                PROS
        

• WORKS WITH OTHER P5K MOBOS (P35 & ICH9 CHIPSETS)
  
• THE RETAIL SYSTEM IS FASTER THAN THE ONES YOU GET BY USING PATCHED VERSIONS.. (KALYWAY, IDENEB, IAKTOS...)
  
• THE UPDATE PROCEDURE IS EASIER, USING SYSTEM UPDATE
  
• THE SHUTDOWN FEATURE WORKS 100%

                
    CONS
        

• NOT IN ONE DVD INSTALL, YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FIRST
  
• NEED TO FOLLOW SOME PROCEDURES, BY THE BOOK
  
• NEED TO GET AND BURN A DUAL LAYER DVD (FOR THE RETAIL VERSION DVD)

                SO, LET´S START...
                
                1- DOWNLOAD "EVERYTHING" FIRST    

• BURN THE BOOT 123 FOR P5K FAMILY MOBOS CD FIRST (USE TOAST TITANIUM OR NERO, DO NOT USE DISK UTILITY)...
  
• BURN THE INSTALATION DVD WITH NERO BURNING ROOM, TOAST TITANIUM OR WHATHEVER..
  
• COPY THE NECESSARY FILES TO A CD, DVD OR PENDRIVE!

    

        
        2- BOOT WITH BOOT 123 DVD, AFTER LOADING, PRESS " F8 ", OTHERWISE IT WILL LOOP ENDLESSLY, THEN PRESS "ESC" AND REPLACE IT WITH THE DE RETAIL LEOPARD 10.5.6 DVD, PRESS ENTER, AND PRESS ENTER AGAIN, LET IT LOAD, AFTER BOOTING CHOOSE THE LANGUAGE TO USE, BLA, BLA, BLA!
                BEFORE INSTALLING, YOU SHOULD SET UP YOUR HARD DISK PARTITION AS GUID, SELECT THE WHOLE DISK, IN OPTIONS YOU´LL SEE GUID, MBR, ETC..., CHOOSE GUID, AND GIVE IT A NAME, APPLY!
                
                3- IN THE INSTALATION OPTIONS SELECT/DESELECT THE ITEMS YOU NEED/NOT NEED
                
                4- PROBABLY YOU WILL HAVE AN INSTALATION ERROR IN THE END, IGNORE IT! AND REBOOT
                
                5 - BOOT WITH THE BOOT 123 DVD FOR P5K MOBOS AGAIN! PRESS " F8 ", THEN " ESC " AND NOW YOU WILL TYPE A NUMBER FOR THE HARD DISK YOU HAVE INSTALLED MAC OS X IN, FOR THE FIRST HARD DISK TYPE " 80 ", FOR THE SECON HARD DISK TYPE " 81 " AND PRESS ENTER.. IT WILL BOOT MAC OS X IN RETAIL MODE.
                
                6- YOU WILL SEE THE FANCY VIDEO FROM APPLE, CONFIGURE YOUR ACCOUNT, BLA, BLA, BLA...
                
        7- AFTER THAT, YOU NEED TO RUN THE UNIVERSAL OSx86 INSTALLER " UInstaller.app "
        
        

• CHOOSE THE HARD DRIVE TO APPLY TO:
  
• SET THE BOOT TIME THING.. (ONLY IF YOU NEED)
  
• SET NATIVE BOOT RESOLUTION.. (MINE IS 1440 X 900)
  
• CHECK THE INSTALL PC_EFI_V9 OPTION... (NECESSARY, VERY!)
  
• APPLY ETHERNET EFI STRING.. (ONLY IF YOU NEED, TIME MACHINE)
  
• APPLY EFI STRING FOR VIDEO CARD (SELECT YOURS OR CLICK CUSTOM NVIDIA)

    AND CLICK APPLY!
    
                 8- NOW RUN THE 10.5.8 UPDATE, INSTALL IT, BUT DO NOT REBOOT YET.
        
        9- RUN THE P5K-Family_10.5.8.pkg     INSTALLER (link) AND REBOOT WITHOUT THE BOOT 123 CD/DVD!
    
    *NOTE 1:IF YOU WANT SLEEP TO WORK, TRY THIS SOLUTION (link)
    *NOTE 2:IF YOU ENABLE SLEEP, BE AWARE THAT LAN (ATTANSIC) WILL NOT WORK RIGHT AFTER IT, TO DO SO, OPEN THE TERMINAL AND TYPE " attansic " TO REENABLE IT!

          Q: I HAVE A "STILL WAITING FOR BOOT DEVICE" MESSAGE, WHAT IS THAT?
          A: YOU ARE TRYING TO BOOT USING AN IDE DVD THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED, USE A S-ATA DVD!

          A: I DO NOT USE WINDOWS® STUFF, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE DO THAT, SEARCH THE FORUM FOR A HOW-TO. BY THE WAY!

          A: QUICKTIME BUG, AGAIN! FIX POSTED HERE (link).

Q: WHAT COMBO UPDATE DO I DOWNLOAD?
          A: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING FROM A FRESH INSTALL, GET THE NEWEST AND BIGGEST FILE SIZED COMBO UPDATE, IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM A VERSION JUST BEFORE THE UPDATE, LIKE YOU HAVE A 10.5.7 VERSION INSTALLED AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE TO 10.5.8, THEN YOU MAY GET THE SMALLEST COMBO UPDATE SIZED FILE.

[cormorano]

hi @ll,

i have a Asus P5k .... work all perfect whit Kalyway 10.5.2 ...... anly the lan card not work !!!   

.... ther'is a driver to download for work this card ???

thank to all

Bye

[Vinicius Uzeda]

I was trying Leo4all v2, but now I'll try to follow your howto.

My PC is very much yours, Jimmy (the details are on my sig, but the main difference is that I use IDE devices instead of SATA).

Since P5K-SE has only one IDE port, I've had to put both my HD and DVD drive on the same flat cable, and I think this is giving me all troubles I've got.

I've found some tips, but nothing worked. I've tried cpus=2 (for the Core 2 Duo) and cpus=1 (since I've readed that this was needed in some threads), and rd=disk0s2 seemed to give some result for the IDE problem, but the boot only stopped in other fase.

I wanna know wich flags you had to give on DVD startup.

[Vinicius Uzeda]

I've downloaded Kalyway, but no results :S

Can someone give me some help?

[mazuho]

I don't know if this solves your problem or helps you in any way, but you should know that when you connect a hard-drive and an optical drive to the same IDE cable you'll slow the HD down severely. Changing one of them to SATA should solve your case.

Peace, Mazuho

I knew it, but I don't have much choice, since I have only one PATA port in my MoBo. But I don't think that the connection speed of the devices will interfer in the installation process. And I can't afford a SATA device, since I've spent almost all my money upgrading my PC

I'm having no luck getting ethernet working (10.5.2, p5k se).  

Unfortunately, the link in this thread is no longer available(?!?):

The error returned was:
Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again.

I've gotten the driver zip from post 307 of the main driver thread on this forum, and followed the instructions (basically, running sh installrelease.sh), but after rebooting, it is clearly not picking up the nic.  No mention in system.log, nothing else present under ifconfig -a, and this of course is a known good working setup (under windows, ick).

Can someone point out to me please the location of the correct driver file, and confirm that it's as simple as I think it should be?  I really don't know why this bit is so hard, as the OSX install went much more easily than I thought.

Any hlpe, advice and/or pointers would be really appreciated - thank you!

[Nimiety]

Progress... Used a packaged version of the driver and it worked (instead of the kext, which seemed to be blocked by permissions issues despite sudo??).

Still have to install the video driver for my hd 2400 pro (found it though) so I can get VNC server to start, and track down my audio problems with the onboard system.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Check my signature, there is a link to a working ethernet driver (Attansic L1 Ethernet)

excuse me, mr jimmy, but what if you want to multiboot ur pc? i used to have kalyway 10.5.2 and manually updated that to 10.5.4 10.5.5 never seems to work right. im considering following your steps. my mac partition is in the second partition of my first hard disk.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

well, in fact I do not multiboot, os x is the only os I use, ocasionaly I use parallels desktop to install a virtual machine, but you should try chain0 method, google it, there you may find your answer

[The Director]

Hi Jimmy, I found your guide the best for P5K users like us to get the Retail Leopard working... but I still got problems with the boot, although I followed carefully your instructions!
I got video and audio working, and had no problems installing the kexts, but I found a very bizarre change: the hard disks were switched in Disk Utility and in the Boot Device Priority of the BIOS (so I cannot boot automatically but only pressing F8 and choosing my Leo hd; I tried to choose that hd as Startup Disk in the System Preferences, but no way of restarting, just an audio effect of error). By the way, I can't boot without the bootloader CD ASUSP5K.ISO and can't help typing -v -f at boot...

... this is the diagnostic message: "mDNSresponder: WARNING sandbox_init error: could not set Mach lookup policy for service com.apple.ocspd" (and the same message for com.apple.SecurityServer, com.apple.SystemConfiguration, etc.)

Can you help me please?

Doesn't matter, everything went great thanks to your guide and I got a working Leo!!!
I found your guide the best to P5K users!

There are just 2 problems to fix: shutdown and firewire ports not working... how could you help me?

Thanks again

I used Boot 132 procedure trying to install Leopard.

My hardware configuration follow:

Motherboard: Asus P5K
CPU: Intel Q6600
Ram: 4GB Corsair DDR2
Video card: NVidia 8500

I used this one http://forum.insanel...o...st&p=870159 to boot the system...

The problem comes when I try to run Leopard install disc.

It appear a pop-up window saying "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer" and two buttons "Ok" and "Reboot".

If i choose "Ok" I can use Utility disk to erase the disk and so on.

I must say that I used Kalyway 1.5.2 and it run properly and work very very well.

.

That message comes up if you are not using a retail disk, but are in fact using a restore disk that comes directly from Apple with a laptop.  So you will need to find a retail disk.

I just updated my BIOS before installing Leo, no more than a month ago!
The older version didn't let me install properly any type of Hackintosh...

So you didn't use any type of fix or kext to get the shutdown working? and your firewire as well?

[picoBrain]

The same.

I'll download "osx-leopard105.dmg", that one of 6,66 GB.

I hope it will work better than this.

Pray for me...
