Can't get any help at another site

O.K here is the problem. I'm following the instructions I have below. First I want to say thanks to all the very smart people that take time out of their day to help newbies like me. This is my first post. I've spent many hours over the last month just reading. I have the most success with the IPC release. With IDeneb I could get Leopard with a whole bunch of steps but no ethernet, sound or video. With IPC and following the instructions I have listed below. I have a Leopard that boots and runs very fast and has ethernet. Still no audio or video. Instructions say not to install a video driver because of crashes. I've tried both with and without. With video driver(NVDarwin 256mb) during install I get to a screen that shows my motherboard(gforce 630i - nforce7100). But the last line is something like usr/bin something and starting. Left overnight and stayed there. If I don't install video I boot into Leopard just fine. 2 Problems though. I have 2 sound choices. My built-in HDMI or my emu 0404 pci card. There is a beta driver for the emu which I have installed but when I go to sound it shows emu 0404 but says this device has no output or input controlls. I also have tried using EFI studio to get my display working but I try to restart and it just hangs at Apple screen. Also after first install I am only showing 1 core. So I run the GUID patcher and patch dsdt to my leopard partion. Upon restart I get a panic and have to restart manually. Will restart and boot back into Leopard and shows 2 cores. I guess I could leave the patch out and run on only 1 core. It is very fast either way. I am trying to install on my Western Digital drive. Any help with video and sound would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I just tried Ideneb 10.5.6. Installed but stuck at black screen. I tried to get my specs in my sig but couldn't find out how.



OSX86 on MSI P7N Diamond
BIOS version 1.2
Core2Duo e6400 oc to 2.8 ghz
3gb ram
40gb Seagate 7200.7 SATA HD on internal nForce SATA
IDE DVD on nForce IDE
USB Mouse and Keyboard
EVGA 8800GT 512 Working at 1680x1050 QE/CI Hardware acclerated with EFI String device id 0x061110de (G92)

Required:

iPC 10.5.6 DVD
Use USB Keyboard and mouse.

1. Go to BIOS and load fail-safe defaults. Boot from DVD. Press f8 and boot using cpus=1 -v if it wont

boot normally.

2. Partition drive as you like with disk utility in menu at top.

3. Customize Install with ONLY these options:

voodoo kernel 9.5
applenforceata nforce drivers
forcedeth V variation (won't work but enumerates device, may not be necessary)
acpi fix
seatbelt.kext 10.5.5
uuid error fix
dsdt patch (first one in the list)


any apps you want, but definetly DSDTPatcherGUI. You will need this.

DO NOT SELECT ANY VIDEO DRIVERS AT ALL!!! I suspect many failed OSX86 installs fail because of gfx

drivers that work incorrectly or for some reason or another crash the system before it even boots. So

just get your system up and running first, and then add gfx later.

4.Skip DVD check.

5.After Installation restart and boot with -v -f. If it restarts, try cpus=1 -v -f. If you get a kernel

panic about ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin :: Start... error or some crap like that, do this:

Boot using cpus=1 -s . At prompt type:

CODE
*******************************************
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /system/library/extensions
cd ioplatformpluginfamily.kext
cd contents
cd plugins
ls
rm -rf ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext
ls
exit
**********************************************

6. Wait patiently for first boot. Might take ten minutes. If it is slow, the likely reason is that

something on the install is maxing out your cpu processor. Just wait and finish the setup.

7. When you are logged in for the first time, Open Activity Monitor to verify if your cpu is maxed out or

not.

8. If it is, open your Applications folder and run DSDTPatcherGUI. Select Apply DSDT Patch TO: and select

your OSX86 partition. DO NOT SELECT HPET OR ANY OTHER OPTIONS. This seems to fix the maxed out core and

also seems to enable both cores on my Core 2 Duo.


9. Restart and boot with -v. Booting should be much quicker now! Check Activity Monitor again to check

your cpu. Both cores working! Yay!

10. The only issue with the voodoo kernel is that restarting and shutting down leads to kernel panic.

11. You can try vanilla kernel now if you want, but you must use cpus=1. S3 sleep does work but only with vanilla.

12. Install your GFX drivers.
