Leo4Allv3

[bolero]

I finally managed to install it without a problem! However when i boot i get a

IOAtacontroller device blocking bus error

 

and stops booting. Could this be a problem with the kernel i chose to install? I have an nforce chipset and chose the old nforce chipset driver during the install as well. I also have an IDE drive, however unplugging the IDE harddrive does not solve the issue.

 

Iv selected the following customization options

(left the default selected kernel)

Chipset-> older nForce

network-> forcedeth-V

video-> Nvidia kexts

Audio -> ACL833

Ok. This time you're right. But I fear it's difficult to find out. At the moment you're the only one with this problem? Do you have the same result with e.g. Kalyway's?

Bolero is having troubles with this error, too. He tried Kalyway, but Kalyway didn't see his HDD's.

i´m planning to buy a 24" lcd display (graphic card atm sapphire hd3870).

can anybody tell me whether it´s possible to run 1900x1200 resolution with leo4allv3?

thanks!

[Aancher]

I have updated to latest asus beta bios,it boot up very fast now.Before that,it will took 62 seconds to pass through grey apple screen page (dos texts).After updated the bios ,it took about 5 seconds only ! BIOS does help.

 

I am very happy now.

[nintenno]

worked fine on my p35 d3sl

leo4all=pretty much the best thing since sliced bread

lol

[hey_moe]

Well I finally got everything going including the sound in 5.1....it took me a week to get everything at 95% The only thing I wish I knew how to figure out is I have Raid0 also on my MB and each time I boot I have to hit the F8 key and select which HD to boot from. I also have been unable to wake it up from the sleep mode. Goes into sleep fine and trys to wake uo but I end up having to do a hard boot

[Khael]

hi =)

i've a problem with this version, i tried to install it on my computer but i cant install it in fact when remain 2 minutes to end the system crash.

I tryed to install with vanilla kernel 9.2.0, ichx, alc 883, no graphic driver. and second time with default option.

For install it i used an external hd on usb2. (with amd system it work!)

My configuration is:

intel q6600

p5k pro (p35)

4gb crucial led 1066mhz

3870 512mb!

thanks for help!

[hey_moe]

I noticed you have 4 gig of memory listed. At the start of the thread it suggested to only have 2 gig and no more on the install. Have ya tried it that way yet?

[dirtysanchez]

I tried Leo4all v3 on a ASUS P5K3 mainboard with Quad Q6600 and 2 gb DDR3. Installation goes perfect but Leo don't run. It stops during the peripheral scan after the firewire line and write "still waiting for root device". Any solutions? Thank you

P.S.: Until now I tried many Leo releases but no luck... but now i'll try the Kalyway

[hey_moe]

I also had that problem with it saying " still waiting for root device" you have something set up in the bios wrong. What are your settings?Has anyone had any luck using an Asus board and getting it to shut down in sleep mode and wake up right. I have tried just about every DL and BIOS adjustments with no glory, any suggestions, Mike

I managed to figure it out. I installed onto an IDE instead of SATA, that fixed my problem, i can now boot into OSX sucessfully.

[rramon]

just have a question about the apple graphics update:

 

is it included in the v3 release already?

[testpilot]

Thank you, truly, for your good work. I am a complete noobie, but have had very little in the way of problems installing an OS I know nothing about, (as if I knew OS's)...

 

However, it has been easy to work out most problems, except 1 ---- STAC9227... no sound out of the speakers, although OSX recognized the drivers, and controls appear to work, and the visualizer responds well to sound that can be heard..???

 

I have installed the latest Intel drivers, and googled tp land's end...nothing has come up, yet.

 

I have a simple machine,

 

Core 2 Duo E6700 on a D946GZIS board, built in audio, HD, using STAC9227

Video is an ASUS NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS a 256 mb

Ram is 2 Gb DDR2 @ 667Mhz

2 ea. 250Gb Drives

XP Pro/SP2 OS

 

And I boot from a 40Gb WD USB HDD

 

Nothing fancy...I will probably and eventually, when the economy gets better... look to get an iMac. Because of good people like you, and the folks working out the OS X thing, I think I am in love with Mac, and I want one....bad....I am just broke...

 

However, even if I did have a Mac, I want to see on my PC (M$ux...eat fish!!!) and will hopefully see it complete.....all I need is sound....can you help?

 

Thanks, for your good work and for your time.

[karishbhr]

I have two questions:

 

How do I lower the prompt at the beginning of startup from 10 seconds to 5?

 

Is there any way to get the grey startup screen like on a normal mac?

[the_29]

This is all done in the com.apple.Boot... file!

Normaly (i think so) is it in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration!

 

There you have the file com.apple.Boot.plist or sth! You have to remove the -v from the String in kernel-flags and there should also be the boot duration (normal 10)

[adeadman]

Finally, a release that works for me!, only needed to edit the various nvidia kexts for my 7600 GT 256Mb (why does everybody forget about this card? dev ID 0x02e0 they only ever put in the GS! dev ID 0x02e1) everything else works out of the box, no new patches, no hard yakka, beeewdiful, love it

 

of course, still no vanilla kernel, but GUID formatted disk and appear to be running EFI

Thanks I will add this (0x02e010de) to my list for future updates.

[Jeezoflip]

mine still doesnt boot . However, i have ToH's 10.5 install working fine...so leopard can run on my computer.

[eddie11c]

As I have said numerous times, Your reboots are from lack of compatibility with EFI. I have an update already in the works to address this issue, but you must be patient. I am trying out the new EFI to see if I can integrate it also. Still have lots of testing to do.

[kpkp]

Just installed!

Great work, thank u. Everything works like expected, used kernel 9.2.2 Vanilla.

 

My configuration:

Motherboard: Asus P5K-E Wi-Fi-AP

CPU: Intel E2160

RAM: 2x 1GB Super Talent 800Mhz CAS 4-4-3-8

GPU: ATI Radeon HD3870

HDD: 1x SATA Samsung t166 500gb, 1x IDE Maxtor 80gb (Leo drive)

DVD: DVD +/- RW SAMSUNG, SATA - S203D (Could not install with a IDE drive)

 

Audio: works (only stereo tested)

WI-FI: works (after installing the realtek tool found on Wiki)

JMicron® JMB363 PATA and SATA controller seems to work, since the installation is made on a IDE HDD

LAN: detected, but i did not test it

Sleep, Restart, Shutdown: works (more testing needed)

 

I must say that that this is my first try i never worked with a Mac, great work again was to easy

[spacelee]

Well after alot of work it is almost ready. I figured I would post a new topic since the other is so long. Here are the notes that should cover most of the basics. At this point only things that are going to change at all are if issues arise from my testers(so far so good!)

 

So here we are with Leo4Allv3. You might wonder what's new and why bother downloading. I will try to list the main changes with this update and a comprehensive list of what options are available. I have someone working on an install guide also, so hopefully it will be ready for release.

 

Please visist http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com for assistance or, if you like my work, to donate. You can also visit the IRC channel at irc.osx86.hu #Leo4All

 

First and most importantly is a totally rebuilt filesystem, to include all updates. The advantage with this is I no longer had to script a repair permissions from the DVD. This speeds install a good bit for most people. Don't worry if the timer says some outrageous time, as it does not calculate it correctly. The initial package install is very large and takes the most time, but once its done the install is almost done. I still recommend running repair permissions from Leopard once your all loaded up to fix some errors, but none of these will stop the system from booting. If you run it twice you should see zero errors on Intel and 2 SUID files on AMD. There is an install script that crashes on AMD machines causing this, but to keep everything perfect on intel I chose to leave the script intact.

This DVD now supports AHCI with more than 2 drives thanks to the updated kext's posted by Cyclonefr.

Also fixed this go around is X11 for both Intel and AMD. If, when you close it the first time, cpu usage jumps to 100% open terminal and type xeyes & to fix it. You will need to reboot after, but it should never glitch again.

PPC Emulation on AMD's should now be fixed also!

Due to some complaints I removed my old logo and replaced it with my favorite desktop background, hope you like it.

 

There is no longer a ./RemoveVideo script, it has been updated and is now called

./options.

If you boot with -s at the Darwin prompt and mount your drive with

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

./options

you will see options to remove video drivers, account loop fix, and extensions repair. These are the most common issues so I have just automated them.

 

Currently there are no known issues to address, so hopefully it should be ready real soon.

 

From inside the installer you will notice alot of new options, I will cover the main ones of interest:

 

ACPIPlatform:

 

You now have a choice between ACPIPlatforms, version 1.1.0 is the default install but if you have an older system you can choose 1.0.3 from Tiger. Alternately you can choose the stock version 1.2.1. Included inside version 1.1.0 and 1.2.1 is ACPIPS2Nub(proper version) for your PS2 support. There should be no more PS2 issues! !

AppleSMBIOS:

 

I put in lots of choices for different versions based on bus speed if you want it to show your proper memory speed, or if you want your hack to look like a real mac. The default install is Netkas improved version 27.

Options are:

DDR667

DDR800

DDR1066

DDR1333

iMac

MacBook

MacPro

 

Kernel:

 

I have added Netkas 9.2.0 sleep kernel, and 9.2.2 binpatched kernel(Be warned this does not work on all AMD machines! My SSE3 AMD does not work with it). The default install is still Netkas 9.2.0 speedstep kernel. There are also the Stock kernels(vanilla) 9.2.0/9.2.2

 

RemoveFireWire:

 

For those that have issues with FireWire, or those that just want to speed their boot time a little. This moves all of the IOFireWire kext's to /FireWire folder in the root of your install drive.

 

About This Mac:

This is my own little installer to customize "About this Mac" with your processor info. No it does not fix memory speed, you have to do that with AppleSMBIOS. It should work for all languages and should report overclocked CPU's properly.

 

Power Management:

 

By popular demand I added the laptop power management bundle to the install. You will still need to set it up in system preferences. This is known to have a few minor bugs. It may not report the proper time remaining or any time remaining for that matter, so use at your own risk.

 

AMD System Fix:

 

You will notice it is checked and greyed out by default. To take out alot of user error (people forgetting to check it for their AMD systems) I have added a script to detect the CPU and patch accordingly. When its running it will echo your processor information in the install log (if you show all). It will then skip the patch process if your on Intel or patch if its an AMD. I hope it works well for everyone!

 

Bootloader:

 

This option is checked and greyed out by default. It is Dense's script to install EFI and make the partition active. If you already have an existing bootloader (like from Vista) on the same logical drive it will not overwrite it. It will however flag the partition you installed to active, so you will have to manually set your Windows partition active again if needed.

 

Chipset Drivers:

 

(NOTE- JMicron is the only driver that always installs so please choose at least 1 option, some will have to choose 2 [if you have Marvell IDE and Intel SATA for example] ) There are only 6 choices here.

 

Nforce chipsets- If you have a SATA DVD choose the NforceTest. If you have Nforce without I recommend choosing the older version labeled Nforce 2/3/4/5. If you have more than 4Gigs of RAM be prepared to crash during install. Please remove 2Gigs of RAM and try again.

 

SiliconImage - I have not found anyone to confirm if this works or not, it should if anyone out there actually uses it.

 

VIA, SiS, Marvell and SB - Please install this if you are using any of these chipsets. If you have a Marvell IDE drive please install this as they should be supported. I have added many ID's here so I hope they all work! This chioce installs AppleVIAATA and AppleOnboardPCATA.

 

SAS - By request I added support for this, as of my writing this its untested. Hopefully it works.

 

Intel ICHx- If you have ICH7/8/9 chipsets you should install this. This is the modified version by -Dune- to support more than 2 drives and fix the over 2Gigs of RAM panics.

 

Audio:

 

These choices have not changed much, only added support for STAC9271 by request. If your not sure what chipset you have, please choose AzaliaAudio or AC97Audio.

Chioces are:

ALC850/882/883/888/889

AC97Audio

ADI1988

STAC9271

AzaliaAudio

 

Graphics Drivers:

 

I have updated many of these packages.

ATI- there are options for:

3850

3870

2600XT(PCIE)

2600XT(AGP)

3870X2

2600PRO(PCIE)

2600PRO(AGP)

X1600(PCIE)

X1600(AGP)

X19X0

X1400 Mobility

 

Nvidia- I have updated the drivers to the latest available from the Mac Pro's and editied to include all Device ID's I could verify. This should cover mostly all 6XXX/7XXX/8XXX series cards.

NVinject- By request I have added options for different version of Nvinject(0.1.3/0.2.0/0.2.1). If your not sure choose version 0.2.1 with the proper amount of RAM for your video card.

GMA950 - QE/CI+resolution change with some artifacts

GMA3100 - suppose to give QE/CI(Unconfirmed)

 

Network Drivers:

 

ForceDeth- This is compatible with most Nforce LAN.

ForceDeth-V - This is compatible with most Nforce LAN(recommended version)

Skge - Driver for most Marvell LAN cards.

RTL8187- Just as it says for Realtek 8187

Zydas USB- For the USB Wireless LAN adapter

Tiger IO80211- Some Atheros cards require this Tiger version to work. Default install is IO80211 from 10.5.2

Broadcom- WLAN driver for BCM4306/4309/4318/4320/4324

RT2500- Suppose to support Dlink WMP54G v4.0, may support some others.

ViaRhine- Just as it says, for ViaRhine chipsets

Intel 100Pro VE- Just as it says, for the Intel 100Pro VE chipset

RT2860- Driver for some chipsets like WL-181, may also work on some others.

 

Good Applications:

 

You can choose to install or not, but I do recommend many of these useful programs. They include:

Adium

AppZapper

BBEdit

CandyBar

Colloquy

FireFox

Gumby 50c

Invisibles

KCNScrew

KextHelper

Marvin's AMD Utility

MD5

Pacifist

PackageMaker version 2.1(old harder to find)

Stuffit Expander

Textmate

Transmission

TubeSock

Unison

VLC

Xbench

Feel free to leave comments here or on the Wiki

 

Edit- forgot to add PPC emulation was fixed for AMD's

 

so there still no X800GTO supported

[neovo]

Is it normal that after i have installed leo4all v3, there are aliases on root directory. Is it safe to delete them? I'm afraid that it will break the system.

 

Help please.

[hey_moe]

Hi Eddie, I finally got the sound to go on my MB, but haven't had any luck to the sleep,shut down area. I have the Asus P5W64 WS Professional board. I have downloaded just about all the files I can find in this forum with no glory,I've been using the kext helper program to install the files. Do you have any advice I may have missed, tanks,Mike

[Detosx]

Forgive this double post but I'm trying spread the net far and wide:-

 

Hi there, I am still unable to find a solution to the ACPIPS2Nub problem I have had - boot up freezes or on some bootups the keyboard doesn't work. The two points where bootup freezes refer to ACPIPS2Nub and to ACPIPlatform. My options in terms of trying other ACPIPlatform(s) are limited because I need speedstep, which requiresas this requires version 1.1.0.

 

Has anyone found a workaround to problems they were having with ACPIPS2Nub/ACPIPlatform or know of any useful links that I might have missed? Many thanks.
