Cassio Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've never seen something like that. At which point does it happen? Did you check the md5 of downloaded file? I guess it's a video problem, this 1002:515e is on-board video, right? Maybe if you use an off-board video card.

If I need a ned video card to get the server version going, im going to purches one. Any "cheap" recomendations? Your support is much appreciated!

Â You rock!! -That did work! Now two other problems... the mouse is not working (pluged in the PS2 port), and the second problem. No disk(s) is showing when I get to the screen "select the disk..." Any sugestion for a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The installer includes PS/2 kexts, so if it doesn't work I suggest using USB mouse. Can you see the HD in Disk Utility? If not, configure SATA as AHCI in BIOS.

If not, configure SATA as AHCI in BIOS. Â Mouse solved by using a USB one. The BIOS setting are a little more difficult. I can not se a option of "AHCI". Under sata controller I have the option "ATA mode" and "off". Is this where it stops? FYI I have to more disks connected than the spec shows in the first post. Does this have anything to do with the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Do you see the HDs in Disk Utility or not?

Run System Info under Windows and post a screenshot http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=63 o Yes, I do get to the Disk utility. The only option I get is CD rom and the USB stick. I have tried for hours to tweak the BIOS settings, and hoping that the HD would apear, but no. I cant get the system info to save on file. I took a picture of it insted - hope it helps. Today my 4 HD`s are connected to the SAS controller, and NOT directly to the MB. I dont have the right cables to test it, so I need to get back to that, if thats the case. by the way... I found a link that has screenshots of my BIOS. If you have time, and I dont minde if you take a peek http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/113975-poweredge-840-won-t-boot-with-addition-of-new-hard-drive If you a sugestion what to do, Im more than happy to try it!

Cassio Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The "System Info" I talked about is the app in the link I gave you, there's a Windows version. I guess you'll have to connect the OS X HD directly in the mobo.

Cassio Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 We have reports of LSI Logic working in Mac OS, but it's not your device http://Olarila.com/kexts/ If you use the mobo SATA ports it should work.
