I believe I have the exact some motherboard. One thing I have not managed to get working is the bluetooth. Now I have not followed your procedure, I just followed the standard TonyMacx86 guide. I am curious: could you expand a little on how to get the bluetooth working? I am...
Success!!
Just wanted to share with everyone I got the system fully working! The trick in my case was the boot flag:
ncpi=0x2000
After much searching and reading, I discovered the gems known as boot flags and making them permanent. Nothing like learning as you go! Thank you to everyone that...
Okay, still one last problem -- I can't boot without the iBoot disc. I thought I did the Multibeast thing incorrectly, so I ended up doing the whole thing over again --wiping the harddrive and literally doing everything again.
No dice, I still can't boot from the harddrive even with the...
Thank you very much for the help! By the way, I have a Microcenter local to me, so I went there on a whim and purchased a generic $15 SATA DVD Writer. Guess what? It worked!!!
As you can see, I'm doing the 10.6.8 update thing, so I'm not fully out of the woods yet. But I have NEVER gotten to...
It turns out I have an Asus Bluray, not a Samsung. Those Optiarcs seem to be discontinued now. Is there a known DVD drive that works well with Snow Leopard installation? Thank you!

Thank you for the help. Yes, legacy support was already enabled. Following your advice I turned off USB3 support, tried the whole process again and it ended up in the same spot -- with the text screen saying I needed to power down.
Is it possible my Samsung SATA BluRay DVD player is creating a...
I did as suggested: got a new harddrive and a video card off the compatible list. Long story short it still doesn't work -- the system goes through a long "install" process of Snow Leopard but then eventually hangs up indefinitely. I'd love to get this working but my luck and patience seems to...
Not to be thick-headed, but is this step absolutely necessary? I don't know how to go about getting a Linus "run time" to delete my HD's partition.
My DVD is absolutely on SATA port 0 and my HD is on port 1. Does that suggest my HD is the problem -- perhaps because it hasn't been wiped clean...
I tried again with iboot v2.5.2, which worked well... in that it still got me to the point of failure, i.e., the computer shuts down. Does it make a difference that my HD has a fully install of Windows 7 64bit on it? I was hoping that when I got to the OSX Disk Utilities screen, I would just...
Nope, DVI only.
Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look for a supported graphics card. Does it mean anything that I'm able to "see" the monitor the entire time up to the point of failure? It seems to work during the install process.
I've tried both the built-in Intel HD video and the ATI...
Hi folks. Long time lurker here. Great site and great forum!
Looking for some help. I have a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 board with i3-550. 4 GB RAM. SATA Bluray, SATA HD. 500 GB.
I can boot via iBoot, swap over to my Snow Leopard DVD, hit F5, and it goes through about 4 minutes of the blank white...
