Ashok0 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hi, I'm planning on building a Hackintosh this week with a Q6600. I'm debating if I should get a P35 chipset mobo. Has anyone had luck with P35 mobos? Most rave successes seem to be with the 975Xs. I was thinking of getting a abit IP35 Pro, or possibly a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 or ASUS P5K Deluxe/WIFI-AP.

olofd Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I've succesfully installed OSX86 10.4.8 on my GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 it installed and booted okey, but the CD-ROM (PATA), Ethernet, Sound needs patching. Usb working, firewire working. I installed yesterday, today I will try to get everything running. It seems after looking at the compatibility list that it is running like the P35-DS3R Same thing works/dosen't work. So i will try to install the same drivers that made the P35-DS3R running. I'll come back to you! //Olof Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60620-help-buying-a-p35-board-any-luck-w-osx86-abit-ip35-pro/#findComment-433527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
midimid Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Those who have had successful P35 installations, how exactly did you go about it? In my case, I have an Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi and with everything disabled except for the ICH9R (AHCI mode) and USB, I can't boot to the installer with uphuck 1.4i r3. Iget "waiting for root device" and the DVD drive then spins down. However, with uphuck 1.2 I can get through the installer format my HD and everything, but on first boot I get the error "mach_kernel not found." I'm thinking because it can't see the ICH9R? AFAIK, my only big big difference from what everyone else is doing seems to be that I'm using a serillel IDE -> SATA adapter for my DVD drive. Since uphuck does not support the JMicron IDE port, how is everyone else hooking up their DVD drive?
