OK....

 

Try to turn the HDD S.M.A.R.T. option off in the BIOS. When I had it on I got the same message at DVD boot. If you didn't reinstall then give it a try. And sorry but could you give me a little bit specific info about your computer....

 

Intel Q6600+ @ Stock-Clock

Abit IN9 32X-MAX WI-FI (Nforce 680i-Chipset)

OCZ DDR2-Ram (2GB - 2x1GB - 800mhz)

Now 1x 40GB IDE-HDD (Seagate U Series 5 - ST340823A)

Gainward Nvidia 8800GT Golden Sample

Abit PCI-Epress Wifi-Card

 

Boot flag for DVD (Do not use it for OS):

nforce_core -x -v cpus=1 platform=X86PC

 

If you get the os installed, then use the -x, -v bootflag for it.

And don't forget to use the iAtkos v4i Installer :)

 

And the DVD must be master, and the HD slave!!!

And make sure to set the cable and the jumpers correctly!!!

 

Ill be up later

 

 

@zeus_hunt

 

This is where it stops everytime. I am wondering what the issue is... BIOS has been updated to the latest version.

 

I have ASUS M2N-MX

 

GeForce ™6100/nForce ™430

 

Have a GeForce 7600 GT PCIe

 

ADI 1986 HD sound

 

Serial and parallel ports are disabled.

 

 

 

I have tried ACPI 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and disabled .. same iss

Have tried both SATA and PATA drives as standalone drives...

 

DVD drive is PATA as slave.

 

Oh put your ACIP to 2.0, the DVD to master (don't forgt the pins on the DVD drive), turn HPET off, and ask someone about the CPU settings because I don't know how it is on AMD.

That's some good news!!!!

 

I have a ASUS WL-138G V2, perfect for OSX.....

Only the rev 2. works correctly so don't buy an other one!!!

 

sleep mode will work with the 10.5.3 Mystic vanilla kernel + system.kext, but instable, so I've got the 10.5.2 NForce Core EFI kernel from the iAtkos v4I DVD.

How do i use the kext file? (not an expert in OSX)

 

download the kext (driver) file, and download kexthelper (google it)

run kexthelper, drag and drop the kext to the listbox, write in your password and install.

after the message reboot

I have an HP Pavilion dv6110us, AMD with MCP51 SATA running iDeneb 10.5.4. The kext works great, considering it is what got this system up and running after a year of wishing.

 

Anyway, my kb & trackpad never worked right unless I connected USB mouse/kb first. It tends to hang at the message of "waiting for IOKit to quiesce". This must be due to the applePS2controller junk.

 

My system says "AppleNForceATA: found 0 units" throughout boot. It eventually loads to the desktop though. So, I read that if I move the meDevil kext from /System/Library/Extensions to /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins, things may work out good and get rid of the error. Things go ok if I boot with -f every time. If I boot normal, the system stops, apparently because it cannot read the hd anymore.

 

For now I'm just going to move the kext back to /System/Library/Extensions.

umm yeah, so copy that kext to system library extensions

than u can run /diskutily repair permissions

 

or under terminal

sudo su

{here your pwd}

chown -R 755 {that kext here}

 

or under terminal

 

sudo su

{here your pwd}

diskutil repairPermissions /

lady, you must fix permissions after -F boot {-F boot means "dont care what, load all extensions"} so if you have not correct perms it load only with -F, after correct it will load perfectly

 

MeDevil & zandera thanks for your replies i know you guys are busy so would wait patiently for the nforce driver to support raid function. mean while i have two issues . i have 3 sata devices 2 hdd seagate 80 gigs on raid 1.0/1.1 and 1 dvd drive lieton 2.0, i also have 2 ide devices 1 hdd seagate 200 gb primary master ide and 1 dvd sony primary slave threw jumper settings.

 

1. 1st problem pls reffer to my attachment Snapshot_2008_08_07_03_55_28.tiff

 

2. i get this error somthing like "SAM Multimedia Read Write Failed ......". it happens mostly if i have a dvd/cd in the drive is it normal / is it because of the media. i did try putting in the other test kext but didnt work

 

thanks for your time and patience

 

 

 

 

 

i used to have similar probs when booting from sata dvd and trying to install on ide hdd. it works for me if i boot from ide dvd to install on a ide hdd or vice versa on sata. hth

umm. that may mean that u have NTFS partition on thous drivez and no NTFS-3g installed or MacFUSE

 

 

found other thing.... for RAID it could not be MBR partition table soooo. MAKE IT GUID or win non mbr

hello friends,

i have a HP Pavilion DV6565EL:

 

AMD TURION 64 X2 TL-64 SSE3 SUPPORTED

HARD DISK WESTERN DIGITAL 250GB

CHIPSET NVIDIA nFORCE MCP65

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400M GS 128MB

WLAN BROADCOM BCM4311

LAN REALTEK RTL8211/8212

AUDIO CONEXANT CX20549 NVIDIA MCP65

 

I installed Leopard using iDeneb but Leopard does not start quickly but it stars only after 15 minutes of "still waiting for root device".

I have installed all Nvida nForce chipset drivers, the older and TEST version but Leopard start only after 15 minutes.

 

So to solve this problem I think is necessary install:

-NVIDIA GeForce nForce Chipset Fix

-NVIDIA SATA Controller

I saw this driver in DEVICE IDENTIFICATION of last Jas Leopard RElease (10.5.4).

 

What do you think?

may someone help me please?

 

I can't wait every time 15 minutes to make start Leopard....

 

It is absurd...

 

Medevil, Help mep lease....

 

This might sound silly....

 

I managed to speed up the boot time by switching my laptop power off and then on again, this seemed to re-initialise the detection of devices.

 

Could you try this and report back?

 

I've got the MCP 65 chipset.

I have installed the MAC OS on the secondary SATA channel.

 

Verbose mode boot reports the following:

AppleNForceATA: warning: phy connection failed. status=0xe7229f83

AppleNForceATA: warning: phy connection failed. status=0x0000000

 

MeDevil does this make any sense?

I have a NVRAID setup with 2x512GB and of course OSX can't read those. I just want to get rid of the annoying errors I get every time I boot. Is there a way to make the driver ignore these drives all together?

 

yes... remove sata chanel where theyre hanged on from info.plist in kext

I tried to inject this driver in the Kalyway 10.5.2, and I realize that it is already in >_< .

But I still have "Still Waiting for root device" error, is it the HD who provoke this ?

Are all the SATA HD supported ? Mines are Samsung 320Go Spinpoint and Samsung 750Go Spinpoint F1, is it bad ?

 

Thanks -_-

Thanks :blink:

Read first post in this thread.... And anyhow u can have a "chocolate cookie" instead of hdd from a "BIG WELL KNOWN Co." its just a question of controller chipset type.

if its listed o first page it works.

if not listed u can try add your chipset devid to kext. dont ask how. its writen here.... many times.

And yes all sata HDDs are supported. as i wrote thing is in controller.

but maybe there will be problem in far future {not to far} with 2-4 TerraByte

Hi

DVD is Ok

I installed in the laptop but I have trouble with video

I only could see half part of the screen

 

The worst part is when I tried to go back to XP

Impossible !!!

 

Inclusive, Windows can't recognize the partition table

I had to ERASE ALL DISK and install from scratch Vista (Yes I move to Vista U64SP1)

 

I don't know what is going to with partition

 

 

I will try today again
