Specs: Asus A8N SLI Deluxe; AMD 64 4000+; 1.5GB DDR 400 (dual Channel); Leaktek 7600GT;

I've installed on both SATA and IDE HDDs with the same results. I've used both SSE3 Kernels, forcedeath, nforce, AC97, 10.5.2 Nvidia Kext +256MB Nvinject and installation goes perfectly, I boot into Leopard with everything working. I can leave the computer running for days with no problem.

My problem is (I believe downloading causes it) the system will randomly crash giving me the screen to hold the power button down. Everytime it happens, I've got several apps open working on various things but the one consistent aspect is that there has always been a download taking place. System Profilier does not show any problems (that I can see).

This is frustrating because the system seems to run perfectly minus these lockups.

Any ideas?

Hi all!

I installed Zephyroth Leo 10.5.2 on my computer:

ASUS M2N DH

AMD Athlon 64 3800+

IDE DVD RW

IDE HDD - LEOPARD 10.5.2

SATA HDD - WIN XP

 

During the installation I selected only efi for mbr (mbr partition table).

Chain0 is on XP HDD.

10.4.10 worked great, but after installing 10.5.2 I can't boot on Leo - CHAIN BOOTING ERROR.

Please, help!

 

Installation without efi give the same result

Hello,

 

i installed "Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2" after first problems with booting the system now works good.

But i have no Sound and no wired Network:

- Sound driver (ADI1981HD/ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio) - not working

- LAN (Broadcom 57xx) - not working

 

I have also installed on another Partition Tiger 10.4.9 and I use for sound the AzaliaAudio.kext and for LAN the AppleBCM5751Ethernet2.kext and it works.

 

My question is can i use the .kext from the 10.4.9 System to the 10.5.2 System?

- Is this depending on the Kernel?

- Where i get the 2 driver for 10.5.2 or can i make the driver self?

 

 

My specs:

HP Notebook NX6325

Mac version 10.4.9 uphuck v1.3

Mac version 10.5.2 AMD ZyphAMD

Installed 10.5.2 On the following system.

ABIT KV8 Max3 Mobo

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (754) Venice core (SSE3).

2x512 Gb DDR2 RAM (reported on LEO as 2Gb!!! (1Gb per slot)???!!!! (Any suggestions).

NV 7600GS AGB (256MB) Working (QE/CI supported) but no AGP up to now.

Integrated sound (AC97) Working (but speech not working!!) (using AC97 Drivers option)

Network Working (skge.kext)

 

Notes:

Had to reinstall several times (A lot of crashes during setup if I select all needed stuff).

at the end I added only VIA Drivers and MBR EFI.

Some crashes during setup (as reported on the history window). Setup stalled at the very end. But system did start after reboot.

After the system configuration wizards I installed the remaining Drivers (Nvidia, Network and Audio) using pacifist. Run Marvin and repaired permuissions just in case. Also replaced DevIds in the NV* and Ge* kexts. After that system booted properly with QE/CE support sound and network.

[Ben Reilly]

PC: AMD Athlon64 x2 Dual Core 3800+

Graphics: Inno3D Geforce 7300GT 256mb DDR2 PCIe QE/CI supported

Mobo: Elitegroup C51GM-M Northbridge C51PV/G Southbridge MCP51/G

Sound: AC97 Audio built-in Works? YES

Extra items selected during install: AC97 Audio driver, NVidia Chipset driver, NVinject drivers, MBR bootloader

Overall/Summary: Works OOTB but has some kinks. Front Row inadvertedly stops when movie trailer finishes. 'About This Mac' crashes. USB devices mounts ok.

 

I tried the solution on making About This Mac work, but after applying the patch, USB devices stopped working. That's the only quirk I have of this build so far. Everything else I've encounered I've managed to find good solutions for.

 

My question remains this; Howto implement the About This Mac solution without affecting USB devices not being mounted?

 

Overall, I appreciate all the hard work you guys have been doing. More power.

^{Successfull install.}

 

^{First of all, I'd like to join everyone and thanks Zephyroth for all the time he puts in this project. This release is awesome.}

 

^{I installed 10.5.2, and everything seem good so far.}

 

^{My specs:}

^{OS X: Leopard 10.5.2 R1 by Zephyroth}

^{Board: EVGA 131-K8-NF44-AX NF4}

^{Memory: 2GB OCZ Platinum}

^{CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo}

^{Graphic: MSI GeForce 7800 GTX 256 (now working with NVInject 0.2.1/10.5.2 kext also QE/CI)}

^{Integrated Audio: AC97}

^{HD: WD 160GB}

^{DVD - IDE CW-8123-C Slot Drive from iMac}

 

^{My install options:}

^{MBR formatted in DISK UTILITY, Kernel 9.2.0, EFI (MBR), Forcedeth.kext, NVidia+NVinject, Azelia Audio (removed), NForce Chipset.}

 

^{The install did hang at 1 minute (had to hard reboot), and rebooting from DVD + reinstalling with same options trick didn't make it finish completely, but it worked nonetheless.}

 

^{The first time I used the AC97 but it didn't worked, so I tried Azelia, and it didn't worked either. From there I just deleted Azelia, and use the ALC850-Install.zip floating around, and this time it kicked in .}

 

^{BTW, I tried to use my Pioneer SATA DVD drive first to install from the DVD but got a "Waiting for root device" stuck. Using a IDE slot drive picked from a broken iMac here worked like a charm (just a bit noisy).}

 

^{Also, I got random Kernel Panic on my first day of use. After looking at the log, I shut down the widgets board with ONYX, and so far got no crash. Another user suggested to replace forcedeth.kext with Forcedeth_nockd.kext.}

 

^{UPDATE: I did reinstall from scratch, but this time using GUID formatting and GUID EFI. Installation process finished this time, and everything booted and worked from the very first boot.}

You must choose one or the other. The ToH Kernal SSE3 9.2.0 requires EFI to be installed. Did you select EFI as well? You can install EFI over an MBR partition. The easiest way to go further would be to Boot the DVD, then erase your partition and re-install. Make sure you select the EFI bootloader, ToH Kernal SSE3 9.2.0 or ToH Kernal SSE3 9.1.0 (choose one only), and MBR (if you prefer MBR).

 

 

You more than likely will get kernel panics afterwards due to your onboard video, but thats an easy fix.

Hi guys,....tried to install this Zephyroth 10.5.2 for my AMD but no luck...it's stuck always on Installing Essentials.pkg...with a strange message "Could not find LeoFix.pkg in /System/Installation/Packages..."

 

How can I pass over this...

 

I tried to look on dvd content...in /System subdirs....and ...it's true..the LeoFix.Pkg isn;t there.... ?!

 

PS: my mistake... i tried again to find that pkg..and ..it's there..

Another strange thing: On Disk Utility at installation my disks aren't detected..neither SATA or IDE... but in BIOS are..

 

What is wrong guys? ...

[Anjan Tek]

I've got an Asus M2N-MX SE board. The AMD Athlon X2 processor supports SSE3.

 

Specs

Chipset:                                     NVIDIA GeForce6100 / nForce430

RAM:                                          1GB DDR2

VGA:                                          Integrated GeForce 6100 GPU

Storage/RAID:                           NVIDIA MCP61P

LAN:                                           nForce PHY 10/100 LAN

Audio:                                        ALC662 High Definition Audio 6-channel CODEC

 

When choosing the custom components to install, the following are what I choose:

9.2.0 TOH Kernel

nForce 2/3/4/5 Chipset drivers

Azalia audio

nVidia 10.5.2 kexts and 128 MB nVInject 0.2.0 for the Graphics driver.

forcedeth LAN driver

EFI v8 + MBR bootloader. I've set up a MBR partition table.

 

The install hangs at "Time Remaining: About a minute". As mentioned in the Known Issues of Zephyroth's site: http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues, I hard reboot and without entering the Disk Utility again, I start the installation again (choosing the same custom options).

 

But, the installation hangs again at the same point.

 

Am I choosing the wrong custom options?

 

Should I not select any custom options the second time around?

 

What will happen if I select ALL 3rd party drivers?

 

Someone please help.

 

Thanks.

Just an FYI:

I've figured out why my system was getting kernel panics after running for an hour or so. I replaced forcedeth.kext with Forcedeth_nockd.kext. I've been downloading all night without a lock up/kernel panic. Hope this helps!

I got the same problem. Just move the mouse around as it says "About 4 minutes" (till end). DON'T let your hackMac work alone (It sounds very silly but it really worked for me ) and voila, here is the screen "Installation successful". Just press the Restart button but why is it so ?????

Hope it work for you.

[Anjan Tek]

Continuing from my previous post, I should probably add that it doesn't hang always. Sometimes, when it says "Time Remaining: About a minute", the computer switches off. Then, on restart, if I try to boot from the Leopard partition, with -v, I get the following message as the last line before the computer becomes unresponsive (not an exact quote):

 

"...InterfaceName: no network interfaces found - could not update platform UUID".

 

Any ideas?

 

@Mr.Karamello: I'll try keeping the Mac installation occupied by moving the mouse. How sure are you that this actually helps? How many times has this happened?

 

Thanks.

Well, here we go

 

at one point i had 10.5.2 sucesfully installed on my AMD system, however i had to format, and im running into one HUGE issue

 

Everytime i try to install I get to the "less than one minute left" part, and of coures it freezes, now i read that this is a common issue, and to just install again and it should ONLY install what wasnt installed on the first go around, however im running into this endless problem where i go to install, it keeps stalling with under one minute left, and then again i reboot reinstall, and its the same thing over and over again.

 

The first run through with this DVD it took 2 tries to install, however im up to try 5 and no dice. Anyone know what i can do to fix this?

Same here, but it did work anyway.

 

After several install attempt with different settings, I removed the "reboot and reinstall again" step from my routine. It might work for some, not me.

 

Try installing until that 1 minute hang, and when your dvd goes sleep, hard reboot and try your Leo from there.

I tried that one of the times, and once leopard tried to load it instant kicked me to that restart screen, though i cant remember if i tried with -x or straight up. Ill try again oncei get home, i know its possible to get it working because i did before with the same DVD on the same computer, something told me to clone the drive but of course i didnt

What happens for me is that I install Mac OS X just fine, I partition the HD as MBR, and then I set the MBR as the EFI in the customize section of the disc. I also select the 9.2.0 kernel. After I restart I just get the blinking cursor over and over again.

 

Is there any fix to this?

1 - Boot with the DVD.

2 - Press F8, then type "-s"

3 - type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"

4 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8" (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)

5 - Reboot
