SMF Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 swag01, I hope you enjoy your holiday. Here's my crashlog for asr. Nothing jumps out at me but then that's not suprising. When do you think you will be back online?

Dense Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Move back to ditto, asr isn't good for that section of the script. Unfortunately you lose the progress bar but the actual performance in the copy is identical. Worth trying is to remove the -update-bless, thats not valid anyway.

SMF Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Dense, I tried removing the -updatebless but have the same error. I saw your post in the osx86scene forums - have you posted your script file anywhere?

Dense Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Dense, I tried removing the -updatebless but have the same error. I saw your post in the osx86scene forums - have you posted your script file anywhere? Thanks, SMF Not trying to derail this thread but i'll quickly answer your question. My script isn't ready due to the last remaining problem. I don't have compatibility on 10.4 due to a problem with a compiled version of Xar. Running the script from 10.5 works perfectly. Once I get this issue resolved (have already emailed the main Xar developer) i'll be releasing my script for testing.

herbalb Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It seems I have the same problem as mentioned before My OSInstall-Folder is only 2.78GB as I deleted everything as you did, too.

swag01 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi All; I'm back... It seems many people are having problems with asr. It is actually used by apple to create restore dvds so it is odd that it isn't working. Asr, in the mode it is running, copies block by block to the target so it keeps the data integrity. I chose asr because ditto had problems copying attributes directly (permissions, hidden files, etc...). At least with BrazilMac's script. Since this doesn't seem as compatible, I'll work the script back to use ditto and this might get people around the problem. Herbalb, did you adjust the DVDSIZE to 4482? That could fix your problem. You got the error that there isn't enough space on the target. So, asr didn't copy. Thanks Update: I've attached the ditto version of the script to this thread. Please give it a try. It's called 9a581-ditto-patch.sh. I also updated the DVDSIZE to 4482 and APDIR to current directory so you don't need to modify these parameters. By the way... It seems that the original script is working for some people so I would recommend trying that one first. 9a581_ditto_patch.sh.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72180-leopard-installer/page/3/#findComment-517945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get some type of prebinding error and was told to ignore them on brazilMac's install so give it a try. Also, mount the LeopardFinal.dmg and see if it has data in there. Also, you might use a dvd-rw so if you have problems you don't have to waste a bunch of dvd's. I don't know what your hardware is, but the next issue you might have is hardware which isn't compatible. I have an intel machine with a 975x chipset so I'm pretty core to what apple is providing. Anything outside of this, will require tweaking the dvd per your needs.

herbalb Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Many thanks. The problem is, that I have to get everything right beforehand because I ordered a new Mobo (Gigabyte P35-DS4), CPU (e6750) and GPU (Geforce 8800GTS 320MB G80) and after I installed that hardware (hopefully I will receive everything tomorrow) I won't have a PC to do any more tweaks as the one I am using right now will not be anymore. I will only be able to use my old PC (quite slow PIII 500 MHz with XP, no DVD-Burner) to get access to the Internet. Would you advice to change or delete some of your kext-files in the extensions-folder before patching?? I only thought of adding two more kexts for onboard sound (the versions of ALCInject.kext and AppleHDA.kext that work with ALC889a) and one for the onboard ethernet (RealtekR1000.kext) in the extensions-folder of your patcher to get those added to the DVD. I hope the graphic card will not cause too much problems but I found a pkg-file for it here and alternatively an installer at mac.nub. Could I rename the Installer to "Natit.pkg" and replace the one from your folder with this one or would this be a bad idea? And one more question. If I somehow manage to install Leo I guess I will still have to execute the 9a581PostPatch (with the same kext-files I used for this DVD) from BrazilMac, right?

If I somehow manage to install Leo I guess I will still have to execute the 9a581PostPatch (with the same kext-files I used for this DVD) from BrazilMac, right? I would recommend that you look at the P35 chipset thread. I know many people have been adding the specific hardware requirements to some package. If this is the case, all you need to do is to put the package they create and make some minor modifications to the OSInstall.mpkg by adding this package. One thing to keep in mind is the packages I created also fix the boot issue, so you need to make sure that is on there. If you give me all the kext's and kernel (if needed), I can create a package for you, but I won't be able to test it. Let me know if you want efi or non-efi. non-efi will need a kernel. Also, any kext's you put in the Patch_Folder/Extensions folder, will be replaced on the DVD which aids in the booting of the installer (doesn't help patching the installed leopard). So, if you know what those are, just replace/add them as needed to make the dvd installer work. And, no, you don't need to run the post patch. The package I created automatically patches the system, so once you run the installer, you should be able to boot into leopard. No extra steps. I provided two formats. One is the efi 5.2 version (heard there is a efi 6.0 out there now) and the other is the patched kernel version. I'm currently running the efi version without any issues. For my system which is a 975x, I only needed the SMBIOS and dsmos kexts. Everything else is running core. One note... I was just looking to see what efi version 6 of efi brings and you might want that one. It appears netkas has worked his magic and add full support for 8800 geforce graphics cards via the efi. So, this means you wouldn't need to install netkas or any other graphics card patcher. Great stuff. I might consider the graphics card just to get this. But, ouch!!! so expensive. He has provided support for other graphics cards too.

You'll need to copy these from the original leopard dvd and then prune them back (Watch copying over my OSInstall.mpkg otherwise you will have the original mac one). The script replaces what you have there on the patched dvd. Once you get that fixed, maybe the other error will go away.

SMF Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 swag01, I think I missed that step (obviously) - the /Patch_Folder/OSInstall folder only has those four packages in it. Isn't that data on the sparse image? Do you mean that I have to go back to my original Leopard DVD and copy the packages over (ignoring things like the languages, etc...)? UPDATE: I put all the packages into the OSInstall folder (minus the languages) and created the DVD. I got the same error as before but now have a nearly 4.2GByte image when mounted. I'll burn it to the DVD+RW and let you know how far I get now. My original plan was to just see if I could get it to install or get close and then start looking at custom packages for my system (Gigabyte P35-DQ6) Thanks, SMF Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72180-leopard-installer/page/3/#findComment-518240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMF Yes, it is, but I chose to write over what was on there over just replacing to prevent disk size problems. If you look at a few threads back, I listed what I included in my OSInstall directory. If you just include what I specified, then it should provide you the basics needed to run in english. It only leaves around 200 Meg extra for other items.

SMF Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 swag01, We're posting at the same time...I have a little over 250Mbytes left on my disk. I'll work with what I have and start adding more as I learn. I just checked the IRC channel and didn't see efi v6.

I agree, it isn't on the irc. It is on Netkas' website. Also, for some reason his link doesn't work so I found it on another thread in insanelymac. I think it is in the thread which has been been made a "sticky" titled "Leopard Perfect Install". I tried the boot_g7 and it didn't work on my 7900 GS.

herbalb Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The link from netkas' site works if you put a "/" right before pc_efi_v6. Hope this helps others getting that file, too.

SMF Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 swag01, Well I burned the DVD - boy it boots a lot slower than a now RW DVD - and then got stuck with a still waiting for root device hang. I guess I need to work the kexts for booting to match my system better.

I guess I need to work the kexts for booting to match my system better. SMF Yeah, it is slower. I've been trying several things to fix the Extensions.mkext problem. I've tried replacing it with one I extracted out, but it didn't help. Either the system locked up or it ran the mkext builder anyway. It really seems only about 30 seconds to build the extensions.mkext. The remainder of the time is slowly moving trough loading the network .... etc. At least we don't need to run this all the time. Two things you could possibly need to update depending upon your hardware: 1. mach_kernel --> if you don't have an SSE3 machine, you'll need to get the kernel which works. 2. Extensions --> any extensions you need, you'll need to add to the Patch_Folder/Extensions folder. They get replaced with the ones on the dvd.

I have a hunch it's my JMicron controller. Can I use Tiger extensions with LEO or should I get the JMicron extension off the DVD and make sure the device ID for my controller is in the file Thanks, SMF Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72180-leopard-installer/page/3/#findComment-518572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
