i will search in a moment.

regarding the weird overclocking problems, lately i keep having my overclock fail for no reason. It isn't any hotter than normal, and my setup passed an 8 hour Prime95 stress test, so its fine.

maybe i will try updating the bios.

I have never had the problem you described, but i am on the out of box bios.

ok well here is the thread:

http://forum.insanel...showtopic=77069

If what you mean is the system is forever rebooting and never boots beyond POST unless you pull the plug for 10 seconds or so to fix. I am getting that too sometimes.

Hi folks,

I have been subscribed to this guide since the beginning, and I had a working 10.5.0 installation using the flat image method.  I then upgraded to 10.5.2 using the Kalyway safe update (which does not replace important kexts) and the new 9.2 speedstep kernel, but now my Sleep functionality is lost.  When I select "Sleep", the computer turns off but when I turn it back on, the power goes into a loop of ON for 3 seconds, OFF for 3 seconds, ON for 3 seconds, OFF, etc.

Any idea if this is a .kext issue or a kernel issue?

EDIT: I answered my own question by trying to boot with my old 10.5.0 kernel, and Sleep works fine, so it is apparently a kernel issue.

Son of a !@#$%, the ethernet on my board up and died.  Not just in OSX, all reference to it (lan bootROM etc) disappeared from BIOS. It's like it never existed, damn hardware failure- I have to RMA the board and that might take forever.  /end rant/

I had to press my old P5LD2 (945P) into service (after fishing it out of a corner of the shed and getting rid of the spider who made a nest in the PCIe slot), forgot how pokey the 945 boards were.  I can only get the CPU up to 2.4 before the board chokes and with no water cooling it's sitting on a toasty 48ºC idle, fck me...

Anyhow, there was a point to this... Oh, yeah... you can drop our installs straight onto 945 boards and they boot fine.
(for what it's worth)

Did anyone get the front panel mic jack working on their DS3P. I got the headphones to work but the Mic won't work from the front, Only from the back.

did you try all options in system preferences?

Do other output jacks work?

When you built your computer, did you plug the front panel into the HDA port or the AC97 port on the mobo? If you plugged it into the AC97 one then you need a different solution. Mine is only for HDA.

Hello,

I followed the netkas tutorial and the 10.5.2 update should be fine.
But now I can't login with any user.

My Hackintosh boots up to the login window without any errors.
Now I try to login, it accept my username and password, then i see the blue background... and then I'm back at the login window.

I used the -s boot option and then fsck -fy but that don't fix it.

So, can someone help me please?

Thanks a lot

[socal swimmer]

did you have a working 10.5.0/1 install?

if so, take the kexts out of the brazilmac patch foler (brazilmac patch/leopatch/ext) and copy them to your extensions folder. You will have to boot in single user (-s) or from the dvd to do this.


report back on how it goes!

Hi,

this will not fix the problem!

I have an clean 10.5.1 install.
Then I try to updateto 10.5.2, and then I can't login.

I have tried to install 10.5.2 to another volume (that haves an 10.5.1 installed).
But then I get the same problem.

My Hardware:
GA P35-DS3P
Intel Coure 2 Duo E6750
EAX 1950 Pro

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

My MB is a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I  started your procedure with a brand new retail Leopard DVD. I ran the  BrazilMac-9a581-Patch on it. Everything was going great unitl I got to  this step in the the main install guide:(starts checking install DVD at 5:27, install begins at 5:31, install succeeds at 5:40 [it guessed 12 minutes])The  verification ran for quite a while, hit 100% and I immediately got an  install failed screen witht he yellow ! icon. It did not go into any  detail about why the verification failed.I reboote into the  patched DVD and tried again. This time I clicked 'skip' on the  verification. The install started and ran for 4-5 minutes (it estimated  a 15min install) and then I got another install failed dialog. This  time it stated that the installer could not verify the 'Essentials'  package.Any Ideas? Is my problem that I have 'too new' of a retail DVD? Is there a newer BrazilMac patch or something?Mucho Thanks in advance,BarryHelp! Install DVD verification fails....My MB is a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

@barry01

I think this happens because you don't deselect all things at the custom install dialog.
Boot into the DVD -> bevor you start the install, go to the customize option on the left side -> and deselect all possible things.

OS X tries to install some stuff, that isn't on your patched DVD.

yeah. Here is what you should do. First, follow the netkas guide to installing 10.5.2:

http://netkas.org/?p=50


if it fails after doing that, then try copying all the brazilmac postpatch extensions (leopatch/ext) into your extensions folder.

Report back!

EDIT::

barry01:

try genin's suggestion first.

if your dvd is 10.5.1/2, then that may be a problem. i have no experience with this.  another big possibility is that you simply had a bad burn, and should try to patch/burn the dvd again.

Yes, but this dose not fix my problem.
I installed 10.5, then I updated to 10.5.2 with netkas tutorial. <- That is ok.
Then I try to login, and after login I am back at the login screen <- That is my problem.
Then I copied all the patched files from brazilmach postpatch to my extensions folder (in -s mode) <- That do not fix it...

I have also tried to update from 10.5 to 10.5.1 and then to 10.5.2 <- Same problem.

So could it be that I need more patched files?When I install 10.5 then I do not add extra patched files, just the files from your installation tutorial (for sound and mv the efi file) and the patched files from the brazilmac postpatch.

That is all.
I just copied the files from brazilmach... But it dos not work...        ... help ...

Well, I found this tutorial http://forum.insanel...o...14&hl=login but the file that must be deleted is not there... Maybe it is to old...

I think I will try to update with Kalyway 10.5.2 updater...
Did you know or think that is possible? Or only when I have also installed 10.5.1 with the Kalyway image?

that should work, as far as i can tell. No obvious conflicts.

to fix your problem:

Probably won't work:
http://docs.info.app...l?artnum=306840

Shows the same problem (on a real iMac), but no helpful solution:
http://docs.info.app...l?artnum=306965

that is really weird though. I'm stumped. Did the installation go fine?

PS:

My dad had this problem on his iMac (C2D, white) when using a 10.5.1 install disk. He used my original 10.5.0 disk and it worked fine. So perhaps its the disk?

[genin]

hmm... I use the original 10.5 DVD to install. (ok, it's patched but it's the 10.5 DVD).
Today I will try to update with the Kalyway updater... after I have checked you links.

Hi guys

In following the guide, one of the first things I did was swith to AHCI(on both controllers) and port 0-3 to native. I have the GA P35-DS3P (rev 1.0), E6750, HD2900pro, IDE dvd writer and a WD 320GB sataII drive connected to the sata0 port on the ICH9R. I have 1 partion with xp sp2 installed (did it sata set to IDE mode), and a healthy chunk of unallocated space intented for osx.  however right after switching to sata to AHCI, during bios bootup system hangs with a screen showing that it has dectected one (raid/ahci) controller on ich9r and one device( being my only connected harddrive). when rebooting or powering off and on, and mashing the delete button it won't even let my get into bios setup. I never even got to the point where I pop in the mac os x disc. only cure was to unplug the hd at which point instead of hanging it said it couldn't find a hd, but now hitting delete during boot got me into bios setup.

any help much appreciated
