sulfo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi all, i tried to get osx working natively on my machine: AMD 64 3000+ (Venice) AS Rock 939 Board with ALI chipset 1 GB Dual Channel RAM however i just get it to run in VMWare which doesn't exactly satisfy me... Since I just can't get it to work natively i thought of maybe the chipset being the problem... Has anybody successfully installed osx natively on a amd 64 machine with ALI chipset? If yes: how? If no: buy a new mainboard? is osx86 worth it? i love osx on my powerbook but i'm not sure whether the osx86 "beta" is worth buying a new mainboard... thx!

macgirl Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'll wait for the no-beta release. I also have a PowerBook, so using OSX86 is just for the fun right now, but surely when the Graphic Card works at full capacity and the programs I use most be in Intel or Universal Binaries you bet I use OSX86. Did you try using the AppleGenericATA with your chipset?

sulfo Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Did you try using the AppleGenericATA with your chipset? yeah just 5 min ago... it boots until i get a blue screen with the mouse cursor, then nothing for 10 min... i assume it stalls while loading the log in menu... seems i'll have to wait for a more final release before i can run osx natively on my x86 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5711-socket-939-ali-chipset/#findComment-36108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 If you boot with -v (verbose option) you see at which point it stalls. I bet for Waiting for root bla bla error.

sulfo Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 ok today i tried booting it again: i booted with -x -v it stalls a long time on: [...] localhhost mDNSResponder: mDNSPlatformSendUDP sento failed to send packet on InterfaceID 0180860 lo0/0 to 224 [...] skt 9 error 65 (no route to host) 1642277454 [...] and then after about 8 minutes loads the gui but then it seems to freeze (i waited 15 min if it would finally boot the logon) same if i just use the bootflag -v alone, so no safe mode... got an idea? greetz tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5711-socket-939-ali-chipset/#findComment-36579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
