RoberT_XeS Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I tried to install iPC 10.5.56 on my pc after booting, I see this error: "Still waiting for root device". I changed sata as AHCI but error repeated. My system is: motherboard: Asus P5Q(bios updated to 1611 MacOS moded) CPU:q9400 Ram:8(4*2 Apacer 800MHZ) HDD:Sata Western Digital 320GB+Sata Maxtor 1000GB DVD-RW: IDE Liteon 22X VGA:xfx 9800gtx+ also I tried with only maxtor hdd as IDE but error repeated. what can i do to install mac? is ipc suitable for my pc?If no what is you recommendation ? The Problem is with your DVD Drive....You should have a SATA DVD Drive or a Convertor which can make your IDE DVD Drive as a SATA Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crais Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hello, I'm new to the forums. I've installed Snow Leopard on my PC, and I have one major issue. But first, my config is: P5Q-E, Q9700, 4GB ram. I have Marvell Gigabit Lan integrated on my MBO My issue is that my Ethernet naturally wasn't working, so I installed IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip and skge_for_P5Q_Deluxe.zip Since the network cards are exactly the same (I used kext helper). That did not fix anything, but only created more problems. Now, whenever I go to system preferences, and click on the Network icon, the Sys Preferences window just stops responding and I have to use Force shutdown. I removed the kexts from S/L/E, rechecked disk permissions, and the problem persists. I don't see any solution but to reinstall the OS. Is there any other way to solve this?

euphoria89 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I would also like to add my thanks to all that posted in this thread. I tried to get a system up and running about 9 months ago, but didnt search for any guides, so ended up downloading all the different versions of modified OSX and just tried each of them in the hope one would work! Then i managed to find this guide after i was interested to see if Snow Leopard had been 'cracked', which sort of made me think about trying again with a proper guide (with pics) to follow. Anyway, backed up my documents and followed this guide. (although some small changes) System Spec: Asus P5Q Pro (was on official 2002 bios, now running Juzzi 2102 modified as posted on this page of this thread) Q9550 @ 3.8ghz 8GB DDR2 1066mhz 1TB Samsung F3 ATi 4870 1GB M-Audio ProFire2626 Onboard Ethernet PCI Firewire Controller (Texas Instruments) + Onboard Firewire I actually used iATKOS v7 (10.5.7) simply because i downloaded the wrong torrent, i was intending to follow the v5 (10.5.5 or 10.5.6) guide as explained. Upon first time of starting up, i got a grey screen and thought 'this aint gonna work' but after a reset and a single boot with -x, managed to get into OSX. Of course, resolution was super huge but it worked! For Kexts, i used the ATI 48xx driver package that is posted at the start of another thread. Just a simple install and reboot and it was all good. Even my second HDTV (DVI-HDMI) worked at its native resolution and had overscan applied instantly! I got the orange icons, so downloaded the two zips that fix this, again no problem (in the guide). Only one i couldn't get working instantly was the ethernet controller. The kext you posted installed ok, but just didnt recognize the controller. So i follow your link on the guide to other kexts drivers, and downloaded another and it worked and recognised as soon as i installed it via kexthelper. USB and firewire also work no problems. Only part i cant get to work is the shutdown. Restart works, but shutdown doesnt seem to. The system sort of hangs and isnt responsive, but to be honest, its the least of my worries! I've tried the fixes posted but still doesnt seem to want to work. Will keep trying and testing I was expecting loads of errors and problems even once i had installed OSX, but so far it's been about 12 hours and its running just fine. Next i need to get myself another hard drive and figure out how to dual boot with Windows 7, but first, on to SL! I'm so happy i've got it working that i may even do my own little mini-guide for anyone with similar specs. As soon as you know what your doing, you can have OSX installed faster than you can Windows 7! It's amazing, everything works far better than i ever expected it to, and the speed of it is unbelievable. My main concept was to get Logic 9 running (for uni) along side Pro Tools M-Powered. Have i got them installed and working, you bet! Again, thanks to all that posted and contributed in the thread. Reading your comments and problems seemed daunting at first, but since has helped me with small problems. Oh, one quick question. OSX 10.5.x cant access 8GB RAM right (32-bit)? Are the rules identical to 32-bit Windows? i.e. 4gb MAX shared between all devices (inc GPU memory etc) and 2gb per application? Cheers from a very happy chap! Nathan.

heywes Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hello First, thank you for all your guides, they are awesome and have so much information, i have learn't alot! Secondly, i have an issue. Using an Asus p5q se2, i followed your instructions for iDeneb installation, i flash the Bios using Smith@@ bios for my motherboard and then installed the OS. Installation completes with no issues and goes smoothly. The only problem is now that im trying to boot it up its not loading. When i try using "-v" to see the issue it says: Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPCI. Im wondering if you have had any experience with this and know how to fix it as googling and checking other posts with the problem hasn't given me much information to get it working. Thank you in advance for any information and help you can give me Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dona3000 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hello I followed this tutorial, installed iDeneb and flashed a modded bios and it doesn't work. I can install iDeneb, I do it and when it's finished the computer reboots and ... doesn't boot Mac OS X. I have the same thing than when I have only got the CD ... I tried booting with this command : "rd=disk0s5 -v" and it doesn't work either ... Mac OS X boots (I see white text on black) and then instead of booting it goes to the installation menu. When I dont put the CD in the computer, it shows me something like this : CD Boot priority .. boot0 : error (I don't remember exactly) And I can't boot to 7 anymore ... It doesn't ask me to choose any OS ... I don't know what to do anymore, please help PS : Sorry for my poor english Edit : I forgot : I've got a P5Q, I don't know exactly what model but I had to choose 2102 bios for it to work with the Acer Tool.
