Can this card be removed, is it one you added to your system? If so, do you have onboard video? Can you remove your card and try plug into onboard?

OK,,I just answered my own question. I googled your MB and see that you have only one option as a cable to use.

(Phenom X6 1090T on ASUS motherboard, onboard ATI video)

 

I tried installing using BootCD 0.6, but I can't even get to the Mac OS X install screen.

 

It stops on a screen saying:

 

...

Reading HFS+ file: (...yada yada...)

ACPI table not found: DSDT.aml.

No DSDT found, using 0 as uid value.

Using PCI-Root-UID value: 0

Hello,

I have been trying your method (method 1) to get OSX running on my AMD machine with no luck. After running [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], hitting f5 to bring up the OSX install DVD and hitting enter it does it's thing, but then I get no video to the monitor (I see others have had this issue as well)

 

Here are my specs for the PC

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P

Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 965

Video Card: Nvidia GTX260 (manufactured by EVGA)

RAM: 8gb (4x2gb, I remove two sticks to bring it down to 4gb when installing)

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of any issues, or if I could get some help with this. Thanks!

I have made one mote attempt: I tried install method 2 and proceeded as stated using Chameleon RC4.

 

Running the installer from flash hangs on the gray screen just before the installer shows up. The mouse stays there and after some time it turns into the spinning beachball.

 

I tried then using BootCD 0.6 to boot the pendrive installer. With no flags the installer ran, but the hard disk was not recognized, the only disk showing up on the Disk Utility was the pendrive.

 

If I try to run it with -x I get the error:

 

ACPI table not found: DSDT.aml.

No DSDT found, using 0 as uid value.

Using PCI-Root-UID value: 0

 

Any ideas on how to solve it? Help is appreciated, thanks!

yes do setup on ide mode

 

Running just the SATA DVD on IDE mode still gives me the 'Still waiting for root device'.

Putting both the HDD (channels 1-4) and DVD channels (5 and 6) on IDE I am unable to start the DVD installation.

 

If you need some debugging info I can do it, if you tell me how to get it.

There is some funky business on this ASUS motherboard. Changing settings is making it behave erratically. To get it to work consistently I resetted the BIOS to factory defaults on every HDD setting change.

 

I can set AHCI or IDE for 2 port groups (1-4 and 5-6), but I have a single speed setting (3-6Gbps).

 

IDE+IDE: Still waiting for boot device error.

 

AHCI+AHCI, 3Gbps: Installation booted ! (it didn't before, this time I resetted the BIOS only set AHCI modes and saved it ONCE. Funky BIOS.) Disks recognized on installation, all good.

 

I followed all advice, updated to 10.6.4, installed Chameleon RC4, legacy kernel and FakeSMC.

 

If I boot with no parameters it stays at the apple logo screen and does not load the system.

I get a black screen early on boot if I use -v, can't get into installed system. Any help? Thanks!

Hi,

 

Seems I had bad stuff in the boot.plist in the /Extra folder. System is working now! I have to add drivers though...

 

But the boot sequence always stops with:

 

IOAPIC: Version 0x21 Vectors 64:87

 

I have to press enter for the boot process to continue.

 

Can I remove this pause in the boot process?

 

Thanks a lot for you patience Mohamed!
