anarchy_1024 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 yea so which ones are the best to use and the most likely to succede installing and so forth. the ones i kno of is TOH iATKOS and Kalaway. plesase tell me if theres more and which of them are the best to use. it would be helpful if u tel me differences like drivers and compatibility. thanks in advacne :] For my system (see signature), the one that worked the best was Leo4All 10.5.2. It was a little while since I tried the other releases, but if I remember correctly: - Leo4All [10.5.2 Universal AMD/Intel SSE2/SSE3] booted and installed perfectly. Drivers for my specific hardware I found in another thread - ToH [9a581 RC2] would not boot to the installation correctly... hung in the process - Kalyway [10.5.1 Intel SSE2/SSE3 PC_EFIv8] gave me a kernel panic booting from the installation - BrazilMac [10.5 9a581] booted and installed perfectly. - iATKOS [10.5.1 v1.0ir2] ... umm... I forget BTW, the 'best' release to use is the one that works for you. Yeah, that is an obvious thing to say, but what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. What are your hardware specs? AMD/Intel? Some releases are specifically for Intel, some specifically for AMD, and others are universal, as long as the CPU meets certain requirements. EDIT: I heard of another release from 'Zephyroth', but I have never used it [10.5.2-AMD].

Patje Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I tried to install several times with the Kalway. The installation worked fine, and with the help of Devin I got most of the hardware working. But I had to boot each time from the DVD. When the system started from HD, I got a "b0 error" and the system halted. Used hardware: motherboard Abit IX38 QuadGT; CPU Intel Quad 2.4 MHz; video nVidia 8600 GT 512 MB; seperate HD for OS X. BTW I'm pretty new to Mac myself, so it would be possible that it is just a small bug that can be passed. But I can't find out how to....

In start of install, when u partition your drive with disk utility - u have to choose GUID or MBR for disk type - Choose GUID and later when proceeding with install - it asks u want u install Vanilla kernel etc - choice to pick GUID_EFI - if u chose MBR install and GUID EFI - u will get b0 efrror and vice versa. I had XP installed on HDD earlier and this GUID way granted me dual-booting without questions. I had it as well at very start, was pondering about it - wth, i did yea all right and now error, did re-read forum several times to get the point Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95185-best-leopard-hacked-disk-to-use/#findComment-678757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzNPhD Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 leo4ALL IS the way to go, its nearly universal for all comps. i installed with no problems and every thing worked except graphics card driver.

Patje Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 OK. A lot to go for. I've made an other HD redy for a new installation. So I can try-out all possible solutions. First time I will give it a try to install 2 OS X versions (Kalway and Leo4all) on different partitions. Maybe I'll learn a lesson from these.... Thanks for these reply's. The results can be followed over here. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95185-best-leopard-hacked-disk-to-use/#findComment-687871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoNuT333 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yeah currently Leo4All is the most successful version out. You may also want to consider trying JaS's new release when he finishes it. I'm not saying one is better than the other but you may have more luck with one over the other. Just depends on you hardware. So far I have had no luck with any Leo disk.

~pcwiz Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 iATKOS wouldn't boot no matter what I did on my system. Kalyway worked beautifully for me. I hear Leo4All is good too though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95185-best-leopard-hacked-disk-to-use/#findComment-689402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivisionByZero Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 so far, I've only had success with ToH, but I'm installing Kalyway right now on my core2duo...the installation seems to be ok... And I'm going to try Leo4all later Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95185-best-leopard-hacked-disk-to-use/#findComment-689427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

InorganicMatter Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 They are all terrible, but iATKOS is the least awful. I prefer to install it myself with a retail Leopard DVD, to a second hard disk from a working Leopard system.

Devs put a lot of time into them and you call them 'terrible'? People had more problems with iATKOS then other DVDs, including me.

alimac Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've got a HP nx9420 laptop and so far the best distro for me was the Leo4all. I used basic install method, didn't bother with any drivers etc. got them elsewhere on this board. It worked from first boot which is more than I managed with any of the others so far.

teknojunkie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 kalyway is the best except for the additional add ons he puts, they both are good.

guitaristz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 what is the size of the leo4all img? Well the one I am about to burn is 3.54 gb. Iatkos worked the best on this core duo Dell notebook because Aiport works unlike Kalyway where no amount of kexting helped at all. Only issue is firewire devices started to crash the OS after a month. I loved Uphuck's Tiger dvd but the Spotlight overhead ruined the audio listening experience. If that could be fixed...
