roidm Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 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...) Yo´re right, people with SSE2 processors must inject a sse2 kernel into the ISO with transmac (windows) and reburn...the kernel can be found in the irc.osx86.hu #10.5 room Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73524-new-amd-dvd-for-leopard/page/78/#findComment-587965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauℓzurrr. Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 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'm using the same setup, I needed to install tiger after I installed leopard to make it boot able on my USB drive, for the SATA part we'll need to wait for rev2 or you'll need to inject MeDevil's SATA Driver yourself which I couldn't get working, let me now if you need to know anything else Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73524-new-amd-dvd-for-leopard/page/78/#findComment-587973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_cute Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 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. Sorry man,I can not help you with this!:all my 3 machines are AMD based. Depending on what is your Intel machine,to find a "really good Intel version" is hard and almost all versions have some issues to care about. Resume: a perfect install depends on what hardware do you have (and certainly some luck too!, lol) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73524-new-amd-dvd-for-leopard/page/78/#findComment-587990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpet Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just a quick note that nearly everything hardware-wise is running well on my AMD Hackintosh, hardware info in my sig. For the forcedeth LAN freeze issue, I ended up just buying a $5 Ethernet Card from Frys. I now have both my cores running 8). The only thing that bugs me is that i can only use USB 2.0 items with legacy support disabled in BIOS, which makes it annoying if i need to use boot options.

karlo123 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 installed perfectly with the 8800gts 640 drivers. Mounted all my NTFS partitions, on multiple SATA and regular ATA drives. Even my two screens even worked out of the box, couldn't be more happy! Just had a bit of trouble getting vistas boot manager to boot both of them.

mac_cute Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 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 About the hanging, I do not know what is your diagnostic at boot, but it seem that you may have a kernel panic due to your video card. The best thing that I would do is inject the ISO with the appropiate or lastest kext that match and support your spec (chipset,video card) and reburn your disc. I think it is a better way to do it...

Timmie6845 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 This is rather bizarre. Just for the hell of it i tried zeph's amd disk in an intel machine, and it worked perfectly. i only need to fix the wifi card and the sound. i had the same problem where no matter what i did it just stayed at 2 mins remaining, but i aciddentaly let it boot without the disk in the drive, and it works. Anyone have an explanation for why zeph's disk works in my intel machine but not my amd? intel specs: Pentium D 2.6G6HZ 512mb ddr2 VIA P4M890 VIA8237R+ chipset (wasnt sure so i copied from manufacturers site) using onboard 64mb memory amd specs: Athlon 64 x2 tk-53 (1.7ghz, 2x256KB L2 cache) ati radeon xpress 1100 2gb ddr2 both installs were attempted on an external 20gb ide hd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73524-new-amd-dvd-for-leopard/page/78/#findComment-588744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some new news from the front: When I tried to boot with -x -v platform=X86Pc i got screen to plug my keyboard, and when tried to boot with -s to go to console it stops on that error: ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure. So I'm gonna to do this what you wrote (what utils I need?) but I'm thinking how to solve this problems above (is there any kext for it?) Thanks for advice.

Dirk Gently Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi Everyone - I'm truly overwhelmed by the amount of support regarding Zeph's Leopard. I've gotten really far weeding through the many many posts. Thanks to all who contributed. Alas - I've hit a wall. I'm triple booting Linux / Vista / Leopard. Leopard installed fine after a few tries. I got the kernal panic on boot, but -x works to get me to the looping keyboard configuration screens. ( I don't have Tiger to transfer data from.) Using the flag "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" per the wiki gets me to the first prompt about not being able to create an account but not to the desktop. After selecting okay - it just goes to the grey screen with spinning beachball. I've also tried unplugging the ethernet cable and disabled the 1394 in BIOS with no effect. So the question is, is my only option to install Tiger first? Processor: AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ Graphics: nVidia GeForce 6150 LE Thank you for any info!

It (in itself) has never caused a stall and I've never had a problem using firewire. I think your hang is being caused by something else... I don't think running "full secure" on the 1394 port is "a bad thing".

cgsheen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm triple booting Linux / Vista / Leopard. Leopard installed fine after a few tries. All installed on the same disk? (You probably need to supply a lot more info on your hardware and how you've done your install. Once you've gotten an "Account Creation" hang, it's almost impossible to get past without a completely clean re-install. I've been most successful when I re-partition (completely erasing) the install drive. I always use a seperate drive for OSx86.) I've also tried unplugging the ethernet cable and disabled the 1394 in BIOS with no effect. Unplugging the cable won't have any effect. Some of the problems with "Account Creation" seem to stem from the OS trying to get to the Internet. Very few LAN adapters (NIC) are actually supported natively. (again, knowing exactly what hardware you have would be helpful) On initial install, if you're not sure if your LAN adapter IS supported, it's better to disable it in the BIOS (for onboard LAN) or pull the card. If you get to the screen where it asks how you connect to the Internet, tell it you DON'T have an internet connection. It may help get you past Account Creation and you can fix all that later. Of course, the easiest way is to use a "known good" LAN Adapter, enter your Apple User ID and Password at the prompts, and have the OS get your info off the Internet for Account Creation... But, that's in a perfect world - installing OSx86 is seldom that...

GingerTea Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hey there cgsheen, indeed, you are right. While booting one still gets the error, whatsoever it does work. However, while trying to boot up the installation disc of Release 1, I personally had to disable firewire to make it work. Later on, I just re-eabled it and it works flawlessly except the short error message while booting at verbose mode remains! Greetings I see that "error" every time I boot. It (in itself) has never caused a stall and I've never had a problem using firewire. I think your hang is being caused by something else... I don't think running "full secure" on the 1394 port is "a bad thing".

AcidRain9 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Weird Issues I was having a problem with a random freeze every once in a while and came across a thread saying that you can't use 4Gb RAM with a PATA Drive (?) so i tried it... 3Gb DDR2 NO FREEZING IN 48 HOURS! but is there a way to fix this? My Drives (SATA and PATA) are still not detected correctly. they are being detected at about 125-150Gb each. They should be 200 and 250 Gb. I am using Medevils AppleNforceATA.kext and i tried using the AppleVIAATA.kext from 10.4.8 with my dev ids but still the same sizes with no option to resize. Anyone have any ideas.

Silentbobnj Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi everyone, longtime lurker, first time poster. I recently downloaded this CD and followed the guide referenced here to try to install it. It would install properly but would not boot up. After playing around with settings I've gotten stuck. I've tried everything in the guide but nothing has worked. The /usr/misc/script.sh the guide says to try to execute is not present so that's the only option I haven't tried. The farthest I've gotten to was getting past all the network stuff but I get the error message of /usr/sbin/ocspd(65) and then hanging. AMD cool n quiet is disabled. Here's my system specs: AMD Opteron 165 Nvidia 8800 GTS Soundblaster Fatality DFI nForce4 Mobo (Dual Lan Marvell and Nvidia controllers) Mushkin Redline RAM 2GB (1GBx2) NEC 3550A DVD drive Dell 20" WS Monitor Currently using WIndows XP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73524-new-amd-dvd-for-leopard/page/78/#findComment-589212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
