TKiet Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I must say, impressive work! I wonder if it can also be done with our old famous OSX Tiger which had started it all, and same going with Snow Leopard to be released. Has anyone tried it with the retail Tiger, or even the beta Snow Leopard?

MAC PC GUY Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I am semi-new to leopard, and mac, and apple as of Dec. 2007. i took a leap and bought me a MacBook Pro with leopard having never used anything mac related before. I was STUPID to not do this before. I love Leopard now. however, although i have been a windows user (curse words i know) since before windows even existed and i know a lot of the tricks to windows, i dont know many to leopard or mac platforms. Having said that,......here's my problem I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Intel Centrino Duo processor. i have tried using the IATKOS ISO with no luck, i have tried as of yesterday using the KALYWAY ISO with no luck, and have now found this BOOT-132 stuff and it almost works for me. I NEED SOME HELP. i love experimenting with this stuff and i want to put leopard on my PC probably for the same reason most of you want too. I just want to do it. that and i love leopard, which we've already established. When i follow the instructions that are listed at the beginning of this forum, i have trouble the moment the grey screen with the apple logo appears. it reboots instantly every time. next round i may use a -v and it goes a long ways and eventually gets to a grey screen with no logo, and an almost stuck, ever so horribly slow beach ball, and a system that just stops responding. I let it sit for more than an hour tonight and no luck. I haven't got beyond this. Using the kalyway disk, i actually get to the point where i can use the disk utility and it starts installing. i get to 'about one minute' left on the progress bar and it eventually says install failed. I did not buy a retail DVD BUT i did get a "recovery DVD" from apple with my MBPro, however, trouble one day led them to send me a OSX 2 Disk Install set for leopard. and this is what i'm trying to use with the BOOT-132 disk. Does anyone know if this is a No NO for some reason. i assume its just like a retail set with a different label. but like i said, i'm still semi new at this stuff. Any info that could help would be very much appreciated.

shaanky98 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sure. These are the files you need for using it on a USB Disk. I haven't actually tried it myself, but it should work. If it doesn't, let me know. http://rapidshare.com/files/127729423/OSx8...skFiles.zip.htm I have tried these files but they seem not to be working for me. Is there a special way of extracting them to the USB Disk? Also I have tried the generic CD, after swapping the discs and pressing enter, I can't seem to find the DVD drive, 80 to 83 gives me my 4 SATA HDDs. So I tried 84 and nothing is happening. Is it because my DVD drive is IDE?

Templeton Peck Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Let me see if I have this right: (1) This gives users the ability to add extensions for unsupported hardware from an alternate source (2) Better-matching kexts can be loaded in leu of some of Apple's troublesome unsupported kexts, namely the infamous AppleCPUPowerManagement. (3) AFAIK, DontStealMacOS.kext must be removed for dsmos.kext to work. Does this eliminate the need for removing DontStealMacOS, or is that already somehow handled by Chameleon?

rualive Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Sorry, I know that I'm a bit late to post this.An explanation of how this works Original thread by f41qu3 I find that the HMBT Auto-Patch method is the easiest to use. This is a huge milestone for the OSx86 project. After installing with this method 10.5.0-10.5.4 works perfectly For help or information, please post in the original thread by f41qu3. Why did this work for me 1 week ago and now it will not get past 1 second of apple screen. Updated all the way through 10.5.4. Installed Ubuntu with vista on another hd. Tried to load chain in grub for leopard. After that would not boot from the boot disk. Cleaned both drives and it would not reinstall after that either. What happened?

The 2 digit boot device ID isn't determined on what DVD you use. As xfidelity said, just press enter when it asks for the boot device ID.

NSCXP2005 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi sabr, I typed 9f and then enter at the darwin boot prompt, but all I get is the Apple logo screen and nothing happens, it just sits there.

overflow1972 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 .....if you have the apple logo and nothing else, maybe you have something wrong with the kexts inside the cd you used for the boot. regards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114013-modified-boot-132-enables-vanilla-install-from-retail-leopard/page/2/#findComment-814227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you have any more problems, use this topic: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=114651 Hi Sabr, Just to qualify here, the optical drive won't always show up as 9f. I have had better luck on most systems by just hitting enter and the Leo DVD is identified with the defaults used to access the Boot-132 loader. As a hint though, wait for the DVD to spin up in the drive before hitting enter. I've had problems when I've hit the key too early and the loader fails to find the DVD... ............... And I just read your response above. Ooops!
