Well, im trying to install Leo on my BenQ P52 Laptop but the installer can`t see my HDD..there`s only CD Drive in the DiskUtilities. I cant affo external drive right now so....if there`s anything i can do ? Or will the next relase help in that point ?
The Chipset : ATI Xpress 1150 (ATI RX485) HDD : Hitachi 100Gb 5400rpm SATA If there`s more details needed, let me know. Thank in advance. |
You've probably got an SB600 Southbridge. You'll need "SB600_SATA_ATA.zip"... Without an external drive you probably only have 2 options: Inject SB600_SATA_ATA into the .iso and build a new install DVD or wait for Zephy's version 2...
|
Oh..ok i`ll try injecting into the iso but i dont really know how to do it....and google doesnt really care to help me with those hundreds of sites...maybe you can explain it a little to me ? or give link where i can find clear instuction?

How to: Inject Kexts into Leopard DVD
## AppleNForceATA.kexts are used in this example, but you are able to put basically whatever kexts you want 1. hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite 2. rm -rf /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext 3. cp -rp /path/to/new/AppleNForceATA.kext /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns 4. chown -R root:wheel /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext 5. chmod -R 755 /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext Eject, then boot |

Taisto, you are probably on Windows right now, are you?
If you don't have any Mac to do it, then you need a Windows Method. I think roisoft knows more, at least I know there's an application called TransMac for Win. |
If you are on Windows, download transmac and open the iso with it, go to /system/library/extensions and drag & drop your Kext, close and reburn...boot with -f -v, if you have a success install, copy the kext again ( leo HD /system/library/extensions ) boot with -s and type :
mount -uw / cd /system/library/extensions chmod -R 755 "yourkext.kext" chown -R root:wheel "yourkext.kext" reboot boot with -f |
if i remember transmac (unlicensed) is not good and has a file size limit, MacDisk or MacImage is better even without a license http://www.macdisk.com/mden.php3

Yepp, im currently on Windows ( Vista x64 ), i`ll try this method and post the results. Thanks for advices guys :)
Oh and BTW - anybody knows when Zeph Rev2 can be out ? month, two ? |
i also have a sb600 southbridge... i was unlucky with native ide... hdd wasnt recognized... but with ahci setting i could erase with zeros... format... mount the disc... but in the beginning of the installation whilte its says time remaining : calculating it just stops working... i dont think its the sb600 bridge... since i could access the hdd from the disk utility... can it be simple the cd wasnt burnt right?
