[help] 4core1333-viiv, Retail, Distro or nothing?

[Demonslasher86]

I've an ATI 5750 and i know there's nothing to do about it other than wait for kexts.

my mobo is an asrock 4core1333-viiv with bios P1.60, chipset is g965/p965 ich8dh.

i read awful things about this mobo, for example one of this forum users tried a custom firmware that seems to have destroyed it, and on the wiki i saw no support at all.

at least one year ago i made it to install leopard (not snow) on this pc without audio and lan to work, and if i remember well neither usb was working.

i'm posting all what everest can find about those peripherals hoping that someone here can lend me a hand, from telling me which distro to take (or retail) to telling me which kexts and patches to choose during installation.

this for audio: Realtek ALC888/1200, from asrock site it says only ALC888.

and this for network: Intel® 82566DC Gigabit.

is there something i can do with this config, thanks in advance.

Actually the only distro that was fine for me is iAtkos S3 which has mac os x 10.6.3

 

and I have EX58 UD3R which also has ALC888 Audio chip and it worked for me but I got audio from the headphones socket

 

Also iAtkos has some kexts for your intel network card

 

try and tell me

ok, i'm downloading, so i have to choose a bootloader: chameleon will be good for a dual boot with seven.

from bootloader options do i have to choose 32-bit boot due to my video card? i read that there only are kexts for 32-bit.

from patches i really don't know what to pick ç_ç

drivers...well: voodoo HDA and apple hda 10.6.2 would be good for sound, i have 2 hdd sata2 in raid0, do i have to select something on sata/ide?

then again from vga i think i have to left all unselected, right?

and on network intel gigabit must be selected for my config and not intel pro 100.

language italian will be good, i also could have taken this for me, but.. hey

am i wrong somewhere?

[medorpg]

The bootloader that worked for was PCI EFI (you will find a list to choose from in iAtkos)

and actually I didnt choose the 32 bit mode

 

actually I'm telling you what I did and what did work for me

 

but you may want to change some options as you want if you felt like it will suits you

 

good luck

[Demonslasher86]

i just don't want to try more than two times ç_ç

i'm too spoiled with seven

[Demonslasher86]

ok, i finally tried and it worked, audio is working and also video, i'm stuck at 1024x768 but i'll work on it later because i think enabling the 82566DC gigabit lan is more important and since i don't know how to make it work i'm begging for heeelp pleeease ç_ç

 

EDIT: oh, i selected the gigabit drivers on installation

 

RE-EDIT: I'm writing by snow leopard 10.6.4, all updated and working, obviously not the ati 5750, wish kexts come soon.

Great news

Now search for your graphics card kexts so you get full mac experience like me

 

I think you can change the resolution by adding this kernel flag at your start up

 

"Graphics Mode"=1680x1050x32

 

With this "

change the previous resolution with your suitable one

 

But you will still need your graphics card kexts
