How to get Leopard running on internal IDE drive on Gigabyte GA965P-DS3?

[chrisss]

Hello out there, this is my first posting on this board, and as well is my knowledge of Hackintosh

I hope my questions are not so noob-ish, but despite reading much on this forum I didn't find out if my preferred setup is even possible....

 

My setup is as follows:

- Gigabyte GA965P-DS3

| |

| +-- IDE: internal HDD

| |

| +-- IDE: internal DVD

|

+-- USB: DVD-RW

|

+-- USB: external HDD

 

 

First attempt:

Using TOH 10.5 (RC2?) booting on internal DVD fails (waiting for root device) - but no problem, fallback to external DVD works.

 

2nd:

Booting on external - setup loads and I'm happy like a child - until I notice that I can't choose my internal IDE HD as target

 

3rd:

get my USB-Drive back and dedicate it to Leopard

boot -> choose device -> create HFS+ Partition with journal & case sensitive -> installs fine (with some 'issue')

 

So after installing it I reboot and chose with F12 to boot from external HDD but the next thing I see is grub loading from my internal disk.

 

 

First requirement for me is to get Leopard running. My USB-Drive is loud as hell so I'd prefer to get it working on my internal IDE disk.

 

I think I need to patch to get the JMicron working to see my drives - am I able to boot from it?

 

So my dream would be:

- install on USB-Drive

- patch JMicron kext (is this right or will it lead me to nothing?)

- clone to internal disk

- be happy

 

But I don't have any clue how to do this to get a correctly booting Mac-Installation so help would be appreciated

 

THANKS A LOT!
