New modified BOOT-132 allows you to boot retail DVDs

[Foodie Monster]

Yes, in theory, it should.

I have another problem though. I do not have a retail Leopard DVD, I have the "Drop in CPU" Leopard Upgrade disk. I have followed the instructions on how to make a .dmg out of that into a retail DVD, but it is 8 GB. Will it be able to install if I put this on a DVD-DL?

 

Chances are that no.

[chown]

Actually, my parents bought an iMac. I was looking through the box, and along with this Leopard upgrade DVD, I found 2 grey discs.

 

Disk 1 says on it:

 

iMac Mac OS X Install Disc 1

Mac OS version 10.4.10

AHT version 3A127

Disc version 1.1

 

 

Disk 2 says:

 

Mac OS X Install Disc 2

Disc version 1.0

 

I have not looked inside these discs, but I will in a moment. But, I am wondering if I can use the 132 Bootloader disc, boot, install OS X 10.4.10 with this one grey disk, and after the install, boot again with the leopard upgrade disk, and install OS X 10.5, then update using Apple Software Update to OS X 10.5.4.

 

I also have a suspicion that this "Mac OS X Install Disc 2" may just be iLife; that is If it does not turn out to be the second half of "Mac OS X Install Disc 1". Alas, I will check these out, but if someone would let me know if I can install with that disk, it would be greatly appreciated, as always.

 

Thanks.

Usually the drop-in discs are tied to that Hardware. For example, the discs that came with my MacBook only work on MacBooks. And likewise, the software that came with your iMac will only work with your iMac.

I do not have an XP or any windows install disk prior to Vista. Where can I find the NTLDR file?

[ComancheClaws]

I've added a script to customize .img file.

 

Explanation:

 

BOOT-DFE-146-BUMBY.ISO need to be on HDD root

 

Create a Kext folder on HDD root and put there all kext if you needed

Original idea by f41qu3 Pringles and Superhai The Super Hero

 

ADVICE: In this .IMG file has dsmos.kext, SMBIOSENabler.kext and CPUDisabler.kext no need put it again on script

 

Download on #1st post ... but I put link here too: http://homepage.mac.com/f41qu3/.Public/CDBoot_RC2.sh

 

Please, send me impressions about script. Need more debug on it.

 

Cheeerz,

 

Where can I download BOOT-DFE-146-BUMBY.ISO? Is that the same thing as the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.ISO on the first post?

 

Thanks

[aylamrin]

And I am so eager to help. Anybody let me know how I could be useful

[TECH_ATTACK]

I have follow Problem.

 

I boot from this "Magic CD" all is ok (i got for one second a message like "boot.plist bla bla not found)

Then i see the promt. So i swap the CD with the retail Leopard. Then i input -v and select as boot device f9. (DVD-ROM) and Retail Leopard DVD is recognized.

But now it is always the same i got the message something liken. apple.booot.plist not found. No matter if i input -v -x -s oder just press enter.

 

Can someone tell me what i did wrong?

I tested Boot-KABYL-BUMBY.iso and gerneric.iso.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

P.S. Sorry fo my bad English.

Just a quick guide to add kexts and make iso from OS X.

 

Download this package

 

Open terminal

 

Make a directory

mkdir newiso

copy following from the package into newiso:

- boot

- initrd.img

- isolinux.bin

- isolinux.cfg

- mboot.c32

 

to edit initrd.img set rw permission

chmod 777 newiso/initrd.img

then you should open it

hdiutil attach newiso/initrd.img

now copy the kext you need into /Volumes/initrd/Extra/Extensions/

cp -R mykext.kext /Volumes/initrd/Extra/Extensions/

I suggest you add dsmos.kext NVkush.kext and if you have alc889 also HDAenabler.kext and if you need kext to boot your root device also

One thing to notice, the kexts need this in the info.plist file:

 

		<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
	<string>Root</string>

or

 

		<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
	<string>Console</string>

or they will not load. To add those properties you can use nano and need to be added at the end of the plist file just before the last lines:

</dict>
</plist>

If you need a bigger image you may resize it with this comman, choose appropriate size

hdiutil resize -size 20MB newiso/initrd.img

when you are finished adding you eject your initrd image

hdiutil detach /Volumes/initrd

now you need to create your iso

hdiutil makehybrid -o new.iso newiso/ -iso -eltorito-boot newiso/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot

and then burn new.iso with your favorite burner (first try with a cd-rw disc so you can redo it later iwthout wasting cdr disc)

 

This guide is not exatcly easy to follow for the "common" osx86 fan lots of things you don´t say here. First you don´t say how we should do to actually manage to copy the boot etc etc in to the newiso. And the newiso well it´s just an example I guess it does´nt have to be called newiso, am I right? Second to copy new kexts well you don´t say how to navigate to their location and if we ca´nt well we just wount be able to copy them in to the newiso. I had to search through noumerous threads and replys to figure out how to navigate to them how to type in that stuff to make it happend and man how easy it would have been if you told us right away. A couple steps still to figure out but please please next time you wanna help out think of us as totally non programmers cause moast of us are.

 

So here goes:

The newiso you created well you have to locate it in finder and open it double klick as usual then you mount the boot 123 image you downloaded to get to the initrd image inside of it so you can mount that one to. Then just copy the boot etc etc from the Extra inside the initrd folder in to your newiso (rightklick copy paste).

 

Then about adding the kexts you want to your new 123 cd/dvd well the easiest way to be able to navigate to the kexts you want to add is to put them in a folder on your desktop. Lets call it kextfolder and to get to it you just type: cp -R /users/Your username/desktop/kextfolder/the name of your kext/Volumes/initrd/Extra/Extensions/.

 

The rest of this well give me a day or so to figure it out and I´ll come back with some info on how to type in that stuff to. Man it´s frustrating that way to many here thinks everybody just love programming and all that computer hightech stuff. I just want to make som film and music with my two q6600 hacks and I don´t have no interest at all in that hightech computer stuff and I´m pretty sure I´m not alone so please when you want to help us out with stuff like this don´t make it harder for us than it has to be.

 

OK over and out take care guys and don´t get me wrong know I really am greatfull but this giude was just a little to much or maby to little

Hi

If its been answeed forgive me for not reading all posts but I was wondering if anyone could help me.Ive tried installing with generic iso and modifying the kexts with the ones i need.After several tries i got past gray apple screen and hanging at blue screen.Now i can load up os but it hangs a the install screen (where you would select your language, but never egts that far) with beach ball spinning for hrs.I can not move the ball its stuck in upr. right corner.Im trying to instal this on my laptop Gateway mx6959.Have used kalyway with vanilla, iatkos, and jas versions with no problems and everything working.If somebody has some hint id appreciate it thanks

I´ve got the GA EP45-DS3 mobo, seems there´s no way to boot without the CD. The strangest thing is I can´t even make a fresh install the ordinary way not even using an IDE drive with Kaly on. Taking an old drive with the OS already on be it the Kaly or the Retail Leo works OK and this method to but only if I keep the CD in the drive. Probably has something to do with the P45 does´nt it? I´ve replaced all the kext with the ones I have on my working "old" Retail install but no luck so far. One of all the nomerous times I´ve reinstalled I got as far as it allmoast loaded all the way, I could even see QE was enabled and then the grey you got to restart your computer sign came. Another thing that is really strange is that I get QE enabled for my GA 7300GS but if I run the updater to 10.5.4 it´s gone?

[starobrno1]

Well once I installed the chameleon (whatever it does kind of hard to find info on what that one actually does) it works without the CD.

 

My homemade NVinject.kext for the GA 7300GS 256 PCIe I borrowed from Mysicus Cs package and modified works to. So I have dual displays and QE enabled and the right order for my displays (DVI VGA). I even got Final Cut working but I had to install Final Cut Express first to make it happend.

 

I´m ordering another Q6600 CPU a couple of minutes from now cause I want to run FC on one hack as a slave to the other to get more computing power.

 

If anyone needs this GA 7300 256 mb PCIe NVinject.kext just PM me or search for my thread about this videocard. Please just remember it might not work if you do not have one of the mobos I`ve tried it on. It works for the GA P35-DS3R and the GA EP45-DS3, it even works for the old Asus P4 P800se with a P4 3Ghz CPU if you have the GNY 6200 256 AGP8X videocard. If you need to change order on your out ports so that display A becomes Display B it´s easy to edit the info.plist for the kext. I´ve got an old thread about that if you search.

 

Tomorrow I´ll try to install my new videocard the GA 9800GT 512mb PCIe and see what happends, I got this one working using the EFI Studio and the string for the Nvivia Geforce 8800 GTS (G92)-512 MB on my old Retail Leo 10.5.4 install and it probably will work on this install to.

may i make a humble suggestion to move everything munky is working with (installing retail leopard to rigs w/ pre-core processors) in a separate topic? and to (re)-label this thread to inform everyone that this topic is for installing retail leopard to rigs w/ "core2up" processors?

 

just a suggestion.

clarification. so you're now on the "select a language" screen?

if you're in this screen already, what you're saying is that you're stuck w/ the spinning beach ball in the upper left corner of your monitor? or is it a mouse cursor already but u just can't move it?

if it's already a mouse cursor & u just can't move it, just remove then plug back in your usb mouse. if you're just using your track pad, u may try using a usb mouse.

 

good luck.

[munky]

guys, it was my intention to move all the pre-Core info to a separate topic as soon as I had some success, I just haven't gotten round to it yet. I will do that today.

got the leopard install from a retail dvd fully working as it's updated to 10.5.4. the problem is, something went wrong w/ my iphoto. it won't magnify a picture that i double-click nor i can see the picture in edit view. the iphoto works just fine when i had my previous retail leopard install using karaakeha1's guide. would anyone know why?

 

another thing. i'm interested in dual-booting it w/ xp. is there a way to install retail leopard in an mbr partition?

 

any advice pls?

[Jingu]

@MACinized

 

That's because when you updated to 10.5.4, you lost QE/CI. You need QE/CI to have iPhoto magnify a picture when you double click.

tnx for your reply Jingu. so how do i get a fix? re-installed chameleon_dfe_for_hard_disk w/ the working nvkush.kext, same problem w/ iphoto. used efistudio, didn't fix too. is there a specific kext or any fix you can point me to?

what are the contents of the initrd in the boot-132 disc that u used?

 

you could try this first (from post#1):

Download .ISO Original with project kexts (all your need is here - noobs try this first): http://www.mediafire.com/?uwd9dtttjfk

I tried the original iso and that would get me to the apple screen and stopped there had no spinning circle on the screen.In the initrd image i made i have

AppleACPIPlatform.kext

Natit.kext IOUSBFamily.kext

 

Theres quite a few in there but untill i get it to load the i can modify it to see what kext i have to have on there

[MACinized]

will u care to try just these kexts?

• ACPIPS2Nub.kext
  
• AppleACPIPlatform.kext
  
• AppleAHCIPort.kext

The injector nvkush that you are using, where do you have it? Do you have it in /System/Library/Extensions or do you have it in the root folder in Extra/Extensions/?

After updates 10.5.3 and 10.5.4, nvkush needs to be in /System/Library/Extensions. It won't work well if you leave it in the root in Extra/Extensions/ folder.
