I got Kalyway Leopard 9A527 running on The Intel D975XBX2.

 

Got only one problem with Network (AppleIntel8254XEthernet)

 

The Network Card Adapter show no cable connect.

What is strange is i can use PPPoE connection trought this network card.

Internet is is working with PPPoE but not LAN.

 

 

en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

ether 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

media: autoselect status: inactive

 

 

ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1492

inet 201.xxx.xxx.xxx --> 201.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00

 

 

Anybody got a clue?

 

from dmesg

 

Intel8254x -- Link Down -- 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -- called by interruptOccurred() --

-- Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (04d) = 0xde1

-- Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register (05d) = 0x41e1

Hey Envying - excuse the pun,but I'm very envious of your success...

 

Tried installing 9A527, will not boot up - simply freezes with cursor. I suspect it's a non-Hpet kernel issue - could you possibly PM me the IRC channel? Tried the one recommended on netkas, but all 10.4.* kernels...

 

Dying to get this working!

 

[i must be addicted - just spent two weeks trying to get 10.4.10 working right, much to the annoyance of my girlfriend...) :(

Any of you can help me out with the 9A527 installation? I downloaded the Kalyway image, burned a couple of discs to make sure everything was alright. When trying to boot off the DVD to install, this is what I am getting. I am stuck at this screen. See screenshot above. Below are my specs (trying to install on a PW5 DH Deluxe).

 

Thanks!

UPDATE: I am getting the same message trying to install this on my laptop....What could it be?

 

Anybody could give me some light to my issue??? Does installing 9a527 off a dvd works?

It doesn't look like a HPET issue. What is your partition setting, have you set your osx partition active?

No joy here with a Bad Axe 2 and Q6600.

Install hangs at 100%, mouse and keyboard just pass out and no more activity from anywhere to be noticed. When I try to do a cold boot on this unfinished (is it really?) install I just get the grey screen telling me to restart.

 

I'm giving up for now...

...for now... ;)

Boot with -V to see where it's stuck...

I'm not sure if I'm following you.

It's the install DVD that gets stuck right before it's about to finish the install. It shows 100% but then mouse and keyboard freeze and the install apparently doesn't finish.

Do you mean I should boot the install DVD with -v? Will that get me to a command line based install process?

Yikes, I've never done that before... I need a GUI :rolleyes:

 

EDIT: I did a -v boot of the dodgy install I have now on the HD. It hangs at

Kernel version:

Darwin kernel version 9.0.0b ...........

 

Right before that line there's a whole lot of hex gibberish which I don't have time now to pin it all down. I don't have a camera at hand either to make a pic of the screen. Cool though, I'll just wait for a more mature version.

I'll try that - the problem is that the DVD itself will not even boot (underscore cursor) - had no problem with Jas 10.4.8 - straight up boot from the DVD (then had to sort out a range of kexts, but no sweat)...

@ lord of the viewi got this problem once too, i was missing the BaseSystem.pkg file in my /Library/Receipts folder.What I did was navigated to that folder and there was a .pkg named something with leopard I can't remember the complete pkg name atm. but i made a copy of that, renamed the copy to BaseSystem.pkg, changed the permissions and ownership and ran diskutil to repair permissions and it fixed it.i'll boot into my leopard partiton to give you the name and permissions of that file.@ lord of the viewin /Library/Receipts there was a file named MacOSX_Leopard_9a527.pkg for me. I copied that file, renamed it to BaseSystem.pkg and then running diskutil repairpermissions should set it all right.

OK - some progress! But the plot thickens...

 

By accident, I landed up inserting the install disc after the Bios BOOT menu came up - just then I was distracted by a call, when I came back, press boot - and hey - straight into Darwin (9). What I noticed was that when the disc first went in, there was a lot of disc access, then it wound down - only after that did the boot menu pick up the bootstrap, very odd...

 

OK - installed 100% no problem, when I tried to boot up off the partition (using Acronis os selector) - same problem as I had with the install disc initially - does not even go into Darwin - flashing cursor, that's it. It seems that the problem is with the Darwin bootstrap - os selector did not pick it up as a bootable partition (whilst the 10.4.10 tiger partition - no problem). The files / system is all there on the Leo partition, however.

 

I'm rather stumped, any ideas? Wondering if I would have better luck using Bootcamp or other Mac bootup software? Odd that Tiger worked fine though.

@ missagiawhen your system is booting after the bios screen keep mashing F8 to enter osx boot options, type -v and hit enter this will boot osx in verbose mode rather than the gray screen with the spinning wheel. Reply back with where it hangs.

so you have 10.4.10 and leo installed on the same physical disk? if so I do too just 10.4.9 and leo. it sounds like you can boot into tiger and see the files for leo on your hard drive. when you boot do you get an option to select what partition you want to boot from? if not you may need to set that leo partition active. lots of google sources on how to do that.

I installed Kalyway's Leopard 527 (kernel 9.0.0b5-han:solo-1182~1) and than performed upgrade to 528d with regular software update. I can confirm that works!

 

Hardware:

Asus P5PL2/C + Pentium D 915 (EM64T+SSE3+HPET) + 2GB Dual Channel RAM

Gainward GeForce 7600GT (1280x1024@75Hz, QE+CI works though Natit/Titan)

RTL8111b (works)

Realtek HD Audio (only output through Azzalia)

PATA Quantum 20GB and SATA Seagate Baracuda 250GB (both of them works)

 

I notice that the installation DVD is based on semthex 8.8.1 Tiger kernel (and not on 9.x.x Leo)!? Strange, but I don't care as long as it works.

 

Good things:

* Almost all software I tried worked including: Adobe CS3, VmWare, iWork08, FireFox, Opera, Adium, Azureus, LimeWire, aMule, Skype, OpenOffice, XSlimmer 2.2, SteerMouse, Toast 7 Titanium, Stuffit11, DivX, mPlayer, VLC etc.

* XBench score was higher

* Once booted it's stable

* Leo is real eye candy, and that's all about visible improvements over Tiger ;)

 

Problems (and solutions):

* Drag-and-drop bug in Finder (gone after repairing permissions)

* AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext must be removed in order to decrease CPU temp (at least on my CPU). On Tiger the situation was opposite: without that kext cpu was 10 deg above normal (for thermal monitoring on i945s with Winbond sensor see:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...t=0#entry396686 )

* Sleep locks up the machine

* IDE is blocking boot in very rare circumstances

 

** The most annoying problem so far is lack of compiler and ktrace/kdump:

As I have kalyway dvd without XCode (and compiler) I tried to build gcc 4.2.2 without success, older Xcode 2.4 (and gcc.pkg) won't install. I mounted Tiger disk with installed Xcode 2.4, gcc seems to work but ld (part of cctools) is crashing with message:

 

/usr/bin/cctools/ld: /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.A.dylib load command 6 unknown cmd field

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status.

 

If I try to point to Tiger libs with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, I got "Bus Error". Also tried to build cctools statically without success.

 

**** XCode solution: I downloaded HandyMan 527 dl dvd with XCode 3.0 included and took xcode from there. WARNING: This release has one installation glitch in Dashcode package which can be solved by replacing Dascode.pkg with pkg of the first Dashcode beta, installer does not notice anything. After that install new Dashcode and kill it upon freezing (all files should be installed in that moment).

So im having some problems with my leopard install. Like some others i am missing spotlight icon and drag/copy/paste. I tried repairing permissions with graphical diskutility and in terminal with sudo. This does not seem to fix anything. The same permissions are always wrong (im guessing the ones causing my problems).

 

Any help?

Ok, Lithium, that did solve the Disk Utilities problem, but I still can't boot into it. I'll fight with it later. I can't remember the exact reason. It was loading some kexts, but then gave me a Still Waiting For Root Device error. It is installed on an IDE drive. Would that be the problem? I wouldn't think so, since Tiger worked fine.

A clear screenshot will help out, take a pic! :D

Tell us what is your partition setting on your Hd, looks like you are missing bootloader in your MBR? Do you have two partitions on same HD?

You should boot into single mode to repair your permission of the Leo Partition.

@ lord of the view

 

so your leo worked before but the repair permissions now gives you the waiting for root device error?

 

how many consecutive boots have you got the 'still waiting for root device error'? I had that error a few times I have booted but I think it went away when I rebooted. I have an nforce4 chipset for my sata/ata controller so I installed that patch from the dvd and I think my permissions were wrong on that .kext. so maybe a combo of reboot and permissions fixed that error for me.

 

I am running leo from an ata HD and installed from ata CD-ROM. I believe they're both on seperate channels and set to masters of those channels respectively.

Thanks i will try this when i get home from work. On a side note Kalyway Leopard runs great on my system (minus copy/paste issue). Boots up a ton faster than tiger and windows XP. About 13 secs to get to the login window.

Leopard never worked for me. At first it gave me the "Can't locate boot.com.plist" or whatever error. That's when I noticed the Permissions error. Ok. Here are two screenshots. I am booting with -v -x cpus=1

 

Tiger is installed on the same drive, on it's own partition. It works fine. I installed Leopard with "Remove CPU Power..." and the Azalia drivers.

hmm i'm not sure what that means, when i boot my leo i dont have the lines you have for the com.apple.driver.iTunesPhoneDriver or for the iPodSBCDriver...

 

i'm pretty new to troubleshooting but do you have an ipod or iphone plugged in when you boot? if so try booting with them unplugged. or maybe try installing the usb patch from the leo cd.
