Hozra Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 First of all Change the SATA Configuration in the Bios to AHCI Mode. Please remove all the external devices that you have connected to your computer. Disable the onboard LAN and also remove the external LAN card if you have one. Have you tried iATkos OSX?. If iDeneb is not working then try that one and see............ My BIOS was changed SATA to ACHI before installation of MAC. I have no external devices. Only MOBO P5Q Deluxe, C2D 8500, Video Zotac NVIDIA 8600 GT, DDR2 Kingston 1066 - 2GB, HDD Segate SATA, DVD SATA. I have tried iATKos OSX, but installation is fault . And I aslo tried Leo4All 10.5.3 and again fault Screen for iDeneb 10.5.5 (after installation and before first booting) What i must check in the Custom before installation? kernel, software etc...

marionez Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Same here... I suppose it's caused by the latest BIOS update 1611, but I'm not sure. Bios 1611 modded was already flashed on the old installation, then I did a complete reinstallation it booted ok, then I did the mac update and I received the kernel panic error during the operation. I think I'll try to flash back the 1501 modded bios, I can't even start the installation and I received some error about "don't steal mac osx" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out messsage "command not found". Also i observe, that CPU error (similar to "cpns=1" etc.) often happen at installation with diffrent kernel's and BIOS. I used 9.0.4 kernel of iDeneb.

marionez Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 excuse me... the command is: rm -rf AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext You have to go in the /System/Library/Extensions/ directory maybe browsing it from /Volumes/yourmacdisk/System/Library/Extensions/ So the command should be: rm -rf /Volumes/yourmacdisk/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext Substitute yourmacdisk with your OSX86 disk label I don't remember if it needs the "sudo" before the command, but I think no.

moisi Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 i can't go back with the 1501bios, 'cause the sofware for vista tells the bios 1501 is older than mine(1611), ad when i go in the ezflash dos software, it tells me that the boot blocks are not valide. how can i downgrade my bios in 1501, please. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marionez Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 @Moisi you need to run AFUDOS 2.07 (google for it) from a DOS boot USB key or floppy with obviously the BIOS file you want to flash, then you give: AFUDOS /ifileNAME.ROM /pbnc /n I don't think the problem is the BIOS but I'm not sure, because I downgraded then removed the kext directory. @Hozra you are using the single user mode, instead you have to start the installation, maybe with -x, then on the top you have some menus, you click on Utility then on Terminal and you should remove the directory.

tadpole Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Couple of questions. NVkush is not working for my ATI 3450 video card (512MB), even though I updated the info.plist file via NVkush and deleted Geforce and NV* kexts. Do I need to delete any other kexts? I need a resolution of 1680x1050. Any suggestions? Using iAtkos right now. Also, is it possible to do a retail install on the P5Q? I tried following the instructions on the Retail DVD Guide but I get an error (cannot install on this disc) when I try and "open OSInstall.mpkg".

marionez Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I updated OSX to 10.5.6 everything works, not the audio! It's quite strange because the only thing that sounds it's the lastfm itunes plugin, itunes alone doesn't sounds, firefox flashplayer plugin doesn't sound, vlc doesn't sound. Any help?
