mrbash Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I am starting this thread mostly to get help in getting Leopard fully working on my Asus P5K SE/EPU mainboard, but hopefully others can use this to get their system working. Or it can be a guide to hardware purchase. Here is what I have: Asus P5K SE/EPU -- $92 Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz -- $207 OCZ 2P1002PGK 2*1GB -- 57 OCZ 2P1002PGK 2*1GB -- 57 LG GH22NS10 20x DVD-R/R DL SATA -- 29 eVGA Nvidia 7900GS 256MB -- n/a MS IntelliPoint USB mouse -- n/a MS Ergo 4000 keyboard -- n/a Maxtor 300GB SATA2 -- n/a I am using JaS 10.5.4 installer. First hurdle cleared -- Still Waiting for Root Device -- Starting the install process At first I was unable to start the installer because I only had an IDE DVD drive. For some reason the IDE controller is not recognized by either Leo4All or JaS. To get past this I performed the install using a IDE-USB enclosure, where I attached the CDROM to the external enclosure. This worked in getting the install done. I got tired of this and bought the LG DVD drive mentioned in the original post. This sped up the install slightly, but not worth the $29 I spent on the DVD drive, and the fact I had to give up a SATA port to do that. Second hurdle cleared -- Install Failed -- Unable to finish the install. I looked at the log and changed the filter to show all messages. It seemed that because I had a space in the name of my hard drive many of the scripts were failing to run. So I changed the name of the hard drive from "Macintosh HD" to "Leopard". Third hurdle cleared -- Looping at Migration Screen --Looping between Welcome Video and User Migration screens. I posted about this already and Hawk Pedgion answered it. To get past the User Migration screen, you need a FireWire port. So I added my SoundBlaster Audigy card, and it found the FireWire port on it and I was able to get past that. Outstanding issues--What still doesn't work The following things aren't working: No LAN -- Can anyone suggest what I should choose to get LAN working on this Mainboard? No Audio -- I have some hints about using a particular ACL883 driver. Will update trying it. No Wake from Sleep-- I can put the system to sleep but it doesn't come up. This is what is bothering me the most. I know people have had success waking their system using the same mainboard, but I don't know what I need to do to get this to work. Any help would be Greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbash Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think at this point I should have this thread moved to the Post-Install section. Could an admin help move this over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbash Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have been able to resolve the following issues: LAN -- I installed a Marvel Yukon 2 LAN card and used skge driver. Worked fine. I have not yet been able to get the on-board LAN card to work though. Audio -- I used the link http://www.mediafire.com/?j0lnmnwwgms to download ALC88e-eLineOuts.zip. Now I have line-out and mic-in working. Nothing else though. IDE -- I missed stating that my IDE was not working. It is now, thanks to a modified AppleVIAATA.kext. I found that at: http://my.ukrweb.info/en/marvell-and-others-ata-kext-leopard So the only thing outstanding is my Resume/Wake from Sleep. -- Any help here? I'm still missing the on-board LAN but I'm making do with the PCI card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbash Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Wake -- Well it looks like Wake now works. I'm not able to resume via USB but I can press the power button and that wakes the system. I'm not 100% sure if this is going to break-down after some time like on Windows. So this is a maybe. That said, the only outstanding issue is the on-board LAN. But looking at the HCL wiki it seems that the on-board LAN doesn't connect properly after Waking from Sleep mode. So maybe it's better this way. So it seems like I'm close to 100% with OSx86!

mrbash Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Another update. I have FireWire working by using the Leo4All kext. I got some lock-ups after using them, but couldn't isolate those kexts as the problem. I also got LAN working. I installed the atheros L1 kext. It is better than the Yukon2 kext because those had some performance issues and I also had trouble uploading files. Of course I don't know if these kexts are stable, and if stable whether they support wake and sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
