem it may just be in kalyway version has the bug only I think the other newer ones have a fix for it already also note I did not yet update the bios template it does, not have settings I am using under the bios yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139807-evga-nforce-790i-sli-ftw-keyboard-bug-no-access-to-keys-problem-remains-for-now-untill-i-fingure-out-what-can-fix-it/#findComment-990317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_intel Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 are you saying that the usb mouse causes the keyboard to not be used , etc.. a ps/2 mouse with this keyboard would work if only I don't use my usb mouse? also that root device error seems almost random since it is not detecting the dvd drive again for the install , I tryed that patch for nforce for kalyway 10.5.2 to get ride of the bug it seems to work since, but again I have not install it yet so I can't say ever thing will work I wanted to fix the keyboard problem before installing it , because seem to do some console stuff to get the linksys wireless working ,and need keyboard for wpa2 connection stuff too but in any case even if I get wireless and sound working, the 3D card will not work for a long time, until they get drivers for the bfg gefore 280 type cards 1gb etc.. plus I need to dual boot between windows and this on the same hard drive, only have one hd in this computer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139807-evga-nforce-790i-sli-ftw-keyboard-bug-no-access-to-keys-problem-remains-for-now-untill-i-fingure-out-what-can-fix-it/#findComment-991102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can run in VESA mode, i.e. with no video card driver installed.... For dual booting first try EasyBCD in Vista.....or chain0 or tboot in XP......
