gh0st615 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 been trying to install snow leopard using retail disk and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with no success. my bios version is 3.20 . i've changed my bios settings and disabled nix-pxe. i've tried -v -x busratio=22 PCIRootUID. i get all the way to the language select screen but only the ps/2 keyboard works. i have 2 mice plugged in, one on a ps2 port and one on a usb port. neither work. i can use the tab & spacebar key on the keyboard and get to the hard drive select screen. but it shows no hard drives. how can i get to the disk utility without a mouse? it doesnt seem to let me "tab" to it either. am i doing something wrong?

mrnico1977 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Old post, I suspect you have given up or solved the issue by now but should any one else find it here is how... First, take your hdd out of the Sata Raid controller and install it connected to the SAS controller (port 0) Run the install and when you get to the hdd select you need to press control-F2 which will take the focus to the top menu bar, then use the arrow keys to navigate to the disk utility, once there you have to tab and format your drives etc... When thats done you can tab and select the drive you need. Once your in to OSX (assuming this all goes well) you will have to use the keyboard which is a pain as by default its disabled for "full control" so you will first need to get into system settings and enable full control by tabbing accross... Once you have enabled full control you need to open finder then delete a AppleHPET.kext and then reboot and your usb should be working.
