mrfrisky330 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have been downloading lots of kalyway images and all seem to be corrupt! They download as a bittorrent under name "Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd" but EVERY torrent containing this file produces a DVD with only two files on it and it only boots the PC ready to install but it contains no installation files. After 8 different downloads I am beginning to think there actually isn't a Mac install for the PC available at all...

muchlife Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 what hardware do you have? laptop? desktop? is it an OEM machine like dell or hp? custom built? what are your hardware chipsets? what processor model, northbridge, southbridge, audio chipset, network chipset? these things help when you ask advice and can help determine which distro over another to use why do you think you dont already have a working install DVD image? what file extensions are those with only 2 files here is version of iPC 10.5.6 i've used and works great http://www.mediafire.com/?qjqm33mmdgz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209446-where-can-i-get-a-working-install-dvd-image/#findComment-1398184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I have: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ GeForce 8600GT 2GB memory IDE?/SATA drives (will be using dedicated IDE for mac install) The ISO images I download only ever contain these files (yet the image is 4gb): BootHelp.txt, cdboot.pcefi.debug I managed to read the ISO file in an ISO reader which said it was a multi session ISO but only had one session with 2 files in it! So far every Kalyway ISO I have downloaded is the same!!

muchlife Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 1) you can not hit the enter key after finishing a sentance 2) you can hit SHIFT+ENTER to go to next immediate line that iPC disk is not 2 files, i have it on my USB drive, its got several with several folders Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209446-where-can-i-get-a-working-install-dvd-image/#findComment-1398363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfrisky330 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Why does it only show 2 folders on the PC? And (shift+enter cool thanks!) why when I try and boot it does it always say it can't find any folders?? Accidentally I downloaded what I thought was the PC 10.5.2 but it was actual Mac OS disk! And yes that did contain all the folders and it nearly installed (if I had a Mac!) but at least I could see the screens of text appear as it tried to install, unlike the Kalyway ISOs I only seem to be able to get which just say "can't find library/****" Anyway I shall download the link you kindly sent and fingers crossed I could be Mac'ing soon!

Baldman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 i have tried using the iso above and i get a kernel panic as soon as it tries to boot from the osx86 iso. darwin loads fine, but when i get to the point where i insert the osx86 dvd to install it does this... verbose output... standard output... i am running vista x64 and i am trying to install osx86 in vmware 6.5, using the following tutorial... http://iphone-sdk-in-windows.co.uk/?page_id=30 my PC is a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3ghz with 4GB Ram, i can provide detailed information about my hardware if necessary. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209446-where-can-i-get-a-working-install-dvd-image/#findComment-1404311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
