fyrekrig Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just successfully installed on an Asrock Conroe 1333. Thanks very much for your work. Only problem is sound from the the ALC888 chipset. All channels are shown, both in and out but nothing working. Used the new ALC888 option during install. Only way to get any sound is with Azalia package, however only output no mic. What should I try to get it all working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi BlackCh everything is working fine except my ethernet. im just wondrin my tplink8139d is not detected i chose this option Pcgeneric Realtek8139 but stll no success. First check you have 'PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext' on /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ . Also the folder should NOT contain AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext. If so then can be a problem about your PCI buses not being readed right. Try installing 'IOPCIFamily254' or 'PCCard_Fix' (one at the time) from 'Others' menu.

Used the new ALC888 option during install. Only way to get any sound is with Azalia package, however only output no mic. What should I try to get it all working? theres 5 alc 888 drivers on the DVD. You have to try them all (one at the time!). If you dont want to reinstall, just extract the content of the package drivers (XxX.ISO/System/Installation/Packages/Patches/Sound) on to your desktop and install it with kexthelper.

homer007 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 i am having this problem does anyone know how to over come that!! then after that it says still waiting for root device!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Francy MacPc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi BlackCH, sadly this did not work If you can; replace the extensions.mkext file (System/Library) from the new iso with the one from the old distro (the one that works for you); reburn.Did w/ TransMac, but same dvd freezing loop at 5 minutes to the end and "still waiting for root device". Tried again to boot -v -f rd=disk0 or rd=disk0s2 I googled and it doesn't seem to be any solution, I remember someone was having my same issue back in the leo4all v3 days, but now can not find anything related Time to upgrade at least my motherboard has really come now because it has always been a pain, but unfortunately I must be cheap. No one here is selling P5K-VM anymore, example I do not want to be feeded, I understand the importance of self-learning and simply reading your suggestions on this thread was learning a lot. So only if you have time and will for some advice, I'll appreciate as always. You are one of the kindest developers helping everyone to fix customization issues even going beyond what could be the personal goal to improve your distro. Your helping here is a big value added. Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your helping here is a big value added. Thanks a lot no problem man, Im not really a 'dev', more like a 'packer' I would say... Anyway, you are welcome Now back to your problem; thats very strange since, the ISO should behave in the same way when it has the same .mkext file... did you tryed the old iso to see if it does the same?.... Well, upgrade the mobo is a good idea. I have actually a P5K-VM (not for sale), and it works very fine... theres quite a few 50-70 € boards that can also work ok...

Il Francy MacPc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 did you tryed the old iso to see if it does the same?....It used to work ok. Right now I'm re-burning XxX_10.5.6_Leo_Install_Disc_Rev1 + ppf1 (= XxX_10.5.6_Leo_Install_Disc.iso) to re-install it. This is to check, but I'm sure it works because I already installed both XxX_10.5.6_Leo_Install_Disc_Rev1 and XxX_10.5.6_Leo_Install_Disc_Rev1 + ppf1 many times to test them.

Il Francy MacPc Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Before reinstalling the working revision 1 + ppf I wanted to re-do the Extensions.mkext swap from OSX, this time.

BlackCH Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I dont think there is a need to convert the ISO to DMG. You just mount it readwrite: sudo hdiutil attach -readwrite -owners on /path/to/the/xxx.iso/ then build your mkext file (either with command line or mkextTool.app) and replace.

Dragos1900 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I assume you get this booting the DVD (you are not clear about that).Try booting with the following flags: -mach_kernel_2 -platform=acpi Hi BlackCH and thanks for the reply. I tried your advise and got the same error. I am trying to boot from the SATA DVD and it stops after 2 seconds with the error I attached earlier. Thank you once again and if you have some other ideas, please let me know. Cheers, Dragos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Wonderful DVD. I love the fact that it can do a clean retail install with this. I also like the fact that you don't customize the OS by adding themes, and other unnecessary stuff or by removing default wallpapers. Now to wait for the new chameleon and move the /extra to the EFI partition to have an untouched OS. Thank you BlackCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Dragos Seems your ATA controller (Jmicron363) is giving you trouble. Try disabling it on the BIOS or disconnect any plugged ATA devices.

Dragos1900 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I will try this later today and I will let you know. Thank you very much. Dragos Hi BlackCH, You were right, the Jmicron controller was the issue. I have no ATA devices so it was no problem to disable it in BIOS. The installation went with no problems or issues and everybody who said that your version was fast, were right. It is the FASTEST I ever seen. GREAT WORK!!!! There are some small issues after install but they are not that important: - Time machine is not working, but I didn't try to find a fix yet. Maybe there is one on the DVD that I didn't select. The output in the console is: 2/9/09 11:47:42 PM System Preferences[1498] Time Machine: Error setting backup path: Error Domain=com.apple.TimeMachine.Preferences Code=-1 UserInfo=0x17cbdb20 "Time Machine could not be configured.

I have SoundMAX® ADI AD1988 adn I know that the stereo output works with Azalia kext. I tried to use another kext (and still trying) so that I can make the input also to work. I would realy want to make the microphone work too. If you know the the answers for these I would very much appreciate it, but otherwise, please try to help some other people that have serious problems. I will try to find a solution myself and I will come back with a comment. Once again, thank you very much for this great OS and for the help.

volsk Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Using the new and improved XxX 10.5.6 9G66 install disc I gave my Acer Aspire One A150 a clean install. After that hibernation doesn't work anymore. I get a kernel panic. On the old XxX 10.5.6 and iPC 10.5.6 (PPF5) it worked by unchecking "Use secure virtual memory" and "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1". On this version it doesn't. It almost tries to sleep rather than to hibernate... I reinstalled the Voodoo kernel, didn't help. At the installation I selected the exact same packages is with the old 10.5.6 disc. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
