kaluce Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 So, I kinda shoehorned enough software onto OSX for it to boot properly. Defying what people said couldn't be done, I installed the Ralink network driver for the pci based 2500 card*, I managed to install forcedeth, which on an nForce 5 chipset produces a link status unknown but it does recognize what it is my audio isn't supported, but i wasn't expecting a creative labs audigy card to be supported anyway. at first i tried iDeneb, but it just didn't want to work properly so i grabbed this install. it includes a metric ton of software but. . . Here is the problem. occasionally, the computer seems to crash, no black screen of death though, gets to the gui and then crashes with a blank blue screen. Edit: this doesn't seem to happen anymore after i installed the usb and pci stuff, i also swapped to nvinject, and it seems to work better. From time to time my keyboard and/or mouse locks up, these are on usb, and i have to unplug and replug them, is there any fix for this? Edit: Installed the USB and PCI driver kexts and this problem stopped, this also caught some other bugs, and the Firewire issues were fixed So, here are my stats Kernel: Voodoo XNU 10.0.5 (10.5.5) Motherboard: evga 570i sli ftw CPU: Intel Xeon cpu @ 3.0ghz SSE2/SSE3 Chipset: Nforce 570 PATA: Working SATA: Somewhat working? seems to only work some of the time, havent tried R/W actions Net: Somewhat working, the link status cant be determined, so it cant connect, if this were fixed, it'd probably work though audio: Intel Azalta HD ACL 880 recognized and works. Wireless: Ralink 2500 based PCI card. After installing the driver, i promptly kernel panicked on XNU Voodoo and got a core dump, sadly, i forgot to save it, cause my video went down, so well, nothing i can really do about it. moving along Graphics: nVidia 8800GT 512mb installed using nvkush after installation due to someone saying that was the way to go, well, it kinda bugged out my display, so just install nvkush during the install the first time would have prevented this issue. as for my lspci stats for some of the hardware, which might be useful to some: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:03bc] (rev a1) IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE [10de:0265] nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller [10de:0266] nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller [10de:0269] (rev a3) VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0611] (rev a2) Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) [104c:8023] RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI [1814:0201] (rev 01) Creative Labs SB Audigy [1102:0004] (rev 04) *(the driver pack for the ralink was named was STA_CardbusPCI-D1.0.4.0 UI-1.3.0.0 it only includes drivers for 10.4, but somehow it works with 10.5 enough for me to type this) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/152100-xxx-1056-install-with-nforce-5-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
