identity Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 native install installs properly but having problem with hardware support my motherboard igpu pci usb are not detected and i get restart message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmetal Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 then the only way really would be to start up windows or linux (whichever one you are using to virtualize osx) and add vmware to the startup menu. but that means it'll take twice as long to boot, but it'll work..

identity Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 i tried that method but i can run only jas 10.4.8 with it & while i have mac 10.5.1 amd also which dont run properly it stucks after the gui screen appears and the language selection message doesnot appear but in native boot it gets installed but having those problems mentioned (both jas 10.4.8 mac 10.5.1 also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

identity Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Sound (ADI1986a) works with AppleAzaliaAudio.kext(only 2ch output), SATA works with AppleNForceATA.kext(but, Read Only), IEEE 1394 & etc. works fine. But, Lan doesn't work. [onboard VGA untested.] this is what i found in hcl for jas 10.4.8 which i have installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
