New AMD DVD for leopard

[pauℓzurrr.]

So Apple Update on a Hackintosh works like Windows Update on ANY machine

Haha nice one

[naquaada]

But Windows Update is faster. If you download a patch which crashes your system, you'll get next day a patch with fixed that patch. And to fix the crash of that patch you have to wait to Service Pack 3

 

But don't be so bad. Microsoft is a well organzied company, really. Imagine how it would be if the patch division would release a patch before the crash division has delivered the needed crash... not good. It also shows with which regard to the future Bill Gates programmed Windows, with so many possibilities for crashes a lot of people have a job. This is great especially for programmers which former made trojans, viruses, worms and so on which no company would let them work anymore. So he got the people who created Office 2007...

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

 

And if it matters my computer is a Compaq SR5130NX

@ Gipo

 

All your USB works?. I have tried the new nF5 and still I can not detect any flash drive...Any idea?.

[MrChick]

So, I have Leopard up and running on my Turion64-notebook, specs in my signature

 

- WLAN works using the ralink2500-driver for 10.4

- keyboard/touchpad works after installing ApplePS2Controller.kext

- Sound works using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

 

Just a few things to work out yet:

- "b0 error" when I try to boot from HDD. the volume is activated, I installed pc_efi 8, but it still doesn't work. kickstarting using the dvd works. any ideas?

- kernel_task sometimes goes up to 99% and I have no idea why. there's no AppleTPM*.kext, PowerNow! is disabled in the bios. any ideas?

- well yeah, still have to figure out how to install a driver for my ati mobility radeon x700, but that shouldn't be too complicated

I have finally got this installed on my system after about 100x reboots and a lot of web searching

 

Hardware:

• AMD x2 3800+ Processor
  
• 2Gb RAM
  
• Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mobo with 1303 BIOS
  
• nVidia 7800 GT with 256 Mb RAM PCIx
  
• 250Gb eSATA HDD attached to nForce SATA internally
  
• Marvel Yukon enabled on mobo
  

Install:

• Boot from DVD
  
• Partition HDD as MBR (3 in my case: 30Gb for boot, 30Gb for boot backup, the rest for stuff)
  
• Install to partition with no extras
  
• reboot again to DVD
  

Make bootable:

once DVD loaded fire up the terminal (eek!)

type:

diskutil list

and note down the HDD partition number and name

 

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk$

where $ is the disk number

 

update
f 1
w
q

/usr/standalone/i386/startupfiletool -v /dev/disk$s1 /usr/standalone/boot

again replace the $

 

 

Replace dodgy kexts:

cd /Volumes/YourHDD/System/Library

where YourHDD is the Volume name

 

mkdir Extensions.disabled
cd Extensions
mv GeForce* NVDA* forcedeth* ../Extensions.disabled

(the forcedeth driver was causing lockups and the GeForce crashed!)

 

cp -R /Volumes/YourUSBStick/kexts/* .

(adds the skge.kext and leo_vid_kexts with pre-edited Info.plists from a USB stick - google is your friend!)

 

chown -R root:wheel *
chmod -R 0755 *

 

remove Extensions.mkext and the files from Extensions/Caches

(take care with that rm command, never cut and paste!)

 

diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/YourHDD/

 

reboot

 

Et voila - be treated to the Leopard welcome animation in full resolution with QE/CI enabled...!

 

 

Thanks to all the peeps providing the info to get me running!

[mrburns05]

i have a question if any of you can help.

 

I replaced kexts found in this thread to get "about this mac " to work. but it just says "processor unknown" also it says my memory is ddr 333, but really its ddr 400 (in windows it s running 440mhz)

 

so the question is: can i fix this to show properly?

All of this could be found on the wiki . people i can't stress it enought. if you run into problems take a look at the wiki first. for those who succeed fxing an issue which is not on the wiki yet, pls post here or on the wiki.

 

thx

Yeah - just looked at your sig and found the info! Wish I'd known that before and sorry for spamming my success!

 

The problem is you know where to look and I didn't!

 

Faced with an 82 page thread and many posts with mosly useless sigs they just get mentally filtered out.

 

I used google, and your wiki never showed up! The forum has a poor search results page as well. I'm not new to searching the web for technical info but there's so many posts of trial and error where the real information is hidden in the middle it is very difficult to find what you want.

 

I'm sure there's people that can relate to that

 

...people i can't stress it enought...

 

Zephyroth's got a username on tpb which I assume is where he 'released' the DVD (it's where I got it from) - how about a link to the wiki there? Or a post about known issues? Or edit a post on the first page of this massive thread to keep up with the latest info...?

 

Just a few suggestions to stress it further.

 

I'm off to play with my new Hackintosh

[naquaada]

Hm, you can say what you want, I don't like the name 'Hackintosh'. Let's find something better sometimes.

 

Boot problems: I always tried to remove the GeForce* and NV* stuff with rm commands and so on, but It won't work. I tried it from the install dvd, after booting with -s. After remeoving I do "ls Ge*" or "ls NV*" in Extensions it shows no matching files. After reboot, it fails again with a kernel panic at GeForce.kext and NVidiaResMan, even if I delete Extensions.mkext*. I think I'll install Tiger first on my first boot partition and delete the files from there, it's much easier.

 

Something else: How is it possible that my NEC ND3540A DVD-RW drive is not detected in BIOS, but fully detected and working in MacOS, even already in the Install DVD?

[laddyboy]

I agree about the name hackintosh... sounds, well - illegal. ( don't want a conversation about this)

 

I suggest PCMAC, MACPC or even OSX86.

 

Let's hear it guys...

[GingerTea]

I love the name Hackintosh, there's nothing wrong about it for me.

[naquaada]

Hm, if I'm talking to friends, I only say 'Mac' to our machines. To the operating system I always say 'MacOS', if it's more specified I use 'OSx86'.

 

To unify a model list in the future, I made a list which for the most machine types, depending on the CPU. The names are based on 'InsanelyMac' and 'InsanelyBook'. It's not to be a spoken name, more a dedication to the forum which kept us all together. I never released this list because there were so many 10.4.x images from everyone that it wouldn't have made no sense. But now with Leopard we have a kind of new beginning, maybe it's possible to integrate it. It also contains also a description how to integrate and patch the Tiger's System Profiler. Also look at the screenshot (SX4 stands for Athlon SiXty4).

Kernel Panic during boot.

I installed leo rev.1. After the installtion the system reboots and i got the following kernelpanic:

 

panic Unresolved kernel trap....

 

Debugger called:

 

Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0x0

Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):

com.apple.driver.Apple.HPET(1.0.0d1)

dependencies: com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.2.0)

 

Any help will be appreciated.

And the first question is..................

 

What type of CPU do you have? and does it support SSE3 instructions?

Download CPU-Z and find out

I can never get to an installation screen with rev 1 of Zeph's Leopard 10.5.1 AMD cd. I have tried flags such as -x -legacy -system=x86PC etc.. and no luck. I noticed some issues with APCI during loading of the kernel however it scrolls to fast to see what those issues were.

 

The error I get is

 

Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0036DAC7):"Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 88\n"@/volumes/disk1s2/leo_xnu-1228/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:2884

Unfortunately, there is still one major problem...at the end of the setup assistant where you have to enter the new username and password stuff it just hangs at "Creating your account...". Anyone know what the problem could be?

 

Sorry to bump my own questions but has anyone a clue whats the problem or what else I could try to get it working (searching didn't really help)?

 

The only thing I've tried so far is setting all language settings to US-EN and I also tried to manually remove the File /var/db/.AppleSetupDone. After removing the file I could log in for a second but then it gets automatically back to the login screen again. So I think, thats not getting me any further as well...

 

Anyone?

 

Cheers.

[Dylan-AKA-Hit]

o'corse. u must decrypt the binaries after update

What?, how do i do this?

I'm all new to this scene so i don't know so much yet

[habib]

look for Marvin's AMD Utility.

[naquaada]

So, now all I have to do is get rid of the gfx card artefacts and a little HD speedup would be nice.

I had the same problem. The only thing that worked was installing Tiger first and then uprading to Leo...

Great news! I'm in 7th Heaven! The Disk Utility problem is removed, since 10.4.7 it was not possible to restore a partition from a .dmg backup. But the best is: The X1600 is now running perfectly!!!!

 

What was the problem? Simple: It was ATIinject! I followed these instructions to patch my drivers. After reboot it worked, but I had mouse tearing and artefacts. The boot and shutdown process was also slowed down. Because there were so many outputs from ATIinject I removed it - and it works now!

 

I'm attaching my modified kexts. Who's got an Radeon X1600Pro (ATY,Wormy) with the ID 71c2 should get it working with these. Copy them in System/Library/Extensions (backup the old ones first!), delete System/Library/Extensions.mkext and enter these commands in the terminal:

 

sudo -s

 

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

 

After this reapir the permissions with Disk Utility. It works for me, but I give no warranty.

 

If you have another card ID than 71c2 you can patch the files, too. Change in ATIRadeonX1000.kext in info.plist the entry '71c2' to your card ID. In the binary you have to change it with an Hex Editor like 0xEd. Copy 0xEd in your Applications folder, select 'ATIRadeonX1000' from the MacOS folder inside ATIRadeonX1000.kext, right-click and select 'Open with...'. Select 0xEd as editor. Important: Switch in the Edit/Write Mode menu to 'Overwrite', otherwise you will have problems. Now search for c271. If your card ID is 71c0, you have to replace it with c071. Search a second time and replace it in the same way. There should be two occurences. Now save the file, do the terminal commands and repair permissions. Hope it will work next reboot. INFO: Maybe the patching of the binary isn't neccessary at all, try patching info.plist only first.

 

Here's a screenshot from the display prefpane. The X1600Pro shows in Xbench about 177, not bad for a gfx card you'll get for less than 30 Euro on ebay.
