Enable AHCI in the BIOS for your SATA drives. What southbridge does your MB use? Is it an SB600 or SB700 (like my 780G motherboards...) I have OSx86 running on 2 780G machines - 1 with a Phenom, 1 with an A64 X2.
I doubt that your video card will have anything but VESA support. |
just tried to enable AHCI.. didn't work for me..
780G NB is for ATI graphics. mine is 780a - nForce. and my SB is nForce 780a SLI MCP |
Hey Guys,
This week I installed LawlessPPCPhenomLeo (10.5.4) and when I run ASU to upgrade to 10.5.5 it gets stuck in "Detecting cpuids for MacOSXUpd 10.5.5.pkg". I even let it alone for a couple of hours in this state to see if it works eventually, but didn't. If anyone knows what's happening here I will appreciate your help! Regards! |
Also updated with ASU to iTunes 8 and Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes works fine, but everytime I try to open a video file quicktime crashes. If I open it from the app folder it opens well, but as soon as I drag a file to it crashes again.
Any clues? |
Hey Guys
I am attempting to download Lawless' disk the usual way;) and my "U" is optimized and running properly, yet it says its gonna take like 2-3 days to download....Anyone have any suggestions for how I can make this go faster? Please pm me if you have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance. Endgame |

no chipset driver for your motherboard in this release |
All running fine after:
ATI3870: DVD drivers did not work, removed kexts and installed lastexiles drivers. IDE HHD / SB600 chipset: This is the only distro allowing me to boot with my sb600 setup. But after installing the gfx driver, my hdd becomes really slow, so i had to install different sb600 drivers. |
hello, just got my copy of LawlessPPC dvd, pop it , and i got this error of : still waiting for root device..
it's about my HDD right ? this is my system : AMD Athlon X2 BE 5000 J&W RS780UVD-AM2+ (780G chipset) http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?225 (with SB700) 1x WDC 320gb SATA II 1x SEAGATE 250GB IDE 1x LG DVDRW IDE Geforce 9600GSO 384MB i tried with 1 HD frst (the sata one) , trying AHCI & Native IDE but still got "still waiting for root device" then i tried with only IDE HD but still got the same error is there any exception for DVDRW & my IDE HD on the same cable ? or should i use my SATA HD for better performance? yes, i've tried with -x , but still no luck. at first i thought it was a USB error, because the last message was : "AppleUSBOHCI ... bla bla bla ... OHCI controller will be unloaded across sleep" but then comes along "still waiting for root device" any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks |
oky. it seems that my SB700 is the problem (lawlessppc didn;t have sb700 driver i guess) but i found this sb700kext http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=126273
*edited* okay imanaged to inject the file using TransMac .. unfortunetelly sata didn;t work for me , so i go IDE instead. voila! installer showed up. everything installs just fine .. took about 20-30 mins at least. reboot and there;s this error Grey Circle with line (how to describe that?) on top of grey apple logo. the spinning circle keeps spinneing and nothing happens .. using -v at boot it reintroduced me to still waiting for root device ... eh? i thought the installer worked just fine ? what's wrong? ... |
Coool! with transmac, injecting sb700 chipset has never been easier, (why didn;t i look at that place first??)
anyway, progress so far with LawlessPPC: SB700 ok, Processors recognized dual core, HD ide recognized, DVD rom recognized, USB full speed -- 9600GSO still working as software no QE no CE, SATA HD not recognized but i will look for more! thanks ! |
