Shuttle SB83G5

[bubbageek75]

I have installed OS X x86 on my Shuttle SB83G5 XPC with great success. I booted from the patched DVD and installed directly to my 80 GB Maxtor SATA HD. I am using a D-link 10/100 ethernet card (Realtek 8139) because the onboard Marvell 10/100/1000 is not compatible. That is the only hardware I had to change.

 

System Specs:

 

Shuttle SB83G5 XPC

Intel P4 541 EM64T with Hyperthreading - 3.2 GHz

1 GB Patriot DDR400 Memory

80 GB Maxtor SATA HD - OS X

Congrats Bubbageek.

 

Does your audio work? I have the same onboard chip (but totally different motherboard, etc.) and no sound at all. I've looked in the Audio help and it only seems to work for NVIDIA boards.

Which version did you used? Was it the Apple OS X x86 Developer Kit Install DVD Deadmoo?

All you have to do to get the audio working is the following:

 

Boot into OS X

insert Darwin 8.0.1 install cd

open a terminal window

type the following:

sudo passwd root

enter password

This will enable the root account

su

enter root password you just set

"cp /Volumes/Darwin8_i386/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext /Volumes/YourHDName/System/Library/Extentions/AppleAC97Audio.kext"

Exit Terminal App and reboot

Audio should work at that point

I used the Marklar-Tiger.dmg DVD converted to an ISO using UltraISO and then patched with the following patch: Generic_OSx86_Install_DVD_Patcher_test3
