Arrey yaar, why put so much head into this? Can't you make out that bigdaddy's new friend and Public Relations Officer is "he" himself in a new incarnation.

I assure you that I am NOT bigdaddy. I'm just saying that he's been a big help. That's all. I just don't see the point in dragging out this conversation any more. If you want to slam bigdaddy, send him pm's. Leave this topic for those who will use it for what its intended purpose is. I don't want anyone to leave this forum, I'm just tired of having to filter past all the bickering just to get what I came to the topic for. If you want to attack bigdaddy, by all means, I'm not hear to stop you. I'm just asking that you respect the intention of the topic and leave it at that. I've said my peice about bigdaddy, he helped me when I needed it. For some reason his helping me was a bad thing, and now it leaves me up for ridicule? That's just retarded.

I never knew you can masturbate like that. Why, do you masturbate like that? And who do you think about while you do so? Your soul-mate bigdaddy, right? My roommate during hostel days developed a "handsfree" technique of doing so, because he did not know what are cell phone headsets. (Even if he knew, I doubt he would have spent on one, being the miser he was ). However, if you still choose to think that he was indeed masturbating I can assure you that he was *not* thinking about your friend messiah while he was doing so (lest you feel jealous).

I just wonder how one can get a faithful friend as you these days, bigdaddy is lucky indeed . Talking about the topic, never seen a bigger farce than this. You can't really beat the brains out of people on the Web, so we are cooling our heads like this. You do your part and we'll do ours, please don't preach... and if you think that you have been ridiculed, I'm sorry for that, pleading to you, please do not disgrace yourself any further.

OK. For anyone interested in mounting your XP/Vista NTFS partitions with stable and reliable read/write, download this:

Visit My Website

You will have to also download MacFUSE, but there's a link to it in the installation instructions included in this package. It works great!

Also, DO NOT install the Paragon commercial solution to mounting NTFS to your hackintosh. It's fine for read/write of files, but if you're like me and want to be able to play your library of videos and music, the Paragon NTFS package sucks! Your videos will read too fast and a 3 hr movie will spin by in less than a minute; not to mention that the sound and quality of the video is all messed up. Give it a try, let me know if it works for you.

no such problem here with Paragon NTFS. just tried to play a movie from vista partition(GUID) in quicktime and the speed was ok. what about VLC?

@frantisheq:

I have used the file your posted to create my own apple.boot file with Strings.
Everything works great for sound and video.
I have yet tested for Time Machine.
So my question is the following: do your file is linked to our configuration (I mean do you choose a specific value linked to the hard drive on which you connect Tim Machine) ?

Thx

no not to the hard drive time machine depends on the network card device path

Thanks a lot

EDIT: status update : hackint0shifying my acer 3692wlmi laptop almost done
EDIT: finished

Has anyone been able to get working surround sound out of their stac9227 sigmatel hd audio card yet?

All I'm getting is left, right and rear mic. It would be fricken awesome to get rear and center working also. I tried to use my own dump from both Ubuntu and OPENSuSE. I had full surround working in both before dumping to a text file in each Linux OS, but after applying tauruga's patch in Leopard, still nothing different than using the STAC9227_83847618.txt dump.

Hello,

Any feedback concerning the new Kaly release?
Settings, performances, etc.

Thanks in advance

Well I've just downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.2 release.

Good news:
- Sound works finially (but have to apply the patch every time I boot otherwise, no sound...)
- Option to not have any 'crapware'
- No modified 'About This Mac' screen
- My Wireless Driver works (finially)

Bad News:
- Every once in a while, it will take forever to load an app, and this isn't normal for a 2.4 GHz Quad Core. This happens when I'm watching WMV video (haven't tried any other codecs (using Flip4Mac on my other install worked without a hitch, but this one skips and freezes)). If you leave the system for a while and try to load System Preferences, then it will take a few seconds. Video performance seems to be a little slower too (barely noticible, but I'm using Natit on a 7600 GS on both installs (May be reason for video lag?)).

Kalyway 10.5.2 works great.
Only the shutdown issue makes me crazy ....
I use Vanilla 9.2.2 with no native shutdown.
Any idea?

Thx

I just use Restart and press the power button at BIOS, its easier than messing with kexts just to get shutdown working when all you need to do is press power.

Well guys, I'm back, long time no see.
Some people's quotes aren't linking properly, it seems mods deleted a flame war (?)
I got internet working, but not on 82566... I came to the realization that my modem supported USB internet, and went and downloaded necessary drivers... =D
So! it's great to be back to the OS X community. (with internet working)

heeey good to see you againg. where have you been? oh and we've made some clean up here not the mods.
today i finally received mighty mouse and i like it just have to get used to it but i like it and Canary Wireless Hotspotter but that has nothing to do with osx86

Hi All, I'm surprised I missed this thread all this time. I'm very new to the Mac world and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I have a Dell 9200 (aka XPS410). I have installed Kalyway 10.5.2 on 2nd Drive Maxtor 500GB, 2nd partition (100GB). 1st partition is NTFS 400GB. Any way, After the installation, I had three issues,
1) My Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter or the Intel 82566DC NIC doesn't work,
2) the Audio didn't work
3) My Nvidia 7900GS card was not really recognised

for 2) I found -> THIS SITE that has a whole bunch of Audio drivers/patchers listed by by Computer brand and the Dell XPS was the compatible for my Dell 9200 which in affect is a XPS 410.

For 3) I found NVidia Driver installer at -> THIS SITE which detected my nVidia 7900GS walked me thru a wizard to load the driver.

Now both the Sound and Graphics card are working great.

Now to either get the "Linksys Wireless-G PCI adapter" or the built-in "Integrated Intel 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection" working. I connected to the built-in NIC and using Terminal utility I'm able to ping to my router but when I go to the network settings it does not let me turn on/activate the NIC. I tried to choose the DHCP setting and save but it never gets saved. As for the Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter it just isn't even recognised. By just reading the sigs of people here I understand that there is not a way to get the Intel built-in NIC working, but has anyone been able to get the Linksys Wireless-G PCI adapter working? I don't know the chipset on the wireless card but will try to find out.

TIA

currently 82566 ISNT working, however, wireless-g MIGHT work, I don't have one, I don't know...
frantisheq: after the 82566 issues i just left. The topic really sucked after the flame war started. Nice to see you again!

i agree. that's why we cleaned up.

ok guys i know that you're going to say "PRESS TEH ****ing SEARCH BUTTON"
but i don't know which new distribution works for XPS 410... so have any of you reinstalled or are you all using your own original 9a581 DVD, then had added EFI, and 10.5.1, and 10.5.2 by updating?

that's my case no need to try anything else

The Kalyway 10.5.2 installed like a dream for me, too. no issues and it installed fast.

Ive noticed this sound issue too. For some reason the sound doesn't work after a reboot, BUT the device still shows up and appears to be there. It also has the little volume control widget on the menu bar. just no workie.

Aside from not rebooting does anyone have any idea what to do about this ?

I erased the aclinject kext and reinstalled sound and it works for me no rebooting

successfully updated to 10.5.3
Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

How did you do it?

i just followed this guide and then reinstalled my applehda, appleahciport, appleviaata, ioahcifamily kexts and latest applesmbios.kext from macdotnub. reboot, F8, -f -v and voila. my SATA is in AHCI/RAID mode in BIOS, not sure it will work in IDE mode

Also, but running in RAID mode


SticMAN

Just FYI....

Since I installed Kalyway originally, and then Kalyway 10.5.2 update, I found this Kalyway update for 10.5.3:

http://www.infinitemac.com/kalyway-hackint...3-combo-update/

Hi,

Just updated to 10.5.3 thanks to Kalyway Combo Update, I still have issues with the shutdown....
Any better success for you?
@ frantisheq, SticMAN: any idea?

See U

no change here

PS: i just tried to update my original vista from dell with SP1 but after one hour all i got was Service pack did not install. Reverting changes and after reboot Windows not genuine message in lower right corner no such problems with OS X 10.5.3 update

Hey everyone...Thanks for all of the info in this forum. It's been pretty fun reading through 34 pages of stuff, but it's helped a lot. I have Kalyway's 10.5.2 disk running on my 410. I tried the 10.5.3 update last night, but I lost all of my SATA drives that I could see in 10.5.2, so I erased and reinstalled.

Only problems I've encounters (other than the Intel NIC):
--My EasyBCD bootloader works fine, but if I restart the 410, I get the "chain loading error". If I shut down, then power back up, I can boot without issue.
--I am REALLY confused on how to install drivers or "kexts". I was able to get a Belkin USB to Ethernet adapter running, but I am totally lost when trying to install my SigmaTel onboard sound or stuff for my nVidia 7300LE. I could really use a n00b guide

My daughter thinks it's great that I have a "Mac" in the house, since that's all she uses in school. My brother, the professional graphic artist, is angry that I have a better "Mac" than his G4, and my OS X is a newer version as well.

Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble. If I can get some tutoring on how to deal with the "kexts", I'd really appreciate it.

can't help you with EasyBCD but installing kexts is pretty easy once you get used to it
get the kexts open Terminal and

sudo -s
copy kexts to /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

reboot and hold F8
enter -f -v at the boot prompt to rebuild kext cache and if your kexts are ok everything should work

For The Kext the Easiest way to do it is to use "kext helper" google it for a download link. all you do is drag your kext into kext helper and type your root password and press enter and its done.

Again, thanks for all the help. I've been able to get the video running properly and the onboard sound seems to be working fine. I don't get a startup sound that I can hear, but the other ones are fine. Probably go looking for Kext Helper Tuesday. If the Red Wings would just score a goal, my day would be perfect.

Hi,

Way to solve shutdwon bug: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76404

See U

thx but i'm not sure i want to turn off one core just to be able to shutdown and i remember once i tried this tool all i got was GSOD and i couldn't get that icon from menubar

teh news from me: the usb cable modem IS RECOGNIZED in the device list, but won't work.

What is the easiest way to update my Dell XPS 410 Kaly 10.5.1 system to 10.5.3?

Thanks,
Brandon

Sorry brandon i don't know
An update on the internet situation: Added 0x 07B2 5101 to the dev/prod id lists in plist of AppleUSBCDC.kext. Problem is, the data management driver, AppleUSBCDCACMData.kext...
it has drivers/devices i never heard of. like 0x 8888 2822 and 0x 8888 2B22 and 4902. Apparently, 8888 is motorola, dunno about the prod id's.
All i have to do is enter a frickin matching product id, and i can't do it
=(
I have a 5101 not a 5100, which would work >:(

ok frantisheq, here's what happened: one day i just started up os x and internet stopped working. I think it was because I updated to 10.5.2.
So now since I need internet working again, and since you have 10.5.3, would you please look in your extensions folder:
/system/library/extensions/iousbfamily.kext/contents/plugins/appleusbcdc.kext/contents/info.plist
and see if the motorola 5101 modems there:

It's NOT going to get your NIC working!!


StiCMAN

SticMAN Go {censored} Your Brother.

Has anyone successfully installed the 10.5.3 update?

Yip! remember to backup your AppleSMBIOS, AppleHDA, AppleACPIPlatform, AppleAHCIPort, Audio and Video kexts!
You can also do the 10.5.4 beta without a problem!
I think doing it with Kalyway's update it the safest!

SticMAN
ps Still no fix for the NIC as you can see from the above post!
@ BigROB, your mom says "Hi!"

Can I use Kaly's update to go from 10.5.1 directly to 10.5.3??

Thanks,
Brandon

Bradon Yes You Can

SticMAN My Mom said that was the quickest 45 seconds of her life.

Hey Guys I made a developers preview for 10.6 "Snow Leopard" for osx86. I am starting to upload it to the green demon. you will need to use the hda patcher again as well as your video drivers. Just Search Snow leopard by Rob G. I will start seeding it tonight so june 22 would be your best bet. Please Seed. if you need an invite to demonoid PM me i am willing to trade for Blackcat games or Broken Stones

Hi guys, i've got a problem and could really use some help.

I've just downloaded kalyway 10.5.2 and it installs fine. But when I try the kalyway 10.5.3 update and follow the instruction from:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=108216

I can't get past sudo -s

Every time I type this command i get 'try again' when I try to type in my password. I have tried reinstalling 2-3 times and still the same problem. - it just won't take my password.

- also, if I try to access system preferences after trying this, the computer freezes.

If I ignore this and reboot with 'update -v' I get 'waiting for root device'.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

- BTW I have a Dell Dimension 9200, 4GB RAM, Q6600 (QUAD CORE).

- I also have leo4all v3 which I have patched from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3, but I can't even get into the installer with this disk - just get stuck on 'waiting for for device' error..
