[How to] Install X48 DS5

[numberonekiwi]

BEFORE you proceed Read and read again (this is not final yet still need to verify all kernal extensions I used)

 

Please Note this worked for me YMMV see my sig for details

Before you start have a usb(or any other HD) and copy all your patch *.kext files that you need (minimum Apple SMBIOS.kext and dsmos.kext) I will update with a list of what I needed later but YMWV

I will be updating as I go

 

I will be using a flash drive 1GB to copy files to

 

it is name 123

 

 

copy your boot efi files to a folder you can remember on this disk I used /pc_efi_v8

copy (download) all patch file to patch your install to a folder (I used 1050) ex ALCinject Natit etc etc

 

Write a simple script file(this is easy follow my example in textedit) in my case it was

 

rm -rf /volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleEFIRuntime.kext

cp -R * /volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/

kextcache -k /volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions

touch /volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions

 

save file and then rename it to patch1050.sh (confirm yes to changing extension of file name)

 

save this file to your 1050 folder(or what ever you saved your patch kext files to)

 

I first started by using BrazilMac method and creating a shrunk DVD installer

 

As I had a hd2600xt graphics card I had to boot the DVD with -x -v (-v only to see progress but not needed)

As I had a brand new drive I formated it OSx Extended journal GUID and then entered Terminal (from installer) and added EFI bootloader

Then I selected custom install and de-selected all options and installed to my new drive as it was being installed IMPORTANT : go to window option and select installer log (this stops 30 sec count down and allows patching to be done)

When install is finished DO NOT close installer log instead go to Terminal again

 

Type in these commands (in terminal)

 

cd /volumes/123/1050

./patch1050.sh

 

then when completed close terminal and installer log then select restart

 

If you have included all *.kext files you need reboot with -v option only you should get an error about HPET (dont worry this allows 10.5.2 DMG upgrade) and enter all your details that you want (remember (cmd(windows)key + Q will skip certain places - ie your personal details)

 

once 10.5.0 starts normally install 10.5.2 upgrade (open installer log again)

 

when it has finished DO NOT RESTART go to the extensions folder and now remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext file

 

open terminal

 

type

cp -R /volumes/123/1050/* /system/library/extensions/

Kextcache -f /system/library/extensions

touch /system/library/extensions

 

Then type

 

reboot (if system hangs or you get errors manually restart) you should now be booting into 10.5.2 without needing another working partition

 

I am fully aware due to the accuracy needed in Terminal as a Super user TYPO'S can not be accepted it may be a simple / or * error that can wipe out a whole system or entire hard drives so if anyone here can see such examples please yet me know better yet pass it onto an admin who can update it for me -edit my post (im sure they can)
