RyRy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Nah mate i'm stuck in the same point sometimes I get a error message when I try other installs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurogin Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 After you install, make sure to boot with flag -f on the first time. If it still doesn't work, you can try a safe boot (-x) or do a verbose boot (-v). Just try different sets of flags, I got it to work on the first boot with -v -f -x, then I used -v -f, because couldn't finish setup in safe boot mode, now I just boot normally. If you get the kernel panic, reinstall it with a different set patches. The patches require a bit of trial and error if you don't know entirely what you are doing.

You most likely need a modded BIOS...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 thanx verdant but cant a modded bios be harmful if it Fu*ks up not to be negative but if thier are any other ways i can do this with out messing with my bios i love to know but thank you very very much i will honestly try your method i could not find a modded bios to match my bord so guess my quest will on You could email OriginalMACNUT to ask him to mod your BIOS......

verdant Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 could the fact i have been trying to install mac on an old ide drive effect the out come of it working or not and dose any know here i can get ati hd radeon 4650 drivers for mac It all depends on the BIOS and its settings for CPU, SATA and IDE parameters, plus how IDE devices are jumpered and connected........I hope not with your updated BIOS but the possibility still there that you may need a modded BIOS or need a DSDT.aml patch in boot file..... As for your GFX card driver......I would first focus on getting OS X running OK using onbard framebuffer in Vesa 3.0 mode.....you can sort out video driver later......

verdant Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i filled out a thing on that web site for a modded bios not heard any thing and as to this dsdt.aml i feel stupid asking but how would i go about doing something like that I pulled this from my nForce threads' post #1 for you: HELP FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING ACPI-APIC and/or BIOS PROBLEMS (e.g. always needing to use the cpus=1 boot flag) If your System Hangs after Boot Screen Message: "Mac framework successfully initialized Using XXXX buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" where XXXX may be 16384, 14805, 10485, 5242 typically...... XXXX Number Explanation: 16384 is reported to indicate ≥ 4GB RAM 14805 is reported to indicate 2GB RAM The Error Cause may be: ACPIPlatform.kext and/or AppleAPIC.kext and/or IOACPIFamily.kext The Error Solution may be: Replace ACPIPlatform.kext and/or AppleAPIC.kext and/or IOACPIFamily.kext with compatible version(s); generally found in older distros...…or as an "ACPI Fix" or "ACPI-APIC Old" or similar in recent distros..... HOWEVER, if different versions of these kexts do not resolve the error, then you may need a modified-DSDT BIOS……this is because the DSDT is a part of the ACPI subsystem. ACPI is the acronym for Advanced Configuration & Power Interface. The ACPI interface has been around since 1999 and used on the majority of i386 and x86_64 systems since then. ACPI is an abstraction level that is interfaced between the OS and the platform firmware and hardware. This abstraction layer's, i.e. ACPI's purpose is to hide differences in the platform firmware and/or hardware from most of the operating system kernel codebase, in order that most of the kernel codebase does not have to be changed for the OS to run on systems with different hardware and/or firmware. Thus, OS and the platform can evolve independently so that a new OS should be able to run on old hardware, while an older OS should be able to run on new hardware.DSDT is an acronym for Differentiated System Description Table. The DSDT contains the Differentiated Definition Block, which supplies the information and configuration information about the base system. It is always incorporated in the ACPI Namespace by the OS at bootup. However, it is sad fact that a number of MOBO manufacturers do not seem able to provide fully functional DSDTs as part of their MOBOs' BIOS. For example, MSI MOBOs often need a DSDT string-modded BIOS.....read this thread.....and see here......Kabyl may be able to help you.....BUT also see OriginalMACNUT's OSXCORES......e.g. MSI P7N nForce 750i SLI Platinum......also see fassl's DSDT Patcher.......using mackerintel's Chameleon with DSDT Override bootloader......as well as koalala's ACPI (DSDT) Patcher for BIOS and AML, CPU Cores, HPET, RTC, TM, GFX......

OriginalMACNUT Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Link your Bios, I'll take look at it. About the e-mail, they all go to a junk folder now, to many to respond to at this point. Best bet is to hit me up on My DSDT Forum or here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
