iDeneb 10.5.7 Phenom II dvd boot issue...

**madnav** · 09-28-2009 08:13 PM

Hello everyone..
this is my 1st post here.

basically im a noob to hackintosh and this is the 1st time im trying my luck with it.
i need help regarding iDeneb 10.5.7 with pre-applied PPF patch...which i got via *ahem* Swedish source

my system specs:
AMD Phenom II X2 550BE
Biostar TA790GXBE (790GX/SB750)
2x 1GB 800MHz DDR2 GSkills
Sapphire radeon HD4850 512MB Vanilla

im experimenting to install this on 80GB sata drive...my dvd rw is also sata.

the dvd returns kernel panic error defualt way (without any flags)

a little reading around solved that issue..
flag busratio=X helps go past that error..

now new error... 'still waiting for root disk'
..this one gets resolved by setting AHCI mode for dvd rw.

next error... panic(cpu 0 caller) kernel trap at ....
error code: 0x00000000
thread: diskarbitrationd
this one gets solved if i use
anv -v busratio=X

then there comes one more error..

same cpu 0 caller error with thread = kernel_task..

i have set CoolnQuiet = Disabled.

also i can not boot with Qoopz 9.7.0 kernel...
i see a 970 kernel in /root but 970 flag doesnt boot it... (but anv flag does boot AnV kernel

)

have tried -x -F and cpus=1 flags but that doesnt not help at all.

thank you for reading my thread..

please help

Can you get Leo4All AMD only Kernel from your Swedish source? That's the only distro that worked on my 790GX.

i checked HCL 10.5.6 listings on wiki and biostart 790GX along with phenom II was listed to be working with iDeneb.. so i downloaded 10.5.7 iDeneb assuming it would work

anyways...
i went though some of the threads around and it seems that people have had luck with the said combo..

i will check the dvd for errors..

will look into what you suggested.
thank you

You checked HCL 10.5.6 but you are trying to install 10.5.7? Try Leo4All as I already mentioned it.

no progress

trying with leo4allv4.1

disk I/O error for the installaion disk...in AHCI mode too..
but no kernel panic so far

can it be due to sata dvd rom?
