maybe you should make your own DVD. iAtkos didn't work for me too, haven't tried final kalyway only 9a527 that just worked but i've made my own full DL-DVD using BrazilMac scripts as guide and no problems

What happens after you install? I prolly missed that in your previous posts...
Have you tried searching around these forums? I found most of my answers by searching around the forums.
Hopefully someone around here will be able to help, cause I'm a total newb whose Kalyway install worked pretty flawlessly...

When I tried BrazilMac, it gave me "waiting for root device" error... I might download both iAtkos Leopard 10.5.2 or Kalaway to see if that makes a difference.

I don't get why people have problems with iATKOS, it's the only install disc that has worked perfectly for me.
Has anyone installed 10.5.2 on their 410/9200 yet?
Then I'll try Kalaway once they make a 10.5.2 release.
Anyone know how to get working network card Intel 82566 ???

Any good news regarding the driver?
Of course, hes not going to give it to us because apparently in his view we were "rude"

czpcgk say what you want but i am doing it for free and i dont have to give it anyone at all. Dont even talk {censored} you cant even get your sound working. Find your driver some place else. According to other post in this forum some one else is making a driver as well. Atleast here you know its being worked on but you people Cry so much that it makes me not even want to release it, some times things work on one computer but not on another of the same kind look at all the tutorials on how to install os x on a pc there is always people that it doesnt work for.
This is unbelievable, how the hell can you be in this community and say {censored} like this? Every time I make a discovery, or write something new, or find a way to make things work, I want nothing more than to share it with the rest of the hackintosh community. People who spew sh 1 7 like you tend to be full of hot air and have nothing to contribute, in past experience. If you do have something, you're just being ridiculously rude.

I am doing my best but i hear sticman is making one. Dont call me full of hot air and dont say i have nothing to contribute i have been working very hard on this driver and got nothing but crap from it the all treated me like crap except for a few and i even help a couple others with there installs.
No offense but basically its only 2 or 3 main people that have given you a hard time.
Lets be honest, you aren't an experienced programmer, let alone a I/O driver programmer (you admitted as much) and knowing that they doubt you will make a working driver other than possibly hacking some other drivers and getting sporadic results. Although they may have been harsh/rude, they are entitled to their opinions.
Whether you want to share your work with others is up to you, but obviously you are going to alienate people when you make a post proclaiming that you are only giving the driver to some people. Tips for new programmers releasing to the public: don't make release dates until coding is done, and don't worry/engage in personal battles with strangers!
P.S. Did you ever read the "Writing an I/O Kit tutorial" I sent you early on?

I couldnt get it to work either....weird...
Well I, for one don't believe in Mr. Bigdaddyrob2g because of the whole series of unfortunate events that has been happening to them and they're now mysteriously gone! It started with the power surge, the christmas leave, the car accident, the comcast idiots, and then the kext copy from SmallTree's 82598 drivers. I don't believe that all this could have really happened. And if you're checking this forum so much and have time to talk back this crap, then you obviously aren't working on anything worth trying. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And I can't get my sound working cause it's a real pain in the ass! I've followed everyone's instructions (AppleHDA patcher 1.16 and the dump (it worked for like two or three weeks and then stopped working), I know. I've even tried my own Knoppix dump) and reinstalled leopard countless times, and STILL my sound works sporatically. Something must be wrong with it...
Oh, and also what outZider said.

czpcgk have you tried to ask for help with sound on IRC? #leopard on irc.osx86.hu - sometimes taruga appears there
I've installed iAktos 10,5,1 DVD... with 10,5,2 update and it works fine on my XPS 420 Quad except for NIC and HD sound. Sometimes, immediately after Taruga patch, sound work but after reboot it allways fails. I can't see any log, permissions/owners are OK, kext cache is rebuild too... Has anyone any idea ?
For NIC I've installed my old Belkin FDS 7000 v3 (Ralink drivers) and use it waiting for a driver for my onboard Intel 82566...

Sounds like you have the same problem I have that I mentioned to you before. Have you gone back and tried my workaround again maybe trying different HDApatcher versions until you find the key?
Here it is how I get sound on my XPS 420 Dellintosh
* Sound procedure for "working" sound on XPS 420
* Step A ( step A from my brain memory :-))
* delete System/Library/Extensions/ALCinject.kext and /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
* reboot
* patch using Headrush69 patch.txt and AppleHDAPatcher 1.3
* archive /System/Library/Extensions/ALCinject.kext and /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext ( don't forget to preserve permission, I use rsync)
* Step B
* reboot
* restore archived (at step A) ALCinject.kext and AppleHDA.kext
* patch using Headrush69 patch.txt and AppleHDAPatcher 2.0
* "load" sound by checking "System Preference"
* delete ALCinject.kext and AppleHDA.kext: important: these one should not be there at systeme startup
* repeat Step B at each boot, and I have working sound each time.
hope it help.
(if you get better, please tell me :-) )

if you'll try IRC then use Colloquy. You need to turn on AHCI/RAID mode in BIOS to boot faster without that infamous pause and that means you'll need to get Mac OS working in AHCI mode. you can try kexts i'm using - ICH8-R AHCI
ok and this where you'll get gfxutil and pciutil http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/board,2.0.html and a HOWTO maybe you'll need to register.

I get his patch from this site, probably this thread.
By "archive" I mean: put it in a safe place you'll never delete nor modify
I preserve permission by using right option with rsync (--verbose --recursive --links --hard-links --perms --owner --group --devices --times --sparse --partial --stats --progress --extended-attributes).
I am sure there are not loaded at startup because the file does not exist at that time.
Sorry I can't remember exactly the "step A"

I remember I used the files from STAC9227, placed them in system/library/extensions/ then I deleted Azalia audio file, then I did the chmod and chown in the console, rebooted, without going to disk utility to repair permission and my sound worked each time I booted into Leopard without any modifying each time.

can you tell us EXACLY what you did?
I will try, its been a while since I played around with leopard since the internet didnt work and then I had no use for it to use it on my main xps 410 since all I do is surf the web and use it for school sometimes. I used the zip file with the stac9227, not the testing one. I will try and find it on my flash drive and maybe upload it if I can.
I went to System/Library? I think and there is a file there called Azalia Audio, I believe it is a kext. It should be alone in the System folder if not, then in the Library folder. I deleted that, I think there may be 2 of them, one in system or library and another in the extension area.
Then in the extensions folder I copied and pasted the two files from the stac9227.zip archive. I said yes and replaced them; I then went into the console and did this:
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
Do the same thing for the other file, I know there are 2 of them, but I forget the name from the top of my head. I think you have to do chmod before chown, I'm sorry Im not really sure as it has been while since I last messed with it. Then just restart your system and boot back up into leopard and go to sound settings and you should see that it works.

AppleHDA.kext and ALCinject.kext
I'll see if I can get a network card from Fry's then I'll try this.
Another thing to try for internet is if your cable modem has a usb port, connect it to the computer with the usb cable. You will easily be able to use the internet if osx picks it up. Although, it may always cut out sometimes and you will often have to replug it in a few times. It worked fine for about a month before I had to keep replugging it in every time I used the net on OSX. Oh and ebay has some cheap network cards you can get if you want to replace it or add it to your system for working with leopard.
Too bad Verizon FiOs has no USB connection.

Many thanks for your answer... But I still need help... I should have missed something. I've created an hex file base on the attached plist (with gfxutil) and put the result in a key named "device-properties" in com.apple.Boot.plist, reboot, F8, -f -v but still can't hear any sound... Have you any idea of what's going wrong ? I have an iAtkos v1.0 EFI MBR updated to 10.5.2 using Kalyway, Graphics update and finallly Kalyway Vanilla kernel.

Nope, not even after all this drama...
Also, do any of you guys know where to get a Netgear FA310TX driver for Leopard? I found that card just lying around and I thought I might be able to use it.
Also Frantisheq, could you explain DOWN TO EVERY LAST DETAIL how to add audio device path to EFI string. I downloaded gfxutil and lspci and I have no idea on how to use them...
@ Unpi: Can you tell me the EXACT terminal command YOU use to preserve permissions?

May be I missed something ?The only way to have sound is unpi method very usefull...

You skipped a step....
Also, when I try to convert it to hex, i get a "invalid property list xml inputfile 'input.plist'!" even though I know everything is correct according to the howto a page back. I got the strings from IORegistryExplorer.
Here's my command: "./gfxutil -i xml -o hex input.plist out.hex"
Here's my input.plist:

input.plist is in the same directory as gfxutil. how do I make this work??
EDIT:
I copied your AppleSMBIOS.kext or whatever in my extensions folder, DID NOT REPAIR PERMISSIONS, and I get the Apple sign with the cross mark when I try to boot into leopard. Funny thing is that leopard actually boots up! It says invalid install of the kext or something of the lines of that. Good thing I made a backup of the original SMBIOS kext. But was it because I didn't repair permissions that caused this? What is the ideal way to repair permissions (I use disk utility, is this correct?)?
I added your EFI plist to mine, and did the whole process, and no dice.

i'm using these commands to repair permissions of all kexts:
sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*
and i tried to convert your plist and it worked. gfxutil gave me this

I'm so glad I had some time off!Firstly, I did not CLAIM to write a driver! My post said I had a driver that gave me a specific error which was the same as another persons to which we could work in unison to try and solve. your claim that somtimes things work on some computers and not on others of the same kind, is CRAP!! Dell prides itself on building uniform PCs and uses standard equipment on each model, Wake UP MAN!ANDI DID NOT GET ONTO THIS FORUM AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A "BLINKING LIGHT" FROM MY NIC, AND PROCLAIMED TO THE WHOLE WORLD THAT I AM THE WORLDS BIGGEST AND BEST PROGRAMMER AND ALL PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED!If you spent as much time researching and programming that what you do whining(and here goes my chance of ever getting the driver) and spent the time thinking up dumb excuses, you would have had more friends and most probably had this issue SOLVED!As for ONLY giving it to my "friend" mrjoe, My dear man on what planet do you live?! Do you now really think it will only stay on 2 PC's? The only way this will happen is if your sorry attempt for a driver and your iMAC account die a silent death!NOW: Don't claim things you can't substantiate, don't attack people personally, don't spoil it for other people and most important of all.....DON'T PICK YOUR NOSE! 
SticMAN(i've said my say, has anybody got a driver i can test?)
I'm sorry, but it's obvious that when it comes to the world of hardware, you don't know jack.I've had multiple PC's using the same hardware pass every single hardware test and yet have differing issues with multiple pieces of software even though they were using the same image off the same disk.I have an XPS 410 that for some reason will not install any build of Leopard and yet you all have managed to do it. So I call bull on your theory that the "same" PC cannot have differing issues. SticMAN(i've said my say, has anybody got a driver i can test?)QUOTE(phunkysai @ Feb 13 2008, 05:20 AM)
What happens after you install? I prolly missed that in your previous posts...Have you tried searching around these forums? I found most of my answers by searching around the forums.Hopefully someone around here will be able to help, cause I'm a total newb whose Kalyway install worked pretty flawlessly...
Depending on which version I use I get different results.Either I get a b0 error, if it's any of the 10.4 builds (yup I tried those too again and they used to work on this machine) or if it's 10.5 I get merely a blank screen that goes nowhere, unless I insert a disc.When I have the disc in and let it continue the boot all I get is a restart prompt in 4 languages.I've tried using the different EFI versions just in case, I've also tried different kernel options.In all I think I've been through about 20 different variants per disc and still no luck 
It's probably the variances in what you install on your PC. If you get two XPS 410's and install Leopard, it will work the same. Also, your version of Leopard that you downloaded is probably different from ours, and that starts my question.
1. What OSX86 distribution did you download?
My first download was BrazilMac, but it gave me "waiting for root device" errors. Then I downloaded iAtkos 1.0i and it worked.
Also, what's wierd is that within time, some components stop to work SOMETIMES. My sound worked for about a month until it mysteriously stopped working recently and I have no Internet on my Mac (my cell phone was taken up at school (haha) and that was the only way I could get Internet with it through its dial-up (because I have no working NIC or wireless with Leopard), which is why I'm on my XP install posting this).
Once I reboot, I'll try your kext, Frantisheq. I have it all ready and prepped for install, just need to finish this project in Word '07.

I've tried (for 10.5) iAtkos 1.0ir2, and Kalyway 10.5.1
Neither one of them have worked for me.
I don't believe it's a setting that I have setup wrong either as I've went through my BIOS and tried it with settings for Virtualization, Speedstep, Multi-Core, RAID, etc all turned on or off in various combinations.
I've also tried the software install from that point in various combinations.
That's why I've been trying to see if I could get someone with an XPS410 that used one of those distros to write a short guide step-by-step setting by setting in order to get a repeatable working install.

I've tested it with still no success.
I tried to make a GFX string for my ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT and get rid of Natit but it did not work anymore : I got a scramble screen and have to reboot with safe mode.
Sorry for my next stupid question... I remember that my "bless" command did not work when I installed dual boot (dd, startupfiletoo and bless). In fact, I have 4 partitions on my 320G disk and my Vista one is the active, I use Vista boot loader to start Leo. Does it matters with my actual sound (ACLinject and EFI) problem ?
