I'm waiting for a decent HCL to see what works and what doesn't!! I'm also waiting for a good DVD.

Tiger is starting to get really, and I mean REALLY sluggish on my ancient Dell, so maybe I should wait till I finish building a new core 2 computer to make the move really special. I don't want to disappoint myself by running Leopard on this PC.

I was able to do a backup of my Tiger setup yesterday, so I tried to install Leo (ToH iso). I only ended up with a broken OS X because Leopard wouldn't boot at all, I guess I'll have to wait. I was able to get past the boot loaderbut I then all I got was a screen telling me to restart my computer with a nice kernel panic message in the background. Anyway, it's fine with my 10.4.10 for now.

After a long absence, finally got Leopard working on my new system.

Works flawlessly, for the most part, with the exception of working SATA support, so DVD burning is also out of the question (panic). I haven't noticed anything yet, other than possible issues with the way my nForce kext is accessing my PATA drive. Other than that, really enjoying it. :)

 

2.4GHZ Intel QuadCore Q6600

Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus

4Gig 800MHZ RAM

BGF nVidia 8800GTS 320Mb's + Full QE/CI

Linksys 10/100TX NIC

320GB SATA HDD

120GB PATA HDD

 

So yeah, if you can get together some hardware that more or less supports it (ie, most Tiger-supported stuff), then you people shouldn't have too many issues with it.

It looks to me that people have gotten tiger and leopard working on p35 boards such as ABIT and GIGABYTE and with an 8800GTS as well as a SATA HDD. I have all of these components which leads me to believe that i can run both very well but the only problem is that i havent seen anyone install with an IDE DVD Drive, i always get the "waiting for boot device" error when booting from CD. works fine in VMWare but cant boot after installation in that. im going to buy a SATA DVD drive later and give it a go. when i get some money. i have seen a guide on here for installing JaS 10.4.8 with an IDE Drive but i was unsuccessful. until i get a SATA drive then no i havent tried any...:censored2:

How did you guys get the Geforce 8 series working? Does it work out of the box? Or is there a driver I would need to install? I have an 8500GT.

 

I don't know about the 8500GT specifically, but I know I had to at least add my DeviceID into the GeForce.kext, just so I wouldn't kernel panic on launching the GUI portion of the install. Yours might be the same way. If you can, try to do the BrazilMac method (which can be found on forums.osx86scene.com), that way you can play around with the kexts until things work.

 

As for QE/CI, that should be usable with NVInject, I believe. You might want to search around though; there's an entire GeForce8 thread in the Drivers subforum! :(
