mtotho Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 the more modern the better. I do believe ur gpu is supported, look here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78033 The ram is fine, and cpu is fine, and i do believe that is a well supported motherboarrd. Just search the forums, its easier than it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agent-squirrel Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sounds like badly burned .iso the missing file is a side effect of that. And the fact that it says its trying to boot over your network is probably due to this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtotho Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 when do you get that error? which version of the disc are u using. Are u installing on vmware or on ur actuall partition. At the screen in ur second picture type in "-v" but answer my other questions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythy Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 -v does nothing at all I'm afraid. I am trying to boot from the CD I have a blank HD I'd like it on. I have tried 2 versions, both are lepord 1 is iATKOS the other is kalyway_leo I burned them both with infra recorder.. .What software do you recommend i use to burn them?

SMF Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You need to try SEARCHING. The com.apple.boot.plist error is common and usually because your bios is not set to AHCI for your SATA/RAID controller (I believe you have an ICH9R on your motherboard). Here's at least some potential threads that came up quickly in search - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;hl=P5K+Deluxe http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;hl=P5K+Deluxe and this one might help - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=68698 SMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythy Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yea I totally didn't search I just figured waiting all night for help from you guys was the best way to go about it Actually I did search and its a common error with many causes and nothing works for me. CPUS=1 fails rd=cdrom fails ACHI is on and I re burned them many times. I guess I just cant get it to work on my p5k deluxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmoarena Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 have you checked your DVD's checksum? seems like your installer is corrupted. Again, make sure that your DVD drive is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
