creadivex Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Run an MD5 hash check on the ISO, or burn it slower (much slower). i got it working and it says that the install was a sucess, but on my next restart, it just brings me back into the installer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If you're using an RW (as in, the same disk each time) it's likely scratched - but I dunno how else you can corrupt a disk. Try burning at like 2x, although it's suspicious if it's failing at precisely the same point every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kombucha Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You're saying it finished installing, and you're restarting back to the install screen? Did you take the disk out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creadivex Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You're saying it finished installing, and you're restarting back to the install screen? Did you take the disk out? when i take the disk out it just says b0 error adn nothing happens how do i make the partition map GUID mine defaults to the other one.

dan P Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 kombucha, For my WiFi card, here is the info. PCI\VEN_14E&DEV_4311 And here is my audio. HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7690 Wow, now that I am back on Vista, I notice how much faster OSX boots and feels. I have not done any benchmarks though. Well, back to OSX it is for me.

creadivex Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 hey can anyone double check something for me. i am unable to boot into osx without the installer dvd. when i go to system preferences then startup disk, only network startup appears. is this a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan P Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I also only see the only option there is Network Startup. But mine boot fine without the DVD. Try booting from the DVD and once the menu appears, go to Tools (I think) and select Disk Utility, select your disk and click on Repair Disk Permissions. There are other ways to do this, but that is the way I prefer. Maybe because I am coming from windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks for the info Dan... I misread your first post and thought you had the BroadCom ethernet (wired) card working, not the Dell 1490 (I may have to pick that up...) Also, is there more to your soundcard's address? For instance, mine is the same as yours for what's there, but goes on: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7690&SUBSYS_102801C2&REV_1022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creadivex Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 when i go to disk utility in applications and try to either read or repair the disk permissions for my hard drive, it just pauses about a quarter of the way through. does this happen to anyone else?

dan P Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 kombucha, The rest of the string does match. I did want to say, I am still have some audio issues like the others. Mute does not work and when I plug in headphones, the speakers do not mute. I think the issues are related. creadivex, Have you tried it from the DVD yet?

kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bummer... those slight variations are unfortunate, since those with my card can't get any sound whatsoever. Damn you, Dell! Thanks for the info, though! Good luck getting your own issues resolved - hopefully one day all D620s can unite in their functioning glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Alas, I tried the two precise files you used for the sound card to no avail. It can't find ...in or ...out things (I forget what they are now). Ah well, I'll try Kalyway if things look good. Now I need to get my Wacom working... (which I guess is just to install drivers... once some internet works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm probably being dumb as hell here, which is why I'm not starting a new thread, but the 3.5gb Kalyway zip extracts to a 386mb iso in Windows... do I have to burn with an existing OS X install? Is there some crazy compression going on that I should know about? Or perhaps just a file system difference? Should I actually be good to go with this seemingly-tiny iso? I booted off the disk but it wouldn't start beyond the "Press F8 blah blah" screen... what did you use for startup commands, Dan? Just "vanilla cpus=1"? None of those other crazy letters (x, v)? I guess I'll try again tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan P Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I remember there were some issues with the filesize of my iso as well, but it burned anyways. When I booted from the cd, I used only the vanilla option. You could also use -v vanilla, if you wanted to see what is loading. After the installation was complete and I was booting from my HD, thats when I used the cpus=1 option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Did you burn it onto a DVD-R or a CD-R? I put it on a DVD-R even though it's so tiny... but how could OS X fit on a CD????Trying to start with -v, I see that it starts loading files and then goes back to the boot menu.Perhaps I'll start a new thread for support. EDIT: Ah - it looks like it is an extraction issue. Apparently people had problems using WinZip, so I'll try IZArc or WinRAR. EDIT2: Yep, testing with IZArc says that the ISO has a problem. {censored}. EDIT3: StuffIt Expander for Windows saves the day! A full-fledged 4.37gb ISO! Very bizarre.

kombucha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 {censored}, no luck. Are you sure those are the two files you used, Dan? I'm using exactly the same ones (Sigmatel9200.txt, v1.20) and here's where I get to: Patching AppleHDA.kext to 0x83847690 Done * Checking AppleHDA for patch Done 0001f4a7 cmpl $0x83847690,%eax 0002058b cmpl $0x83847690,%eax * Checking for SPDIF Out Not Detected * Checking for SPDIF In Not Detected If you look at the Sigmatel9200.txt file, it references a different PCI address than I have. Therefore, I found a codec dump with my address (Stac9200-h.txt) but I get precisely the same error. That said, I now have Kalyway installed instead of Uphuck, if that means anything, so at least we're fully on the same page. And installing my Wacom tablet could not have been easier. Thumbs up. But I need sound working before I invest in a wifi card. Also, lol at censoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well, I went and got my own codec dump and now it can detect SPDIF Out, which is all I'm guessing I care about... but the patcher never progresses past the next step. I'll ask elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uax86 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 i have kalyway 10.5.1 installed and working, but i can only boot it off the disk. in order for the bootloader to work, i need to change my partition setup to GUID. does anyone know how to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hmm... I accidentally used GUID earlier today and just reinstalled as MBR to fix it... so maybe just take half an hour and reinstall it, choosing GUID in the installation options (which is default, I believe)... There's probably a better way to do it, but this way is very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably a better way to do it, but this way is very easy. what exactly happened when you used mbr instead of guid. i had guid installed before and now i have mbr, and with both of them i was missing a bootloader. it says that my hard drive is configured as mbr in the disk utility, but when i install the mbr bootloader i still need the disk to boot. i think that if i change the partition map to guid and install the guid bootloader it will work, but i dont know how to change the partition map to guid.

kombucha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's what I do, if it helps. I install Leopard with MBR, and then I install GRUB to MBR on top of it. GRUB then points to my Windows XP install as well as my Leopard install; it is the bootloader that points to Windows' bootloader and Leopard's bootloader. It works like a charm, let me know if you need further details if you want to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kombucha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You can still try installing GRUB, and just using it to boot OSX. The menu.1st file entry would be something like rootnoverify (hda0,0) chainloader +1 boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
