Kioo Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi robriderOnMyspac... I have been able to install "uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3" on M2N SLI Deluxe. Disable "Legacy USB device" in BIOS to support ps2. Else you can find ps2 driver for keyboard. PM me if you want mine kext keyboard. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesasone Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Just chiming in to confirm another successful install of OS X on this motherboard. I used uphucks 10.4.9 1.3 universal DVD. Specs are: 4200+ x2 2gb G.skill DDR2 Gigabyte 7600gt 256mb Installed on to an IDE disk. I used the latest kernel included with the DVD, which I believe is universal. Worked with out issue. Despite having trying both the forcedeth and forcedeth-nockd kext, I could not get my onboard networking to properly function. OS X would recognize both PHYs and give the correct MAC address, but would not recognize that a cable was plugged in. I eventually bought a NetGear GA311 as my onboard networking has been flaky from day one anyhow. I installed all of the nvidia drivers figurely at least one of them would work - I know for sure that both the Natit .1 and .2 seem to work, as well as the Titan kext. I am unsure if NVDA is working, I just noticed the mentioned three during start up. I am going to try to remove all but the Titan kext. Sound worked with included kext (Az-something or another). I installed the NTFS-3G kext, but it's absolute junk. I don't think this issue is limited to this board or release, sounds like a common complaint. I would suggest just skipping this. Create a FAT32 partition for swaping files between OS X and windows, if needed. On that note, although I'm not sure if it's related, I am having some trouble with disk utility. It occasionally seems to hang. I also have an NTFS partition that I cannot seem to unmount. I receive a message about it being in use, which as far as I can tell it's not. Other NTFS partitions unmount just fine, so I'm not sure what's going on with this one but the problem persists after system restarts. I think it may be SATA related. A few more disk related errors - on start up, I get a diskarb error - whatever that is. However it does not prevent me from booting into OS X, so ultimately no big deal. At shut down I get an error saying "IOATAController device blocking bus", which repeats about once a minute. Sometimes it wil get past this and shut down properly, often I will lose my patiance and power down the machine my self. OS X boots up fine the next session, so no harm done that I can see. Just curious to see if any other m2n-sli users are getting this error; if it's chipset related or what. Anyway, I think that about sums up my problems with this motherboard. For actual usage, it works just fine and is very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allowen Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I got M2N 32 sli deluxe mobo lan : not working audio : only stereo (with azalia.kext) 7600GT works with natit 0.2 silicon image sata controler : working nforce sata controler : works but not stable (system often crash when accessing ntfs partitions on nforce controled sata drives i got a second 7600GT card, i got to remove it from the computer or i get a kernel panic when loginwindow.app starts. installed on IDE first with uphuck 1.3 DVD installed missing kext (sata) cloned it to a sata drive using carbon copy cloner and added chain0 to my windows partition and boot.ini system is very slow to boot, i get a lot of usb errors (usbohci has found a transaction which hasn't moved for 5 seconds on bus 10......) but usb works fine when osx running. if someone manage to get osx run with 2 gfx cards plugged please explain how you do it i'm not looking for performance boost, just not to plug and unplug a card each time i want to switch system.
