Reanimation_LP Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813157115 I'm looking to get that board, a E4500, and 2GB of DDR2 RAM, to replace my aging SSE2 based P4 board in my main PC. I'm also interesting in running Leopard. :3 Out of curiousity, has anyone used this board? Gotten any results from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macshiba Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have that motherboard, an E2160, and GB of DDRII 667 RAM. The only build that worked for me was Leo4All. I had to use AppleHDAPatcher v1.20 and the ALC662.txt Linux dump from this site to get the sound working. Also, I only was able to use one core, or else my ethernet would die after 5 minutes after boot time, using both a PCI card, and the onboard LAN. Not sure how to fix that.

noroom Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi, I saw a leopard moving. Install method: Kalyway. CPU : Core2Duo E4400 M/B : 4coredual-sata2 Memory : DDR2 800 1G×2 LAN : onboard audio : onboard VGA : Geforce 5200（AGP) HDD : 80G(IDE) Drive : LG (IDE) Check boot_efi_mbr. Without vanilla,Drivers. Drivers are introduced after leo install. Lan driver is viarhine-rel.tar.gz(ver.10.4.8)(See X86 HCL. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...L_10.4.8#ASRock ) Audiodriver is ALC888. VGA driver is NVinject ,0,1,5-Leo.zip. No problem is the installation.Boot from the Hdd. Thanks, noroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macshiba Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Actually, on the 4CoreDual-SATA2 which I have, Kalyway will not boot, but it could be my IDE drives, or other problems, but the only build I've got working is Leo4All. As for the Audio, it's not ALC888, it's actuall ALC662, and the only way to get it working is with a linux dump and AppleHDAPatcher v1.20. It works great, EFI + 9.2.0 Kernel, no Vanilla, even though my E2160 supports it, it won't boot for some reason. Also, the onboard ethernet will stop working after random times using the Via Rhine II from above, the only fix so far is to boot with the "cpus=1" flag at boot. There are some USB and PCI cards that are said to have legit mac drivers, one of which is a Linksys WUSB54GC, which you can find at Walmart.

noroom Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Actually? Why ? I can see Leopard moving. Install method: Kalyway. Boot from the Hdd No problem is the installation. No problem in the network. Do you use another router or the hub between a router and a PC? There is possibility of the problem in it if you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr0nic Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 After countless hours, finally got this board fully stable and working. This is the only way i got it working MB= 4coredual-sata2 rev. 2 bios= 1.9 **USED PURE IDE BOTH HD AND DVDRW** Distro: IPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Options: Kernel = 9.5.0 Voodoo Chipset = VIA (it is the universal 1 for many other chipsets) Ethernet = VIA Rhine Sound = Didn't bother with onboard sound since i used external sound. Notes: I didn't choose any video kexts because that was the option that kept giving me trouble. I have a GeFroce FX 5200 AGP 128MB and the way i got it working is by not selecting any kexts at install, and using NVKUSHcomplete package after install and it worked great! I tried to update to 10.5.7 and bricked it!! so i stayed at 10.5.6 and upgraded kernel to 9.6.0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
