PaneTrez Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've scoured the forums here a bit but I can't seem to find a tutorial for the MSI x58 Pro w/ Intel Core i7 920. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this build possible? Thanks!

poophead Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I've got the same problem with my MSI X58 Platinum SLI. It panics with Voodoo kernel 9.5 and the 9.7 kernel Mercurysquad of the Voodoo dev team recommends as a stopgap until Voodoo V2 is released. Trying to run my previously fine OS X 10.5.6 install inside of VMware produces a "Virtual Machine kernel stack fault". I can get the XXX 10.5.6 distro to boot by using the boot arguments "-x busratio=20". I guess I will attempt to create a parallel installation and see if that will install and boot up afterwards. If this is successful I will try to determine the differences between this installation and my previous 10.5.6 installation which was created using iDeneb 10.5.6. My previous hardware setup was a Opteron 165 on a DFI Lanparty UT. My current setup is a MSI Platinum SLI with a 920 i7 CPU with the harddrives running in AHCI mode. The video card in both instances is an MSI Geforce 9500.
