masterpiece Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 hello, I have installed 10.5.5 and I restored users etc from time machine. When I rebooted I see all the users as Standard and non as Admin. The result is I cannot unlock any of the settings in system preferences. How can I add one of the users to group admins if all the users are Standard. Thanks http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US hope that helps.. masterpiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willnjenn Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just installed on a BadAxe2 board. PATA DVD/RW onto a SATA HD. Everything but audio running out of the gates. had to run the patcher and the mic input doesn't work, but this is how it has been since tiger. The only thing that isn't 100% is in About This Mac, my overclock speed isn't showing. If that is my only gripe, then I'm a happy camper! It seems to boot and shutdown a whole lot faster than with other builds too. Everything within the OS is VERY responsive, and I haven't had any kernel panics or beach balls. Congrats iDeneb, you've got a fan!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunlade Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm also getting the "Waiting for root device" error after installing. Its an nForce motherboard (Asus P5N-E) and I picked the nForce drivers from the install selection, so am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep211 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I read the p45 chipset thread and got the modded bios but im unsure if I need this with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5. Does anyone have a p45 chipset or a asus p5q x motherboard working? If so what software, settings and hardware options did you use? Thank you for your time Spec's p5q-e q6600 oc@ 3.4 2 gigs of ddr2 @ 865 mhz 8600 gt onboard sound and nic 2 sata 2 500 gig hard drives running raid 0 ide dvdrom that will be used through usb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunlade Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 "Waiting for root device" fixed. Seems choosing the *older* nForce drivers worked out. Now I just need to find a stable way to use my Netgear FA113 - the current method I am using is to use an older version of "IONetworkingFamily" which seems to support it, newer ones don't. However that does cause some stability issues. Anyone know of a better way? (the onboard network doesn't seem to notice when I plug a cable in, although it shows up as a port).

yauksy Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It just works if I install it on a Intel PC with already the kalyway 10.5.1... If I install it directly it doesn starts(stops in apple page)..But its ok, its working. My problem is just that when I install it my keyboard stops working and I don't know how to turn it on because I think this version doenst have my keyboard drive because I can change in leopard the layout of my keyboard, but it continues not working, it doentst even know that I have a keyboard. Someone knows how can I fix it? Thanks ---- edit ---- Its a notebook Acer 3690 - 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antsh Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi everyone, I am having a small problem with this release, I am getting the same error as mrwet with my hardware: My hardware is as follows ASUS p5k premium - almost identical to a deluxe Q6600 8GB RAM I am trying to get my onboard Marvell Yukon to work but keep getting that same error. I know it should be possible since it worked with kalyway. The options I'm selecting are as follows: Sound - ADI1988B Chipset - ichx fix and jmicron (tried with and without it, and with it enabled and disabled in bios) graphics - non, I'll take care of it with EFI strings later Ethernet - Appleyukon2 on and off, no effect Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

svakak Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 When I rebooted I see all the users as Standard and non as Admin. The result is I cannot unlock any of the settings in system preferences. How can I add one of the users to group admins if all the users are Standard. Thanks Same thing happened to me, here is what I have done: 1. Boot into single user mode, F8 at boot, and type -s into prompt 2. Mount disk read/write 3. passwd root You will need to type root's new password two times. 4. Type exit and press enter. This will boot you into OSX 5. Now create new user that will be temporarily Administrator. To unlock System Preferences type root as username, and password that you gave to root account 6. Login as new temp administrator, open terminal and type this dscl localhost -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership username 7. Reboot This was only way that worked for me.
