BJMoose Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Now that I've backed up all my various renditions of Leopard, I decided to see what else works vanilla besides the kernel and appleSMBIOS. One by one I re-inserted all the vanilla versions of what Brazilmac changed and so far, so good. Everything is working well. As I write this on my PC, I'm watching Time Machine backup the system disk on my Hackintosh. Still getting several SUID warnings in repair permissions, but I understand that is a flaw in Leopard and has been reported to occur on genuine macs also. Haven't had the time to install Leopard on my mac pro yet. I don't want to change OS's while the machine has several projects underway. The only problem I can see with my hack thus far is that I'm really limited as to how I can back it up. I'm fanatic about having backup images of my system. CopyCatX is my software of choice with SuperDuper a close second. For some reason, as long as I have EFI installed on my drives, I get errors and stoppages when making system backups with those 2 or hatchery. I do have a cloned backup drive, but that's not how I like to do it. For now, I'm throwing the Mac drive into my windows machine and using Ghost12. It works fine, but it's not as fast as CCX and then there's the annoyance of have to swap the drive into another system. All in all, I'm very pleased. Now if I could only figure out how to create a DL DVD of my Leopard install disk with EFI on it so I wouldn't have to insert anything 'un-vanilla' other than the dsmos.kext.

shoarthing Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 . . 'SUID errors'? . . you installed the ~40MB 10.5.1 from Apple Software Update - yes? If you d/l the full 110MB jobbie & install, you *should* see no SUID errors. This happened here twice [on a Hack] & twice at work [Alloy Imacs].

BJMoose Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Actually, I've done the auto update from Apple (which said it was over 100MB...can't remember the exact number) and the download of the full install. I can't swear that the SUID warnings (not errors) are identical, but they exist both ways...at least for me.

rhalls Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 o.k., so i googled for the SUID thing. Found something on Apple Support."Solution: You can safely ignore these messages. They are accurate but not a cause for concern. "http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925 So this is solved with out the need to solve it. Doing the 110 MB 10.5.1 Upgarde did fix some of them, the rest is to ignore.
