hey eddie,

awesome work, respect! smile.gif
installed v3 today only had some minor problems/missing kexts but itīs running 100% stable!
could you please include alc889a and realtekR1000_1.04 along with the triakis driver as zarac posted before?
iīm not exactly sure if the appleHDApatcher 1.20 was included, so here it is.
that would be great!
thanks again!

regards,
rramon

hi eddie.
i already asked this, but i guess i was late for the v3.
the problem is my radeon 3870 (by gigabyte, device 9501, vendor 1002) works only with triakis driver package, and not with the newer natits.
there are a few more users i chatted with on irc who had the same problem.
new lamna natit for some reason works only for some 3850 and 3870's, not all.
triakis package works fine when installed after leopard graphics update - if applied after triakis, leo graphics update breaks qe/ci.
it would be nice to have it on the dvd for those unlucky users like me.

once again, thank you for devoting your time and efforts into this.
respect.


edit:
for some reason i donīt get all information about my Hd (Samsung 501LJ) and DVD-RW (Samsung SH-S183L) but both do work. did i something wrong or is it due to the hacked leo??
should i have include the appleAHCIport.kext like these?

If you can put in the option for the AppleHDA 9227 STAC in the installation that would help a few people out. It was the only thing your install didn't include that I had to get on my own

Eddie, I'm so pleased with your work, I almost hesitate to ask for something - and this is kindof a doozie... but I'm sure we'd all love a widget that would display CPU temp and system temp.

*quickly ducks*

Ok, ok, I know that'd be really hard! It'd just... be nice, is all.

could you please include alc889a and realtekR1000_1.04

i've discovered that original realtek drivers published on their website (version 2.0.0, released 2008/3/26) work perfectly for my 8111-8139 integrated ethernet on gigabyte p35-ds3l. no modification necessary.
the driver can be found on realtek drivers download page (direct download link).

as for sound drivers, in my opinion there's just too many different chips and revisions to include them ALL on the install dvd.

but if eddie decides to make it so, it would be great to make a little research and specify what mobo comes with with certain sound chip.
for example:
  • ALC889a - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P/DS3R/DS4, don't know any others, that's why the research is needed
  • ALC888 - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L, don't know any others, that's why the research is needed
it would make installation much easier for the noobish users who don't know about their audio chip, sometimes it's not easy to figure out which one your mobo has.

It's not something that needs to junk up an install DVD. Download Temperature Monitor and be done with it.

I have a few idea I am going to try to include. I will have more time in the coming week to work on this, so should make some good progress. I am tempted to wait for 10.5.3 so I can include it, but who knows when apple finalizes it.
(MoC)
Many people are having issues here and there with nVidia cards. Please put the newest nVinject on the new disc, as it allows proper resolution and QE/CI support.
iSkylla
Which cards? I didn't have problems but then again, I've only tested one card 8800GTS.

I don't have problems, I heard that some people had issues with the GO platform of nVidia cards.
iSkylla
Well that's not NVinject, it's NVinject Go and that's been the same version for a while I believe.

I would wait for 10.5.3 as it is really close and this way you would have the first release with 10.5.3 smile.gif

Well the next update is a matter of two weeks time I am guessing. Let's see how far Apple can get. Thus far, I have not heard of any problems with the current build. Its only a matter of time now. - Cheers! =)

Why should extraneous programs like this be added, it just adds unnecessary space to the disk, download it once you've installed it.

this will give notebook users with Keyboard issues, Synapticspads scrolling, tapping etc AND Powermanagement with batterymeter!
Install description inside the zipfile
If this works it would be very welcome. As I have noted in the Leo4allv3 thread I have had a lot of problems getting to bootup to the desktop, requiring up to three or four tries and sometimes when I get there the keyboard doesn't work. This has happened with Kalyway, also.

ICH8R would be welcome, also.

I need speedstep, so no benefits to me in 10.5.3's kernel. I need to read up on what the fixes are in 10.5.3. but I'm never sure it's a good idea to be an early adopter - stability is what gets merit badges smile.gif Good on you.
eddie11c
Ok working powermanagement was already included. I will probably not change it out unless a known better version is available and so far I have seen no evidence of such. The touchpad scrolling and such also will not be included. It is dodgy at best, I prefer to keep the main components needed working as good as possible. People are free to customize/break the install afterwards however they feel fit. The PS2 is as fixed as it can get, works perfect on all of my computers, those with issues now is usually some type of hardware incompatibility. I am reorganizing everything now so it is easier to follow since now there are options for EFI and Non-EFI.
scottishduck
Maybe swap out Firefox 2 for Firefox 3 Beta?

It's by far a much better browser. smile.gif

eddie11c:

Did you have any joy with the instant reboot for AMD users? I can't seem to track down whether it is EFI or kernel, or a mixture of both.

I don't know what's going on with my erratic boots. I still suspect it has something to do with having two leopard partitions somehow confusing the bootloader, not sure.

Look forward to seeing this. I imagine 10.5.3 is going to have issues that will take a while to smooth out so probably no point in waiting for it at this stage. Good to hear you're going for what works. Not sure what happened with the last Kalyway, so many people having USB problems. Thanks for being one of the greats generating interest and, ultimately, sales for Apple. smile.gif

By the by, with laptops is it best to remove the thermal kext? Edit:-the answer apparently, or at least during iATKOS install, is yes.

I need a compatibility with asus laptop that has a amd tk53 and nVidia 7000m....help thanks!
eddie11c
Ok just an update, I have been hard at work on this. The instant reboot for those P4 and Phenom users will be a thing of the past. I just need time to finish testing and clean up installer a bit more. I have to play with the new EFI also, if it seems to work well I will ask zef if I can integrate it. The new EFI though has no bearing on instant reboots, you still must use no EFI option.

eddie11c: Your news on the instant reboot is very welcome indeed!! smile.gif

Is it likely to solve the issue for dual Opterons or just P4 and Phenoms?

Hi eddy

I use a notebook amilo pro with a intel 900/915 chipset.

It rocks on 10.4.11 with qe and ci but there aren't any driver for leopard....

So i read in the forum that the trick for tiger work on leopard (10.4.11 xxx install disk have the driver )

If you can use it in your disk i thank you!!!.
(so intel 900/915 have some fastidious problem ...when leopard start graphic interface...the main display go off...it's a problem resolved with correct driver.)

So in the next day i try to attach in this forum the correct driver. But i need help from other user with 900/915 chipset...

tdtran1025
I am fairly new at this. I just installed Leo4Allv3 last week on one machine with the ASUS P5k-E board. It is now working nearly perfect, minus the audio extras. It was a week of intense learning( and joy) as I tried to redo it 6, 7 times to get the hang of it. Man, in the Windows world, it would have been calamities. Here, each install would only take about an hour from scratch.
I did several attempts on other machines at home with NVidia chipset. The HTPC machines all have NVidia MCP73 chipset and they won't install at all 'cause MAC installer won't see any hard drives.
Maybe I don't know much about this process yet, but I need to ask anyway. Here is my question/request.
Is there support for this tyope of motherboard? Where would I go to find info on this? If I had to buy an addon internal SATA card to make it work, what SATA chipset would this distro support- Silicon Image, VIA, SIS or else?
This last suggestion might be my cheapest solution to the NVidia mass storage problem on install, instead of sort of replacing all motherboards withIntel ICHx chipset.
Any comments from anyone?
Thank you

A better AppleACPIPlatform and AppleACPI kext on the install dvd!

The boot thing is such a pain and I'm sure I'm a pain going on about it, too! Acer user here, intel. I'm worried I'm going to wear out my power button. Takes about three to four attempts to boot up and sometimes the keyboard doesn't work. freezes with mention of ACPIPS2Nub and appleacpiplatform.

Hey if you know of a better version that the one from 10.4.5 Tiger then please tell.... I would love to get rid of this issue for people, but don't know of a way currently.

I just switched from v2 to v3, and for the most part everything works wonderfully. But if I use the installer on the DVD for my nVidia 8800gts 640mb, the screen blanks out after going thru the verbose boot (this after the install and on my actually OS boot). But if I install without the nVidia drivers and then install the kexts and NVinject using NVInstallerV.41, it works fine. I don't know what the difference is causing the problem. Its only a minor issue since everything works for me in the long run, but I thought I'd point it out in case its a simple fix.



I had this problem as well with a 384mb 8800GS except my system would hang during the boot process. Installing without graphics drivers let me boot into OS X and I then used NVInstaller with the Vanilla 256mb driver and all is well. System Profiler even displays the correct VRAM.

Just venting, sorry smile.gif not at you and your excellent releases - but at 'it'. Deeply frustrating. I suspect the same will hold true for the new iATKOS. I would love to use Tiger on that laptop but there are no drivers for the GMA X3100, as far as I have been able to find any.
zybercynic
Get them before they go.

Sick of trying to get your X300 working with more resolution options?

Newegg have a great special on a 7300GT 256Mb - installed one this afternoon, loaded NVInject with all drivers then installed and booted. It works without any drama.

I have some people testing right now, but am still waiting to finish some updates. I think AMD compatibility is working now in chameleon(new EFI) so I am hopeful to add this, will need to do some more testing first.

Fully agree with including the "real" Realtek v2.0 drivers for gig ethernet adapters.

I've been using them with both PCI card based 8169 cards and those motherboards with integrated Realtek gigabit chips.

Have been very stable.

Has solved stability issues for a few folks I recommended it to.

Hi there!

First of all, thanks for the disc .... A very good install disc overall. Very complete and users have the options to test a lot of options.

However I would like to point (if I am correct, I apologise), this is about the options for GMA950 kexts / fix.

This is especially true for especially Dell notebooks. I have seen people with Acer/Compaq/Toshiba/etc - all having success with the fix but no one confirmed success for GMA950 on laptops.

Might be best to put a description in there for users choosing GMA950 (...eg this is not applicable for dell) or something.
Art?!
He! Can you also fix the problem that whenever I install a program, after that I can't restart or shut down?

Hey Eddie,
Can you add ATI SB600 support? Cuz I tried to install Leo4All v3 before
and you told me that ATI SB600 was a bitch, and that I had to inject
the kext, which didnt wanna work for me. So if you can, can you make this realease compatible with the ATI SB600. I would really like to try Leo4All on my AMD box. I know Ive said this in the IRC about SB600. Yet, I cant boot into any of the other installers except Zephyroth's.
Keep Up the good work Eddie. And It would be nice to pop in and say Hi once in a while in the IRC!! happy.gif

Hi Eddie
Nice work and good luck with your new release..
I'm writing from Leo4All v3 thumbsup_anim.gif
Could you please include Taruga AD1988b installer for Analog Devices sound cards?
It works for a lot of people (take a look here) and it works for me too.
It's the only kext that makes my mic work so i can use VoIP on my Hackint0sh.

Will this get a Gateway ML6720 notebook keyboard working? I've tried so many things and have had no success. So, I had to reinstall, but now I can't complete the install process because the keyboard won't work during or after the install.

Would be a great patch in the install DVD to get the keyboard working from the beginning. The trackpad works, but all I see in verbose mode is:

ApplePS/2Keyboard probe failed

hi eddie,

I updated my system with a geforce 8600gt and did a
clean install.

Although I could install nvinject and the card was recognized correctly I had a startup freeze after installing the nvidia kexts.

I tried every combination - allways freeze at the end of verbose mode, right before switching to the desktop.

It worked finally when I did an install without any drivers and used nvinstaller 4.1 for installing the drivers.

Since the files should be the same, maybe there is someting wrong with the nvidia installation of v3.
InteliMac Pro
I had the exact same problem, only with an 8800gs. Oddly, the 8600gt I had before worked perfectly, but when I did a fresh install with the 8800, it always froze right at the end of verbose mode. Installing with the updated kexts in nvinstaller .41 finally got it running. Its been purring along nicely now for the last few weeks. Now if I could just get it to wake from sleep...

I have 8600GT too but nvinstaller41 doesn't work for me.. just get kernel panic everytime i boot.. sad.gif
nvidia kexts of leo4allv3 + nvinject 0.2.1 work perfect thumbsup_anim.gif
so files are different from nvinstaller41 and nvidia installation of v3 works just fine..

write your specs in your signature wink.gif

what about 10.5.3 eddie?
will you make leo4allv4 based on 10.5.3? hope so..
great work, anyway!
i'm living just for your new release and for the iPhone 3G biggrin.gif
eddie11c
If I have time in the next week or so I plan on adding 10.5.3. Just time lately has been very short to work on anything. I will post an update once I make some progress(All I need to do at this point is integrate 10.5.3 and add a couple device drivers and update the video drivers again.
