Khan_Man Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 what are the specs on your mother board -chipset -lan In your bios check to see what hard drive modes U have (IDE, AHCI....). SATA doesn't have master/slave.... are U using PATA/IDE or SATA? If U don't know open the computer up and look. On the boot options try a -v and note the last dozen lines.

Khan I use sata power and data connectors not pata Chipsets North Bridge AMD 770 South Bridge AMD SB700 lan: Realtek 8111C i know i use sata but i think it says it runs it as sata, it has that, run as raid, then the ahci, i run under sata it doesnt show my drives in the begining, i select ahci, then run sata, then there is another option but i forgot i redownloaded it, and ima burn a new copy, and try it a few different ways, and then do the -v thing to tell u what it says Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179828-deneb-install-hangs-up-after-months-of-trying-gah/#findComment-1226349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
