It's the first time i'm trying to install macos x on my desktop. I have an Asus M2N-MX SE mobo with Athlon 64 x2 processor and samsung SATA I disk. I've downloaded 10.5.1 iso, and i got a problem, it see my disk correctly, but when i try to erase, or do something with the disk using diskutil for example, it cannot do the job, dying after a timeout, and on dmesg i got "IOATAControl: device blocking bus"
Is there a way to install it on my hardware? Can someone point me to correct docs or correct iso to download?
