any luck with AMD 790X + SB750 Chipset Need Help
 
Hi
I am trying to install Mac om my new hi end system.

Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P AMD 790X + SB750 Chipset
AMD phenom 2 quad 3,2ghz
8 Gb Ram
Sata Westen Digital 750GB

I have tried different version.. iATKOSv7, iDeneb ......
But my computer just reboot.. It says "Loading Darwin"------ "starting Darwin" and bang Re-Botting. And the computer just keep running this circle...

Please help

First, try to boot with -x flag. If that didn't work try another distro, I'd suggest Leo4All v4.1. That's the only distro that ever installed on my 790GX.

have now tried IPC, Leo4u, iATKOS, iDenab

have used... -x , -f, -v. cpus=1

my computer still reboot when "Starting Darwin"

Leo4All 4.1 AMD only kernel? I used other distros to install on my rig and it would just panic right away, but with that was smooth.

you need kext
 
you should try to find SB700 chipset kext. you can find in forum. I wrote the kext link. you will have information about chipset. but I can say you you should have proper graphic card because I couldnt run the ATI HD3200 on board GFX.

I am writing half of URL ,you can find the domain :) I hope :)

/files/160514091/Nexusmac_For_iDeneb_ATIsb700Extensions.mkext.zip

get the kext and try to add your sb 750 pci id. you should look via google. have a nice day. I hope you can do. but I think, editing the SB700 will work for you.

I have installed the Iatkos 7 and it reboots all up to the network and hangs. I have picked the right net driver. Wondering what ACPI does?
