mikeh420 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've tried installing several versions of osx86, most reboot before going into 80x132 (?) mode, and with the Leo4AllV3 10.5.2 I get as far as "waiting for boot vol with uuid..." then it halts. I have: Biostar G31-M7 TE M/B with Intel G31/ICH7 chipset and Pentium Dual Core E5200 2 GB PC6400 RAM Seagate 500GB SATA Samsung DVDR IDE Intel® 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA Storage Controller I am using cpus=1 -v at the command line. I have also tried V1, 2, and 3 of ACPI in BIOS settings I had 10.4.6 running on my previous system with a P4/Celeron, just no USB, so I am hoping this newer M/B will fare a little better. Any tricks or hints appreciated. Thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh420 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 I disabled Legacy USB support in the BIOS and installed and got as far as the gray Apple screen, without a spinning disk or mouse cursor. Getting closer. It has lots of choices for sound, video, etc. I'll have to find out exactly what I have. This time I'm using XxX 10.5.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I'm using XxX 10.5.6 I have had luck with this kext I guess it is the most recent ich ata driver, it was the only way i got mine to boot at all with a boot 1-3-2 cd. Hope it works for you too. You will still have to use cpus=1 though I haven't used the fix for that yet... I used SlimbuildGUI-1 to create the boot 1-3-2 cd it was really easy!

I guess I've been lucky, I've never had to deal with kernel exts. yet. How do I add this one? so far I've gotten to the gray Apple logo screen with a spinning wheel, in -v mode I get to "xxxx buffers and xxxx IO buffers" or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need os x installed somewhere already though. If not look at the boot 132 threads in this forum and download a recent iso that might have that same kext I attached on my last post. Here I have attached my boot 132 iso that I had luck with, just burn it on a cd and boot from it. After it is done loading insert your xxx osx install dvd, then press F8 then escape and then return. Your dvd should boot and you should be able to install it. Make sure you select the ichx drivers when you install it. Good luck.

gigathlete Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 after booting from the boot132 disk, it gave a message that it was missing a file. Push F8 and then press Escape. Then insert your installation dvd and type -v cpus=1 followed by enter. The installer should load after a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
