i upgraded to bios F7 and used tony's beta iso (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=197) and i can install easily enough and reboot into initial boot for the os (first time i've been able to get this far). but can't apply the boot efi to make it bootable. nor can i load dsdt, kext, without it breaking the ability to boot back into. that's as far as i can get... can only boot into snow leopard with the boot cd only if i haven't changed anything. no ethernet, etc. working...

 

hardware:

ga-p55a-ud4p

8 gb ram

i7-860

(2) geforce 9800GTX+

 

bios: F7

 

bios settings: as described at bottom of this page.. http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/11/os-...ing-retail.html

 

ps. i also tried PC-EFI 10.6 Released, and no luck making bootable.

pps. this is using snow leopard retail dvd.

yo, little update....

 

i now have a fully functioning setup with the same hardware. super simple now, i used Tony's beta nvidia iso http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=197

 

then after installation i used Tony's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] .1 http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=286

and installed the following:

 

-Chameleon ->PC-EFI 10.6 netkas

-Audio -> ALC 889

-Graphics -> NVEnabler

-Network -> RealtekR1000SL

-DSDT -> DSDT-GA-P55A-UD4P-F7

-Extras -> com.apple.boot.plist, smbios.plist

-Standard Snow Leopard Kexts-> fakesmc.kext, JMicronATA.kext

-Utilities-> Kext Utility

 

Used the BIOS settings you have, and same hardware mentioned before, bios F7. hope that helps!

Finally got it up in running with the help of those links ... just booted and enabled Lan ... now just got do the video and audio ... video should be easy GTX 275 not sure what audio to use yet though. also never ran 64bit before im hoping that my old ntfs enabler will still work now that I'm booting in 64bit

 

but overall looks good so far

 

my RAID drive isnt coming up, didn't expect it too but wondering if it would ever be possible ??
