Asus P5Q-EM - Leopard DVD retail install using boot132 dfe

[rick01]

Hi all,

 

 

I'm at a lost here. I tried to install retail leopard 10.5 DVD using custom BOOT132. After the customary DVD swap, the system was able to boot the retail DVD but stops at the dreaded:

MAC Initialized..

IO Buffers .....

 

Do I need to add additional KEXT i.e. ICH10R etc. on the custom boot132 as well as modify my retail (using a disk image copy)? I've tried to install with options including disabling bios settings i.e. FIREWIRE, AHCI as well as by supplying the -v cpus=1 argument on the boot prompt to no avail.

 

 

Here's my specs below:

 

Asus (P45 chipset) P5Q-EM, ATI 3870HD, 4GB, (1)SATA DVD, (1) SATA HD.

BIOS: Using modded bios (1406 DSDT ) from xxx.osxcores.site50.net

System was previously configured with ideneb 10.5.5 and iPC x86 10.5.6

 

 

Thanks in advance,

rick
