hi i have a HP PC with phoenix bios (too little options)
mi proccesor is a core 2 duo 6400, 2 GB of DDR800 in dual channel mode
Nvidia 9800GT-1GB

when i try to install on an usb hard drive
(not so relevant) the monitor goes no signal and it goes suspend mode and the DVD reads something a few seconds, it happens in different stages of instalation: before i select the destination, when installer is checking DVD, when installer is writting on the hard drive, etc}
i tryed -s -x modifiers, 1-CPU fix, ACMI fix
i dont know what is happening, my ram and CPU are fine it did not giveme any other problems

If you are having the issue where you boot the CD to the grey screen with the apple OR to the leopard wallpaper with the spinning beachball, try to use this Boot CD…

http://www.4shared.com/file/53547099/b8769aab/BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.html

It has the dsmos.kext and seems to be working for most people with the before mentioned problems.

I did not make this Boot CD, if it works for you all credit should go to K.I.S.S at InsanelyMac forums.

Good Luck!

Great… 80% of you guys asking questions don’t even know the basic specs about your PCs/mobos (Intel Core 2 duo quad…), in some cases I’m really surprised that you managed to run Windows!

It wasn’t easy for me too to install it on P5K vanilla, but I know every little spec of my machine and some of you guys just don’t get the problem, i.e. why it is a bad idea to try it with Pentium IVs, non-Intel chipsets (all combined with a non-hacked kernel) and so on.

Just a little hint: If you describe your PC by saying “it’s a Dell” or something just stop trying to do it, because if you ain’t able to get infos about the hardware you use, how in hell are you going to do the install, bootloader and kext installing?

And no, it won’t work with IDE DVD-drives in 99% of all cases, it can’t work so you don’t need to worry about that any longer…

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wanna tell anybody what he/she should or should not do, but if you’re not really an advanced user who understands about chipsets, graphics and hardware in general… you’re most likely just wasting your time.

I boot the boot-132 disk just fine and I boot the leopard disk and get to the apple boot screen, after that I just get a blank sky-blue screen for hours and I am stuck here…

Hi Vinay Prashar,
I hope you answer. When I change DVD and put the Mac OS Retail DVD on, it starts loading some kexts and then the screen change the font, some lines goes quickly and then the computer restarts. My motherboard is an “Asus P5L 1394″ and I haven’t found any image for my mobo (so I’m using the generic iso) What can I do? Hope you answer Vinay, and a lot of thanks
