ace0022 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Alright guys, I have been trying to get this to run for a week now. I think I got this forum and hundreds of others memorized and many DVD's wasted. This is my last ditch effort to get this to run on my PC. I've seen people with it with almost my same specs, but my inexperience with Mac show by not understanding how to get it to run. My specs: MB Intel d945sg CPU Q9550 quad core 2.83 1333 FSB 4GB of Ram 1333 Seagate 7200RPM 32mb cache SATA2 ATI HD 4670 Powercolor Phillips SATA DVDRW 20X My Mac Version is Mac OSX86 Universal 3.6 I follow all the instructions on getting it installed, the whole sh DSDT thing. When it reboots this is what I get (see pic). I'm so stuck guys and I really want this to work. Any help would be great.

audit13 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Have you tried using the retail instllation disc for a usb install? I tried a universal distro without success. I switched to a retail installation and things were much better.

ace0022 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 I can boot with the DVD...its installed, just won't go to the desktop with the dumb kernel panic. I have tried -x and -x32 and still panic. I tried the retail install once, but no luck. That was before I learned all this stuff. If I can't figure it out with you guys help, I'll bite it again and try the retail install once again...since none of he other ones seem to work right.

I would check netkas' website on dealing with the ATI 4xxx series cards. It looks like a video problem.

audit13 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Is it possible for you to try an nVidia card? I've tried the 8500gt and 8400gs without issue. All resolutions appear and, in my case, there was no need to load additional drivers.

audit13 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Does your motherboard have onboard graphics? If it does, you could try setting up using the Intel 950 video drivers.

ace0022 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Does your motherboard have onboard graphics? If it does, you could try setting up using the Intel 950 video drivers. Nothing on board to try. I'm starting to think I'm doomed not to get this working. Been 2 and a half weeks on this with no improvement on getting somewhere. I tried all the netkas boot loaders, all their kexts and have tried 2 universal versions 3.5 and 3.6 and the retail that won't do jack with nothing to show. Any more ideas before I say the hell with it? Thanks...

ace0022 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hey guys, thank you so much for all the help. I have wasted my last DVD with the Hazard DVD. I'm going to keep an eye out on the post that audit13 posted to see if there's any improvement, but I think I'm done. Leopard works, except for the video res. If anyone knows how to fix that, your input would be most appreciated, and I'll gladly play with leopard until SL gets it right or someone finds a fix. Thanks again to all who posted and helped.
