Hello.
I'm stuck right after I switch the Iboot CD to the SL retail DVD and press f5 and enter (or enter bootflags) ..that's when I either get a black screen or the white screen with the apple logo and the DVD stops reading the disc.
Hardware
Corsair 8GB (2x8092MB) CL10 1600Mhz VENGEANCE
Corsair SSD Force 3 Series 120GB (connected to white Sata ports (also tried blue)
Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3 mITX
Gigabyte Radeon HD6850 1024MB OC
Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3GHz
Optiarc AD-7710H SATA, OEM Slim (connected to white sata ports (also tried blue)
(this is a mini-itx build)
My Bios Settings : (F7 firmware)
I've tried everything and anything and different combinations of the following settings :
- changing the CPU multiplier to 28x ,29x, 30x , 31x, 32x
- disabling CPU Turbo, speedstep, EIST and C-States, disable all CPU mgt
- changed IDE to ACHI
- changed HPET to 64-bit
- prioritise Intel graphics, internal graphics priority always on,
- changing all the cpu "auto" to enable
- ACPI state "S3 STR"
I also tried removing one of the memory sticks so I only run 8gbs, and I've removed the hd6850 card as well.
Boot flags and errors
-v -x (goes to black screen)
ACPI table not found: DSDT.aml.
ACPI table not found: SSDT.aml.
FADT: Restart fix applied!
Starting Darwin x86
-x (goes to black screen)
PCIRootUID=1 (goes to White screen with grey apple logo, nothing happens, DVD stops reading the disc)
no flag (goes to White screen with grey apple logo, nothing happens, DVD stops reading the disc)
and a combination of the above gives me the same messages as above...
tried -s -x and GraphicsEnabler=no (internal ) or yes for gigabyte radeon card and vice versa.. same thing as above
thanks!!! really appreciate all the help ... I've been reading the forums for hours, googling and trying every method and guide available ... my hardware is "recommended" by tonymacx , why I can't get it to work is a mystery to me ....
I would try Lion but I don't have access to a mac at the moment....
What to do ???
