Bigby Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have successfully installed the retail Leopard 10.5.6 using the boot 132 method and updated to 10.5.8 Also I have chameleon RC2 on a separate partition that boots leopard without the disk. My problem is: 1. No audio 2. No firewire 3. Graphics card (ATI x1900) - can only choose 1024 x 768 resolution. Does anyone know of what kexts I need to solve these problems, please?

Bigby Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I would like to add these kexts only to the partition that has chameleon on it (so leaving the Leopard partition untouched). I know there are some installer packages for audio and gfx, but won't these install to my leopard partition? I have tried to find the answer on these forums, but I am getting more confused Is there a topic that someone can link me to to find some of these kexts I need? I've also seen topics about using "osxtools" and "efistudio" to "add efi strings" to get my devices to work. Could someone explain how I could use these maybe?

Bigby Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Solved all the problems I was having. 1. Sound - used voodoohda.kext and placed in s\l\e 2. firewire - removed applehpet.kext 3. graphics - used "empty_skull_x19x0_series 10.5.6" pack and placed in extras folder of my boot partition. Thanks for everyones help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185112-retail-post-install-on-asus-p5w-mobo/#findComment-1264854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, when Snow Leopard is booted, it is supposed to be in 64-bit mode. But you're probably booting in 32-bit. You can boot in 32-bit if you're writing manually -x32 as a boot argument each time you boot the OS or maybe is it already written in your com.apple.Boot.plist file (in the Extra folder or in your /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder). To be sure just open the System Profiler and look under Software (I think, my OS is in french) I have it in 32-bit only and it seems to work great. I can boot in 64 bit with other drivers but I have no QE/CI, so lots of stuff is not working properly. I you find a solution for 64-bit, let me know !

Sorry my bad, I thought I was in a Snow Leopard forum. Leopard is only 32-bit.
