P5K-SE - Retail Leopard Instalation

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Get another boot123 CD, probably your chipset is incompatible with this version, or, your media is faulty...

 

I got a little problem here.

When I am trying to boot with boot132 cd I am getting

 

ISOLINUX 3.63 2008-04-10 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry

 

I've used Nero to burn the iso file to CD.

[Akai92]

Hi, you mean the voodooPS2 controller, did you install the p5k-se_10.5.7.pkg and applyied the pcEFI v9?

 

 

Yes, I installed the kext pack anh PCefi v9, but my ps2 keyboard didn't work. Then I install pcwiz ps2 fix, my keyboard worked but shutdown/restart is slow

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Update: The Tutorial Has Been Updated....

 

 

Get the new 10.5.7 installer

It supports PS2 keyboard and Mouse

And it has an updated version of the OpenHaltRestart.kext (Shutdown and Restart)

You may restore your vanilla 10.5.7 AppleHDA.kext

 

But before installing... (in order to avoid system crash)

 

Remove the deprecated kexts from previous versions...

LegacyAppleHDAPlatformDriver.kext

HDAEnabler.kext

ACPIPS2Nub.kext

ApplePS2Controller.kext

_{sudo -s}

_{rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/LegacyAppleHDAPlatformDriver.kext}

_{rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/HDAEnabler.kext}

_{rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ACPIPS2Nub.kext}

_{rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext}

Hi Jimmy, first of all, thanks for the tutorial

 

i've installed the retail version of leopard based in this guide, my system specs are:

 

Intel q9400 @ stock

 

3x 2gb Kingston 800mhz ddr2

 

Asus p5k premium

 

xfx 9800gtx+

 

160gb sata samsung (with mac os) + 500gb samsung (windows and stuff)

 

The install process is ok, and everything is working, but i have 2 "problems":

 

1 - My mouse and keyboard was strange, mouse accel. has some variatins (fixed this removing VoodooPS2Controller).

 

2 - I feel that my system can be faster specially in some apps like aperture, photoshop, iphoto...

 

My Xbench score is around 150 with disk tests and 230 without disk tests. I think that the problem can be the VGA, i've installed only using the gfx strings generated by OSx86 tools, QE/CI and resolution are ok, but sometimes the menu bar is opaque and sometimes have transparency, and the OpenGL results (tested in openglViewer) are low (i'll post the image, now i'm at work)

 

 

I made something wrong or the xbench results are correct for my system config (i saw that your results are 340 )

 

 

 

Sorry for my horrible english, i'm from Brazil.

Well, so probably it is the media (dvd) that is not working properly.

 

Did you get the 10.5.6 Retail DVD? If not try installing with it!

 

Otherwise try another VGA, borrow from a friend in order to install it (or buy a geforce 8600GT, it is cheap and work fine), then use your old one.

 

Hello everyone,

 

My findings and results for my problem described on:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1104506 post; 362 in this topic.

 

It is a bit of a late response but I was very ill for a while (palliative care) and had no opportunity to post my results.

 

* Problem summary at that time:

 

An installation error with white / black areas;

 

* Solution:

 

Replace the video card during the installation process.

 

* The overall story:

 

On the advice of 'Jimmy' I borrowed a friends Nvidia videocard.

That worked and after the successful installation of Mac OS X (retail),

i installed various custom drivers including a custom ATI .Kext.

After that i swapped the borrowed video card for that from me, the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT.

 

At this time I enjoyed using my Hackint0sh, software version 10.5.7. and everything is working properly and satisfactorily.

Including for example the sleep function that also works, wherefore I have been using the USB 2.0 for Leopard 10.5.7 of 'Slice'.

 

Thank you so mutch 'Jimmy (topic/tutorial)', 'Slice (USB drivers)' and all others .

 

Greetings,

 

Wally

So 5.7 is working just fine for everybody? I might give it another go if thats the case.

 

Many thanks for your work again Jimmy!

[Cave Man]

The 10.5.7 update went fine with my P5K-E WiFi-AP board using Jimmy's instructions.

 

Here was my process from my 10.5.6 box:

1. DL 10.5.7 Combined update

2. Delete the four kexts as described by Jimmy in post 505 using 'sudo -s'.

3. Ran 10.5.7 Combo Update - did not reboot.

4. Ran Jimmy's 10.5.7 Installer that I DL'd 24 MAY and referenced in post 505.

5. Rebooted and the gray screen appeared for about a minute, then the computer rebooted just fine, except for audio. I had to reboot, then select "Unknown" in the System Preferences Sound pane.

 

Thanks Jimmy - again!

Its working fine for me too ( so far )

@ViniciusMaran,

 

I would think your xBench scores would be higher with a Quad Core. I have a P5K Pro with a Core 2 e8500 and

4 gigs of ram, and an EVGA nVidia 8800 GT. I just got a 223.26 on my xBench score, with all tests.

 

I also Have Geekbench, and got a 4347 for the 32 bit test and a 4853 for the 64 bit test.

 

Here is my Xbench Printout for comparison:

@ViniciusMaran,

 

I would think your xBench scores would be higher with a Quad Core.

 

Unless things have changes in the last few months, xbench only uses one core. This is why you should use geekbench instead.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Hi, what slows the system down is your Hard Drive, I have installed a 128 GB SSD sata II drive

 

For example, in your user interface you got more then 500

But your disk score was little more then 100

 

 

don´t worry about that, if you can afford a SSD Drive, then buy it, and you´ll get higher scores, if not, so what, your system is fast enough.

 

 

Ps. My system is overclocked, with FSB higher than 1533 MHZ and 3.5 GHz CPU clock, that helps a little

 

 

... And I also Brazilian, proudly!

yep, your disk is a bit slow... there are 32mb cache 500GB Hard Disks arround, that should do.

 

with 10.5.7 graphics performance was boosted.. ( people say that )

[fourwider]

originally had a 10.5.6 setup following your 1st setup. upgraded to 10.5.7 as per your instructions (deleted the files you named). I have a 883 audio chipset and its working ok, but kinda scratchy sound. improved somewhat after changing the audio to 44.1 in midi setup, but still scratch sounds. there was no noise like that in 10.5.6. audio was seen then as a intel hda....now as "unknown".

 

should i have not loaded the voodoo hda kext included in the package (was a default load I believe)? am I missing something to restore appleHDA...or should I go back to 10.5.6 appleHDA?

 

thanks for all the work you've done on this.

 

 

MotherBoard = ASUS P5K-SE (fully working) (ok)

NIC (Onboard) = Attansic L1 Ethernet (ok)

Wireless = D-Link DWA-542 (ok, no extra driver needed)

Processor = Intel Core 2 6750 @ stock (ok)

Memory = 4x DDR2 800 MHZ 1024 MB (ok)

Graphics = Galaxy Geforce 8800GT 512 MB GDDR3 (ok)

Display = Samsung 216BW (ok)...upgraded to Dell 2209wa (amazing and cheap e-ips panel...if you can find it, get it)

Hard Disk = 1 Seagate SATA II 160 GB 16MB Cache (ok)

DVD+RW = 1 SATA LG (ok)

Mouse = Logitech MX-400 (ok, worked as generic, better after downloading driver from Logitech post-install)

Keyboard = Microsoft Digital Media Pro (ok, ps2 version now works with 10.5.7)

[ViniciusMaran]

Updated to 10.5.7 without problems, now xbench score is around 150.

 

guenthergruen, if you are using a nvidia video card, try to install it using OSx86 tools with GFX strings, then reinstall the "driver" package marking only the Pystar kext.

[guenthergruen]

Hi,

first of all, THANKS for that nice how-to-do, Jimmy, It worked just as you said, although I had to get a USB DVD since my IDE DVD would only read errors.

So now I installed the Retail and are on 10.5.7 now, everthing works....EXCEPT THAT BLOODY SHUTDOWN!!

Its driving me nuts, I read every post, there is, still no solution: it just won't shutdown completely

Even now with the Retail installed that Hackintosh won't shut down.

Sorry but this is my first Post up to now I've only read and read and tried, does anyone know what I do wrong?

 

This is what I did:

Put Sata into AHCI

INstalled with Retail as planned with UInstaller afterwards

10.5.7 Combo update no restart

PKFam Installer 10.5.7 restart without attansic

Installed AD1988B INstaller

INstalled NTFS-3G

Installed Youkon88E8056 Installer

 

Thats it so far

THX for everything so far this is a great community

10.5.7 Update Advice (HowTo) for P5kFamily Mobos

UPDATE, BUT DO NOT REBOOT

 

INSTALL THE NEW P5K-SE_10.5.7.pkg (link)

 

REBOOT

 

Link broken, did not work for me...any suggestions?

[Jimmy Mallmann]

hi, shutdown/restart should be working with openhaltrestart.kext and pcEFI V9

 

wierd... very... can you turn debug on?

It is the same link as in the post (link)

 

remember to erase the kexts as told in the previous post (written in red)

Where Do I delete this files from? The installation package? My system?

[ViniciusMaran]

theaskanison, you need to remove this kexts from your system before the install of the package.

[guenthergruen]

Updated to 10.5.7 without problems, now xbench score is around 150.

 

guenthergruen, if you are using a nvidia video card, try to install it using OSx86 tools with GFX strings, then reinstall the "driver" package marking only the Pystar kext.

 

Uh ok, you think its the video card, I'm using an MSI 7900 GS 256 MB, so far hasn't made any problems, works fine with UInstaller Installation, is there any difference, with the GFX strings?

I'll give it a try, thx anyways ViniciusMaran

 

hi, shutdown/restart should be working with openhaltrestart.kext and pcEFI V9

 

wierd... very... can you turn debug on?

 

Ah, how exactly do I turn debug on?

Sorry I'm still a noob in many ways.

[ViniciusMaran]

Here (using a xfx 9800gtx+) if i install the video card after the package, shutdown stops to work

 

Try, maybe works in your system too.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Hi, I have the same 9800GTX+, using custom nvidia from UInstaller.app

no problem, no shutdown/restart issue

 

Hacking sometimes go weird in many ways , Some people just don´t have luck

So I manually erased the kexts, updated, installed package and reboot. I had to reboot a few times before it worked 100%.

 

I still have an issue that it hasn't been widely disscused in the forum. MY e-SATA CONNECTION IS NOT WORKING! (or another way to put it is that my G-Drive is not mounting using the e-sata connection)

 

Jimmy said that "there is a kext in the installer "appleviaata.kext" that should do the trick, I am using it, based in a marvell controller (IDE/E-SATA)"

 

This in fact got my IDE DVD drive working, but not my G-Drive so far.

 

Now, When I access the boot menu and my G-Drive is connected, I see it as a IDE Samsung Drive. I don't know if that means anything but I mention it in case is relevant.

 

Thanks all for your help!

 

theaskanison, you need to remove this kexts from your system before the install of the package.
