Hi guys,

 

First of all, I am happy to join this community of os X lovers for x86. I really enjoy the "mac" world, my iphone is also the best mobile I've ever had. I'm in my late 20ies, well, at least for another year ;-)

I got a good experience in linux ( gentoo, debian ) and I work on linux embedded systems. I'm use to dealing with hardware compatibility issues etc...but I don't know a lot of things regarding the os X installation. By the way, I'm french, so please forgive my english.

 

Anyway, enough for the bla bla speech, let's go to the point. I got recently a pretty powerful configuration, a i7 with 6go of Corsair. I'd live to give a try to some photos and movies experience, and I think iMovie and iPhotos are my friends ( newbie at movies and photos ).

 

I got the v7 iAtkos, I set the "cpus=1 busratio=20" to boot the DVD, elsewhere it kept rebooting and rebooting. The installation went fine, I selected some packages for the customization part ( voodo 9.7, ACPI and ATI HD ).

 

When I try to boot my os X installation, i use the "-v -V _F cpus=1 busratio=20" command line, but it failed. A lot a log is displayed, then a tiny improvement of the display, still a lot of logs, and then some weird ACPI error messages. I'll get you these messages this evening.

 

As I read from uphuck, if the installation went fine, it's pretty sure that os x can run on my computer. I know that linux runs a virtual linux to install the one on your harddrive, I guess it's the same for os X. The point is :

 

- Did I miss some crucial package during the customization ?

- Do I need to change my boot options

- I don't give a damn to reinstall again the os X, if it works, that is all that matters.

- Is it possible that my config is not compatible despite the fact that the installation went fine ?

 

- MSI x58 Pro

- i7 920 @ 3.0Ghz ( 20x150fsb )

- 3x2GB Corsair

- ATI Golden Sample 4870 1GB

 

Network and audio are from the mobo.

My configuration is very stable despite the small overcloking, I use a Noctua with a well-ventilated Antec tower.

 

thank you for you help guys, any feedback would be appreciated, I'd really enjoy to run os X on my i7.

Have a good day

Hey guys,

 

I finally got somethin' booting, I unselected all the items, and then select one by one the ones that I need. I selected also ahci and old ACPI. I thin I will do a sum up as soon as I get something fully working.

 

I just booted in failsafe mode, stuck in 1024x768. Next step is booting in normal mode, full res ( 1920x1200 - 24" ) and playing with audio and video. I don't know how to change my drivers, and if I need to.

 

the final step will be full support of the 4 cores.

 

Thanks for your help

Hi meteo,

 

I have a very similar hardware configuration (my ATI 4870 is 2GB), and the only limited success I had was installing iAtkos v7 with the following options:

 

Chameleon v2

DSMOS

SMBIOS28

OHR

APIC DRIVER

ATI HD

 

It boots with "cpus=1 busratio=20" and goes beyond the Apple log and a few seconds after the screen turns black, but the PC is operational, i. e., if a press any key there is disk activity, it seems that apparently the there is some issue with the video driver.

 

I've also upgraded the BIOS of my MSI X58 Pro-e (MS-7522) to a SLI version, the v8.5.

 

I've been trying to use the info on this thread:

If anyone could shed some light in helping us ...

 

Cheers,

Paulo
