Mysticus C* Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey Mysticus, a couple replies ago you said get a different motherboard for almost a perfect install. Do you have any suggestions on motherboards and what install disc would you recommend with that board. Thanks! asus p5w and gigabyte ga-p35-DSx (x=3,4,5) series works very nicely on Kalyway, gigabyte has small problem for first install, but if u ve USB enclosure, thats about it i think rest are easy and they install perfect system with vanilla (original kernel) and almost all apple updates as they are on mac os x, only 1-2 files usualy needs replacing after install... but not a major problem like on nforces...

bsuppenbach64 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for the quick response. Going to try the install on a 680i nvidia chipset, but if I run into too many problems,I'm thinking of just buying an intel chipset board to do the install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devinkray Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey Mysticus, My friend has a 8800GTX and a p5n32-e SLI board. We installed iATKOS r3 onto the IDE hard drive perfectly, but when trying to install to the sata drive we encountered some problems, We couldn't get his graphics card to function properly after install. He didn't have QE/CI or any proper resolution. Do you have any idea on what could be causing this, He installed NVInject and apply the right Device ID to the GeForce, NVDAResman, NVDANV50hal kext's. Any help would be awesome! Actually we have been debugging the issue its either EFI, or the nvinject on install, only a reinstall can tell....

Actually we have been debugging the issue its either EFI, or the nvinject on install, only a reinstall can tell.... it may be issue on some nforce chipsets, but if u update to 10.5.2 gfx works like a charm... for the sata, I m not sure, if it is not on raid? it should work actually, but cant really thell from here right now, bcoz sometimes it doesnt like chipset and doesnt work... also i posted a link about nvinject installer, and in download section of that page, you will see an nforce guide... check it, if it doesnt work, that means u will need to update to 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinkray Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 We actually figured out the issue, his gfx card (8800gtx) doesn't have a efi string, therefore he installed with the Darwin OSX86 bootloader and everything is fine. So I guess we have to wait for someone to add the gfx card to the EFI strings... But what is strange is that with the IDE.. EFI worked perfectly...

xitaxuta Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I managed to boot into the osx for the first time after switch my sata hard drive for an external usb hard drive aka "my book" brand western digital. I installed the atkos r3 over a MBR and single partition. Anyway after installed without error. During the first boot got some panic error! Then I tried putting -v -x cpus=1 and it worked! Although no lan and no sound working any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although no lan and no sound working any ideas?? the problem i see is in your signature, have u checked the scsi card if it is compatible with os x or not? where did u see anyone installing OS X on scsi port? also have you tried an IDE (PATA) disk? fix: my bad, i misunderstood your statement, and u place scsi name copying from windows properties i guess.... take that scsi part out, it s confusing... for the lan check forums about your lan dev id for audio i posted one azalia kext or u can search for hda patcher by taruga...

xitaxuta Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I got it working!!!! Both Sound and LAN working out of the box!!!! Amazing!! Installation : here are the steps in the customize Select bootloader Darwin x86 select patch nforce no-hpet ss3 (i even tried the ss2 didnt boot) remove cpupowermanagament driver remove thermal kexts In drivers I only select the network one Marvell Yukon that's it!!! installed over sata drive Although still couldn't get my geforce 7900gtx 512mb to work properly :-( if I select any of the nvidia drivers on the insllation the osx boots fine but when it gets to the welcome screen it stops with the small colored cursor spinning and a total black screen. any ideas mysticus??? Looks like nobody has 7900gtx around anymore LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devinkray Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 http://scottdangel.com/blog <---- NVInject installer, make sure you select the right options! Also since you have an nforce mobo after installing it you will need to read this thread and apply that to the Geforce.kext and NVDAResman.kext. Good Luck!

doradekell Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 check your r3 iso md5... 3F3D063873469A5357F392D027843C10 it should match this one... in windows use accuhash program (google it) in os x md5 file_name thats it... ?Mysticus?, Sorry but I'm a little confused about the MD5 hash you have here. in the text file with the PPF is states the ir3 patched ISO hash should be d65285f10c625310ecc93f6ee3d928b1. Is there something else I should be patching or doing to match your hash here? Thanks Dora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docX Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Good News: Problems solved!! If I boot up with cpus=1 Option then my Firewire Port shows up the Drive and everything works. Same with the USB Mouse.Using all Cores? i don't know if the Kernel uses all the Cores now (C2D CPU) but looking out for a new Kernel... Many Thx & Greets to Mysticus and all the Rest of the Team! Good News: With a patched System.kext (BIG THX to Kabyl for this help!) it runs perfect with ALL Cores and FireWire and without Mouse Problems Using Newest 9.2.0 Kernel from Irc. Darwin zeus 9.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Tue Feb 26 21:21:24 SCT 2008; made by ToH:xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 EDIT: With this Kernel System Freeze on Heavy Network Load! @Mysticus: Ur Kernels work also with the patched System.kext! Will Stress-Test the NForce Kernel in the next Days and report. EDIT: Problem with Heavy Network Load, Network Card plays "Ping-Pong" aka "On" "Off" "On" "Off", etc.!

docX Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Have talked to Kabyl....He think it's a Problem with the Chipset or something else...not with the Kernel. System freezes on Heavy System Load too. Booting with cpus=1 than all is okay. Searching for a Solution.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System freezes on Heavy System Load too. Booting with cpus=1 than all is okay. Searching for a Solution.... yeah no solution for now, as it is either related to our chipsets, or the leopard's network frameworks.... only way to know is that checking rtl8139 on intel chipset... if someone can check and get stable connection on leopard, than it s most likely our chipset, else still chipset bcoz kernels work differently on different chipsets... some devices restart and shutdown well, and sleep works, some doesnt... similar situation maybe... if someone can try another brand supported nic card on nforce to see the difference... not rtl 8139 but some other which i dont remember any now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsuppenbach64 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just purchased a Realtek 8139 PCI card and installed, but have no luck with Leopard recognizing it, So no lan. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? TRY THIS place it to drivers folder and fix the permissions.... one warning: it has drops from internet at high load, and kextunload/kextload needed in some cases, or restart needed for the driver to function on some cases.... But using cpus=1 flag on boot, fixes drop, as said by many people, however this disables all your cores and make it run on one core only...

bsuppenbach64 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ok, I'm a total noob when it comes to Leopard. Do you mean the extensions folder? or do have to find hidden folders. That file is already in my extensions folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
