OrangesOfCourse Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 would i be able to use these for my P5K-E? I have tried quite a few of Taruga's updates to no avail. I have no sound or wifi. I have gotten the graphics to work. I was also able to update to 10.5.6. I'm using the following way to boot into my system: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picoBrain Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Can i use iaktos 5i instead of 6.66GB img iso ? I don't know if your hardware configuration is the same... I can boot iAtkos but I can't install it. It give me an error in the end of installation process and it doesn't boot. I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Mallmann Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have tested iaktos yesterday, just for the record, and it does not support our mobo fully... There are some interesting kexts though in the System/Instalation/Packages/ You´d better try the boot123 method... or stick with kalyway´s solution I don't know if your hardware configuration is the same...

The Director Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 10.5.6 working for me too!!! I didn't need any patching, just launched the update... a little worried after the first reboot, the system rebooted again automatically and now I'm writing under my Safari on Leo 10.5.6! I'm testing it now: first problem, my USB mouse didn't work at boot, I had to eject it and then re-insert in the port to get it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalado Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 After the BOOT-123 cd booting i get the bootloader console. What do i do there? I swap the CD-BOOT with the retail dvd but it won't do squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Mallmann Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Press " ESC ", then swap to the Retail DVD, wait some seconds, and press " RETURN " / " ENTER " After the BOOT-123 cd booting i get the bootloader console.

mlavio829 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This guide worked great. Thanks My only question is how is the best way to get a boot screen for the option of Windows or Mac since my mac partition is GUID while my Windows is MBR? (either using the Darwin Loader or the Windows Loader) Thanks Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolken84 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm about to try your method, I have the plain p5k mobo -w core2 duo E8400. A couple ?'s, Did you change any settings in the bios? and will the kalyway 10.2 distro work with this method? I've downloaded all but the retail osx img in your list. I have been struggling with iDeneb & it doesn't seem to like the p5k. I will buy a retail copy of osx when I'm sure I can run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalado Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 @coolken84 I have a plain P5K. iDeneb 1.3 (Mac OSX 10.5.5) worked great here. Today i changed with this method. It's working nicely, but the mouse sometimes stutters for a few milliseconds, don't know why. It's kinda annoying. I followed the tut, you can get a retail osx image on thepiratebay or whatnot.

Jimmy Mallmann Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yes kalyway will work, specialy for p5k or p5kxxx mobos, but it is not as fast as retail version...

Hi, good it worked for you, with whis method, if you have noticed, the shutdown works 100%, therefore, the usb mouse and keyboard thing is now very rare (I have not happened again until now)... @coolken84 I have a plain P5K. iDeneb 1.3 (Mac OSX 10.5.5) worked great here.

smiley2billion Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks for the great guide. Very clear and easy to follow. I have a P5KC and I'm going to try this method tonight. I was using Kalyway before and it got ate by 10.5.6 update. Will report back with progress. Also, my motherboard has 2 black SATA plugs and 2 red SATA ports, does the P5K-SE have these as well? If so, does it matter which I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Mallmann Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Your configuration is similar to mine All sata ports should work, you´d use the first ports, but it will install I use the 4 ports, first 2 for the HDs, and the last 2 for the 2 sata DVD-RW Good luck Thanks for the great guide.

jcalado Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I still don't understand why the mouse jumps around sometimes. A good example is when i fire up iTunes, if I move the mouse, it will just lock up for a second, then continue working normally. Any ideas?

Jimmy Mallmann Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 It happened once before, but the problem was my old usb mouse... now I got the mighty mouse from mac try another mouse, or another usb port.. is it a big problem?

jcalado Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well, it's annoying as hell. fire up itunes, moving around some document the mouse stops for a second. Sometimes it just jumps to a different location out of nowhere. It was working ok with iDeneb 1.3. I'm reinstalling using this same method again as i fcked things up a bit, won't even boot single mode, and i don't want to waste time booting the dvd just to get to the terminal. I'll post back if it continues behaving this way. Also, i don't know if it's related but i have to unplug my USB mouse /keyboard everytime i boot to get them to work. Any idea why or how to fix it?

Also, tell if you have used another kext apart from the ones I have provided in this post.
