vincente Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Greetings, I have been trying in vain to get OSx86 up and running on an ECS K8M800-M2 motherboard. I have checked the HCL and there was a report that this MB was working properly with a 10.4.6 installation. I am trying to load the Jas 10.4.8 installation and I can bring up the installer, run the Disk Utility and format the disk, select the optional configurations, and proceed through the entire installation. However, the system will not boot after the installation. (I am installing again to actually capture the errors messages). I suspect that there is a specific configuration that I am not selecting. I have had the best results when I selected both the AMD and Intel configuration options. If anyone has Jas 10.4.8 running on this MB, please let me know your magic configuration. Thanks in advance, Vincente Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39530-jas-1048-on-ecs-k8m800-m2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincente Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I forgot to mention, this is not a dual boot system. I have a single HD with one large primary bootable Mac partition.

Coffee_Bean Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Try turning off legacy USB support. I have the same motherboard with a successful installation.

Nickhamm Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Not to dig this up from the grave, but I had a similar problem on both AMD and Intel machines and found out that it was because the OS 10.4.8 disk utility formats the drive for EFI partitions. The only was around this is to partition it instead of doing a format and make it one partition on the partition tab of the disk utility. Then installing it should work and it should boot. Alternatively, you could use a disk utility from an older version of Mac OS.
