ASUS H97I-Plus Hangs

First I did search and ready every thread there is on this motherboard. I still cant get it to work..

So here are the specs:

Asus H97I-Plus
BIOS 2304 (latest)
Set the BIOS settings per instructions (VD-x off, etc)
2 x 4GB DDR3
SATA HD
SATA DVD Rom
Intel Core i3 4360

Im using the iBoot Haswell and yes Im trying to install Snow Leopard and I know there are issues, but it seems it has been done per the forums.

I have tried every boot flag under the sun, -v -v -PCI, the system gets to the white screen with the Apple logo and thats where it ends.

using the -v option the last entry is "AppleIntelE100e(info): changing MTU from 0 to 1500"

I am using HDMI to a 1080P monitor

Any help MUCH appreciated! Im going coo coo over here!

Thanks!

try with -v npci=0x2000 or with -v npci=0x3000

Ok so prior to reading this I disabled the network interface, and now Im getting an install. So it was/is the networking interface for sure.

Now of course I wont have any network as I disabled it. That said I DID purchase Yosemite, but I will need, of course, the App Store to download it... should I start over adding the boot flags, or is there a way I can enable my ethernet after the fact?

BTW thanks for the VERY quick response...

I re-enabled the network interface and tried booting with the two flags and same error. If I disable the interface, the system will boot and I can run the OS fine...

So plot thickens...

Any ideas...

Thanks again!

Hey all,

Ok so this does not seem to be working... is there a PCI NIC that will work out of the box? I can install it in the PCIe slot and got from there...

Bummer part is, this is all just to get to a working install of Yosemite.. so I just need a temporary "fix".

Thanks!

I see a few people have got the SL install to work on these..

Anyone out there have some pointers on how to get the network running.. I tried a few different .KEXT files with the Tonymac KEXT installer, same issue.

I did find that the network controller is a Intel I218V, as apposed to the I217V which seems to be supported.

Again if there is a temp solution (NIC or wireless) that is plug and play here, that would work also!

Thanks in advance!

You will need a kext installer to install the kext ... one is available from the downloads.
