Lord_Jeremy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Heh. You say you've tried a crudload of SMBIOSes but have you tried this one? Sorry, that's all I can suggest. Except perhaps trying a Voodoo kernel, but I'm not sure how likely that is to help you.

Lord_Jeremy Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Er. Well I can't really guarantee it would fix it, you might want to at least try installing the Voodoo kernel. If possible, make a small partition at the tail of your drive just to try this out with.

Joe Black 779 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have the same Motherboard, every time i boot from the Mac osx 5.7 dvd it show no hard drive in the disk utility I can't seem to configure the Bios correctly to so the hard drive show so i can format them. I have a 160 hard drive for the os and three 1Tb hard drives for storage. Please help. PLEASE For install i use iDeneb 1.6 10.5.8 lite, thats the only DVD where i must not start the boot with cpus=1 Install it with vanilla kernel, smbiosEFI, select driver and enabler for vga (without enabler blank boot screen, or monitor in standby mode ) for sound select VoodooHDA, or leave blank, and after succesful boot install the newest. after install boot with iPC 10.5.6 and uncheck all packages except drivers>system>AplleIntelATAPII or something +ACPI Fix, now reboot and boot again 10.5.8 and select bootloader chameleon2 nothing else, dunno why, booting from iPC 10.5.6 and installing acpi fix is ruining chameleon2, youre done after reboot you'll have HDD but very slow boot with IOKITWAIT errors. I'm fixing it now, dunno if its AppleACPI problem, or AppleIOATA, i'll post a full install process after i'm done, i fixed it a month ago, and forgot what was the problem my bad. I have pictures from bios settings, i'll post it too. After succesful boot you must install seatbelt.kext for 10.5.8 and the newest VoodooHDA if that one on 10.5.8 not working (worked for me, except mic, but i have usb logitech headphones with mic ClearChat pro USB, and its awesome) i have NV260GTX vga wich is fully working, i had a problem with firewire, disabled it, i'm not using fw hw now, so its not important for me, AboutThisMac shows core2solo, buuut, iStat shows 2 cores working, system profiler says 1 core. you must set bios to IDE, dont know why, but i installed it on AHCI, install took 3-4 hrs, now i intall it on ide in 12 minutes. After the iowaitkit something is fixed, system boots in about 30sec, extremly fast response, so i love it. Edit: just installed snow leopard 10.6.2 hazard, you must prepare all kexts you need, sata/ata fix etc, or you'll get kernel panic, but now it runs perfect. I want to buy a mac Maybe iDeneb or iAtkos will be fully fixed, and we can use it, just cant wait for it Joe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200703-about-this-mac-again-p45-neo3-fr/#findComment-1383263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
