Finally it's here  I've manage to install it once long time ago but, it still very early so could not find any help for sound and display driver on the net so I revert it back to Windoze, I remember I do take the snapshot of About My Mac.. will try to find back the screenshot, will post it ASAP! BTW, anyone can tell me any Intel mainboard that 100% compatible with x86 OS X? Some ppl recommend D915GUXLX and D915GLVGL but since I'm searching for dual core mainboard, 915 chip not a right choice.. Now I manage to find few list of Intel board: D963FX DG965WH DG965RY DP965LT D975BX D945PSN D945GNT D955XBX Among all above, which one is the most compatible with x86 OS X? Thanks, Cheers  |

I've use Intel 965 board and it works flawlessly, sometime got error tough. I don't think there's hardware spec in PC environment that will 100% compatible with OS X because of the EFI and BIOS thingy. Correct me if I'm wrong  |

I try to install JaS 10.4.6 to a PC with this spec P4 630 3.0Ghz/4 x 512MB RAM/200GB HDD/Asus P5VD1-X and it could not be install. At first I boot from the DVD and choose to install then the process goes on, but then it halt with messages: Waiting from root system.. and after few seconds the next line shows the same messages. Until half an hour still like that with 20 - 30 line of that messages. What is it?

I'm using JaS 10.4.8 now, and it installed well except for the audio driver (soundmax) and the resolution stuck at 1024x768 and my LCD is 17" so looks a little bit blur. Any way to increase my resolution to.. erm let say 1280x1024? My graphic card is ATI 9250.. Oh and yes, the audio!

QUOTE(allvin @ Jul 12 2007, 12:03 PM) The audio, you can try this. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=15555For your gc, it kinda old and hard to enable CI/QE. You can try the old method to force to change the resolution. Before you boot to Osx86, press F8 and type "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@85". If it works for you, then you can mess up with the boot plist. Go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Copy the file to desktop and open that file using text editor. Add this two lines: CODE
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32@85</string>
Save the file and paste to that directory again. Repair permission via diskutility. Remember, try the first step before you mess up with the boot plist.  Ntg wrong using old iso. Who so dumb to dl the new iso again if you already got a good working iso? Btw, i using JaS as well and now updated to 10.4.10 without problem The first step didn't work for me, when I press F8 nothing happen it just boot to OSX. I guess it didn't work for me. Will the try audio later but mine is SoundMax, will it work since the driver is for AC97? |

This is what I got when try to update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10: The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple".
In easy words, I failed to update it using usual way. But others I didn't know..

I got this error "Waiting for root device" or "SAM multimedia READ or WRITE failed"
Is it because I'm using SATA HDD?
