Wman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ok. So I have a desktop built, ready to go and running perfectly (its got Windows XP Pro SP3 installed on it right now). It uses the following hardware: Intel Q6600 G0 2.4ghz C2Q CPU Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L mobo Nvidia GeForce 8600 videocard with 256mb ram 4 gb DDR2 1 TB HDD SATA DL SATA DVD I have a leopard disk ready. I want to know what I have to do to get 10.5.6 running on this, as I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the information here. thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/165283-need-help-with-retail-leopard-installation-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You need a boot-132 CD tailored for your motherboard or similar. Open wide, here's your search.. http://www.insanelymac.com/search.php?cx=0...L+Boot-132#1071 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/165283-need-help-with-retail-leopard-installation-please/#findComment-1150102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wman Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I don't quite understand. Am I supposed to put .kexts in the BOOT132 ISO (generic.iso), or am I supposed to put .kexts in once I install Mac OS? From what I gather, you are supposed to put .kexts in initrd.img, which is within generic.iso and they have to be the .kexts for my specific motherboard (ep35ds3l). I've found this thread (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=157938&pid=1146875&mode=threaded&start=#entry1146875), which seems to be a list of the .kexts I need for my motherboard, but where do I get the .kexts. They always say which ones you need, but never provide download links. Basically, I have to find those .kexts, download them and put them in initrd.img. Correct me if I am wrong. So where do I get them, and how do I put them in the .IMG file? I've been using PowerISO and/org MagicISO Maker to edit generic.iso, but they can't seem to handle initrd.img. -please offer any help you can here. thx edit: if anyone with a ep35 ds3l has already made a working ISO, could you upload it somewhere for me please? that would definitely facilitate this process for me.
