dex100 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ok so i decided to i wanted to dual boot osx86 and after a few problems (my main drive is a sata2 250gig so osx wouldn't pick it up, so I had to pull out my old 40gig ide drive) I finally was able to run OSX, now osx doesn't even see my built in sound card or ethernet (so mobo problems basically) I'll list out my specs AMD Opteron 144 @2.6ghz ASrock s939 dual sata2 motherboard seagate 250gig sata2 hard drive+ Maxtor diamond max8 40gig IDE hard drive LG dvd burner XFX 7600gt xxx seasonic s12 thats about it. Is there some file I have to configure or some sort of driverish thing i need to download? sorry I'm an OSX noob, had a bit of experience with Linux so that might help abit any help is greatly appreciated, I wanna get my OSX fully up and running. (Also is there any way to get OSX to see my sata2? I wanna have a shared music and videos place were both windows and osx can save files to and I already have a partition and everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 In order for someone to help, you need to provide the brand and model of your ethernet and sound: ethernet - like Realtek 8189 or Broadcom 5308 sound - like Realtek 882 or Sigmatel 9200 or Soundmax 1981 Read your manual or review the website for your motherboard for the info.

Rammjet Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think you are out of luck. I know of no driver patch for the ethernet. You can try the following for audio, but I doubt it will work: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callysto Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 forcedeth.kext or the forcedeth-nockd.kext may work for your LAN I use Realtek ALC8201CL extenal PHY and that works with forcedeth-nockd.kext you just need to add your VEN_ID and DEV_ID to the Info.plist in the .kexts Contents folder SEE: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=12933 for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
