Leopard Perfect Install

[Petro]

Agon, the 9 or 13 MB is the patch required, not the disk!

Agon, the 9 or 13 MB is the patch required, not the disk!

 

So i don't need the 4.3GB thing you were talkin bout?

[Petro]

Agon, you need a patched DVD!

[Agon]

Ok lets try this one last time lol.

 

So far I neeed.

 

A patched DVD (how large is this approximately)

The Kalyway (Already have it , about 200MB)

Pc EFI (Already Have It)

 

The only things I am missing is the BrazilMac, I have one brazil mac that is 13MB, do I need another one.

[Petro]

Yes, you have everything except the patched DVD which is around 4.4 GB.

[Agon]

Yes, you have everything except the patched DVD which is around 4.4 GB.

 

Omg I can't find it, what is the patched DVD named, BrazilMac?

[dustlonely]

Note:

So far there are 10 confirmed people on the forum running 10.5.1 - please read through for various board issues and how they were overcome

 

Thanks - that was great.

 

I managed to get leopard installed - self-booting, from Jas 10.4.8 for the mbr (just used jas because it booted quicker to the installer)

 

I'm going to try to reinstall leopard if I can't manually replace the kernel, I used the brazilmac patch, but

it did not replace my kernel. YIKES!! after 2 hours of install time!!! I should have checked!! and I should have done it manually.

 

so I'm going to boot a 10.4.10 disk to make critical life or death changes to my leopard volume - and get tips from this

follow this wonderful guide of course.

 

FYI

on my machine I had to disable all 3 cores from my quad, disable all cpu features (speedstep, C1E, etc.)

I had one kernal panic too many - so I decided to boot the disk in the bare.

using cpu=1 flag wasn't enough. I used the following flags to boot the dvd

 

-x -f cpu=1 platform=OSX86

 

I know something here may not be necessary but I would not want to wait for 20 minutes before getting the installer screen

and get a panic.

 

I'm really happy this forum exists

I thank all of you for your feedback and ingenuity - this is a dream come true.

hi guys i could use your help on this. with many troubles i managed to install leopard. i used the retail dvd and patched it brazi mac way. then i used the http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...98&hl=p5k-e post patch way since i have the same board. now my system works fine i have a running leopard version. however i would like to do the efi patch thingy so how do i do that? since i already patched my system how do i reverse this step. and most importantly where do i get the efi patch from? any link?

 

hope u guys can help me.

thanks

I have a few questions.

I created a DVD using BrazilMac's patches from a stock Leopard install. ( I have a real mac, but want to upgrade my hackintosh server as well)

I have the kalyway boot disc.

 

Now where do I find the files below?

dsmos.kext

AppleSMBIOS.kext

are they regular files from the stock leopard disc?

 

also will the above method work with the new pc_efi 7?

It said they need to test using it without the kalyway cd, but I already have it so... yeah, will it work?

 

Actually, I guess I cant use a vanilla kernel since I have a Pentium D, not a 'Core' processor.Should I even replace the 2 files?Can I still install efi?

[volta]

hi all... so im having a hard time with this... my leo installation seems to be ok but when i try to boot it goes well till the very moment when the user accounts appear... it hangs on a blue screen with 2 (yes 2) arrow pointers or 1 arrow and 1 spining thing... idk what to do... the only way i can get this thing to work is in safe mode...

 

any help ´?

 

thnks

+1 for getting Leopard installed by this Guide.

 

Now I have a question.

 

My hard-drives are coming up as External & removable on the ICH8R chipset

Basically all my HDD's on orange external icons desktop.

 

Is there anyway I can set these to INTERNAL?

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Ok, here's my rig

 

-10.5.1 Vanilla on BrazilMac & EFI 5.2 patch

-Asus P5B Deluxe

-ICH8R 6 SATA ports

----------------------

Editted

-JMicron JMB363 now works since I set it to IDE in the BIOS. The drives come up as Internal & non-removable.

----------------------

 

In my BIOS, I have ICH8R set to Enhanced - AHCI

I installed "ICH8R Patch Mistico v1.1"

Got all my ports working but everything was Unknown in System Profile until I until Mistiso patch & changed the Device ID

I even set it as Enhanced - IDE and no drives showed up at all. I almost gotta have AHCI for ICH8R because thats how WinXP is setup

 

<key>ICH8MAHCI</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort</string>

<key>Chipset Name</key>

<string>ICH8-M AHCI</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>AppleAHCI</string>

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x28218086</string>

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<integer>2000</integer>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

<key>Vendor Name</key>

<string>Intel</string>

</dict>

 

After Mistro's patch, they would come up as Unknown and now that is corrected but everything is "external"

 

Any ideas how I make it internal instead of external for ICH8R

 

The Pic is on the ICH8R. Help & Thanks!

I have my 10.5 running on a FDISK_partition_scheme

 

Two questions:

1. how do I convert a FSDISK_partition_scheme to a GUI_partition_scheme

2. What I have to to to have my 10.5 boot without giving -f every time on boot ? ( without it would simply restart)

[00diabolic]

Hello,

 

Stuck at blue screen after using this method. Still the closest I have come so far LOL.

 

1. I followed the instructions exactly from Onetracks instructions on my hackintosh (specs below).

 

2. Tripple checked media. I do not have bad burned media as I have 3 discs all produce the same results and were verified with imageburn and Nero and roxio.

 

My problem is i get to a blue screen that does nothing (no mouse even) if I wait my laptop will sit at the blue screen for 10 or so mins and then the monitor turns off and the lights just sit and blink. I have googled this problem and someone on a macbook has the same issue. Located here: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:IpNSE...;cd=1&gl=us

 

Onetrack had actually replied to this thread and provided the answer to this problem I was going to try this fix on my hackintosh (specs below) but when I try to login as single user mode I cant type for some reason it either freezes or locks me out. I can not find any other info on this problem besides it being a possible video issue. However others have x3100 and no issues so I doubt its that.

 

I've also tried -v (verbose) -x (safemode) -s (singleuser) at bootup and none of those have worked. The blue screen happens right at first gui bootup. Nothing is on screen to show what the freeze is comming from.

 

So can anyone here help me? Onetrack? THANK YOU ALL

[anarchy_1024]

cool thanks! another thing i was thinking was maybe the brazilpatched already used something like this. so i was gonna try to copy the ApplePS2Controller from brazilpostpatch extension files. what do you think?

 

That might work... I haven't tried it, yet. I haven't had much time recently.

 

But the site I mentioned earlier (http://tgwbd.org/darwin/extensions.html) says, "With Darwin 8 you merely needed to compile ApplePS2Controller.kext and it would magically work. Now it doesn't. What gives!?" So, unless BrazilMac did something else that got it to work...

 

If I'm reading it correctly, the problem is not with the ApplePS2Controller kext, it's with the extension that the ApplePS2Controller kext connects to. "OS X Leopard was released with an AppleACPIPlatformExpert.kext that did not contain the AppleACPIPS2Nub class." So the problem is with the missing class from AppleACPIPlatformExpert.kext, not the ApplePS2Controller.kext.

 

I think....

I have the same problem with my Dell Latitude D630... I cannot type in OSX or single user mode, after the installation (the keyboard works fine in the installation, though. You're using a laptop (Compaq C712NR), right? Have you tried a USB keyboard? That's the only way I can use Leopard ATM (Tiger worked fine).

 

See my previous post for a possible way to fix the problem.... I haven't tried it yet, though.

 

 

 

I have my 10.5 running on a FDISK_partition_scheme

 

Two questions:

1. how do I convert a FSDISK_partition_scheme to a GUI_partition_scheme

2. What I have to to to have my 10.5 boot without giving -f every time on boot ? ( without it would simply restart)

 

1. When you say 'FDISK_partition_scheme', I'm assuming you mean MBR, and that you want to convert it to GUID, and use PC_EFI? I don't think there's a way that you can just 'convert' the partition schemes; you have to delete all of the partitions, and start over using GUID.

 

2. You can have the system automatically use the -f switch whenever you boot. See http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...he_boot_options and look at <key>Kernel Flags</key>.

Everything seems to go smoothly until I get right near the end where it says to enter this

 

 

cd /Volumes/[usb drive name]/pc_efi [enter]

 

type the following:

./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v5 [enter]

 

 

I'm assuming that you had the boot file in a directory called "startupfiletool" because when entering that exact command it tells me no folder or file exsists, then when I remove that and just type /dev/rdisk0s1 ./boot_v5 it tells me "permission denied".. I have all the boot files right on the root folder of my USB drive, nothing is in directories... I tried restarting and just seeing if it would boot into leopard without this step but it just resets over and over, (im assuming this is normal).

 

Thank you

Hi,

You probably did not unmount your leopard volume.

[xclusivex]

I tried it both Unmounted and mounted.... same thing.

After you do the cd /Volumes/[usb drive name]/pc_efi command, type ls [enter]. This will list the contents of the folder (similar to 'dir' in DOS), and make sure you have a file named 'startupfiletool' and one named 'boot_v5' in that list. Those are actually files without extensions; not folders.

Few questions that may help all newbies out there...

 

1. Will this work with ToH patched with BrasilMac ?

2. What is a GUID partion and how do we create one.

3. Anyone used GUID with a Vista bootmgr on hd0 and hfs+ on hd1 ?

4. Anyone experiences Kernel Panics with ToH at reboot time after the install completes ? I get this right after AppleACPIPlatform - I don't think is a hardware problem, I had a 10.4.6 running fine. Will this KP go away if I apply the BrazilMac patch ?

5. How do we know if efi is correctly installed from a -s boot ?

 

TIA,

Q

 

the ToH installation worked up to the welcome and set up screen, tried to patch Toh installation but didn't work, i wonder if the ToH image itself and not the installation might work if patched with brazilmac patch...but i don't have the Toh img just the iso...i didn't execute EFI...i don't think i need it...

the installation hangs at the setup screen...

[dter]

I've had success with this method (my first hackintosh installation), but am also having the problem with Leopard recognizing all disks as external (yellow icon issue). Has anyone figured out what causes this yet?

 

Thanks!

i think it has been mentioned that it shouldn't hinder performance at all and that you should change the icon image to be something else if it does truly bother you. once again, i *think* i saw somewhere that it doesn't affect anything as far as performance or usability goes, it's just a visual annoyance. i could be completely wrong, please, someone that knows 100%, feel free to interject.

It certainly doesn't seem to affect performance, but it would be nice to know what's causing it.

Move the following to a backup folder

- AppleSMBIOS.kext

- AppleEFIRuntine.kext

- AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext

-clear kext cache

 

reboot in -s mode install EFI and replace the kernel with a vanila kernel... that should do it.

 

Also before these you may want to boot with -f

 

Q

[nicko_029]

I need to move Leopard on the other disk, so I choose to install it again.

 

So, here's the question(s):

 

I have HDD with partitons:

 

-Win XP (30gb, NTFS)

-partiton for leopard (50gb, HFS+)

-storage partiton (220gb, NTFS)

 

So, if I install Leopard with this method, can I be sure that other partitons will remain untouched? Of course, I want to use MBR partition table, and boot Leopard with chain0 method.

 

And, I want to use EFI. Can I use pc_efi_7.3 with MBR partition table, or I have to use 5.2?

 

Thx
