Modified boot-132 Bootloader

[BifBologna]

phhttt - that was more like one step forward two steps back. The system got really flaky with AHCI enabled; finder locking up, couldn't eject cd's, shut down and restart seemed to stop working, weird stuff. So I shut it back off.

 

I tried installing the IntelCPUPMDisabler,kext into the extras folder using the Kalway Chameleon DFE hard drive thing again (already used it once on this install), but the kext didn't load at start. How do I add kexts to the Extra folder on the hard drive that Chameleon is supposedly using and get them to load? I figured since they were appearing in the folder they would load, but they don't seem to be. I'm missing something somewhere, I just can't quite figure out what.

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

 

Do someone know the reason for what I have to use the flag -f (to always reload the kext) ? If I do not use -f, the system stops at something like "itune.....kext" or "iphone....kext"

 

Thanks

Hi:

I am trying to load the MAC OS 10.5 from a retail Leopard DVD on to a newly built Intel system (ABIT AB9 Pro motherboard with Intel P965 Express chip set and a Intel core 2 duo 4500 processor and 4 GB memory). I tried the two ISO files (generic and boot-kabyl) burnt on a CD-ROM with 1)DVD drive on SATA and 750 GB HD (unformatted) on IDE; 2) both on SATA and 3) both on IDE. I also set SATA to SCHI (or what ever - not IDE or RAID) on the BIOS. I get the B/W screen with the apple log and the rotating clock. After some time, it comes up with the apple screen (colorful sun rise or sun set) and the rotating beach ball and sits there for hours (I can't eject the DVD or reset using keyboard). In one try, I received lot of text information about hardware etc. before it moved to the apple screen, but I am not able to replicate it (I reset the bios etc.). Can anyone tell me what is happening? Am I supposed to do this on a system with windows already installed? Or have the HD formatted etc.

Thanks

This guide or any other probably use the same stuff so if it´s retail Leo you want to install try this one instead if this guide don´t work for you.

But you have to just like it says have a hacked OSX86 (Kalyway or other hacked OSX) to do the install from.

Hi all i got problem

 

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

 

Quick resume about "oh, what to do now?"

 

#1 - Burn .iso on a CD;

#2 - Boot this CD;

#3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Leopard Retail DVD;

 

at this point i got this error

System config file ' /com.apple.boot.S/Library/preferences/systemconfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist' not found

 

#4 - Press enter (or -v and enter...wherever...)

#5 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files.

#6 - Done!

[Jumbie]

Having trouble with this. Specs in sig and have the two HDs and DVD all connected to SATA ports using AHCI in the BIOS.

 

I have a working 10.5.4 vanilla install using one HD with Kalyway installed to install on the other HD from the retail disc. So my system works.

 

However, whenever I boot using the Generic.iso or Elastic's iso or any other one, I get stuck at the Apple screen with a spinning ball and then a "no smoking" sign after a couple minutes.

 

Booting with -v or -v -f gives me a message telling me "waiting for root device".

 

Don't know what to do other than maybe to disable AHCI and try again.

[doof]

I had success with elastic's disc ds3l. Confirm that setting ahci on just causes a hang. Installed in ide mode. After install turning on ahci but not native mode works. According to xbench ide is faster anyway. If your curious about whats on the elastic iso use mkextunpack. Seems to me that there could be a cleaner iso for the ds3l that actually included the right audio.

[Jumbie]

Looks like that may have done the trick. Was successfully able to boot into the retail disc.

 

Now that I know it's doable, I can try making my own ISO with my own kexts.

[anibalin]

Guys why do I have to restart always with -f in order to get the extra/extensions kexts loaded?

 

a ) yes, they all end with

	<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
<string>Root</string>
</dict>
</plist>

b ) yes, I had repaired permissions with disk utility

 

(btw, maybe im goofing by not actually installing any kext, the custom kexts are on the extra/extensions folder. I didnt touch the originals on system/library/extensions)

 

thanks in advance.

[clockworx]

This is currently working in the sense that it boots my install of 10.5.4, but I'm running into issues going further than that, so I had some questions

 

1) Should extensions from the initrd image show up in the Extensions list in System Info? I'm trying to fix my PS2 trackpad, and I know PS2 support is loaded (since my PS2 keyboard is working), but I don't see any of the PS2 extensions (ACPIPS2Nub, PS2Controller,etc) listed in the Extensions list.

 

2) Are there any permissions requirements for the initrd image? I was adding IntelEnhancedSpeedStep.kext to the image, and it won't appear from there, however it works fine when I add it to my regular /System/Library/Extensions folder. I even got it working in the regular Extensions folder, then moved it to initrd, but it still doesn't seem to want to work.

[Engrish]

I'm having the same problem as dodo. Here's my hardware list.

 

Lenovo G410 laptop

C2D T2370 w/ 3GB of ram

P956 (mobile) chipset with GM950 video

60 gig drive with Vista pre-installed.

 

Downloaded both ISO from the original post and still getting the same here. Is it because the partition is not a Mac partition? Any suggestions on how to format the HDD since I can't boot the retail CD. I was planning on booting the 10.4 disk and use the disk utility to reformat the HDD.

 

EDIT: Both HDD and DVD are IDE.

[nuclear_w0rm]

hi there!

i have only one problem with the install...everything works exept For the 'F' key on my keyboard (microsoFt ergonomic keyboard 4000 usb) i cant type F without pressing the shiFt key so no typing For me. iF i press F in Finder, it becomes a shortcut For copying..

im stuck here and cant understand whats wrong......any help will be appreciated

 

thanks.

[BOL_fan]

I'm having a simple but ridiculous problem - I can't eject the Boot 132 CD!!

 

Everything seems to be working fine, then I get to the darwin prompt. The CD spins down as the prompt sits there idle, but it won't let me eject the CD. No combination of button pushing, prying, or cursing has yielded any success. I've even checked the BIOS. What could it be?

[toto1234]

Folks,

 

Just a couple notes about the -f issues after long hours of testing:

 

= to avoid booting with -f all dependencies must be resolved in the CD. For example AppleAzaliaAudio depends on IOHDAudioFamily and IOAudioFamily, which itself depends on OSvKernDSPLib

 

= OSBundleRequired must be set (Local-Root for disks, Network-Root for net, Console for keyb/mouse, and Root for everything else)

 

= some kext are both present on the CD and /System/Library/Extensions (like JMicronATA), but the CD version is better, so the CFBundleVersion must be increased

 

About NVkush, I found out it doesn't like too much to be included in the CD, apparently it breaks with 10.5.4. Better to install it in /System/etc.

 

Also I just tested today my ASUS-P5B-v2 CD on a Lenovo R60. LAN and wifi were not detected. Audio and QI/CE were working fine, but had to plug in an external VGA monitor (common problem with thinkpads?). I guess it would be just a matter of adding the correct GMA950/Broadcom/3945abg kext.

[MACinized]

pardon me that i didn't read each & every post in this thread.

 

i'm able to boot already the retail leopard install dvd but didn't get pass the grey apple w/ the "loading" indicator (boot screen). so that means wasn't able to intall.

 

i have the following kexts in the boot-132 disc:

• ACPIPS2Nub.kext
  
• ALCinject.kext
  
• AppleACPIPlatform.kext
  
• AppleAHCIPort.kext
  
• AppleHDA.kext
  
• ApplePS2Controller.kext
  
• AppleSMBIOS.kext
  
• dsmos.kext
  
• IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext
  
• IOAHCIFamily.kext
  
• IOATAFamily.kext
  
• IONetworkingFamily.kext
  
• JMicronATA.kext
  
• NVinject.kext
  
• NVkush.kext
  
• SMBIOSEnabler.kext
  

any advice pls.?

[nuclear_w0rm]

try removing NVinject.kext and it might work.

i used the Following

ALCinject.kext

AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

AppleHDA.kext

dsmos.kext

IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext

NVkush.kext

SMBIOSEnabler.kext

I'll post my initrd.img soon

tnx for the reply nuclear_w0rm. tried already w/out the NVinject.kext & the NVkush.kext but still same problem. or do i need the NVkush.kext? will u give a description of this kext? tnx in advance.

[DJ eBAM]

My first post...total noob. But not in the world of PC.

 

So, I actually went out and bought Leo thinking, "hey...it's supposed to run on PC"....not realizing that the point is it runs on Intel procs....not PCs....<sigh>

 

So I find myself here...InsanelyMac...all search engines point here for "Install Leopard on PC".

 

I got the original "noob" ISO...burned it...booted...swapped to retail Leo...got the gray Apple screen with the spinning line thingy. After about 5 minutes the screen just goes black....systems is locked up. This also happens with the modified kexts version too.

 

Any idea? Do I need different kexts?

 

It's a Dell Latitude D620....pretty standard, Intel board, Core2 Duo 1.66GHz....2GB RAM

 

Thanks...

Hey MACinized, since you have a GeForce youll need nvkush.kext in ur initrd.img for now. get rid of

NVinject.kext, it dosent work or some reason..even better use my initrd.img - atleast itll get you started on your install then you can fix the display and sound etc. later.

my initrd.img and bootloader.iso are attached.

to burn the bootloader.iso use terminal and a cd-rw. Use the Superhai method:

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry803725

 

the install should work but you'll prolly have to configure the video so here's the link :

 

manual nvidia install

 

even though NVinject is recommended, you'll have better luck with NVkush. youll find your device ID in system profiler (check the ss)

Good Luck! If there is any prob im here to help!

Hi everyone, I am using toto1234's P5B-V2 ISO. It is the only ISO that evens boots on my computer, all the others I've tried gave me a ISOLINUX checksum error, but I still can´t install Leopard, it doesn´t seem recognize my optical drive. When it reaches the Darwin prompt I just swap the DVDs, hit Enter and it asks me for a boot device number, the default code that appears between brackets is ff, but if I hit enter or type ff nothing happens, it just goes back to the previous screen. You should know i am using a IDE DVD drive, and It shouldn´t work with an IDE Drive, I was just wondering if the "error" I described above is normal or expected when using a IDE drive? Do I have any alternatives besides buying a new SATA drive? 

It has been frustrating trying to get Boot-132 to work.

 

Also I tried grub-dfe without sucess, after choosing OSX DVD Loader it returns "Error 23: Error Parsing Number".

tnx for your reply nuclear_w0rm. i'm kinda having a break 1st w/ this boot-132 since i can't successfully upgrade to 10.5.4.

 

able to successfully install leopard already using my modified boot-132. i'm using 10.5 retail version. so after successful install, i installed chameleon then the kexts i need (audio & networking). i then installed the 10.5.3 upgrade package then the .4 upgrade & after that, can't get to boot to leopard anymore. tried using again the boot-132 disc but still nothing.

 

would somebody give me some more advice pls.?

[toto1234]

Error 23: Error Parsing Number".

 

Hey, see my reply in the other boot-132 resource thread. BTW I actually managed to install OSX on a lenovo laptop which has (I think) an IDE DVD drive, well at least I'm 100% sure it was compatibility mode. However the boot device code is not ff, iirc it's something like 9e or 9f or fe. Still looking for a way to get the damn thing try to use the internal LCD panel instead of the VGA port.

I have a Cyberpower 257SA1 laptop. specs are as follows:

 

singe core prescott 3.4Ghz P4 478 SSE2, SSE3

1GB RAM

ATI Mobility RAdeon 9700 (all x86 boot disks see it as a 9600....??)

Uniwill 257SA1(??) motherboard

 

when i try any of the versions of the boot123 disk found in the original thread, and a real install disk that came with my 10 month old MacBook, all i get is a black screen and occasionally a reboot loop. am i doing something wrong?? im completely new to the whole deal with using the real install disks and would be extremely happy to get it to work this way with this particular HackBook.
