JaS OSx86 10.5.4 Client Server Intel SSE2 SSE3 released

The best method currently seems to be GFX strings. I have full support and only one small issue where it seems to be locked to only 1280x1024x32 at the moment. I hope to figure it out shortly. Luck and if you find any useful information please share so we can all benefit!

As soon, as I get startet with the installation, I'll let you know when I get the card running and how. But I really need confirmation on which packages to install, because I would like to minimize the reinstalling proceedure (last time - if i recount correctly - I installed iATKOS about 8 times before I finally was satisfied)

I really would love to have a description of the packages from the different distributions.

I'm waiting for JaS to upload his ppf fix package so I can update the ISO I already downloaded and think about testing it. I say think as I already got Kalyway 10.5.2 installed and updated to 10.5.4 no problem (except screensaver doesn't come on according to schedule but no big deal.)

One other ting is I agree that people should pay close attention when selecting install options, to match everything with their hardware properly. I reckon a major problem is kernel selection, it is better NOT to go for vanilla anything unless you are ABSOLUTELY SHURE ASH SHURE CAN BE that it's a goer on your h/w. Me, I got a flimsy old Gigabyte board with VIA chipset and old-skool AGP but thanx to Kalyway it all runs sweet, EFI and all and of course a hacked kernel for me Pentium 4 CPU.

Maybe you all already know that to boot with a different kernel you can name it on the Darwin command line at boot time (where you get like 5 secs to select partition, switches, '-v' etc.) Find out what the names of the kernel's you got at / root on your Mac drive are called and stipulate them there, eg. mach9.4.0modbin or whatever. Vanilla kernel's are about 10mb whilst hacked kernels are about 1/2 that (5 mb). You can find out by starting Terminal in a working installation and 'cd /' then 'ls -l' or use MacDrive for Flindows if you insist on still using inferior Microboff products...

OK that's all, except a big THX to JaS for all his excellent work over time. My first Mac OS X install was JaS 10.4.8 which was a real buzz; Leopard is far superior product so here's hoping so will be JaS's first 10.5 release...

perfect install on my SSE2 laptop

DEll inspiron 9300

Pentium M. 2ghz

nvidia 6800go

10.5.4 + security update.

QE/CI Fully supported.

I tried it with my laptop this morning and using a external monitor,it shows that its out of range frequenzy?? My monitor support up to 1280x1024 but still it doesn't show the right resolution. My specs are on my signature.. jas I hope you will release the ppf sooner.. thanks..

I installed it on my system.The installation went smoothly. But my PS2 keyboard and mouse not working. After booting its telling me that no keyboard is connected.

Biostar GC945M7 TE

Intel Pentium D 2.66

2GB DDR2 667

Gave this a shot last night. Thought I would upgrade from Kalyway 5.2.

It worked VERY good straight off. Most things seem to be working great, including sound and CI/QE. The only problem I have come across yet is Ethernet not working. I have a Marvel Yukon chip on motherboard. Checked the right options, all combinations I believe. No luck so far.

The other little annoyance was lack of ps2 support which I think is included in the upcoming patch.

Edit: Motherboard Abit IP35

Solution: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry245032

In my case I just copied over IOnetwor... from Kalyway 10.5.2 disc backup I had with KextHelper. Working great now :-)

Just rename your OSX partition to a single word, ie. rename "OS X Partition" to "OSXPartition" and it should get by the NVKush error.

If any support for nvidia 7800GTX in JaS?

I choose NVKush and see that:

Appreciate any help.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and to ask if anybody knows of a link or forum that may give more information about each install option, I mean it would be great to click on an item and get a whole story for dummies, im sure I am not the only one who gets to the install screen with about 100 options and thinks hmm now what, I spent about 5 hours on Google to get all of this working and now it works so well, that my wife wants me to update her machine, so now what, another 5 hours on Google cause all the information is so technical and alot of it is guess work by others, I think it would be great if JaS himself added the information into the installer as he must know what it is cause he knows everything. I have found information a little skechy on most of the distro's I have tried except for iAtkos however that particular distro did not work for me anyway.

This is just a suggestion or maybe there is someone else who can give all this info

Thanks

Thanx jaS I personally think it one of your best work congrats

everything worked in my gateway ml6720 and my desktop.

Love this release!!! Works perfectly here:

Dell Inspiron 530 (i530-111b)....

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.5GHz (All cores working)

ICH9 Sata all channels work

Radeon HD 2600 XT

even card reader works!

I had to buy a NC100 ethernet card from Walmart for $15 and use 'tulip.kext' for network....

Haven't tried to get internal sound working... Alesis MultiMix8 Firewire works great

Just used StageXNU kernel, all ICHx options, radeon driver, SMBIOSResolver

Thanks for all you hard work, Peace

Jas, or any one who has had no problems, can you please advise...

my specs, ASUS M70Vm -

Centrino 2 - C2D 2.5 t9400

Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M - What Chipset Driver do I use?

Integrated Intel® High Definition Audio chip ( Azalia) - I should use AZALIA drivers for this, got that much...

compliant MDC fax/modem

and 10/100/1000 Base T - Realtek 8169 - thats no problem too

Integrated 802.11 a/g/n 5100n - I am sure drives are not exsistant

Built-in Bluetooth™ V2.1+EDR (optional) - should be no issue here too

Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5100 - I am sure drives are not exsistant

320 Serial ATA HD 5400 RPM

Multi-Burner SATA

i set the ATA to compliant in bios, and there is not much other changes i can make in bios,

However I tried 5 times, all installs fine, but when first boot cant get past apple grey screen! then if i verbose boot, safe boot cpu1 boot, etc, I get kernal panics and something about Hi Memory tramps, and skips duplicate driver...

So can someone here please advise, thank you...

Guys,just wanna confirm. This release doesn't have any intel graphic and i have a gma 900, i tried to install this one but all i can see is black on my screen and when i connect it to a external monitor it says that its out of frequency?? Is the problem connected to the disk that it doesn't have an intel graphics driver or there is something i should try?? By the way we can browse the cd of jas and install directly from it.. Actually it boots i can see the installation process but its like the graphic is distorted and its too big to fit my laptop screen and the external screen i can't click the button that i have to click.. My external screen support up to 1280x1024. Anyone have a solution or should i wait for the ppf of jas??

well, topic cleaned to the best of my ability, priority given to posts that contribute information, and making the topic clean & legible. One-line "thanks" posts were also removed, JaS will have read those by now, and your appreciation is noted. Hopefully this will now avoid repeating the same stuff over and over.

If your post is gone & you felt it was important, I'm sorry.

Installing Mac Server went fine, after reboot insert serial# and then I see message: "Serial number expired.......need valid serial or fix server's time". Where and how for fix serve's time?

Any help will be appreciated.

Your ability is sub-par and your cleaning was NOT appreciated. Who are you to determine what is valuable information? Maybe some warning before you dump half the thread so we can take some notes and document some conversations.

joeventura:

I'm presently running Kalyway 10.5.1 (with update to 10.5.2 and the ToH 9.2.0 kernel) on a Thinkpad X41 tablet. My install was dying at the same place as yours until I tried the -cpus=1 flag and that worked for me.

I'm still downloading JaS 10.5.4. I'll report any boot problems here.

I am D/Ling a fresh 10.5.1 so I will try it as soon as complete, I look forward to hearing your findings!

Thanks!

Hi. I am surprised. I wrote yesterday a post for joeventura and azure and was censured or there are problems in the site (quote option is not active).

Boys, my acer travelmate has the same specifications liks yours.

I try to install kalyway 10 5.1 with -v -cpus=1 and the computer freezes at the same point.

Regards

Sorry but in my modest opinion, the moderator could be info or advice before deleting post. Or move this comments to leopard installation...

Thanks!

Tried a fresh copy of 10.5.1 and had the exact same problem, freezes at the language selection screen.

1. WRONG!. Perhaps if you had read Hagars post, he clearly said that "priority given to posts that contribute information" regarding installation.

2. Since this thread revolves around the Jas 10.5.4 installation, I find it only appropriate that this is an ideal place to discuss problems related to this installation! Jas doesn't object to it, neither does the mods. And his information is not "irrelevant"! There are lots of people who are coming to this thread, finding others with the same problems and are able to get solutions! Just because your not using this distro, or not having any problems with it doesn't give you the right to come in here and tell people off!

3. Bug off!

@joeventura

mate maybe your laptop already have a problem i mean hardware problem that's why it didn't work. And some leopard required atleast 1.6Ghz to function well..

Some perhaps. my hp2710p is a dual core 1.2 ghz and it is very spiffy on that.
