nickpl Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 So, getting Kalyway 10.5.1 was really hard for me, so I'm posting what I had to go to get it working on my Intel d965WH; hopefully saving someone else some time in the future My system: Intel d965WH P4 3.00GHz with HT 3 GB Ram 120 GB Seagate (IDE, with sata to IDE adapter) DVD writer (IDE with sata to IDE adapter) Biostar 7600GS PS2 keyboard USB mouse Things you will need (there may be other ways that don’t require all of these things... but my instructions will): Kalyway 10.5.1 burned to a DVD A hard drive formatted as MacOS extended (Journaled), and if you have the choice, MBR [note: Kalyway CANNOT do this for you, there's a bug in the disk utility that’s included in it, if you try to use it, everything will pretend to install ok, but when you try to boot all you will get is a blinking line... very frustrating I ending up using a jas 10.4.8 install DVD on another computer to format the drive for me.] A USB thumb drive A SATA hard drive (or a sata to ide adapter for an IDE hard drive) A SATA DVD driver (or a sata to ide adapter for an IDE hard drive) The latest bios installed on your d965wh motherboard Lots of time A PCIe video card (I used the Nvideo 7600GS because it is supported just about 100% in Kalyway 10.5.1) ================= So the first thing to do is turn on ACHI in your bios (under drive settings; RAID will also work... sometimes; its flacky, ACHI is for shure) and also turn on HPET (under chipset settings) once you have those turned on make shure that the only drives that are plugged into the computer are the hard drive that you want to install OSX on (already formatted as MacOS extended (Journaled)) and the DVD reader. At that point turn the computer on (make shure the bios is set to boot off the DVD drive) and put the DVD in. After a few moments you should get a screen that has an 8-10 second count down on it and says that you can push f8. Push f8 and it will give you a command prompt. Type in there exactly "-v vanilla" without the quotes. Then push enter and a bunch of stuff you fly up the screen. Now go get lunch, or dinner, or a big snack; this part will take a LONG time (anywhere from 15 minutes to a half hour). You computer might look like it’s locked up... that's normal; as long as the light on the DVD drive is blinking you’re ok. If your computer gets stuck on that part that says "waiting on..." then that means that you don’t have a PCIE video card in the computer... go get one! Eventually you'll get to a screen that will ask you to pick a language, choose that and click the next arrow, then it will says something about a piece of apple with a bit of hip hop, click next on that. Then it should show you an agreement thing, read carefully then hit I agree. Then it should ask you to choice a destination for the installation, choice the drive listed in there and hit next. If there is no drive listed then that means that you didn’t format your hard drive MacOS extended... go do that and start again... and remember, don’t use the disk utility built into Kalyway unless you have patched it. After clicking continue, it will give you a page that says installation summary; click on customize... and I choice these settings: Vanilla Kernel ACPIPlatform SSE2_system (because I have a P4 processer) (Under video_drivers) NVINJECT_gfnidia_desktop (because I have an Nvidia card) (Under bootloaders) unchecked guid and checked mbr Then hit ok and then install It will start checking the DVD; I skipped that, but if you have the time, or your install is going oddly, you should let it run, it could be that your install DVD is messed up. If the installer crashed just as it gets to the very end, that means that you have a hard drive that you formatted mbr, but you choice guid from the customize screen, or vise-versa. Now you are in the home stretch, after the install is done remove the DVD and let it boot. with any luck you will get right into OSX. If not, here's what I had to do to fix that. First, if you get a blinking dos line and nothing else then that means that there is something wrong with the drive; either you formatted it wrong (for example, you used the disk utility in Kalyway to format the drive) or you are having boot loader problems. Try reformatting the drive and start again, or ask someone that knows more about this then I do for some help. The next problem that I ran into was that the computer would only start booting for about a second, and then it would reboot on its own, and my computer just kept rebooting over and over again. To fix that I pushed f8 on boot up, which gave me a command prompt and typed "tohkernel -f -v" (again without the quotes) and that booted me right into OSX. In order to keep from having to type that every time, I added the commands to my com.apple.Boot.plist file. So my file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>tohkernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-f -v</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>2</string> </dict> </plist> At that point there are only two things missing to make my osx86 install perfect, sound and Ethernet. The Ethernet I had no luck with, there are no drivers that I could find... Please post if you have any. In the mean time you can either buy an add-in card or, like me, use the firewire connection. AS far as the audio, I did a Linux codec dump (from a fedora core install I used the command "cat /proc/asound/Intel/codec#2 > /home/internal/audiodump.txt") I then used that and the HDA patcher to get audio up and running; you can give my files a try if you want, they are attached, but you really should make your own dump if you have problems. Hopefully this will save someone else hours of banging their head on the wall... there are probly some extra steps in here, but I know very little about OSX, so I listed everything I did, I also never written a how-to, so I really hope that this is easy enough to follow, let me know if you need clarification anywhere... if you still have problems with your OSX install, you can definitely ask a question... I probly won't be able to help you very much, but I will try my best, and hopefully someone who knows more then the both of us will come by and help -Nick 9271D_audio_dump_and_patcher.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
