Success ! JaS 10.5.4 osx86 Client/Server

[juragan]

After 3 unsuccessful consecutive nights, finally i can accomplish the installation by using JaS 10.5.4 osx86 client/server iso.

 

As you may see my previous posting that I'm able to install but some of the device are not working properly.

 

This time I got it right. Here's the step-by-step:

 

Plug the HDD into the purple SATA

 

BIOS Setting :

Set "Sata Port0-3 Native Mode" = Enabled

Set "OnBoard SATA/IDE Device" = Enabled

Set "OnBoard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode" = AHCI (if you set IDE it will take ages)

 

Put the Installer and reboot.

 

when the boot option shows up, press [F8] and then type -v next to "boot:" and hit [enter]

 

Language selection screen show up, then I select English

 

The Installation Screen - Open the Disk Utility make 3 Partitions with GUID

1st. 250GB - HFS+

2nd. 125GB - HFS+

3rd. 125GB - FAT32

 

Customize option:

- Essential package (default)

- Kernel -> StageXNU

- Chipset Driver -> IntelICHX

- Video -> NVKush

- Audio -> ALC888

- Device Identification -> Generic SATA Drive Icon Fix

- SMIBIOS -> MacPro

- CleanUp (default)

 

and the installation start. it takes about 15 - 17 minutes. dont bother the estimation time.

 

Restart.

 

I got the

! (in various language)

 

 

Sound, Video, WiFi, Bluetooth, Mouse, Keyboard, USB, all working properly.

 

I go straight into the System Profiler and found only 1 wierd device detection. "SATA Unknown AHCI Standard Controller" but still it can detect my HDD.

 

 

Problem that I got is the Ethernet not detected by the system. I tried to look at the .kext file and found that AppleYukon.kext is not there. I was comparing with my other HDD that is already installed Leo Kalyway 10.5.1 upgraded to 10.5.2.

 

What I did is just copy the IONetworkingFamily.kext to /System/Library/Extensions folder and run this command below from the Terminal

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext [Enter]
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext [Enter]

 

Restart. Then to check I go straight into System Preferences, Networking and there you go ! The Ethernet is there, but still mark with red color. Tried to turn off, apply and then turn on, apply again. This time it going green.
