[cite] javcarbe:[/cite]Everything is ok ( I think)
In the bios I disable Raid and put Raid in AHCI and the leopard work perfect all, video, sound (only 3 channels), network,
But I try to boot in windows and windows crash, so I need change the RAID to IDE, and Windows work perfect, what is the problem ?, if I boot with the windows configuration RAID=IDE, for MAC mac send me a message waiting for root device, so I dont know whats is the problem to have a dual boot, and dont need change the bios config,
I doesnt install the SB600_SATA_ATA im try this nigt...

In the K9A2 Platinum (I have that motherboard also) how do you set the Raid to AHCI in the Bios? I cant find that option. Are you able to boot into leopard from your SATA hard drive? I'm asking because I'm not sure if Zeph 10.5.1 or Zeph 10.5.2 supports the 790FX chipset (I'm assuming both distributions already support SB600).

My setup is a 500GB drive, with Leopard only (no windows dual boot)

When I get the "Installation Complete" and reboot, I'm getting the "still waiting for root device" error.

thanks

John

Ok, you need Raid disable and thats it, and the sata change raid for AHCI, in the bios, mmm when you go to the bios is the 3er option, im not at home, I cant help you, but I know to set up the AHCI is the 3er option(you start left, up to down), the next menu is the last or one before, and thats it,
Take care. I hope I can help you.

My other quesion, how i make to dont see the text is coming when is startup the mac, you can change kind of windows with the logo flying and the down bar running,

In terminal:

sudo cp /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist.backup

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Remove '-v' flag and you will get your apple on boot.

P.S. There is a '-legacy flag' turned on, you can try removing it. I have removed it and didnt get any problem. Also you can edit the timer counter to lower value to speed up start up.

QUESTIONS:

1.- What happend If I install the AMD update software for the phenom, the icon is amd 64x2 but I dont want take the risk. somebody know hows work?
2.- My memory is bus 800 mhz, why apple recognize 400 mhz? The setup (bios), say 800 Mhz
3.- Whats the best driver for ACL888, because only work 3 chanels and normal no PDIF (digital output), and when I can try to see the sound card in propietates only say audio in built, something like that.

Thanks every body, all work pefect but I want get the best config, my xbench is 129.xx don't remember the others numbers, my Phenom is Black edition 9600

Don't worry, it is only beta. The picture you see may be wrong, but the scripts for your processor are most likely correct. Remember for your second question, your PC is not a Mac, so the readings may be wrong. Assume that the O/S is detecting 800 MHz.
