This thread is only for nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBOs..............start with this guide even though it is not written for your specific MOBO.......but it will help you understand what is involved better.......

Try using my Leopard install guides in my blog, with a IDE DVDROM or DVDRW set up as Master and connected to your MOBO using a 80-wire IDE cable......boot DVD installer with 

-v cpus=1 maxmem=2048

and also try with IEEE 1394a disabled in BIOS.......install Leopard using the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel...........

 

Others have successfully installed Leopard.........see here........once you have Leopard installed and running OK then see my Snow Leopard Retail Install guide....... :D

See if you can borrow a IDE DVDRW to do the installation and connect it as Master (see post #1).........or try installing OS X to an external USB HDD and then cloning that volume onto your SATA HDD......and use AppleNForceATA_TEST.kext in /S/L/E with your SATA DVDROM.......I assume you have set up your BIOS correctly according to my BIOS template for 780i in post #1....?

Yes, I set my BIOS according the table. I'll try to use a IDE DWDRW. I'll buy one and try!

 

Thanks for your reply! :)

I have OSX 10.6.7 running on an Evga 780i, well kinda. My big issue is booting from the HD and Internet access. The curious thing if I use nawcom modcd to install/run my LAN is totally stable but I can't boot from the HD. If I use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install/run I can thereafter boot from the HD but I have no Internet and trying to get my Network working causes system crashes.

 

So is there a way I can identify what files my Network is using when booting from modcd and then copy/use/install these when using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

You could go to Applications >>> Utilities >>> Console and look in the system.log and also type kextstat command in Terminal.....

I am attempting to install Snow Leopard retail on a P5N-D using the nForceSLBoot132DVD_for_SATA_DVDRW and the recommended BIOS settings. I attempt to boot the SL retail disc, but after an hour or so I still have the spinning color wheel.

 

What is a recommended next step? Since I'm using (best I can tell) the rec'd settings, and the custom bootloader, I'm not sure where to go from here.

 

TIA
