JaS's latest DVD comes with the following release notes:

JaS's releases are renowned for their high quality, and no doubt this one will continue the trend. Good luck installing everyone, I know I can't wait

EDIT: Got a screenshot of the Installer options, looks very complete with a plethora of drivers. Nice work! -REVENGE

ohboyohboyohboy!

Good move putting the server packages on there! I know that it could have been done separately in the past, but it sure will be nice to have it all on one disc with the option to either install it or not :-)

Thank you SO much JaS! :-)

Good job JAS your are one that made a difference! I really believe in this community and would like to help because in my country a mac is more expensive to buy than anywhere and i mean it, if u don't believe me google it and you shall be convinced. Search for a mac's price in Romania. Still i'm sorry about not donating to the cause, but i am a bit poor. Beer is cheap though here. You can find beer festivals everywhere but only 6 retailers that sell macs, i say this because there is a beerfest near where i live. Good luck to everyone with this release and may Win and X be free!

My JaS 0Sx86 10.5.4 Server Install :



After Install and Reboot i got this error: "Boot 1: Error" , and i couldn't boot into the OS...
I managed to boot into the OS using this cdrom :
Then once setup the server configurations and inside the OS i had to install Chameleon boot loader to the hdd and also timemachine fix and cpu info fix , here's the package: Jas boot fix other fixs .zip

What's the advantage of using server over retail Leopard?

you need a serial Key :S ? damn

Oh well looking good tho!

Server is if you want a dedicated server... that only serves stuff.. If you want a desktop machine/workstation etc.. ignore the server part.

So you have a choice to install either?

I think with the server version of Leopard you don't have too many programs that can run on it and by default it does not have the programs that came with the client version, I am probably wrong, but I tested the windows vista client and the server version and definitely they are different. I think I will enjoy more the client version, I will use only the server if I plan to setup a server, other than that is useless. Going back to your question, Jas said that you can install the client or the server in this DVD.

We were discussing this just the other night.. Why do people overthink & overcomplicate things for themselves? It's very simple:

If you are setting up an os x server and have a serial for it, install server.

In all other cases, don't install server.

<stop here, that's all you need to know about server vs client>

So

It's finally here... The first hackintosh to beat the JaS hackintosh...

The new JaS hackintosh

(...and I won't miss this one...)

Thanks Hagar, that post is right on the money. It never ceases to amaze me how often people simply make assumptions and treat them as facts, or even take TWO SECONDS to do a google search for Leopard Server to get all of the information they could ever want!

Not to mention not reading the very first post and seeing that the server install is optional.

I want to say that I am sure that altho I have put a lot of work into this there is going to be issues. with that said I will be available today to fix them and release a ppf if /when needed. So please do me yourself and everyone a favor. Report the issues to me and be clear about how you came to have the bug, how to reproduce it and I will fix them straight away.

LOL no sooner did I make this post that I found out a new version of NVKush is ready, So I will be making a ppf today for this iso to update this driver along with any bugs found.

Longue vie à JaS!
Can't hardly wait to install & try this beauty

Hey JaS, can you do us a favor and put up a screenshot of all the custom options available in the Installer?

is this the correct md5? couldnt find it anywhere.
MD5 (/Volumes/BiG/JaS OSx86 10.5.4 Client Server Intel SSE2 SSE3/JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso) = d40b1d35268005eb9af23759fa8db2f0

Work with AMD??

CRASH:

localhost halt[412]:hallted by root

Thinkpad X40

Hardware:
* CPU: Intel Pentium-M 1.4GHz (P M 738 LV) (SSE2), 2MB L2 Cache, 400MHz FSB
* Chipset: Intel 855GME
* GFX: Intel Extreme Graphics II (Intel 855GME), 1024x768 XGA, 24bit

It seems it works with AMD by selecting StageXNU kernel

Thanks Great release,

Here some of the problems

1. PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse on my laptop doesn't work even if you select the PS2Fix,
Solution: Connect a USB keyboard then installed "PS/2 Fix Installer for OSx86 10.5.4 By ~pcwiz"
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117359
And it worked great!
2. Battery Meter does not show even with the fixs out there.
Edit:
This works for me " AppleACPIBatteryManager for Tiger and Leopard, Showing battery meter on your notebook "

Hi everybody.
I try to install on a acer travelmate 290 laptop with intel 855GM chipset, centrino mobile 1,4 GHz SSEE2.
The installation finish ok but in the first boot i see this message with -v mode.
Anybody has an idea?
Thanks

The reason most ppl don't get replies is because they select the wrong packages in the installation or don't know their own hardware well enough. I wont hold ppls hands to get this working. When I see enough issues that are real issues and not user error, I will fix them with a patch.

If your system boots the dvd it will boot after the installation if you select the proper chipset driver.

This will not work on AMD. Just cause that kernel is in there. It does not contain the amd patch

Hmm, your chipset should be supported.. Do you have a SATA or IDE HDD?

Don't know about you guys, but the ALC 888 driver is not working on my MSI P45 Platinum.. Everything else works just perfect OOTB, just the sound not working. Have other people also had this problem or it is just me who have had this issue?

Hello JaS,

I tried to boot your DVD on an Dell Inspiron 1720 (Intel Core 2 Duo) and the boot process freeze with "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 0:23".
The iA... 10.5.4 Version is booting without any problem. Do you have a workaround for me or do you need some logs from my system to have a deeper look into that?

With kind regards
Hofy

I keep getting an error towards the end of installation, have tried it on 2 different machines (both with nvidia graphics)

The error is:

The following install step failed: run postflight script for NVKush.

Anyone have any idea if it is a dud burn of the iso or a dud download? or something else?

Hi, Jas, thanks for the great release finally.
The installation went smoothly, but the system could not find my PS2 keybord after the welcome screen. Any suggestion?

Laptop: HP Compaq 6720s
Intel C2D 5470 1.6G
Intel 965P
X3100

For your keyboard, i had the same problem, if your mouse is working, put inside the JAS DVD.
then go to:
system>installation>packages>patches:
from there found the file named -> ApplePS2Controller.pkg
install it and then it should work.
Hope it works for you.
for me it worked

Everything running smooth and seeding on my:
Dell i9300 SSE2
dell wireless 1450
nvidia 6800go

Thanks JAS and all the development team =)

We're getting the same error on a:
Core Duo E4600 2.4GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE
Motherboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (ICH9 Chipset) (ALC888 Sound)
SATA hard drive and SATA DVD

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I tried but it didn't work for me.
Finally, I found the solution by the PS2Fix1054 by pcwiz. The original is here:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117359
Hope it will help for similar situations.

Intel Pentium Northwood 2.6
Mobo? HP Compaq d230 (Lite-On)
ATI Radeon x1650 Pro AGP 512MB
1 Gb RAM

Installation was smoothly. I enable the ATI 1600 AGP driver and AGPGart from the instillation option menu.
When try to restart, i enter within start-reboot loop.
Try with -v, the system is unable to load the graphic driver and restart-starting, load Darwin, then two lines and reboot itself.

Thanks anyway-your releases JaS was always good.

k...still dont know the md5 hash. i d/ld from the green machine and have a md5 of f7e82424d6efb474950b361db7840c91.
is this correct...are we all on the same page?


by the way, this is a KICKASS release. installed flawlessly w/o ANY error or permission fix on my dell 755 quad...

I'm having a couple of problems...first I get an error in the installer whenever I try to install the nvidia drivers. I don't know what's caused that, so I've put it off for now and will probably end up needing to screw around with drivers anyway because of my card (8800GS 384mb).

but the biggest problem is that it will install, but when I try to boot I get a message saying "boot1: error". From what I've found, this is definitely a bootloader problem, and might have something to do with my Intel ICHx SATA functionality...not sure? I've tried screwing around with install settings, but no luck!

UPDATE: I've been able to get over the issue after tinkering around with it...I think the fix was installing the JMicron drivers. not sure tho, not even sure if my board had a JMicron chipset (I'm probably wrong)...I saw a few other people with different solutions that had the same problem.



yes, I have the same MD5...you are probably fine!

Just want to address a few issues here real fast. It is late and I have been working on a ppf patch for the iso for 14 hours straight now.

The boot issue for some users should be fixed with this ppf. It is not a wide spread issue so the limited test group I had did not experience this.

Proper working ps/2 support will be fixed.

GMA and X3100 support will be added.

ATI HD Series scrambled screen will be fixed with the ppf.

NVKush failing was not the drivers it was an issue with a postfligh and will also be fixed with the patch release.(work around for now is only use one word names for the hdd)

AMD Support will also be added into the patch.

I have to get some rest.

Ohhh also about the user with newer hardware running into the iobuffers lockup I can fix this but it will have to be in a specialized patch just for this issue.

JaS

So, I installed it on an external HD, and the Installation was like Magic. It installed the x3100 automatically at the beginning, and I only had to choose the Kernel (Stage XNU) at the Customize Screen. System also works great, my Drive was shown up, Sleep/Restart/Shutdown works, x3100 works, System is fast too.

BUT: The Keyboard doesn't work, so I wanted to fix this with my Kexts (They all worked in every Distro). I installed it with KextHelper, Install looks fine, etc., Reboot and....nothing...it gets stuck at this:



Nothing happens after that...I installed the whole system three times...same ever...So can somebody say me what went wrong? Is that here the problem:



When this is the problem, then It's strange, because this only happens if I install the Kexts...Have I to wait for an patch?

Is there a way to alter the order in which things are installed? The optional languages tend to behave badly if they're not installed right after the OS - in some cases, they get installed after the 10.5.4 update.

Don't forget to add Broynia's ATi X1950PRO AGP drivers

Thanks for the hard work.

Hi Jas,
If it's not too late, i would like to suggest you to include the TSC sync XNU kernel, witch fix dual core issue on many "old" dell laptops.
Here the topic's link with prepatched kernels:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117558

Hi,

first of all: thx Jas for your great job!

But i still have a question... how did they get the HD 4850 512 MB workin???

thx for all replies!

I just got the iso, booted it, went through setup fine.
On first boot without the cd I get "boot1: error" and with the cd it eventually gets to a dark gray screen (after the apple boot logo) with just the pointer and it doesn't go any further.
Also of note, under boot option (F8) I only have one option and I'm pretty sure it's the cd drive.
This is all after the installation was "successful."

I have an Asus P5P800 SE (which is a 865pe chipset, ICH5), 3GHz Intel (non-core, prescott i think), 6200 nvidia agp. I'm pretty sure I selected all the correct packages but I can't seem to get anywhere... Any words of advice?

JaS: Can you add the restart and shutdown fixes as a installation option. I have this install working now and this is something that should be there in my opinion.
Also, your installer uses and older version of Chameleon. Maybe this is something that can be added in the update as well.

Still think the documentation could be slight more elaborate but still...GREAT release.

Yeah I know how everyone feels, I've installed it about 50 times today but I've managed to get everything sussed pretty much. Only issue I'm having is after install the system doesn't boot after restart, it gets to a grey screen and I have to take the install disc and reset machine but once it boots up it then shows post-install video etc. Other problems I've got are the NVKush more than one word partition name issue and the PS/2 issue but these are general issues that JaS should have fixed in the patch release =) so overall not too bad.

Can someone give the md5 value?
I got 18287c511299f3403280e9ccaef63254
Is it correct?

I am thinking maybe it needs a network connection, OS X server sets that up on install so maybe that is a bug, not so much a phone home as a network setup routine, I can't get my network working on my MSI P4M900M3

Right at the beginning of installation i get this:

I tried installing the Client version as i don't need the Server features, tried it 3 times with different kernels and various install options and formatted my hard drive 3 times, but i still get this screen. My BIOS settings should be fine because i haven't changed anything since successfully installing Kalyway 10.5.2, Leo4All v3, and the new iDeneb 10.5.4...

Maybe the img could be corrupted? Can anyone suggest any free windows app for verifying the MD5 checksum plz?

Ok, first of all, I assume you've installed the correct kernel etc! If not, I can't help you from here.

Most likely, you'll get a "still waiting for root device" error after a while. I had the same thing, but "fixed" it for now.

1. Boot up the cd, and start up terminal. Don't install anything!!
2. Type "diskutil list" (without the quotes)

Ouput will be something like this:


As you can see, my Leopard partition is /dev/disk1s2. Now reboot, and again boot the cd, but press F8 before it starts. Type "rd=diskXsY" (replace X and Y with your real part. numbers, like my 1 and 2 before. Now it should boot your Leopard installation.

I still can't boot from HDD, only from CD like this, though I've set my partition as active etc. Anyone knows what to do next?

We all have to wait for the ppf-Patches...one for Buxfixing and Updating and the one for Iobuffers lockup...hope they comes soon...

Just an update on the ppf that is being made.

Today JaS is going to be doing the finishing touches on the ppf file and finishing up the testing on it. Than he is going to release his ppf to add AMD support and the other fixes he is going to fix

stand by for a ppf release for this great release by JaS

second partition on a single drive.. hmm that was dumb, i should have noticed that. should be rd=disk0s2 right?

Edit: it worked, my god, it worked. audio and video need to be fixed but i think i can manage that.. ultimate.zephyr, thank you so much, you're a huge help =]
If I ever get up to trying to install osx on this old laptop (ati chipset, doubt it), i know who i'll be pming for support!
Thank you so much again, really.
