BootCamp on Hackintosh is useless ... Because you can install Windows on a PC natively ...

Mac OS X 10.6.3 • 2.8 GHz Intel Core I7 860 • ASUS P7P55D • 2 GB 2 Ghz DDR3 • ATI RADEON XFX 4890 1GB • 2 x Hitachi 160 GB Serial-ATA • PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112 • LaCie Desktop Harddrive 750 GB USB

That chipset isn't supported.

There IS a .kext for the SB600 ( called "SB600_SATA_ATA" ) - I've used it to get my Compaq V2000 Series laptop running (in a limited way...) with Zephyroth. It also got my 690G / SB600 motherboard recognizing the internal SATA drives...

I use the "external hard drive method" ( rather than trying to build a new .iso with the SB600_SATA_ATA .kext(s) added to the installation DVD (that's WAY over my head!))

Otherwise there's little chance you'll get 10.5.1 installed by just using the standard install DVD and the "usual" install method...

You serious? Why is that? Are only the Nvidia ones supported or what?

You really don't know the answer to that? Macs are built on a very limited set of hardware. PC's AREN'T.

Firstly it's amazing that these people have OS X working on AMD systems AT ALL - there are NO true Macs that use AMD CPU's or chipsets that support AMD CPU's!

Secondly, Zephyroth built his version 1 AMD 10.5.1 to support the hardware he's using ( read: NOT every other AMD chipset known to man ). It happens to work for quite a few others - BUT it DOESN'T work in all cases! I've tried installing Zephyroth on 8 different AMD computers. It has worked successfully on three (3) of them.

There is some hardware that will never be supported. Fortunately for you, the SB600 actually is,,, with the right "drivers" ( the SB600_SATA_ATA .kext )... It'll just take more effort on your part - OR - you'll have to wait for Zephyroth's version 2!

I understand, One last thing, i've tried searching for the SB600 kext file and nothing has came up, Google, or Insanleymac.

It's at InsanelyMac. I found it again:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=66399&st=0&p=472484&#entry4724 84

I think there are a couple of .kexts in this .zip file. I used "Kext Helper" to install them.

Hey guys,

I have the same problem. My HDD don't show up in the Disk Utility app.

Chipset:
MB: ASUS K8VSE-Deluxe (AGP 3.0 Graphic Interface)
Northbridge: VIA K8T800 (VT8383) rev.01
Southbridge: VIA VT8237
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (SSE2)

I'm using Zeph 10.5.1 with SSE2 kernel patch. I suppose my chipsets are not supported?
I tried with a SATA HDD and a IDE, both are not showing. I use diskpart like this:
- list disk
- select disk [disk #]
- list partition
- create partition primary id=af
- active

Then reboot and load on the install DVD... Any info guys?
Thanks
