xx66stangxx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I got 10.5.2 to install. I installed it over my Tiger install and I selected my video card drivers, lan drivers, 9.2.0 ToH kernel ext. The computer restarts and I get the grey screen with the apple then I get a darwin panic and the computer restarts. I booted in -v and this is what I got: Any suggestions on how to fix this?

anyname Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I acidentally posted my question to the wrong forum part. It is here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...t=0#entry631472 Can anyone confirm the kernel_task problem on a successfully installed Zephyroth installation? And yes, previous poster: I got this )or a very similar) problem trying to install on a VMWare Workstation, while it installed fine on my second real comuter. It seems to be a hardware problem (incompatibility issue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazyazoo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I am getting a screen that says I need to restart the computer by pressing the restart button or power. It never gets past this. What is wrong? I did install on PATA 320 gb. Nothing else on the drive. I get to installation complete on MBR, Volumes/Leopard partition. When it reboots it goes to a screen telling me to restart in about 3 languages. I tried to go to boot options then sudo -s (SUDO for some reason doesn't work for me) fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0 update f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard) w q reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anyname Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Please somebody help me...... I just finished installing on a tx1220 laptop, and although it boots up. When I go to disk utility, disk utility shows that it has detected a fatal s.m.a.r.t error. The thing is that everything else works fine under vista, no errors in the HD. This little error is preventing the kexts from properly loading up. So it making me go without sound, wireless, or qe/qci. can somebody help me? s.m.a.r.t errors normally are detected by the BIOS (your motherboard). there is normally an option to switch s.m.a.r.t detection off - which prevents the BIOS to stop : BUT you never should do that, because a s.m.a.r.t. error is a serious hint for a near end of live of your harddrive ! if it is really such an error, exchange your harddrive.

anyname Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'll repost my question here: Has anyone of the successfull installers discovered a strange processor power behaviour of the Zephyroth installation? Can someone confirm, that the Zephyroth installation is constantly using abaout 50 percent processor power on an Athlon 64 4000+ processor? Installation was surprisingly successful (some minor screen refreshing issues while installing). And I was very happy at first. It even regognices an about 6 years old graphic tablet (for thre PC!) and supports it seemlessly !! Network, usb keyboard, sound, a windows trackball mouse ... all is working perfectly! But ...after a while playing arround with it, I discovered, that it uses constantly allot of processing power (even obviously doing nothing) ... That's a pitty, because a system which uses permanently 50 percent of a modern processor is quite a little bit useless to seriously work with, I think. Is there any workaround yet ??? Ah well, I forgot to say, that it is exactly the: kernel_task module, which uses constantly 50 percent of the power (seen in system profiler). Unfortunately I haven't installed some development tools yet to examine the problem in depth ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razinx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 So with EFI can we perform official updates? Also, is this only 32 bit, and only 1 core support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyname Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 So with EFI can we perform official updates? Also, is this only 32 bit, w/ only 1 core support? core and bit are completely different shoes. BUT YUCHHEEE !!! I got the kernel_task problem solved! If someone wants to know what I did, feel free to ask *smile* I'll publish the entire installation story later here ... Now I am really euphoric about that release!

anyname Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well, here is my success story! I installed on following constellation (there is a complete dumped out profile (MacOSX System Profiler) in PDF Format attached here): Motherboard: MSI K8T Neo2 v.2 (VIA K8T800 Pro + 8237R Plus Chipset based) Processor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (socket 939) Graphic: nVidia 6200 256MB DDR AGP8X, 64bit Dual RAMDAC 400MHz Drives: 2 IDE ATA Drives (IDE1 Master, Slave) MacOSX is installed on Slave Network: 1 = integrated on Motherboard, 2 = PCI Card (Realtec) Audio: 1 = AC97 (integrated on motherboard), 2 = SB (Creative) PCI 128 Mouse: 1 = Logitech USB Trackball Mouse, 2 = Noname USB Graphic Tablet by TCM (Tschibo Germany) Keyboard: Standard (illuminated) USB Keyboard (PC) DVD/CD: 2 LG SuperMulti DVD RAM Drives As mentioned, there is a complete and very detailled description in the attached "profile.pdf". All is working as expected. Even all the Quartz effects are performed smoothly! There seems to be a little problem when plugging in external USB memory devices. They are not recogniced obviously. And I did not manage to get Windows Filesharing and FTP via Network working ... but sharing via HTTP works fine. Shurely I have to test more intensively next. But it all works quite good, without the need of any manual intervention! Except one thingy so far: The second Network Adapter was not connected. This seemed to cause the processor to drive constantly about 50 percent ... I disabeled it and voila! The processor is acting normal now. profile.pdf Ok, so everything was running well , then I did some updates, consisted of mostly iLife stuff and Aperture, after restarting I can't even get the darwin loader, just a blinking cursor, what now?? For such reasons, one makes a system backup! I recommend "ACRONIS True Image 10". With this (PC) Tool you can boot up and save any partition (sector copy) to external or internal backup devices (including network and DVD) to save your propper installations. Even if you do updates like hell ... If anything goes wrong, you simply play back the backup and youre done! *smile* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burbruee Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a problem, two actually.. a ) Audio not working. Selected ALC888 6 ports Digital when installing Leopard. I have 6 ports and a SPDIF on board so it was the correct one, right? Well, after I boot into Leopard I get no sound, but instead an error telling me that ALCInject.kext has been installed incorrectly. b ) When I try to download a file with Safari (Like Skype, Firefox) Leopard dies. Telling me to restart or power off my computer. So I can't do much at the moment really. =/ Cpu: AMD Athlon64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz) Mem: 2048 MB Kingmax 800 MHz Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 (nForce 570) Sound: Built-in Realtek ALC888 Net: Built-in Marvell (working) Gfx: XFX Geforce 7200GS 128 MB (working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_VI Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 with about 7 mins left i get a message saying "INSTALL FAILED. The Installer could not validate the contents of the 'JavaTools' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" i can not figure out what it means anyone have an idea what i should do? Yes, I have the same problem. Once it was the same mistake, in other cases there were mistakes in package "essentials". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulls2213 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 anyone have any luck with this on an HP dv6000 (AMD model)? i pretty much gave up on this machine...every version i've tried (10.4.7, 10.4.8, 10.5.1) failed to detect my internal hard drive, and unless anyone's had any success i don't really feel like going through the hassle again.

Carpet Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have the same problem. I am going to try to select different thigs before installing. did you install EFI? I think the kernel you are using requires EFI if you didn't install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
