Hi,
I have a system like:

MSI K9A2 CF (SB600-790X)
4GB Ram
2x250 GB sata hdd
1x60 GB ide hdd
HD 3850 video card
M-Audio 24 / 96 sound card
LG DVD drive ide

I tried every way with Lawless distro and could boot in only safe mode. BIOS setup is sata (IDE) and there is no AHCI selection.

at least I could see the desktop in safe mode but ethernet and video card didn't work.

I could use anyhelp, thank tyou for such a nice work.

please explain what you are modifying the root for via -s right after the installation... is this to bypass the account creation loop? if it is, make sure you are doing this process correctly... state your procedures (exactly) here and we can help you better...

for the second paragraph... if it hangs, tell us what it hangs at... it isn't much help if we can't see what you see.

This install was built on that motherboard please review your bios settings. Also update the bios because before i did i could not run hardware virtualization on virtual pc. So i know for a fact the bios mine shipped with had serious issues. Also dont put a 125watt cpu in it they dont last long

I have 3 HDD's and I use 60GB PATA(ide) for Mac. I already updated my BIOS to 1.7 version which is most recent update for K9A2 CF. my LawlessPPC distro install efforts' steps are below.

In BIOS I've set SATA features disabled
Enabled SATA and RAID mode on/off
Removed SATA HDDs
Disabled all integrated perihephals
While installing, I choose none of graphics cards/ HD 38x0 / HD 3800 support
In safe mod i installed graphics package
with osx86 tools tried to enable QE/CI

none of these attemps didn't work.

still after apple logo there is a funny commadore 64 graphics and couldn't make LAN work.

Also my CPU's power consumption is appear to 89 watts according to AMD's web site. But I found that Triple Core 8450 model is 65 watts. maybe I could change my CPU. Will it be ok with Leopard?

I hope you can help me with those information above.

Thank you for your time and nice work.

Hi all,

First of all thanks to Lawless, his distro was third I've tried and it worked.

Edit : Problem solved, with capping maxmem

Though there is 1 issue I wanted to ask if U ppl might know. When starting Transmission it checks my old transfers, but after couple mins PC freezes asking to reboot. Same problem when I try to patch Mac combo 10.5.5 update, and happened today transferring pictures from digital camera.
Other than that works flawlessly. Thanks in advance.

This is on:
CPU : Phenom 9850 BE
MB : Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6
RAM : 4GB @ 1066
HDD : SATA AHCI
VIDEO : ATI 3870
