Got it downloaded, burned, and installed yesterday. It's pretty solid so far. Were CS3 problems fixed up? I could never start up that suite of programs with BrazilMac's version of Leopard at 10.5.1.

Hey Eddie, I rebooted again, and patched HDAPatcher with ALC662 dump yet again and I believe I have it working for good this time.It could have been an error with my speakers, as when I booted into Windows I had no audio as well.As for everything else, it seemed like the graphics was a minor bug in the installation, but this release is by far the greatest.I apologize for saying it seemed flawed to me, but that was a misunderstanding and please don't think I don't appreciate the work you've done.You are amazing, and if it weren't for you I wouldn't have Leopard on my new machine.You sir are godlike.*Insert HL2 Godlike.mp3* :P

The CS3 Design Premium suite has installed fine for me on every version of Leo4All.

my board is a Asus M2N4-SLIChipset NVIDIA nForce 500 SLI MCP is that chipset compatible??
You should be fine. My board is similar to yours. The best way to find out however is.... to test it out. Good luck.

Try downloading, I think it's called, Adobe Files. It will be a zip file but it fixes the CS3 issues.

Does anyone have a list of trackers that have the file? And also, I'm getting some pretty slow speeds using TPB... 4.0 KB/s down, 40 KB/s up. Anyone out there with a good seed box IP?

is it rebooting right after the extensions load?

 

On the Dimension 4600, reboots after the extensions and right when the bootloader(s) are being loaded. I have tried enabling S1 or S3 in the BIOS settings and it makes no difference.

 

On my ASUS P4B based Desktop whose details are in my signature, it reboots right after the extensions....does not even get to the bootloader.

Try reloading AppleNforceATA.kext from another install, if you have any other hdd's with Leopard, and the repair the permissions and rebuild extensions.mkext that did it for me and now everything works fine.This is an easy fix if you have another hdd with zephyroth, or kalyway boot into it get the AppleNforceATA.kext from the extensions folder. Now copy it into the extensions folder of Eddie's leopard. Go into Disk utility repair the permissions for Eddie's Leopard. Now restart and change your hdd setup so that you boot into Eddie's Leopard. At bootup press F8 or F10 (whatever it is) so now you need to rebuild the extensions.mkext folder by pressing -f. Now you should be able to get to the welcome screen.

 

Is it possible to have a working install without the "applenforce.kext" ???? I've done a search in my extensions folder and don't find it... Not surprising since I installed kalyway without that specific kext because i noticed that i would always get the "waiting for root" error...but following your logic and my past install history...

what if I make a new .DMG from the DVD remove applenforce.kext, fix permissions on new .dmg, reburn and try again with -f......?????????????????

let me know.......

I am getting the "Still waiting for root device" upon first boot after the OS installs

 

I have tried using the old Nforce kext chipset driver with no success.

I am installing on a spare IDE HDD which is the active partition, as my SATA HDD is disabled

 

my system specs are listed below. (im have an AMD CPU btw)

 

I have not had this problem with Kalyway 10.5.2 or Leo4allV2

 

thanks for your help

go to osx.kbot.de and Look at the Eddiec11'sv3 post. Some users have posted an alternate way to fix that problem. Maybe that will fix the problem for you

Sorry I wrote this late last night. If you don't have that kext in the extensions folder then I am assuming that is not what is causing "waiting for root device" You could possibly try that, I am not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot. What are your computer specs?Also you can try my suggestion to selfdestruct.
I've got the download finished OK. 36 .rar files from V3-Final.part01.RAR to V3-Final.part36.RARI've double-clicked on the .R01 file but stuffit required the .R00.Any Idea to fix that ?Thanks
If you are using Windows try using Rarzilla- it's free.If you are using Mac try using unRarX- it's also free.

I have added a ppf that adds the other nforce as an option during install if you want it Download here just apply to the original ISO.

@niffer022 where do you see NO Write for rdisk1s2 in disk utility?

Thanks!, problem solved.now i just need to get my ethernet fixed.The OS does find my card and correct MAC, but it says "this device is known not to work" and i get the cable unplugged error.Ive tried many nforce kexts posted here with no success.
I have never been able to get nforce ethernet to work. Do you have any ethernet Adapters? Btw how were you able to fix the root problem? (just curious)

i noticed something after its loading the extentions and well im guessing loading into the frst bootup of leopard. then i read somewere that if i typed in /sbin/fsck "blaa blaa lost paper with it written on doh " i could make sure it was a active boot, but thats when i noticed the NO WRITE.

 

After iv installed leopard and it asks to reboot, is there another section to the install that im missing, could this no write be causing this...

 

iv been at it now for 3 solid days, and now lack of sleep and a short fuse is starting to get noticed at home and work.. think im gonna go out and buy a mini mac lol

I always see the failed to mount diskxsx for my NTFS drives, and skipping kernel link generation because disk is read only on the installer. This is normal. If you are getting stuck its likely from something else.

 

 

ah ok well that one less thing to worry about... iv tried alsorts. iv removed everything from the pc's slots only leaving in the monitor cable, iv disabled ethernet. tried via sata, which my xp partiton is on, tried a IDE hdd on it own. nothing. Maybe just maybe it dont wonna run on my system...

 

Might have to retire as its pissing me off... lol

Do me a favor post your chipest/processor/video card. Then boot with this bootflag(F8)

debug=0x00000102 io=0x00200004

 

It will post alot of information about each kext that is loaded. Usually the last one you see when it gets

stuck is the cause. Just post the last couple of lines when it freezes.
