Vanilla kernels cannot be used with nForce chipset MOBOs.......only patched kernels.......so for updating from 10.5.x to 10.5.5, I strongly recommend the Mysticus C* 10.5.5 Combo Updater......see link in post #1 of this thread.......I have used it with the 9.4.0 StageXNU kernel without any problems..... :unsure:

I keep getting kernel panics now that I download with Transmission....I'm thinking that it has nothing to do with Transmission though...Because the nForce LAN with kext and the USB WiFi also gave me kernel panics after an hour of usage...Anyone else having weird problems with kernel panics caused by LAN?

 

Any suggestions aswell?

Can you figure anything out from what I am getting?...

 

Like I said, I was able to boot and install on the HDD using an AMD comp with a 590i Mobo...

 

Now I moved the HDD to my current machine...

 

So I was able to FINALLY install OS X Kalyway 10.5.2...

 

BUT, I installed it on another machine and moved the HDD to my EVGA 780i Mobo comp...

 

Now Im not able to boot to the OS from the EVGA comp...

 

This is what I get:

Transmission is causing problems for many , even those with Intel chipset MOBOs......suggest you try this.....it may work fine...... :wallbash:

When you installed OSx86 on the AMD machine you would have to had made different Customize selections.......including AMD_1052_Patches.....yes?

Yes I did, because it would freeze up and not install if I didnt. But the current machine I am using is NOT an AMD its an Intel C2Q.

I removed Transmission and installed Tomato...And I got a kernel panic after 1,5 hours....So we can conclude that it HAS to do something with internet connection...because...

 

If I use nForce with kext, everything works, but after an hour (more or less) I get a kernel panic...

If I use a USB WiFi Adapter, everything works, but again, after an hour (more or less) I get a kernel panic...

If I use a PCI Ethernet Card, one that works out of the box, Realtek 8169, everything works, but AGAIN, after an hour (more or less) I get a kernel panic...

 

When I didn't install the nForce kext, or plug in the USB WiFi, or install Realtek 8169 in my PC I didn't get kernel panics...I used my PC over three hours without kernel panics, and withour internet connection...

 

What's the deal here?? Has it something to do with my BIOS, my MoBo, or what, or do I have to use cpus=1 when I feel like using the internet?

 

Seriously need some help guys...

1. From your post it appears that you able to run the longest without a freeze using Tomato or were the lockout times for Transmission the same via the same Ethernet link? What I mean is that if you experienced a different time to lockout for Transmission vs. Tomato using the same Ethernet device and downloading the same torrent.....this suggests a software/hardware communication issue.......

 

2. Please go to Network/Advanced and switch "Configure IPv6" to OFF......report back on your recorded lockout times for Transmission vs. Tomato using the RT8169 NIC when downloading the same torrent...... ;)

 

3. Even if IPv6 is already switched OFF you should be aware that there are reported problems with Transmission (and other torrent software such as Azureus) and Leopard on "real macs".....e.g. see here.....some claim that version later than 1.22 are the cause of the problem.....

@anyone

 

I was able to scrap up some old parts from my old computer.

 

Will using a PATA dvd-rom drive and a PATA HDD help my problems with installing OSX on my computer?

 

It is certainly worth a shot.......

 

However, since you did not fully report back with your boot screen error messages when trying to install OSx86 following exactly the procedure described in post #54, I cannot be sure of the possible causes of your problems with your Evga 780i SLI Mobo

Q9450 Core 2 Quad @ 3.2Ghz system........

 

Yes I did, because it would freeze up and not install if I didnt. But the current machine I am using is NOT an AMD its an Intel C2Q.

 

Installed OSx86 systems are not transferrable.......OSx86 installed on an nForce chipset + AMD CPU MOBO is specific to that system, likewise OSx86 installed on an nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBO is specific to that system........or OSx86 installed on an Intel or VIA chipset + AMD CPU MOBO is specific to that system, likewise OSx86 installed on an Intel or VIA chipset + Intel CPU MOBO is specific to that system......I am sure you get the idea now..... :(

Yeah tomato lasted long, but was just a coinsedence, I was once for almost two hours without kernel panics using the pci, I turned the pc off myself.And once I got a kernel panic after 40 minutes...And the USB WiFi gives me a kernel panic, but doesn't on my brothers laptop...

And since onboard lan, usb wifi and pci ethernet gives kernel panic it has to somethingwith internet connection...Anyone else with P5N-D (750i) having this problem?

 

P.S I have the PCI for the last two days, I used nForce LAN and USB WiFi before, which gave the same exact results...

Has switching "Configure IPv6" to OFF made any noticeable difference?

 

I have tried to install the jas 10.5.4 patched with mysticus onto my system with no success it still says still waiting for root device. Is there something I should be changing in my bios settings? I left them as default when I installed leo4allv3 with success but I would really like to install 10.5.4. If anyone knows or has a striker 2 nse board please help! I just wish I could use the drivers with leo4allv3 to install jas w/myst if anyone can do this I think it would really help us wth these chipsets it just blows that we have some great chipsets but we cant install jas or ideneb.

 

Check your BIOS settings against my BIOS template in post #1 in this thread........on my 650i I have installed both JaS and iDeneb 10.5.4.......so let us sort out the BIOS settings first to overcome if possible "still waiting for root device"....... :rolleyes:

@verdant - YOURE AWESOME!!

 

Thank you to everyone! I have finally got everything to work on my EVGA 780i Mobo...

 

Today I purchased the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter to use for internet...

 

Now...

 

How do I get AUDIO to work?

 

How can I get my GFX card to use my native res 16xx X 10xx (9800GTX)?

well i re-runn the combo in safe mode and did all the adjust,booted but didnt go thru, its giving me the same warning sandbox_init ........ :blink: now i cant even get in on safemode

 

Best option in long run.......complete reinstall from DVD, erasing HDD volume and starting with a clean OSx86 10.5.2 or 10.5.4 system........ :)

Thanks....... :blink: but I would really appreciate it if you would please summarize with relevant detail the steps you followed to get everything working.....what BIOS settings, OS X version, what distro, Customize selections etc. for the benefit of others reading this thread....... :)

 

I can only answer if you describe in more detail what you did regarding setting up a driver for your 9800GTX GFX card.....you give no details.......did you follow ..see here.....and here..? What are your current resolution options, do you have full CI/QE etc.....?

 

Please give more information on the system status in your posts when asking questions, I am wearing my fingers out typing questions........ :)

 

Your audio codec is the Azalia audio codec..... download Azalia installer here......

I think I totally messed up my installation, which is fine...

 

I followed the steps to get my native resolution to work and not I cannot boot to the desktop...

 

Can anyone point me to an easier way to get my sound working and how to get 1680 x 1050 working as well...

 

What is CI/QE?...

 

;)
