I've actually gotten it to install on my eVGA 680i. But this is taking into consideration that I'm installing on an IDE disk and booting from an IDE DVD Drive. I had to disable a core in my bios to get it to boot properly, and I'm still having trouble getting it to recognize my second core. But other than that it's installed and running. Now I never could get it to install straight from the dvd, so I had to install JaS 10.4.8 and update it to 10.4.10 and then use mac.nub's dvd and install ONLY graphics drivers for my 8800GTS. After that, I used the ToH DVD and installed the essentials and rebooted. First time I booted up I got a kernel panic saying something about GEFORCE blah,blah,blah. So I rebooted and used the -x -v flags, and whatch'ya know booted into the system.

 

I'm not really sure if I could have installed to my sata's, as I never did try, and they were recognized. But as everyone knows, this chipsets sata support isn't that great at this point, so I'm reluctant to try at the moment. I don't know, may of worked though.

 

So at this point I can boot into it, the only problems I have are

 

1: Need to figure out how I can resolve my kernel panics so I can alleviate the need to boot using the -f flag. ( I think I can solve the GEFORCE panic be installing mac.nub's easy installer.)

 

2: Need to get it to recognize my second core.

 

3: Need to get my NIC to work. (Tulip will solve this one.)

 

If I can get this stuff takin care of, I will have a fully functional 680i hackintosh!

 

Hope this helps some people.... Solotitan

Very nice info! Im currently running 10.4.8 and i have yet to find an updater that would work without killing my system on steps to 10.4.10! What method did you use? I as well am currently using ide devices! And you ran the ToH essentials to update your 10.4.10 installation? If so, it shouldnt be iso specific right because i have an iso but it isnt the ToH image..? If you would, could you please tell how you would go about just installing essentials? Lol sorry for the questions but your like the only person i know of that has had success so this will be food for a multititude!

To update to 10.4.9, I did this;

 

Download the 10.4.9 Delta updater from apple and then

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...pdateintel.html

 

1) Open up the terminal and type "sudo -s" then "your password" then the following (line by line):

cp /mach_kernel /old
cp -R /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleACPIplatform.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleAPIC.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/system.kext /

2) Keep terminal open.

3) Open disk utility and keep it open

4) Run the delta installer (AND DO NOT RESTART---IGNORE THE INSTALLER WINDOW)

 

5) Open terminal and type the following:

cp /old /mach_kernel
cp -R /loginwindow.app /system/library/coreservices/
cp -R /AppleSMBIOS.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /AppleACPIplatform.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /AppleAPIC.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /IOATAFamily.kext /system/library/extensions/
cp -R /system.kext /system/library/extensions/
rm -rf /system/library/extensions.*

 

6) Open disk utility and repair permissions for your OS X partition

 

and then restart. You should have a 10.4.9 system.

 

 

Now for 10.4.10

 

 

To update to 10.4.10 go to the software update feature and install all the updates, but when it gets through with the last one (the 10.4.10 update) DO NOT RESTART! Repeat the above at step 1. Reboot and you should have a 10.4.10 system!

 

As for the essentials on the ToH DVD you can click customize and uncheck everything ie: printer drivers, languages, X11....... and it will just install the "essentials."

 

As for other leopard DVD's I have no idea.

 

Note: The above code is taken from a Joe Cargo thread, Big thanks to him and all OSx86 Devs!

Fixed the GeForce related kernel panics by reinstalling the graphics kexts with mac.nubs easy installer and editing some Info.plist files within 3 diffrent kexts. Listed here;

 

GeForce.kext

NVDANV50Hal.kext

NVDAResman.kext

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x019310de</string> <----- This is the string that had to be changed, at least in my case.

 

The only problem I have now is that system profiler crashes, and I can only use one core.

im about to try the update on an 10.4.8 installation i dont care about....and what exactly did you mean on the update from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 part when you said go back to step one? I should just have to restore right? Not run the delta installer and such twice right?

Install the 10.4.9 update like I described and when you get done with that, do this;

 

1) Open up the terminal and type "sudo -s" then "your password" then the following (line by line):

cp /mach_kernel /old
cp -R /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleACPIplatform.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/AppleAPIC.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext /
cp -R /system/library/extensions/system.kext /

 

 

and then open up Software Update and download the 10.4.10 update. When it gets done and installs, do just like you did to the 10.4.9, follow steps 2 - 6 and restart.

 

 

 

Hope that helps ~ solotitan

Very nice info! Im currently running 10.4.8 and i have yet to find an updater that would work without killing my system on steps to 10.4.10!

 

Same here. I'm redoing everything using Solotitan's method.

Hope it will work :(

 

From taking a look at this method, he's actually just following the standard procedure to update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10 (from Joe Cargo's guide) except that Solotitan doesn't seem to update his kernel (you know, going to irc to get the latest one etc...).

I know that for me, updating the kernel never worked for me.

 

Anyway I'll post the results as soon as I'm done.

it works! follow the exact steps he posted here! but one thing to make note of is that once you update from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 if your using an 8800 you have to delete those "NV" files before it will boot! Here's a screenshot:picture1ta9.pnglet me know if you need anymore help! Imma get my 8800 working now! lol
ive got an evga 680i, ive given up on trying to install mac on it so im looking into getting a new mobo. what did you guys get working on leopard such as sound ethernet etc.. thanks!
you need the 10.4.8 JaS edition! it should contain ppf1 and ppf2 as well as the defiant patch! its the only one that works then you can update using the instructions posted here.

what about sound and lan?

 

From Solotitan's post #2, they both work...

 

And to reply to your PM:

Tiger -> everything works.

Leopard -> Can't even boot the install disc so I can't tell you what works for me.

 

The best would be to try yourself and maybe you can post what hardware you use -_-

I can't manage to boot from TOH's dvd >.<I get a kernel panic. It has something to do with the GeForce.kext and NVDAResman.kext drivers, so I don't really know what to do.And this is by booting from the dvd with one core.
hit -x as the boot flag and you should be able to boot! those panics are from the graphics drivers you need to delete them once you get booted and restart then you should b fine!...From there run the correct installer to load your graphics drivers or manually with the kext
