wuzzle Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 @joeventuramate maybe your laptop already have a problem i mean hardware problem that's why it didn't work.

xtraa Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Oh yea, some Intel ICH7 boards have problems with AFP. Symptoms are: - Problems to connect the iTunes library via LAN - problems to connect devices like iPhone with write access Fix is here, it would be great to kextcache this in the future, if not already done. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=122276 BTW: I wonder why the IntelICH7toICH9AHCIController package is empty. Is it preplaced for future upgrades or a faulty pkg? Cheers, xtraa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_butters Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I just installed on my Lenovo/IBM T61p. Everything seemed to go alright, had to boot off the cd to get into the OS, but I expected that. The only problem I'm having is during the welcome setup program thingy, it crashes when it ask if I have another Mac I want to transfer settings from. It sits there thinking about it, then crashes and goes back to the first Welcome screen. Any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks JaS for a Great Release (Before now, no one was supporting my T61p!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcfreek14 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 boot in single user mode (with -s) type (exactly).... /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / (note the spacing after -uw...very important) touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone (note the fullstop before AppleSetupDone) passwd root (type the new password...it wont show but it's definitely typing in a password as the cursor doesnt move, need to repeat the password for verification) (type) reboot It should now boot to a log in. the user name is root and the password is the one you made earlier go to system preferences and click on accounts. de-activate the administrator account and add your own account. All done Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_butters Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 thank you so much for your quick reply! that did the trick. Now I'm tribooting xp, ubuntu 8.04, and JaS 10.5.4! Thanks Again ! OK, so I have a new problem(s) 1: Video Support is not full I have a nVidia Quadro FX 540m (256mb) but System profiler is only reconizing it as "Display" with 32mb of Vram. the Device ID is 0x040c and it says no Kext Loaded. Also my native screen resolution is 1920x1200 and I can't change it from 1024x768. 2: Wireless/Lan is not Detected I have a Atheros Wireless card (the ThinkPad one, not the Intel one) that I'm sure I checked when I installed under the device reconization. as far as device ID's go, I couldn't tell you because it's not reconizing it. Thanks in advanced for any replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcfreek14 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.mediafire.com/?kn9jpyan1gd Try installing that driver for video. Might work As far as the Wireless... i have no expirence with those chips. Boot into xp to get the device id and see if anyone else has had luck with that one. Or get a Dell 1500 its draft N and ive had no problems with it. Cheap as hell on ebay.\ Also, i forgot to mention. The reason your system was restarting the welcome screen over and over was because of the NIC. What NIC is in that thing??? (guessing broadcom...... aka not good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_butters Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well it should be a Intel Gigibit NIC and a Lenovo ThinkPad ABG (Atheros Chipset) Wireless Card, and a Serria Verizon WAN. So it could be any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ePic One Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 . . learn to read: 'joeventura' is clearly trying to get Leopard onto his laptop . . *any* Leo. He is clagging up a news thread specific to JaS 10.5.4 with his own concerns specific to his hardware & non-specific to JaS 10.5.4 . . & bug off yerself. This place is a no-Troll-zone I read joeventura's posts and found he tried the JAS 10.5.4 distro, and the problem he had with it. He also mentioned the other distro's he's used. But I assume he's just looking for answers to the problems he has with Jas's distro. If not, I agree with you 100% Joeventura, like shoarthing I agree. DO NOT DISCUSS PROBLEMS WITH OTHER DISTRO'S on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeventura Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 You are correct, it started with the JaS distro. I provided the other info for information purposes only, if I got off track I apoligize, All my work has been focused around the latest JaS distro, I actually sent him some $$$ in that regard. My laptop works flawlessly so its not hardware, it must be something unusual about whatever may have changed from 10.4.8 JaS distro to this one because JaS 10.4.8 w PFF1 and 2 works very well. Nothing major will be resolved for me until JaS returns so I will try not to bog the thread down with any irrelevant data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramark Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The technical specifications of Mac OSX Leopard are:Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processators with >867 MHz and >512Mb of RAM Yes but this is not a original mac it is a hackintosh that's why i said it my not function well unlike if he has a g4 or g5 mac it may work.. @joeventura In using a kalyway 10.5.1, you must only choose sse2 system and if you partition your harddisk in mbr,check the mbr partition and that's all you have to choose when installing on a kalyway 10.5.1. I hope it helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeventura Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 @kramark I never get past the Select install language before it freezes, how would I choose SSE2 before that On Kalyway or Jas Install disto? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msebastian99 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I am also getting the same error when I try to install on an ASUS P5KR.Does this has something to do with the mobo? I get something similar. It errors out when it tries to install the 10.5.4comboupdate and asks me to restart. I've tried this a couple of times, with the same results. I'll try another laptop, to see if it's the DVD. Anyone else have the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applehacker Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 When I try to boot dvd, it only boots to a blue screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_azure Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 My JaS 10.5.4 finally finished downloading. I'm currently running Kalyway 10.5.1 (plus 10.5.2 update and ToH 9.2.0 kernel) on a Thinkpad X41 tablet. Previously I used the paperclip trick until upgrading to the new GMA950 kexts someone posted a link to upthread. Now the paperclip trick is no longer needed. This information is provided to demonstrate that OSX does function correctly on this hardware. Here is a log of my experience: Today I tried a first attempt at installing JaS 10.5.4, using the boot flags -v -cpus=1. As soon as the GUI launches it gets stuck at the blue screen. The mouse pointer never appears and all hard drive activity comes to a halt. So I installed the paperclip again. Same results. I hooked up an external monitor and it will now successfully launch the GUI, but the resolution is off and I get weird overlapping and artifacts on the screen that prevent me from performing the install because parts of the picture trail off the edge of the monitor. Also, the mouse pointer does not line up with what appears to be underneath it. Next step is to attempt setting the Graphics Mode to a known good resolution at the boot prompt. I will report back my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot the JaS 10.5.4 DVD. Press F8 when prompted and boot with following flag: rd=diskXsY. X is the number of the disk you installed and Y number of the partition of the installed system. Leopard will start using the kexts from DVD (both mouse and keyboard will work). Then double-click on DVD icon on desktop, go to System/Packages/Patches and you will find a package named ApplePS2Controller. Install that and it should work. It worked for me.
