punkrockml13 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) My computer doesn't give me the chance to enter any kind of bootup options... it just goes right to "booting darwin" or whatever it says. any suggestions as to how else I can enter "-v"? I know what it's supposed to look like because I used to dual boot OS X with XP on my dimension 3000, but this scenario is beyond my comprehension at the moment Edited December 28, 2006 by punkrockml13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc297spec Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I am trying to dual boot vista and osx I have followed the install guide to the "T" and i still cant get it to work. My hardware: DS3 rev1 board E6300 OC 3.2 3 SATA Hard Drives (2 WD250GB & 1 Seagate150GB) 1 PATA DVD Drive This is what i have done numerous times...Clean install of vista...during install set up 30GB partition and leave it as unallocated space...once Vista is completely installed I use the disk part command and prep the partition. I allready have downloaded the 10.4.8 reseed and the JMB patch. Patched iso and burnt it. Set bios back to factory defaults no OC... 0-3 ports enabled and in IDE mode. After loading the disc I use the -v option its starts to load and then i get the dreaded waiting for root. I thought maybe it was the wd Drive so i switched it to the seagate still same problem. Any Ideas on What the hell I am doing wrong. Maybe i have Dl the wrong file from demonoid but not exactly sure. I downloaded the MAC OS X 10.4.8 Intel Only Jas re-seed (SSE3 Only - NO AMD) and used the JMB patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you manage to install? or you can't enter the install routine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc297spec Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) okay guys figured it out my dvd rom was in slave mode switched it to master and all good able to install...I am amazed at how well it worked out. couple of questions... software updating are we okay with taking the upgrades? Also I used Pions ds3-ds4 1.2 update and was wondering my audio in vista works through the optical out but i have no sound in osx any is it because of the optical out? And final question for the night is it normal during reboot for the system to hang? This forum is great their is a wealth of knowledge available here... I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that helped make this possible. Edited January 1, 2007 by dc297spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRipley Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hello guys, installed my system now with Dual Boot XP and OSX 10.4.8 reseed ! Also GForce 7600gs with NATIT and Sound with Patcher. All function very well ! Quartz and 2D acceleration ... OK Sound OK - USB OK - Gigabit OK - Used this Manual for Dualboot .... the best i think ! Tested many ! http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=6890 You can do all stuff with "eXtended Fdisk", don`t need Fdisk .... Download Hirens Boot Disk, it is ideal for us. But i have one problem, i think you can give me a hint ! If i say shutdown in OSX the system shut down, but if i say restart it don`t restart my pc only get black screen and nothing happens. Thanks for your work ! Great Forum ... Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdd Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm a happy user of the OSX86 on a DS4 board, but I've got a very annoying problem. The system time seems to run faster than normal. While watching the clock it looks like 1 minute passes, but in real time it only took 40-45 seconds. When the system synchronizes with Apple's timeserver, the time jumps back. Has anyone had the same problem? Please help, I feel I'm getting older too fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It instals perfectly without any gadgets (using IDE DVD). Warning: there are a few bugs with most network cards. Download or print your network setup before installing it.

fredperes Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Guys, I have 02 network cards in my computer, but OSX only detects 01. What can I do? 01 card is for internet. The other one is to connect to my other PC. Internet works fine, but I cannot share it or share files. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested it on a friends pc and it works. Any suggestions? Thanx at this stage you no longer need an sata/ide adapter. you can connect the dvd rom directly to the jmicron ide if you have the jmicron patch installed. I sugesst that you read the threads backwards since many problems were solved since the tread started this way you can get to the latest solutions first and avoid taking steps that are no longer necessary.

Thiago Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) is it possible to use the spdif optical output with 965p-s3/ds3 on mac os x (10.4.8)? my pc is connected to a av receiver by a optical cable, and works very nice on windows.. i like to use it on mac os x too, but here has no sound Edited January 13, 2007 by Thiago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanevo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I just downloaded the latest JAS and your right i dont need the converter any more woo hoo. Thanx for the advise guys. Now for my next noob question. I can't find my HDD, i have a western digital HDD connected to orange sata port which is set to master (DVD is all so set to master. I dont know if this will affect it). I used disk part utility in windows to create a new partition which comes up as an unkown partition (my windows partition is set as ntfs). Can someone point me in the direction of a really really simple instruction to get my HDD to work in mac. thanx for putting up wit my noob questions.

Stiffy Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Guys, 965P-DS3/S3 now support AHCI and NCQ! just update BIOS to F8(S3)/F10(DS3), in CMOS setup, set AHCI enable and native mode enable. WindowsXP use intel matrix driver (modified .inf to DEV_2824) OSX use AppleAHCIPort.kext(modified Info.plist to 0x28248086) Edited January 22, 2007 by stiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just a quick report on the Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2. After a lot of trouble I managed to install JaS 10.4.8 on this board. With more trouble tweaking things, everything works. Sound, IDE, FireWire, USB, PS2. Well, no acceleration on the onboard X3000 graphics but I have this perfectly working 6800XT anyway. The board is very similar to the DS3. Actually so similar that thedguy and this thread could solve most of the post install issues. I'll make a nice step-to-step guide later on. Oh, and with JaS 10.4.8 the SATA disks work very fast on the orange ports with SATA native mode enabled and all legacy stuff disabled. Have a Samsung and Western Digital harddisk installed, no problems. I did install the ICH8 drivers on the JaS release, perhaps that made a difference. The 10.4.7 install dvd and installation would give a "still waiting for root device" error, so I guess nothing below 10.4.8 will work on this board. The IDE doesn't work without a fix, so you'll need either a SATA DVD drive or to write the image to the harddisk for an install from the HD. hey there. care to elaborate what initial problems you had with this board? I intend on using "JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3" with "JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSe2.SSe3.v1p ppf" patch. I am closing-in on getting this board before I buy. I am having a rough time with my present board (see sig) as OSX consistently crashes on desktop boot. I need to know what works and what doesn't on this board. Thank you in advanced!!! I love this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebKaine Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Hi Folks , first post on the forum ! i was doing some compatibility research in order to see if OSx86 can run on my PC ! When i first saw the x86 Wiki , i was very enthousiast everithings looks perfect ! here's my system and the compatibility i found - Cpu : core 2 duo > OK with JAS 10.4.8 + last Semthex kernel - Mobo : 965P - DS3 > OK with JAS 10.4.8 + JMB + Pions package - CG : 7900 GS > OK with JAS 10.4.8 + Titan or Natit drivers - Audio : AC97 > Ok with the realtek driver - Lan : Yukon > Ok with foredeth driver - DVD : Pionneer IDE DVR series > Ok by default - HDD : Seagate IDE 120go > No informations ... Yeaar ! piece of cake ! that's what i thought at the begenning ... But i try to read all the topics related to my hardware ! and i fall on this very informative topics ! It looks that most people here are good coders from the linux world ! And i'm afraid after reading the 24 pages that install OSx 86 is now impossible for me . In facts i have an IDE HDD and it looks that there is no way to solve this pb ! Can anybody confirm this information ? My motivation for running osX is to work with high end graphics appli like Shake and Maya ! - so i'm not here to try to port os X for the challenge - i need a reliable system with a Max of 3D Perf and CPU + Ram optimisation ! - i know basic unix coding but i'm not a computer moguls So here is my second question : Does OSX 86 suited my needs ? Shake and Maya also runs on Linux , maybe it's a better OS choice for me ? Does Mac OS X use on pc is only reserved for those who Rocks at solving computers problems, who are entertained by the challenge of trying to break apple limitations ? Thanks for reading me ! Sorry for this wordy post in a pretty bad english ! Best regards S.K Edited January 24, 2007 by SebKaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
