rlepage Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hey guys. I'm currently having major issues booting OS10 on my new motherboard. I've tried disabling ACPI, APIC, the PCI-IDE thing, SATA, fixing the RTC in the kernel, nothing wants to work. Config: MSI K9N Platinium SLI (nForce570-based) AMD Athlon64 3500+ single core, socket AM2 512mb RAM ( will upgrade, stfu ) 120gb IDE PATA drive for OSX, will buy a SATA {censored} for XP/Linux Video: nVidia 6200-based Sound: Live! 5.1 PCI (old school) tried the idlehalt, idehalt, blah. without cpus=1, it craps at the PCI thing, saying the reported cpus outweigh the actual cpus with cpus=1, it freezes at the cluster io buffer... thingy? Anyone got through this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlepage Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Normal Bumpage. Anyone got ANY theories? There's people that reported success with SLI AM2 motherboards... Which ones? I may well be able to get one of those, my Motherboard is still under store warranty ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorra Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I have almost the same configuration than you, I was able to install osx by vmware, and to use it by vmware, but I couldn't boot the osx partition at any time, it hangs when I try to boot the osx natively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlepage Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 ouchies. anyway, mods can close this topic, i managed to negociate the seller taking back the mobo and give me another one, that works this time. (i f***ing knew MSI was a waste of time and monies.) I'm getting a M2N standard. No need for SLI; there's four RAM sockets; 2 PCIE1, 1 PCIE16, 3PCI; SATA partially supported; and the important thing: it supposedly werks.
