[LawlessPPC]

It was a sucessfully installation but...... i have go t a quadcore but only one core is operating!! What do you think about ?When i installed it used cpus=1. Probably this is the reason, but without it did'nt start installation.

I have a hard drive with vista on it and another second hard drive that I plan on installing osx86 on. IS this possible. I basically want to be able to boot into either hard drive at startup. I am in the process of downloading LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD because i assumed it will work being that i have a phenom processor. Will this version work if not can someone help! Suggestions anything! Btw i have a dual monitor setup on the nvidea 8800GT will this screw anything up?

Now it's Ok .It was a wrong configuration of bios specifically in apci configuration.

 

 

 

Many thanks to all.

But now we may upgrade to 1.06 version .

The problems are also in FSB moltiplier .With 13X and over it have problems in booting .

now you should update to the latest voodoo kernel and then update to osx 10.5.5

[leeonardello]

The true problem was the FSB moltiplier and not the apci configuration.

First of all, thanks. Great release. All other that I've tried wouldn't even boot on my system.

Everything works fine. The only thing that I had to change was the SB600 IXP kext, natit for Radeon HD 3870, and edit the Yukon2.kext for Marvell 88E8056. Everything I've tried have been working well so far. No problems at all, except for 1 minor thing.

Everytime there is some delay at the bootloader (e.g. me entering boot commands), I can't get it to boot unless I use cpus=1. It just hangs with a report of "Unable to start cpu1/2" and then reboots. I will have to turn the PC off and on again before it will boot. But if I let everything be, it will boot perfectly with all 4 cores enabled. I've tried upgrading the kernel to Voodoo 9.5.0, but still get the same results: can't boot without cpus=1 if there is any delay at the bootloader. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's not that bad, but sometimes frustrating when I do a -s and forgot to type cpus=1. Specs at bottom.

 

Thanks.

[LawlessPPC]

the 9.5 kernel needs the 9.5 system kext so personally i would update to 10.5.5 dont forget to make a backup of your kernel under a different name so you can boot with this specific kernel and replace the new apple kernel with your backedup voodoo 9.5. Also repair permissions

[quetzalcoatl2435]

I already did that. I got 9.5.0 kernel and 9.5.0 system.kext. I also tried using the old (9.4.0) kernel & kext. Same results...

I just downloaded the 10.5.5 update. Let's see how it goes after the update.

 

[Edit] 10.5.5 killed my OS X. Reinstalling 10.5.4...

did you back your kernel

up first on root with a different name

[quetzalcoatl2435]

up first on root with a different name

 

Yep. The update didn't rewrite voodoo kernel, because it's named mach_kernel.voodoo. I even backed up the old modbin 9.4.0 kernel (as mach_kernel.original). None worked, after the update. Using voodoo after the update, it stops loading OSX after "Skipping known blacklisted "Dont_Steal_Mac_OS_X.kext"." Manually installing the update using Pacifist (excluding Extensions and mach_kernel) would get me a garbled screen (1/4 top shows the wallpaper, then some garbled image, and the rest was just blue) with a mouse cursor, and nothing else.

 

But the most frustrating thing is that I keep getting random "Failed to start CPU 01/02/03. Rebooting..." messages during boot. Either that, or it just hangs while trying to start CPU 01/02/03. If I can get that fixed, I'm more than happy to stick with 10.5.4 for the moment.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

I still love your release, since it's the only one (among the others that I've tried) that boots on my system.

the garbeld graphics are apples own ati drivers can u boot in safe mode -x and then reinstall the right graphics drivers and repair permissions. Dont forget when you repair permissions use something like kext helper or do it in terminal as disk utility will only repair permissions on apple own kexts. I personally repair permissions with kext helper then with disk utility after that. But if its a no boot state you may need to repair permissions in single user mode first before it will let you boot

[CaBuffalo]

Hi, LawlewwPPC. I got "waiting for root device" msg when I tried your verison on ASUS M3N-HD/HDMI MB. It's NF 750a chipset. Sata hdd is on the NF chipset controller. I can pass it on Ideneb 10.5.5

 

Any clue to pass that?

I've still got some work to do, so I'll try it later when I have the time.

Just wondering, though, should I be able to use the updater, or do I have to manually extract and install the files using Pacifist?

 

Thanks.

[CaBuffalo]

trying iPC now and it passed that msg. Let's see.

[quetzalcoatl2435]

Finally got it done. Fully updated to 10.5.5. That was some fiasco, but learned a lot along the way.

 

I still have no idea how to make it work using the updater.

Installed manually using Pacifist. I had to try to install the CoreServices and Framework one by one to see which ones would kill my setup.

 

I found out that updating Dock.app, Finder.app, SystemUIServer.app, and loginwindow.app in /System/Library/CoreServices would kill my setup. As does AppKit.framework, ApplicationServices.framework, and OpenGL.framework in /System/Library/Frameworks.

Had to manually run those files through Marvin's AMD Utility before updating.

And as if that wasn't enough, Rosetta apps would hang after I updated everything successfully. Found out that the translate binary is encrypted, and Marvin's AMD Utility wasn't able to decrypt it. Luckily, I had dsmos.kext sitting in my notebook (using Kalyway 10.5.2, which I haven't been able to update to 10.5.5... ). Installed dsmos.kext, and everything went fine.

 

It seems like your release does away without any decrypters. Everything was already decrypted from the get-go. Neat, but not very "update-proof", methinks.

I don't think I want to try updating to 10.5.6 anytime soon.

 

Still got those annoying "Unable to start CPU XX" message, but not as often as with 10.5.4, I think.

I'm gonna try to see if it has got anything to do with my IDE card (Silicon Image 0680) later.

 

Cheers.

this really strange as with the voodoo kernel rc1 you dont need to patch anything i am running a vanilla install on phenom all patching done by voodoo. If you are to patch files zephyroth has made a utiltiy that does the download and the patching for you on the fly. You'll find it on infinitemac. Yes everything has been run through marvin before it is installed on my release reason being your machine wouldnt even boot without this. Seriously tho you need to check on your kernel the main reason for this on amd is to do away with cpuid patching files.

[pringles78]

Hi to all, this is my first post.

I'm sorry for my english.

My pc have this configuration:

 

Mobo ASUS M3A

Processor AMD Phenom 9500

Chipset AMD770/SB600

RAM 2GB Corsair 800 Mhz

Graphics Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS 512MB

2 SATA HDD 320GB 300GB

 

Which is the best configuration that i've t choose to run at 100%?

I've to add something else? i've to download something else?

Please help me.

Thank you for attention.

...

Well, that's what I thought, but the problems didn't occur because of the cpuid patching. The files were encrypted, and Voodoo kernel doesn't have a built-in encryption.

 

If you are to patch files zephyroth has made a utiltiy that does the download and the patching for you on the fly.

 

I've tried Zeph's ASU 0.5, but somehow it seems to never complete the software downloads on my system. Right at the part where I think it would start the patching, it just does nothing. No progress bar activity, no disk activity, no cpu activity, nothing. This problem might also be related to my strange setup.

 

Yes everything has been run through marvin before it is installed on my release reason being your machine wouldnt even boot without this.

 

I think (from my last experience) that this problem is also related to the encrypted files. I've tried booting the updated 10.5.5 with the original CoreServices and Framework files (with dsmos.kext installed, of course), and still couldn't boot. It seems that some of these files get loaded before dsmos does. That's why I had to patch (decrypt, not cpuid patching) the files in those two locations to get a clean boot. Everything else can be handled by the dsmos.kext.

I'd like to know how you got past the encrypted binaries, since Voodoo doesn't have a built-in encryption. There might be a clue there about where I went wrong...

Lawless' release should work fine for you. My only recommendation would be to download and install AppleATIATA.kext after you're done installing. Look for it in the Hardware & Drivers section of this forum. It works better on ATI SB chips than the patched AppleVIAATA.kext.

As for the graphics card, I don't have any experience with nVidia, but I think most people would rather go with nvkush than nvinject. Just remember to consult the Drivers section regarding the best drivers for your hardware.

Everything else should work fine.

[pringles78]

thank you very much for your attention quetzalcoatl2435.

i have to choose some particular configuration for my hardware during installation

or i leave all by default?

thank you again.

You can use the standard settings, except for the drivers part.

There you have to choose to install VIA/ATI SB chipset drivers.

Your board seems to use Realtek ALC883 (6 ports), so be sure to choose that for the audio drivers.

I don't know what LAN chip it uses. Couldn't get any information on this, so you have to consult your manual/windows drivers for that information.

I also don't have any experience with nvidia cards, so you should browse the graphics drivers subsection for that information.

 

You can download the ATI IXP drivers here for better disk performance.

!!! thank you very much for all !!! tonight i realized my dream!!!

!!! i had a working mac in my hands!!!

but not all it's right.

i have problem with graphic card, nvidia 8600 GTS PCIe 16x

the default resolution after 1st boot is 1024x768 with more options

when i install the kext nvinject, when reboot the resolution is set at 800x600 with all features active (like quarz extreme and all the resolutions supported), if i try to change it i obtain only a blue screen. after 15 seconds the screen must turn back at original resoution but i see it that try to change but i obtain again the blue screen. if i reboot i see the desktop at 800x600 with all features active.

i've tried to install the nvkush, but i obtained that the leo know the graphic card model, but resolution remain at standard 1024x768 without the support to the quartz extreme.

any idea? please help me.

i see some little thing about this wonderful OS and i love it.

please help me.

thank you for attention and i'm sorry about the orrible english.
