Re: Official CustoMac Pro X58A-UD3R-2.0 Install Guide
Hi guys!
Im new here as you can see
Ive just bought the complete system, but I only got 4 Gb of ram instead of 6.
Got the Rev 2.0 of the gigabyte motherboard.
I cant seem to get the iBoot 5XXX 3 to boot properly, it loads the ramdisk and then it flashes to a black screen, I got a 24" samsung connected to the upper DVI connector on the Gigabyte 5770 gfx.
Tried the second one also...
What exact bios settings should I use?
Ive tried to burn the iBoot disk on dvds and cds but now luck at all...
***************
Got the problem solved and can confirm that I had some kind of problem with my nero application.
I burnt iBoot-5XXX 3 again, this time it worked.
BIOS settings that I changed:
Advanced BIOS Features -> First Boot Device -> CD-Rom
Advanced BIOS Features -> Second Boot Device -> Harddrive
Integrated Peripherals -> ICH SATA Control Mode -> AHCI
Integrated Peripherals -> USB Keyboard Function -> AHCI
Integrated Peripherals -> USB Mouse Function -> AHCI
Integrated Peripherals -> eSATA Ctrl Mode -> AHCI
Power Management Setup - > HPET MODE -> 64-bit mode
I installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard with the Successfull screen, then I rebooted the computer with the iBoot-5XXX 3 cd and it loads the ramdisk and it just goes to a black screen.
Anyone got any Idea how to solve this?

Trying and trying... I just disconnected my harddrive and then I could get the iBoot disk to boot properly, but when I connect it then the screen goes black.
Is it my harddrive or what?

Got the stuff to work with reinstall, I also did a complete format on the drive, making 3 partitions with GUID Table format settings.
Rebooted and booted with the iBoot disk, got the EBIOS error and rebooted again, now everything worked. Im currently at the Welcome screen and will try to continue with the next stage.
Im writing this installation log here because if there is some other soul in this world that has these problems and are about to give up!
Admin you can delete it if its to much!
