Hi all,
I have been an avid reader of these forums for quite some time and have many hacks but I am having a strange issue with my latest one. I bought this pack today http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?moduleno=345443 . I know the onboard graphics arent supported by vanilla installs, I am going to buy another Nvidia 8400 GS for £30 and use the EFI string once this works properly. I have installed via my 8GB pendrive and it went without a hitch, the problem is that EVERY time I boot the desktop is unusable for around 5 minutes or so, it wont react at all. The mouse moves etc but I cannot click on anything etc. After this time its perfectly normal. I am lost with regards to things to try. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
The hack is :
Intel E3200 dual core CPU
2GB RAM
ECS G31T-M9 - link here - http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/...D=1&LanID=0 (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&DetailID=958&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=1&LanID=0)
250GB SATA HDD
IDE DVD-RW
Running Snow Leopard, Vanilla kernel and no extra kexts yet (although I know the ones to use).
Thanks for any help,
Paul.
EDIT - Silly me, I hadnt checked the BIOS settings as I usually do prior to install. Sorted the CPU settings correctly for OSX and now all is well! :)
