New modified BOOT-132 allows you to boot retail DVDs

[Cupid]

Hi, everybody.

Thanks for a hard work. The retail DVD is working using your boot 132 but there is one problem, the PS2 doesn't work during setup and I don't have USB keyboard!! In the Initrd.img there are ApplePS2Controller.kext and ACPIPS2Nub.kext but my keyboard and mouse is not working. I have formatted my kalyway install so I don't have idea how to change the kext!!! Please help me, I just want only PS2 port, the one problem...

 

Thanks and sorry for my language...

I installed the retail leopard on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. I encountered the "transfer info from another mac" problem. I solved it by installing iatkos on a separate partition and transferring info from there. At this point everything is working properly except ETHERNET!

Can someone plz lead to me to a kext, or some type of patch to fix it?

 

Thanks in advance

I have an Intel 82562v-2 network chipset. and if needed I will get a new network card. If so, which card is recommended to work. I heard that any with the Broadcom 440x chipset will work perfectly...

Hi there! Excelent work everyone!

 

I have a problem with boot-132.

Ik have the leopard install dvd(copy of a original(10.5.4) and burnt the generic.iso to a dvd.(didn't had a cd:)

 

I get the following message, and cannot find anything about this problem.

 

Leopard kalwai is working fine!

 

I made 3 screenfotos of it!

 

 

 

I have an sony vaio fz31m.

Core 2 duo/2gb/8400m

 

Tyall!

 

This is similar to the problem I'm having. If anyone knows how to resolve it, I'd be very grateful. Here's my screenshot:

If I have a good working install Hackintosh, should I even bother to try this? It is worth it? What's the different with installing it with Retail DVD Leo and Hackintosh Leopard?

"Should I even bother?" - "Is it worth it?" Those are questions only you can answer.

 

The reason this and other similar methods exist is so that people who wish to use the retail dvd can do so. You might wish to do that because it provides income for Apple, because you don't like downloading large distributions other people have made, because you wish to make your system as near vanilla as possible, all or none of the above.

This is soooooo cool!! I tried it and it worked like a real mac.

 

1) I grabbed one of my old IDE 40gb hdds from my old pc

2)plugged it in my p35-ds3l

3) removed all of my SATA hdds (just to be safe)

4) turned on pc (AHCI mode) > booted with BOOT-132 > swapped my retail DVD > booted like a charm

5) formatted my IDE hdd to GUID > installed Leopard Retail > Rebooted

6) Inserted the BOOT-132 CD again > typed 80 > and it booted like charm without modifying anything

 

Hi there!

 

can any one help please for creating a 132 boot cd. i dont understand do i only need to brun BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.iso into cd, but its only like 10mb, what about the other files like:

 

Superhai Method to edit image, HMBT Auto-Patch for edit image, Chameleon for Hard Disk and Patched 'boot' file supporting JMicron, Boot.plist and device-properties strings.

 

How do apply these files. i have my orignal untouched Mac OS X Leopard. please will be every great full if one of you could write a detailed "how to" guide thank you. thank you

 

lap spec:

Dell studio 1535 core 2 due T5750 2.00Ghz

2GB DDR2 333Mhz

chipset: intel gm965

Graphic: ATI Radeon HD3400 256mb

wirless: dell 1397 mini-card

please help.

 

P.s

 

Does the HDD have to be GUID or ut can be MRB

Retail Leopard is better, straight from Cupertino. As many geniuses as you'll find here, they aren't Apple, and they've done incredible work without many resources. Why not take advantage of the resources and geniuses in Cupertino?

 

Installing from the Retail DVD has been the Holy Grail of Hackintosh, because it's a more elegant hack.

 

And like BladeRunner says, it supports Apple, it's more clearly legal, and updates won't break your system in the foreseeable future. (Apple may one day flip the switch on Hackintosh users, but they haven't given any indication yet that this will happen.) Ask yourself, what would Woz do?

"Image checksum error, sorry..."

 

I was getting this with every attempt to use various ISO kits, with a number of downloaded ISOs that I burned, and with any modifications I made to the eventually successful ISO I found, which was one created for a Dell MINI, which at least booted. But I wanted to install my own set of kexts (for my Intel Bad Axe 2). I hacked for hours, downloaded and compiled mkisofs and tried that. (I think it may be because I'm already running 10.5.6 or something - I'm just getting ready for Snow Leopard, there's nothing wrong with my present install). Anyway, I finally gave up trying to make an ISO in OS X. I downloaded MagicISO to my VMWare Fusion install, copied over the files created from one of the kits, and built the ISO under Windows. All you have to do is select the isolinux.bin file as the boot image. I copied the resulting ISO back to the OS X side an burned it with Toast (8). Bingo.

Hi,

 

I have an own boot-partition for my existing Linux-installation. I boot Linux (and also Windows) through Grub. Is it possible to edit the menu.lst to also boot Mac OSX?

 

title Mac OSX

root (hd0,2) # my boot-partition

kernel /macosx/boot # all the boot-132 filesare in /macosx

 

I instinctively tried that, but it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how I can manage that?

I have installed this on a HP/Compaq Pentium D desktop. Everything is working fine. Now I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X60 that I'd like to try this on. With the boot CD I get the following:

 

System config file '/com.apple.boot. S/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found

 

Can I get some help with this or is this particular model not supported?

 

If you need particular specs, please let me know or if you've an .iso that works......help!!!!!

[nobullone]

Forget the last posting. I finally found an ISO that was for the T60 and everything works just fine. Updates and all. As much as I searched these forums it was under my nose.

can you explain more about what you did, i am having the same problem you had. I am going to do a search on T60, but if i dont find anything could you please explain more.

[pqbon]

This doesn't seem to work on either of my Core2 Quad systems...

 

1) P35 with Nvidia 8800GTS (Assus P5K-E)

2) Q45 with Nvidia 9600GT or with the Q45 with the onboard video (Intel Q45CB)

 

Both systems are Penryn quad core CPUs one is a C0 the other is E0.

 

To be fair I also couldn't get the systems to boot with an older JaS 0xX86 10.5.2 Intel SSE2 SSE3 dvd either.

 

The systems fail while booting... The apple screen gets a ghostbusters sign on it.

 

EDIT: My problem is with the SATA controllers on my ICH9R and ICH10DO - The ISOs generic.iso and BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.iso don't work if SATA isn't set to legacy mode as both my systems have SATA DVD drives (the Q45 system doesn't have a PATA port). The kernel doesn't work with the controllers out of AHCI mode. The kernel gets stuck waiting for a root device.

 

I think for now I'm stuck.

 

In AHCI mode I can't transition from the loader disk to the installer disk... In IDE mode it transitions but the installer can't find a root.

I know the device is supposed to be FE but that doesn't work when SATA is in AHCI mode.

I was able to get grub boot working by dd'ing boot1h from Chameleon to the beginning of my OS X partition and then using something like this in my menu.lst

can you explain more about what you did, i am having the same problem you had. I am going to do a search on T60, but if i dont find anything could you please explain more.

 

Go to this thread. It was there alll along and I just couldn't find it until recently. If you can get a hold of Transmac for Windows, you can format a thumb drive with the Leopard image and the installation will run much faster.

I also want to add that to get the wireless working you'll have to add an original IBM Atheros card. Others won't work due to the BIOS lock and I don't think tampering with that is feasible. Here is the E-Bay link.

This is similar to the problem I'm having. If anyone knows how to resolve it, I'd be very grateful. Here's my screenshot:

 

You need to Flash your Bios with the Modified Bios for Mac OS X and also you need to change the Storage configuration in your Bios to AHCI

Hi,

I'm having problems booting from my retail Mac OS X Leopard Install Disc,

I have inserted dsmos.kext into initrd.img, and I have successfully been able to boot into the Darwin bootloader, but the problem is I get the grey Apple loading screen and it just hangs, I've tried using -x, -v but even using -v it doesn't load in verbose mode.

Any thoughts,

Thanks

Shannon

[heistsj]

I'm a noobie to the OSX86 installation l and am having a heck of a time trying to get past the Darwin boot loader and boot from my retail leopard dvd. I've got about 10 hours of reading, etc into this and I'm still having a problem.

 

Here's my config:

 

Asus P5N-E SLI with intel E2160 overclocked to 3.0Ghz with the latest BIOS update

4GB RAM

LG 20x DVD RW SATA

120 GB internal IDE drive

Geforce 8600gt with 1GB RAM, 128 bit PCI-E

 

I've downloaded the generic.iso and added the jmicron boot patch as well as the jmicronata.kext. I just cannot get past the Darwin boot loader. I type -v -f and it keeps prompting me for the boot device. It's like it just is not finding my sata dvd rw drive. Kalyway doesn't give me this problem but I'd really like to go the retail version route.

 

I'm now thinking of going the route of installing from a usb thumb drive per this thread.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really appreciate it.
