re-book Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi Folks, I have a MacBook Pro here but i can't keep it. But I could use it to install Leo from a retail DVD to a external (USB) disk. Is there a way to patch this installation so that it will run on my PC? What would be the right way? Install Ledopard , install EFI_V8, replace kext with the kext from /leopatch. Which kernel would be the best. Thanx re-book Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76333-leox86-installation-with-intel-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx re-book Yes, I've done exactly this using a macbook and USB. 1) Install retail OS to USB 2) Copy dsmos.kext to Extensions 3) Optionally copy AppleSMBios.kext 4) mv -R AppleEFIRuntime... and AppleIntelCPU.... kexts . kext.vanilla 5) Make any additional kext mods, as needed 6) Install EFI to the USB drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76333-leox86-installation-with-intel-mac/#findComment-538982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzaw Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 indeed all operations can be done on a hd connected to the macbook via say usb or firewire you may not even need to burn a dvd but merely install from an image by using the osxinstall.mpkg directly as an alternative heres how i did my cloning of a fully established and fully updated 10.5.1 on my macbook to work on an asrock mobo your millage may vary according to your exact h/w mix Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76333-leox86-installation-with-intel-mac/#findComment-539290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
