Successful Kalyway 10.5.2 install on Gigabyte P35-DS3P

[zeek987]

Hey everyone,

I recently had great success installing OSX 10.5.2 on my Hackintosh, with a little bit of effort though. I thought I would share my experience and hopefully help others with similar hardware or problems. My self-built system consists of: Gigabyte P35-DS3P motherboard, Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 GHZ (stock), 2 GB of DDR2 Corsair 800 RAM (2x1GB), Gigabyte NVidia 8600GT (256MB) video card, 1x 320GB Seagate SATA HDD, 1x 300GB Seagate IDE HDD, 2x 500GB Samsung SATA HDD, 1x Lite-on DVD-RW Drive, Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case, a ATI TV Wonder PCI TV tuner that only works in Windows XP (does not work in OSX), D-Link WUA-1340 USB 2.0 Wireless-G Adapter, HP PSC 1510 all-in-one printer, a random assortment of external HDDs/Flash drives, a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 laser mouse, a Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP 24 inch display (via DVI), and a Dell 17 inch digital flat panel secondary display (via second DVI). I also have a Vantec 2.5/3.5 inch IDE/SATA to USB 2.0 adapter for some extra internal drives that aren't in my case. My external drives include a maxtor HDD, 2 Acomdata enclosed drives, and some old maxtor internal HDDs, and an old Pioneer DVD-Rom drive. All my hardware works perfectly in both Windows XP Professional SP3 and Mac OSX 10.5.2, with the ATI TV Wonder being the only hardware that only will work in Windows.

 

My method of installation:

1) I downloaded Kalyway 10.5.2 from the internet bay.

2) I made a backup of all my files on to an external HDD.

3) I inserted my Windows XP Pro CD and rebooted into that setup.

4) I used the setup to erase all partitions on my 320 GB SATA Seagate HDD.

5) I created a 45 GB Partition for Windows XP, then a 105 GB Partition for OSX, and finally a 150 GB (the remaining space) for a DATA partition.

6) I then proceeded to do a fresh install of Windows XP Pro on the first created 45 GB partition.

7) I installed all the programs, software, tools, utilities, shortcuts, and all that I wanted, and I set Windows up exactly as I like it.

8) I cleaned up the system (removing all temporary files, unused software, etc), updated all the installed software, and then restarted.

9) I used Norton Ghost to make an Image of my Windows XP Pro installation and put that on the DATA partition for quick access incase of something going wrong later on.

10) Next, I put in the burned Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD and rebooted into it.

11) I first opened the OSX Disk Utility and selected the 105 GB partition, erased it, and formated it to MAC Journaled.

12) Then I closed the Disk Utility and went to Customize my OSX install.

13) As far as I can remember, I used the 9.2.0 Sleep Kernal, installed all the Networking kext (drivers), none of the wireless kexts, all of the graphics kext (even though I guess I only should have put the one NVidia 256 MB kext, but I didn't notice any problems), none of the language packs, deselected that PCUSB fix thingy (b/c i read it is for older systems and caused problems), and selected the TimeMachine Fix. Everything else I think I left as default.

14) I started the installation and skipped the disk verification. After about 20-30 minutes, the it was done and rebooted automatically.

15) Upon first reboot, the Darwin Boot Loader gave me the option for 5 seconds to select either Windows XP or OSX and defaulted into OSX.

16) I did the initial setup and skipped the Registration by pressing "ALT+Q" and clicked Skip.

17) The system started OSX just fine, and both of my Dell Display Monitors showed the desktop (dual displays working perfectly). The PS/2 mouse and keyboard both worked too.

18) I then plugged in my USB Drive with my OSX files and kexts / drivers and restarted. (the USB Drive did not mount, thus the restart).

19) Upon restart, the USB drive mounted fine. I copied the contents of my USB drive to my desktop and then removed it.

20) I then ran USB FIX package and selected to just install the 9.2.0 system kexts and then rebooted. (This made my system kexts match up and fixed my USB not working properly).

21) After restart, I installed the D-link WUA-1340 package from the D-link support website and then rebooted.

22) After restart, I edited my boot flags to include the " -f " flag. (this cause a froced reload of all kexts and fixed my WUA-1340 WIFI adapter, without -f flag I would need to boot to OSX and then unplug and replug-in the WUA-1340 adapter in order for the D-link driver to see it, and not just say "NO DEVICE!!!".

23) Now I plugged in my WUA-1340 USB 2.0 Wireless- G WIFI adapter and restarted. When I plugged it in, the system preferences networking panel asked to apply changes to a new ethernet connection, I just clicked apply and restarted for good measure. It all works and shows its connected after the restart.

24) Next, I installed the " alc889a " audio kexts by dragging them into the KextHelper window and typing in my password and applying them. I restarted and then my audio no worked!

25) Then, after restart, I setup the Mac OSX the way I like it, installed some widgits on my dashboard, installed Firefox and someother free programs, and restarted.

26) I then turned on and connected my HP PSC 1510 all-in-one usb printer, scanner, copier. I ran Software Update and it found the driver kexts and installed them allowing my printer to work too. I only installed the printer update none of the others at this point. I restarted for good measure.

27) I then ran Software Update again, I installed all updates with the exception of the 10.5.3 update (*as this update breaks my installation of course). I rebooted.

28) Now, I installed all the Mac OSX programs I had: iLife '08, iWork '08, a couple Adobe Programs, some Apple Programs, and a Microsoft Program. All of these installed just fine. Some of the iLife programs required me to update them via Software Update to get them to work properly. Now all of those programs work great! I don't update all of them though as it caused a couple Adobe and Apple Programs not to work if I did. I set all of the programs up what not, then restarted.

29) After rebooting, I connected a 40GB maxtor HDD that was in an Acomdata usb/firewire enclosure. I connected it with firewire. I opened Disk Utility and erased and formated it as Mac Journaled and called it MAC OSX Backup.

30) I then opened time machine and set that drive as the backup device and backup up my system. It worked just fine and was about 15 GB or so.

 

Thats it. That is how I made a fully working OSX and Windows XP dual booting system. When I turn on my computer, I simply let it run to get OSX, or when Darwin Bootloader runs, I simply press the up arrow twice and hit enter to boot into windows xp.

 

Now, I did do a few other very minor things to customize my installs of both OS's.

I did add Chain0 to my windows partition and added the string of code to the Boot.ini as is mentioned in other guides (look for chain0). This causes the windows bootloader to run right after selecting WinXP in darwin bootloader. I have it default to windows after 5 seconds, or I can select to enter back into the darwin boot loader and then select and enter OSX.

Also, I am still searching for the best way to make windows auto update and fix the system clock. The OS's show different times by about 4 hours (windows is always 4 hours ahead, while OSX is correct). This isn't a huge deal though, and my solution so far works most of the time.

 

The only thing I wish I could fix, is to get my ATI TV Wonder PCI tv tuner to work in Mac OSX. I don't think there are any driver kexts out there anywhere for it though, so oh well.

 

 

So there it is, my dual boot for osx and win xp. I will come back and pretty it up some what and try to add links and files that I used in my install.

I will appreciate any tips that anyone may have for me, and I will try to answer any questions anyone may have about my install or how my hardware is setup, etc.

Thank you to the insanelymac.com forum and its members and to Kalyway. Without all of you, I never could have made this work. Thanks!!! I just love making beats in GarageBand and using the silky smooth OSX Leopard OS (its very pretty).

Hey everyone, an update from about my install as stated above,

 

 

Its amazing. It runs perfect in Windows XP and Leopard 10.5.2, as far as I can tell so far.

 

Only problems I have discovered for OSX that I have been to lazy to find a fix for:

1) Wireless always works, but 1 out of 10 boots is a little slow to connect. Opening the system preferences to the wireless setup utility makes it work right away though.

2) Shutdown seems to work only about half the time. Honestly though, I usually restart to XP instead of shutting down the computer from OSX. So this still needs exploring.

---Thats all!!!

 

- Things I still won't to do with OSX:

1) Be able to write to NTFS partitions WITHOUT those silly ".filename" and ".spotlight" or ".trashes" files being written to the NTFS folders that I open from OSX.

2) Fix the 3 problems listed above.

3) Stop the random Firefox system crashes that happen 3 out of 10 times I run firefox for longer than 30 minutes.

 

I am betting there is a fix for everything I listed, but nothing is too big a concern or causing any huge problems right now.

 

My system now with XP and Leopard is simply nice. Thanks everyone. I'd be glad to try to help anyone with a similar build.

 

P.S. - I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but for my Gigabyte P35-DS3P motherboard, I simply loaded the "optimized defaults" and eveything seems to work fine.
