MS-7376 (MSI K9a2 Platinum) and IPC 10.5.6
Hello!
I've been trying to install OSx86 for weeks now on a MS-7376 based clone with an AMD quad Phenom proc with minimul success. I'm able to boot to the DvD and complete the install with no problems but get the dreaded "waiting for root device" error when trying to boot from the HD after install. I have used the -f flag after each install completes.
I've scoured the net and several message boards and have found that the likely culprit is the chipset on the board. It's the SB600/790FX chipset.
As I said, I'm able to install without issue (have done so 100's of times trying various options) and even use the DvD as a boot disc to log into OSx. Once in, I'm able to access my Windows filesystem which is located on a seperate SATA drive. My IPC install is located on an IDE drive set as Primary Master btw.
When I boot from the disc and into the OS (rd=disk0s2) I don't have any network drivers, sound or video.
My question is basically this.
How could I install the same SATA drivers that the iso uses? it appears to load the motherboard drivers without any problems.
Thank you for any advice you can offer!
