 Leopard (Retail) DVD Perfect Guide 10.5.6 Chameleon 2.0 RC1 April 7,2009

[bigpoppa206]

Can somebody please clarify this step?

 

What and where is the "post patch" and how is it applied?

 

Inside of EFI_v8.zip there should be a script file that you run from the terminal called post-patch.sh. Really, to be safe and please don;t take this the wrong way, but you need to read the very first post of this thread again, it's all explained right there and will save you from making costly mistakes. Good luck!

 

PS: if that archive doesn't contain that file, then GET THIS ONE.

Thank you very much.

 

I have the first post printed out and continue to study it (but the English and organization is a little rough).

 

Am I correct in thinking that the "post-patch.sh" script is only needed for retail installs? (I am trying to install JaS 10.5.4 on a RAID 0 array).

[bofors]

After unmounting Raid set for running the commands 'dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY'

I can't mount the 2 Raid members partition so I can't add 'boot' file to both Boot OSX.

 

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think you are suppose to unmount anything to run the 'dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY' command. Here 'rdiskXsY' refers to the unmounted "helper" partition that OS X generates at the end of each RAID disk

It appears to me that your disk is not burnt correctly -- or you don't have the bios options set properly to boot from cdrom.

your system is trying to boot from the harddisk and there is no os so the bootloader tells you ntldr is missing.

 

So

a) make sure boot options let the sytem boot from cdrom

dvd is burnt as an iso image .. if you just copied files to a dvd .. it won't be bootable

 

if you were running 10.5.2 .. i figure you should know this much

installed the two Audio Kexts on my P35 DS3R with Kalyway 10.5.2, Core 2 Quad with nVidia 7300 512, before i installed these kexts i had audio out but but nothing showed up in my system profiler. NOW EVERYTHING SHOWS UP!!!!

Kexts updated for 10.5.5 to latest Build

Kexts updated for 10.5.5 to latest Build

 

so is it safe to upgrade to 10.5.5 with software updater? just have to remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext after install right? what about the desmos.kext? do i have to backup the one that i have and put it back later after install?

[Emilo]

Is this proper order of actions to take with Simple Guide method?

1. Install EFI (EFI v8 or Chameleon)

2. Install Leopard and 10.5.4 update

3. Apply post-patch

 

Where exactly can I find post-patch file?

[the_gael]

I have followed the instructions in the first post have applied Combo update 10.5.5 but I cannot find the post patch either - where should I look?

 

I have Installed Chameleon, Installed Leopard from image file, applied 10.5.5 Combo update - now need to find the post patch!

Thank you for that - I'm going to finish the build now!

[the_gael]

here you go

 

 

Karaakeha1 - thanks for your help but I think maybe I will not be able to get this working correctly until I find drivers for my ATi Radeon X1950 Pro (7280). When I complete install I cannot boot into 10.5.5 unless I use safe mode - I tried installing Bronya's Ati 1950 Pro drivers for 10.5.3 but they make the installation freeze!

 

I am guessing I will need a new driver for 10.5.5

[Emilo]

Tried both 10.5.4 & 10.5.5 installs in following order:

1. Installed EFI with Chameleon

2. Installed Leopard and 10.5.4 (10.5.5) combo update

3. Applied post-patch (for my ATI 3870 used Natit.kext)

 

Everything works in both 10.5.4 & 10.5.5 installs except Sleep & Shutdown.

Sleep is not important but Shutdown is.

Tested under all Bios versions and used PowerOff bug fix as well.

I don't know what else to do.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Have you installed CHUD.PKG , without it power fix won't work.

Mine 10.5.5 Sleep, shutdown working fine

[loukaniko]

I have done the following;

1, Installed Chameleon...

2, Installed Retail Leopard and then 10.5.5 Combo Update

3, Used Post Patch

 

I cannot boot into system, i can only boot into safe mode. However, if I do the same thing with 10.5.4 it works fine. Any ideas?

Thank you karaakeha1. I did not know that CHUD.PKG must be installed first.

 

At the moment trying fresh install on my friend's GA-P35-DS4/v2.1/F13 and Q9550 processor.

1. Installed Chameleon.

2. Installed Retail Leopard and then 10.5.5 Combo Update.

3. Applied your Post Patch for 10.5.5 and Natit.kext for ATI3870.

 

- Booted and tested everything. Sleep, Shutdown and Time Machine did not work so,

4. Installed CHUD.PKG

5. Fixed Time Machine with IONetworkingFamily Fix.

 

- Rebooted and tested everything. Sleep and Time Machine works now.

- Switched to 1 processor in CHUD menu before turning off but still unable to Shut Down (Kernel panic)

6. Installed PowerOff bug fix. No luck. Shut Down does not work.

7. Tried to remove Extensions.mkext from System/Library but it keeps reappearing after couple of seconds.

*How to permanently remove it or turn it off?

 

I do not know what else to try. I have noticed that you have the same GA-P35-DS4 board.

Am I doing install in proper order? Will it make any difference if I use Chameleon after post-patch?

Please help.

Asus GeForce 7600GS 256MB PCIex16 (generate string using efi studio)

Should be easy enough provided you install the EFI or Chameleon boot loader to the external along with the needed .kext to boot on a PC making sure to delete the problematic ones. Once you have boot on the PC there should be no need to do the install again just open diskutil and do a partition of PC drive then restore of external partition to internal installing the boot loader again on the internal and it should boot right up.
