[sined]

Hi!

Anyone successfully installed on gigabyte ga-965p-ds4 MB?

[uphuck]

@krizzz logic 8 studio and pro runs nice on my rigs. both m-audio fwap and onboard alc888, 883, 882 running nice

 

@alepro2 thanks for the tips

[eplightning]

Installed on Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L, C2D E7200, GF 8600GT. Everything works OOB(network, graphics, sound too!).

 

Good work iATKOS team.

[keithox]

My System: Dell Latitude E6500. No issues in installing and got display first time, network working 100%, sound as well. The issue I have though is I cannot get a resolution of 1024*768. The graphics is an Intel 45 Express chipset. I've tried X3100 and GMA950 kext files but still no joy.

 

PLEASE i need help. I am a noob at this and seriously need some help.

 

TIA

Hi all. after a year I decided to give OSX another chance on my ACER7720G.

iAtkos installed like a charm and i got my ALC268 and BCM5787M working. Update went fine.

Now can anyone tell me how to get two cores working on my Intel Core Duo T7500 ??

 

Thanks to iAtkos team !!

[yonah]

I hate to post a request for something, I prefer to search the threads til I get it, but I am just NOT coming up with anything good. The standard powermanagement.bundle packages are not working for me.

 

I am running iatkos 5i with pc efi. software update works great except for .DMG file mounting which I used the standard patch for.

 

Replaced my Atheros 5007g card with a Broadcom card, works great. Ethernet workds great, audio except sound in and heandphone jack out works good. Sleep doesnt work, havent bothered with it.

 

What I CANNOT get running which is CRITICAL to me. Is battery, can anyone help me getting battery going? Can anyone please help me come up with a solution?

[applebender]

EDIT: at the end I decided to do a new install on another disk, mounted both and pulled the data over to save them.

The joy was premature. Without any disruptive action like upgrade etc. just on restart which worked normally before, I am coming back with this problem:

after the very first screen, while on the next one which is headed with this line

 

Intel Matrix Storage manager option ROM v 7.6.1.1001 ICH9R

 

and where usually below this line it was my HD listed and the system just quickly changed to the next screen with the Chameleon boot,

 

I am getting now stuck with this info:

 

 

boot 0: MBR

boot 0: done

boot 1: startupfile_

 

with the underscore blinking.

 

The hard drive is WD6400AAKS, during the iAtkos install, I used Disk Utility to erase the disk and make one GUID partition and the install option was with BIOS in RAID setting and correspondingly I picked Intel AHCI SATA option in the install settings.

The install has been working well for a week.

 

I tried to repair permissions from the iAtkos install disk Disk Utility but this has not helped.

 

The only thing I am thinking to do is to use the iAtkos install disk and uncheck everything except the Intel AHCI SATA option in the System section to reinstal the drivers, but I am not sure this is the problem and maybe it would screw the hard drive completely. I have been just in process of transcribing files from external HD to this disk and intended to do a backup after that, hence I would prefer to save the hard drives files .

hi i need a little help i have a hp pavilion dv9500 i've installed the iatkos i5 i don't get a error or a warning sign you no it boots i see blue then it goes to black no sound or nothin i no i made progress but i need a little more help my specs: intel centrino duo 70 Gb for the space i'm giving it realtek HD sound intel grahpics 3100

2.5 MHz DVD intel pro wireless ya... i think thats about it i no about it XD i hope somone can help me a little why that is happening email me at maxswall1@msn.com Tidablishen@aim.com fachola.jonathan@gmail.com i hope to get in touch that happened to them and fixed the error or somone whos got to known it well please thanks! baii :P

[Partial]

aite got mine to work but with no sound

 

What settings did you use?

[Partial]

So, I can get my machine to configure and boot up fine once I use the -v option once on the initial boot-up after installing. Otherwise, it is an endless stream of kernel panics.

 

With that said, once I have updated the software (I have now gone back and reinstalled 4-5 times with different settings trying to figure out who is the bad guy), I have been getting really laggy performance in the OS, like basically temporary freezing for a second or two. Not sure what is the cause.

 

Anyone else experience temporary freezing/laggy performance is basic OS usage?

[nachomaster]

I downloaded this release and burned it... but when I want to boot up from it, It goes to the grey screen for about 2 seconds and restarts my pc and does nothing else. What could be the problem?

Hello, i recently downloaded and installed iATKOS 5i and after restarting with -v i get "still waiting root device"

 

Cause i really dont know which kexts/drivers to choose from customization of installation ,can someone tell me which are the right selections.

 

Notice that KALYWAY 10.5.2 was running perfect on my system !!!

 

My Specs :

 

Mobo : Asus P5K

Cpu : Intel Core2Quad Q9450

Ram : 4Gb Corsair

G/C : Nvidia 7800 GT

I am afraid Core i7 processor is still not supported.You will have to wait for 10.5.7 coz the new update will have support for new CPUs.

Hi,

Could you please check which ICH version you have.If not sure,then for the time being you can install PATA drivers and disable AHCI mode from BIOS.

Plz try and let me know ?

Meanwhile i'll check your ICH version.

[aliasa_anderson]

I downloaded this release and burned it... but when I want to boot up from it, It goes to the grey screen for about 2 seconds and restarts my pc and does nothing else. What could be the problem?

 

 

When you boot the dvd,immediately press F8 for Advanced OSX boot options.Then at the boot prompt press

-v

This will keep displaying messages as to what it is doing at the moment.

Hi,

Both should be working fine on core duos

Once you have booted and logged into PC,start terminal and execute

syslog|head

 

Check for something like

CPU0 initialised

CPU1 initialised bla bla bla...

 

If you find that,both cores are working.

If not try using voodoo kernel...

Did you try Chun Nan's battery manager ?

[krewx]

which are the diferences between all the smbios?? because i can instal the iatkos but i can´t instal de ipc because it doesn't start

 

and the diferences are the smbios and well the kernel, but i don't have problems selecting the kernel

 

thanks

Well you have a number of SMBIOS kexts to chose from but primarily there two type:

1. Hacked/Source code modified n compiled ones like - Andy's and macdotnub's

2. EFI kexts like - Chun-Nan .The advantage with this one is that you do not have to worry about backing SMIOS everytime yot upgrade cos SMBIOSEFI kext is there to take care of things.

 

If you are more interested in cosmetic changes like real mac's model identifiers etc go for Andy's smbios.

I did try all of them with different hardware experience of users may vary,but in my case i found that Chun -Nan's kext is good coz u can upgared anytime.If it doesnt work,try macdotnub's.If even this doesnt work try Andy's.

Do check for the latest ones coz devs keep adding new features/functionalities like Andy.

[infiniter]

Trying this release in hope of a successful installation, the same as with the IPC release happened:

 

After starting and showing the Apple boot logo for a couple of seconds, the PC was reset and rebooted.

 

My system:

 

Q6600 on MSI X48C mobo with 4GB DDR-3 RAM, Radeon 4850 card, AHCI not activated

 

 

 

I hope I will be able one day to find out what causes the reboot.

Great DVD! [ the previous 10.5.2 did not work on my HW].

This DVD sees all small details:

For GA-EP45-DS3LR, with MSI NVidia NX8600GTS, 4GB RAM 1033, WD 640GB SATA, Core Duo [pay attention to version] E8500 3GHz,

 

the following need to be ticked in "customise":

 

VGA >> nvinject

Intel SATA AHCI for ICH10

x86 for PC keyboard

 

the rest: piece of cake! Bravo boys!

 

[Argh: The only glitch: PS/2 keyboard need hot plug after restart :mellow: ] maybe a USB keyboard like one from Apple store will not be a bad idea...

[neo121]

i can't thank you enough for this release it's amazing , and everything is working so far perfectly on my humble components, except for the lan connection but i have my working definition and it's working , my biggest fear was autodesk maya and the known issue with the jas and the toh releases , but now it's working and i'll use my mac for my daily basic operations gladly

 

again thank you so much for this piece of work

1- This DVD is designed for Intel architectures.

Minimum requirements: Intel Core CPU, 1GB RAM, 15GB free space on target partition, nVidia 6xxx or newer - ATI X1300 or newer - Intel GMA950 or X3100 VGA card.

 

2- This DVD includes Apple's Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5 (9F33) installation.

 

3- Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one posted on our website. Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly.

 

 

 

Information:

 

- This OSX86 installation DVD release supports both GPT and MBR partitioned harddrives.

 

- The major improvement on this 5i release is updating your running system using software updater just like real Macs. This is possible for Intel based chipsets. Please read the information about preparing an upgradable system below.

 

- Main system is fully stock! That means it can't run on x86 hardware without selecting none of x86 patches. At least you need to choose one of the decrypters.

 

 

Installation:

 

1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install. Do partitioning if you need to.

 

a- You can choose MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (Guid Partition Table) via partitioning options. If you want to change your existing partition table type, note that all your existing data on disk will be gone.

b- For Windows fellows that has not tested this amazing system yet and that does not want to loose their windows software, porn and virus&trojan archive on D:\, should use Parted Magic Live CD for preparing an active primary target partition and after that, just erase it via diskutil. Jump to Step 2.

 

2- Select the destination for installation.

 

3- Click Customize*** and select what you need.

 

4- Click Install.

 

Install time is about 20 minutes.

 

 

*** Customize section is the most important part of the installation for you to make OS X work on your hardware.

 

Customize:

 

- iATKOS Main system: If you want to install the osx86 main system, you need to select this.

- Bootloader: You have 2 choices. You must select one of them for booting your osx86 system. PC_EFI V9 is an "all in one" bootloader and has many options. The most important ones are DSDT override, external kexts and the 64bit mode (snow leo only). DSDT override will be needed for the upcoming updates, otherwise osx86 systems will have kernel panic due to new RTC driver. "External kexts" option allows users to use external location for their special drivers (/Extra/Extensions), this will protect them from the updates. iATKOS v5i installation has all the needed scripts and packages for you to prepare an upgradable system and update like real Macs, but you need to read the information about preparing an upgradable system below.

The other choice is Chameleon v1.0.11. This is compatible for most systems, users whom want to have a normal old-style osx86 system may choose this bootloader.

- Decrypters: You must select one of the decrypters for your x86 hardware.

- SMBIOS: You need to select one of the enablers or classic x86 SMBIOS drivers. Enablers allow your system to run on stock SMBIOS driver and this is also a must for upgradable systems. x86 patched SMBIOS' are for normal old style osx86 systems.

- Kernel: You can choose 9.5.0 voodoo, 9.5.0 fassl kernel or old 9.2.0 toh kernel which is compatible for most.

For upgradable systems, the custom kernel you selected will be protected after applying the update, which means you will be running on new System.kext + your old 9.x.0 custom kernel which is not right. System must run on System.kext that belongs to your kernel version. So, you will need to replace new System.kext with your old System.kext, otherwise you will not able to use none of USB devices. You can find your custom kernel's System.kext under /Library/Temp. New updated one is in /System/Library/Extensions folder. Do not forget to repair the disk permissions using Disk Utility.

If you want to switch to stock kernel when running upgradable system, then you need to edit com.apple.Boot.plist file under /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. You need to change the value ''custom'' to ''mach_kernel'' and reboot. Don't forget to use the same System.kext version with your running kernel. For normal iATKOS osx86 systems you need to check /Library/Backups folder for the stock kernel and replace it with the existing kernel on your root.

- ACPI: Main system includes stock ACPI driver. You can choose modified ACPI for shutdown/reboot problems and also you can select OHR driver for such issues. You can choose x86 modified ACPI driver for PS2 mouse/keyboard and also PS2 driver can sure manage that but it is not a good choice for upgradable systems. You may need to select APIC driver for some mobo.

- Disabler: This driver disables some problematic drivers, you may not need this for PC_EFI V9 systems but this can still be usefull for most systems.

- Remove PowerManagement: This removes the most problematic driver. You do not need it if you select Disabler or if you are on PC_EFI V9 bootloader.

- PS/2: Driver for PS/2 keyboard/mouse. You will need to modify the Info.plist of ACPIPS2Nub.kext for the update's ACPI version before applying main system update, otherwise your ps2 mouse/keboard will not work. For upgradable systems, I advice you to use x86 ACPI driver instead of this.

- OHR: Driver for freeze issues on shutdown/reboot. Modified ACPI driver can be an alternative for this.

- Drivers: Additional drivers for your setup. Read the descriptions.

 

*********Preparing an Upgradable System**********

 

A profile is given below, first four items are musts for upgradable systems, the rest are for additional setups. Read carefully. Intel chipsets have more chance for success.

- Main System

- PC EFI V9 Bootloader

- One of the Decrypters

- One of the SMBIOS Enablers

- It is better to use the stock kernel. If any custom kernel is selected then you will need to replace the System.kext with the one in /Library/Temp after applying the update.

- For PS2 mouse/keyboard it is better to select x86 ACPI driver instead of PS2 driver.

- Speedstepping support may be problematic for upgradable systems without Disabler. But you can use it safely with Disabler.

- GMA950-a will fail after update, GMA950-b or efi string should be selected for such systems.

 

 

Multiboot:

 

iATKOS 5i has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easy.

 

Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Win-Linux.

 

- MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to MBR (msdos type) and create 3 primary partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 for the others.

(Note: %99.99999 of the PC harddrives already have MBR partition map scheme (msdos type) which you can change it to GPT via Parted Magic CD or iATKOS Disk Utility if you like to.)

 

- Add boot flag to Vista or Linux target and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, do not install bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root. If you want linux to take the boot control then you need to install its bootloader to MBR.

 

- Boot iATKOS 5i DVD and install OS X to its target as usual.

 

- You may need to repair Vista. Add boot flag to Vista partition, boot Vista DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS X partition, thats all.

 

Now you have triple boot on MBR.

 

Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot.

 

- GPT (Guid Partition Table) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to GPT (Guid Partition Table) and create 3 partitions by using iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 (msdos) for the others.

 

- Boot Windows Media and install it to its Fat32 target partition.

(Note: Vista might not detect the hybrid partition table as XP does If so it will refuse to install the OS on the target. The trick is just try to format the other partition and then select your real target again for installation, you will see that it will success this time. No need to worry, it will not erase any data that time, because it cannot even detect the MBR part of the hybrid but this trick solves it.)

 

- Boot Linux media and install the OS. If you want OS X to take the control of booting then install Linux bootloader to Linux root. If you want Linux to take the control then install it to MBR (actually the MBR of msdos part of the hybrid partition table) and you will need to change the install order also. The one which will take the boot control should be the last one to be installed.

(Note: Some live linux cd stuff (knoppix, kanotix, parsix, etc.) has built-in installer applications and they use gparted for partitioning and formatting targets. At this point, formatting target to linux fs via Gparted is not a good choice because it may break the hybrid partition table, use unix fdisk just for changing the target partition type from ''c0'' to ''83'' which is linux partition type, then you can continue installation.)

 

- Boot iATKOS 5i DVD and install OS X as usual.

 

Now you have triple boot on GPT, thats all.

 

 

 

Known Issues:

 

- This dvd may not include all the necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may be needed to be taken by the user to setup and use such components.

 

 

Unsuccessful Installation and Related Symptoms:

 

 

- System freezes at grey screen by booting from DVD.

 

--> You probably have an unsupported chipset.

*965 or newer chipset ASUS or MSI motherboard/laptop

*many VIA, SIS, ATI chipset motherboards

~ start with cpus=1 -v

~ Play with BIOS settings, turn off 1 core

~ There are modified BIOS' for Intel 965 and newer ASUS/MSI motherboards
