thesuffering Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 My system specifics: Asrock 939Dual Sata2, Uli Chipset onboard lan & sound AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 1GB DDR RAM Geforce 7300GS 120GB IDE HD (vista ultimate installed) 60GB IDE HD (blank, OSx86 will be installed on this one) Lite On DVD-RW LG CD-RW I tried leopard with this configuration, but it keeps getting locked up on the install, so here we go. I plan to use the Tubgirl 10.4.8 release, and according to this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry288297 everything should work fine, with the exception of the onboard lan & sound. Is there any way to fix this? If there is no way to fix this, Im not opposed to spending the $20 or so on a PCI soundcard and PCI LAN. any specific hardware you guys recommend that will work perfectly? any hints to ensure the install goes smoothly? sorry for all the questions, im new to all this Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84107-compatible-sound-lan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesuffering Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 tried installing last night, failed miserably. cant even get it to boot into the installation. it keeps stopping at "still waiting for root device" what am i doing wrong?

thesuffering Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 did some investigating while waiting for a reply here. the wiki states that the waiting for root device could be due to osx not seeing my optical drive. im a little lost here. i unplugged my vista HD completely, made the blank HD master. Unplugged the cd-rw, and have the dvd-rw as master. So only 1 hd, 1 optical drive. should the HD and optical drive be on the same IDE cable? if i do this just for the install, can i change it back later (HDs on 1 IDE cable, Optical drives on the other IDE cable) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84107-compatible-sound-lan/#findComment-598207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
