Problems with AMD

[Paramount]

I have "successfully" installed the Leopard 10.5.2 in my AMD Sempron (with SSE3).

 

Previews I had Tiger 10.4.8 (JaS AMD SSE2-SSE3). With sound, keyboard, boot, working good (video NOT, because this machine have a onboard video from VIA... so... no CE/QE).

 

But now, with Leopard, I can`t boot... and my sound isn't working.

 

I have tried everything to boot from my HD.

I get a "b0 error", or a "HFS+ Partition Error".

 

I tried the fdisk method (set the first partition active - I have only 1 partition, Leopard, no dual-boot).

And I have tried to restore the EFI v8 too...

 

But, I still can't boot from my HD. I need to put the install DVD into the drive and boot from there...

It's quite annoying, because I need to F8, and put hd(0,0)/mach_kernel -x "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32"

So... I can't reboot all the time.

 

And for Sound, in Tiger, I needed to use Azalia to get my sound working, I have tried it in Leopard too, but without success.

 

If someone got it working, please let me know how.

 

My machine:

AMD Sempron 3000+ (SSE3)

MB: K8V-VM

Audio: Realtek ALC660 6-Channel Codec

Have you installed the darwin boot loader?

 

For your sound problem look into this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32859

I have tried the AppleHDA Patcher... but I don't have the driver for the audio in linux... and neither know how to get one.

 

I saw a thread with one kext for ALC660... but after install.. it didn't work.

About the bootloader... how do I install it?

 

What I have tried:

 

* Boot in single user mode ( in install DVD boot - F8 - hd(0,0)/mach_kernel -s )

Then:

# cd /pc_efi_v72

# ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk0s1 ./boot_v8

# dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s1 bs=512 count=1

# dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1

 

After this... I only get: HFS+ Partition Error.

 

I'm using GUID partitions.

Well... some update.

 

The problem with boot, I resolved with reinstaling the Leopard with a MBR partition scheme.

 

But... still no sound.

 

Some debug info:

 

bash-3.2# kextload -t AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/

kernel extension AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/ has problems:

Authentication failures:

{

"File owner/permissions are incorrect (must be root:wheel, nonwritable by group/other)" = (

"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist"

"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents"

"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAzaliaAudio"

"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/MacOS"

)

}

Missing dependencies:

{

"com.apple.iokit.IOHDAudioFamily" =

"No valid version of this dependency can be found"

}

 

I'll repair the permissions and see what happens.

You can make your own dump with a Koppix CD. Check this thread to see how you can do this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=92014

 

After making this dump you can drag it into the AppleHDA Patcher and see if it works.
