addigoldkante Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi Kazuma, i just found that you are having a very similar configuration to mine. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ Clock: 1802 MHz Cache L2: 512 Kb Socket: 939 Graphic Card: nVidia GeForce FX5500 The instructions i have followed were "dd tiger-x86-flat.img" to a seperate disk. Unfortuantely i am getting an error "Kernel unexpected kernel trap". - Which way have you chosen to get it installed? - Any special BIOS changes that need to be done? - Which startup parameters are you using? Thanks in advance and hopefully i can become as happy as you are with your OS X ;-) Regards, Addi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urc0re Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Same story on the MSI K8N-NEO FSR which has the same chipset as your ASUS. Still no SATA or Nvidia though. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi folks, maybe it's a better choice to install 10.4.4, if you can, because 10.4.1 it's quite old. This is my system configuration: - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2ghz, socket 939. System profiler says this: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 EST but, lol, that my processor is an AMD 3.7ghz However, my processor has a Venice core, so it has SSE3. - ASUS A8V-E Deluxe motherboard - ATA 8GB HD with 10.4.5 - SATA 160GB HD, I'm going to install 10.4.5 on it - A DVD burner - 512MB of ram - Graphics card: NVidia Geforce 6200 TC. I cannot run Nvidia.kext on 10.4.4/5. - Ethernet: (Integrated Marvell Yukon Gigalan doesn't work) + Realtek RTL8139D 10/100 PCI Card - Mouse and keyboard are both ps2 and work with no problems - Sound works good, but only the left channel. You can find information on system configurations supported here. See you soon, Sherry Haibara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
