New AMD DVD for leopard

[Yellowtang]

you get help on non-stupid questions and at weird questions that have no answer on the forum or on the wiki... beside some of the question posted in the last 3 pages have been answered more then once in the 96 pages of this topic

 

For my question, i didn´t get an helping answer. And its not in the wiki nor in this topic and from my point of view it´s not stupid at all.

http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?Discussion...p;page=1#Item_3 look here, maybe it will work for you.. if not try Re-Arranging the hard disk and experiment with the jumper settings

if another person wakes up an post something like " i have a prob too its not stupid" or "i didn't found a solution" post you problem again. with you specs and -v picture(only if the problems appears when booting into the dvd or leopard)

help me

I have a problem. Just installed Leopard sucessfully on a seperate IDE hard drive on my PC. Said it needs to reset. Reset, went into the disc and now it's coming up saying "waiting for root decive" to boot up the DVD.

 

Has anyone else experienced this and knows a solution? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Ok. It's working now i've taken out the jumper and set the IDE drive to slave and the DVD drive to master, but it's coming back into the install screen. What do I do next? sorry to be a pain. Just abit clueless when it comes sorting this out.

 

Only thing is now is that the IDE drive is not being recognised in windows with MacDrive 7 which it used to. It's saying the drive is corrput.

 

Also i ran the terminal in the setup and typed "/usr/misc/script.sh", but its saying it cannot be found. Did you ever experience this or know where to find it? Thanks.

Can someone tell me what patches or kexts I would need to apply in order

to get the setup below working properly?

 

Asus A8N-VM 939 Athalon 64

GeForce 6150/Nforce 430

ATA WD 80Gig Hard Drive (Master)

2 x EEC 512MB Ram

Realtek RTL8201CL Lan Card

 

 

I have installed the system to an external drive and can patch

it, but it wont boot. I get kernel panics trying to boot from external and can't

write to the internal drive without io errors.

Thanks!

Hi, I just recently joined this forum, but i have been following discussions for a few weeks.

 

My problem is that during the install it hangs up at about 2 mins remaining. Before you tell me its a stupid question and to check the wiki, you should know i already have and i have tried the solutions there. I have searched through the forums for the past 2 hours trying to find a solution and no luck. I have also tried using 3 different hard drives (2 ide and 1 sata) and still no luck.

 

My processor supports sse3 and i have 2gb of ddr2. I am using zeph's 10.5.1 amd dvd.

Ok...Is your hard drive recognized?. You installed on an external drive, but what messages do you receive installing on your master hard drive?. Describe them a little more...

[twisted_matt]

Right, Leopard installed sucessfully. Reset itself booted up the DVD the 8 second time out came up, booted automatically and now come up with this:

 

 

It just hangs on this and doesn't go any further. I've disconnected my SATA drives and disconnected my ethernet cable from PC thinking it was a problem related to my router, but still no luck. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

[mac_cute]

I've posted several topics on my problems, some have posted supposed solutions, none seemed to help, at all, and some messed everything up.

I totally agree with DoiX...

No problem... give your spec and I am sure that someone will be able to help you...

It will try to boot off of the external drive but it hangs after ocspd. The internal drive gets to diskaribtrationd and then says,

 

"unable to probe /dev/disk0 CoreRaidServer not responding ,IO error"

 

Then more unable to probe /dev/disk0 and IO errors. Then hangs at "Still Waiting for root device". If I boot from install disk, I just get the unable to probe errors but it will boot to the install. When I go to Disk Util the internal drive shows up, but not the partion. It will not repair it. When I go to term to manually mount drive it won't. I've gone to Macdrive in XP and I can read and write both the external and internal hard drive. I can repartition the drive in disk utility but then I loose my filesystem and can't boot. Installer will not install to the internal hard drive. It gets io errors. It will install to the external usb drive. Then I copy it over to the hard drive in macdisk. Sometimes I can have access to the internal when the usb is plugged in and booted off the install dvd.

 

Hope that gives some idea.

Ok...If the solution about hanging at the end of the install from the wiki did not work for you, I remember that maybe should work if you format your partition as HFS+ (journaled), and in "Security Options" the point "Overwrite with zeros". It worked perfect for him: try this and let me know...

Thanks, i will let you know the results, and in the mean time, do you know anyone who has made a really good intel version? I'm planning on installing on a second box, or use one or the other depending on which one works first. I know there are a few different versions, i was just wondering if someone could recommend the most stable one.

[pytqlhga]

I'm not about to read through 96 pages, so can someone please help. When i try to format my partition during install, it says preparing to erase for a long time and then says that the volume erase failed. Can someone please tell me what to do. I'm a total noob

Has anyone gotten this to load on a 1st gen Athlon 64 Clawhammer, with SSE2 support only? I can't even get the disc to boot.

Hello all!

I'm new in osx86 topic and i'm tryin' to run it on my benq p52eg laptop:

Sempron mobility 3400+ (32bit SSE2 + SSE3).

Ati radeon x1150 chipset (SB450 southbridge)

Ati radeon mobility x1600 256MB (pci-e)

HDaudio (also SB450)

1 GB of ram (2x512MB)

80 GB SATA

 

First problem was the SB450 southbrigde, because Installator doesn't detect my Sata disk, so i tried to install in VMware first and then put APPLEVia.kext, but Leopard isn't work for me in that Vmware (Workstation 6.02)

So second idea - install first on external USB drive( Seagate FreeAgent) . There wasn't any troubles in installation (it only takes some more time) and I only had to make it bootable. So I run it and unfortunately it hangs up right after welcome animation (after it i get black screen and waiting cursor). Any ideas for that? Or is it possible to change APPLEVia.kext in installer? Regards @all

[dpace32]

I am having a difficult time trying to get this work on my Dell Inspiron 531 that has an nForce4 chipset, AMD 5000+ and an SATA hard drive. I completely gave up on the SATA drive and am now trying to get an IDE drive to work through USB. When I try to install it this way, the install process gets about 99% done and then wont budge any further. If I shutdown and reboot at this point it says that it cannot find a bootable disk...

 

Since this is an issue trying to get an SATA drive to work and trying to get an external drive to work, would it make sense to get a VIA chipset IDE controller card? Let me know if anyone has had any luck with this setup.

 

Thanks!

I am not very sure, but I think Zephyroth posted once that it is SS3 only. He also invited SS2 to test it. Again, I am not very sure, but in previous pages appears. Make some research here (and reburn your disc at lower speed:just in case...)

rev1 doesn't support sse2 (don't ask why), rev2 will support it.

 

Solution: add a sse2 kernel to the dvd there's guide somewhere in this topic
