mac_cute Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Now would I do the same even though I'm getting the still waiting for root device after I installed Osx86 to my harddrive? Probably,that is what you need...try updating the AppleNForceATA.kext from the terminal (if you have the one from the 10.5.1 or any other that does work).Try it ...

mac_cute Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do you know the command for that? To update this,put the .kext file where you can find it... -->Boot from the DVD.Open the Terminal and type something like this... sudo -s cp -Rf /"Path to"/AppleNForceATA.kext /Volumes/"Leopard or the name of your disc"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleNForceATA.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleNForceATA.kext rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/Caches reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento08 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have no luck installing 10.5.2 on my machine, mostly because my graphic card. My specs: MB: MSI-k9n6gm (nvidia mcp61 chipset) CPU: AMD X2 64 3200 GRAPHICS: NVIDIA 7300 LE 256 MB SOUND: ALC 883 LAN: ADDED REALTEK 8139 DRIVES: 1 ATA DVD 1 SATA HD (DETECTED FROM INSTALLATION NOW IN 10.5.2) 1 SATA II HD (NEVER SHOWN IN ANY INSTALLATION I TRIED) 1 ATA HD (WHERE I INSTALLED 10.5.1 BEFORE) In my first experience with 10.5.1 I managed to make “almost“ everything to work with some tweaks. I update nforce ata to access my sata drive, updated to nvinject 2.0 and then added a patch called “leonvidia“ which replaces Geforce.kext, NDVAResman.kext and third kext file I cant remember right now, after that I got QE/CI. I installed ACL883 audio package. In one of my many, many, MANY tries to install leopard, I got USB mp4 and USB external drive to work. Cant remember exactly what installation DVD I used, because as I said, I tried a lot to make my SATA disk to work. Since I finally did it, USB devices NEVER WORKED AGAING. I get “USB is unable to determine a device that has been pluged in“ (or something like that) message, every time I put an installation dvd or my system boots from disk. I reformatted and installed again, with every USB device unpluged and still got that annoing message and my external disk didn`t mount. Now I thought 10.5.2 was my salvation! But sadly it wasn´t. Yes, the installation now detects properly my SATA drive natively, so I managed to install the system in that disk. My graphics did not work. I tried all the packages and I got kernel panics, or no QE/CI. The only way to get QE is installing NVinject 2.0 and then apply that leonvidia replacement to some kexts. But although that worked in 10.5.1 in 10.5.2 gives me an odd behaviour making menues and transparencies complete black so I can`t do a thing. My USB still not work. Only keyboard and mouse work, but no external device is detected (disks, mp4s, etc) I decided to go back to 10.5.1 where almost everything seemed to work. If anyone knows a way to make my usb devices to work I will apreciate it, and if you know why my nvidia 7300 LE doesn´t work in 10.5.2 too. Thank you all. PS: Sorry for my english. I´m a spanish speaking person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurabas Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi, Anybody having slow boot problem? I have 1 IDE dvdrw + 1 IDE HDD 80GB .. Everytime I boot, it takes me 2 minutes to reach the desktop. When I'm in the Desktop .. everything is ok and fast. Its just the boot process that is soooo slow .. are there any tweaks you can suggest? Like Remove unused kext? stuff like that. Is this because I'm using both IDE devices? Specs: AMD64 3000+ MSI K9N Neo rev 1.0 2 x 512mb Apacer Memory 667 Toshiba IDE DVDRW Maxtor IDE 80gb Palit Daytona 7300LE 128mb etc etc Thank you!

Also, when I try to do software update, i get a kernal panic. Much better... This is your status: -Sound Blaster X-fi gamer:no current solution so far (as I know) -Solution:buy a new one that does work.Check the H.C.L. -FCP6:I do not have this problem,but I remember that there is a solution around here (I can not remember where it is ) -Software updates:is not recommended use the updates directly from Apple.Some of them need to be patched first.Maybe these "kernel panic" are due to that...Did you patch them first?.

8ender Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I suspect a lot of the SAM MULTIMEDIA errors that some are getting are related the version of MeDevils nForce driver included on this release. Only just recently MeDevil fixed the problem allowing certain nForce chipsets to properly mount and read discs from SATA DVD drives. I seem to get the SAM error immediately after the driver is loaded and cant continue to installation. I'm going to try an old IDE DVD drive tomorrow to confirm this.
