Hey, I'm trying to install zephiroth's 10.5.2 rev2 on an amd 3000+ s939 running on a msi k8n neo4 with a geforce 6200tc install disk boots up ok but then right after selection of the prefered language, it says preparing installation and then the system shuts itself down. any clues on how to fix this issue?

thanks!!

You disk probably has a read error. Burn a fresh copy or check the disk for any scratches/dust and try again. Happened to me once I remember. Nothing to really be concerned about "for now."

I still have this strange USB Problem with my ECS GeForce6100SM-M2 (V1.0A) and Zephyroths 10.5.2 Rev.1. Sometimes I can boot without any problem, sometimes I can't (Kernel Panic becuase of appleUSBIO soemthing; I will post the correct message as soon as possible.) It seemed to me that there is a different behavior when I connect another USB Keyboard. I thought of leaving Keyboard and Mouse on ps/2 ports but then they are not recognized and I am just not able to get ps/2 to work. Please help.

I can't find a rev.2 iso?! Is there one out there? Wich one to prefer? I know the AMD Installtion is somewhat more complicated than an Intel Installation. There are a lot of Instructions out there how to Install Zephyroths. Can someone point me to the most usefull to start with?

Cheers

Hello everyone. Need help. Ive tried a few different OSx86's to no avail. Zephyroth 10.5.1 will not read SATA so no luck there. Leo4All v3 gets to about where it says BSM Auditing and then goes into a reboot cycle. Specs are:

AMD Phenom 9600 CPU
Biostar A770+ MB
3 gigs PC2-6400 Ram
ATI HD 2600 Pro Video
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound
Seagate 500 gig HD- Vista
Seagate 360 gig HD- Debian Etch
Seagate 160 gig HD- Backup Images of other Drives

Intention is to install OSx86 over Debian, cuz I can reinstall it as a dual boot later. but I havent even been able to make it that far. Ive read through almost every forum and tried everything. Zephiroths Rev. 2 is downloading now. hope to have some luck there. Anyway if theres anyone with similar haedware who can tell me how they got theirs going it would be greatly appreciated.

Your board has a SB600 chipset which is supported and you shouldn't have problems with it, i have the same southbridge controller and it works just great. I am not sure if 10.5.1 can recognize sata hdd if you don't set transfer type to sata-ahci in BIOS, so dont trust me on that really cant remember, but i am sure 10.5.2 rev.2 will recognize your hdd no matter if its set to native ide or sata->ahci in bios. You would have to include sb600 driver in installation so it can be installed into your system so you can boot later to it if you were previously in native ide mode.

So for 10.5.1, try to set your BIOS (its somewhere in integrated peripherals, Ide controllers..) to SATA->AHCI mode. Boot like that with dvd and the installer has to see your hdd and you can install to it.

How about new release?
maybe 10.5.3?

Many of the guys are running 10.5.3. It's done by updating from 10.5.1 or 10.5.2.

+1 what milanca said.

Zeph's Software Update has a high success rate, even higher if you're using EFI gfx strings beforehand.

It's probably best that you read this thread through first.

Hi,

I am a newbie to the OSX86 world and want to dual boot it along with my Windows XP. My current specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ processor
ASRock ALiveNF5-eSATA2+ R3.0 motherboard
Nvidia nForce 520 chipset
2GB of DDR2 Ram
Nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics card
2x Maxtor 6L200M0 189GB Sata HDD
Creative Audigy 2 Platinum soundcard

I have downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.2 OSX and burned it to a DVD as this was recommended on a few websites as a good/stable operating system for AMD PC's. I am not sure if it this is the best one as I have seen lots of other versions mentioned and I am also not sure whether it will install ok on my Sata hard drive. Could someone please tell me what would be the ideal OSX version to get for my specs and if it will be ok to install as a dual boot on my Sata hard drive. I currently have XP installed so I know I would have to partition my drive and I have downloaded Partition Magic 8 but I am not too sure how to do this.

I have previously tried to install OSX but I messed up a lot as I forgot to select the customize option and choose which parts I wanted to install (I also am not too sure what to select but I would imagine I just install anything that matches my PC's specs like the AMD stuff or nVidia stuff).

Any help would be greatly I appreciated.

my config is
core duo 2.8ghz
gigabyte mbo intel chipset
ati firegl 5600v

wich iso to download for this config ?
