I have good knews for you. Withou installing the netkas, the update went perfectly and ny VGA is working fine. Now I can change the screen config. No panics and the system booted fine using the cpus=1 -v flag. And it´s running fine with the 4 Gb sticks of RAM. Don´t need to downgrade it. Should I try booting with no flags or there will always be a flag to boot OSX? I know might sound to early, but may I be able to run the 4 cores?? As everybody says here, you´re really a genius. Going to gym. Talk to ya all later. Thnx once more man.

Sorry man, I don´t know why you´re angry at me. I´m asking for help because I know you can help me. I´m not going on my own. I asked you about the 9.2.0 kernel, because I remember that I posted a pic here, where my system hangs in a message that shows 9.2.0 kernel is having trouble. I´m trying to learn here. You´re the ones who knows about this. I´m just a newbie trying to learn from you. Take a look at this pic.

Could you tell me how to save the ACPI_SMC file from the Leopard install before the Kalyway update combo?? I don´t know how to do that. I took 2 GB RAM sticks and made a clean install of iATKOS, installed all the updates and got same problem with the 9.2.0 kernel. In the image I took pic is showing that same error. I will need to change the ACPI_SMC before restarting from the update, right? If you still can help me, please tell me how to procced...

Mysticus C* Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 breaking bad... things to do: 1) install r3 and create your account... 2) once in desktop, open finder, go to drivers folder (System/library/extensions/) find these files + IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext + IOACPIFamily.kext + AppleACPIPlatform.kext + AppleAPIC.kext copy them to your desktop and right click in each of them and compress to zip file and upload it to somewhere like mediafire.com or anywhere you like... gimme the link... next thing will be trial error type... it may be the smc plugin inside platformplugin is causing problem that it doesnt support your chipset in the newer version, so i will get that for you to try... in two different forms... to see if it will have any effect... it is most likely the new smc causing the trouble... alternatively, you can try backing up these four files i named above... and do replace them in between kalyway and my gfx update pkg but you will need to do manual permission fix which if u mess up, will doom your install...

Mysticus C* Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Update News: I made a small installer for USB/Firewire not Mounting issue for another topic, but wanted to post it here as well... (also will add it to post#2 for later use...) Cause of the issue: The issue is caused of using a kernel version different than system.kext version... Esp, Kalyway 10.5.2 installs have this issue along with one more extra trouble. How? Because like in my guide i explained by default sleep kernel (9.2.0) is installed along with system.kext (9.2.2) which are different versions. Also if you didnt read my guide, you may have installed PCGENUSB2 driver as well, which is not needed for most systems (apart from handful of very old mobos, chipsets, some laptops with funny bios). If you have firewire/usb not mounting issue, first check you kernel version from terminal (uname -a) or system profiler/ software section. Find out your exact kernel version and, use the installer which i provided the link... (This installer first backs up all the files necessary before installing anything to your root volume under "backups" folder) DOWNLOAD Good Luck...

breakingbad Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Mysticus I´m not ignoring your messages. I wouldn´t do that for any reason. This afternoon I went to the shopping mall with my daughter and left logged here. No reason to ignore your messages man. I´ll back up the files you told me and post for you to download. I´m going to do it right now. Tell me about permission manually. Are you talking about the root:wheel or 0:0 that are kernel/drivers ownership permission levels???? I don´t know how to proceed with this. And if you say I could mess things up, I´ll need guidance. If there´s no problem for you. @Mysticus.

weekender Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey Mysticus, I got a problem. First, let me thank you for your support that you've been providing for all of us Nforce mobo users. I followed your instructions and everything went fine no problem. But. I'm using Mac OS X for 1 reason only: Final Cut Pro. Wether I'm using iAtkos v1.0i r3 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with the update you provided, my Final Cut just keeps crashing right after the Final Cut splash screen ends. Final Cut has been working without issue on Tiger. So I made some research and it seems that the crash on Leopard seems to have something to do with the AppleSMBIOS.kext file. So I tried every different AppleSMBIOS.kext files I could find but always ended up with a blue screen and the desktop not booting up. Maybe you have a solution Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87901-nforce-chipsets-how-to-install-leo-easy-and-fast-with-iatkos-v10i-r3-nforce-edition-or-kalyway-1052-dvd/page/52/#findComment-750248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticus C* Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 @weekender: there are two reasons to your problem on nforce chipsets. Main reason is you figured out already. I will bring two versions of smbios in an installer so you can try both to see which will solve your problem.. second reason is usually not limited to FC but large files, which is caused by 4 gb memory if you have... if you signature is correct, than dont worry about 4gb memory issue, however if you have 4 gb, take 2 gb off.... In a few mins I will write an installer for you for testing to see if it will help... @breaking bad: I will take the files now and make you an installer as well for you to be able to update without problem, but I warn you that you will always have this trouble every time major updates comes and/or these problem files in any update... you have to be aware of the problem... until you solve your bios issues... now wait a bit I will make instructions for both of you...
