Philoo Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hello, I also have an Asus P4P800-VM motherboard and have never had this kind of warning/error - 10.4.6, 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 all installed fine. I do not have an internal Dvd drive, so I boot on my external USB drive - this may be one of the reasons why it works here and not on your PC. Otherwise, try to use use the default BIOS parameters and see if it changes anything.

the_omega_se Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 No, doesn´t work... F**K! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41998-asus-p4p800-vm-and-unable-to-find-driver-for-this-platform-acpi/#findComment-301108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocopico Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 try playing around with other acpi settings in your BIOS if this doesn't work then start switching off devices one by one to see if this helps ... e.g. try to start with minimum config and then start enabling one device at a time to see what is causing the prob. i remember i had problem installing 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 on a asrock p4p800 like motherboard 10.4.6 did the trick for me but i would give a try on 10.4.8 with the patch called "775DualVstaPPF" and actually has the VIAATA driver in the installation DVD.

the_omega_se Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks for your help! This morning, I´ve tried to install OSX on an other system, but i got the same error message. So i think the iso is not ok. I will try it with another version of osx an tell you later about my experiences...

the_omega_se Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Ok, i´m one step closer to OSX... I can boot now from the DVD and the installation process starts without any problems. The installation itself is also totaly ok! BUT after the restart of the PC, osx does not start! :pirate2: "USB caused wake event (EHCI)" Edited February 14, 2007 by the_omega_se Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41998-asus-p4p800-vm-and-unable-to-find-driver-for-this-platform-acpi/#findComment-302969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have the same MOBO, same processor and I didnt have any problems whatsoever. I've Installed 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 without any troubles. you could try to, disconnect any USB device you have, disable USB2 support from the MOBO bios, or press F8 while booting OSX and then type "-x -v [ENTER]" at prompt (try this first). The '-x' flag stands for safe mode, the '-v' for vervose....
