hitman32 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hello Asrock owners....as you already know osx86 on Asrock mobo is quite hard to install...well I tryed several times using iDeneb (other distros as well) and retail of course with no luck...but today after my first try with this boot132 made by blackosx I managed to install retail with my first try without any problems or tweakings ....i was astonished by the result.Anyway without makeing this post long....just use the boot132 to install your retail SL, put the kexts from the Preboot.dmg in your extra folder + your favourit Video and Audio drivers and ofcourse Chameleon 2 RC3 and there you go...a perfectly running retail SL on Asrock (mine were Asrock Conroe1333-D667 and G31M-S - both working not good...but very good ) So I hope you manage to get it working as I did...good luck... Heyy I also have a Asrock Conroe 1333-d667 R1.0 motherboard current bios v1.60, could u tell me what bios version ur using and also what settings u have in the bios, and could u also tell me which version of the boot cd from blackosx ur using, i tried ur method but the install just hangs at the grey apple screen, tried multiple boot 132 cd's from blackosx also, v1.01 and 1.09 both hang at the grey screen. I really need to install Leopard. Please Help!!!! :mellow: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185599-retail-106-for-asrock-owners/page/3/#findComment-1488890 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacWiesel Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 +1 for me with this great boot CD, I have a 945GCM-S and this helped me no end. I now have a rock solid 10.6.2 install [all vanilla] - no modified kexts on S/L/E with reboot/sleep/shutdown etc Only issues is after sleep and wake system will shutdown but not fully reboot. Hello, I read this topic and tried all possible tricks (-v; -x; cpus=1; arch=i386). I have the same mobo as above but I couldn't dl the Boot132 file here, so I used the original blackosx BootCD w/o knowing if that's right. It didn't work. Any hint or could someone send me the Boot-132 from this topic? Thx.

MacWiesel Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi thx for sharing. I tried that one and it starts AND finishes the installation process but I couldn't get my network working and I didn't manage to boot w/o the boot-cd.

fagosu Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi! Can somebody let me know what version of the boot-132 cd was on the first post? The link doesn't work and I would love to try this method on an 945GCM-S mobo that I purchased at a garage sale last weekend.

Thanks go here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t=#entry1632073 only install Ethernet and NVEnabler. I tried the audio and a few others and they caused crashes at startup requiring reinstallation. download and install Chameleon 2 RC4 but make sure to copy Extras folder content before restart otherwise you will be forced to use the boot132 CD for startup. Install Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update from download and resintall Ethernet afterwards.

fagosu Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Well, after a weekend of installing/screwing up/installing again/screwing up again (you get the idea) I was able to install 10.6.3, but Chameleon RC3 always gives me a "install failed" message and after rebooting only the blinking cursor shows. I changed to RC5 and now the bootloader loads and presents me with the HDD, but when selected BOOM, kernel panic. I already put the preboot.dmg kexts in Extra/Extensions and from the cd boots OK but from the HD fails (SATA HD and DVD). I will try again next weekend and report back Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185599-retail-106-for-asrock-owners/page/3/#findComment-1688714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
