Huskehn Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Specs: Motherboard: ASUS M4N68T-M V2 Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Video Card: MSI Nvidia GTX460 768MB RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) Patriot G Series 'Sector 5' DDR3 RAM Just wondering if I can get OS X up and running on this computer. I've tried installing using the retail DVD and the "OSX86 ModCD". Anyone get it working on this motherboard? Any help would be greatly appreciated! So far: When booting without flags, the install hangs at this. When booting with cpus=1 busratio=17 maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -v, it causes a kernel panic. I've noticed that a common BIOS setting that needs to be changed for OS X to work is to set the SATA mode to IDE, however my BIOS seems to lack an option for that.I did however find settings in the BIOS called "ACPI 2.0 Support" and "ACPI APIC support". They were both set to "Enabled", so I set them to "Disabled", and now the install hangs at this. However, from some Google-ing, it seems that those options should be on, so I turned them back on. Edit: I tried a different approach. I installed OS X to a physical hard drive using Oracle VirtualBox, and can now boot OS X from VirtualBox. However, if I try to boot the hard drive directly, I can get to the bootloader but the system will not boot. Are there just kexts I need to install now through VirtualBox?

Alright, I'll try that. Thanks for the help, it's appreciated. Edit: How can I add something to /E/E if OS X isn't installed? Do I have to put it on the DVD image somewhere? Edit: Oh, I have a virtual machine I can use. I'll try installing it via virtual machine and then putting ev0reboot in /E/E.
