WallyFTW Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My specs are in my sig and I finally got my hands on a distro that boots on my system. Hazard wouldn't boot at all even with all the alternate Extensions.mkext. Anyway, I used to have iAtkos v7 10.5.7 on my system. I tried installing SL using the exact same BIOS settings (AHCI, ACPI & APIC are all enabled). I ended up stumbling upon a distro by "Director A.K." Distro release name was "SnowLeo Mac OSX86 for intel/AMD (32/64)". I installed the distro on my secondary IDE HDD. Anyway here's a list of the available kext to choose from: boot.plist = 32 bit default. | | +-o System | | |-Base Package | | |-Rosetta | | |-X11User | | |-Tools | | | | | +-o Chameleon Loader | | |-Chameleon RC4 PC-EFI 10.5 (asereBLN) | | |-Chameleon RC4 PC-EFI 10.6 | | |-Chameleon RC5 Pre11 Recursor's | | |-Chameleon 2 PC-EFI 10 | | |-Chameleon 1 PC-EFI 9.4 | | | | | +-o AMD Patch (BETA) | | | | | +-o ChipSet | | |-Intel AHCI | | |-ApplePXIIATA | | |-Nforce ATA | | |-Super Nforce ATA | | |-VIA ATA | | |-Super VIA | | |-JMicron ATA | | |-MB36x SATA | | | | | +-o Video Card | | |--Intel | | |-GMAX950 | | |-GMAX3100 | | |-GMAX3500 | | |-GMAX4500 | | |--Nvidia | | |-Natit | | |-NVEnabler | | |-NVInject | | |--ATI | | |-ATI Init | | |-EvoEnabler | | |-ATI Redeon HD | | | | | +-o Network Card | | |--LAN | | |-BCM440X | | |-BCM5785 | | |-Intel 82566M | | |-NforceLan | | |-RTL 8139 | | |-RTL 8169 | | |-AppleYukon2Injector | | |-AttansicL1eEthernet | | |-AttansicL1Ethernet | | |-Intel Pro100 | | |-ViaRhine | | |--Wifi | | |-Realtek R1000 | | |-Atheros AR5005 | | |-Atheros AR5007 | | |-Marvel Yukon | | |-AtherosWifiAdapter | | |-D-LinkDWL-G520 | | | | | +-o Audio Card | | |-VoodooHDA | | |-HDA Enabler | | |-LegacyHDA | | |-AppleAzalioAudio | | |-AppleAC'97 | | | | | +-o System Patches | | |-DSDT Patcher-GUI | | |-FakeSMC | | |-NullCPUPM | | |-PlatformUUID | | |-Sleep Enabler | | |-ApplePS2 | | |-USB Patch | | |-IOATAFamily K.P.

Upon the first reboot I got a waiting for root device error as soon as it was done loading USB stuff. I'll attach a pic at the end. So then I went back and installed the SuperNForceATA chipset patch. No diff. I know that the kext is on the DVD cuz it recognized my IDE drive and installed on it right? I just don't know which one to pick. Help me out please.
