Is my HP able to run OSX??

[jms_nov28]

Hi, I'm glad to be a part of the community. I was wondering if my Hp Media Center m8330f is able yo run Zephyroth 10.5.2

My computer is the following:
-HP Media Center M8330F
-AMD 64 Quad-Core Phenom 9500
-8500 GT nVida
-640 HD SATA (320x2)
-3Gb RAM
-DVD+RW SATA

Chipset: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Motherboard: ASUS M2N68-LA
Audio: ALC 888S chipset

Thank you in advance for helping me out. :)

you should beable to run it with no problems
but your onboard lan might not work because i have the same chipset and my lan didn't work
had to buy a different one

I have a lynksys WUSB300N that I use for the internet, so I hope that will work on OSX.

I'm going to use this version. Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2 Rev.1
So I should have no problem? Because I used iAtkos with the patch and all I got was waiting on root device, and when I got the Apple Logo A error cancel error came up.

Especially with you specifications, now it has to run. =)

i would use Rev 2 because Rev 1 might not see your hard drives because they are SATA

I searched for Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2 Rev 2 But can't find it. A link perhaps? Thank You

[bhast2]

the piratebay that is all i can say
i can't give you a link to it
but if you search for leopard amd and you will find it

[jms_nov28]

Thank you so much! :)

So this will be the same way though, like burn and install? Right? Or would I need patching and such?

Is there a tut on installing?

Thank you again for helping me :)

[bhast2]

just burn and install
make sure you customize your install

[jms_nov28]

bhast2:just burn and install
make sure you customize your install

What do you mean customize your install??

[bhast2]

right before the install starts there is a button on the bottom left that you click to pick your audio and video and bootloader and kernel drivers

I burned both versions. And no luck. I booted up from the DVD and when I got the boot F8 I pressed any key to continue. When I did it just said. Darwin (something) loading with a small slash. Then my computer just rebooted. Then I tried the Rev 2 and I got the same thing. I burned both on PowerISO.
Also I did the "-v" and same thing, it rebooted my computer. It always had a small message which I can barely catch. It said EFI Bootloader or something like that and below that it had USB Host something, I coulnd't catch it. Whats am I doing wrong?

[bhast2]

burn it with imgburn
that is what i did to get it to work

[jms_nov28]

Tried imgburn, no luck same problem. Ughh it's psnn me off :(

Whats the problem? What could it be? Has any one with my model of computer successfully installed Leopard?

Help

I managed to record what it says and this is it.

"Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132
3076MB memory
VESA v3.0 14MB (NVIDIA)

Loading Darwin/x86
EFI enhanced bootloader build: ToH
Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000f13e0"

After I get that message my computer re-boots on it's own. Thats the same message I get with both original and Rev 2. I've tried Nero, Roxie, imgburn, PowerISO, Sonic and just ended up wasting my blank DVD's. By the way I'm using DVD+R can that be the problem?

What can I do?

[bhast2]

i used dvd+r for mine

hmmmm i will search for ya

[jms_nov28]

bhast2:i used dvd+r for mine

[jms_nov28]

I was browsing around and saw this thread. Have you tried burning your install disc on the slowest setting possible?

My burner reports around 4-5Kbps with settings like "slowest" or "low" (transmac, a program I often use doesn't show the x1 etc speeds for burning.) I believe I have made successful back-ups of my retail install DVDs by burning on the slowest setting supported. I hope this helps.
