NightSonic19 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Ok. Doesn't even reach the installer when I try. (Using Kalyway) Just reaches darwin part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 You need a SATA DVD drive plugged into Port 1 of the Intel SATA connector or an external USB DVD Drive to install. an IDE drive plugs into JMicron on Asus P5B and cannot be used for Installing OSX86. However IDE DVD Drive will work after install by installing JmicronATA.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSonic19 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have a SATA Drive now and I can install Tiger, but not sure about Leopard. It won't go past the darwin part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkcs Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Is that from booting from the DVD to start the install? Or booting into OSX after the install has completed? If it's from booting from the disc to do the initial install you may be selecting the wrong thing to boot with. It should be simple push of the enter key. Or it may be that your disc is bad or you had a bad download. If this is a boot after OSX has completed it's install it may be because you have chosen the wrong options during install. i had the same problem. either having freeze up with mbr chosen or that error message with guid. (after installtion) any help is greatly appreciated! my thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin_man_0 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Are you burning the Images as a nice slow speed (4x, 2x) ? I've read that burning it too fast causes problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSonic19 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I burned the DVD at the slowest speed possible and as for my BIOS settings I have everything as I read it should be(AHCI) and such and still no luck. Could it be my video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnb5500 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Doubt it's the vid card, I've installed many times with an unsupported vid card without problems, in fact I've never had a card that was supported OTB. I realize your using an SATA dvd drive but have you tried disabling the IDE controller in the BIOS as well. Also, what SATA port are you using for the DVD drive.

NightSonic19 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 So it's been a while since I've checked back here. Is my video card compatible or am I just going to have to order a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
