i*C Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have read that its possible to patch kalyway PC-EFI and OSX unmodified karnel so that it will enable end user to get advantage of all apple updates. Have anybody do it? Ane success? What is the process?Also, booting with 'vanilla' what does it do exactly? I know its a good way to test computability of the vanilla kernel but what exactly is that?

i*C Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73952 This is your topic on EFI instalation. My question is will it erase my BIOS?

~pcwiz Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 macciti, EFI and vanilla is automatically installed with Kalyway. My guide pack (this thread) explains it. And then yes, you can use Apple updates.

Castigator Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 OK, so.. after wanting to jump off a building I am finally installed. Everything seems to work no problems, even my PCI firewire. I am not stable tho I am still getting allot of random kernel panics. Currently I am running maxmem=3072 because I was reading around that 4GB RAM can be troublesome with AHCI. I have tried combinations of both as well. OSX runs in all instances of limiting RAM and not, AHCI on and not. I installed perfectly from the guide. Checked and double checked everything. Any others ideas for me? Thanks everyone.

Fesob Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 That must be an issue with Blu ray drives cause I installed and booted from a Pioneer DVR-212D SATA drive just fine. This is true. I can't find the link but it's an issue with this Pioneer Blue Ray drive and some motherboards. In AHCI there is no way to boot from this drive; it doesn't even boot with a Windows (XP or Vista) disc. I'd like the people to be aware of this issue, just in case someone is having problem with the same drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90795-guide-installer-leopard-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3pds3rds4-1052-efi/page/6/#findComment-678414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 This would be going to too much trouble, but if you wanted you could custom edit the DVD to have the ApplePIIXATA driver by Dune to load at DVD boot and then your SATA devices would work fine in native IDE mode, no AHCI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90795-guide-installer-leopard-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3pds3rds4-1052-efi/page/6/#findComment-678655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 No, should be OK bugsnt means that once you install 10.5.2 you will never go back to whatever you were using before Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90795-guide-installer-leopard-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3pds3rds4-1052-efi/page/6/#findComment-679664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
i*C Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 do you think its worth updating? what is better in 10.5.2 update?

~pcwiz Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I think its worth it, almost every bug that was in 10.5.0 and 10.5.1 has been fixed in 10.5.2, plus you get a small speed boost too. And with your current specs, the update should go painlessly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90795-guide-installer-leopard-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3pds3rds4-1052-efi/page/6/#findComment-679953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
