hurtaxis Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am trying to install OSX86 on my custom computer and I keep getting errors every time I try to install. Here are the specs: Mobo: Asus M3N72-D Chipset: nVidia 750a SLI CPU: AMD Phenom II 940 BE @ 3Ghz GPU: PNY GeForce 9800 GTX+ PS: Corsair 750TX RAM: 4GB of OCZ Fatal1ty Edition HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 640gb 7200RPM Whenever I install when watching in verbose mode the installation will pause after: USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. And then it will say "Still waiting for root device" forever on after that at a few minute intervals. As of now I am just testing whether or not the installation will work in the first place, I dont actually have a location to install the OS, because I dont want to have to format my hard drive now that has my Windows XP and Windows 7, so I am waiting on whether or not I will even be able to install it until I order another HD or an External HD. So if you know for sure this installation will never work on my machine just say and I will gladly abort but I would really love to be able to run OSX on my machine!!! (Oh and if anyone has any suggestions on upgrading to Snow Leopard after the 10.5.6 install input is appreciated!) If anyone could help it would be amazingly appreciated!!

razy60 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 can you remember the choices you made in customization and list them, How are you testing this as, as far as i am aware you need the partition for the install as this is not a live cd so the only way is to create the partition and install, you only need a small partition say 10-15 gig, Raz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187097-need-help-installing-ipc-1056-errors-when-trying-to-install/#findComment-1330220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurtaxis Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I actually didnt make any choices in customization, i wasnt able to even get past the loading screen for the installer itself. Would not having an empty partition change that?

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Does anyone have any other ideas i can try? like different distros or maybe a code to use on startup? cuz as of now i am not even able to get past the disc booting i get different errors in every distro.

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 should i still use IPC 10.5.6? and what mode should i have my hard drive set to, sata or ide?

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 i believe there is an ACPI option, should I use that instead? and do i technically need a partition in the first place if i just want to make sure it installs? because if i can get to the installation screen then i will probably buy an external hard drive, because i dont want to erase my hard drive to to make room for OSX.

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 thank you so much, i am going to pull up this site on my itouch and try out the bootloader so i can respond if anything goes wrong. I guess i will use the "platform=ACPI" flag first because i dont have a partition set up, but if that doesnt work my guess for the RD flag would be "rd=disk0s1" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187097-need-help-installing-ipc-1056-errors-when-trying-to-install/#findComment-1354307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 oh ok so i set the dvd drive to either ide or acpi and if i cant change that then i try using the flags. any one flag in particular i should choose first if there is no option for the dvd drive?

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 im sorry i just want to make sure so put in rd=disk1s1 or rd=1s1?

hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 in my bios i was able to set sata type as IDE, so i imagine that to encompass my DVD drive also, and that didnt help. I tried all of the rd flags and all of the platform flags but still every time i end up getting the same error as i had in the beggining, the: USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. USBF: (###) AppleUSBHOC(######)::CheckSleepCapability -Controller will be unloaded across sleep. and then "still waiting for root device on and on" I really have no idea why it is doing this Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187097-need-help-installing-ipc-1056-errors-when-trying-to-install/#findComment-1354350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurtaxis Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 ok i will try those flags but what is a USB DVD? do you just mean a flash drive?

hurtaxis Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 OK so if i got Macdrive how would i go about patching the iso? And i do have a friend that has a mac, how would i restore the disk to a flash drive? Which would be easier?

rabybaby09 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 If you figure this out then could you please tell me as I am having the same problem. I have tried 3 different distros, all coming to the same error you got. But I am running a laptop, so no options for dvd drive. Thanks.

hurtaxis Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 ok and just to be sure i am formatting the IPC iso to guid partition, then i am restoring it to a flash drive with disk utility? And could you just run over using macdrive to do it just incase i get macdrive first?

hurtaxis Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes i know, you are the only person that is atleast trying to make an effort to help, and i thank you greatly for that. I will try using macdrive or my friends mac to format the flash drive first, and see if that works. I will get back to you ASAP with the results, I might be able to get the macdrive option done tonight.
