ok, i finally managed to install leopard kalyway 10.5.1 on my hackintosh

only one simple problem ( i think at least )

i have an PS2 keyboard so it doesn't work, and i can't get past the mac registration form at first boot.
so, does anybody know how i can copy the apple ps2 keyboard kext on my hackintosh.
i was thinking of somthing like a dos interface?

I'm pretty much a hackintosh noob and realy want to get started with leopard, since tiger was great fun for me ^^

oh yeah, i dont have a USB keyboard here, so thats my problem.thx in adv
btw, if there is no solution to this problem, please report that also because that would mean i need a usb keyboard =)

Hey there!

You need to boot into single user mode. Do this by: At boot - use boot option: "-s" and that will bring you to a dos prompt of sort, but for Mac. Type "sudo -s" and enter your password, then hit enter. After that, make sure you have the kext on a USB disk or other partition. "cd" to that partition / drive in the folder the kext is located and type: "cp extensionname.kext /System/Library/Extensions" and reboot.

You don't need to sudo or su, single user mode logs you in as root by default.

What you *do* need to do though is remount your harddrive as writable:
fdisk -fy
mount -uw /
