Hi !

 

First excuse me for my bad english.

 

I have some problems to install mac os x on my PC.

 

My config is :

 

MB : ECS RX480-A

PROC : AMD Athlon 64 3200+

RAM : 2Go DDR2 800

HDD : 320Go IDE Maxtor

GC : NVidia 8600 GT 512

 

With the first BOOT CD the screen was freezed on grey Apple and don't change after select MacOSX dvd retail.

With the second BOOT CD the MacOSX dvd worked until tell me "MacOS X can't be install on this computer".

 

I use the official MacOSX 10.6 dvd included with ma MBP mid 2009.

 

Can you help me please ?

hey guys,

 

installed retail 10.6.2 from another MacOSX (similar to 2nd method) through installer -pkg OSInstall.mpkg -target /Volumes/...

 

installed all my kexts, chameleon, legacy_kernel and stuff, rebooted, everything worked (added fakesmc, AppleAC97Audio, nForceLAN, AppleNForceATA, for my GTX260 I used GraphicsEnabler=y in chameleon).

 

Great system!

 

But I'm currently stuck: yesterday I've installed it and it worked brilliantly. Today, after powering it off once completely, the graphics became really laggy and it's unusable. I didn't touch any of the kexts or system stuff before powering it off yesterday. I believe it may be a problem with the windows/linux graphics drivers loading something into either graphics memory or RAM, and without it (eg. after complete reboot with RAM clear), the bugs appear. However, I've not been able to reproduce my theory (booted windows, then just did a soft restart into MacOSX and it didn't work). Without the graphics drivers (/S*/L*/Ext*/NV*) it works fine, but in a low res and w/o QE/CI.

Else, the system works great, but this let's say key aspect just doesn't work and it spoils my fun with MacOSX (I've tried reinstalling it, same thing, works for a couple of hours, the next day again broken).

 

What the hell could be causing these bugs?

If I'm reading this correctly, you are saying your sata controller is in IDE mode? If this is true, then that is most likely the cause of your problem. It should be set to AHCI mode.

Stilll waiting for root device

 

DVD RW IDE Secondary Master - Boot CD 0.6

HDD SATA - place for new retail SL installation, one partition contains the SL Retail DVD (direct copy)

HDD IDE Primary Master - working SL installation - not retail

 

Board Asus A8N5X with Nforce 4

 

 

I have no Settings for the SATA in the Bios…

 

What can I do to install? I can’t even open the setup.
