coolken84 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I am currently on my 6th install of this due to black screens and kernel panics. My Specs: Asus p5k Mainboard Core2 Duo E8400 4 Gigs DDr2 800 ATI HD3870 x2 HP IDE DL DVD Writer 3 Drives 4 Partitions- all sata 3.0 200Gb Drive (Vista Premium 32 SP1) 250Gb Drive (Win XP SP3) 750Gb Drive 250Gb Partition (OSx) 400Gb (Data) Running Acronis OS selector in a tri boot setup - mac os totally seperate from windows bootloader. I install iDeneb 10.5.5 and use all of the settings I have seen in other posts for a p35 board, and I have not successfully booted into the os. Black Screened on latest install - rebooted & went -v on restart - got this screen: I think I'm close, but something is wrecking things - I have a hunch it has to do with the apple power management, but I'm a noob -w- this and need some guidance. Anyone have any Ideas?? Thanks in Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Rho Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 what chipset drivers did you select in ideneb? iCHx? it looks like you selected the stagexnu kernel. have you tried to select other kernels? tell us the customization options so we can help you further.

Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 With your motherboard and iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 must select: In power managmentt S3 pos activated In BIOS ACPI Activated In Ideneb installation: Language: only your language Chipset: ICHX fixed + Jmicron AppleSMBIOS: 800 Audio: Alc883 Kernel: Nothing (default vanilla 9.5 OK with your hardware); Video: nothing (you'll install video kexts later) LAN: AttansicL1 Application: All If don't works the problem is an incorrect bios configuration (Cpuid, etc) Giorgio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolken84 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well I tried your settings exactly as you laid them out. Getting the black screen & when I go -v at boot I see a cpu panic error. The bios on my board is the most current one for it amibios v02.61 everything in bios at defaults except what you recommended changing. I apologize for being dense on this, but I'm not too swift with linux and all the associated lingo. I'm just playing with this - kind of a if it can be done I want to try it...

coolken84 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well I'm about ready to give up installing iDeneb 1.3 on this p5k - I can't seem to find a configuration that works. I have tried many different install configs and bios setups and all end in the black screen after post install reboot. Anybody have the correct bios setings/customization options for the Asus p5k (no e, se, deluxe, pro, wi-fi, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubi Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 why not try retail install? Ive done retail leopard with bot 132 on my p5k delux, and everything is working fine ( ethernet, sound, usb, graphics with QE ) .. even update to 10.5.5 without any problems. Only thing thats not really working is the on board wifi, not really sure how to setup onboard wifi. give the retail install a try, it should work just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolken84 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 So my best course of action would be to buy a retail copy and use that to install? Is that what you're saying? And what is bot132? forgive me, I'm new to this, and not totally without a clue - just not up to speed on the terminology of the osx86 crowd. Thanks!

coolken84 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well, Has anyone successfully installed OSx on the plain old p5k? If so what distro, and what settings? About to lose my mind - have installed probably 20 tim2s -w- different customization/bios options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballsmag Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I had a perfect working install using Kalyway 10.5.1 (upgraded to 10.5.5) until I completely destroyed it with a botched upgrade to 10.5.6, so it definitely is possible. I've not figured out the right settings for iDeneb 1.3 yet. If you want a nice guide, check out this thread: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?...p;sk=t&sd=a It was invaluable for me when I first started.

ballsmag Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I just got iDeneb booted on my P5K. The important thing is to delete AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement.kext. I used the Vanilla kernel, AppleSMBios 800, ICHx and JMicron patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
