chat99 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, The following is a quick outline of my install routine, it's not unlike other routines posted. Installing OS X 10.5.0 and 10.5.1 Retail and upgrading to OS X 10.5.2. The key files needed: 1) Retail version of OS X 10.5.0 or 10.5.1. (the 10.5.0 belonged to a friend, and I purchased the 10.5.1 for my HACINTOSH) 2) OSX 10.5.2 update combo package ("MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.dmg"). source: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...omboupdate.html 3) Leopard Graphics Update v1.0 from Apples web site ("LeopardGraphicsUpdate1.0.dmg"). source: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/leo...csupdate10.html 4) http://rapidshare.com/files/75234066/EFI_Pack.zip.html 5) You may need driver for your video card; for example, I downloaded NVinject.kext v2.1 for my 8800 GT 512MB. Step 1 - Partition the selected disk using GUID mapping (using the diskutil gui interface) Step 2 - Open a terminal and change to superuser (sudo -s) Step 3 - Identify the selected partition device id (/dev/disk#s#) (diskutil list) my input/output: bash-3.2# diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk0 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS xxx 40.0 Gi disk0s2 3: Apple_HFS MyBackup 192.4 Gi disk0s3 Step 4 - From the Terminal - Activate the Partition with fdisk: my input/output: step 4a - fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory Enter 'help' for information step 4b - "update" Machine code updated. step 4c - "f 2" to activate my partition xxx (disk0s2) Partition 2 marked active. step 4d - "w" to write the changes Device could not be accessed exclusively. A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n] y Writing MBR at offset 0. step 4e - "q" to quit bash-3.2# Step 5 - From the Terminal - Make the partition "xxx" bootable using the EFI_pack.zip my input/output: step 5a - diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk0 step 5b - ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk0s2 ./boot_v8 HFS+ filesystem detected Looking for 1 words free reading 4096,4096 Marking word 276 writing back 4096,4096 allocated blocks 32 at start 8832 step 5c - dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 bs=512 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 0.012391 secs (41320 bytes/sec) step 5d - dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 400 bytes transferred in 0.024489 secs (16334 bytes/sec) The last dd step (5d) command should mount the entire disk0 Step 6 - Installing OS X 10.5.0 or 10.5.1: Mount your OS X retail image. In the terminal change to the OS X retail image's mounted file system cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Installation/Packages From the terminal enter "open OSInstall.mpkg" - be sure to select your xxx partition Wait for OSX to finish it's install... Step 7 - Download the 10.5.2 Update and the Leopard Graphics Update: Download the OSX 10.5.2 update combo package from Apples web site ("MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.dmg"). Download the Leopard Graphics Update v1.0 from Apples web site ("LeopardGraphicesUpdate1.0.dmg"). Step 8 - Install the 10.5.2 update: Mount the OSX 10.5.2 update combo package. From the desktop open the "Mac OS X Update Combined" Icon, and double click on the "MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.pkg" icon. Be sure to select your xxx partition. Wait for the OS X 10.5.2 update to finish... Step 9 - Install the Leopard Graphics Update v1.0: Mount the Leopard Graphics Update v1.0. From the desktop open the "Leopard Graphics Update" icon, and double click on the "LeopardGraphicsUpdate1.0.pkg" icon. Be sure to select your xxx partition. Wait for the Graphics update to finish... Step 10 - Change the the volumes status: /usr/sbin/vsdbutil -a /Volumes/xxx Step 11 - Moving and Coping the following to files: i. Move the following kext: bash-3.2# mv -f AppleEFIRuntime.kext /Volumes/xxx/tmp ii. Copied the following five files into place: Change to the directory /Volumes/xxx/System/Library/Extensions bash-3.2# cp -Rf /Volumes/MyData/Building\ My\ OSX/dsmos.kext. bash-3.2# cp -Rf /Volumes/MyData/Building\ My\ OSX/AppleSMBIOS.kext. bash-3.2# cp -Rf /Volumes/MyData/Building\ My\ OSX/AppleVIAATA.kext. bash-3.2# cp -Rf /Volumes/MyData/Building\ My\ OSX/NVinject.kext. bash-3.2# cp -Rf /Volumes/MyData/Building\ My\ OSX/IONetworkingFamily.kext. iii. Change their ownership: bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel dsmos.kext bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel AppleSMBIOS.kext bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel AppleVIAATA.kext bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel NVinject.kext bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel IONetworkingFamily.kext iv. Change their file modes: bash-3.2# chmod -R 755 dsmos.kext bash-3.2# chmod -R 755 AppleSMBIOS.kext bash-3.2# chmod -R 755 AppleVIAATA.kext bash-3.2# chmod -R 755 NVinject.kext bash-3.2# chmod -R 755 IONetworkingFamily.kext Step 12 - (Repeat step 5 here) From the Terminal - Make the partition "xxx" bootable using the EFI_pack.zip my input/output: step 12a - diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk0 step 12b - ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk0s2 ./boot_v8 HFS+ filesystem detected Looking for 1 words free reading 4096,4096 Marking word 276 writing back 4096,4096 allocated blocks 32 at start 8832 step 12c - dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 bs=512 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 0.012391 secs (41320 bytes/sec) step 12d - dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 400 bytes transferred in 0.024489 secs (16334 bytes/sec) The last dd step (12d) command should mount the entire disk0 Step 13 - Boot the new install. Side Notes: 1) In my environment I created two bootable partition on my main 250GB drive: - The first partition has my main working OS X 10.5.2 install <- boots by default - The second partition is a smaller 30Gb OS X 10.5.2 installed I'm using this partition for testing new drivers and configs and storing copies of my key setup files (drivers, images, config files, etc) 2) I set a 3 second delay(timeout) in the com.apple.Boot.plist; thus, allowing me some time to press F8 and select my alternate number two partition. 3) I have a third bootable partition(30Gb) on my USB drive, identical to the second partition.
