evil_evo Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 What are your graphics card details..........? It is an AGP card and I believe it is gForce MX440....I can get gForce 7800 if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It is an AGP card and I believe it is gForce MX440....I can get gForce 7800 if that makes any difference. For AGP graphics card drivers see here......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_evo Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 For AGP graphics card drivers see here......... Thank but how do I install the driver when I can't boot into system and DVD doesn't have AGP drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thank but how do I install the driver when I can't boot into system and DVD doesn't have AGP drivers? Start by using Leopard Install DVD distro, e.g. iPC 10.5.6 that includes AGPGart and use Disk Utility on the DVD to set up two volumes; one for Leopard and one for Snow leopard...........get Leopard running first and then use it to help with your SL installation.......

evil_evo Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hello verdant thank you for you reply, I tried installing IPC 10.5.6 universal PPF5 but unable to boot into the system to install. This is what happens : I tried to boot the DVD using -v and I get the following message, Mac OS version not yet set, not matter how I try to boot I get the same message do you know what is the problem here? Furthermore I trying to get the IPC live DVD to see whether that works. Any thoughts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that you have correctly set your BIOS for OS X and that you have your IDE DVDRW jumper-set as Master and your IDE HDD jumper-set as Slave and correctly connected to the 80-wire IDE cable connecting them to your MOBO.........see IDE Cable connection section in post#1 here.........and since the DVD boot kernel is Voodoo 9.5.0 Release Version, which supports Pentium 4 / D / M CPUs, including your Pentium 4 2.8GHz SSE2 CPU...........so, try booting the DVD with: -v -f busratiopath=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with regards to BIOS setting i think I have that configure correctly ... If i have issues I will have some photos for you take a look at my BIOS settings if that ok with you...

No problem.......but take photos of sub-menus too....... You may not have all of the following options but if you do, then set them as follows ACPI Suspend Type [s3 (STR)] ACPI APIC Support [Enabled] CPU Internal Thermal Control [AUTO] Limit CPUID MaxVal [DISABLED] Enhanced C1 (C1E) [DISABLED] Execute Disable Bit [ENABLED] Virtualization Technology [DISABLED] Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology [DISABLED] Configure SATA as "AHCI" or Serial-ATA Configuration [Enabled] JMicron SATA / PATA Controller [Disabled].....if JMicron present.....unless it works for you [Enabled].....but JMicron is known to cause problems for some....but JMicron patches for OS X Install DVDs are now appearing...... JMicron Controller Mode [AHCI]....if present..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_evo Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 -v -f busratiopath=7 didnt work for me still same issue : OS version not yet set.

Anyway below are my BIOS settings please take a look, I have taken the picture of sub menus as well: Any suggestions? Thanks Enable AC'97 Audio Enable System Thermal (Why is CPU not on Q-FAN control ?) Put IDE HDD as Slave on same channel (i.e. Primary IDE Channel) as the IDE DVDRW, or as Master on the Secondary IDE Channel. busratiopath=7 should work for all CPUs according to Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel documentation but some Pentium 4 CPUs require busratiopath=6........so try -v -x busratiopath=7 -v -x busratiopath=6 -v -x busratiopath=7 -notscverify -v -x busratiopath=6 -notscverify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
