Paranoid Marvin Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I finally got Mac going on my PC, but I am still left with a few problems: 1. SATA has to be disabled in the BIOS or the system won't boot at all. 2. Sometimes it takes ages to boot, or hangs on the blue screen and has to be rebooted. 3. Wireless isn't working (ok, I know there's no working drivers for the rt61 yet, but I thought I would say) The specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 (2ghz) Abit LG-95C - 945GC/ICH7 Nvidia 7100GS (works 100% - QE/CI with Natit) 2 Seagate Barracudas (SATA and PATA) PATA DVD drive (brand-less, but works fine) Belkin F5D7000 mPCI wireless card This problem with the SATA is really bugging me. I have Vista, Ubuntu and XP installed on the SATA drive, but I have to disable it on the BIOS or I get a kernel panic on boot. Any help greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62818-just-a-few-small-problems-left/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hmm, maybe you could try removing the SATA system files from OSX so that it simply ignores that drive. Remember to clone your system before doing such wild changes, though! Good luck, hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62818-just-a-few-small-problems-left/#findComment-444846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the kernel panic, it says something like "Primary IDE disabled", which is really not what I want! Why is this happening?
