MaLd0n Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 "after typing -v cpus=1 busratio=20 i am getting the error???????????????" use the vanilla kernel ahci enabled in bios? which installation DVD you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushabh Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 i have a similar configuration(see sig) and have been using it since a year now! Infact i 'm typing from it now. I have to say its an excellent mobo and everything is supported! i recommend you do as MaLd0n says. use the vanilla kernel and enable ahci in the bios. Also try installing with a sata drive (i couldnt get mine to boot with ide)- same error as you with ide booting You shouldnt need "-v cpus=1 busratio=20" EDIT:- If you do not have a sata drive use the usb method for snow leopard this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=183751 got me inside snow leopard smooth! You can try without the dsdt step and generate it once inside the os Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
