I have used a few of the OS X 86 dvd's, Leopard 10.5.1 - 10.5.5, currently using the iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 w/ PPF applied. The problem im having is the same with previous seeds as well. Firstly, I will be able to boot and get to the install…

Does anybody know of a working distro for the specs below? Intel Corei7 965 Extreme Edition, Nvidia GTX295, DDR3 3x2GB RAM, ASUS Rampage II Extreme, Pioneer BD-Burner, 1TB HDD SATA unformatted. Tried iAtkos, iDeneb, and iPC all latest…

“didn't work unfortunately with my specs, im not too advanced at all this stuff i just want to be able to learn the programming side of apple without paying heaps for a genuine apple mac LOL!”

“i read somewhere they released the other languages pack...going to give this distro a try tomorrow hopefully i'll have some good news since none of the other latest releases have done me good. btw im also getting XxX 10.5.6 v2 if it matters…”

“noone seems to be able to solve thier X-Fi audio in these forums or insanelymac either yer i have not seen any drivers for this chipset in my searches, all i found was "ask Eugene, but he probably is too busy to do anything..." fingers X'd …”

“i have Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro which uses the EMU10k2 chipset that i cannot get to work...”

“core i7 - processor appears to the OS as eight CPUs (4 cores) i finally got an installation to complete but when i went to restart and boot into the installation it kept restarting, so i used busratio=24 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f and then it gav…”

“hey i posted something very similar, i have tried to look for other similar posts since the i7 is what people are generally upgrading to these days, the more popular a piece of hardware is the more they will develop distros to suit our hard…”

“the problem still hangs on installation screen even when ide hd is diconnected/connected and dvd drive as master on ide. Is there any ideas ?”

“I've got the HD as the Slave and DVD drive going as the master on IDE. EDIT: I've got a spare SATA Drive that I will try to install on and disconnect the IDE slave HD (therefore, leaving the IDE DVD connected).”

“k guys dont kill me for double posting...i got some new news. this is as much as i can grab from the boot screen, hope this is helpful Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v1.0.11 Build date : 2008-06-09 2046MB memory Vesa v3.0 16MB (ATI AM…”

“Thankyou both for such quick responses... I will test it out this afternoon and hopefully get back to you asap. Semi. EDIT: I will arrange things in a better order, as per yours, only had time to just get the right information down and now …”

“would love to get this going just as soon as i get my installation done... lol still working on getting my first installation, even though i still stay current with the latest!”

“i finally got an installation to complete but when i went to restart and boot into the installation it kept restarting, so i used busratio=24 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f and then it gave me the error "using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO…”

“Since last time i tried using XxX and although it wouldn't install unless i used boot commands: busratio=20 cpus=1 -v it installed and i did not choose any extras ie. the bare minimum as i thought i could install those later, but if i leave…”

“lanceomni - seems like i have similar hardware as you, which OS x 86 are you using ?”

“in your bios settings you should have set ACPI instead of IDE/SATA and then when you get to the same screen, press F8 and type this in: rd=diskXsY (mine is disk0s2, but it might be different with urs than that) busratio=20 (if you have i7 9…”

“haha woops must have slipped on that one...back to square one again”

“let me know if u get going im in same boat”

“haha-looks-like-i-win... result:- 194.90”
