colinstu Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I downloaded the ToH RC2 disk, burned it, installed OS X 10.5 to a spare 40GB IDE drive. Restart computer and it can't seem boot, reading the guide, It told me to enter /usr/misc/script.sh Leopard ... the script ran, did its magic, I rebooted, and pow... it works. Completed the setup and I'm feeling great. So, now I've got drivers to install. (The ToH RC2 disk, it didn't seem to come with any driver packages). Specs are: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L (G31, ICH7, Realtek ALC662 audio) Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 (2GHz) 2x1GB DDR2 evga 9500GT Some things I can say right off the bat: -CPU is running at the proper 2GHz, but it only one core right now in OS X. -I don't know if the G31/ICH7 drivers are installed yet. -Ethernet is working, Audio isn't working -No Video Acceleration, only running at 1024x768 (so no video drivers yet) So if I can get my one core back, my proper NB/SB drivers installed, audio working, and 9500GT drivers working, I can be golden. Can I run the software update and get 10.5.8? If I can't, how would I go about doing that? Thanks. EDIT: I've got the audio working fully now.

Can I run the software update and get 10.5.8? If I can't, how would I go about doing that? On VGA. Use OSx86Tools to install an EFI string. If doesn't help, try NVinstaller or ATI_init or CoreVidia. On both cores. May try using Chameleon with proper DSDT. On Software update. No you shouldn't do that. Unless you have a retail system. Use a pre-patched updates, like iDenebComboUpdate.

colinstu Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I Installed OSx86Tools, and how would an EFI string help me here? Opening the "Download and Install Drivers" part of it and there isn't much help there (plus it wants to install the wrong version audio drivers). I installed CoreVidia, restarted my computer and now it hangs at the grey apple screen. Going -v, a bunch of nvidia driver stuff now scrolls through the screen and now hangs at a "createrecordandopen [directory] returned -14135". Great.

vilpostus Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 On CoreVidia. Remove CoreVidia.kext by booting to OS X install disk and using Terminal. sudo -s rm -Rf /Volumes/NameOfTheDiksWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions/CoreVidia.kext rm -Rf /Volumes/NameOfTheDiksWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions.mkext chmod -R 755 /Volumes/NameOfTheDiksWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/NameOfTheDiksWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions OSx86Tools. Though I'm not sure now if the card is in the list.

colinstu Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 For some reason, it didn't recognize sudo as a command. But the rest of the commands definitely felt like they did something to my install. I restart and the first time I got a kernel panic (I think, I didn't really look), and now the grey apple will show for a few seconds and the computer will hard-reboot (BIOS again). I try hitting F8 or whatever, but it will continue to go to the grey apple (not get me to the boot: prompt so I can enter -v). I could try figuring out why my sudo isn't working? Or use the script that fixed something for me earlier (came on ToH RC2 disk). What the heck. *argh* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196397-first-time-installing-osx86-and-it-worked/#findComment-1323226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Try repairing permissions by booting with install dvd and using Disk Utility. Also use -f flag.

colinstu Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Try repairing permissions by booting with install dvd and using Disk Utility. Also use -f flag. I repaired the permissions (and it repaired a bunch of them). Where would I use that -f flag? At boot? Somewhere else? Turning this on this morning (haven't changed since last night) I didn't get a kernel panic at all, and now I'm getting stuck at the "createrecordandopen [directory] returned -14135" area again. Repairing the permissions it's still stuck here... so I feel a little better that the panic is gone... searching up this error leads to This long thread with a few people describing the problem. EDIT: Picture: There appears to be some nvidia stuff left. http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/1869/col6654.jpg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196397-first-time-installing-osx86-and-it-worked/#findComment-1323698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
