bencousens Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Got the install going. Now I get a GRUB Boot Error 17. I know this is some kind of partition error. How do I fix this? I'm not attempting to dual boot; I've installed OS X on a freshly formatted partition with HFS+ and MBR.

Mysticus C* Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Read post#1046 it applies to you too... you must have either problem with GRUB (linux problem) or you misconfigured your partitioning, i dont have experience with grub as much, so no help in that... unless you boot off the hdd directly setting it up as first hdd in bios to boot from...

Anyway: I have an SSE3 processor, but out of frustration I installed the SSE2 kernel (obviously it wouldn't boot), then erased the drive and reinstalled with SSE3; all boot errors fixed themselves!

bencousens Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok - problem. Installed Kalyway update, didn't restart, installed graphics package, left all as default as per your recommendation, restarted. Let it restart twice, *now* it loads Leopard, then when the bootscreen is finished loading the screen goes black and monitor goes to Power Save. Clearly a graphics error. Is it rectifiable?

Mysticus C* Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 have you choosen your nvinject? it says, do not change the default setting doesnt mean do not choose gfx settings at all, default settings are main things, you need to choose the additional extras for your hardwares... you can fix things but that requires going into safe mode, i dont think you are at that stage yet? so full reinstall? I bet you didnt read my message above for readin post#1046 regarding making 3 partitions and the reason behind it? you have a lot to read/understand before you keep doing guesswork... Ok - problem.

nvid1a Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 thanks dude ( mysticus ), i understand why you told me to do 2 partitions exactly the same ill keep that in mind. i followed the update part of the guide with success except for the gfx update which didnt make my 2900xt work, but looking here in the forum i followed another tutorial using natit and other stuff and it worked perfectly the GB of VRAM is detected and i have hardware acceleration on core image and full resolution of my monitor of 1440x900, still i cant figure why mac osx has locked 75hz in 1440x900, my monitor can handle it in windows at least but its just a detail no worries with that. next of all this i enabled my internal motherboard audio and it worked perfectly i just turned on inside the bios then boot to osx and voila i have perfect output, but not input, but thats another detail that im not very worried about for now. im very happy with this improvement made to my desktop system i own a macbook white and i always thought to use osx on my desktop system, i tried long time ago with the jas tiger but no luck that time. anyway i appreciate your dedication and time to answer and explain this to finally make it work. very much thanks!

Mysticus C* Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 glad to hear that you made it work, just curious if you have choosen the 2900xt driver or not? when you were doing the gfx update part (in customize window of the gfx update)? bcoz the driver was in the gfx update package had to be selected in order to work... did you do it? also another tutorial? as far as I remember I did the 2900xt tutorial as well thanks dude ( mysticus ), i understand why you told me to do 2 partitions exactly the same ill keep that in mind. i followed the update part of the guide with success except for the gfx update which didnt make my 2900xt work, but looking here in the forum i followed another tutorial using natit and other stuff and it worked perfectly the GB of VRAM is detected and i have hardware acceleration on core image and full resolution of my monitor of 1440x900, still i cant figure why mac osx has locked 75hz in 1440x900, my monitor can handle it in windows at least but its just a detail no worries with that. next of all this i enabled my internal motherboard audio and it worked perfectly i just turned on inside the bios then boot to osx and voila i have perfect output, but not input, but thats another detail that im not very worried about for now. im very happy with this improvement made to my desktop system i own a macbook white and i always thought to use osx on my desktop system, i tried long time ago with the jas tiger but no luck that time. anyway i appreciate your dedication and time to answer and explain this to finally make it work. very much thanks!

nvid1a Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 yeah i followed the tutorial selecting the ATI Radeon 2900 XT and Pro package, but when i rebooted the OSX just after the apple screen the screen goes to a unknown grey with some blue or purple pattern that repeats itself in rectangles as far as i saw. so in the guide of the HD radeons appears to describe this screen and its due to two .kext part of nvidia gfxs that loads at start up, so i eliminated both of them to delete the extensions.kext and the .com.apple on caches after but that weird screen still appears. then i use that tutorial i mention and it worked straight on the first attempt.

parm289 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 are you able to go all the way to installer window? how do you know your hdd is not recognized?also are you sure you have iatkos r3? and where are screen shots of your problem? where is your boot process stuck what is the real problem? if you dont describe properly we cant help you... I understand that I'm not providing enough information. I'm sorry. As always, my specs are in my sig. I have a few pictures (sorry for the quality): Now, no matter what flags I use, I get the errors pictured above. If you can't read them, just tell me and I'll post the text. Right now it seems like my hw is not supported...

Kilopopo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 @Kilopopo: huge files sizes freezing usually happens bcoz of 4gb memory, i suggest you to take out 2gb, and run your pc with 2gb left inside, and test the same things again... and toast on some nforce mobos has trouble burning you may need to find another software, DvP had same issue (report what software you are using DvP),he then changed the software, working fine for him now... it must be related to sata drivers i guess? and do the same tests again, and report back... good luck... Hey Mysticus using the 2gb only fixed my huge file size freezing. will there be a fixed later on so that i can use my 4gb of memory? also is there a kernel flag for using memory thanks.

parm289 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 @Kilopopo - did you use mysticus' tutorial to install leopard? I see you have a similar motherboard and HD (assuming yours is SATA of course) to mine - I have a regular P5NSLI, while you have the P5N-E SLI. did you use iAtkos r3?

Thanks, and sorry for asking so many questions. i think most likely your problem is caused by linux? if you dont have too much too loose, i would suggest completely wipe your hdd, and start reinstalling one by one... and boot of the dvd once you wiped everything, and go to utilities/disk utility and make the appropriate partitioning scheme! according to your liking... make sure you first plan how you want to use your hdd... like how many OSs you will use (windows linux osx etc..) and decide to choose partitioning and partition formats based on that... and make fresh install with iatkos first, then you can continue installing other OSs one by one... i would suggest; osx, windows, linux last... @kilopopo: I dont know of a fix about 4gb issue, might be related to nforce, might be 64/32 bit issue vise versa... i dont think i m able to make a fix for this kind of thing... but will ask some other people... there is a flag to be able to use for memory and I mentioned it some posts back... it is maxmem use search the topic to find out..., later i may add it to the post#2 for frequent problems section... good luck...

big_man_tree Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, so im new here, i just installed iatkos 10.5.1 r2 right now on a PATA, after a few tries, anywho i cant upgrade to r3 yet, i dont have proper internet connection, connected to wireless through an open netowrk, downloading takes forever, anyways i tried to go throuh as many posts as possible but 54 couldnt make it thoruh it all yet, anyways was just looking for someone who could point me in the right direction to getting my wireless card to work if possible, its a d-link dwl g520 rev. b, the chipset is atheros and i believe it is ar5212, its 2 am had a long day working and what not so ah, just hoping for a link to a driver if there is a driver and i can work on installing it my self, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87901-nforce-chipsets-how-to-install-leo-easy-and-fast-with-iatkos-v10i-r3-nforce-edition-or-kalyway-1052-dvd/page/43/#findComment-712046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, this is chipset discussion not the individual hardware workaround... known facts are written on the post#2, if info is not there, you have to search through IM forum, not this topic... This topic is mainly for installing OSX (iatkos R3 in this case) to nforce chipsets. Individual hardwares if known, is mentioned on the post#2 already. If not mentioned, like i said, search through the forum... @kilopopo: glad you are able to make your own decisions without messing up like others. But do not talk like I didnt follow and did it with my own experience to newbies, as it will only lead them to make their own judgements in their first attempts, hence will make life a lot more diffucult for people who are trying to help! Whatever you did on your own, I guarantee you it is 99% is the same as the guide, so mention like you did on your own, but it was same or similar to guide. Unless you want to open up your own topic and give your own suggestions. I m not telling you this to show off my skills, but to show you what will happen (already some people not following the guide and they are wasting huge amount of space from the beginning) in the future for the topic, and people who wants to help. The guide is out there with the MUST-HAVE selections for not just newbies but for osx to work correctly on nforce chipset! When the guide is followed, it will work 99% of the time, if correct hardware is in place, and correct partitioning is done. Also I m not the one making drivers here. I m just collecting information together for people to conveniently find and use it. Therefore, your 4gb issue is out of my focus right now, and I dont really know what causes it exactly, but my guess is drivers are not correctly written to work in 64 bit mode! bcoz large files issue doesnt exist in 32 bit systems i think?, and if drivers written in 32 bit form that would make sense.
