I am not saying this is true for all OS upgrades, and possibly every single piece of Hardware, but it would seem that everything works the same with 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, if not better with 5.2

Hey mtotho! Haven't seen you around the boards lately. Thanks again for getting me up and running on my DS3L. I still have my Asus P5W sitting in the box, and might pull it out to set up another hack. I was just wondering how it's going on that board. I seem to recall some users saying they had various unresolved issues. Sleep is my primary concern. It works so well on my DS3L, I only do a shut down once every few days now. And would you recommend trying to use the Kalyway 10.5.2 disk straight off or starting with 10.5.1 and updating? Thanks again.

@dci, everything works perfectly on p5w dh, better than ds3l. All ports work, sata, ide, etc. Raid0 works on orange ez-raid port, i cant think of much that doesnt work, i like it much more. Also no stupid ahci problems.

 

Also i just tried updating to 10.5.3 via software update with no terminal stuff. IT DOES NOT WORK. INstead download it and follow this

Well that's encouraging. My only problem is I don't have a nice case for it. I've got two Ultra cases that I got free after rebate, but I'd like to have a nicer case for my hack :( . Not necessarily an Antec 900, but something nice. Maybe I'll have to move my Windows box out of my Antec P180. :(

Hi guys, i cant understand if the ASUS P5W DH deluxe last BIOS is ok for working fine with OSX 10.5.x...

 

SOmebody please can post wich BIOS release is already tested for working fine? Thnx

 

There are two entries for this board in the HCL: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.2#Asus One lists the exact BIOS revision used along with Kalyway 10.5.1 and the combo update to 10.5.2.

I was wondering, have you ever found a solution to get the Front Panel Audio working?
I know for sure my headphone jack works, and I'm pretty sure the mic in works.

 

EDIT: Mic In jack DOES NOT work. Luckily my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe) has a great mic on it.

guh, i think is because with update you update some patched kexts like AHCI and others. You can try to restore 10.5.2 working kexts to solve the problem.

 

I am pretty new to osx. I assume i can use pacifist to extract and install the correct kexts from the kalyway 10.5.2 dvd but i wouldn't know which to install. Or if there was a download just for the kexts i could use kext helper to install them? What are the other things that seem to break? I think my video is working correctly anything else?

You don't need the old .kext you can copy the icon for the internal to external then they will show up as they always did this does not change the icons for usb/firewire devices when connected.

 

   sudo -s

  <password> enter

  mv /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns.back

  cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/Internal.icns /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns

  chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext
  chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext

  reboot

 

The preview shows here the mv and cp lines as two seperate ones they should each be one long command line.

Hey, read through your tutorial and the installation looks pretty simple, but I still have some questions.

 

Here are my specs:

GA-P35-DS3L Mobo

C2D E6550 CPU

MSI 8600GT Video Card

SATA DVD Drive (So I should not have any problems there)

 

1) I have the 10.5.2 Kalyway DVD, should the installation be pretty similar? If not what do I need to add/change?

2) About these Kext files, do I add them to the ISO image before I burn, or do I boot up the DVD and then add them via a USB drive or something? What kext files do I need for my specs?

3) I am putting Leopard on a separate HDD, my other HDD is running XP. If I install Leopard and just change my BIOS to boot from the OSX HDD, should I automatically have some kind of boot loader?

4) I am not understanding AHCI thing, can somebody please explain?

5) My video card will not fully work until I install NVInstall .33, do I install this after the OS installation?

 

Thanks in advance.

What does ls -l on it give you?

 

 MacUser2525$ ls -l /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  130756 Apr  3 20:36 /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/External.icns

Anybody with an ASUS P5W DH upgrade to 10.5.3?

 

I tried the Kalyway combo update from the "Green Demon" and I tried using http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=107340.

 

Neither worked. Both give me the same error regarding AHCI. I keep getting the "waiting for root device" message over and over and over.

 

I can switch my BIOS to Standard IDE instead of AHCI and then boot up. I've read about a few others with this problem, but I'm puzzled as to why only certain people have trouble using AHCI after this upgrade.

 

I guess I will wait for the next upgrade or until someone figures out why this error is occuring. I hate having to restore again and again.

 

Cheers!

To mtotho:

Thanks for this quide, but I found some problems:

1) i found that if you install all 7 kext for AHCI support system will crash. you need only 4 of them.

2) i cant remove those orange icons, if you install 2 kext to fix them system wiil crash =(

 

Finally I downloaded Kalyway 10.5.2 disk image, and it is really working, no more orange drives and shutdown problems. everything is working finy, exept usb ports. I Cant understand my usb mouse, keyboard and remote device are working, but if i insert usb flash or hard drive nothing happens. Can somebody help me? :D
