riteshsg Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi, Ive been trying to get leopard on my Asus F8va for 2 weeks now but to no avail. Ive tried iAtkos v1.0i, iAtkos v5.0i, Kalyway 10.5.2 & iDeneb v1.4. 1)Kalyway & iAtkos v1.0i doesnt even boot into the installation even with -v,-x,-f, or cpus=1 2)iAtkos v5.0i able to go into the install but the install fails with the message "unable to validate contents of the 10.5.5.intel package" 3)iDeneb v1.4i This seems to be the most successful as I am able to get into the install without any flags.. I am also able to complete the installation but after the install, i cant boot into OSX, it gets stuck on the white apple logo on restart and it doesnt have the circle loading thingy. while reading the other forums, i find that perhaps my customize might be wrong so i played around with it but still get the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what custom settings i should use? 4)Here are my specs for the Asus F8va laptop: processor:Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 @2.53ghz chipset:Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M primary OS: Vista business 64bit ram:4GB DDR2 800 MHz SDRAM graphics: ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 3650, External 1024MB VRAM HD: SATA 320GB,5400rpm Optical drive: Optiarc BDROM, DVD Super Multi Double Layer Modem/Network Card: Integrated Intel® High Definition Audio chip ( Azalia) compliant MDC fax/modem and 10/100/1000 Base T Built-in Bluetooth™ V2.1+EDR (optional) Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5100 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166690-booting-error-with-ideneb-v14-on-asus-f8va/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rho Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I have an F8VA-B1 and I got OSX86 working on it last year, kind of. I forget exactly what I did, aside from installing, then using the DVD to copy some Tiger kexts over. I remember that in order to get it to boot, I had to specify cpus=1. Use -v when you start so you can see what causes the kernel panic. I hope that helps.
