ajohnson48 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Noobie here, has anyone had any sucess installing leopard on ECS 671-T mother board? I've got a core duo quad and I havn't had any luck I've been trying to dual boot with vista where I've tried an af formated partition and a separate hd. I've tried: UpHuck 10.4.9: Darwin Loads, writes a few files then restarts back to bios. Kalaway: Darwin loads and restarts back to bios. Brazilmac: gets to grey apple screen with spinning wheel, and goes no further. I've tried disabeling s.m.a.r.t I've trided disabeling the HD with vista, I've tried switching to ACHI My set up is sata for both hd's and IDE for DVD Do I need an IDE HD? I havn't made any adjustments to iso after I "found" them on the bay, do I need to make further modifications before I burn the iso? thanks for any suggestions aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHAWKs Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Since your Motherboard has a New SIS chipset "North Bridge SiS 671" "South Bridge SiS 968" not seen here you could try the Old tricks and add your DEV ID's to see if it would work you can find Old post about SIS chipsets .....Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajohnson48 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 i'm still reading through the forums about sis, but do you think the problem is that the osX install can't find the IDE controlled dvd after it's finished loading darwin? ?

FavleX Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Ok it's xmas then.. U have to discover the HW details of you device (dev and ID) usng a different os , Linux or win32.Later u must fill the plist of .kext and crossing fingers. On the forum there is more than one topic showing the procedure as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
