Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm posting from my OS X installation on my PC, and I need help... OK, I tried to install the 330 MB Mac OS X Update Combined (intel) with Safari 3. The first time I tried, it screwed up OS X. After installing it and rebooting, it would get to the "Loading darwin" part of the boot, and the computer would just restart. Would I need to repair the disk permissions in Disk Utility for it to work? I also have AGP GeForce FX 5200 NVidia card in here, and I found this installer http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36435 . I read everybody's post, and it doesn't seem anyone could get this working properly with AGP. Little help with that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Guest Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I know this is a bump, but I got updates working just fine now, what I need is to get my AGP GeForce FX 5200 Video card working. It would be really nice, because intergrated kinda sucks...

Reveeen Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I need is to get my AGP GeForce FX 5200 Video card working There are 2 things to install: 1) an AGP driver, not knowing what your chipset is I have no idea. 2) a FX5200 driver, I used a driver called "Natit dual v02" to good result here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry735525 and here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=141001 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133285-10411-installed-need-agp-geforce-fx5200-drivers/#findComment-1009620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The chipset for my board is: Field ValueNorth Bridge Properties <BR>North Bridge Intel Springdale-G i865G<BR>Revision / Stepping 02 / A2<BR>Package Type 932 Pin FC-BGA<BR>Package Size 3.75 cm x 3.75 cm<BR>Core Voltage 1.5 V<BR>In-Order Queue Depth 12<BR> <BR>Memory Controller <BR>Type Dual Channel (128-bit)<BR>Active Mode Single Channel (64-bit)<BR>PAT Enabled<BR> <BR>Memory Timings <BR>CAS Latency (CL) 2.5T<BR>RAS To CAS Delay (tRCD) 3T<BR>RAS Precharge (tRP) 3T<BR>RAS Active Time (tRAS) 7T<BR> <BR>Error Correction <BR>ECC Not Supported<BR>ChipKill ECC Not Supported<BR>RAID Not Supported<BR>ECC Scrubbing Not Supported<BR> <BR>Memory Slots <BR>DRAM Slot #1 256 MB (PC2700 DDR SDRAM)<BR>DRAM Slot #2 256 MB (PC2700 DDR SDRAM)<BR> <BR>Integrated Graphics Controller <BR>Graphics Controller Type Intel Extreme Graphics 2<BR>Graphics Controller Status Disabled<BR> <BR>AGP Controller <BR>AGP Version 3.00<BR>AGP Status Enabled<BR>AGP Device nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200<BR>AGP Aperture Size 128 MB<BR>Supported AGP Speeds 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x<BR>Current AGP Speed 8x<BR>Fast-Write Supported, Enabled<BR>Side Band Addressing Supported, Enabled (If thats right..) As soon as it arrives, I'm upgrading my ram to 1.5 GB. And I think I have it linked in the first post, but I used a GeForce FX5200 driver installer, but it didn't exactly work right. The screen was sideways, and after rebooting one more time the screen would just stay black...

Reveeen Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What I would do is follow my install on that AssRock piece of junk I installed on, using the XxX_OS_X86_10.4.11_Install_Disk_Rev2, changing only the audio and Nic options to suit what I have. This will give you 10.4.11, the 865 AGP driver you want, and the FX5200 driver you want. The only problem you will have is the latest security update (2008-008) breaks "about this Mac" (you can still get "system profiler" in your utilities folder to give you the same info). http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=141001 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133285-10411-installed-need-agp-geforce-fx5200-drivers/#findComment-1010321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't want to have to re-install my OS though, took me a while to get it working right the way it is currently. Plus, if I have to download another 4 GB ISO, it'll take forever. What I'm looking for is some sort of installer to make things easier if there is one. Otherwise just the required files, and I could put them wherever they need to be and what not. Anything like that? I've searched the forum a lot and haven't found much that doesn't require a whole alternate version of an OS X ISO...

Guest Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Yes I did, I used this method and upgraded perfectly to 10.4.11 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho....4.8+to+10.4.11 I don't reccomend leaving the Terminal open while updating. When I did it that way, the update crashed at Expanding and Verifying. So just repeat the step right before the "leave it open" part near the end after the update, run the script and such, then restart.

Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sonic94....... am looking for Roxio Toast but i cant find a version that works what do u use to burn ur CDs...? i want something that can also burn data files any idea? and did u do the security update too caz am scared to install it i cant bother with a "crash" right now Sorry, haven't been on here in a while. I did the security update no problem, just use the tutorial I linked a couple posts up and you'll be just fine! And I didn't actually burn any CDs from my Hackintosh, I burned my OS X CD off of Windows using InfraRecorder.
