Woolnoir Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi All, I wanted to make a post regarding my experiences of installing IPC OSx86 on my system, mainly because during the process i found certain areas of the installation to be a little sketchy. Unlike my normal way of doing things i wanted to return my experiences, hopefully to help others in the same situation. I made a blog post ( http://wooliethinking.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/its-alive/ ) - but i wanted to post it on here too since i got the bulk of my information from these forums. So to keep this as simple as possible, my hardware is Intel Quad Core Q6600 (Overclocked to 3.5 Ghz ) Abit IP35 Pro (p35 chipset - so far so good) 4 gig of PC6400 ram Gigabyte 8800GT GFX Card Various Spare HD’s Hanns.G 28inch SCreen. The installation itself was exceptionally simple - the bios pre-requisites are :- 1) Floppy Drive Controller - OFF 2) Serial and printer ports - OFF 3) SATA Mode - SATA/IDE 4) Jmicron Controller - OFF Installation Instructions Step 1 : Insert the IPC CD and boot - enter disk utility and create the desired number of partitions. Format them to be Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) and return to the installation once completed. Step 2 : Choose the installation drive and select customise at the first opportunity. Step 3 : Once you arrive @ (http://######.com/ipcosx86/?page_id=96 ) select the following 1) NVDarwin 512MB, 2) ALC888 sound card, 3) ICHX Chipset Drivers , 4) you dont at this stage need to select any network drivers as the default ones seemed to work. Step 4 : Proceed with the installation and it 'should' in theory complete without any problems. I know this is a fairly simple 'guide' if it even qualifies as that, but it should serve as a confirmation to people with the same hardware that everything works without issues. Note 1 : There is a pause on initial boot (with waiting for boot device) this does pass after 1 minute or so Note 2 : The NVInject drivers resulted in a black screen for me so i used NVDarwin. Other than that - go wild and BUY A LICENSE. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163492-ipc-osx-1056-abit-ip35-pro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
