Hi guys, this is my first post in this forum.

I will try this installation some day when my download is ready, but before I want to make sure my system will work at all. I was searching for chipset: "MCP78S" but without any result so I'm a bit worried about the compatibility

CPU: Phenom 9950, 4*2.6Ghz
Memory: 4*1GB, Corsair 800Mhz
Motherboard, chipset: nVidia MCP78S
full spec. ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?mo...=2&l3=407&l4=0 )
HDD: 640GB SATA2
DVD: SATA, Samsung 22x
EDIT: Graphics: ATI HD4670 512MB (or: Integrated GeForce 8 GPU - Support Micorsoft DirectX10)

Thanks!

I tried without success to install :

* iDeneb v1.3 osx86 10.5.5 - installed but after first reboot , gived me errors like : Still waiting for the root device , continously loop restarting , end every errors depending on my bios modifications .
* Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd , but when booting from the DVD keep restarting at the Darwin boot after like 2-3 sec .

After 48 hours for not sleeping i have downloaded your DVD image burn it and installed .
GREAT WORK MAN ! It works. Indeed my CREATIVE X-FI Extreme Audio dont have the drivers but i will find them . And the second problem is the network card . If i use nForce network is not working the internet but after i puted the cable into a REALTEK network card it's just begin to work !

definitely not. you are using an AMD Phenom CPU so Voodoo would be the best bet right now.

Hello !

I'm quite new to osx86 installation but not in computing, and I've tested over 10 ditros so far. None worked, always because of lack of SB600 support.

Now, I've figured out how to install LawlessPPC, and everything worked fine. But, after installation, when my computer restarts, OS X does not start

So I've tried to start with "-f -v" and even "-x" commands but this isn't better. Without verbose, I've got a pretty Mac screen asking me to reboot my computer. With verbose, here is where it hangs :
kextd[10]:IOKitWaitQuiet: timed out waiting to write kernel symbols

Some precisions :
- During installation, I've chosen to install Via/SB drivers, ALC888 drivers, All Nvidia drivers and All Network drivers
- this is not a "still waiting for root device" problem
- OS X is installed in an HFS+ partition of my hard drive

My config :
- Phenom 9550
- MSI K9A2CF-F with SB600
- 2 GB RAM PC2-8500
- SATA Hard drive
- Nvidia 9600 GT

Any help would be great

Ok let's forget my previous post.
Finally, I've reinstalled the distro without any nvidia drivers and it worked, I can now boot and use it. I've installed other nvidia drivers for my 9600 GT.

@Jib
Are you still using Lawless? A lot of people are having problems with sb600 and I know Lawless works but If you used a different one Id like to add it to the list.

Jib · #**200** 01-07-2009, 10:57 AM

Yes I'm using the original ditribution from LawlessPPC.
First, it was impossible to install it on my config, but I've figured out that my DVD was corrupted (or not perfect). So I've burn it again but not at max speed, and then install worked perfectly for me (even though first time I forgot to customize installation, so it was not working !).

I've chosen to check only those options :
- Via, SB drivers
- ALC888 drivers

At first reboot, everything worked fine : sound, ethernet, drives... No "still waiting for root device" bug at all ! After that, I've installed drivers for my graphic card : I've found a complete driver set for my Geforce 9600 GT (Kext was installed thanks to Kext helper). Then I've installed some apps (iTunes, Quicktime update etc...) and my printer.

Now, I would like to update to 10.5.6 but I'm not sure it's possible ?! (I know that Apple updater shouldn't be used !).
