tomazzzi Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 hi, Here is how i proceed to get a fully working Leopard on this board, fell free to add something or correct me if i made something wrong. My system is an IntelCoreDuo2 EE6600, GA965p-DQ6 rev1 Bios F11, 2X1GB STT DDR2 800 PC6400, MSI GEFORCE 7600GS 256MB, 80 GB SATA MAXTOR HD, USB HP DVD 840, Motu 828Mk2 Firewire. required : - External USB dvd rom - Windows XP or Vista DVD ( or anything else to format the drive NTFS & create the MBR though it s easier with a windows CD.. ) - Tiger DVD to format the drive MACOS journalised( i used Jas 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 ..last one .. ) - TOh RC2 Leopard DVD - The lastest Toh kernel ( available on irc ) or here : ( thx to alex ) http://alex.upsidedown.free.fr/OSX86/Leopard/ - ICH8 driver for OSX ( thx to trauma23 ) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=63305&st=0 - Nvinject if you like me own an nvidia card ( i use a MSI 7600GS ) http://www.macdotnub.info/downloads.php - AZALIA driver ( thx to skippyretard ) : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520 total install time : 1 hour How to : - First plug your harddrive to one of the Jmicron purple port - Boot on vista dvd, format the drive Reboot - Boot on the tiger dvd, run disk utility, select the partition ( not the whole drive !! ) & erase it ( mac os journalised ) Reboot - Now go on your Bios : . intgrated peripherials : SATA RAID/AHCI Mode : AHCI . SATA PORT 0-3 Natve Mode : DISABLED . ON BOARD SATA CONTROL MODE : AHCI Save & exit - Plug your USB dvd ROM & set the boot on it - Put the TOH DVD into the drive - Install : Choose personnalise & uncheck printers drivers & languages you don t use - Install done power off ( use the power button ) - Reboot : press F8 before the bootloader comes out - Type : -v to boot leopard After a short introduction , set up yor account then the desktop should pop s up. Then you must need to replace the kernel with a newer one to enable full cpu support and to boot without - v - Download the kernel form the usual source or here http://alex.upsidedown.free.fr/OSX86/Leopard/ , put it on your desktop & rename it to mach_kernel - open terminal & type : sudo cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.old (type your password) sudo cp -f ~/Desktop/mach_kernel / sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel* sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel* - open disk utility & repair file permissions reboot Now Leopard must boot without -v ( if not : you perhaps used the wrong kernel for your cpu ) Chipset : Install the ICH8 driver for OSX ( thx to trauma23 ) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=63305&st=0 Reboot - Fire up the bios & set back your settings to their original state ( AHCI > IDE ...) - You can now boot without AHCI & plug anything to the orange ports, also IDE DVD & HD will work Vidéo : Now install the Nvinject if you own an nvidia card http://www.macdotnub.info/downloads.php Sound : use the Azalia easy installer from this link : ( thx to skippyretard ) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520 reboot Enjoy your fully working Leopard ( ADDED 12/12/07 ) EFI : Installation of the EFI bootloader ( thanks to osx86scene, all credits goes to netkas http://netkas.freeflux.net/ ) Requirements? 1.EFI V8.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?ehee45snyhy 2. OS X Pre-Installed and bootable, either Tiger or Leopard. 3. A HFS+ Formatted USB stick named bootloader! 4. Mac OS X Tiger/Leopard Install DVD. Ok, so how do I install ? Important: If you get any error messages at any stage during this process, the bootloader will not have been successfully applied, try again from the beginning following instructions to the letter! Well, you'll need to get the EFI bootloader first, which you can grab at irc.osx86.hu #Leopard or here http://www.mediafire.com/?ehee45snyhy . Got the files? Great. Extract them to your desktop. Now, plug in that HFS+ Formatted USB stick, and copy the "pc_efi_v80" (in this case - newer versions may have a different folder name, so substitute the name if that is the case) folder to your USB stick. OK, now you have a folder called "pc_efi_v80" on your USB stick? Good good... pop in your Tiger/Leo install DVD, and reboot! Boot up the Install DVD, when you get to the install screen, select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type the following: diskutil list And take note of your OS X partition identifier... this is an example of what you should see. /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *149.1 Gi disk0 1: Apple_HFS Leopard 100.0 Gi disk0s1 So in my case, my partition identifier is disk0s1. Unmount your OS X parition by typing the following: diskutil unmount disk0s1 Note: Substitute the 0 and 3 for the correct identifier numbers for your OS X partition, as shown in your diskutil list. Change directory to the pc_efi_v80 folder by typing the following: cd /Volumes/bootloader/pc_efi_v80 Note: This is why it was important to call your USB stick bootloader! Type the following: ./startupfiletool /dev/disk0s3 ./boot_v8 Note: Substitute the 0 and 3 for the correct identifier numbers for your OS X partition, as shown in your diskutil list. Reboot Installing AppleSMBIOS.kext Extract AppleSMBIOS.kext from the EFI Zip file, and copy it to your desktop! Open Terminal, Type the following: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/AppleSMBIOS.kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext Enjoy your EFI bootloader, you can now try to replace your kernel & kext with the originals one s ( though i prefer keeping the modified versions for now ) Optionnal : Replacing the ToH kernel & modified kexts with the apple one s : Requirement : Original Apple kernel and kexts : http://rs241.rapidshare.com/files/69121017...ernel_Kexts.zip dsmosKext ( required to run a modified kernel ) : http://rapidshare.com/files/68644256/Apple...osKext.zip.html Restore vanilla kernel: Extract Leopard_Vanilla_Kernel_Kexts.zip on Desktop and again, do this in the terminal: sudo mv /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.patched After back up the patched kernel(comes with your installation), type : sudo cp /Users/xxx/Desktop/Leopard_Vanilla_Kernel_Kexts/mach_kernel / to install the new kernel. Don’t forget to repair permissions: sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel && sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel.patched && sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel.patched Speak of necessary, I mean the minimal requirement to boot off the EFI+vanilla kernel. Some installation might miss dsmos.kext(an EFI module for page decryption, also made by Netkas), as its not necessary for patched kernel. But it’s a must for vanilla kernel. . So install it if its not in your system: sudo cp -R /Users/xxx/Desktop/pc_efi_v51/dsmos.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ repair permissions: sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext The newest efi patch is supposed to work with AppleEFIRuntime.kext but some users still have trouble there. So just remove(back it up) for safety. Do the same for AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext cd /System/Library/Extensions/ sudo mv AppleEFIRuntime.kext AppleEFIRuntime.kext.vanilla sudo mv AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext.vanilla Delete kext cache so the change will take effect on next boot. sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext.* you might want to put more vanilla kexts just try ...enjoy, you can now run the update from software updater NTFS support : READ & WRITE install macfuse : http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ install NTFS3g : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ The only problems i still need to solve are : Firewire & USB troubles : most of the time i need to plug the devices before booting the computer or they don t appear :S Slow boot time : was very fast before ICH8 driver install ( 10 sec ), now Desktop is coming after about 2 minutes ( i guess it only need little tweaking ) Sleep Hope this helps, sorry for my bad english Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75148-gigabyte-ga965p-dq6-how-to/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovi Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Download the kernel form the usual source or here http://alex.upsidedown.free.fr/OSX86/Leopard/ , put it on your desktop & rename it to mach_kernel which one did you used? i have the same mainboard and cpu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75148-gigabyte-ga965p-dq6-how-to/#findComment-533311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
