Hi,

 

I've made a 5 page documentation for the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD that explains all the preinstallation, installation, and post installation process. I don't have the DVD myself but I have an accurate enough representation to make the documentation. Main source was the Kalyway release thread but I did add a lot of bits of my own :) It explains clearly for any n00bs that plan on using it :P

 

The 44kb PDF is attached and I hope you find it useful. Please take a look and tell me what you think, before I zip it up and release it to the whole wide public :D

 

Changelog:

KalywayDOCSV3 (new file attached)

  • Added a big note at the top in bold that the Kalyway DVD takes a long time to boot

KalywayDOCSV2 (new file attached)

  • Added a couple lines on how to Repair Permissions

this documentation is very helpful :P just as a comment, maybe you should add how to repair permissions an easy way? for mac beginners, when i first installed my mac i had no clue as to what i was doing. just my 2 cents.

 

other then that, i dont see anything wrong with it. Great work :D

Pink n Fluffy,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. In the next release this will be added :D I'm just waiting for others to chime in as well, and once I have some feedback I'll make the changes and re release it.

 

EDIT: I made the change and a new release has been made --> first post :P

You should mention that when booting the DVD on some hardware, it can take a substantial amount of time before the Installer screen appears.

 

I'm sure many of noobies have forced restart thinking the white background with the busy animation was a locked machine.

Overall this is an excellent guide. Some helpful hits, I would try to explain the difference between using the vanilla kernel or not and what EMI is. Since I had never herd of these terms before I had to do quite some research to find out what they ment. Other than that, thanks!

shadow257,

 

I put that info in the Newbies FAQ to OSx86 I wrote (stickied in the Tutorials Genius Bar forum). Since this is documentation directly centered on the Kalyway DVD, and since EFI is more of a general topic, I don't think its neccessary but many thanks for offering a suggestion :D

 

Noom,

 

You're welcome!

Great guide V2, I should have read this friday, because I have a problem that you mentioned in your guide about kalyway having problems installing from an IDE dvd drive, that way I should not have wasted my whole weekend trying to install it. By the way have you heard of any way to fix that? Will an external dvd drive work?

Its a problem with IDE drives on the JMicron controller, if you have a different SATA controller (e.g. ICHx) then connect the DVD drive to that and it'll work.

 

muitommy,

 

You're welcome :)

 

How do I know if I have a jmicron controller? also I do not have any sata inputs in my motherboard, hard drives and dvd drives are ide, is there a work around this?

Hi pcwiz, I had a lot of troubles installing Leopard from the iAtkos release, I tried R2 and afterwards with the EqUaTe's Patch too, but no success...

I hope the Kalyway's release will bring me the luck I need :)

 

thx in advance for this clean guide, tomorrow i'll let you know if it was a success;)

Hi!

 

Thank you for the documentation of Kalyway. It is really great tutorial! 

 

I have motherboard with JMicron. Can I install Kalyway from DVD SATA to disk non-SATA? My hardware:

 

Intel Core 2 DUo

ASUS motherboard with JMicron

GeForce 8800

2GB RAM

HDD SATA 500GB (for Windows)

HDD ATA 160GB (for MacOSX Kalyway)

DVD-RW SATA

 

I've already installed Kalyway to disk ATA but I can't boot it. In a few tutorials I've read that I should turn off JMicron Controler. However if I disable JMicron Controler, I don't see ATA devices (so disk with MacOSX). Could you tell me if I can use Kalyway on ATA disk on my motherboard (ASUS with JMicron)? Should I buy second SATA disk? Would it be solution for my poroblem?

 

Help me, please... :(

 

Best regards,

MDW
