AMD 780g/9800gtx+ Driver Help

[jarrhed]

I recently tried iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 and installed it successfully on my new Asrock 790gxe/128m (AMD 780g Chipset SB700 Southerbridge) and first it failed. Then I used my sisters computer to install and it worked but the booting and loading was very slow. I believe the 9800gtx+ video card drivers or the chipset drivers are the problem. I tried using an alternative and one deleted the boot.plist file and then I used the nvdarwin 512mb and that did not work altogether.

 

I have also tried using the fix by nicholasblocks (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t129235.html) and it has a Still Waiting for Root Device error. I am almost ready to give up on this but if anyone would mind helping me out, much appreciated.

Reinstall it however you had it to where it was booting but very slowly. The slow booting is likely caused by that darned SB700 southbridge judging by what you've described. OS X out of the box of an average Hack disc will fail to recognize it, and if by a miracle it does install, it uses a generic kext that permits your hard drive to read and write at a blazingly fast 3 MB/s. That'll put a crimp in your (Hack's) side in the way of performance, especially if your computer is lacking in RAM and trying to put out QE for your video card (which arguably means more data-swapping, which means more hard drive use...you get the picture).

Once you get it in an operating condition (slow-as-molasses is better than nothing), THEN install the kexts you linked to in your post and they should help with the boot time.

Good luck.

I have already tried that but after I did it had a Still Waiting for Root Device... Error but I think that was due to me installing it with AHCI and it said IDE
