zonoskar Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have the exact same errors, only I'm using an Asus P5B-MX board with the 946GC chipset and ICH7 controller. I think our problem is the built-in videocard. I'm waiting for my Radeon 3650 to come in. Untill then, I'm stuck using Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 The IDE ports on Asus P5* motherboards are provided by JMicron controller which is not supported by the install. You may have to install it on another machine, install JmicronATA.kext and move the harddisk to this machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollyboys Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ajal, Is there a way of disabling the Jmicron driver or get into the bios settings ? There are people who have managed to get this working, must have used Sata DVD drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Install with SATA DVD Drive definitely works. My machine has P5B and I could never install from my IDE DVD Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollyboys Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ajal, Connected a sata dvd drive but still the same problem. Cannot find boot volume. On iatkos and kalyway. Do i need some special settings in the bios for this to work? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Jmicron Ports should not be used for Install (IDE or SATA). In the BIOS the SATA mode should be set to AHCI for both ICH8 and JMicron Connect SATA DVD to SATA1 port of ICH8 and the SATA Harddisk to SATA2 port. It should work without issues. The Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD may recognise IDE Harddisk connected on the Jmicron IDE port, I am not sure After install, JMicronATA.kext should have been installed which will enable the IDE ports on the JMicron to be seen by OSX.

thejollyboys Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ajal, Thanks for your help and patience mate but there are no settings for the Jmicrom controller and no settings for AHCI, or I can't find it anywhere. In the devcie manager on the PC in windows the sata controller is lited as an intel one and no mention of jmicron controller? Tried to connect the DVD and Hard as suggested but no joy. Formatted the blank disk to fat32 i think that's correct? Thanks again. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sorry about that, had a good read of the manual of Asus P5KPL-VM. I was expecting ICH8/8R+Jmicron. Instead it has ICH7 So no jmicron on your board. What you can try is in your BIOS, in the Main menu, you should see "IDE Configuration" If you select that you should see ATA/IDE Configuration, set this to "Enhanced" and under that set "Enhanced Mode Support On" to "SATA". I think this will put the SATA into AHCI Mode. You can try with this setting Also in Advanced Menu under USB configuration, make sure BIOS EHCI Hand-Off is "enabled" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollyboys Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ajal,Thanks again, tried that setting but still the same.I think my problem is more fundamental. I tried another motherboard an AMD one and I get the exact same error on all the install disks.Have I missed a step in preparing the HD or the DVD?I downloaded the iso's and burnt with imgburn at x4 speed. They boot fine but stop at the error above.Also the HD was prepared using departed boot disk formatted to fat32.Thanks.Ajal,Thanks again, tried that setting but still the same.I think my problem is more fundamental.

Your board uses an Intel ICH7 storage controller and does not support AHCI. "ICH9, ICH8, ICH7 and ICH6-based chipsets, as well as ICH5 and ICH5R-based chipsets, do not use AHCI" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Man, ASUS support guy is bulls***ting. I have a P5B (full specs in the signature) and it is ICH8 based and it indeed supports AHCI in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollyboys Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ajal, Thanks, but no settings in the Bios for AHCI support. Do i need a kext for the GUI to boot and recognise the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzo7 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hey, I just stubled back upon this site by accident, i havent been hackintoshing much anymore. I have got it to work however, it works fine if you put any kind of video card in. It looks a bit like the on board video card creates a new PCI bus and the OS doesnt look for others, the installer DOES support the jmicron as an ich7 device and works fine in full ata and sata. That said, i hate this motherboard, i vowed years ago to never buy {censored} from asus again and as soon as i gave it another try, its a pos like this. But it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollyboys Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 scuzzo7, Genius, thanks for that tip. It all worked ok with a pci graphics card installed. All works great, sound nic and display. Thanks, I had given up on this but returned to the site whilst I was bored. Only have to work out how to upgrade to 10.5.5 now.

CpuCooker Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi, I have a loptop Asus F3JA with onboard Ati X1600. Instaling Kalyway 10.5.2 gives me the same error. Welcome to the club of Asus owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr738 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've been trying to get things working with a p5kpl-vm and it's definitely possible. It got most way through the install with kalyway 10.5.1, only locking up at what I presme was the stage last stage, where the bootloader was meant to be added. It refused to boot so I put another dvd I had in (ideneb 10.5.5), thinking I'd try that. That didn't want to play at first, so I started the cd boot thing with "mach_kernel rd=disk0s1 -v" and it magically booted into the previously installed 10.5.1. ?!?! Everything seemed to run ok at that point, except obviously having to start it from a cd which was loading god-knows-what bits of the os. So it definitely is possible! I'll update when i've actaully got it starting up propperly and I know what the hell\s going on ;-) I was using an Nvidia 7300GS card instead of the built in one btw.

ASUShift Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm having this same problem with my Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004. Can't tell you what motherboard I have because the internet doesnt know, the board doesnt show it, and CPU-ID doesnt know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
