This thread hasn't gone anywhere so I thought I would add to it with hopes that someone can provide some asistance based on the stage I am at:
Memory (RAM): 8191 MB
CPU Info: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
CPU Speed: 2335.5 MHz
Sound card: Speakers (High Definition Audio
Display Adapters: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
Network Adapters: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E GBE NIC
CD / DVD Drives: D: PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S
USB Controllers: 10 host controllers.
Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0M017G
With the -v cpus=1 command I can boot off of the DVD just fine. I then install the following drivers per OSx86 Wiki (
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...ell_Studio_540):
iPC 10.5.6 Universal Final
Kernel: 9.5.0 voodoo
Chipset: LegacyAppleIntelPIIATA
Audio: Azalia Audio Package
CPUS=1 boot flag fix
LAN: Realtek R1000 Driver
I even have the Nvidia 9500GT Video card as indicated within the above link. For this, I have installed NVinject 0.2.1 1024MB VRAM and NVdarwin 1024MB with the same results which are noted below.
Everything installs just fine and when it restarts, I boot off of the installed hard drive using the following command: -v -f
I then get hung up on "Still waiting for root device." I have not made any adjustments in my BIOs. Any body have any tips or hints. I just read somewhere that you install the 9.5.0 voodoo kernal, you must also install a seatbeat 10.5.5.kext which I am about to try next.
