evil666 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Try iDeneb 1.6 lite 10.5.8. Then go from there. If you have any issue booting disk to to the quad core use kernel flags -v -F cpus=1 maxmem=4096 fsb=200000000 or fsb=400000000 but only type one fsb when it comes to the fsb you have to research what your fsb is on the mobo. 200 or 400Mhz cpus=2 may work as well but to be safe you can try cpus=1 first Since you have Intel you may just be able to boot as normal but I don't know. Worst case scenario the dvd doesn't boot use what i stated above.
