xxxshooter Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hey all, Using a Q9550, GAEP45TUD3LR, 2x2gb ddr3 ram, gtx 280 1GB, 700W OCZ, 74GB 10K Drive SATA i am not able to run Mac. I'm sure i have a step wrong somewhere. 1. Set the mode or w/e to AHCI, and make cd first boot. 2. Put in OSX86 10.5.6 PPF5 DVD to drive. 3. Boot to DVD 4. Wipe HDD and install the plugins and OS and such according to the success story here (changing the VRAM of course). Let it shutdown/restart 5. Eject the DVD 6. After ejecting, set HDD to primary boot and disable AHCI. 7. Then it should work but it doesnt!.... yet after doing that and spending an all nighter trying to figure it out i have no idea still.... This is my first build so please teach me oh wise ones! Currently i am using osx86 IPC but i am also downloading iAtkos v7. Thanks and good day, Zach Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180616-gaep45tud3lr-not-booting-into-mac-osx-after-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfatboy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm not sure why (i'm still trying to find out) but leave the motherboard in AHCI mode. I have built 2 exact systems. One worked in IDE mode and other has to be in AHCI. The only difference is the bios revision. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

xxxshooter Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I wasn't sure what the verbose mode did so i didn't try it. But when i get home i will. My main question is what are you supposed to do after you reboot the computer when prompted to by the installer.

herpaderpa Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 When you are asked to reboot, you reboot. You're also suppose to type -v to see if any errors popup, since you aren't running a legit/perfectly compatible system under a retail disc Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180616-gaep45tud3lr-not-booting-into-mac-osx-after-install/#findComment-1230175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
