I have had my GX280 Happily Running Snow for some time now, when my motherboard decided to fry like a chicken so i made a new system with a replacement motherboard, the Biostar G31-M7 TE (Cheap as Chips!) Motherboard. Since then all attempts to install iatkos have failed. I can boot and install using cpus=1 -v, but when booting into the os for the first time it just hangs. Has anyone installed IAtkos on this motherboard before?

 

specs:

 

Motherboard: Biostar G31-M7 TE ver 6.3

Chipset: NorthBridge G31, Southbridge ich7

Cpu: Intel P4 LGA775 2.8ghz HT

1GB DDR2 Ram

Graphics: XFX Geforce 7200gs 256mb PCI-E

 

1 X Toshiba Sata 110g HD

1 X Maxwell Sata 40g HD

1 X Lite-on Dual Layer Burner IDE

 

Thanks in Advance

Yes, I too would like to know how it worked out for Snow Leopard Retail DVD. I have a Biostar GF7100P-M7S and I want to know what steps I need to prepare for installing using a Retail DVD. Thanks if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I used the tonymacx86 install and it all went well. The only thing is that the onboard ethernet on the card did not work for me and still does not. My way out of it was to get a D-Link DGE-528T pci card and used the followind kext:

I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install and seconds later finally had a very fast connection! The only thing now is that it will not boot by itself, like the P55-USB3 does, but it is a very nice Hackintosh right now. Have to leave the install CD.

I have the G41-M7 which is almost the same as the G31.

 

I disabled EHCI and booted with EmpireEFI with a Mac Retail DVD and it installs no problem. I then got the Realtek installer from Realtek and i'm in business. Since I have a nvidia 8800GT I just had to use GraphicsEnabler in my plist under /E

 

Using Snow Leopard with 10.6.4 update.

This is the Mac OS X 10.6 driver for Realtek 8169S(SB)/8168(B/C/CP/D/E/F)/8101E/8102E/8103E/8105E. The system will be rebooted after the driver is installed, so please close all the other applications before installing the driver. After the system is rebooted, please follow the following steps to configure the network:

1. Select the "System Preference" from the system menu.

2. Select and launch the "Network" item in the "System Preference" folder.

3. From the "Configure" list, select the adapter to be configured.

4. Configure the settings.

5. Click the "Save" button.

Then you can connect to the Ethernet.......

 

NOTE: This driver is for Mac OS X 10.6 on the Intel-based Mac.
