CarmeB Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 so, i think the only thing that remains to have a very powerful Leopard, is to have it on sata drive...

claud3 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 it is possible now but we need to either integrate the new sata driver on an install disc or else install from a separate partition.

muitommy Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 @Jae-V the kext works great, but still a little bit slower than the 7800GTX, but that's good enough:) @insania i suppose we can install the leopard on a sata partition with another leopard installed on a pata, but it's v. troublesome compared to the integrated methods (if that works) , lol @offtopic?! can 680i try to install pcefi, can it be benefited with the patched kernel??? just wonder ...

jjduro Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've miss something....we can install leopard on sata drive????????? HOW?!?!??! please tell me With Kalyway. Just did that on a Asus P5K mobo, with jMicron controller and ATI HD 2600 graphics card. All works well. iAKTOS is just the worst LEO DVD I've ever tried. Keep getting Kernel Panics. The way to choose between EFI and Darwin bootloader is very good, though PS I have now used the new PPF on iAKTOS disk image... Burned it and keep getting endless reboot loops. It is a bit strange on a computar with C2D and that works just fine with Kalyway. I may have done a bad patch... But I don't think so.

tyrion2323 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi Everyone, This is my first post here on OSx86 InsanelyMac. My brother and I currently have MacBooks, and we successfully built a "Hackintosh" on a newly-built system last night Everything is really working out for him (E6600, BadAxe2, 2GB RAM, SATA DVD and HDD). It was surprisingly easy, and we had very little trouble at all. However, we selected all of the parts knowing that we were building a Hackintosh. Well, It got me thinking - perhaps I'd like to ditch Vista and LinuxMint and move fully over to Leopard. I understand that it's going to be different - and difficult! I didn't select my parts for Mac OS-X, and therefore I'm a little afraid! Here's what I have: EVGA 680i LT Motherboard Q6600 Intel Processor 4GB GeIL RAM GeForce 7950GT 3 SATA HDDs 1 SATA DVD Burner I have done quite a bit of searching, and it seems that there has been significant progress in making Leopard work on the 680i based motherboards; however, before I do anything, I'm really looking for a "how-to" guide. I'm certainly no idiot with computers, but I'm smart enough to realize that much of this is way above my level of expertise. I really do apologize - I haven't read this full thread; however, I'm at work at 27 pages of forum is waaay to much for me. Can anyone give me a quick answer: Do I have a chance at running Leopard? If so, is there an easy solution? Thanks guys!

If so, is there an easy solution? Thanks guys! I think there is hope for you. I am currently running Leopard (10.5.0) on my hackintosh, which has similar specs to yours: EVGA 680i Q6600 (using all four cpus) 8800 GTS A cheap network card 80g IDE HD 500g SATA HD The only thing I have not gotten to work fully is writing to the sata drive. I hear tell that there is a .kext that will take care of that, but I haven't investigated it enough to tell. I used .NetRoller3D's guide. If someone has successfully gotten the SATA writing .kext to work, I'd like to hear about it. Otherwise, good luck. If you have a question, I'll do what I can to help. Oh, you'll also need the ToH image of OSX.

tyrion2323 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Dear Kstover, Thank you for your quick response! I'm very excited to be considering this, and I'm hoping that continued persistence on these boards will soon get most things up and running on OS-X. I suppose I always could stick with the ol' Dual Boot, but I certainly love my MacBook. Again, thanks!

Tyler valo Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 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. Anyone know how to get that to work????? I formatted my HD as extended journled (not case-sensitive) and named it OSX. How do I type that command in?

bluraven Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm following this guide but I'm getting stuck at 25% while installing. I have an evga 680i motherboard, E6700 2.66 ghz core 2 duo, 2 gigs of ram. I had JaS 10.4.8 installed and working, I have tried Kallyway, iATKOS, and now ToH RC2. I can get passed the initial boot of the DVD, formatting the HD for HFS Journaled using MBR partition, selecting the things I want installed and the things I don't, then proceeding to the DVD verification (which I skip), then to the main blue bar of installing OS X. My problem is that it seems to take extremely long, longer than it should, and seems like it's frozen but not completely. The blue bar gets about 25% and dosn't ever seem to go any farther, it shows estimated time of 5 hours and 30 mins to install. I've let it sit for 2 hours and still at 25% with no HD activity and no DVD activity, but the blue bar is still swirling and the mouse pointer will still move, and the ETA is still 5 and a half hours. Seems to happen with every install disc I've tried. I'm installing from an IDE DVD drive onto an IDE (PATA) HD. I've disconnected all the SATA drives, turned off the sudgesting things in the bios, and enabled the sudgested things. The install should only take about 20 mins from what I've read, and from what I remember from my experience installing JAS. I verified that my ToH iso has the correct MD5. Any ideas what could be holding my install up? Edit: I swapped out my DVD drive with a different DVD Drive and now it's up to 50% and seems like my drive for whatever reason may have been the issue.

Tyler valo Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 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. 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!) After this point I remove the DVD and it never boots...it just shows a flashing curser on a black screen forever....suggesions?
