Finally i got Tiger working on my Medion Microstar (MSI) 6556-MT7 PC from MediaMarkt/Germany :D

It's stable and runs very smooth.

 

PC Specs:

 

CPU:

Intel Core2Quad E6600 2,4GHz

 

Mainboard:

Microstar MSI-7358 v1.1

 

Chipset: (Northbridge)

Intel Bearlake G33 Express /w Intel GMA X3100

 

Chipset: (Southbridge)

Intel ICH9R

 

Controller:

Intel ICH9R (SATA Ports 2/3/4/5 + 2x eSATA / 12x USB2.0)

Marvell 88SE6111 (SATA Port 1 / Primary IDE)*

VIA Firewire IEEE1394 VT6308

TI Firewire IEEE1394

 

Lan:

Intel 82566DC-2 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000*

3COM 3C905C-TX FastEthernet 10/100 PCI Card

Audio:

Intel HD Audio (Realtek ALC888 / 8-Chanal)*

(needs ALC888Audio.mpkg.zip / AzaliaAudio.pkg.zip to work)

Memory:

4x Swissbit DDR2 667MHz PC-5300 1GB

 

DVD:

Hitachi HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-H44 PATA (Master) /w Converter on SATA Port5

Hitachi HL-DT-STDVDROM GSA-H3N PATA (Master)

 

HardDisks:

Samsung 160GB SATA1 on Port2 (MacOSx86)

Seagate 500GB SATA2 on Port3 (WinXP SP2 + WinVista Ultimate)

Seagate 200GB SATA2 on Port4 (DATA)

BIOS Settings:

SATA Raid/AHCI Mode: AHCI

Onboard SATA/IDE Device: Enable

Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode: AHCI

ACPI Suspend Type: S3 (STR)

 

Working Out of the Box using MacOSx86 JaS AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 (PPF1 & PPF2) Image:

CPU=YES; ATA=NO; AUDIO=NO; FIREWIRE=YES; X3100=YES (NO CI/QE);

MEM=YES; SATA=YES; USB=YES; LAN=NO; SLEEP ON POWER BUTTON=YES;

 

Update with koolkal 10.4.10 Intel Combo SSE3 Only works without problems.

 

Had to install MacOSx86 under Windows/VMware Workstation 6.x because lack of IDE support

and i dunno have SATA DVD-Roms. No Problems at all.

 

Intel HD Audio (Realtek ALC888 at ICH9R) working with these drivers:

ALC888Audio.mpkg.zip + AzaliaAudio.pkg.zip (Stereo Out/No Input)

 

Intel 82566DC-2 Gigabit Lan are unsupported.

I'm using now a 3COM 3C905C-TX PCI Card, price: 3,00EUR

Had to install AppleIONetworkingFamily.kext from OSx 10.4.3

and deleting AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext to get working.

TCP/IP - DHCP manual settings.

 

The Marvell 88E8056 IDE isn't important for me.

I upgraded the PATA DVD-RAM Drive with an SATA-Adaptor.

Equip Converter IDE -> SATA Controller, price: 13,00EUR

 

And i need a new PCIe Graphic card.

Witch one is fully supported (CI/QE)? I have an eye on the 8800GTX. OK?

 

GREETS,

KAY

im confused what board that is...

 

upon looking the web, i found links which pertains to this pic

071002_q35mdo.jpg

Q35MDO (MS-7358)

 

however, i found no references of this board on MSI sites. anyhow, this board is strikingly similar to the more common G33 MSI boards

G33M-FI.jpg

G33M MSI Part No: MS-7357-010

 

prod_1676b44e591c8d76a40f978c7dbc0b34.jpg

G33M-FI

 

are those the same boards?

Sorry, but I didn't understand you. Did you installed it natively or via VMware?

I think that even if you got it to install via VMware, but i works very slowly.

 

I installed Windows XP via VWware as virtualmachine, and it worked very very slow...

live with 32Mb of RAM ))

 

So we're looking for solution to install & boot in natively and full compatibly with bios.

 

I've MSI P35 Platinum with BIOS v.1.5 (last, updated via Live Update 3)
