Re: Trouble with GA-P55M-UD2, i5-760, gts-250
Well I decided that I wouldnt give up that easily, so I decided to try once more. In my previous attempts I had been trying to get things running on a dual booting, computer with multiple partitions.
This time I tried a fresh install onto an 80gig ide drive with nothing other than OSX. I had to use the nvidia-iboot disc since the supported wouldnt work. After the OSX install I was able to boot up using the disc. I then installed 10.6.4 and multibeast. I first tried installing just the proper dsdt.aml file and system utilities, but resulted in a computer that would start to boot, but then put a circle with a slash on top of the loading apple logo and seemingly stop.
I had to use an older tonymacx86 iboot disc to get into osx because after the update and multibeast the nvidia-iboot disc would no longer get me anywhere. Once back into osx, I re-ran multibeast the exact way that tonymac did in the above video. When I tried booting into osx then, I had to use the busratio=22 and also passed the -v to see the output. The system hangs at a waiting for root device or something after polling the firewire.
I have tried passing the -x and graphicsenabler=yes options too, ( i usually need the -x when installing and normally booting) but ultimately after the update I am unable to boot into osx without the older tonymacx86 disc. Any other ideas guys as to where things are going bad?
