kszo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, I got a GA-EG45M-DS2H mobo with the G45 Chip. Can't install the Kalyway 10.5.2. I just got the "Still waiting for root device". I did all platform=X86PC -v -x -v rd=disk0s0 -v -f -v platform=ACPI -1 Is the G45Chip? I tried the HD as IDE, Native, and AHCI. What I'm missing?

tokyo2 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, I just installed 10.5.5 on the GA-EG45M-DS2H. With this mother board you need to connect both DVD and HD to SATA, not IDE. Moreover you need to select AHCI from the BIOS. The only thing that I'm not able to install is the video card. Does anybody know something about the X4500 ? It only runs at 800x600. If I could at least increase the resolution...

kszo Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thank you. I just got a new video card HD3870. I had this working on another PC with OSX so I know that this would work. I can't find a S-ATA DVD (Not buying a new on just for install the OS) but I got an old 40G IDE HDD. Probable this would work...

kszo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 The IDE HDD didn't work... Just tried with OSX 10.5.5 iDeneb. So it must be S-ATA DVD drive and S-ATA HDD to work... Plus set it on AHCI. For that I need to reinstall my Windows so it would take some time...
