HELP BIOS settings FOR RAMPAGE EXTREME II, I too have loaded ideneb 10.5.5 on my PC, (ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME II AND i7920... i finally got it to find the harddrive where I loaded mac Ideneb on (HOW YOU ASK?= After mac install on a formated extended journed Separate hardrive, I immediately opened the terminal from the install menu before reboot! and typed "fdisk -e/dev/rdisk2s2".....the 2s2 was identified as the actual harddrive and partition on my computer....YOU ASK AGAIN....I found out which drive it was by typing in the termal program Immediately after insall of IDENEB "diskutil list"....which provided me the "2s2" as the mac hardrive in my computer.)
I used a forum generic bios setup:
Main
- Storage Configuration
+ Configure SATA as [AHCI]
- Advanced
- CPU coonfiguration
+ Intel ® HT Technology [Disabled]
+ Active Processor Cores [1]
+ A20M [Disabled]
+ everything else [Enabled]
- Onboard Devices Configuration
+ High Definition Audio [Enabled]
+ Front Panel Audio [HD Audio]
- Power
+ Suspend Mode [Auto]
+ Repost Video on S3 Resume [Yes]
+ ACPI 2.0 Support [Enabled]
+ ACPI APIC Support [Enabled]
- APM Configuration
+ Restore on AC Power Loss [Last State]
- Boot
- Boot Device Priority
+ 1st Boot Device [ATAPI CD-ROM]
+ 2nd Boot Device [Hard Drive]


PROBLEM: It will not boot mac from the hardrive, It starts with apple icon, then goes to time out.

Also tried many of the other programs: xxx10.5.6, IPC 10.5.6, TOHX86, KALYWAY 10.5.2, v.7, generic kernals/my retail copy of OSX, etc.I have tried everything in setting up the BIOS (note: I have to change the default settings to achieve the above result....I follow similar but not the same as mine and it sometimes allows IDENEB to load, i then put in the terminal to tell it to boot from the drive, it starts with mac icon then times out and fails instalation)

I have read gobs of forums, But I think I need the Bios settings for my board and processor (asus extreme II + Intel i7-920) for best opperation. Screen shots would be great!

Then a simple step by step process......remember I am a Mac person, not a geek for IBM. For getting my system up and running, I will deal with the sound, 4 cores and internet later.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED with step by step (if you instruct me to do something like put in a kernal please explain steps). thanks
