eberardo pasquili-ausbergi Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Hi. I've tryed an Ideneb 1.4 install on a : P4P800, I4 3Ghz GPU: geforce 6600 2 x 1Gb ram (on 1st and 3rd slot) primary IDE: master with 2 primary partitions (XP and MAC), + slave hd secondary IDE: master CDrom, slave DVDrom Soundblaster audigy platinum The installation was ok, only, after boot, I got the bootloader, the gray apple and nothing else (no spinning wheel). If I go with -v i just see a very fast series of lines, then a black screen, with nothing. So it is difficult to google for help, neither i can post here something to let you help me better. I tried "black screen hackintosh bla bla" but I found only some hints like trying with "-x " and "-s". same result. I have tried also with kalyway, niresh etc etc, changing many settings in the "options" install page. Same. Any hint is really appreciated.

eberardo pasquili-ausbergi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi. I post here the working setup for the above h/w config: in "options" I selected: X11 ACPI KEXT 10.5.6 PS2Fix keyboard CREATIVE DRIVERS chipset: ICHX FIX KERNELS 9.2.2 (not Voodoo, that causes kernel panic to me). Network: SKGE MARVEL AppleSMBIOS 800 (if you have ram = 800 Hz) NCVINJECT 256 --- It works like charm, but Creative has only output, no input. If I install KX drivers as in http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.6 then the audio driver disappears. USB not working. I checked this page http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95789-solving-usb-problems-usb-devices-do-not-mount/ and as far as I understand, I did everything right but still no luck. Any hint?

eberardo pasquili-ausbergi Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 USB working. Just removed ACPI KEXT 10.5.6 and PS2Fix keyboard in the install, and removed usb2.0 support in the Bios. I suspect the latter does not matter, but who knows. This is very experimental, I just tried several install until I managed to find a working one. Too bad I don't really understand what I am doing Does anybody want to help me with the last problem? Creative Audigy Platinum stop working if I install the KXdrivers. KXAudioDriver.kext is in the right (?) place with right attributes as far as I see, but the PCI card has vanished from the sound panel. Who can help me?

3.14r2 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There are different version of the kext - for Leopard, for Snow Leopard, for Lion. Make sure you install the right one.

eberardo pasquili-ausbergi Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yes, you are right! Apparently I misread the compatibility table, and now I think that leopard is not supported with 1.11 driver version. I put back the 1.3b version and it works, only, it is very lame since there is no midi or input support. Now this is a big problem because I would like to use it. Do you think I can upgrade to snow leopard without much effort? Can you suggest me a SL distribution that I can try and take advantage of the "knowledge" (so to say) that I got with the 100sh installs that I did with ideneb 1.4? Thank you.

3.14r2 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You can probably try running a retail SL. I've had a Xeon (P4 based CPU version) running retail SL with patched kernel. Not sure about your the VGA card though.
