treephrog Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hello all, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but if so, I have been unable to find it in about two weeks' worth of searching... Specs: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 Motherboard w/ AMD690V chipset AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 2 x 1 GB Corsair DDR2 RAM LG SATA DVD Writer Drive 500 GB Seagate SATA hard drive w/ 32 MB cache eVGA GeForce 8500 GT w/ 512 MB RAM Install Settings (these are from memory, sorry if I leave something out, or aren't specific enough): Remove all language packs 9.2.0 Kernel NVInject/NVKush Generic Chipset Option AC97 and Azalia audio RT8189 LAN Driver Issues, in order of severity, worst to least: Cannot reboot without install DVD in the drive (Startup Disk issue?) No Audio Video card is recognized, but shows as 256 MB The issue of not being able to reboot without the DVD in the drive is probably related to the installer not picking up the har drive as the startup disk. I believe that, normally (i.e. on a Mac), the installer will automatically set the startup disk to the disk that OS X was installed on (having experimented on my eMac). Since this is not a Mac, you have to manually set the startup disk. That's okay, I get that. But my hard drive does not show up in the Startup Disk utility in the installer, or within Mac OS. I have tried erasing and partitioning several times, no luck. Hard drive is currently named "MacHD", before anyone asks if there's a space in the name . I simply have no idea how to make the installer or the OS recognize the hard drive so it will show up in the Startup Disk utility. I did see some command line stuff somewhere that I tried from Terminal (startupfiletool, etc.), and while the commands went through fine, when I went pack into Disk Utility and did a Verify Disk, it told me there were errors. So, I did a Repair Disk... it corrected the problems. Tried the command line options again, triple checked that I was typing them correctly... same thing, commands go through successfully, back to Disk Utility, Verify Disk, errors. The issue of no audio is somewhat bothersome, but not a dealbreaker. I would like to have audio, but most of what I'm doing is photo editing and printing, so it's not the end of the world. But I'd still like to crank some tunes while editing! I figure this is simply a driver issue, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it... I could care less about the RAM reported on the video card, it's just an irksome issue that I'd like to fix because a) I'd like to know how to fix it, and it's a "fly in the ointment"; the rest of the install is darn near perfect, so I'd like to correct this minor issue if possible. I think that's everything, if you need more info, or more specifics, let me know and I'll find out and post it. This is so close to being a perfect install, help me out if you can people!
