Mysticus C* Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 ok the noobs guide is ready, i will post it on the new thread as first post; http://paste2.org/p/13453 if you wanna take a look at it, here it is... new thread will be named as; "Nforce Chipsets: How to install Leo easy and fast" First post will be NOOBS GUIDE Second post will be the guide for patching various versions of iAtkos to make R3 and how to install/what to choose before and after booting... Of cource I wont be able to cover all possible combinations, so other people's post will help get it in good shape later... R3 is almost finished now... I finished one set of sources, and getting ready for R3 so that many of you will be able to install Leo (10.5.1 for now) less painfully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resshin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mysticus, this noob guide is brilliant to those who don't know the basis of mac os, but I don't think that will change the fact that some people don't like to know a thing, they just want to have Leopard running without having any thouble, or giving others the trouble... Anyway good stuff, and nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticus C* Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 writing the guide is finished but editing it a little bit to look ok, and i m sure i made some sentences that wont make sense sometimes... next is preparing the guide for patching and installing... i will hopefull make the guide more graphical, so that people will see actually what to do... what to choose/write etc... so that it will save some headache... some pre cautions: but please keep in mind, that since it will be nforce guide, take into consideration that not all nforces acts the same as the other on different mobo even with the same chipsets... as usual, sata drives will be trouble for some of you, so make sure you keep that in mind! if it doesnt work, than you can always buy a ide hdd/dvd drive... shouldnt cost a fortune.... another big problem as sata drives is network cards, some nforce network cards works fine, other dont, but even the working ones has troubles with stability, including mine... so i gave up and bought a card named sweex lc001 based on rtl8139... not a problem since than... for some of you ps2 keyboards will be problem, so make sure you have a ps2 to usb converter or usb keyboard.... like said before, if you dont wanna learn and want to complain only, head to grocery and buy some apples... and get the vitamins you need without a pain... because in hackintosh, no pain no gain note: there is something on air closer than you think....

peter120 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yeah, my hopes are set pretty high for this one. This is my first post on this forum even though I've been around here for quite some time. And it's all thanks to you Mysticus! You've been able to answer all my questions without me even asking them in the first place I'm running toh rc2 now, but I always run into problems with graphics when trying to get QE/CI to work. Hopefully this will work better with natit/nvinject. Tnx for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gd666gd1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Have the same setup as you do q6600 p5n32esli 2gb ram ide hd 250 sata dvd burner have d/l ToH_x86_9A581_RC2.iso burnt it to disk 4x booted with -v -f -x -legacy cpus=1 all i get is still waiting for root device (needed a ide rom solved). a now i updates the boot config as per instruction. below There is a way to restore the bootloader without wipeing out all your data if you want to try. You need -little bit of skills. -a second installation of OSX that you can boot to (using the DVD) -this files in /usr/standalone/i386: boot boot0 boot1h They must be there in your disk, if not you could get them from any JaS' DVD- -startupfiletool (download it at the end of this posting) The following example asumes you want to make disk0s1 bootable ('1' means first partition. Change the '1' if your install partition is a different one). Boot to your second OSX installation (using the DVD bootloader). From within the terminal do: 1) Update MBR bootloader and flag partition 1 as bootable: CODE sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 fdisk: 1> update Machine code updated. fdisk:*1> f 1 Partition 1 marked active. fdisk:*1> w Device could not be accessed exclusively. A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n] y Writing MBR at offset 0. fdisk: 1> q 2) put boot1h at the beginning of the partition: CODE sudo dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s1 bs=512 count=1 3) copy the startupfiletool to /usr/sbin first,unmount the target partition, and then you execute the command. CODE sudo startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisk0s1 /usr/standalone/i386/boot 4) bless the partition: Mount the partition again and execute the command CODE sudo bless -device /dev/disk0s1 -setBoot -verbose That would do. Reboot without the DVD to try it out METHOD POSTED ORIGINALY BY CRAZOR. Installation: 1. Burn the ToH ISO to a DVD+/-R. (DVD+/-RW is reported to cause problems on other boards, not tested with this one.) 2. Disconnect (or disable in BIOS) ALL SATA hard drives larger than 128 GB from the motherboard. Otherwise Setup will hang. (You can reconnect them once Setup is complete, but you won't be able to use them from Leopard until a new AppleNForceATA.kext comes out. Installation from SATA DVD works fine.) 3. Go into BIOS and set these options: * HPET: Enabled * NoExecute: Enabled (recommended, but possibly not required) * Limit Max CPUID to 3: DISABLED, otherwise the DVD won't boot. * Onboard LAN: Disabled (known to cause strange problems for some people during setup, can be re-enabled after installation) * Onboard IEEE1394: Enabled (again, to avoid setup problems) 4. Boot from the DVD. Press F8 when it asks you to do so (but not earlier, as that will prevent booting!), and enter the options "-x -legacy cpus=1" (you might also add the graphics mode if you want). 5. When it is loaded, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 6. Create/format a HFS+ Journaled partition. (Double-check that you have selected MBR as the partitioning mode!) 7. Quit Disk Utility and install Leopard. 8. When installation is complete, reboot from the DVD with the same options as before. 9. Open Terminal and do a Bootfix (omit "sudo" from the commands listed on that page and use "/usr/misc/startupfiletool" instead of just "startupfiletool"). Don't close the terminal window yet. 10. Execute the command "cd /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions; mkdir backup; mv NVDAResman.kext backup" (replace "Leopard" with the name of the volume you installed Leopard on). Hint: if you used the non-case-sensitive version of HFS+, you won't have to deal with capitals - except for the volume name. 11. Remove the DVD and boot into Leopard with the options "-v -legacy cpus=1" (Don't use the option -x, or Setup will keep looping at the migration step!) 12. Go through the setup assistant. (Don't forget to set a password, or Sudo will break!) 13. When you boot into OS X for the first time, add "-legacy cpus=1" to your com.apple.Boot.plist. 14. Now let's enable QE/CI. (This is for nVidia cards.) Install either Natit or NVInject. (Titan might work as well, while MacVidia will simply give you an invalid resolution, possibly breaking your screen if it's a CRT!) 15. Open System Profiler and find out the device ID of your card. 16. Open Terminal, use the command "sudo -s" or "sudo bash" to go superuser, then then execute the following command: "cd /System/Library/Extensions/NVDA<type of yout VGA>HAL.kext/Contents; nano info.plist" ("type of your VGA" is NV10 for GeForce 2 and possibly GeForce 4 MX, NV20 for GeForce 3 and maybe 4, NV30 for GeForce FX, NV40 for GeForce 6 and 7, and NV50 for GeForce 8, which will require NVInject, as Natit doesn't support G80) 17. Go to the line with lots of device IDs (under "IOPCIPrimaryMatch") and remove all of them so that only "<string></string>" remains. 18. Type your device ID in the form "0x<device ID from System Profiler>10de" (without quotes). I used a GeForce 7600GT and I got 0x0391 from System Profiler, so I had to enter 0x039110de. 19. Press Ctrl+X, press Y, then Enter (Return). 20. Type "cd ../../backup/NVDAResman.kext/Contents; nano info.plist", then do steps 16 to 19 again. 21. Type "cd ../../../GeForce.kext/Contents; nano info.plist", and repeat steps 17 to 20, looking for "IOPCIMatch" this time. Don't close Terminal yet. 22. Fire up Marvin's AMD utility. Choose the action "Patch all binaries", click Browse, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/backup, click Select, and then click Run. It will fail, don't worry, this is normal. Don't close AMD Utility. 23. Choose the action "Patch all cpuid's using cpuid file", deselect the "Simulation" and "Undo" checkboxes. Click the first Browse button, navigate to your desktop, and look for "AMD.Patch.Folder". Enter that folder, then go into the subfolder with the latest date/time in its name. Select cpuid.txt from that folder. 24. Click the second Browse button, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/backup, select the folder and click Run. 25. Once CPUID patching is done (you can now close AMD Utility), go back to Terminal and type "cd /Systen/Library/Extensions/backup; cp -R NVDAResman.kext .." (you might use mv instead of cp). 26. Execute the command "cd ..; chown -R 0:0 NVDAResman.kext; chmod -R 755 NVDAResman.kext; cd ..; rm Extensions.mkext" 27. Repair permissions and maybe update prebinding, then reboot. You should have QE/CI and resolution switching enabled. However, you have just broken shutdown. If you try to shut down OS X, it just hangs. So let's fix it. 28. Extract Golden.zip to your desktop. Be careful not to extract to a"Golden" subfolder of your desktop, put the files there directly! 29. Open 9a581PostPatch.sh in TextEdit, and replace all instances of "XXX" with your short username. 30. Open Terminal, execute "sudo -s", enter your password, CD to your desktop, then execute the command "./9a581PostPatch.sh". When it asks you whether to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, you can choose anything, as the kext will be overwritten later. (This is needed for dual/quad-core.) 31. Mount the 10.5.1 update DMG. 32. Open MacOSXUpd10.5.1.pkg in Pacifist 2.5.1. 33. Select and install everything except what I have listed below: so iam stuck on step 11 all i get is a grey screen and a mouse courser any ideas?

Mysticus C* Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 last time i heard that there was no DVD .... the problem is not DVD we have one already making patch on existing ones so that it will have the install option as well for nforces as well as some other extra options that it will be able to boot in many trouble mobos... we are almost done... there were many small typo glitches we are testing, so that u wouldnt wipe out ur hdd... fingers crossed... @gd666 pls just post the link to the original post next time, not the whole post pls... dont get me wrong, i really appreciate it... it s indeed very useful!!!

Mysticus C* Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 any modification to the NforceATA kext? dude do you understand the part that I do not make nforceata.kext it s medevil in the hardware/drivers section i know you are lazy to read so here is the link for the nforceata.kext http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77071 and the guy is named MeDevil: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showuser=71883 go talk to him in his topic, and explain him your problem, or just PM him... last time I am telling you, I am not the guy to solve your particular problems... I am telling you where you can find the answer for it, and already explained the situation for nforce chipsets do not have propar support, and sata drivers are working fine in one system but not in the other.... since there is no offical driver for nforce from NVIDIA, all you can do is to ask to people who are trying to make a working driver... what we/I are doing here is to combine everything we know about nforce chipsets and put them into a one dvd that will solve majority (pay attention majority! not every single one) of the problems. All i can do for your particular problem is to direct you to the source where the nforceata driver came from, yet I did it before and you swear at me, now back again asking help... I am sure you will swear again and take off again... good luck in your quest to find a solution to your particular problem... or go check HCL list and buy one mobo that works for everything... for others: Can you smell something so close on air?

Mysticus C* Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 If everyone approves in the team, tomorrow may be the day... Also sources are ready as well... Only thing is that adding the guide... while people are getting the stuff from the sources, i will finish the install guide... So everyone can enjoy it.... Like i said before, please be understanding even if the dvd doesnt work for some of you immidiately (meaning sata dvd drives or hdds...) there is definetely a solution, just we need to be patient and kind to eachother... The rest is easy... Wait is over.... (note: this is stil 10.5.1, not the new 10.5.2, bcoz it s just came out, and not mature, people are having many problems with it, until everything is figured out, it may not come just as it is, bcoz it may just add more trouble to already list of current troubles. i hope we understand this part, we do not need to rush to it, unless there is a spesific need. than it is personal...)
