Mac OS X on SATA disc with ASUS K8N

[LikeM4C]

Hi there!

I'm puzzeling out days now how I could make my damn self made PC compatible with an OSx86 installation. I have a "Asus K8N-SLI Deluxe" Motherboard (newest BIOS), nForce 4 chipset with an AMD Athlon 3000+ processor (i know this pc is on the down-slide :-) but anyway...) and a "Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT", 128mb graphic card. RAM: 2x512mb.

The main Problem is: I have DVD drive at IDE but 4 hard discs at SATA! On the first SATA drive with 80GB, I want to install OS X. That means I cannot install the OS X on an IDE hard disc, only on SATA!

 

So I installed an "iPC 10.5.6" version with AMD/Intel support and SSE2/3. I used these packages in the Customize list:

graphic card: nvinject 0.2.1 128mb [think this works]

audio (built-in): AC'97 (for ALC850) [also think that works]

chipset: AppleNforce ATA (something like that)

ethernet: forcedeth [also think that works]

kernel: voodoo

 

So at the first run I tried it but the spin wheel rotates after restart with a stop sign (circle and diagonal line). So I tried everything also with boot switches -f -v,... did also many installations without and with the rest of the hard discs. I formatted the installation drive mostly non journaled but upper and lower case. And after everything I had a shot at this tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37238

After building this with a Mac OS X my PC still doesnt work. Also when I put again the rights for the files with an Ubuntu live CD. But I remarked: it is coming further. It is recognizing the installation hard disc now. But it still says "disk0s1: data underrun". It is also very weird that OS X suspends my 3 other hard discs when it boots up and afterwards turns them on again. Besides my bootloader is not working, I have to boot in with the DVD.

In many forums I have read that the K8N-SLI should be used with other releases. For example Zephyroths and iAktos. Is this working with these releases? What do you think is my problem. What is the missing clue here? Do you have any suggestions? Could anyone please help me.

 

I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
