So I've got a brand new system and I'm doing my first OSX86 installation and looking for some help.

 

My system

 

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R

Intel i7 920

6GB G.skill @ 1600MHz

Nvidia GTX 280

 

If I follow the instructions in this thread, will it work on my system? I've read that the GTX 280 is not supported. Is that true? If it is possible to get it to work, which kext driver do I use from the iATKOS 5i disc? Even if I don't have full support for my video card, as long as there is a kext that'll make it run in the mean time I'll be okay with that.

 

I read VESA support is possible for this card. Can anyone explain how to get it working with VESA mode (in as noob steps as you can).

 

And from the instructions I am confused on a couple things

 

He says install the following drivers:

 

"Intel ICH AHCI" and "Jmicron IDE"

 

My disc has "Intel AHCI SATA" and "jMicron". In the description of jMicron, it says "jMicronATA.kext - jMicron controller support". I don't see anything about IDE. None of those match up word for word of what he said so I was wondering if those are right.

 

Also, not sure how to install Vanilla kernals or what that means. I need to know exactly which stuff to check off in the custom screen. Everything. I tried doing it to the best I could with the guide in that thread, but when I booted up, it got stuck at like "Waiting for Master Disc" and it kept repeating every 10 seconds.

 

Thanks for the help, guys! This forum is awesome.
