Thread: Problems X6 1100T & M4N98TD EVO

Alright let me lay this out as best as I can.

System Specs:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
ASUS M4N98TD EVO
8GB Corsair DDR3 1600
EVGA 560 Ti Superclocked (2 in SLi)

Using the guide: http://www.osx86.net/desktops/9746-g...-10-6-amd.html

I got Snow Leopard booting fine the first time after the install. Was running smooth, video support was the only real problem. From my understanding there is no way to get the 5XX series cards working right in snow leopard? Thats fine was just gonna have it there and waiting for when a Lion kernel becomes availible.

Anyways, rebooted and it was hit or miss whether or not it would boot, at this point I had not installed Chamelon yet was just using the NawCom Mod CD to select the OS and boot. It seemed it did not matter whether or not i used the -Force64 command, if it dident boot the first time, if i rebooted it would boto in the second time.

Now after rebooting for the second time my network card stopped working, it was working previously but after the first boot it just doesnt seem to want to work anymore.

Reinstalled SL again and this time figured id try installing chamelon and see if that helped at all. Installed chamelon and rebooted. Now OS X won't boot at all, it goes to start the OS, the grey screen and apple logo comes up but then the computer just reboots, i tried this a few times using different options in the Chameleon install with no luck.

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Try the flag`s below...

Code:

cpus=1 busratio=16 maxmem=2048 arch=i386 -f -v

If you was able to boot the system, update Chameleon to the latest, generate a new org.chameleon.Boot using Chameleon Wizard with the options on the boot flag and reboot to see if works...

If everything works, update to 10.6.8, install legacy_kernel 10.6.8 and reboot...

Tell if works..

I'll give it a shot later on and let you know, going to take a break for the rest of the day. I have been slaving over getting OSx86 working on one of the many machines I have laying around here. Wife's starting to hate me.

I'll post back later on tonigth and let you know, I did try the busratio command and i386 command already

OK...

Try the combination of flag`s and tell the results... You need to use all above flag`s at same time...

Hello, I have also the same motherboard I'm did follow the same guide as you but I can't install and boot the Snow Leopard retail dvd or the Hazard SL distro, I did enable AHCI in the Motherboard what other settings did you change in the Bios in order to not obtain the still waiting for root device error?
