birla Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi guys..! This must probably be the most discussed topic here but unfortunately I still can't make head or tail of this I have read the sticky's...without understanding them.. (and most need a workin installation of Mac OS). No here's what I have: Asus P5B, Core2Duo, NVIDIA 7800 GTx, and 2 HDD's 160 and 500 GB. I already have WinXP and Ubuntu installed on my system and now I'd like to install Max OS! I have with me MacBook Mac OS X 10.5.2 (.dmg image), pc_EFI_v8.0, Hiren's Boot CD. Now the OS folder also includes a file called PatchedInstallScripts.tar.gz Here are the instructions included with the download: Disc 1 also contains the Boot Camp partition, Disc 2 contains iLife '08 and XCode 3.0. Attached patched installation scripts to bypass hardware model check. For getting the patches applied you need to convert Disc 1 to CD/DVD Master format. Here is a quick guide for patching: Convert "MacBook Mac OS X 10.5.2 9C2028 Install Disc 1.dmg" to CD/DVD master with Disk Utility. In this example i named the new image as "converted-disc1.iso". Then mount the image with hdiutil in Terminal: hdiutil attach path/to/converted-disc1.iso -owners on -readwrite The next step is to overwrite the scripts using the attached PatchedInstallscripts-9C2028.tar.gz. sudo tar -xpzvf path/to/PatchedInstallscripts-9C2028.tar.gz -C "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/" Now you can unmount the edited image and burn it with Disk Utility. Now I still don't know that to do with all these files! Someone please help me!!!

Someone please help me!!! Asus P5B is an Intel 965 board and those are rather difficult. I would suggest you try one of the newer distros like leo4all or Iatkos. But I don't think they all support the SATA controller on the 965 boards, and you may have to patch kexts like I did. Mine is a Dell E520 -- also a 965 -- and here is how I got it to work. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry510839 Tiger was easier to install, and having a working install is very useful in patching Leopard. One easy way -- if you have access to that MacBook and a USB drive -- is to plug the USB drive into the Macbook, use Disk Utility to "restore" the install to that drive, patch that image to support your SATA drive, boot your computer off the USB drive, then use Disk Utility to "restore" the system off the USB drive to your internal drive.

Gujal Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The Procedure you have is for installing Retail Leopard on Pre G5 MACs. Not for Hackintosh. And the guide requires a working Hac or Mac to start with. Your best bet is to get Leo4allv3 as it works perfect on Asus P5B with SATA Drives regardless of AHCI or IDE mode. Everything on P5B works on a default leo4allv3 except line-in and mic-in. The only problem you may face is if you have a IDE DVD Drive on your machine. If that is the case, leo4allv3 DVD cannot boot. You need Zef's Chameleon patch for leo4allv3 and patch the leo4allv3 iso and then burn the patched image. This image works perfect on P5B.

Gujal Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The 10.8GB is not wasted. You do need the retail Disk if you need printer drivers, XCode (gcc4, gcc3.1) and some more stuff which may be missing on leo4allv3 (all distros strip something to fit in a DVD-R) So it is good to have a retail disk handy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112304-resolved-temp-leopard-on-a-xp-based-pc/#findComment-796044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
