Oboema Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oke i have a DG965WH motherboard with a x1950xtx graphics card, this weekend i will receive a sata disk where i can play around with. i will try the thing you mentiond an post my results. The only differ of our mobo's is the chipset Q965 for you and G965 for me. I only can find that the q965 has AMT (Active Management Technology) the G965 hasn't got that function.

Oboema Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Good morning, I've tried to boot the kalyway and iatkos dvd's. BIOS defaults loaded, one new sata drive connected to port 0. bios default is raid so i didn't changed that. after some loading the wel known "still waiting for root device" is displayed. Am I seeing some thing over the head, in dutch thats the way we call it. Am I missing something ? gr Oboema edit; i think i need a S-ata dvd drive maybe that will do good, I'm also tired of those big flat ata kabels !

hockeyman96 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks for the info. I was finally able to boot and get into the disk utility. In the tutorial, you mention to flag the second partition. Should I be formatting it with 2 partitions? Should I split it evenly between the 2? Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, What where those hurdles ? And on what config are you running osx ? like which dvd drive( sata/pata ) and SATA or PATA hard drive and in which master/ slave config ? maybe nice to know. I'm still not past the sill waiting for warning. Next week i will put some time in it and maybe i buy an other dvd drive gr Jaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyman96 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm using kalyway 10.5.1 and I was getting the still waiting for root device myself. You have to use a video card that is compatible. Check out the wiki for a list of compatible cards. I got the nvidia 6200. I also had to use a sata dvd and hard drive. Once I got those setup, everything else went exactly as aliab says. I used master for both dvd and hard drive. I loaded the optimized settings in bios and also upgraded to the latest bios from the intel website. Good luck with your setup.

Oboema Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I also had to use a sata dvd and hard drive. Do you know which brand/type of sata dvd drive ? I use an ati x1950xtx video drive i think that isn't the prob. gr Jaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyman96 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Do you know which brand/type of sata dvd drive ? I use an ati x1950xtx video drive i think that isn't the prob. gr Jaac Its a compusa brand multi format dual layer dvd burner. I'm not sure if it really matters what brand it is. http://wiki.osx86project.org/ for a list of compatible components. They dont list dvd drives so whatever you have is probably fine. I was even able to use an ide drive that I connected to an ide-sata converter. Double check your video card to make sure you have one that works.

Windows04 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Can I also use these steps to install Kalyway 10.5.2 (not the combo update)? Or do i have to modify some kexts ? (Totally new, so i will need a lot of explanation ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan_Man Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I had a lot of trouble with the DQ965GF board not booting DVD until I put a video card (7600GT) into it. It seems the gma3000 and OS X just don't like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickRick Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hate to see this bumped to top for a thank you - but... THANK YOU!!! The AppleHD driver the the 965 is schweet. Been looking for this for quite awhile (OK, only a couple of dayz). After many years being "PC Only" (and getting quite bored after 30 years in the biz) Hackintosh has become my new obsession. Tons more interesting than putting XP/D965 boxes in Law Office... First post here - been lurking for awhile. Thanks again... Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
