Ok here goes -

**update - vanilla kernel works fine, so you can leave the kernels unchecked**

Download Iatkos V7 and burn to dvd
Boot into your bios and turn all disk options to ahci and turn of all powersaving features on the cpu
Boot into Iatkos V7 and press f8 to enter startup option
Type without speechmarks "-v cpus=1 busratio=20" and hit enter
Open disk utility and partition your disk using GUID (I havent tried MBR maybe its works)
Click continue and customize
Uncheck everything
Now Check the following
iAtkos v7 Main System
Chameleon V2
Extra Directory
DSDT
DSMOS
9.7.0 Kernel Voodo
APIC Driver
Disabler
OHR
Remove TyMCE
AHCI
Intel Sata/IDE
JMicron Sata/IDE
Voodo HDA Driver
Realtek R1000
Post Install Actions
Click contine and install
It will stick for a little while at the beginning of the install whilst it verefies tha packages but just be patient.
After about Twenty minutes install will finsish and it will let you reboot.
Once rebooted you will be presented with the chameleon loader and you can select Leopard and boot straight into 10.5.7 and follow the setup wizard. All four cores will be working with hyperthreading. This install method gives me a very fast and stable install.

All you have to do now is find your graphics drivers.

Sweet. I'm gonna try it on Rampage II Extreme.

I'm in the process of making a Retail install off my USB HDD then I saw your post.
Didn't know v7 was out.

Still I'd like to try a retail install (Never done it before) to learn
Hopefully it'll work else I'd just use iAtkos

Thx badaxe2 - for me its working fine with ur guide on Gigabyte EX58-Extreme -
I get OsX installed - however I do not get my grafik card working - neither a Evga 9800GT 512MB ,
nor a Evga GTS250 512MB Ram. I always get a black screen after the apple boot screen - (I then can remove GFX strings and Natit and then I get it booting without Quartz support )


Tried many installs - with the also with the included NVIDIA GT200 drivers (the Evga and the normal ones) and Natit and DVI-DVI Enablers (gfx-strings) - also changed the gfx-strings as per aquamarks guide .
Also tried at first to install without grafic drivers, enablers or injectors and installed NVIDIA_Retail_Mac_Driver_Installer_18.5.2f16.mpkg.zip .

Tried also the new Enabler_for_Nvidia_and_multiple_ATI_cards.pkg with and without injector.
Also tried the same on my 9800GT ...

Further I tried as well my PCI-Express x16 Slot1 and also x16 Slot2 as suggested in one threat by
aquamark when he spoke about an other gigabyte board- but also no change (I of course updated the gfxstrings after changing the Slot)

In iatkos 5i I got it working, but with an old kernel and a bit buggy - crashed from time to time - when playing 3D games or doing GoogleEarth . So I hoped iAtkos7 will change it- but for now it didnt.
(On my other PC with an ASUS P5E-VM D0 with Q35 and ICH9DO v7 works with the 9800gt)

Did you get a NVIDIA g92b running with this settings on a Gigabyte X58? And if with what drivers etc-.
Please give me a hand - what I could further try - thx in advance.

[RetroRen]

sorry, wrong thread - mod please delete

[badaxe2]

I have a gtx 280 and i selected the gt200 update (not the evga one) and i also selected the natit enabler. Sorry i dont know about Amd gpus becaus ive never had one.

Why Voodoo 10.5.7?
Vanilla 10.5.7 Kernel works with Core i7 just fine

Thank you badaxe2 - I found the error- although I am a bit ashamed, but I guess its good to tell you in case someone has same problem.

My Monitor Samsung TFT 2493HM was not able to display the standard resoltion and I guess especially the refresh rate... I guess that was the cause that I always got a black screen ...
what it fixed it for me was that I set the boot resolution in
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1024x768x32</string>

and in OsX I was able to set 1900x1200x32 @60Hz
and now all is working fine- thank you very much for the guide ...

[krypto]

I tried the exact same steps except - I didnt choose Voodoo Kernel. (Hence Vanilla Kernel installed ) I got a kernel panic saying CPU not configured properly!

Am on a Gigabyte EX-58-UD5 board.

Any one got Vanilla Kernel working?


ok just booted off iatkos dvd and installed only the Voodoo kernel and this works......

[edy paredes]

wow thx found perfect gigabite x58 ud5 run faster and chameleon boot v2 perfect

[lucifer_product]

Thx
Ask you 1 question , Badaxe2

Do you try TimeMachine ?

I haven't succeed in TimeMachine setup in iAtkos V7 ( but no problem in iDeneb 10.5.6 )
My board is ASUS P5K-E that almostly compatible and nearly completely run OSx86 esp iDeneb 10.5.6 ( only sleep is main problem and forever proplem in iAtkos.

For nVidia 9800GT, I use DVI/DVI and old Enerbler as NVinjected ,it works well

Time machine doesnt work for me, no idea why something about cant find network adapter, if anybody has succes let me know how you got it to work.

I got my gtx 280 working by installing the evga package and then then installing netkas latest enabler.

Brilliant! After months of no success with OSX, I'm finally running it with no problems at all! Even my 8800GT works first time. I just used the default latest nVidia driver that came on the dvd (i.e. I checked the box for the latest one, can't remember what it was called - but it mentions that its the latest one).

I'm currently running the following hardware:

Intel i7 920
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
Corsair 6Gb DDR3
Seagate 7200.10 320Gb SATA drive
IDE DVD-RW (NEC 3550)

Thanks for the advice again.

Thx a lot

I'd try it with old patch but not success.

[badaxe2]

Would like to know how to get cuda enabled, i have the evga package installed with latest netkas enabler, i have downoaded the cuda package from nvidia and the cuda profiler but it tells me there in no cuda hardware available.

[VAD3R1]

HI there Badaxe2 & guys, I successfully installed my system,

Iatkos V7, Chameleon v2
I7 920,
EX58 - UD3R
Patriot Dominator ram 1600 - 6GB DDR3
EVGZ 9800 GX2 ( installed via NV dvi/dvi and NATIT Driver ) shows up correct in About mac as 2 separate GX2 cards!
500Gb seagate Drive

sound works ok, but driver shows as Unknown.
1.
When I Change resolution on my Display .. the kernel changes the resolution then crashes, once i reboot its ok!
Is this because the display is set wrong, or is this more of a Video card issue ?

2. In the About Mac it shows up as a MAC pro 2.1 ... not 4.1 ???
bus speed is running 550 mhz ? and ram is running at 667 mhz ....

Any ideas on how to get the Fsb up maybe to 800 or more ? Also would be nice to get the ram running at about 1066 at least ? is this possible to boost ?

cheers for any Ideas ?

Also any other sound drivers that work better for ALC888 ? cheers for your replies

This is the best install I have had since V1 now if I could just get it to start without having the disk in the drive that would be great

[bossent20]

Hi

thank you for the help on this

I have one problem however...

After successful installation using the exact same settings you have guided us to use in the list; everything shows just fine

OS 10.5.7 installed perfectly, my graphics card is just great, with everything showing up in the mac info window. im using the gtx 275

i followed all steps, but as soon as I select the update the OS, it installs fine, but upon restart this is what happens:

the apple splash screen loads fine as it is about to go into the OS

but then a blank screen appears (black)

shortly after this only the mouse cursor appears onscreen and is movable

then the screen turns light blue and the usual loading multicoloured circle appears on this blue screen

it stays this way forever

i do not know why it does this

i tried many installs now. i have tried with default kernels and een the voodoo kernels

it keeps doing the same thing

any ideas please

would greatly appreciate the help

many thanks

PS - to try and fix the issue i went into bios on my ud5 m/b and disabled AHCI

this made OS X boot up once again after the update but upon a new retsart of the system it went back to that blank halt screen, then blue screen, etc...

please can ANYONE help on this. greatly appreciate it.
oh, and i selected the netat enabler for the gtx 200 card upon installation. when i selected only the gtx driver by itself the system would not work.

thank you
