Hi BlackCH,
What about the Language Packs V2? I'd be happy to test them

Regards,

Naunaud.

Look at demon, been there for some days already. They should work without problems on the new ISO (in fact they should work fine with any 10.5.6 installation) as they come untouched from the 10.5.6 retail disk.

All right I'll look on the demon, I was looking on the pirate boat ^^

@Arial, you have to teach me how to take those long installer screenshots mate!...

Mallison10 · February 10, 2009

First check you have 'PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext' on /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ . Also the folder should NOT contain AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext.
If so then can be a problem about your PCI buses not being readed right. Try installing 'IOPCIFamily254' or 'PCCard_Fix' (one at the time) from 'Others' menu.

theres 5 alc 888 drivers on the DVD. You have to try them all (one at the time!).

If you dont want to reinstall, just extract the content of the package drivers (XxX.ISO/System/Installation/Packages/Patches/Sound) on to your desktop and install it with kexthelper.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I'm still new to the Mac OS. I have no sound on my Compaq C700 series laptop. I am running the XxX 10.5.6 Install. I have tried to navigate to the (XxX.ISO/System/Installation/Packages/Patches/Sound) on the Install Disk and on the raw ISO and cannot find it. I have even installed "ShowAll" thinking that maybe it was a hidden directory... still no luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. It seems that I'm only missing audio (not sure about mic).

Thank you!

fyrekrig · February 11, 2009

Try with alcinject instead of HDAEnabler.<BR>Other thing: Everytime you install a new kext boot with -f to be sure the kextcache is flushed and the new kext loaded

See if I understand you correct. I try all the different AppleHDA.kext together with ALCinject.kext using Kexthelper?

Hi Guys

Just wanted to know

1) is XxX a vanilla install?? means can I upgrade normally from Apple if any new version comes out (e.g. 10.5.7 ) without any problems / hacks??

2) what is the advantage / disadvantage of installation of XxX ISO over a retail ISO with boot 132 ??

3) Anything else I should know about the ISO..

Regards

2) what is the advantage / disadvantage of installation of XxX ISO over a retail ISO with boot 132 ??

Regards

1- You can get a clean vanilla install if you wish by not selecting anything else than 'Essential System Software'. Oviously you need to install a couple of extra kexts in order to boot a fully vanilla OSX on PC: Thats 'Essential kexts' which installs decrypter, CPUPM disabler, smbios injector, PS2 keyboard/mouse support (last two are not really nedeed to be able to boot). From there on you need to add chipset support for your mobo, audio and network drivers, etc.

This vanilla install would survive an apple update ONLY if the apple update doesnt overwrite patched files (usually chipset, sound, network are supported by patched kexts files).

So theres an option to put these modifyed kexts on a alternative location and have them loaded from there: /Extra/Extensions/ . In this way when you install an update your patched kexts will remain untouched and your system will be fully operational (hopefully). If you like this method you need to do it yourself; this is, take note of the kexts you install and then move them from their original location (/System/Library/Extensions/) to /Extra/Extensions/. It is worth to say that not every kext will load from there but if you try you will figure out... BTW, you need to install PCEfi 9 for this method

2- adventages: is easy, all you need are already there.... disadventages: This kind of distros (XxX, iDeneb, etc) can keep you 'in the dark' about things that are good to know. A boot 132 method would demand you to know exactly what files you need for your system, and what to replace if a file gets overwritten by an update; boot 132 requires some postinstall work (install drivers), which I think is good thing to know...

3- a PPF is coming.... I know it says 'Final' but I couldnt help it.

Your chipset is not fully supported, and is not likely to change. Options you have (without changing you hardware):

-Install on a ATA drive (if they are recognized)

-Install on a USB drive

-create a custom mkext file (dont ask me how; I explained that already a few times, just read back the topic)

-Try another distro. I saw a new 10.5.4 ISO for your chipset has been released....

Arial · February 11, 2009

I found the following alternatives

alc885-889a_ad2

ALC888.Audio

ALC888_3.Audio

alc888_3lineout

alc888_ad0

alc888_ad2

ALC888d.Audio

and tried them one at a time by installing the various AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext

with Kexthelper. However still no luck!

I am sure that I have seen in some posts (which I can't seem to find now) who got sound input working on ALC888 chipsets.

Will appreciate additional suggestions.

Try to use different kernel, sometime it will work. then try again using previous kernel.

I'm using Abit IP35-E and select HDAEnabler & alc888_3_Lineouts on custom install.

EDIT

I just read your other post here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=104303

you are using Asrock Conroe1333-D667 right?

then your Southbridge Chipset must be Intel ICH7 http://www.ocworkbench.com/2007/asrock/Con...333-D667/g1.htm

next time post your full detail specs :rolleyes:

try this kext:

Realtek ALC888 for ICH7, ICH8, VIA,..

~1MB

3- a PPF is coming.... I know it says 'Final' but I couldnt help it.

BlackCH,

May I know when/what is going to be in the new PPF? I'm thinking to reinstall everything from scratch tonight (got new hdsik) but suddenly read out your statement about the PPF and thinking should I wait or just do it tonight

Thanx

Im adding things right now... So its difficult to say. Probably next week. The main features so far are: re-organization of the menu items (a bit of cosmetics, better organization, little more info), updated radeon HD drivers, extended NVidia support, remove obsolete items.... and a few more fixes and drivers

kool.. can we have some more information when we click on the custom install what it does?? like I dont know what DSDT is / decrypter / disabler / injector etc.. also like "if u installing this then dont install that " .. some more n00b stuff

also more tools like ntfs-3g mac-fuse.. cyber-duck, universal osx86 etc etc.. if u know what i mean.. .. lol.. dont kill me and when we click on them we can get a small desp on as to what it is used for ..

i m just saying this as a n00b point of view..

intel 1000 PL ethernet card support etc.. i dont know just throwing things.

Excellent work BlackCH

BlackCH · February 12, 2009

like I dont know what DSDT is / decrypter / disabler / injector etc..

Google?

As I said before, to me the installer little info window is a place to put a small detail of the item (name, version, short description), no more. I can not really explain you what DSDT is in this little window. Really, if you dont know what those things are, first read a little about before install. If you have a doubt about certain item just run a google search.

Anyway, I'll see if I can make the things a bit more clear

phonghunter · February 12, 2009

UPDATE 03/02/2009
A new ISO is up at the usual place!

Although the installer has nearly the same options as before (includes the PPF1 and the unreleased PPF2) this is a whole new ISO based on 10.5.6 retail disk (build 9G66). This will get rid of all those localization bugs present on the Rev 2 ISO. The old ISO was based on a 10.5.4 disc, with a hacked 10.5.6 combo update on it; this hack was ugly and it was causing the problems some of you had noticed. With this new ISO you can get a clean retail install.

Besides that main highlight theres a few more small additions:

-AnV 10.5.6 kernel (AMD/Intel)

-Nforce mpc67 boot support

-NVkush custom ram bug fixed

-mkextMaker.app bug fixed

In case you need to install any language pack use the XxX_Language_Pack v2 (it will be uploaded after the ISO start having enough seeds) to avoid incompatibilities.

UPDATE 24/1/2009

Due reported problems related with installing extra language packages (Finder crashing, pref panes with strange characters, etc) I decided to release a post language installer with all the languages missing in the ISO. I've done some tests here and the bugs seems to be gone, so please re-test and let me know. Get XxX_Language_Pack at the usal places

UPDATE 9/1/2009

PPF1 for the XxX_10.5.6 ISO is out

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J9U2WEIZ

(Installer screenshot by Arial)

Addons & Fixes:

-10.5.5 seatbelt.kext installed by default with non 9.6.0 kernels (fixes KP while mounting DMGs)

-DVD player fixed

-GMAx3000/3500 fixed

-10.5.5 NVkexts (for NV FX5xxx graphics cards)

-AppleGraphicsUpdate1.0

-Alps FFScrolls Glide Trackpad driver

-AppleHPET disabler

-10.5.5 keyboard prefpane

-AHCI 10.5.6 fix

-Local time toggle

-MassStorage 205 kext

-USBFamily 328 kexts

-IOPCIFamily 254 kext

-NVkush for 320,512,640,768 mb cards

-New alc 662

-New Sigmatel 9223

-NVinject for DVI output (8400gs/8600)

-mkextMaker

-FunctionFlip prefpane

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For people that have already installed, Im adding here some important fixes that will eventually be added onto PPFs. Also if you dont want to wait for the PPF you can just use these after-install packages as after install.

BUG: Finder Preferences pane crashing after installing any extra lenguage packages.

Fix:

http://www.mediafire.com/?j1uxngmjmyz

BUG: 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext missing on Voodoo 9.5 kernels. This will cause KP when mountings DMGs. (Install this only if you DONT USE vanilla kernel)

Fix:

BUG: DVDPlayer app doesnt install properly.

Fix:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XI22U9X9

Just run the package after main installation.

The new ISO has been just upped (look at the green demon). It includes all the drivers from the previous 10.5.5 release (with all the PPFs) plus some new kexts for 10.5.6.

Please test; 10.5.6 has introduced some changes and some of the old drivers might not work (could even generate kernel panics). As always new add-ons and bugs will be handled by PPFs.

Any bug report must contain detailed hardware (CPU, Chipset, GPU, ATA/SATA controller, -those are the most important ones-. Motherboard model), detail of the items selected at the install process, and offcourse detailed description of the issue itself. Reports failing to comply with this guidelines will be most probably ignored.

Since this ISO is based on the 10.5.5 one the old thread may be helpfull to track problems you might encounter:

That's strange, i have the same chipset motherboard (SB600, motherboard - GA-MA69G-S3H) and your distro works perfectly in fact its the best disro I've ever tried. Just one problem - I cant enable Cool'n'Quiet, my cpu fan runs 2600-2700 rpm Maybe someone got it working? I tried VoodooPower, but after installing this kext I get kernel panic...

On my laptop (signature), I need to have ACPIThermal.kext otherwise the fan doesnt work properly: It only starts when the CPU is very hot. Is not the same but you can try this. Install 'LegacyACPIPlugins' from 'Optional System Kexts'. Theres also a package for CPU throttling that should work on AMDs: GenericCPUPowermanagement 1.1.3

sanctimonious · February 12, 2009

Hello! I'm posting here, as it seems to be quite active...

I've just had a big scare trying to install iPC, which almost ruined my desktop. Someone told me, however, that XxX is the best distribution/release to try, so I would like to get your advice, before I attempt the installation. This is my setup:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 2.67GHz

RAM: 4GB DDR2

Motherboard: P5N-E SLI (BIOS is latest version; Specs: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&amp...mp;modelmenu=2)

Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI

Ethernet: Gigabit LAN featuring AI Net2 Marvell 88E1116 PHY

Audio: Realtek ALC883 6 -Channel

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTS 8800 640MB (PCIe)

Wireless: D-Link DWL-G122 USB (RT2500)

P/S 2 Keyboard

Hard drives: It gets tricky here:

Internal: 1xIDE; two NTFS partitions: one with MBR,Vista & Vista boot loader, another one for storage only.

1xSATA: one NTFS partition: storage only

External: 1 USB SATA Encasing: Four partitions: 40GB Ubuntu Linux (Linux boot loader installed on partition); 4GB swap partition; 79GB NTFS storage partition; the rest is HFS+ formatted, ready to accept OSX86.

Is there anything that I should pay particular attention to when configuring the installation? In particular, I am interested in (a) making sure that I will not have to change BIOS settings all the time to accommodate OSx86, (b ) that I will be able to use the Vista Bootloader before the OSx86 bootloader.

sanctimonious · February 12, 2009

I tried to perform the installation after all, restarted, booted back into Vista, used EasyBCD to add the OSx86 into the bootloader, but when I restart and attempt to boot, I get a "chain booting error". Has no BIOS emulator been installed by default? What have I missed? I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you.

Thank you.

EFI emulator (bootloader) you mean; Yes, Installs chameleon by default.

I do not use Vista nor EasyBCD so I cannot say something specific about. The installer works fine on a fresh partitioned disk, but I guess you want to keep your vista installation.

you can try this:

Go to start/run type: 'diskpart' (without quotes) and enter. A command line window should appear. Then:

>Select disk 0 (the disk of your installation)

>list partition (will show a numbred list of the partitions)

>select partition X (X=number from OSX partiton)

>Active

then restart. You should now boot to osx bootloader (press F8 at boot) and from there choose which partiton you want to boot (OSX, Vista, etc). TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG YOU WONT BE ABLE TO BOOT BACK TO VISTA

fyrekrig · February 13, 2009

I just read your other post here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=104303
you are using Asrock Conroe1333-D667 right?

then your Southbridge Chipset must be Intel ICH7 http://www.ocworkbench.com/2007/asrock/Con...333-D667/g1.htm

next time post your full detail specs

try this kext:

Realtek ALC888 for ICH7, ICH8, VIA,..

~1MB

Full Specs: ConRoe1333-D667 Rev2.04 945GC A2, ICH7 , ALC888

I tried everything now (short of different kernel) and can still only get 2ch Output and no mic, no input. I guess I have to wait for full sound until I get another motherboard.

Suggestion for motherboard that will allow full sound will be appreciated.

othmam · February 14, 2009

Hey BlackCH

Thanks again for this release, I have to admit that all of them worked with no problem at all on my dell latitude D510. But now that I want to try Leopard I downloaded this one and the iPC release and both of them install fine, yours provides the drivers for my GMA915, but when runing leopard there are mouse artifacts which I guess are normal and then there are applications like iCal, Garageband, chess..... that don't work, even with QE/CI enabled.

I'm quite lost.

Can you please help me with that??

I have a Dell Latitude D510

2gigs RAM

Pentium M 1.73ghz

GMA915 128mb

HDD 55gb
