Reveeen Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 How did the perian work out for you? I went to do the install on my P4R800VM and, well, I was kinda asleep at the switch, so to speak, it booted my test install that was on that hardrive (for another machine), of course it wasn't optimized, but it will run OSx. Now, I go to do the install, and it freezes, just after trying to detect a PS2 mouse, so I'm kinda thinking either it doesn't like the Pioneer DVD drive, or it doesn't like the mainboard. Any experience with this? I just figure I'll pre-load it on another computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoNeedsVista Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I have not experienced this problem but if you could explain some more of what you installed or didn't install. Also the perian worked woderfully solved all my problems thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 if you could explain some more of what you installed or didn't install. I could install nothing, just after the PS2 port detection the system lost the IDE controller, so the initial "boot" (from the DVD) completely stopped. What I plan on doing is pre-install with all the ATI options on another computer, then post install (when it wants to re-boot) I will switch that drive in, I figure that will work, because the P4R800VM will boot a "vanilla" OSx install pre-installed on a hardrive. I have no idea why this is so, but rather than fight, I am not above switching. Unlike some here, I have a wide variety of hardware, so this is not a "make, or break" situation. Being an "older fella", I try something, and if it doesn't work out, I like to *think* about it a while, then try something else based on the last results, rather than run head first into something, and get so I can't see the forest for the trees. The "plan" here too, is a small vacation for two weeks, so if I don't get back to you immediately, rest assured I am someplace warm on a beach, rather than looking out my window at 2 feet of snow.

WhoNeedsVista Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 That would probably work and it seems like you know a bit more about computers than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 i have this http://asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=...amp;modelmenu=2 with cpu intel core duo T2130 1,8 GHz and 1 gb rami running with -v mode and i see this: Still waiting for root device Not trying to butt in, but that is the same thing I am seeing here with an ASUS mainboard, with an ATI chipset. It appears to me that somehow the IDE controller is getting "lost". In my case I *think* a pre-install on another computer might be my answer. I'm wondering if shifting your drives in your bios to PIO mode might get things moving along? Of course, post install (on the re-boot) you might want to shift them back, or it will work like {censored}. I'm not sure about this one, I'm still *thinking* about it. Ok, it's Mar 1st, and I'm back slugging away at my ASUS POS. (I just stopped for a cup of tea, so I have no solution yet) What is happening here is the secondary IDE controller is taking a holiday, somehow it is not seen, or detected, by whatever we are installing, I have tried 4 releases, they are all the same. I am going to fool with it some more, but I have a motherboard, rather than a laptop, I *think* with a laptop (and maybe even here) a USB DVD drive might be an answer. A bit later: Primary IDE channel only? so, both DVD drive and hardrive are on the primary channel. I go to install, and my trusty keyboard dies?, than another won't work!, I grab a third, a $5.99 bust buy special, and I'm back in business. I'm all installed, but not re-booted, I don't dare, if it doesn't go it will get re-booted, about 6 re-boots should get it to the street. (remembering that I'm going to have to "fool" with an audio driver at some point, so tomorrow will be another day. Well, I lied, I'm in the middle of a tropical snow storm, and so I figured: why not? So it boots, the on-board network is not supported, and the sound is an ordeal (ADI 1888), runs good too, but at some point you have to say "I'm not pushing this heavy rock up hill". I have boards kicking around here that are an easy install, so I'm going that way, rather than this ordeal. This expieriment has drawn to a close.

WhoNeedsVista Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ok sorry for the long away time. Everyone who is having problems with install are you guys installing the right stuff for your setup because you cannot folow my tutorial exactly because I did this on an acer not Asus. But a pre install on another comp could work and the Asus laptops work with many other install discs than this. To the one with the Toshiba I have never seen an install take 8 hours but i have found out over many messed up installs that installing the core system first then installing the patches from inside osx helps.
