you should enable AHCI or you should get the your southbridge and chipset information to get necessary kexts to reach your HDD.

[Undertaker1986]

can you do your ideneb DVD with suitable kexts?


you can get information how to change kexts file in DVD.

from this link with my posts.
http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/sb700-sucks-please-help-t1435/page2.html

you will need transmac trial version to read and write ideneb iso.

but you should create Extensions folder in Ideneb dvd. because it uses only mkext.

I recommend you LS8V14 drivers you can find from insanelymac forum.

it is suitable for GA-p45-* boards maybe it can support yours.

or you can search your asus board on insanelymac , your board seems popular one to run osx.

you find bios screens to change settings.

dont forget all things are experimental , it may work or not, you should try and share if it is working:)

to get information how to find AHCI section in bios you can also read the your mainboard manual. and you can also download from asus web site.

I hope it helps.

Thnx for the info i try it tommorow! On my laptop my bois doesnt show all that! is there a way to do it on Dos / Command?

[Aydinz]

"Still waiting for root device"

this is a common error and if you search here or on insanelymac there are many tutorials on how to overcome this problem

[nexusmac]

for laptops , generally dont need to cahnge anything, if you dont use sata Harddisk.
if you are using brand new one, you should look at the manual of the notebook and say us what can we do?


for aydinz , can I ask you? which solution is perfect one? did you tried?

[Aydinz]

no im not sure, you will have to look around at the comments, i never got this error but from my months of forum surfing to find solutions for my problems i saw this title everywhere so i know a lot of people have had the same problem

[Undertaker1986]

Well the problem is really that the bios in my sony is SO SMALL! not near all the options what normally are there is there! So its really frustrating!

[nexusmac]

you should know the chipset and you can get better help.

[nexuspolaris]

hello,
i have a problem iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 install too...

I have an AMD machine with SB700 chipset motherboard i put Extensions.mkext into the dvd image. At the last 2 minutes the install process seems like freezing, no answer, anything...

I could install Kalyway 10.5.2 on my pc using the same kexts and I'd like to update 10.5.5.

specs:
(RAID0) WD Raptor SATA HDD
(RAID1) Plextor IDE DVD drive with IDE to SATA converter

[Undertaker1986]

Pc is Intel® P35 chipset And notebook is a Intel 945 chipset

Maybe i am a Ass... but i cant find the driver on the site looked at Search everywhere but maybe i am blind :P I only find v12

Downloaded V12 and made a folder Extentions on the Ideneb DVD Iso but than... what do i have to put there? there are loads of maps in the downloaded V12 folder? in this pic you see whats in that map Click here (http://rapidshare.com/files/160642339/Update.jpg) what do i have to put in the Extentions map.

Edit: i got it working but i dont have sound wich driver do i need to get my on board soundcard to work on mac?! motherboard is ASUS P5KC

[nexusmac]

it seems you got working?

for sound, you should know the your soundcard chipset such as realtek ALC889.

for ALC889a, ls8v12 should have AppleHDA.kext :) and hdaEnabler.

for LS8v14 kext and just another example, look at this link

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132211

for further information , use your mainboard name , chipset as search

[Undertaker1986]

I want to talk Especially nexus for helping me with my installation :-) Although i couldnt find all the help i needed although i have now my sound working through the HDA Patch 1.20 :)

[nexusmac]

I didnt understand you:) what you mean? we couldnt help to you?

did you check 5.1 dolby surround is working , if not , dont worry mine also does not work:) and there is no solution for now, if ALC889a chipset can be recognized by Linux , I think Taruga patch also work with charm:)

[Undertaker1986]

Nexusmac, You helped me just fine for what you could help me with! To be honest, For me the set works like a charm! No idea HOW i did it but i did it! So i dont see all the hassle about the 5.1 cause it works like mad after i tryed almost everything on any forum i could find, so i have here a Full working audio 5.1 set :D and leopard working like crazy! Only i need to find some good programs for it :)

[nexusmac]

finaly, You are running on Leopard without problem:) and 5.1 surround is better for you:)

nice, I am happy for you.

for p35 chipset , you can get audio 5.1 without a problem. and the problem is ICH10 with ALC889a.

I also want to know which one helped you to get 5.1:)

and do you share us your experience about ideneb installation which options did you select and
did you work with 945 chipset?

[Seeed]

@Undertaker86: Hi, I have the exact same Laptop (VGN-N31m) and I'm also interested in how you got Ideneb to work on it. Did you patch the DVD or not, which options in the installer did you select?
No matter what I do it still hangs after the message "Still waiting for root device".

Greetings Seeed

actually the darwin boot loader they included on the cd is defective
they were missing some of the core boot loader files
i have the same problem.
my copy is missing all of the chipset driver kexts
