Nforce Chipsets: How to install Leo easy and fast with iAtkos v1.0i r3 - NForce Edition or Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD

[Apexmusic]

@apexmusic: first I dont know if two nvidia cards work on osx properly with the current drivers... so i would suggest taking one out, but like i said i dont know about two gfx card config experience... next try booting with -v -x this should help you go to gui, as it looks like your problem related to gfx card? also screen cap of that last parts (1-2 screen caps of the last parts of booting process) is much more helpfull... once you get into the gui, you can follow my other guide for updating to 10.5.2 on post#2 check it... bcoz 8x series started to work well with 10.5.2 drivers... (but like i said i dont know the deal with dual gfx card configs...)

 

good luck...

 

Hi again.

 

I tried using -v -x to boot like you suggested, but unfortunately I get the exact same error message as I did booting with -v. =/

 

Here's a screen as you requested... any thoughts? Thanks again for your help!

try removing one of the cards or the sli bridge to see if it helps.

By the way the wireless adaptor is a WUSB54GS V2.1 Problem is it shows up on get info...even says Linksys wireless-G..But how do i make it work?

 

 

go to post #2 to my guide... scroll down and you should see my 10.5.2 update guide, you can update to 10.5.2 with this guide, and my update package has the wireless driver (drivers/network/rt73_2500_2870 usb wireless) is the driver (i think... try it if it works...) for your network card...

 

if you plan to update whole system, make sure you choose the correct nvinject! value for gfx card again ok?

 

good luck...

i did that...nothing seemed to change..it still comes up on the left on network settings..and it says type name password and phone number?? When i put in the name of my router and my password and press connect it trys to connect then says problem with the modem???

 

i dont know man, it may be related to your modem maybe, bcoz i dont normally dial from any os to connect to internet, my router always does it automatically itselft regardless of computer

 

but if what you say is that your wireless network card cannot connect to route thats another thing...

[sukhraj]

my wireless adaptor has a broadcom chip if that helps..where do you normally go to connect to the Internet? Network settings then? Air port? Because that does not detect my card and I dont think them drivers worked as the lights on the adaptor are very faint which was same with windows untill I put the drivers in then it lit up

i realize the driver in my package is for GC model, you said GS? it may be a totally different model therefor the driver may not work, you need to check the website of your wireless card and get the latest driver from there...

[ Mysticus C*]

Do most usb to ethernet adaptors work? for example this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...rksid=p3907.m29 it dosnt say its compatible with mac though...

 

 

i dont know... i told you the only two working network cards on my post#2 already... i cant have all the cards in the world and tell u this is working this is not working... it is for you to search and find out... stop asking same questions again and again... go search the HCL topics to find out what is working what is not...

 

if you read my post#2 you will see i identified two wireless cards as working without dropping network and they have official drivers bcoz couple of people on this topic had these cards, and they are working good w/o trouble... before you buy stg, check the HCL topics, or manufacturer's web site to see if they have official OSX Leopard drivers or not!!!!

Mysticus,Replying to test on Asus Striker extreme SLI system: I have been using successfully Leo on my system. But with no dual video card support. every time I loaded the kexts for my card I was getting a kernel panic during display detection. So I removed the SLI strip; same result. Finally I decided to take Mysticus advise and removed 1 video card. I restarted and to my surprise my second screen came alive! memory reported correctly too! I was able to change resolution each screen individually. Unfortunately I could no enable QE (my understanding is that LEO enables it automatically). Also I was getting some garbage in the screen. To further test I decide to insert the 2nd Video card again. As soon as I did it I got a kernel panic.I went back to the boot flag "Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x512" I will test some more in a clone installMysticus any idea why QE did not load?thanks,I do not know if this helps but I am using a WUSB54GC, just installed the Wireless kext, added -f to my com.apple.Boot.plist, loaded the DWL-G122 and place the MinitaskUSB in my auto login programs.Attached the files.hope it helps

nvinject is not loaded? do you have the correct nvinject installed? from the installer?

@salvjos: also can you tell me the device id of your nvidia card?

@salvjos: also can you tell me the device id of your nvidia card?

 

Sorry I was having lunch: here it is 0x0400

[ Mysticus C*]

Sorry I was having lunch: here it is 0x0400

 

 

0x400 is in the drivers so it is most likely you dont have the correct nvinject? make sure you install the correct nvinject...

[compluva199]

now explain the problem clearly...

 

tell me what you did, how you did, what did u choose in customize menu of installer, how you partitioned your hdd? step by step everything! and if possible screen caps (with booting -v) would be more helpful to identify your problem(s)...

Sorry to respond so far away form the last post date, but i cant do fun stuff like this during the week >.<

 

ok, so here begins the trail of photos that lead to the demise of my installation.

 

Note: I reburned the DVD on 4x like you told a couple others to do.

 

SO here it starts with the -v business.

And continues...

 

 

 

and continues

continues...

continues (btw anyone can feel free to grab that warcraft 3 cd key on the bottom of my monitor )

continues.

mmhmm

then it waits for a few seconds and i click the button to continue

after i click the button it loads up this

then after it loads the next screen (which I will get back to) I go into disk utility to format my 13gb partition.

now i select the "leopard" partition and click erase

now i click erase

and after erase, i close the disck, and I am back to this screen where i click continue

theres an image inbetween where i accept the license agreement, but i skipped that picture for some reason... anyways, i end up here and click customize.

next 3 or 4 shots are my customization window

now im back here and i click install.

ok i started it out and brought up the error log

then i switched to all logs and it hung here at validating for a min or two but the bar was still animated, so i knew it wasnt frozen

this was the last new message. "extracting"

then it went on till here when the bar stopped being animated, and i was unable to move the mouse. The installation had frozen... again : /

 

 

 

 

 

so just to clarify, the explanation of each image is on the top of the image.

so now that i have shown you step by step everything... what do you think?

 

 

again thank you so much for all your help mysticus.

[ Mysticus C*]

why do you choose nvinject and 8800 at the same time? they are two different things for the same device... so you need to install only one not both!

 

you can install the entire thing w/o drivers...

 

also do not install marvell yukon driver as it may cause trouble with on board network, read my guide!!! post#2 regarding network card problem....

 

install iatkos with only the main stuffs i mentioned, do not choose any drivers!!! i said many times on board lan doesnt work people still try to install drivers on it and brick their systems...

 

just as i said, install main stuffs, and do not install any driver...

 

and use my update guide (check post #2 for the 10.5.2 update guide & files) after the installation, and in the update choose correct nvinject...

 

good luck...

[Apexmusic]

try removing one of the cards or the sli bridge to see if it helps.

 

Removing the SLI bridge didn't help, but removing the second card did! Works perfectly!

 

The annoying part is that in order to be able to boot now, I'll have to pull out the second geforce to be able to boot at all. =/ Do you know of any way I can disable the second PCI-E bus to be able to boot without pulling out the card? I don't see any obvious option for that in my BIOS. I really don't want to give up SLI for when I go to play games in Windows.

well, i dont know of sli support in the drivers, you can check in the nvinject forums and ask share your opinions over there... sorry not much help there in that subject... good luck...

 

for bios, i think there is a setting in bios for sli boost/performance or whatever it is, in my bios, you can check yours and try with the settings... apart from that no idea, as I m not really a driver developer guy... neither have in dept knowledge about it...

 

@compluva: good luck...

[compluva199]

ok, progress!

 

I got to the part of the installation where it told me i had to restart by holding down the power button, so i did, i removed the disc like it said, and then i let it boot off the correct partition. It looked liek it was going ok, until it displayed the same message that i saw on the installation asking me to restart my system by holding down the power button for a few seconds. i plugged in a ps/2 keyboard to get the installation options command line and booted with -v.

 

it displayed a plethora of messages in a rapid fire type method and stopped on

ideas?

this is what it gets stuck on in the command line:

I thk u forgot to select intelcpupowermanagement remove option... Read/see the guide on post#2 carefully!!!!

im practically certain that i did but thank you, ill try it again

ill report back soon

 

away!!

 

EDIT:ok hold on, just to clarify. Since i have an intel chipset, i should make sure this is checked or unchecked?

 

because when i click on it in the customize window, the description says "apply this to non-intel chipsets. also some cpu's - like celeron d - need this to be removed."

 

so, just double checking, select it or do not?

 

thank you again

 

EDIT2: ok im now almost positive that you meant install WITH the box xhexked. I tried to leave it unchecked and the installation froze like it used to.

 

Am going to try now with the box xheked liek you suggested.

 

will report back later for hope that people who read this will avoid the same mistakes i have been making

 

EDIT3:

 

ok, i made sure that i checked the cpupowermanagement remove and the same error occured.

 

it just starts to boot up and tells me to restart my computer.

@compluva: there are couple of things I want you and everyone who makes their own mix and match settings in custom window to know!

 

Guys, if you do not follow the guide, I cant help you! Because I cant follow really what you guys doing during custom window... During Partitioning...

 

Partitioning is important, and many of you do not have any idea about, please search & read about mac partitioning! Because some of the bootloader problems comes from wrong partitioning!

 

Next big problem is that, some of you guys like to choose their own mix and match settings in custmo window, which makes it exteremly difficult to follow for me and others who want to help you...

 

You guys reporting that you do everything crossing all "I"s and "T"s.... But some of you guys are not even doing the "A"s which is the most important...

 

Many people do not even know how to report a problem, combination of all of these (wrong partitioning, custom window selections, and god knows what else missing) makes it extremely difficult for us to help you...

 

Why do I tell these? Let me give you some of the examples... From this topic...

 

Easkay; complained that bootloader doesnt work, at the end I told him step by step everything to do, and he followed, he booted up fine w/o dvd! his problem turned out to be wrong partitioning!

 

DvP; complained that he did everything right, he didnt follow half the guide i figured... I guided him step by step, now he has a good hackintosh...

 

and some others, if you read through the posts on topic, claimed that they did everything, most of them turned out to be not reading the guide correctly, and had problems, asked them to do the things step by step from scratch and told them the basic settings as in the guide, and most of them worked fine!

 

Please read the guide correctly.... The main settings are the MUST HAVE settings for nforce! Please stop making your own judgement until you understand what you are doing! I see many newcomers everyday, jumping on the bus, but not reading my post#1 and post#2 at all or couple of sentences or paragpraphs are read and the rest is skipped, as you became professional... It doesnt work like that, installing OSX is easy if you know what you are doing, but KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE DOING takes about at least 2 weeks and several partitioning and installations which most of you want/think to hit the target in one shot!... Experience comes with the variaty of practises... IN some situations you guys will find out some answers accidently/randomly and will help others... But this will not happen in one shot! trust me, I know what I am saying...

 

Why am I writing all this noobish show off looking sentences? Because I am fed up with so many recurring errors people are doing! The guide is there with all the steps... People still do their own mix and matches... do not know how to partition, and for many days argue in the topic that things do not work although they do everything right! which 90% ofthe time turnes out to be half the things are not done correctly...

 

==========================

@compluva: erase your partition or if possible get a seperate hdd, and do a complete new partitioning from disk utilities on it, with mbr scheme... and install with the MUST HAVE selections, I mentioned in the guide, do not choose any gfx card or network card! Do not make your own judgement regarding the must have selections I showed in the guide!!!! choose exactly same things as on the guide!

 

Your problem I can think of right now is with in correct partitioning and wrong selections, since I see you are doing your own mix n matches and cant tell your partitioning...

 

good luck...
