I have an asus m4a88td-v evo mobo and I was wondering what do I need to get this thing working? I have iatkosv7 because it's the only thing I can get to boot. It allows me to install but always gives me some kind of kernel panic error. What's going on? What special kernel do I need or anything to get osx on my system.

Thanks.

Hello,

Your mainboard use an amd cpu.
I never installed Leopard on an amd so i can´t tell you the best kernel for it but what i know the voodoo kernel should work with amd cpus.
I would choose for amd the legacy_kernel for snow leopard.
If i where you i would install snow leopard and if you wan´t to use a distro i would choose hazards snow leopard for an amd but the best thing would be if you install it from a retail version.
Here is a link for nawcoms mod cd that you will need if you wan´t to install a retail version. http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=569

If you have any questions just post them here and i will try to help you.

A list of your hardware would be good to help you.
It would be also interessting which kernel flags you used?
We need more information so that anyone can help you.

I have gotten pretty far. I've tried a few different installations and I keep running into the same problem It doesn't know what to clock my cpu at.... it can't verify the busratio. I have to manually put it in to boot but then it still freaks out after the installation. I think I have to edit the com.apple.boot.plist file and add the busratio info so it knows what to do. Am I right?

Thanks.

Please Help

Hello,

What for bootloader do you use?
I would try to start with flags -v -x arch=i386 cpus=1 busratio=xx (xx=your busratio)
(often the flag cpus=1 helps; if it is you can fix it by edting the dsdt)

If you know what for bootflags are needed you can insert them into boot.plist.

What for kexts have you checked at the installation?
Which version of leopard have you installed and which voodoo kernel do you use exactly?
What for a graphics card do you have?

But i would setup snow leopard because you can run 64 bit with it.

I've tried a lot of different combinations. I've tried kernel 9.5 9.7 and 3 different bootloaders chamelion v1 v2 and another one that starts with an X lol

Since I'm not having any luck with that and I also want snow leopard, I'm going to go the empire efi with retail cd. I just bought the retail of snow leopard installation disk. I also downloaded empire efi. Gonna try that first. The thing i don't know is what do I need to do to the empire efi boot iso before I burn it so it knows what kexts and everything to load up to make osx work on my amd system with all my hardware?

Thanks so much.
