Pion:
Does EFI really have its own partition? I do not know anything about EFI. Also, what linux
distro do you have installed? What is your present controling bootloader?

Why isn't the ethernet showing up on my ASUS p5w dh? Otherwise everything else is golden and running great.

I have the same problem that you did and same question.

Hi,
I'm trying this on a Dell 1600s server with 2 Prescott Xeons.
I'm trying all the DVD boot options (-legacy,cpus=1,-r,-x,-s etc) and I cant get past this point.
Whats on the CPU scren reads:

EFI Enhanced Bios Bootloader Build ToH
Using SMBIOS Table found at 0x000faad0
Using HCP RSDP Revision 0 found at 0x000fdc40

at this point the system just hangs and I have to turn it off or do a hard reset to get it to boot again.
Ive been reading thru the lists here and Ive tried so many different ways to boot up with the DVD and get the same results
everytime where it hangs at the above message.

Any clues or tips or maybe someone knows for sure that it wont work on this particular system
Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thx...

Have you tried booting it in Safe Mode (-x)? There could be a driver/kext incompatibility. When I was trying to get it to work w/ a Radeon HD2600XT video card, I had to install in Safe Mode AND delete the ATIRadeonX2000 kexts afterward to get it to boot.

Did you try the -v option, or does it reboot before you can see what the last lines are?

The Kalyway Team wish you all
an HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL



And the first good news (primery for me, but maybe for other too) ist, that I have QE on my HP Pavilion with nVidia 8600M GS... So, just I can play all Quartz Extreme Apps and videos in fullscreen and DVD (at the first time)...

Now I only need to control my ALC286 Sound and that the headphone works... But, 2008 has just began... ^^

The kext/pkg is here to find...

HI dudes

I tried installating Kalyway version on my new PC (dual core 2 + 8800GT) on a usb external HD, the installation worked great, but when rebooting, I saw the "apple and the loadin' circle" until a message appeared telling me to reboot my computer ... Can someone try like me on a USB ext drive ? What are the correct parameters to choose in the installation menu ?


Thanks

I havent tryed it yet... actualy I dont think that I have a ps2 keyboard around at the moment.  Im pretty sure that it would work though. 

Hi!

Currently I've big troubles getting Kalyway to work. First, my system specs:

Computer Model:

HP Pavilion a6220

CPU: 2x2Ghz Core2 Duo
Mobo: Asus P5L LE (G945 Chipset with onboard VGA)
Audio: Sigamtel HD Audio
DVD und HD are SATA
Intel Lan Controller
Radeon HD3850

At first, if i boot without vanilla kernel, my PS2 Keyboard isn't detected.

So I set SATA to ACHI mode and started the installation. I formated the HD in one big HFS+ partition (320 Gig) and installed kalyway with the requiered extensions. (ACPI fix, guid_efi etc.).

At the end, the installer says, that the installer couldn't finish and after the next boot, after darwin booted from DVD, I get the com.apple.boot.plist error.

Tried it now to install 3 times, everytime with the same error. Any suggestions?

Sorry, this release is only for intel

Happy New Year!

Hackintosh still is Hactintosh! BTW: Great Release Ever! Next time pls don't do the Orange.

So finaly I where able to get it installed on MBR, but I can't boot without DVD. Any solution?

Happy new year!

Tried all known bootflags. Comp will reboot after loading kexts as shown.

I am using an sse2 cpu. I am sure that this release is compatible with sse2. i am having the same problem that you have with ToH release but kaly's release does not have that. it can be something in your BIOS.

btw, I have a pentium m (see sig.) but About this Mac says that it is a 1.5 ghz intel core solo.. About this mac crashes after install and I used paulicat's applesmbios.kext.. it might be related to that.

only problem now is making QE/CI work and get it recognized as AGP at the same time.

Happy New Year - and a Success Story.

I have successfully installed Kaly on my notebook (see signature for specs), single partition GUID.

A minor note however, it did not properly boot the first time after install. First time it told me we were running backwards. Rebooted again using -v and it booted. I rebooted again without -v and it worked. Somehow it seems that it repaired itself. Not sure about that since I'm not an expert.

I do get the "mouse tearing". I figure it has to do with the video driver (even though my 945GM was 950 compatible in Tiger). I had the same tearing in iATKOS.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Can anybody help me with this? I'm getting "system config file '/com.apple.boot.plist' not found". Why is that?

I got the Kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso and I have verified the checksum to be correct.

System config is
CPU = Intel Quad Q6600
MB = Abit IP35 Pro
Video Card = eVGA 7200GS
HD = SATA 500
DVD ROM = IDE

Desperately need help guys.....

Thanks
Andy

ok my problem is when using the disk utility try to format my drive i get a error say (error-61) and anyyime i try to use the keyboard it freezes if any one else have or had this problem plz post some help for me

Is SATA 500GB harddrive compatible?

Why leo detect sony hc39e videocamera as unknown device? I have pci firewire card.

Ok, managed it by myself, solution was quit simple. I just installed pc_efi_v80 by myself via USB stick, now it runs perfectly.

My first install on my HP had a PS2 keyboard pluged in and all installed and worked fine, since then I changed to a USB keybaord. So I would say yes, PS2 keybaord supported.

Read the whole thread. this has been answered. You need a SATA DVD drive, or a USB drive.

I realized that and was using the IDE to USB adapter with my DVD ROM. I still got the same error. What does it actually mean when it says "com.apple.plist not found"

It didn't find my Leo DVD? Is that right?

Is the SATA 500GB compatible? (Just need to make sure this is not a problem)

Cheers
Andy

That usually means that it can't read/find/see your DVD, for whatever reason. Reasons include IDE/SATA controller not recognized, bad ISO download or bad burn of DVD. IAC it means you can go no further until you fix it.

Are you getting this error booting the DVD or booting the install? I have a 500 GB SATA drive in mine, it works fine.

Hi

First off, a big thank you to the KALYWAY team, this is the first release I've got to work on me old Asrock 775-dual system tho to get native vanilla kernel to work I'm going to get a cheap Asus board.

The only issue I'm having is Safari keeps crashing when I try and download anything, and of course therefore Mac OS updating. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks again

I.

I'm sorry but what is the different between booting the DVD vs. booting the install?

Basically, I have install Window Vista on the SATA 500 GB on a 40GB Primary partition and I left the rest of the 460GB disk space for OSX86 Leopard.

I'm using an IDE to USB adapter for an IDE DVD Rom. I can boot my XP/Vista CD from it but can't seem to be able to boot with my Kalyway Leopard DVD.

I have an old TOH RC2 DVD which I install using the same DVD ROM on another machine and it boot from it just fine, so I must say the DVD ROM is ok?

To me, the error "com.apple.boot.plist not found" seems like when booting from the USB Drive with the Leopard DVD, the system didn't recognize the DVD? Why is that?

What is the easiest way to install Kalyway? It's a brand new computer so at this point, I don't really need a dual boot. Will it be better if I format the whole drive and just use it for Leopard? If so, what software should I use to format the whole drive and prepare it for OSX86 Leopard?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers
Andy

Hmm, I just finished installing with the vanilla kernel and during the Installation the keyboard worked ok, but now when I want to enter the register fields the PS2 keyboard won't respond. Maybe I have to do something during the boot sequence but I have no idea what I'll keep browsing the forum I guess.

I just wanted to be clear about where you are seeing this message: booting the DVD or after installing then booting from the installed OS X on the hard drive. Sorry if I was not clear!

Since you have booted ToH on this USB DVD, then I would say your Kalyway DVD is bad. Either a bad ISO download or a bad burn. Try burning it again at a slower speed.

Personally, I always do test burns on DVD+RW first. Very handy to have a few re-writable DVDs around.

Its good that you made it work on your SSE2.. Im using ASUS P4P800-x mobo and i still cant get it to work. Well there are a lot of us who cant get it to work.. Do you know what particular bios setting should be turned on or off to make the installer work? Can you post what bios setting did you use when you were installing Kalyway? Thanks for your help

The thing is, I tried the TOH RC2 DVD(Same DVD) on this setup and I'm getting the same error. Seems like the motherboard know I want it to boot from DVD ROM but it went to the WRONG place to look for the boot.plist file? Why is that? The motherboard I'm using is Abit IP35 Pro which has the JMicron chip on it.

I have tried DISABLED the JMicron which also disable my IDE so I have to use the USB-DVD Rom setup and still with no luck.

I'm so stuck...

What should I do now?? Please help! help! help!!

Andy

I got 10.5.1 installed but I get the blinking cursor upon reboot. With the DVD in the drive, I was able to boot the system up. In the macinstall.log, it says “Could not write boot record to disk /dev/disk1s1 /dev/disk0s1!” I install using MBR method with zeroing out the disk. Anyone know hot to fix the boot record issue?

Intel 945GTP, Celeron D
80GB Seagate STA HDD

Same issue for me. I could not get the disc to boot from a USB DVD at all on my IP35 Pro. I am thinking there must be some incompatible USB/DVD chipsets out there. It has nothing to do with my ISO download, or the disc I burned as I used the exact drive/disc combo on my Asus P5B Deluxe and it worked perfectly. Also I took the time to burn another image at 1x, and still same results. Its definitely an issue with this particular MB and my (and your) USB DVD enclosure/adapter. Solution = buy SATA DVD.

I would say yes, format whole drive using GUID and EFI. GUID offers more flexability later (though I have not tried) to split and resize partitions later if you want to try dual boot.

i can confirm a second machine that i use is working with Leopard

This is my machine @ work, wich now is also running mac osx , thnx

Sorry for the this dumb question but where would I download the DVD image from? KALYWAY LEOPARD 10.5.1 intel SSE2 and SSE3 Only (with 512 MB of RAM)!!! efi v8 is not a clickable link for me and after scanning the original post several times I could not see the link to download the image. I am missing something basic here.

A pointer in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks.

Same problem here, PS/2 keyboard doesn't work after installation... but yet didn't find аnything...

Hi!

Where can i find the file "tboot.ini". I I just added the line c:\tboot="Mac OSX Leopard and when i choose it says the hall32.dll is misssing.

i finally got a leopard dvd to boot using the -legacy and -f command

unfortunately it is only the toh leopard that works with the 2 commands.

Hi,
I'm trying this on a Dell 1600s server with 2 Prescott Xeons.
I'm trying all the DVD boot options (-legacy,cpus=1,-r,-x,-s etc) and I cant get past this point.

Would be greatly appreciated!

Click to view attachment

which means Installation failed! I dont understand why! Any Ideas???

My Computer
C2D E6750
2 GB RAM
x1950Pro
Gigabyte P35 DS3R
500GB Samsung HDD <-- no Installation!
250GB Samsung HDD <-- Installed successfully!!!!

thx

HiFiRe

I seem to get the same thing as well but in english. It says the installation has encountered an unknown error.

here's my spec :

sony vaio sz1vp
intel core duo 2.0ghz
2gb
120gb hdd
128mb nvidia geforce 7400

Strange ... but i am not alone! I hope we can fix it!

Im going to try 1 last time now and mess around with everything in customize to see whether i can get a result.

aren't there any news about some version for the AMD users?

Simple question:
I have modo asus p5b deluxe with 4 SATA drives and 1 IDE. The 2 SATA its in RAID-0 (and this raid is my vista system).

What i have to do to install KALYWAY 10.5.1 at 1 of my other drives? (SATA or IDE)

With what way i wil choose the OS (vista or OSX) after the installation? Since i will have 2 different OS at 2 different disks, do i need any boot manager or i can use asus mobo boot menu (F8) ?

Thanks!

Need help booting from kaly dvd first time loaded flawless but would not access HD to make another partition. shut down made second partition and now stuck on Apple screen or it will pop up little window saying I need to restart computer. Here is a shot of what pops up.

After a dozen install tries I have it up and running. That is NO sign of the quality of this release, it was me intentionally trying some different things. I learned some good lessons that I thought I would share. First off - thanks kaly and dune, awesome job!!!!

Here is my setup:

Asus P5W DH with 2406 bios update
Corsair 2 x 1GB PC2-6400
3 x Seagate 320GB SATA (internal)
1 x WD 300GB IDE (internal) (jmicron)
1 x Maxtor 250GB IDE (internal) (jmicron)
1 x WD 500GB external USB
1 x LG DVD-R 18x IDE (internal)
1 x Panasonic DVD-ROM IDE (internal)
ATI x1950 pro PCI-E
Intel QX6700 Quad core extreme 2.66 Ghz
Samsung 22" widescreen monitor


One of my Seagate SATA's is my primary drive. I have MS Vista Home Premium on the first partition (145GB) dual booted with Leo on the second parition (50GB). I use chain0 method for the dual boot.


My lessons learned for ATI x1950:

Installed kaly with the ATI1000 kext option (NATIT_ATIcards). When the install completes, it will kernal panic if booted normally. Boot with verbose safe mode (-v -f -x). You will need to switch the video kext. So with leo up, install the Bronya x1950 kext (Bronya x1950 drivers). Unzip and run the package within ATI_X1950_LEO.zip. Fix the permissions when done (you can do this in disk utility if you want), reboot, and you are good to go.
I have mine running at 1680 x 1050 with QE supported.


My lessons learned for the Asus P5W DH mobo:

- upgrade to the newest BIOS version. I am at 2406.
- use the network adapter2 (the one on top) as the one on bottom isn't enabled in leo.
- chose the sound card kext from the kaly installer, it works perfectly.
- use the BIOS settings already detailed in this thread. Very important - you will end up in a boot loop if they are not correct. My settings are as follows:

...IDE Config...
Configure SATA as - [AHCI]
ALPE and ASP - [disabled]

...CPU Config...
Modify Ratio support - [disabled]
Microcode updation - [enabled]
Max CPUID Value Limit - [disabled]
Execute Disable Function - [enabled]
Enhanced C1 Control - [auto]
CPU Internal Thermal Control - [auto]
Virtualization Technology - [enabled]
Intel SpeedStep technology - [enabled]

...Power Section...
ACPI 2.0 support - [yes]
ACPI APIC support - [enabled]


My lessons learned for dual booting with Vista:

I installed leo on the second partition of a drive with vista on the first. Chain0 will find leo as long as it is within the first 200gb of the drive. I created the leo partition with a diskpart command within Vista (create partition primary size=50000 id=af). This method by default makes the partition MBR.

A note on GUID vs. MBR as there seems to be some confusion on what they mean. They refer to the type of partition table. Here is a simple rule to follow for choosing which type to use - if you have a windows os on another partition (same drive) then use MBR. If you have a drive totally dedicated to Leo than you can use GUID. Either way, once the partition is created you still need to format the drive with MAc os, journaling enabled (HFS+).

As kaly noted, when the install is done it will set the Leo partition as active. So, you won't be able to get back to Vista without a little work. What you do is get your Vista DVD and boot from it. Go into rescue mode -> command prompt. Use diskpart (type 'diskpart') and set your Vista partition back to active:
- select disk x (x= # with vista installed on it)
- select partition x (x = # of vista partition, likely 1)
- active
Reboot a second time with your Vista DVD inserted, go to rescue mode and let it automatically find your Vista install. It will recover it and automatically reboot. Take DVD out, reboot, and you are back into Vista.

Next thing you need to do is re-create your Mac OS entry in the Vista boot loader. Use bcdedit with the following commands (from the Vista command prompt with admin rights):

C:\Users\username>bcdedit /create /d "Mac OS Leopard" /application osloader
The entry {guid provided here} was successfully created.

C:\Users\username>bcdedit /set {insert guid from above} PATH \chain0
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\username>bcdedit /set {insert guid from above} device boot
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\username>bcdedit /displayorder {insert guid from above} /addlast
The operation completed successfully.

Hopefully you will find some useful info here.
later,
macmono.
