Anjan Tek Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If I've got onboard nvidia graphics, should I choose any nvInject? What size do I choose, as the size is modifiable through the BIOS? Why are there special options just for ALC883 and 888. What if I've got a ALC662? What will happen if I select more than one driver? What will happen if I select ALL third party drivers? Why are 2 kernel options given? Shouldn't 9.2 be better than 9.1? Is there any particular model for which one would select 9.1? What will happen if I select both bootloaders? I've gone through the installation at least 20 times, with both MBR and GUID partition tables. Still I can't find the write combination of drivers. Sometimes it hangs at About a minute left. Rebooting and installing again - hangs again. Sometimes, at about a minute left, the machine switches off. Booting off the Leopard volume with -v, stops at the message "...InterfaceNamer: no network interfaces found - could not update platform UUID".

bushd Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If I've got onboard nvidia graphics, should I choose any nvInject? What size do I choose, as the size is modifiable through the BIOS? Try it, it might work. try the size you selected in your BIOS. Why are there special options just for ALC883 and 888. What if I've got a ALC662? There are just those two drivers, because a DVD has only 4,3GB and those are the most needed by Zeph's "Team" What will happen if I select more than one driver? Then more than one driver will be installed, and the System will hopefully choose the right one. What will happen if I select ALL third party drivers? Then ALL drivers will be isntalled! Why are 2 kernel options given? Shouldn't 9.2 be better than 9.1? Is there any particular model for which one would select 9.1? You didn't specify your CPU so i can't halp you with the decition which to choose, but I can tell you this: If you have a SSE2 only CPU don't select an Kernel (the standard-SSE2-CPU will be installed) IF you have a SSE3 CPU choose 9.2, if this kernel doesn't work choose 9.1. What will happen if I select both bootloaders? Why should you?

Anjan Tek Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thank you, bushd, for your reply. more than one driver will be installed, and the System will hopefully choose the right one. So, if I'm unsure of the exact hardware, is it OK to just select all 3rd party drivers, and let the system choose the correct one? If that is the case, then why confuse users at all, by giving them options (sometimes not clearly labelled options). A few MB of extra disk space in approximately 8 GB installation size is negligible, isn't it? IF you have a SSE3 CPU choose 9.2, if this kernel doesn't work choose 9.1. I've got a SSE3 CPU. It would have been so much more helpful if the above sentence had been there in the installer. Just clarifying: Is it a limitation of the Apple installer that doesn't allow the use of radio buttons? Enforcing the choice of just ONE bootloader, and just ONE kernel will make matters so much simpler. Even if only check boxes are allowed, isn't it possible to deselect the conflicting boxes when another is selected. And, there is a generous amount of text box space to give a neat little explanation of the options, instead of just repeating the name of the option in a sentence format. The options may be self-explanatory to a OSx86 veteran, but not to anyone else. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. Sorry for taking it out on you. I know you are only trying to help. Zephyroth and 'team' have done an awesome job. But, what I don't understand is why people who are capable of such amazing pieces of work totally ignore these tiny things. After testing with various options, and (patiently) installing & reinstalling about 25 times, I realised that the install wouldn't complete even with no options selected. What finally worked was disabling my audio and LAN through BIOS before installing. Even then the install did not complete. But after hanging at 'about a minute', I just hard reset and let it boot from the HD. No error! Yippee! But, then the screen color kept alternating between a gray and black with the mouse pointer in the top-left corner. Reset, booted from HD with -x. The user creation screen magically appeared! Then, after creating the user, rebooting and making sure that I was able to boot without -x, I manually installed forcedeth-nokcd.kext and AppleAzaliaAudio.pkg. AppleAC97Audio did not work. Had to disable USB Legacy mode in the BIOS for USB to work. Used kext helper to install kexts. Going back to the install: I chose neither the audio nor the LAN drivers in the customize screen of the install. I chose 9.2 kernel, nforce 2/3/4/5, nVidia 10.5.2 graphics (no nVInject), MBR + EFI. I had already tried this combination once before without success. On boot (even with -x), I had ended up with that InterfaceNamer error I mentioned in my previous post. The only difference this time was that I had both Audio and network disabled in the BIOS. BUT, after install, once I was able to boot to the desktop, turning the audio and network on, in the BIOS, did not affect the boot process. It still booted fine. The components started functioning only after installing the kexts (obviously). My point is that, enabling them once the user is created seems not to affect the OS. Am I wrong in assuming this? Thanks for putting up with me and my long post. Anjan T.
