Select one of those:

----EFI string for nVidia
-----DVI/DVI
-----DVI/VGA
-----VGA/DVI

Check in your PC which one do you have, in my case is DVI/HDMI, you can always, go to old enables and select nvinject, then add efi strings post installation thats it.

P.S. btw I used iatkos v7i to help you, no iAtkos v5

Excellent, I'll try that as soon as I get home.

Thanks!

So since my card is also DVI/HDMI, which one did choose? I assume DVI/DVI but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks again!

Hey icchansan-
Great guide, thanks so much. Understood everything, but just wondering before I try this...my motherboard isn't one of the ones you listed (the ASUS ones), it is a pegatron corp truckee v 1.04...a kind i've never heard of... but anyhow, can i still run osx on it? is there a different BIOS mod program I can download? Thanks for your help

-Brendan

can anyone help me with this:
i have a HP Pavillion Elite m9340f PC, i've installed ideneb 3 with leopard v.10.5.5 everything was ok, but when i tried to boot in mac os, it stays in the screen with the apple logo and a loading thing, but i cant go further. when i enter in -v mode, it says still waiting for root device, what can i dooo!?

Whats your specs, did you try to install? not with this guide... but did you try? check in the hcl to know if your mobo is in the list

Whats your specs? how did you customize your installation, did you mod your BIOS?

Success! (well, almost)

Thanks to your help icchansan, I was able to get OSX up and running!

I have audio enabled and my display is working fine. However, I'm still having trouble getting the LAN to work (Realtek 8111C), I downloaded the file from your original post, but have not been able to figure out how to install it. I did try installing the kext from "/RealtekR1000/Build/Release" using KextUtility, but that did not seem to fix the problem, I'm still getting a "Cable Unplugged" status.

Any ideas on this?

**Edit**
I went ahead and reinstalled using iATKOS and this time I selected "R1000" under Wired Network for configuration options, still not showing any kind of connection, I am positive the network is functional as I have several other PCs connected.

**Edit #2**
It's working now! Not sure why, but after I changed the port of my Xbox360 on the hub, it made the PC connect. Weird.

Hi all, just to tell you that in order to install Leopard on a Pavilion Elite (mine is is m9441.it) there is no need to patch the BIOS in order to have 4 cores working.

BIOS is now the latest official HP (5.35 if I remember well).
Here is what I did:
* installed iDeneb 1.6
* booted to linux in order to get original DSDT.dsl
cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.aml [to get the unpatched DSDT]
iasl -d dsdt.aml [to disassemble the DSDT]
* booted to windows
* got the patcher from ACPI (DSDT) Patcher for BIOS and AML - InsanelyMac Forum
* patched the DSDT.dsl (applied all fixes in the General tab of the patcher)
I end up with a cpdsdt.aml file that I renamed to DSDT.aml and copied to the root of the leopard partition.

My system boots now successfully and with all 4 cores working!

Hope it helps

icchansan-
I have looked into this and, as it turns out, earlier this year, asus split into three different sub-companies:ASUS, Pegatron, and Unihan. So I suppose my board should be similar to the older ASUS boards since they're still manufactured in the same place...though it isn't on the hcl. If i try the install and it turns out it's not compatible, what problems do you think i should expect during the install? Also, it seems to me that the BIOS-modding program you listed in the guide isn't used at any point in your directions...so i was wondering what it was for. Is it a program that you run prior to starting the install?
Thanks,
Brendan

Thx for your report tulindo now we can go back to our original BIOS, update to the latest and install this surely will help lots of users!!!

Ima try soon as possible with this and report back, then update the guide ^.^

Pointz Up!
