osx86guy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 i went out and bought a new P5QPL-AM Motherboard by asus built on the intel G41/ICH7 chipset. Everything is detected properly (even the internal sata drives!! those weren't even detected in the old factory motherboard). Question being - seeing that everythings detected properly, why is the install freezing/stopping at about 15% while copying files and not going anywhere? is this a setting ishould change in the bios that would change this? ive just upgraded the bios to the latest version prior to posting this post so i havent even tried to see if that would help anything. Is there any patched bioses that i should get that may benefit me and this board to install osx properly? Please help, It's gotta be something simple! BTW is the snow leopard retail upgrade cd a bootable cd? Please advise! ANY HELP AT ALL IS APPRECIATED!!! System specs: Modified Gateway DX4720-01h Asus P5QPL-AM motherboard (new as of today) 4GB RAM, 512MB DDR2 PCIE ATi radeon HD3650, 2 internal sata hard drives (1TB and 750GB, soon to add another 500GB sata), sata dvd burner, pata dvd burner, msi tv@anywhere tv tuner, aftermarket firewire card with 4 ports based on via chipset. note -- processor is a intel quad core q8200 2.33 ghz processor Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196925-need-help-osx86-ideneb-iatkos-v7-1057-install-on-new-asus-p5qpl-am-motherboard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

vetsen Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I was able to get this exact board to boot IPC 10.5.6 using CPUS=1 at the boot loader. But I can't enable all 4 cores after installation. if I install the ACPI fix and boot from the HD using CPUS=1 everything works, but I have a quad core, and I want to use all 4 cores. I did have success using a Boot 123 disc and retail SL. Install some kexts, and all cores work. Do you need 10.5? or will Sl work for you?

Vetsen Hey Vetsen, No I don't entirely need 10.5, my plan was to just get 10.5 working as long as i can get it installed then use the snow leopard upgrade dvd i bought to upgrade it to SL. *had problems burning the snow leopard downloads so i bought it) do you know if the snow leopard upgrade dvd is bootable or not?

osx86guy Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 can you also give me a guide on how you installed it (what you did, what kexts/patches you had to apply etc) for install using ipc 10.5.6 Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196925-need-help-osx86-ideneb-iatkos-v7-1057-install-on-new-asus-p5qpl-am-motherboard/#findComment-1327283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent you the Kexts. Let me know how it goes.

JohnnyGlock Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey guys, I recently got the ASUS N61Vn-A2 Laptop and I've been trying to install OS X on it all week. I've tried Leo4All, iDeneb, iPC, and iAtkos v7. iAtkos seems to be the only one that can at least boot to where I can see the install screen (w/ -v cpus=1 busratio=20). But I seem to have the same problem, where the installation hangs or freezes right around the 15% level. Have you found a solution?
