gabrigee Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah ! Got the Hardware and Leopard working with it !! I'm actually writing this from Leopard ! Crazy, I can't belive it's working that well. I used the Leopard flat image that I dd'ed from Linux ubuntu to a SATA disk. No DVD, since I'm still downloading Kalyway's. First thing is that I had to set SATA/ATA to compatible mode, (with the enanched mode, I was getting the "still waiting for root message") also the hard disk must be connected to the first sata port (1 or 2, 3 and 4 are not working). Second I had to mount the Leopard partition from Linux (forcing the hfplus mount, as non journaled) and then deleting the AppleIntelCPU extension (since I was getting the HPET message..., preventing Leo to boot). Now I'm looking for a partitioning tool to grow up my leopard partition... Any hints on that ? GParted (in ubuntu linux) can only shrink the partition, haven't tried partition magic yet.

gabrigee Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Update: Microphone input is not working. Time machine cannot find the IDE disk when it starts its scheduled backup. (I can, by the way select the IDE disk while choosing for the target device...) So the IDE disk is seen by the OS but Time Machine cannot find it when it start the scheduled backup oparation. Networking OK Audio OK (no mic input) USB OK DVD OK (burning OK, using toast) Firewire, not tested yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74774-asus-p5b-vm-and-leopard/#findComment-550442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryll Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Nice one Daryll, is the microphone input working too ? I don't use it, so I didn't even test it. Solved the problem of rippling monitor after waking up by using DVI port closer to motherboard.

bishopdante Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 my spec:m/b : Asus P5B-VM DO vga : GeCube ATI Radeon 2600XT 256 DDR4 ram : 2Gb Corsair Twin2x HDD : 500Gb SATA-II Seagate DVD-RW : IDE Teac DVD-RW DV516 OS : ToH RC2 10.5 installed using usb lite-on dvd-rw with Format and Make leopard bootable.iso and ToH RC2 iso. Got dual display working @ 1680x1050 and 1920x1080. That sounds very very sweet indeed. We're on ASUS P5B-VM DO QX6600 stock clock OCZ cheap vista upgrade RAM 2x 250GB Seagate Barracuda drives Pioneer DVR-212 Optical And it has been a nightmare getting it to boot the installer, we've had a bunch of images, and it hasn't been fun. We've been experiencing a few vague almost boots using SATA Pioneer Drive, and Kalyway. Hangs on boot from installer, "can't find boot disc on UUID address" bizness, occasionally some baud rate (very low) comms issues. We suspect that the issue is the southbridge controller being incompatible with the insaller boot. Going to try patching the installer with ICH8 kext. We're going to try using a USB external drive to boot, and perhaps mounting the hard disk over USB too to install onto. Apparently there is a Patch for ICH8 southbridge, PM for link, haven't got it handy on this mac. We're also going to give BrazilMac a go, since he used a P5K mobo to develop on. Any ideas about whether this is a good way to go? We are also planning on giving it a UNIX attack, using a DD command writing to the drive from an image to get the installer alive on a drive rather than a DVD, skipping the first 63 sectors of the image, and using GRUB as a bootloader rather than whatever is already on Kalyway. I get the feeling that a NIX approach might be favourable. Also, the EFI thing is clearly a good 'un, since that's true to the apple spec. Any help on this matter? We've got a partition on our drive which is 200MB, and comes up as EFI. What's it doing there? Any help most appreciated!! Feeling a bit Noob'd out.

Sailfish Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Security updates, QuickTime, Java and General Software have worked fine all along not requiring EFI. It is the OS updates that require it. 10.4.10, 10.4.11 and 10.5.1.

breakbot Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The on board graphics of the P5B-VM are not supported, I don't think any drivers exist. You will need to buy a cheapo nvidia graphics card to get full QE/CI. Check the Wiki for one that works.
