iDeneb v1.3 Post-Install Boot Problems

**ActionJaxon666** · 02-14-2009 02:56 PM

I've just installed iDeneb v1.3 on my PC, OS X installation completed without a hitch, only when the system reboots after installation do I get the grey Mac kernel panic box on the white Apple logo screen. Ive included as much info about my system as I can think useful below, any help appreciated:

CPU: Intel Pentium D E2220, 2.4GHz
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-EG41MF-S2H mATX Board
CHIPSET: Intel G41 + ICH7
HDD: 160GB SATA Hard Drive
GPU: Intel X4500 Onboard
RAM: 1x2GB 667MHz Corsair DDR2 RAM
OPTICAL: Acer slot-load slim IDE DVD-RW
AUDIO: Realtek ALC888 Audio
LAN: Realtek 8111C
PSU: Hiper 200W

*HDD formatted as Mac OS Extended - Have also tried formatting as Mac OS Extended (Journalled) but no change.

*The system started life an an Acer Aspire L200 HTPC media centre, but I found myself replacing board, CPU & memory to bring it up-to-date and stand a better chance of running OS X.

Your system looks great, but Im not sure if there support for your video

**ActionJaxon666** · 02-15-2009 05:37 PM

Hmm, I'm currently downloading each of the various OSx86 releases - Kalyway, iAtkos etc to see if I have any success with those

hmm Actually try to get the latest one cuz your video seems unsupported, try with iPC, ideneb 1.4 or XXX (yeh this is a distro XD)

PROBLEM RESOLVED!

I tried to boot using Verbose Mode to work out what this kernel panic was all about, amongst all the baffling lines of code all I could make out were references to Ethernet and network stuff, so I disabled my onboard LAN and now I boot into OS X fine!!

Now... if anyone can suggest how I get the Ethernet adapter mentioned in my original post working I'd much appreciate it! Or failing that, can anyone advise me how else I'd get online? If I go WiFi I'd have to use a USB WiFi adapter if I could get any of those working? Any suggestions?!

Did you get QE/CI?

**ActionJaxon666** · 02-17-2009 09:57 PM

Maybe, but I don't know what QE/CI is?!? All I know is that I appear to have no way on getting online

CASH REWARD TO ANYONE WHO CAN GET ME ONLINE WITH MY HACKINTOSH! (Thru Ethernet ideally)

I mean full support with your video card, post a screen shot of your Video in the system info ;P

Try installing this for LAN

**ActionJaxon666** · 02-19-2009 09:01 PM

There's not full support for the GMA X4500 GPU by any means, but it's enough to get OS X looking acceptable on my 30in 720p/1080i TV... is there a way I could improve on what's shown here based on this GPU?

UPDATED: I've managed to fix the Ethernet problem myself, I reinstalled iDeneb about seven times over, each time with a different config, and FINALLY I've got my onboard LAN working.

NEXT PROBLEM - The lack of support for the X4500 will probably always exist, and I can't play movies in iTune's as a result, so can anyone suggest or direct me to a list of current low-end PCI-E graphics cards that will work under iDeneb 1.3?
