Twenty-Two Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Howdy everybody, I am trying to install Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 (iDeneb distribution) on my computer, my computer has the follow hardware specifications: - Motherboard: ASUS Yale 1.xx - Chipset: Intel i865P/PE/G/i848P - Southbrige: Intel 82801EB (ICH5) - Memory: 1024 MB (1.00 GB) - Harddisk: 80 GB (1 Windows partition, 15 GB, 1 unlocated partition (=af) 55 GB). - Graphics card: nVidia Geforce 5500 FX (256 MB) I tried JaS 10.4.8 and installed that successfully, but when I updated within Software Update from Apple, my computer did not restart in Mac OS X when I rebooted after the successful update to 10.4.11. At the iDeneb distribution I get the follow error messages: AppleIntelPiixATA: 80-conductor cable not detected on primary channelUSBF: 1.273 EHCI controller unable to take control from bios USBF: 1.274 AppleUSBEHCI[0x28B100]: unable to obtain ownership: 0xe00002be USBF: 1.276 AppleUSBEHCI[0x28B100]::UIMInitialize - Error occurred (0xe00002be) USBF: 1.279 AppleUSBEHCI: unable to initialize UIM RTL8193::FixEnetFlowControl - Folow Control is disabled Still waiting for root device BSD root: disk1s2, major 14, minor 5 localhost diskarbitration[44]: CoreRAIDServer[43]:17155 not responding localhost localhost diskarbitrationd44: unable to mount /dev/disk0s1 (status code 0x00000047). What are these errors? Can I solve it to install Leopard on my computer? Thank you for your time and hopefully your response.

Twenty-Two Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I managed to install iDeneb, don’t ask me how I did it but I waited a long time for the installer to come up, the first install went very strange with no keyboard (USB) but with mouse (USB) but very slowly when I moving the mouse around, the installer went fast and when I rebooted the bootloader came up with no errors but stood still constanly on “Still waiting for root device” for 2 hours. I tried every boot option from -v -x to -f to cpus=1 or platform=Acpi|x86pc or rd=disk0s1. Or all toghter, but nothing happend and the same result. I choosed to reinstall, this time the mouse was fast but no keyboard. I formatted the disk agian and installed and the same message came up "Still waiting". What could I do to boot correctly to Mac OS X? My harddisk is by the way IDE. Nothing SCSI or RAID or anything nasty. Is it possible to install only iDeneb and the kernel. Audio and some fixes. and should Jmicron patch work for IDE? Or what fix would help start up Mac OS X correctly, I assume that if the installer works correctly after the second time, the installed version should boot olso without errors? I am very sorry for the long topics and I hope someone really knows a answer.

I am very sorry for the long topics and I hope someone really knows a answer. I hope someone has the answer too, because every thread I've read, anyone who has an IDE drive runs into a problem. Surely someone knows how to install iDeneb on an IDE drive, because not everybody has [or wants to use] SATA. I'm stuck with IDE, and I don't really intend on upgrading my motherboard when it's in wonderful condition, just for a SATA drive that I don't really need yet. What plug-ins/patches are necessary for IDE? Come on, help us out.

Never Mind Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey guys, What worked for me for IDE is a plugin kext called "AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext" which should be located in: /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns Do you have that plugin there? It should be on the DVD. Let me know if that worked. Regards, N.M. I hope someone has the answer too, because every thread I've read, anyone who has an IDE drive runs into a problem.
