Hey, I've got a vaguely similar setup and i've been trying to do the same thing all day too!

 

Motherboard: MSI K9N SLI Diamond AM2 nForce 590 SLI SATA II DDR2 PCI-E [MSI-K9NSD]

Chipset | North Bridge: NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Chipset | South Bridge: NVIDIA MCP55PXE

Processor: AMD X2 Dual Core AM2 Athlon 64 6000 3.0GHz 2x1MB Socket AM2 [AMD-X2M260]

Graphics: BFG GeForce 8600GT OC 256MB DDR3 SLI PCI-E Dual DVI, TVO [bFG-86GT]

Memory: Corsair XMS6400 2GB DDR2 (2x1GB) 800Mhz Non-ECC [CSR-X642G5]

 

What have you tried? I wonder if you've missed clicking "Customize", because, that's where I found the NVIDIA chipset stuff.. not sure if it's right though!

 

I've got the iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 PPF5 Final DVD, and i've managed to get all the way through the install, up until it has to restart. At that point, it crashes.. I have tried the following selection:

Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel | NVinject 0.2.1 512MB VRAM | AppleNForceATA nForce Driver | nForceLAN Driver | Patched USB Driver

... as well as many combinations of these features, including trying with none selected at all.

 

Each time, i'm confronted with the crash while it's restarting after successful installation.

 

Note: I have checked the install disk for consistency...

 

Can you tell us what you've tried, and perhaps we can work it out together!

i havnt tried any iPC yet im still "recieving" the dvd

i have completed the full install with iDeneb however when i restart i get a blue screen tried movevideodrivers etc not working.

i have got all the way through with zephyroth Leopard for AMD and i get a black sreen

atm i have just patched ideneb 10.5.5 for the nforce patch currently burning to disc

as soon as i get any results ill keep you informed

 

ill keep track of my install aswell

 

just tried the ideneb patched and nothing wont even boot to the installer

looks like im gonna have to wait it out till i recieve the iPC DVD

keep me posted if you get any further

Bad luck dude, cheers for letting me know, and yeah i'll keep you updated! Not sure what else I should try though!

 

( going to try changing video drivers from NVinject to NVdarwin... )

[Squiddz]

Well, i just tried the following:

 

[Kernel] 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel

[Drivers | Video Drivers | NVIDIA] NVdarwin 512MB

[Drivers | Chipset Drivers] AppleNForceATA nForce Drivers

[Drivers | Audio Drivers | Other Audio Drivers] kXAudioDriver

 

... and got the exact same error message:

 

 

Any ideas, anyone?!

[viper1402]

finally got it to boot

used voodoo kernal

AppleNForceATA nForce Drivers

ALC883 audio

single CPU fix

Seatbelt.kext

and ATI HD3870(aMD)

 

all boots however cant get network to run properly did install network driver aswell

its got the green light next to the ethernet but wont open any internet pages

any ideas ?

[MGJulius]

Go to system preferences > network and see if it's functioning properly

[viper1402]

Go to system preferences > network and see if it's functioning properly

 

what should it look like if its functioning properly

i have a green light next to Ethernet and the rest are red

and i am trying to connect through Ethernet

but when i click on it it says "ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect"

however the status is "Connected"

im using a NTL Broadband passing through a router any ideas what my settings should be

obviously IP address Etc will be different

thanks

[Squiddz]

...finally got it to boot...

 

Nice one! I actually did too! It turned out my problem was simply that i was using it on a partition, and hadn't properly formatted the whole disk, so i did that and it just booted.

 

Now, i just need to fiddle with installation options and drivers etc, until the audio, video and ethernet drivers work! Wireless apparently works out of the box!

 

..Then i'll need to learn how to use a mac!

 

...when i click on it it says "ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect"...

 

Is it set to DHCP then? It might be an idea to change it to manual settings, and tell it the gateway address of your router, that is, 192.168.1.1 or similar, and make up an IP for your computer like 192.168.1.9, just make sure it isn't used by another computer! In fact, you might be best off copying all the settings from a working computer on the same network, like - presumably - the one you're using now... all settings apart from changing the last number in the IP address...

 

Apologies if that's obvious to you, but maybe you hadn't thought of it yet? Let us know what difference it makes.
