verdant Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi Mysticus, Here is a pleasing cosmetic difference between NVkush and NVinject (at least on my installs), with NVkush.kext being the winner IMHO...... NVinject.tiff NVkush.tiff So perhaps you might consider including the NVkush.kext in afuture version of your updater?....

Mysticus C* Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 lol huge difference indeed how many times are you gonna go and check you system profiler? you know that you have 8600gt already, saying gdx by nvidia or 8600 gt wont change the fact plus do you know how much time consuming for updating and changing stuff in a 650mb file? not to mention making for it... i will stick to nvinject currently for all the settings i have done already, unless... if nvkush automatically finds memory amount in the cards that reduces the amount of work nicely... can be used in future...

verdant Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 lol huge difference indeed Wait for it...... how many times are you gonna go and check you system profiler? you know that you have 8600gt already, saying gdx by nvidia or 8600 gt wont change the fact The point is you do not need to "input" this information into the profiler, NVkush (http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/#) apparently "finds" this out when it runs and hence modifies the profiler during booting..... see below.... plus do you know how much time consuming for updating and changing stuff in a 650mb file? not to mention making for it... That is why I said a future version, i.e. only if and when other mods are required to your updater..... i will stick to nvinject currently for all the settings i have done already, unless... if nvkush automatically finds memory amount in the cards that reduces the amount of work nicely... It does at present up to 256MB VRAM..... hence I am Before installing NVkush After installing NVkush without my changing the display resolution in System Preferences/Displays.... to better match my 19@ LCD monitor...... and Diabolik has a neat online .plist generator to hardcode your VRAM if above 256MB....i.e. 320MB, 512MB, 640MB and &68MB at present (see http://diabolik1605.com/plister/)..... which could perhaps (I am sure you will tell me if this is not possible.... since I am not an expert on these things like you, having only just recently joined the online InsanelyMac x86 OS X community!) could be incorporated as an offline .plist generator into your next major updater package..... ? can be used in future... BTW Thanks for putting up with my posts..... I know you must be fed up with all the "NooBs" and "Newbies" by now.... so I won't second guess how you view me.... and still for taking the time to reply to my posts....

Mysticus C* Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 generator is not a solution really it is still a manual step, when you complete all of the memory configs, you will get same as nvinject+name tags if it could (which i dont know how easy or diffucult) find the memory amount by reading from the card itself, it would have been one step solution, generating manual step is not good for everyone... you can use the nvinject and add your gfx card name in it as well... so it would look the same... look inside nvinject you will see you can do it...

Incubus8P Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks Mysticus, I got it running tonight. and it has yet to crash. Onboard ethernets not working... reading that thread tomorrow and my monitor resolution is only 1024X768... but it booted. I must have missed the part where you said to format the HD using MBR not GUID because that was hanging me up all this time... (EDIT: MBR works but it's not the preferred method. I was having boot problems I sorted out later.) Anyway thanks for your help, even though you didn't have to answer any of my stupid questions.

I have included my specifications and if possible i would like to receive further help regarding my installation of OSx . Thank you . you have 790i mobo which means you will have trouble booting off the dvd and installing on your internal hdds... you may be able to install using usb dvrom and usb hdd than modify the device ids... also, you will never get 2 nvidia cards working and boot untill there is a tweak/patch or real support for it... plus i dont even know if 9800 gx2 (already a dual card) has drivers for it (patched or not)... you just joined the forum and you already have tons of incompatibility in your system, you will be a seriously big headache if i try to help you... so it is down to you go get some usb enclosures for hdd and dvdrom, and a bit of searching about how to find your sata/pata controller ids and add them later to nforceata driver... i m no way gonna explain this whole process to you as I know what is coming... you gotta to read around a lot and try on your own first...

(read post#2 regarding frequent problems section at the very beginning) on board lan will cause u more trouble than good... oh I read correctly and I did read the whole post. I knew it'd give me problems going in -- during install I disabled it, and knew the odds of getting it to work were against me. I'm going to try anyway, but I'll bug someone else for help in that arena. If I can't get it working, then I'll just buy a 3rd party card... If I remember correctly you made a few card recommendations earlier in the thread. (Or I read that somewhere on the forum.) I used the iAtkos r3 installer (it's in my sig). I'll try the Kalyway 0.5.2 once I can track it down per your suggestion. Basically, I wasn't asking for help, I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks!!!!, and let people know if you follow the right steps, and remember to properly format your drive, it works! I hope to continue to develop my x86 chops and help out in the future. Okay, back to luking. Thanks once again for making a great guide.

elitesean Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi, I have a nForce 650i board with a ata dvd drive and i connected an IDE HD to install iAtkos 2.0 (which is the only one i can get to boot with my hardware using the nforce kernel). Once i'm in the installer GUI, for around 2ish minutes everything's working (apart from PS2 keyboard) then suddenly, the whole computer panics and locks up (lights on the mouse do not change - cd drive dies completely, if left it will return to full speed but screen etc is still locked). I can sort of imagine that the CD drive is timing out, but i really can't be sure. Hopefully someone can help, it'd be really helpful to me finally getting Leopard on this system. Cheers in advance.

Mysticus C* Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 use your ide dvd drive to boot and install... also is your bios set proparlly? execute disable bit = enabled? sata ports = ahci mode (not ide mode!!!) kalyway should boot and install fine, your problem is either you are using sata dvd and/or your sata ports are not in ahci mode... the error means boot process cannot identify your pata/sata controllers and therefore cant find propar hdd to be able to install...

jerrymarino Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks Mysticus C, I did have my bios set to those 2 settings, and I was also booting from the ide dvd drive.

Unplugged my sata drives After doing so I now get " SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0X04, ASC = 0X08, ASCQ =0X01 " followed by " Still waiting for root device " I get the same error weather it is from iatkos2.0i or kalyway10.5.2, both with correct md5sums Any other suggestions?

Mysticus C* Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 check for a bios update... than make sure your sata ports are set to AHCI MODE!!!! and NOT IDE Mode... also try using usb keyboard and mouse to see if it has any conflicting effect...!!! use Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD... the message shows that it finds a device but cant initialize it due to some trouble... like i said, use kalyway 10.5.2 dvd and make sure your bios settings are correct and up to date... bcoz i ve seen couple of same mobos had successfull installs... so it is down to your settings or your devices, like mobo bios old, or bios settings not correct...
