koolkiwikat Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Dammmm it.....did the TOH install via guide on the 1st post.....took 2hrs to install? whats with that taking so long??? Wheres the link to rebuild another install DVD with added kext tweaks for my hardware? Also dudes....tweaked kexts from 10.4...can they be used in 10.5? If you can....I guess I could rebuild a mint running system on 10.4...then reuse the kexts for 10.5 via building a tweaked install dvd? Someone tell me im not dreaming!!!

bluraven 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? I am stuck at that point too, after getting to step 11 of the guide, right now. I think it's because the bootloader does not get installed when installing from the ToH disc, from what I gather. I thought that doing the "bootfix" step was supposed to fix this? Maybe I did something wrong in those steps? I found a "Format and Make Bootable HD" disc by kalyway that I'm about to try. I read that you possibly have to install tiger first to get a bootloader installed, then install leopard on top of that. I'm guessing that preperation disc would install a bootloader then I can install ToH on top of it. I'll let you know how that goes. My ToH took about 3 hours to install too, dont know why its taking so long, and I'm bummed that I'll have to sit thru another 3 again to try this but here goes Edit: I decided to give Kalyway another shot, it does indeed install the bootloader but I made the mistake of selecting vanilla kernel (later read that our chipset needs modified kernel) and it's stuck in a reboot loop. I'd reinstall Kalyway again without vanilla but it took over 10 hours and I don't want to wait that long again. Think I'll stick with ToH it only takes 2.5 hrs. Maybe now that the HD has a bootloader from kaly on it, I can install ToH ontop of that to get a working install.

claud3 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 bluraven do you have a really slow iode drive with like 2mb cache? try installing kalyway again but avoid the vanilla kernel. The vanilla kernel will definately not work!

demonfox13x Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 im having a problem with my usb devices not being recognized when i plug them in (iphones, usb sticks).

bluraven Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 bluraven do you have a really slow iode drive with like 2mb cache? try installing kalyway again but avoid the vanilla kernel. The vanilla kernel will definately not work! Come to think of it, yes LOL. It was a 40 gig HD I had pulled from my Tivo when I upgraded it's HD so it's probably slower then dirt because it's designed for slow video streaming and constant use lol. I'll either have to try to get sata working or get a better HD. Is there any benefit to using kalyway leopard over ToH? I have ToH installed and working right now. I had to use Kaly's format and make bootable disc first, then installed ToH on top of that, then I was able to skip the "boot fix" part of the guide and still be able to goot it up from the HD without the DVD in the drive. Now, however I'm stuck at the Marvins AMD Utility thing. It creates the log file inside that AMD.Patch.Folder on my desktop but dosn't create the CPUID file inside it, so I can use it to patch. Maybe that dosn't matter though because I have it recognizing my GeFore 7950 GT and QE shows supported and CI shows hardware accelerated! Yipeee Now to fix sound and networking Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/22/#findComment-558996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting the "still waiting for root device" message, make sure you have the jumper on the back of the dvd drive set to Slave and the hard drive set to Master. Don't use cable select, it seems to cause that error, at least that's what it turned out to be for me. The AppleNForceATA.kext simply lets you use SATA drives in addition to PATA.

bunzybud Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi, this my first post on this site. I have been triyng to install leopard on my PC for a while now. First using iatkos then kalyway without success. I really dont like the idea of downloading again a few GB for the Tiger OS then update to Leopard. Claud3, I have a IDE(PATA) HD that will be used stricly for this OS but for the rest our hardware is basically the same. If I get ToH_x86_9A581_RC2.iso, will it work right off the bat? Is there anything special i should do? Is the patch for the gforce 8800 included in the package or should I get any other patches? (I dont need SATA). Thanks, Motherboard: EVGA nForce 680i SLI Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz Video: EVGA Nvidia 8800GTS 312mb RAM: 2GB DDR2 800 HDD: 2x IDE Maxtor drives OS: Windows XP SP2, (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1) I wish! Still in the works: kalyway dvd booted once, now crashes rep Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/22/#findComment-567522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
