You need to choose an appropriate AppleSMBIOS.......I normally recommend AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 Mac Pro as the initial choice for a Desktop system.....

The panic is related to the IOATABlockstorage, IOStorageFamily, AppleNForceATA kexts......starting with the 64bit IOMemoryDescriptor, which as Apple say is

 

The IOMemoryDescriptor object represents a buffer or range of memory, specified as one or more physical or virtual address ranges. It contains methods to return the memory's physically contiguous segments (fragments), for use with the IOMemoryCursor, and methods to map the memory into any address space with caching and placed mapping options.

 

hence "getPhysicalSegment() out of 32b range 0x1029c0000 class IOGeneralMemoryDescriptor......"

 

So, your problem appears to relate to 64bit memory addressing......are you using slashack's AppleNForceATA.kext v0.1 to overcome the 3GB RAM limit.......?

yes AppleNForceATA my problem I try other thing install because My Final cut crushed when I Compress or rendering (HD) Please help me to FC work properly

Probably it better reinstall everything What is better IPC 10.5.6 or iDarvin or Xxx or it better Snow Leopard and which is ...190or 220Or install from Retail an how to do this(if yes) THANK YOU

I am not sure what more to suggest......try setting your computer on Quickcluster then upon submitting, see if the processor is available in the drop pane saying "this computer" and assign the cores to use for the render.....

 

You can try reinstalling......the different distros if they are using the same patches/kexts and 10.5.6 base system will make no difference to how OS X runs if you are choosing the correct kernel and kexts/patches for your system......

 

With your EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard you can try to see if the vanilla kernel works OK as it appears to on some nForce 750i MOBOs.....if not, you are back with Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel......

  7. First 250GB drive has 2 NTFS partitions, one 85GB and the other 150GB. Currently booting Windows Vista x64 SP1 off the 85GB partition. Second 250GB drive is not partitioned, and is where I want to install OS X.
  8. Windows Vista x64 SP1, and I want to install OS X on the second hard drive and be able to dual-boot.
  9. eVGA GeForce 8800GT, not SLI
  10. PCI-E cards: 1x GeForce 8800GT, 1x HighPoint RocketRaid 3520
  11. Onboard FireWire (1 port), USB 2.0 (6 ports), eSATA (2 ports)

How much MOBO RAM are you running? Can you boot the Install DVD without needing to use cpus=1?

 

In BIOS set Intel EIST to [Disabled] and suggest that initially until OS X is installed you temporarily remove the RocketRAID card.....

 

If you want to RocketRAID OS X you need to install the OS X driver and RAID utility via rr3xxx-mac-v120-113007.dmg......AFAIK, OS X currentlycannot be directly installed to arrays on a RocketRAID adapter.....to boot OS X from an array, you need to clone an installed system to the array.....also I do not know about the rr3520-efi.blf EFI BIOS image as regards OSx86......

Your hard drive(s): 1 IDE 300

. Your graphics card(s): EVGA GTX260

PCI/PCI-E cards fittedarthos 5007 wifi

Onboard devices/functions:ALC883

 

 

1. Your available OSx86 Install DVD(s) –

 

iDeneb v1.4,

 

iAtkos 5i,

 

Leo4All V2 Kalyway 10.5.2

 

2. so i tried ideneb and iAtkos

 

i get a SAM error and also a stillwaiting for root device error

 

from what I read its because of the nForceata drivers, so I was just wondering how do i put in the right nForce drivers?

Burn your DVD at ≤ x4 speed......

 

Check your BIOS settings according post #1 template for 750i OS X settings and check IDE cable connection/Jumper setting for your IDE HDD as per post #1 explanation.....try IDE HDD as Master first.....

 

Boot Install DVD with -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048 and if you still get "waiting for root device error" then borrow a PATA (IDE) DVDRW to try.....set IDE DVDRW as Master and IDE HDD as Slave......see post #1.....

 

Try iDeneb v1.4 and select initially ONLY

 

AppleNForceATA Test

9.5.0 Voodoo ( Intel/AMD/SSE2/SSE3 )

AppleSMBIOS Mac Pro

Seatbelt Fix

 

as video, network and audio drivers can be installed after basic OS X system is running OK.....

i have the IDE HDD set to master already, and burned the disc at 4x [4 TIMES!]

i dont know anyone with a PATA drive, is there any way around that? or will i just have to find one?

 

if worst comes to worse, ill buy one at wallymart and then return it.

Audio AD1988B chipset......see post #1 towards the end.....

 

Assume you using eno's nForceLAN.kext for networking.....see post #1......

 

Dual nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX / 9800 GTX 512MB graphics cards.....see here....and to cure mouse lag with QT7.6, rename AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext as AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext.bad....

 

Dual booting Vista and OS X off single HDD.......try Chameleon 2.0RC1 in OS X, or EasyBCD 1.7.2 in Vista.....

How would I dual boot, if i was running two HDD

- 1x 500GB SATA, Running Vista

- 1x 320GB SATA, Running Mac

 

CHeers

Half Pint

 

Try Chameleon 2.0RC1 in OS X, or EasyBCD 1.7.2 in Vista.....if using GPT (i.e. GUID) partition scheme then use EasyBCD 2.0 Beta (now Build 60)......

My guess is .......HDMI_SPDIF header on MOBO connecting HDA to your HDMI graphics card......so you need a ALC888 driver that gives SPDIF output......try the driver here from THe KiNG.....or try VoodooHDA v0.2.2.....
