verdant Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 haxi: do you realize that the guys just joined the forum, and he is posting intel related question in a nforce topic? Hi Mysticus, I did but I gather he has been using this thread's guide for iATKOS v1.0i R3......and so I offered some suggestions......not knowing what thread he should move his question to.....but am OK with you asking him to post in another thread as this is your thread..... :censored2: I will then delete my posts replying to his questions.....

You can check via Google with InsanelyMac as one search term and your MOBO model as the other......I can still help you if I am able to in another thread you post to...... thank you for your concern......I am pretty sure that Mysticus C* and myself will not fall out over this.......if he requests it, we can simply just delete our correspondence from this thread to tidy it up......

Yesterday was ok. I am not against being helped, and haxi giving you directions... in fact I encourage anyone to help each other, but if everyone discuss any issue in any random thread, it creates soo much mess... esp, for other newbie's joining the forum, and start reading... People usually tend to not read a lot, and when they see something, like in nforce topic, and although answers not relevant to their system (like your case) they want to try first... Not to mention, the amount of work given to this NFORCE thread and people start dicussions about How to install on say Ubununtu linux on a Sony vaio... How are we going to control the mess... I specifically said this in the very first post QUOTE 1 "Main purpose of the R3 project was to fix previous problems with the original release, so that people with nforce chipsets ...." QUOTE 2 "ALSO THIS IS AN NFORCE CHIPSET WITH INTEL CPUS ON IT SUPPORT TOPIC. IF YOU DONT HAVE NFORCE CHIPSET WITH INTEL CPU ON IT, DO NOT ASK FOR HELP, RATHER PM ME or ANY OTHER PERSON YOU LIKE YOU THINK THAT MAY HELP YOU, SO THIS TOPIC KEEPS CLEAN... BUT DO NOT MAKE PM AS A HABIT AS I M NOT ANYONE'S PERSONAL ASSISTANT. IF YOU PM TOO MUCH IT MEANS YOU DONT READ MUCH, SO I WILL IGNORE YOUR PMs" Well if you dont control the mess, topic goes out of focus, and becomes garbage... If topic stays clean, it gives better support, and more helpful. This is a big problem all over the forum... People create topics when they cant see an answer, or just post in random topics... USE GOOGLE! VERY EASY... in the search field just type "whatever your search subject insanelymac" for example: "Gigabyte 965P-DS4 insanelymac"... but like any newbie... you start knowing nothing, and jump on board on any topic you pick up (people usually pick up the most active threads as they give quick response).... dont think of it as me being an a$$, but in 2-3 months time you will start to understand what i mean...

CowGuy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have recently been trying to install osx86 iATKOS 4i on my gaming machine. But I have been running into the waiting for root device error. I got this error when I used to have an IDE DVD drive and unplugging my 2 SATA HDD's and trying to install on my IDE drive. So I decided I would try again since the new release came out. But I run into the same problem. But now I have a SATA DVD drive. I'm pretty new with osx86, but I did get a clean install on my acer laptop. I've tried all kinds of fixes but none work.

Reniro Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 BIOS Setting is on IDE ! Because i have onl IDE and RAID I choose Dual-Boot with "Acronis OS Selector 8" Great Program for easy-switching Sounds great with Nvidia 8600GT ! We will buy a new extra HDD for OS X too Then i will try it again Edit Signatur for other Members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried all kinds of fixes but none work. read post#1 carefully... no soft-raid works! no 2x nvidia gfx! 4 gb ram issue later! if you are not running the system in raid config, than most likely your nforceata driver does not have device/vendor ids of your pata/sata controller... (most likely new??) sata dvd drives has more trouble than pata dvds... that error also nothing to do with your dvd drive type either! it is for the hdds!

verdant Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is there no Chance to run 2 Graphic-Cards ?This is my Problem on my second pc From Post #1 in this thread ☻2 x NVIDIA GFX CARD (SLI OR SINGLE MODE DOESNT MATTER) DOES NOT WORK ON ANY CHIPSET AS OF YET... NO OFFICIAL OR PATCHED DRIVER SUPPORT AS OF YET!!! SO YOU HAVE ONE OPTION == TAKE ONE CARD OFF IF YOU WANNA RUN OSX ON THAT PC!! OS X may possibly work with an ATI GFX card + nVIDIA GFX card combination and/or with 2 x ATI GFX cards....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticus C* Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 2x nvidia = NO (driver does not allow it...) 1X NVIDIA + 1X ATI = POSSIBLE ? 2 X ATI (single mode not sli) = POSSIBLE ? possible means it doesnt give kernel panic but dont know how they would work? 2 x ati single mode works, but dont know about sli... if you check apple's web site for Mac Pro section, if you go to buy now/configure section, it allows up to 4 ati cards, but no multiple nvidia option is available yet (only single nvidia card is available)... for the ati part, it doesnt state crossfire either, so assuming all to be single cards? dont know the use of multiple single cards though (image/video editing?)...

Alright I took out 2gb of RAM took out my other video card took out my SATA HDD's and my SATA DVD drive and popped in an IDE drive, and I still get the still wating for root device.

Check that these are your BIOS settings...... EIST Function Auto Thermal Control Enabled Limit CPUID MaxVal Disabled Execute Disable Bit Enabled Virtualization Technology Enabled IDE 1 Controller Enabled IDE 2 Controller Enabled IDE DMA Transfer Access Enabled OnChip SATA Controller Enabled RAID Function Enabled (and SATA 1-4 RAID enabled as required) but this is probably "soft" rather than "hard" RAID, in which case it should be disabled.... ACPI Suspend Type S3 (STR) HPET Support Enabled Just to clarify are you getting "still wating for root device" message when booting from the install DVD prior to installing OS X or after OS X installation and booting from OS X HDD?

verdant Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Still getting it Since you have just IDE HDD and IDE DVDRW installed then try with OnChip SATA Controller [Disabled] and RAID Function [Disabled].....and IDE HDD as Slave and IDE DVDRW as Master obviously...... Another question what setting options does BIOS give you for the OnChip SATA Controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still get it, except it says "USBF: @.442 AppleUSB0HCI[CI0Xc71000]::CheckSleepCapabillity - OHCI controller will be unloaded across sleep" instead of complaining about phys nforce stuff.

Reniro Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i also have one question ! Which Updates can be installed without having a problem ? Sure, 10.5.4. wont work ! But the others ?? sorry for the bad imagesquality I have some Problems with my Logitech Mouse... I have the Apple Keyboard with cable... with 2 USB-Ports onboard. I also have the Logitech MX 1000. When the MX1000 is plugged in the USB-Ports on my PC, it doesn´t work. If its plugged in my apple keyboard-USB-Ports it works ?! At the beginning it was plugged in the Mainboard-USB-Ports, after a few minutes it sometimes get stucked... then it works for 2 secondes --> stuck. Maybe problems with the Mainboard-USB-Ports ?

Nemesish3d Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm wondering Reniro's question too. I've read that some people were able to use the regular 10.5.4 combo update from apple shown above without any problems. But does that also work for AMD? And how about the airpot update, since we do not have an airport device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticus C* Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 cowguy: what is your device/vendor ids for your sata/pata controllers? in windows open device manager/ide/sata/raid/ controllers sections... check each of the ide controller/details --> it should show a drop down menu, where you should choose hardware ids... once you get each of the ide/sata/raid ids, let us know: bcoz it looks like you do not have your dev/ven ids in the nforce ata driver... others asking about updates: have you tried my update package regarding 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 (link at the end of post #2 in page 1)? + modified update packages gets rid of fear of bricking in most cases (apart from bad bios issues, where you may need your old appleacpiplatform.kext) + updates regarding firmwares of your graphics card obviously not good idea... + if other options in update didnt show up as dangeraous in the front page of insanelymac, than they are usually safe...
