Trouble install 10.5 on X38 chipset
I have the maximus formula motherboard and a Q9550, 4gb ocz reaper, HD4870, IDE dvd writers, and sata hard drives. I cant seem to install OS X, no matter what I try.
Im kinda new to this. I used iAtkos on my old hardware and also installed it in XP using the flat-img. Has anyone installed it on my motherboard or knows how? What should I set the bios options to? Is there a modified bios I could use to flash my bios? Thanks I put this in my sig, but for some reason its not showing up.. ASUS Maximus Formula Q9550 @ 3.6ghz 4GB OCZ Reaper 1158mhz Sapphire HD4870 5 WD Sata hard drives 2 IDE DVD, Sony/LG Antec P180 Antec Tru Power 650 Zalman 9700 led |
Bump, can anyone help?

Did I post this in the wrong section?

Also could you post your HD controllers? |
Name a HD controller and I will be able to tell you if thats the right one.. I know that the ide controller is a jmicron, as for the sata controller, I cant think right now..
But here is what happens when I try to boot the iAtkos 5i DVD http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...Picture051.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...Picture048.jpg |
Im guessing its a ICH9R controller, but here is all the specs for my mb

Does the MD5 checksum match properly (in other words, is it correct)? I think you have got a faulty OS X install DVD... I would recommend XXX 10.5.6 over iAtkos 5i also... |
"XXX 10.5.6" Is that the leo install?
I havent tried the md5 yet |

whats the best program to use to check the md5?
Thanks for your help so far. |
I found one called md5.exe and it asks for you to select the file you would like to check and enter the checksum to see if it matches.
|
I will check it when I get home from work, but what if it checks out to be good.., Then what do you think the problem could be?
|
Okay, i got it to boot and install, but since i have the hd 4970 video card, which drivers do i select from the list.. the highest it goes is 3870?
|
I chose the 3870 cause i didnt know any better and when it restarted it said " i need to hold the power button down to restart it, so .. . Im gonna try and reinstall it with out selecting any video drivers..
Another thing, what do i need to select once i get to the customize section of the installation> ?? |
Okay, I got it to install and boot up.. But now i dont have internet or sound??

I got sound to work and I might have something for the video card. But how about the Marvell etho driver? |
