Well, I came across this lovely little thread here when searching about google. I thought 'Oh hey. I'm using that exact same motherboard right now.' And thought that it might be nice to give this here idea a try. So right now I'm torrenting kalyway leopard and thinking about what I'll need to prepair. I'll download the ALC885 driver mentioned in the first post and probably a display driver.

One thing bothers me, though. I'm using the onboard raid controller for a level zero array. I remember when I installed windows I had to use a program to place the driver needed into my windows install image. I forget why, but it only wanted to accept the driver via floppy disk and I have no floppy disk drive. Am I going to run into similar in order to get my RAID working?

Will mac's built-in partitioner be able to deal with this? Anything else I should be concerned with? Thanks in advance for the advice. Well, I came across this lovely little thread here when searching about google. I thought 'Oh hey. I'm using that exact same motherboard right now.'

I would not count on the onboard RAID working with OSX, Apple likes to use it's own RAID tools/config for RAID. The reason you had to use the 'F6' method (and your floppy drive) when you installed windows to get RAID working is that Windows does not include native raid drivers so that F6 method allows you to install those drivers during the installation process. I have an 8 core set up now and I am running a very stable raid but I created it after I installed Leopard.

So if I were operation outside the existing array, this would be resolved then? I might be willing to get a third hard drive if I can make this work. I'd like to try to avoid reformatting my current raid if possible.

It's just a pain in the ass to back up and re-install everything. I tried installing unsucsessfully a bit ago. I'm not sure if it's related to the array It begins the initial loading and I get to a grey screen with the apple logo and a little load wheel. It keeps going and going until a little veto appears in the middle of the screen. Nothing happens. When I boot using single user and safemode commands or in diagnostic mode, then it loads for a while normally until it reads 'Still waiting for root'.

It repeats that message every couple minutes and gets no further. Also, something I forgot. I've never done this before so I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm running an ATI Radeon hd 3550, not an nvidia card like the original poster listed having. Thanks again.

One question: By full audio do you mean output and input? Stereo or multichannel, SPDIF, anything like that? Spdif and coax both work! Sorry for such late replys. This mobo's fantastic everyone. I sold my badaxe2 for it and I'm not the only one that did this Hello,I also think this could be my next choice!@strangedaze:Is it a 'BloodIronP35-T2L' or a 'BloodIronP35-T2 RL' which you are using?thanks in advance.

I´m also interested in hearing about other success story´s.shilaSorry for double post, I'm using the TRL I believe one 2 versions is a DDR3 one. I have the other one the DDR2 which I'm pretty sure is the only one around right now for the most part.

Also for full raid support you can even boot off this card. You can use this rosewill 21 dollar pci-e card. If you want to software raid with this (I have 4 HD's and 2 disc drives installed all working) Make sure you set AHCI in bios for multiple HD's first and set your boot drive as first boot order as well. Then once you boot you will see all your other HD's on your desktop, if you want to soft raid them just go to diskutility and select one of the hd's you want to raid (not your boot drive) and then select RAID and drag all your other HD's to the white box and click raid (this will delete all data on the raiding HD's) wallah you will now have one HD on your desktop (whatever you named it) the size of all your HD's combined. 90% chance you will not be able to install osx86 on the softraid and boot it properly. Hope this helped everyone.

I can't find the DFI P35 Blood Iron BIOS's online anywhere. The only place I found them was on this bootable cd by Logan, and the newest BIOS makes it so my computer won't boot to Windows: Anyone know where to get the bios?

Yes, i tried resetting the CMOS. If I use the old BIOS from the DVD by logan with the bios's, my mobo wont let me overclock, it'll just say something about the ACHI rom missing when I OC it, but when I put it on stock settings, it boots. IF I use the new bios off the same DVD, my comp wont boot to windows.
