Leo4allv3 finished and released


apowerr

Version 3 of eddie11c's popular Leo4all release has been uploaded to a private ftp, and should appear 'around' shortly. Leo4all is a 'universal' release and works on AMD and Intel. The official release notes are attached, here are the highlights:

First and most importantly is a totally rebuilt filesystem. 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.

 

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

 

ACPIPlatform:

1.1.0 or 1.2.1. Included in each is ACPIPS2Nub to fix 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 if nothing is selected 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 ny Modbin(Be warned this does not work on all AMD machines! SSE3 CPU is required!). 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. If you select this please do not select an ACPIPlatform, as this requires version 1.1.0.

 

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] ) If your not sure you can click all but 1 Nforce, as they will overwrite each other.

 

Nforce Old - This is the older version of Medevils Nforce(1.0.2) driver. Install this if you have issues with SATA enabled causing a panic. Known to work for some Nforce3 users.

 

Nforce Test- If you have a SATA DVD or do not have issues booting the DVD normally choose the NforceTest.

 

SiliconImage3132 - I have not found anyone that uses this specific chipset to confirm if it works.

 

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, AppleOnboardPCATA and AppleGenericPCATA. Confirmed working for SiS!

 

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(for most HD) or AC97Audio.

Choices 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 edited to include all Device ID's I could verify. This should cover mostly all 6XXX/7XXX/8XXX series cards. (List of ID's found in attached release notes)

 

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 your video card. I have added a modified version of 0.2.1 for 1Gig of VRAM.

 

GMA950 - QE/CI+resolution change with some artifacts

 

GMA950 - No Aritfacts QE/CI but no resolution.

 

GMAX3100 - suppose to give QE/CI(confirmed for device ID 0x2a02)

 

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

niffer022: Edit the files NVDAResman.kext, GeForce.kext and NVDANV50HAL.kext. Remove all device ids currently located in the Info.plist in all of these files and put your own device id in their instead. The problem is that the kexts matches against all nvidia devices and that is a problem since your motheardboard has alot of nvidia devices. This ofcourse never happens on a real mac where only the gfx card is made by nvidia.

That is not the problem. He probably installed the video kexts without selecting NVinject to support them. Without something to enable the hardware the drivers will cause a panic. The only device ID's included in the kexts are those of real video cards. Nvidia may use the same device ID's of chipsets over and over, they do not use the video device ID's over.

Do this. Boot into single user mode with -s from Darwin.

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

./options

 

choose remove video

choose Nvidia

type exit and see what happens.

 

 

mate you are a star... that did the trick booted straight into leopard :):D

 

just need to figure out how to get my eithernet working for some internet action.

 

 

a thousand thank you's from the wife since now i dont have to spend all that money on a real mac lmao

<br />go to osx.kbot.de and Look at the Eddiec11'sv3 post. Some users have posted an alternate way to fix that problem. Maybe that will fix the problem for youSorry I wrote this late last night. If you don't have that kext in the extensions folder then I am assuming that is not what is causing "waiting for root device" You could possibly try that, I am not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot. What are your computer specs?Also you can try my suggestion to selfdestruct.If you are using Windows try using Rarzilla- it's free.If you are using Mac try using unRarX- it's also free.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

 

Okay let me see if i understand this.....I can use a program such as "gumby" or "ppf-omatic" to patch Leo4allv3 .DMG file with the "oldnforce PPF" file that came with leo4allv3...and that would would revert to nforce version 1.2.... ????? Fix permissions on the new .DMG and boot with -f .........????

Plz break down how to correctly patch an ISO because i have no idea and can't seem to find concise instructions.

 

 

You asked about my set up here goes:

Abit AN-M2

AMDX2 6000+

4GB RAM

Chipset: nVidia GeForce 7025/nForce 630a.

Audio ALC888

Netgear GA311

 

All of this currently works in my kalyway 10.5.2 install BTW

I am getting a few problems trying to boot up. Initially I had looking for root device problem then after changing bios SATA control option it got passed that. At one point it seem to have started up except screen was black. Now I am getting this panic error stack trace.. Does anyone know what it might be?

What version of ACPIPlatform did you install? If you did not specify one it is version 1.1.0. You could try a fresh install with 1.0.3, which is the same as whats used on the DVD and see if you get the same error.

Hi :) As with Leo4allv2, still taking about four or five tries to bootup - freezing variously on the first mention of ACPIPS2Nub and of ACPIPlatform - and sometimes when I finally get to the login screen, the keyboard doesn't work. I went with the defaults on install but added a tick to the powermanagement checkbox. Sleep doesn't feature heavily in my life, sorry if I missed something?

Failed on a P5E x38 chipset motherboard, must be the jmicron ata hardware for the dvd.

 

/com.apple.boot.plist not found. error

 

I guess its the vmware boot bypass method. (I'll post results)

hey how are you going to use vmware to bypass this nasty :) error man in getting the same error on a asus p5k board with the jmicron ide controller

For me, the installer is freezing at 2 minutes to go. The screen locks up then I have to force shut-down. Leo4all V2 didn't do this (but I couldn't get video/ethernet working and it kept freezing).

 

Does anyone else have this problem?

 

My specs are:

 

MB: ASUS M2N-SLI (NForce 5 chip and onboard LAN)

CPU: AMD 6000+ X2

RAM: 4GB DDR2 RAM

PCI-E: ATI 2400 HD Pro (Have a driver but no QE)

SATA Drives but installing on IDE

SATA and IDE ASUS DVD-RW

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Pull 2gigs of your memory just for install then put it back after, I went through the same thing but in a different thread (read/search)

Geforced,

 

What other option did you add to the startup boot command?

 

Was it just "-v"?

Hi, after installing on Intel I am getting the "failed to launch DirectoryService com.apple.DirectoryService launched version 5.2 (v514.4)" errors and the system never startup. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

This release auto adds -v and boot time of 10 seconds to the boot.apple.plist.

 

Hey macshiba where can I find the .plist file and if I mod it will it screw things up how is the safest way to mod this file can I just change the 10 sec with like 1 sec and then remove the -v line. Thanks for all your help. Viva Osx86 orale orale LOL :)

Ok.....

 

I managed to get the ISO patched with the PPF-OMATIC...(buggy ass software*%$#@! )

Got farther on my attempt to install...

- Medevil's nforce loaded up...

- graphics didn't panic

- Recognized my drives

 

and then..............

 

 

nothing....

 

got a message saying something like:

 

disks01 did not mount

disk202 did not mount

disk4s0 did not mount

disk4s1 did not mount

 

or something to that effect

 

then the typical csvalue*****something,something line

and just stayed there.... left it for about 20 minutes

 

WTF is goin on....

somebody help me out here

 

once again here is my set up...

AMD 6000+

Abit AN-M2

There are a few things to note, Nforce chipsets can not user over 2GB or RAM ever. You will have constant random crashes, there is currently no fix for this. Try removing the video drivers, just read around on how to do so, I am tired of explaining it.
