I added "IntelCPUPMdisabler.kext" to my usb boot key, so now I do not need to delete the kext "AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement". So, after installed the retail DVD, I downloaded the 10.5.4 update and the installation was ok. At the reboot I know have "waiting for root device".

 

Do you know if I now have to delete some kext ?

 

Thanks

i have a question...

ok, put the CD of Boot-132 and Install Leopard.. ok all is well.. but if i install Chameleon EFI.,..

 

can i still using the software update? or not?

 

Thanks :)

 

yes you still can for chameleon stores the kexts in root/extra/extensions

 

overflow read this part

-root is your main drive, where you see all the main folders... system, library etc.

-to get it to boot correctly you will need to enable the ability to see hidden items

(I don't remember this code at the moment but when I find it I will post it)

-copy your cd files into your main root drive not a folder named root!

-open initrd and copy the folder extra into your root drive

-should boot now.

Sharing my success!

Specs are now updated in my signature. I just burned the generic.iso without modifying and booted up to it, then swapped to the Retail disc and did everything as normal. About 3x faster than with a Kalyway Disk. Once i was done installing i booted the generic.iso again and entered 80 for my first HD where i installed OS X. booted up no problems so i went on and installed the 10.5.4 combo updated without any problems. Again rebooted with generic.iso and i added some of my kexts (audio and dsmos.kext) then i added my gfx card with EFI studio and finally i installed the Chameleon bootloader. Then i rebooted without the CD and voila! a fully working retail rig. Perfect! Everything works! Here is a screenie:

Thanks for your help :) i use Change Finder (From Kaly) to see the hidden files... :D;)

hey guys,

 

here is the latest version for P35-DS4, now with audio

 

enjoy

well i just did a clean install using the new iso with audio

 

after boot i did not have sound, however i was able to use AppleHDAPatcher 1.20 and my dump file to get audio working, which was not possible to do before i had to use newmackys method.

 

on the video side, i had to install NVinstaller v52 in order to get my video past 1024x768 which i did have to do before anyway.

 

i then upgraded to 10.5.4 and i had to re-patch audio, video was fine i also noticed i get kernel panic when i try to shut down, Restart works fine

 

also note i do have a different board.

 

thanks Elastic keep up the good work !!!!

I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

THANKS TO NEWMACKY ;)

 

i belive your original instructions were perfect newmacky. the problem was me i had

forgot that i had downloaded Elatics new.iso here and if i booted from it i could not get sound using your method after booting with his original iso it works, so i am not sure what elastic changed.

wow this is awesome !! Glad it finally worked !!

I notice we have very similar hardware...except I have an 8600GT instead of an 8800GT. Do you notice any slowdowns at all with your card/system? I'm noticing a few with mine, and I'm wondering if it's because of the 8600GT or not. If it's not related to the video card, I'd rather now spend the $150 on one :D

My system works amazing .. I havent really played much with it ... want to do some overclocking and such ... right now my Xbench score varies from 200-210 .... my system reads all the 4GB RAM (Vista 32-bit couldnt of crse) .. Video is amazing in 8800GT ... Apple 10.5.4 combo update plus the Device string in boot.plist did the trick for me .... In a nutshelll a super stable rig IMHO .. :P

@overflow1972

 

For me, I had to perform the combo update BEFORE i modified any kexts inside Extensions. I have a feeling the updater stalls because it's trying to find kexts that are no longer there

 

Since I'm on the topic already: If this is the case, what does this mean for future updates for 10.5 if certain kexts have been removed/modified from the Extensions folder?

 

Honestly speaking I just left all the kexts in my folder ... and simply replaced AppleHDA.kext and put AVInject.kext

 

~~

MBR doesnt seem to work though. if you mean dual booting with same HDD i dont think its possible because when using retail disk i tried MBR and it said it could only install to a GUID partitioned hard drive. now i have to go out and buy a new one for vista because i like this leopard setup too much to go back to the old way...lol

I am having some issues as well i downloaded the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY and started it up but my apple retail 10.5.1 just hangs on the rainbow ball it is like 1 hr now, just want to know why it is just hanging there and sometimes the rainbow ball has a line that goes up and then down every 10 secs

Ppl i cant figured it out.. dont know what to do..i´ve tried some .iso files (generic..BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY..and others posted in this thread) but all of them stuck in the same place... :censored2:

 

my laptop spec are:

ASUS F3SC

Processor & Cache Memory:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7300 : 1.8 GHz - 2.2 GHz, 800MHz, 2/4MB On-Die L2 Cache;

Chipset:

Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset + ICH8M

Video Graphics & Memory:

NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M G, 128MB VRAM

Hard Drive:

2.5" 9.5mm SATA

160GB

Audio:

Built-in Azalia compliant audio chip, with 3D effect & full duplex,SoundBlaster Pro Compatible,Built-in stereo speakers

 

I did one step ahead. I now have leopard retail installed, with 10.5.4 update and QE/CI working at 1280*1024.

 

I have now to solve one problem. To boot this system with my usb stick I need to use -v -f, otherwise the boot stops with the loading of something like "itune.....kext" or "iphone....kext", and I do not know the reason.

 

If I do not use -v -f, the system stops. If I use these flags, the system boots correctly.

 

Do you know the reason ? I just updated the system with 10.5.4, but I did not install the others update suggested by apple (itune,quicktime,etc)

 

Thanks

Thanks for all the hard work everyone!

 

guaterickie, i have a similar board. i have the ds3l. i made a fresh install yesterday using elastic's iso. the problem with that is that my sound, video card, and airport card are not working.

 

do you know how similar these boards are? i'd like to get a list of kexts you used. where can i find efi studio? i installed nvinject but it doesnt have an option for 256mb cards.

 

thanks for the help.

 

ps... are you from guatemala? just asking cause of your screen name.

FEW Questions. I have successfully installed using the loader from the p5w dh thread. Using the following steps

 

Made Iso

Loaded

Swapped

Installed leopard

no problems

 

Then I rebooted with the same boot disk

booted into osx and tried to install the rtl8187 driver for my wireless.

Installed rtl package updated cache rebooted using boot disk

Still no go just bouncing ICON.

 

What should i do to fix problem.

 

Also my Ram is showing up as sdram in system profiler. Is this normal?

ID also came up as a mac book air. Is this normal?

Has anyone got this to work on a P5PE-VM board.

I have tried to get it to work and it does not at all.

I'm using a 10.5 Retail DVD 9a581 build.

and no luck with it at all.

 

chip sets

 

Intel Core Duo 2

ICH5/865G Intel Chipset.

I tried using the kexts from brazilmac since that works for my system.

But the retail dvd says waiting for root device.

 

 

hey mrfreak,

 

any luck? I would like to install this on a P5PE-VM of a friend

Can you boot with cpus=1 ?

i've tried it already but no luck..i used it that way "cpus=1 -v" (is it right or should be -cpus=1??) it hangs in the same place

:thumbsdown_anim:

now i've tried again but without -v option, apears a big apple logo and a little circle running under (kind of loading screen) but it stays in there..i've waited 5min...

should i wait more? :s

hey people, i am trying to lnstall retail on my laptop Aspire 4720Z . i have already a copy of leo on it (iAtkos 1.0i) the boot cd works but i have tried the -v and -v -f flags and i put the 81. but nothing happens it just boots in to OSx that i have on already so.... what can i do ??? my specs are :

 

CPU :Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T2330 @ 1.60GHz

Chipset :Intel PM965/GM965/GL960 / ICH8
