Wild-Bill Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi everyone! Long-time lurker, first time poster. I got a hold of the JaS 10.48 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 and PPF2. It also came with the 10.49 updater. I successfully burned the 10.48 image with Nero. Upon booting to DVD, I see some errors pop up here and there, and then I get to the screen that says "Select Language". Only problem is, my USB mouse and keyboard will NOT work, so I can't select anything. Here are my specs: DFI Expert mobo AMD 3800+X2 WD 74 gig Raptor sata (with 15 gigs unpartitioned space right after the C partition for OSX86 WD 400 gig sata WD 160 gig (external USB drive) ASUS Radeon x1800xt Coolermaster Stacker case w/ side window and watercooling I read somewhere that someone got OSX86 working using the DFI Expert board, so I decided to give it a try. Can anyone help me to get the DVD to recognize my USB??!?! I'd really like to install this onto my main rig. I have a crappy spare box with an INtel Celeron and an Intel 865 mobo, with integrated graphics as well, but no DVD drive. I figured OSX86 would run loads faster on my main rig. Keyboard is Logitech, mouse is the Logitech Revolution. I do have a PS2 mouse and keyboard lying around, but I read that OSX doesn't play nice with PS2. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Mac Nerd Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 USB mice and keyboard will NOT work with OS X86 I used a USB to serial converter and my mouse worked fine. You could use a serial keyboard as well. It works fine for me. When you get OS X86 installed fully, USB will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild-Bill Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Ah ha. Ok, I'll give the PS/2 keyboard and mouse a try then. Do you think trying to install on unpartitioned space on my SATA drive is a good idea, or should I load it onto an external USB drive? I did read the part about having to go in there and select MBR or something to that effect. I just don't wanna hose my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, it might boot slower because it's USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
