MacObsessed Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi eddie11c Firstly, I'm a bit of a n00b at this. I've never added any kexts to an ISO or anything. My last attempt was installing Zephyroth's 10.5.2 on my system (specs below) but I continue to get the "still waiting for boot device" message which I think means that my chipset isnt supported. I've looked through the RTF for the Leo4Allv3 release you created (thanks by the way!!) , and I don't see the 790fx chipset listed.. is that one supported? I'd love to tell you where the KEXT is but I cant seem to find it... though I do find a lot of people looking for it. Any help is appreciated. see sig for specs.

fredperes Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Sucess! But...the ATI driver did not work very well, using ati x1600. I managed to run only in 1024x768. I had to reinstall the system, without the ati driver, and after installation used Natit driver: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;hl=965p-ds3 Now I have 1680x1050!

Even the firewire port is working since changing USB Legacy option in BIOS. (Maybe a coincidence0. Thanks Regards Lucia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkDi99ler Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I too need 790fx chipset support. Does anyone know of a disc image that supports that chipset for a DFI Lanparty DK 790FX-M2RS AM2+/AM2 motherboard? If I can't get Mac OS installed on this, I'm "bleeped"...

Cradle Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey there, i'm currently running windows xp pro and linux ubutnu on my pc, so, i put the " leo4all " dvd in my drive and installed it on the " linux ubuntu ' partition, all went fine, but after the installation, it restarted my computer and after that,my pc can't detect any OS-es installed on my pc no more. The error i get is the following: GRUB Loading, Stage 1.5. GRUB Loading, please wait... Error 17 -- So, i don't have any acces to my computer no more, this has happened to me once, so now, i inserted my windows xp cd, and went to " repair windows xp " and i typed bootcfg /default and it found 1: [C] windows ... so i put this as the default boot. i restarted my pc again, and i got the same error. So i was wondering if someone knows how to fix this, because i have a lot of work to do on my pc. Maybe there's a bootable software or something that detects OS-es without any problem, is there? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, [C]radle.eXe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cradle Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hey eddie, i just formatted the linux containing partition and installed windows xp on it so that i can modifiy the boot.ini document to regain access to my older windows xp.After i did that , i deleted this partition completely,so that i can install the MAC OS X (leo4all) and i want to have my current windows xp (not the one that i installed after, the old one) and MAC to run on my pc. So, the installation of MAC was succesful, but after my computer restarts, it reboots from the leo4all dvd, and it proposes me to install MAC OS X one more time.And if i remove the Leo4all DVD from my drive and restart my pc, all i get is a " BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER " Any help would be appreciated. Here is my system config: Processor: AMD Athlon 64x2 2.80 Ghz Motherboard: ASUS M2N-E RAM: 3GB of RAM Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT 512 Mo Thanks in advance eddie, or anyone else that helps me.

eddie11c Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 You will need to flag your XP partition active again with fdisk then use it to load Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cradle Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 And how am i supposed to install the " fdisk " software on my computer if i don't have access to windows xp ? I forgot to tell that my processor is an ASUS and not an intel. So i don't know if it works.. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinLinMac01 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 restart and insert your Mac OS X DVD. 19). Instead of Booting in the DVD, press F8 and boot with -s. 20). To use the Darwin bootloader, you will have to write a new MBR. Follow the commands below- fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 write yes quit reboot 21). Now after reboot, you should see the Darwin bootloader active again, and when you press enter, Windows NTFS will be the foreign O/S installed on your system in addition to Mac OS X. By default, after 8 seconds, Darwin should boot off the Mac OS X partition. However, you can always select the Windows Vista partition anytime you have to access that O/S. And how am i supposed to install the " fdisk " software on my computer if i don't have access to windows xp ? I forgot to tell that my processor is an ASUS and not an intel. So i don't know if it works.. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispc88 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to install leo4all version 3 and I can't get the DVD to boot. First let me explain a little about what I've done and tried. I had Jas 10.4.8 installed on my computer, and had a power surge that knocked out the USB ports on that MoBo. So I decided to buy a new MoBo (Intel DG35EC - details: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...sp?Sku=I69-2168 ) and install leo4all v3. However, when I put in the new MoBo I got stuck at the com.apple.boot.plist problem. After doing some reading I decided the problem was with my IDE optical drive. So I just got a new SATA optical drive, and I'm no longer getting that problem, but now I'm getting an entirely new problem. So far I haven't seen where anyone else has had this problem on the forums... When booting the install DVD (leo4all v3) I get as far as... Extension "com.apple.driver.ApplePCIConfigurator" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style I also tried the -v option, and it got stuck at the same place. Next I tried -x option and it got a little further. After that line it then goes on to... mbinit: Done Security auditing service present BSM Auditing service present From Path "uuid" Waiting for Boot volume with UUID 69B78657-814A-3f0C-A28D-IaI4358A8B98 Waiting on <dict id="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string id="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResources</key><string id="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> And again it gets stuck there. (If you need I can provide line for line everything that happens up to this point - I just didn't want to have to type that all out if I don't need to) I have tried just about every bios setting I can think of to fix this (just trial and error, I'm not an expert with this stuff by any means) but nothing seems to make a difference (except that some things prevent the DVD from booting at all). Also, I thought I should mention, the HDD does have WinXP Pro SP2 installed and the entire drive is formated with one NTFS partition. I was going to use the Disc Utility on the DVD to wipe the drive and partition it - then after getting Mac OS X installed, I was going to re install WinXP fresh. My System stats are as follows.... Intel DG35EC MotherBoard [Northbridge: G35 Express, Southbridge: ICH8] Intel Core2Duo 2.13 Ghz E6420 Lite-ON 20X DVDRW SATA LH-20A1S-12 WD Caviar 500GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G If you need anymore information about my system just let me know.

eddie11c Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Try booting with rd=disk#s# to point to your DVD drive. Sometimes this will get you past the initial waiting for root device message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie11c Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 yes. Just replace the # with the proper disk and partition number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
