This is my hardware; Case: Antec P182 Motherboard: ASUS P5K-E WiFi RAM: 2x2GB Transcend 800 (will be upgrading to 4x2GB Transcend 800) Graphics Card: GIGABYTE 8800GTS 512MB (G92) Hard-Drives: Western Digital 400GB IDE, Maxtor 500GB SATA CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 Heatsink/Fan: Zalman CNPS 9700LED DVD Drive: SATA 20x Monitor: ASUS VW222U (22'') Speakers: Altec Lansing VS4121 Keyboard: Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0 Mouse: Logitech (can find the model number, but it's a laser mouse) Do any of them need patching?

~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Do some research. Search InsanelyMac using Google for each of your important hardware components (motherboard, video card, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks, but would it be alright for someone to list the patches that I need, and how I should go about about applying them? Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 OK I'll do the research for you now, but make sure to research next time Watch this post, I'm gonna research what you need and post it here EDIT: OK heres a full install guide for iATKOS with your motherboard: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=69132 Scroll down to the "EDIT: iATkOS" line in that post and read from there, the top part is for Leopard flat image (you don't need it). And also, don't install the 8800 graphics card driver mentioned in that guide either, because its for G80 and yours is G92. You can use this method for your card: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=89001 Or if that one doesn't work, this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78980 Make sure that when you are installing iATKOS you choose all the EFI and vanilla options because your CPU supports it. That should cover everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 OK I'll do the research for you now, but make sure to research next time Watch this post, I'm gonna research what you need and post it here That's why I always give you links to the answers for your questions instead of just the answer directly. Force people to learn or they will continue to be lazy. The ASUS P5K-E is a pretty common motherboard and I know I've seen several lengthy threads just for it.

Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 ^Headrush!, I have an ellipsis to give give to you: ... PCWhiz, thanks! Wait, do I do this iAtkos thing before or after installing Kalyway? Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Headrush69, I knew there was logic behind that Its not that I didn't research, I just couldn't find it. Believe me, I went through 3 pages of Google results. And in most cases I didn't know what to search FOR. Panarchy, You don't use Kalyway (although you could if you wanted to). The guide is for iATKOS, another DVD distro like Kalyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Oh. Okay, thanks! Is there an iATKOS version 10.5.2? Please reply! Thanks in advance, Panarchy PS: I'm guessing 'bay of pirates' is the way to go to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 No, iATKOS is 10.5.1. You have to update to 10.5.2 but its not hard. Yes, you could get it at the Bay of Pirates. Get v1.0iR2 rather than v1.0i if its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get v1.0iR2 rather than v1.0i if its available. Okay thanks. Are there any real important changes in 10.5.2 that will effect me, or should I wait for the next version? Or will I be fine with 10.5.1? I don't really need wireless... Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video drivers for your card are in 10.5.2. (Although you could install "hacked" 10.5.2 ones into 10.5.1, better to get the full update.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Oh. Okay, thanks. Does the 10.5.2 one have all the drivers needed for my hardware, or will I still need to patch some of my hardware? If I still need to patch some of my hardware, which hardware will be of need of patching? Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy PS: Where do I get 10.5.2?

~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Headrush69, OK Thanks Panarchy Yeah, with 10.5.2 you wouldn't need graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks, but will I need any other drivers for my hardware? And how should I go about getting 10.5.2 (PM me if need be) Please reply! Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 No, that should be all the drivers you need. Just follow the guide I posted a link to and update to 10.5.2. There are 2 methods you could update to 10.5.2 using. One is the manual update method which is a bit harder, it uses the original Apple update. Guide here:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87078The second and easier method is to use the Kalyway 10.5.2 packaged updater. Its very easy, this is all you have to do:NOTE to mods: I am going to post torrent links here to the update packages, I don't see it as pirating as it is just distributing a modified version of a FREE software update, but feel free to remove the links if you feel it is necessary.1) Once your 10.5.1 is working nice and dandy, download the Kalyway 10.5.2 update package. Extract the zip, and install the package inside. Reboot, and note that your reboot after the update will take a long time, about 2 minutes at a black screen. This is normal. Now repair permissions with Disk Utility.2) After you have rebooted after installing that update package, download the kalyway kernels package here. Again, unzip and run the installer inside. When it comes to the part where you select a patched or vanilla kernel, assuming you installed the EFI option on the install DVD, choose the vanilla kernel and install. Reboot after installation and repair permissions with Disk Utility.3) After that, you just install the Leopard Graphics Update from Apple which can be downloaded directly from Apple's site here. Mount the DMG and run the installer again, reboot and everything should be working. Repair permissions once again with Disk UtilityNote: You notice that multiple times I say to repair permissions, heres how you do it if you don't know how: Open the Disk Utility program from /Applications/Utilities, select your OS X volume from the right, and click the Repair Permissions button.Hope this covers it P.S. I'm being waaaay too nice by typing up the instructions myself for you rather than telling you to research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Woh... Thanks mate! Great work! Oh, BTW, do I install iATKOS or Kalyway? Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The guide I posted is for iATKOS, it may be best to try it first. Get the iATKOS v1.0ir2 ISO. If it doesn't work then go on to Kalyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Okay, thanks. Panarchy PS: Slow internet speeds, will be getting super fast speed within the next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Okay, it's downloading now (less than 6 hours remaining) Just a quick question ,(about iATKOS 1.0ir2 which is downloading now), can I patch it before I burn it to a DVD? (that is patch it with 10.5.2)? Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 No iATKOS cannot be patched to 10.5.2 before installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
