mg100796 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ok. I have installed iDeneb v1.3 ump-teen times on my desktop. I have gotten a spinning wheel on some, others just the grey apple, and some don't even show anything without boot flags ie: cpus=1 busratio=20 fsb=133 -v -f -x. My configuration is as follows: MSI x58 Platinium SLI motherboard, 6GBs of Patriot DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GTS 250 PNY Edition, Sniper Case, 650 watt Antec power supply, 1TB SATA HD, 80GB SATA HD (Not sure of model), IDE CD-RW/DVD-RW with lightscribe, and multiple boot discs. I have a Mac Mini copy of 10.5.4, the boot 123 disc for installing the store bought DVD (Which too, won't boot) as well as many versions of Windows. I've tried everything that I can think of. I turned Hyper-Threading off in the BIOS, change my HD config to RAID, reinstalled iDeneb, added all the packages, the selected none of them. I'm not sure which packages I need to chose, but I thought that it would work if I just installed all of them. I have been all over the forms, google, ect. NOTHING!!! With my current installation the farthest I can get with the boot flags: cpus=1 busratio=20 fsb=133 -v -f is where it says right before Mac OS Version: Not yet set, then, below that, it says Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2 [Date]; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_I1386, and freezes... I don't necessarily want to fix this problem, I just want to get Mac OS X to boot. Completely Confused..... Sorry, Double Post!

mg100796 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...hp/t153274.html Ok, I reinstalled it. Now, I keep getting the error: using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers. If somebody could PLEASE tell me what packages I'm supposed to choose, or tell me how to fix the error, that would be great. [EDIT] Scratch that. I've now got it to where the last thing it says is: [JMicronATA] Ultra mode 2; Still waiting for root device Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191899-ideneb-on-msi-platinuim/#findComment-1297769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg100796 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Modify what? No, I need to know what patches I should install with my configuration.

vilpostus Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I see. The most basic thing is to select as less stuff as possible. Only most needed and basic things. Like Chipset driver, PS/2 driver, Kernels (voodoo with AMD), a bootloader if needed and IOPCIFamily patch if present. In some cases an USB patch is needed too. Do not select any VGA/LAN/WLAN drivers. Install them later, on working system. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191899-ideneb-on-msi-platinuim/#findComment-1298899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
