I really am FEd UP trying to get this to work
mobo Asus p5g41t-m lx
cpu intel q9300 socket 775 quad core xeon
4gig corsair vengeance ddr3 ram (have another 4 Gig available but not installed
New ATI AMD Radeon6870Graphics
followed this install guide to the letter tried cpu's=1 and -x ..used Iboot original snow retail dvd.
the same two occurencies occur
1. end up eith the grey apple screen with a spinning icon and wont go further
2. kernal panics and stops.
I bought this mobo in the vain hope of getting a Hackintosh only, to run A legit Logic pro!
The q900 was pulled from an old Packard bell Ipower and transfered with the liquid cooler to a new case
This combo runs Windoze 7 ultimate with no hassles!!
clean install snow leopard on 1tb western digital hdd hfs not set (active) should be guid after install but dont get that far!
Had absolutely 000 joy on the Original Packard bell either as the bios was locked to Vista 64 that came with the Ipower
Set the bios as per the instructions but one thing is confusing? there is a setting in the asus bios for " Northbridge or " Southbridge" tried 'em both with no joy
Help me if you can I'm feeling DOWN
Regards
Ratty
BTW is there a way to install from an external USB HDD?
