Using retail 10.6 DVD with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy 2.7.2.

 

OSX installed fine with no boot parameters necessary.

All Hardware (ethernet, sound, graphics) is working after using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.10.1 with the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] option. Nothing else selected.

 

This is where my problems start.

 

After installing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and trying to start from the hard drive I get a grey/gray apple logo with no spinning wheel. If I boot with -v and any other boot parameters I get a black screen. The monitor does not go to sleep though. No indication of kernel panic. I have tried GraphicsEnabeler=No, PCIRootUID=0 (don't even know what this does), -x.

 

I can still boot the system using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy disk no problem, with no boot parameters.

 

I get full resolution CI, QE, network/internet, sound, and in general everything seems to be working perfectly. I just cannot boot from disk!

 

I have tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.3 and 3.10.1 with identical results.

 

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.0.5 has a legacy cpu option which makes the system bootable from HD, but breaks ethernet and sound.

 

Is there a way to get a legacy cpu to boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.10.1? That would be ideal. Other options include getting sound/ethernet to work with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.0.5, or using a custom distro.

 

Thanks
