Jadedknight Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Has anyone got any version of Mac OS working on these chipsets? I am trying to get Leopard installed but it's nearly next to impossible. I have some information to share as I have been researching about them, but I am new to this so I hope there is someone more experienced who can help us out. Ok first I was able to boot into the Kalyway DVD. This image actually recognized my SATA HD which is a Seagate Barracuda variant I believe. I was able to properly format my partition in the a journaled one. The problem with the Kalyway DVD is that it always hangs on the install, it never gets past say 15%. Now the iATKOS DVD with PPF2 R2 boots nicely, it is much faster than the Kalyway image but it does not recognize my SATA HD. I believe this has something to do with the ATI chipsets. Now if iATKOS works so smooth, it may have a chance of actually installing. The question is how to we merge the functionality of the two images? The ability to read SATA HD's on the ATI RS400/200 chipset from Kalyway needs to be somehow implemented into the iATKOS image. Would this just be transferring a series of Kexts? I am not sure, maybe someone can help me. Note: I'll be trying the ToH DVD next.

Lactobacillus P Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Yeah, I am wondering wether my ATI chipset will work, not a lot of information on ATI chipsets. Here's mine.

freekz Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've got the D101GGC board. If you are using version 312 of your BIOS you should be fine to install OSx86. I've tried using 313 and found that there are alot of problems. Anyways, for Tiger I've always been using JaS 10.4.8 with all of the PPF's applied. If you are looking into Leopard I would recommend iATKOS, but make sure that it has the PPF applied, otherwise it will restart when you try to boot the DVD. With iATKOS you need to make sure that you install the no-HPET kernel, do no check the stock ACPI, and install the 8139 driver for you ethernet driver. you can also install the EFI emulator. The built in Video card probably wont work, but I am using a Geforce 5200, which work well. If you have any problems feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
