Hi Everyone,
I know this is stretching the bounds, but I purchased a Biostar TH55B (Corsair DDR3 4GB, I5-661, WD 500GB SATA), which has a busratio=25. In minutes I'm retrying the install because the IBoot, tonymac86, or Empire EFI CD's could not see the Mac formatted drives ,when i used the wrong bus ratio(without read the forums fully), on a usb key(Sony 16GGB) partitioned to 8GB's or the 500GB drive(Would try to boot if set, but hangs which indicates MB see's drive and boot code is trying to start).
When that completed, I pressed restart and the system shutdown, rebooted with no hang. I copied the usb key partition,with Disk Utility, to the WD HDD and rebooted to see if that drive was detected, neither the usb key that is plugged in or SATA WD HDD show on the screen. Curiously, I was wonder why the 500GB NTFS drive is visible but not the 500GB HFS drive? In addition, the 80GB Ubuntu drive is not detected by any of the boot cd's I've tested across several Intel processor's.
Well, the answer is I guess is speed, because as I was writing this message the system finished and rebooted and the iBoot CD saw the disk. The OS is live and kicking ass, now to complete the setup and see what is working. Ok Multibeast is next.
Huston, we have lift-off!!! (Network and Video are still not fully functional posting.php?mode=edit&f=3&p=11490#)
I had issues, with the MultiBeast installer crashing which required a forced quit. I need to put the busratio=25 in the plist or it has isssues booting. Hopefully after rebuilding the the cache's the network will come back(It worked before the 10.6.3 update, which is how I installed 10.6.3 in the first place). I do have to set busratio=25 in boot plist file before the systems boots up without intervention.
More issues where I made mistakes in re-applying the 10.6.3 and Multibeast caused the installation to become none responsive, therefore a complete re-install was in order and a note to determine which kext is getting updated that adversely affects the network card.
[Update]: With the addition of the PNY graphics card the system seem functional, but the processor still reports as unknown. I would love to know how to fix this as my system is seen as a PowerPC when I try to install silverlight.
