slimsantas Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 anyone aware of this? Below i c&p'd the info from the place i found it from Ladies and gentlemen, ToH brings the latest and greatest from Apple to your PCs. This is the first public release candidate (RC2) of the Install Kit of Mac OS X Leopard for grey X86 PCs. Because of the above mentioned reason, it lacks some things. Those features will be added via PPFs. Therefore, INTEL PC users can download and install it as it is, while others can get it and wait for the PPF. What it can do: -Run on INTEL SSE2 and SSE3 machines -It might upgrade OS X Tiger X86 to Leo X86 -It has support for NoNX/NoHPET/etc -The kernel can work on AMD machines -It has all the languages and printer drivers What it doesn't do: -It's not yet ready for AMD machines, because of missing decrypts -It doesn't have all the patches you used to find on the old OSX86 DVDs A PPF should be out in a day or two which will add AMD support and other goodies, so all can enjoy them. Notice: To the would-be users: This DVD should only be used to preview Mac OS X Leopard. If you really like Mac OS X Leopard and you want to use it, you should get a real Mac. If buying a real Mac is too much, you can, at least, buy a license for Mac OS X Leopard. www.apple.com To Apple: Think of this as of a demo version and as of a free marketing campaign. Therefore, let it be . Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68599-toh-x86-9a581-rc2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conroe Mac Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have not see that. Could you pm me a hint about where I might find it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68599-toh-x86-9a581-rc2/#findComment-487770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.nub Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 That DVD was removed from the place it was origionally posted to, as it did not work. Currently if you want Leopard, you have to do the patching yourself, like I did. ~mac.nub Edit: Apparently they then decided to re-up it because it now works? Odd that they didn't change the build to RC3... as RC2 originally didn't work.

Conroe Mac Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks mac.nub and congrats on your recent release. I have not tried it yet, but I've heard good things =) Don't let the noobs grind you down, I see your thread is getting hammered.

Odd that they didn't change the build to RC3... as RC2 originally didn't work. I have tried your 10.4.10 release and have had good luck with it ... I've also tried this 10.5 BrazilMac SL DVD. After many failed attempts I got it working on my laptop a Toshiba P200 RT1 -It only seems to like a clean partition -The main problem after installing is that it wouldn't boot. Just a blinking cursor in the top left corner. To resolve it I made another partition and installed mac.nubs. Then I use F8 on boot up and can switch to leopard partition. I tried using the fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0, flag 1 to switch boot partition but it just went back to the flashing cursor. A reliabe fix for this boot issue is needed to cut down on a lot of extra work. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68599-toh-x86-9a581-rc2/#findComment-488522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using the fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0, flag 1 to switch boot partition but it just went back to the flashing cursor. A reliabe fix for this boot issue is needed to cut down on a lot of extra work. Any ideas? The problem is that the Leopard disc writes an efi bootloader, not the traditional MBR bootloader that we need on our BIOS hardware. The easiest but somewhat time-consuming fix is to install Tiger first, as it will write the proper bootloader, then install Leopard overtop of Tiger. Alternately you could make the partition bootable, but I've had some problems making it work on my machine. Check this thread out for details on how to make a partition bootable under OS X: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry449623 That link should point you to macGarcha's post, which has the steps for making a partition bootable.

SA22C Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Anyone seen a standalone kernel + updated kext package of ToH, got the retail copy of Leo, don't need a 4GB torrent. You can download the kernel from the regular places on IRC. As for the .kexts, I do believe that they were posted to osx86scene in the forums. I'm using the BrazilMac disk and .kexts right now and loving it. Leopard works damn well on my notebook, except that it won't sleep. I am using the ToH kernel though, as it's newer and presumably a little more stable. I was having some kernel panics on shutdown with the kernel that came with the BrazilMac disc.

aboldinu Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The easiest but somewhat time-consuming fix is to install Tiger first, as it will write the proper bootloader, then install Leopard overtop of Tiger. Would this still involve first erasing the tiger partition via disk utility in the leopard installation? Or doing archive and install? or..?

schut Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The install was easy, but I am getting bootloader problems even after running the "=FIXBOOT=" I can't seem to load the bootloader, and get stuck on the final screen of my bios startup.
