MithrilFox Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I followed the method here: http://auzigog.com/2008/12/23/hackintosh-20/ For doing a retail boot-132 install of Leopard 10.5.0 (updated via Software update to 10.5.8) on my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. I get all the way to the end just fine, but the problem is that I *HAVE TO* boot using the boot-132 disc or else it won't boot properly. When I boot using Chameleon RC 2.0 or EFI or whatever else I've tried, it hangs at some point. It seems to hang right after the IntelCPUPowerManagement kext, even if I delete it or install Disabler.kext, or it hangs after mention of the ethernet the second time around (the first mention gets the ethernet ID just fine).

vilpostus Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I guess, that you have a different set of kexts installed to /Extra folder and the kexts on the grub-dfe cd. So you may replace thous, to the one that comes with the disk Navigate to /Extra/Extensions folder. Backup the contents. Remove all the kexts from /Extra/Extensions folder. Now navigate to grub-dfe cd or iso file. Go to boot folder and open the containing initrd.img. Navigate to /Volumes/initrd/Library/Application Support/DarwinBoot/Extra/Extensions. Copy all the containing kexts to /Extra/Extensions sudo -s cp -R /Volumes/initrd/Library/Application Support/DarwinBoot/Extra/Extensions/*.kext /Volumes/YourHDDname/Extra/Extensions Now remove the Extensions.mkext rm -Rf /YourHDDname/Extra/Extensions.mkext Note that the Extensions.mkext may be located in some other place, so change the path to it accordingly. Now repair permissions to /Extra/Extensions chmod -R 755 /Volumes/YourHDDname/Extra/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/YourHDDname/Extra/Extensions Restart with -v flag. Remember that you doing it on your own risk, and don't blame if it's goes wrong.

MithrilFox Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'll try it now and report back on my results. The response is much appreciated.

MithrilFox Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sorry for the delayed response, I found InsanelyMac to be down for the previous 30 hours or so. I tried your suggestion, and it was successful :D Copying the kexts from the boot CD to the HDD was an instant fix, and it didn't break anything in the process. I have what now appears to be a fully functional Hackintosh with my new EP45-UD3P, including dual monitors.
