Any sugestions why I can`t see anything?

 

I`ve installed iATKOS 5i (seems the best version from what I have tried until now) and after rebootig the only thing happening is starting "Moby - You make me feel so good" song and that it. All I can see is a blank display, no control, no nothing. Do you have any suggestions on this? I have the feeling that I am so close to make it work.

 

I am starting Mac in a dual boot with Windows Vista.

My laptop TOSHIBA Equim P300 has the following configuration:

-Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5750 2 Ghz

-3 Gb DDR2 667Mhz

- 250 Gb Hdd

- display 17" Toshiba TruBrite® WXGA+ TFT High Brightness display resolution : 1440 x 900

- graphic adapter Intel® GMA X3100

 

Can it be from the display resolution? Any suggestion is welcome.

 

Thanks

i think you have a wrong iso and your one is a choke!

You must check the MD5 file which is included in the iso

Good Luck

 

 

 

-Download the latest 9.5.0 based kernel on http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/

-Unzip on Root "/" the mach_kernel.voodoo file.

-on Finder "GO" "Utilities" "Terminal"

-Run the following "sudo -su" and type your account password, "cd /", "mv -f mach_kernel.voodoo custom", "chmod 644 custom"

 

 

Hello diablonet,

please be patient with me...

i need a step by step tutorial for this because i don´t know how to find the root directory and how must exactly the kernel name.

I opened the mach kernel but didn´t know where i must rename! I think this was the wrong way?

No problem to use terminal.

Thanx a lot

 

No one can help me to use the new kernel?

I can.

 

So. Boot again with DVD. Open terminal.

 

cd /Volumes/xxxxxx (<-Yours bootdisk name here)

ls -la

 

( com.apple.boot.plist: kernel name must be "mach_kernel" => )

 

cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old (copy old kernel with new name, if You want to do that)

cp -f new_kernel mach_kernel (copy new_kernel over mach_kernel)

 

chown root:wheel mach_kernel* (fix rightness...)

chmod 644 mach_kernel* (and userlevel)

 

diskutil repairPermissions /

 

reboot.

 

 

OR on the fly...

 

 

New kernel named " mach_kernel " is in Your's desktop

 

sudo -s

cd /Volumes/"Your's Bootdisk"

cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_bak (this is allways smart move)

 

 

cp /Volumes/"Your's Bootdisk"/Users/"You"/desktop/mach_kernel /mach_kernel

 

(=new “mach_kernel” on desktop copy over Your's root level old kernel)

 

chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel*

chmod -R 755 mach_kernel*

 

(=fix rightness, note -R both command and 644->755 in chmod.)

 

diskutil repairPermissions /

 

reboot.

 

 

OR You put new kernel in root level with in it's own short name,

like "voodoo" , then You can in the start:

 

F8

 

and in promt You write direct and exactly the new kernel name,

which is allready in Your's root level.

 

For example: voodoo

 

Machine "side boot" now in new kernel, and You can easily try

that new kernel.

 

 

Hope this helps a little.

I have the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD installed, once I realized what settings to use, it was a snap. Have not had to mess with much since I installed it.

 

However, every attempt to upgrade to the 10.5.3-5 has resulted in me blowing it up, probably from doing something wrong out of ignorance.

 

My hardware is all compatible with the Kalyway disc, did not have to mess with kexts or anything.

 

How would you rate this install DVD to Kalyway? If my system installed fine and has been happy for 3 months with this version, is it safe to assume that I can install this disc to get the newest version and should not run into many problems?

 

Intel Core2Quad 2.4Ghz, 6GB RAM, all SATA drives, Asus P5W Deluxe movo, NVidia 8800GT, etc...

 

Pretty vanilla system and damned close to what a Mac would be.

 

You guys think I should upgrade and do a clean install with this install DVD, or "don't fix what isn't broken".

 

I mainly want the updates for updated video drivers, I want Time Machine to start working, etc...

chmod -R 755 mach_kernel*

 

(=fix rightness, note -R both command and 644->755 in chmod.)

 

diskutil repairPermissions /

 

reboot.

 

i don´t understand this line: (=fix rightness, note -R both command and 644->755 in chmod.) because my english is not so good!

must the terminal lines look as below?

 

chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel*

chmod -R 755 mach_kernel*

chmod -R 644 mach_kernel*

 

as i´m a Beginner with changing kernel this would be heavy for me i see.

Easiest install yet. It took 15 minutes including adding the Audio kexts. I used the settings xmms listed and it was perfect. I also used OSX86 Tools to modify my "About this Mac" box. Absolutely everything is recognized and works, including shutdown and sleep. Fantastic! Thanks a lot!

 

My setup is:

EP45 DS3R

Q6600 running @3GHz (hit Geekbench of 6000 with this install, highest I've had)

2GIG DDR2 800 Kingston RAM

320GIG and 160GIG SATA drives

EVGA 7200GS 256MB Video Card (selected 7300SE Graphics string in installer, full QE/CI)

IDE CD/DVD drive (installed fine from this)

Dual Gigabit ethernet (selected Realtek 1000 option in Network settings portion of installer-afp/bonjour work fine)

Do you mind saying which other settings you selected in the install, and what you did to get the sound working?

Best,

Mike

Mikeyd:

 

These are the exact settings I used, which were the ones from xmms:

 

In bios you must set the SATA to AHCI and enable "native" mode.

 

At the installer select :

PC EFI v9

AppleDecrypt

SMBIOS-EFI

Disabler.kext

OHR (if you have problems with shutdown/restart)

EFI Strings for your Graphic Card (mine was an NVidia 7200GS, and the 7300SE ones were the same)

Intel AHCI SATA

 

Actually most of these were selected by default so I didn't have to change much. I didn't select a kernel, so it appears that Vanilla 9.50 installed.

 

I also selected the Realtek 1000 option in the Network settings to get afp/bonjour working on my dual gigabit ethernet

 

For Audio use HDAEnabler + patched AppleHDA after OSX installation.

for the Audio kexts. You can find "Kext Helper" or "OS X86 Tools" to install them.

 

After I finished I used OSX86Tools to modify the "About this Mac" box so it listed my RAM and CPU correctly.

 

Everything works just fine, including sleep, restart, time machine. Everything is recognized correctly by System Profiler and I just ran software update and everything updated just fine including security update.

 

Hope this helps.

u can check it by system profile ---> software

or open "Terminal" then type "uname -a" (without quote)

 

Thank you!

The System Profiler show me: Kernel - Darwin 9.5.0 ...nothing about Beta RC2, Voodoo, NXU or anything - is this the new one?

I have the right MD5. I think is something wrong with display adapter. I`ve seen on youtube an example of install iKATOS 2i and on first boot play some music and show WELLCOME message in different languages. For those who have succeded with iKATOS_5i I ask if on first boot should play music and run some kind of 3D welcome intro.

 

Thanks

No.

 

What is between ( ... ) is comments and explaining.

Not command.

 

Differences depends which disk You have already make Your's booting.

 

1. You boot dvd OR

2. On the fly: You have already boot Your harddisk.

 

This is not the same thing. Even Your's "root -level" is

different disk now. Understand ?

 

Read all again, and remember: ( ... ) means my comments.

Not command.

 

Do not read litterally, think everything, what You are doing.

Then You understand more easily.

 

===

 

Kernel name can be what ever. com.apple.boot.plist

say: automatically choise is " mach_kernel " named kernel in rootlevel.

You can put rootlevel more kernel, named even

Uglyduck1

Uglyduck2

and so on, and then choise it F8 and write right name in boot promt.

 

But: automatically choice is allways " mach_kernel " in rootlevel.

Later You can edit even this in com.apple.boot.plist file.

You´re a friendly Man!

I´ve tryd it last Night but i don´t know if the new one is successfully loaded. I took a look at Profiler>Software - Kernel: Darwin 9.5.0 but nothing about Voodoo, XNU, Beta or else...has the machine the right (new) one load?

Thanx a lot for your help!

Another fan, with a few problems!

 

This is a fantastic release, and I've tried all the others. My motherboard is P5N-D and graphics card is nvidia 8800GT. I also used Mysticus nvidia installer v1.2 (post-installation) for additional drivers.

 

I only have 3 issues:

 

1. The system freezes a few minutes after I'm at the desktop. I think this is because I installed 2 kernels, trying to get the most up-to-date one. Any ideas?

 

2. I was trying to use the new EFI bootloader, but the installation always reverts back to Chameleon. I think it's because I can only use the old 9.2 kernel with my mobo. Other possible reasons?

 

3. Where can I download additional utility applications (such as "OSx86 Tools")? There aren't any with this release (my only complaint). IDeneb has many of them, but I don't know how to install them without using the entire installation package.

I must say that this distro is the best I've tried yet...

 

Ideneb 10.5.5 worked okay, but leo kept on freezing on me. With this one not a single freeze since installing (3 days ago).... Had no troubles installing, it worked out of the box, except that I accidently unchecked support for PS/2 leaving my laptop unable to use either mouse or keyboard... the only kext I had to add manually was my ethernet kext...

 

My system:

 

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo si2636

 

Intel Core2 duo T5750 2.0Ghz

ICHm8

320gb Sata

DVD r/rw burner SATA

4gb Ram

GMA X3100

My first install attempt bombed. Told me to reboot, I did, got the first splash screen, said I needed to reboot, basically stuck in a loop.

 

I think it is just a matter of selecting the right packages, kernel, boot loader, things like that.

 

I will play with it some more tonight and report back. I will be really pumped if it works and I can finally update the OS like a real Mac.
