[Thread cleaned]

ahh wow. ok well I guess then some in-house cleaning is expected? (...regarding the many other torrents that have been discussed here with regards to seeding and leeching...)

Good to know this was changed.

[palmpje]

Getting it now, hope my gfx kext will work with this :)

Have you tried an efi string with universal tools?

[Taisto]

yeah, nothing works for me, i still don`t know how to make EFI for my Mobility Radeon X1600 - that`s why my pc can`t sleep.

sorry for offtop guys :)

--

got it, and well - still no 10.5.6 for me :) installer doesn`t even start, it hangs after 10-15 seconds showing "blocked" cursor in the middle of screen. Thought that i`ve burnt the dvd, but got 2 copies and it`s still the same.

[cmdshft]

Download here. All PPF patching tools included (14MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/file/zdza3izkodw/iPCPPF.zip)

* Adds support for nForce chipsets on DVD Boot

Regardless of whether you have nForce chipset or not, it is HIGHLY recommended that you patch your ISO, because all future ISOs will be based from this patched ISO. 2 PPF patcher tools included, PPF O Matic for Windows and PPFMaster for Mac OS X. Use these tools to patch the ISO. Please verify your MD5 before and after the patch!

Happy OSx86ing!

[Taisto]

Yeah, it`s most likely problem with chipset. I don`t have nForce though, i`ve ATI SB600 but i`ll give it a try. It hangs on the "root device" thing. have tried all possible ways from the topic with the root device problem but nothing helped.

I`ll try this patch, thanks. Oh and by the way - does anyone have the SB600 ppf patch ? I know it`s out there but couldnt find it anywhere.

[Mitch]

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=130895

This is the SB600 driver, would you mind adding it to the next PPF?
I'm also using SB600 and this fixed my booting problems with my previous Kalyway install.

I'm still downloading the beta so I can't test it yet.

[pcwiz]

Will add that for the next PPF, thanks :)

PPF2 didn't work on my SB600 chipset. Tried about every single setting in my BIOS possible.

[CyCLoBoT]

As for the Alternate bootloaders, do I have to select both those options or just one? If just one, which one do I select? I am confused about it.

[cmdshft]

In -v, does AppleVIAATA load?

EDIT: After a look into the SB600 drivers, the devID's are apparently missing. These will be added in a new PPF. It wont be right away, though. As soon as it's done, I will post it.

As for the Alternate bootloaders, do I have to select both those options or just one? If just one, which one do I select? I am confused about it.

You don't have to select either if you don't want to. The first one is a regular chameleon built to accept a DSDT.aml file as well as a custom extensions folder, the second is for supporting a DSDT.aml and also for setting up a custom boot image.

Installing both could prove fatal, never install two of the "same" thing.

[Taisto]

Reporting ;) patching with the second PPF for SB600 works, installation goes very quick, and as for now - it`s working. Too early to say hurrah but 10.5.6 is working on my pc with no problems ( yet ;) ). The only problem is that AppleACPIBatteryMeter.kext causes kernel panic after minute of OS working ( when installed from dvd ) or screen turning off after few minutes when i install it manually from my previous os - i have no idea how it`s related to the problem, but it appears only with this kext loaded - so no battery meter for now. Big thanks for the release and for the patch guys.

[pcwiz]

There is something called the "PowerManagement Package" underneath the Power Management category. Install this for working battery meter

Didn't fix but found the problem/solution, it's because i'm using voodoo final and 64 bit, if i boot into -legacy it works

Hi,

Finally I've got it running on my GA-P35C-DS3R. I didn't doubt the release at all! But... until 10.5.5 it was possible for me to boot with the ICH8R controller in RAID mode: a 2x SATA RAID 0 set for Window$, and 1x SATA (non-raid memberoff course!).

Now I have to set the controller to AHCI permanently. Is there any known way to fix this?

Or is it possible to boot for OSX from a SIL3132 PCIe SoftRAID controller?

--UPDATE-- !!!

After installing the kexts for the GA-P35C-DS3R with Universal OSX86 Installer, I am able to put my controller back into the RAID mode again! ;)

So using iPC 10.5.6 beta and the UInstaller it is possible to have a working 10.5.6. Only the Time Machine is not working yet, but the world will keep on turning without that. Nevertheless I will try to get that working too!

But still: does anyone know if OSX can boot from a SIL3132 PCIe SATA SoftRAID controller?

[Taisto]

I`ve just noticed that my os doesn`t see my dvd drive - i remember that someone had the same problem but i can`t find it. Anyone knows what could be the reason ?

[cmdshft]

I`ve just noticed that my os doesn`t see my dvd drive - i remember that someone had the same problem but i can`t find it. Anyone knows what could be the reason ?

It works for SOME versions of SB600, but not all, and so I would suggest waiting for the new PPF to put in the right drivers.

[Taisto]

Oh i see, it worked in LawlessPPC release, i thought they`re the same drivers. I`ll wait then - guess i don`t really need the dvd if i`ve noticed that it doesn`t work after few days :)

[JCsHands]

I have downloaded this ISO and no matter what I try I cant get it to boot. I can try to enter any combination of flags. I looks like it loads the kext files and then when it goes to boot restarts immediately.
I thought that it might have been caused by the jmicron 363 chip in my system but it does the same thing with an IDE to USB adapter. I was able to install it on my old Dell GX260 and it installed and booted fine. I even installed it to an old PATA drive I had lying around with the kexts for this system but it still seems to fail.

I have tried to use other older distros(TOH, Kalaway, iAtkos) they seem to start loading OS X but fail on something else.

If you guys are aware of anything else I would really appreciate the input. I am at m wits ends trying to think of anything else I can try.

Restored iPC to USB drive and installed on to an Acer Aspire One. You do have a fully loaded customize menu. Thanks for all the hard work.

[zuz242]

i am on my way with this distro. install went fine so far.(sb600, ppf2)

but it hangs halfway in the gui, blue background and mouse pointer, but no further.
only thing working is booting with -x.

one thing i might try is installing without gfx drivers / removing ati..2000.kexts.

mandatory options for my AMD machine are voodoo kernel and DSDT patch and chipset driver, right?


btw: i´m installing from usb stick, not dvd.. :)



EDIT: i removed ati 2000 kext and installed anew. working fine so far ;)

[cmdshft]

You don't need DSDT. It's there only as a last resort. You do need Voodoo kernel and the chipset driver.

[hadji]

Thanks

[FirstHackTosh]

Unable to download PPF1 ... Safari/Firefox.

[flip360]

i have the P5Q and i must say its an excellent board and iPC is working alright on it..just the audio is not working with the provided kext which is strange (@ ~pcwiz i tried a fresh install with the kext provided on the dvd but it didnt worked) i had to install an AzaliaAudio.kext that is working for me (would be glad to provide it for the final build) still no info about the onboard audio in the system configuration window though. The Atheros network onboard chip has no working kext for it, it would be great to have it but you can solve this with a realtek 8139 card which works by default i osx :)

cheerz

[FirstHackTosh]

Now, the download worked ...
Will arrive the thrid PPF soon? If not, I will burn today the iso

[naquaada]

It's a nice image, the installation options are looking very good. Sadly the image isn't working for me, although I used both patches. My board components are suppoeted 100% since 10.4.6.

The graphics screen is totally distorted at the beginning, the lower half part is black with white blocks and stripes in it. When I change the X1600 kexts with patched ones (Natit/ATIInject removed) it works, but I still have the problem that Quicktime 7.5.5 is so slow, even the intro video stutters horribly. It is possible to generate an EFI string or something for the X1600Pro (ID 0x71c2) ? The card is not slow, the xbench reults are very good.

Another problem is that the image only sets the first partition bootable. I have my test partition as partition 2, it isn't booting after installation. I presume this problem is on all images since the Chameleon bootloader is used.

Why aren't the PS/2 drivers installed automatically? I think a lot of people are using PS/2. The AppleNforceATA driver from slashack with 4 GB support should be on disk, it works great.

[norcimo]

HP Pavilion DV2500 laptop, intel chipset and CPU. Celeron dual core, Used the default chameleon loader, and default kernal.
installation goes quickly. Boots up fast.. used Ps2 keyboard and mouse driver, Graphcis Excellent! Intel GM950 with acceleration GREAT, Sound Conextant HD GREAT!, SUPER FAST. DVD WORKS GREAT, USBS all work... but I cant reboot, cause I wont boot up.

Everything works very well, need to install network driver... but I can't. cause it wont boot up from the initial installation procedure...

I delete that extention ktext file, like instructed...and do a -f at the boot.

And then it boots and hangs. The display that I can see says. Somthing about a framebuffer found ..Ok...

and thats it. Nothing more.! PLEASE HELP??? anyone?

[pcwiz]

Sorry for my absence lately, was busy. Now onto the issues. I got a list of stuff here to add for PPF3:

http://pcwizcomputer.com/ipcosx86/?p=113

naquaada,

If you can send me the working kexts I'd be more than happy to add them for the next PPF. I haven't seen EFI strings being commonly used for ATI X1000 series cards, but you can definitely try generating an EFI string yourself to see if it works. QuickTime is an issue, yes, but couldn't you just downgrade it? The reason why I didn't include PS2 by default is because iPC is designed to be as close to vanilla as possible (which sets it apart from other distros) and installing kexts that the user (may) not use can complicate things. And yes the slashack driver is included in the next PPF

Thanks for the suggestions :)

[naquaada]

Normally the Quicktime installer won't downgrade to a lower version. I can try to remove the installation check, but that's not the way it should be. If I'm using 10.5.6 I can't use Quicktime 7.4.5. It's curious why only me has this problem - except my friends which use the same configuration. I presumed it was the Perian codec, but the problem also occures after a fresh installation.

I attached the X1600 drivers, but maybe its possible to add the Device IDs directly to AppleRadeonX1000.kext, actually only 0x71c21002 is in the list. I'm wondering why nobody tested the second monitor output, ATI cards have two IDs. The device for the second monitor is 71ce on my card. Do you have a link to an EFI string guide?

A nice addon would be a additional setting that all 'Energy saving' options are disabled.

What about the info texts to the PS/2 drivers: Only install one driver? WHat does this mean? Either one PS/2 keyboard or one PS/2 mouse, but not both?

To the look of the DVD: I saw that you changed it a bit, added the iPC name to it and so, mmh. Doesn't look original anymore, especcially the removed license text. You put the info text in it, but the result is the same like in the license text: Nobody reads it because everyone wants to the install menu. Tip: Add a new folder in the installation menu 'Readme files'. This could look like this:

http://naquaada.na.funpic.de/naq/osx86/forum/infinitemac/naquaada/pix/readmemenu.png

If you write the text in the information fields this would be more informative that an long scrolling info page eveyone skips. But it should be formatted in a way that it fits in the info field.

PCwiz: I was never a fan of 3rd-party software on the main install disc, it is often outdated very soon, and Zephyroth's AMD Utilities are missing. I would recommend to remove them and put them on a second installation image, including the things you removed, like additional speech voices and so on (but no printer drivers). This saves space on the install dvd and a smaller image is easier to download and to update. Additional Fonts could also be moved on this disc.

It is possible to store files in a higher compression ratio or as Intel-only? I never had problems using Xslimmer reduced applications. Blacklisted system programs are Activity Monitor, Mail, Safari, DictionaryViewer (if Apple Dictionary is ment with this). Xcode and Dashcode are blacklisted too.

There are two other things: On various images the installer detected the selected language and select only this language, not all. It wouldn't be neccessary, but nicer (and one possible install problem less). On any image ever the language chooser fails, so if the installation is finished, after the reboot the language is defaulted to English. This would be a real new thing if this issue would be fixed.

[naquaada]

So, I found a way to add an EFI String to my system, and my card is faster again, xbench shows over 240 against 220 with ATIinject. And I had to downclock my RAM, ATIiject was measured with DDR 400, EFI with DDR 333. I attached the xbench results, I would be interested in some results of actual nVidia cards (8xxx and 9xxx series?).

But this still solves not the Quicktime problem: QT 7.5.5 needs 113% on my 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Opteron when playing in full screen (1600x1200).

BTW: The iTunes Classic Visualizer needs about 118% with Quicktime 7.4.5 on my system when running in near-fullscreen.

[ANTC]

i was able to install the ipc beta perfectly but i got a few issues.. which I'm looking to reslove with some help.
First my wireless card wasn't picked up since I wasnt sure what package use since i have the D-Link Xtreme N PCI Express card. all of the other distros i've used had the package already built-in so i never even had to select the package.

second i selected, nvidia geforce 9800GTX nvinject only since i have a 9800 GTX but now i have artifacts.. but everything else works well on the GPU side

Everytime i try mounting a DMG the pc gives me the grey screen of death.. which i asked about on a other forum for another distro they said to replace the "seatbelt.kext" from 10.5.5 but where would i be able to find that kext

also in the about mac it showes my processor running at 200mhz but in windows its fine so im assuming its a bad reading

and last thing, is this distro able to use updates stright from apple or we have to wait till u release updates?

[lanceomni]

Graphics
For your 9800GX check this link out http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=98666
Remove any other kexts related to video and make sure to to properly set permissions.

Seatbelt
Give this seatbelt.kext a try. It should be pre 10.5.6 http://rapidshare.com/files/178549460/seatbelt.kext.zip

Installation
You can use kexthelper or refer to this post where manual installation has been described. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/kernel-panic-downloading-big-torrent-file-t1834/

Let us know if it worked out for you. Also place your system specs in your signature. That will help us out.

[ANTC]

ok specs added to my sig, trying the seatbelt..any idea for my wireless card?

[dotzev]

Hi,just made my account here:p I was wondering if someone can tell me what drivers I need to install so things go as smoothly as they can.For you to tell me this,you need to know my hardware - so here goes:

CPU-Phenom 9830
GPU-ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2
Motherboard - Gigabyte MA790FX-DQ6
RAM 2x2GB DDR 800 = 4GB

So can someone pls tell me what drivers do I need to pick and for that matter how should I burn the image?... :-d

[lanceomni]

You have the image file but have not burned it yet?

Windows
You can burn ISO files to disk using this ImgBurn (free): http://www.imgburn.com/

OSX
You can burn using Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/

Remember to burn at a slow speed and verify the disk as burning at your max speed may cause problems during installation.

We will start with your specs. Here is a link to your motherboards spec sheet. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2690&ProductName=GA-MA790FX-DQ6

Chipset: AMD 790FX + SB600
Audio: ALC889A
Lan: Realtek 8111B
Graphics: ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2

You want to make sure you only choose options which you are sure will work. Choosing the wrong driver or multiple drivers from the same category can sometimes cause problems.

Personally I would choose the bare minimum and no graphics drivers (Not choosing graphics drivers will give you 1024X768 default graphics) and then fix each issue one at a time. You can avoid a lot of problems and also learn what needs to be fixed and why. This is however not really the point for this distro as they have done a wonderful job at including almost every fix you can think of. I have read about issues with 790FX chipsets but Ill let others chime in on this.

I would do this.
1. Get the disk burned
2. Try to boot the disk
3. Create a new Thread/Post under the "Questions Problem & Support" section. I would name it something like "Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830"

If you can get into the installer then that's an obstacle you will have overcome.

When booting the DVD you will be given the chance to add boot-options. It should countdown and allow you to press F8 to add these options.
Use the following option:
-vVerbose mode will display useful information instead of an apple logo. If you have problems booting the DVD then it should stop on a particular line and you can post that information on the forum.

4GB of memory may cause system freezes. There are two fixes I am aware of. You don't necessarily need to worry about it right now but just be away of random freezes. 1. Using the boot-flag maxmem will force OSX to only use the amount of memory you assign in megabytes. For example to limit your memory to 2GB or 2048MB it would go like this.
-v maxmem=2048Notice the -v boot-flag discussed in the previous paragraph? You can use multiple boot flags by adding a single space between them.
2. There are patched 64bit kexts that fix the problem. I am using one at it works like a charm.

@lanceomni Thank you SO much!!! I'll definitely try everything you said:D(Y)

[naquaada]

I have found some problems - 'About this Mac' shows 3.7 GHz Intel Core Solo - I know about the Core Solo, but why 3.7 GHz? In System Profiler in 'Hardware' nothing is diplayed.

Say, was the original image from a Macbook? The Keyboard/Mouse prefs won't load, if you start the prefpane directly you get the one from a Macbook, including Trackpad and so on. I used the one from 10.5.5, now it's working. Carzy, I want to keep it as additional preferences pane, so I renamed it (filename and in the package) and installed it in /Library/PreferencesPanes. If I start it now I get a message 'You cannot open keyboard and mouse preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac'. Ha Ha ;-)

If you install from another system (not from DVD) the languages aren't installed properly. Finder etc. are only in English.

Finder 10.5.8 crashes/restarts if I want to open the Finder's Preferences, the same happens when closing a window. I also get sometimes kernel panics depending on the Finder. I had to resore to version 10.5.6.

By the way - the image still has integrated Quicktime 7.5.0. I created a reinstaller to Quicktime 7.4.5, only with this Quicktime is useable for me. But I'm not the only one who has problems with Quicktime 7.5 - also real Mac users have:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7523351
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7512000#7512000

Please can anyone do the same test as me: Run Activity Monitor with CPU History shown in Dock and play a movie which has an original size of 320x240 in DivX format using the actual Perian codec. Scale as big as possible, on my resolution this is 1307x960 pixel (with Dock shown). Quicktime 7.4.5 needs only 10% for this on my Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4 GHz), Quicktime 7.5 or 7.5.5 need more than 90% and stutters terrible. But the frame rate is always shown 25, the same problem what the guys in the Apple forum had.

Your particular SB600 chipset might not be supported. This will be fixed in IPC_PPF3.

i just finished downloading the release, patched it and the installed it. It works great on my machine, i even managed to get digital audio working on my adi1988 onboard card.
i only had some minor problems:
- sometimes a really high pitched sound comes out from the speakers after boot. i goes away when playing video or audio, and it does only seldom return.
- last.fm player does not output audio. Amua (which works with itunes) works great. i have no idea why last.fm player is not working.

EDIT: last.fm player works now. for some reason after installing the adi1988 driver, the default audio output was set to line out not digital out.

funny thing is i tried to install this on my girlfriends machine, which is an pentium d on a 945 gz MB, and intel 950 video, it installed really fast on the sata drive, and then it did not load. i tried booting with -v -f flags, i got the fast scrolling screen when reloading the drivers, and then it just stopped on a black screen.

any ideas anyone? thanks.

[nfoav8or]

sounds like a kernel drop.

have you checked the proper customizing options? (you can still use voodoo with pentium D)

Also, check the BIOS out for better AHCI support, etc.

[lemn]

i didn't try voodoo kernel, i thought on intel it should work with the vanilla kernel. also, i selected some extra drivers, like marvell gigabit ethernet, intel ich sata and some others. i'll try again, i'll post here if i get it right :)

Remove any other kexts related to video and make sure to to properly set permissions.

Seatbelt
Give this seatbelt.kext a try. It should be pre 10.5.6 http://rapidshare.com/files/178549460/seatbelt.kext.zip

You can use kexthelper or refer to this post where manual installation has been described. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/kernel-panic-downloading-big-torrent-file-t1834/

Let us know if it worked out for you. Also place your system specs in your signature. That will help us out.

ok i was able to fix the dmg issue with the seatbelt fix, but now i over looked my audio..it shows no built in audio. i selected the one i have the ac97 and nothing. also for my wireless card it doesn't even show up in settings so its something with my pcie devices not being able to be picked up. and im going to try that graphics fix right now.

try to be sure what sound card you really have. ac97 is a standard, not a manufacturer. my audio card (adi1988) is identified in bios as azalia audio. the azalia audio driver will only give stereo output. so it's very important to see exactly what audio chipset you have. it should be in your motherboard manual, or on your motherboard manufacturer website.
i see that there are many audio drivers included in the ipc release, so select the exact one you have.
if you already hava a working system, you can use pacifist to install an audio driver from the ipc dvd. it would be best to remove any other audio kexts from /System/Library/Extensions, and also extensions.mkext if you install a new driver. after that reboot with -f flag to force loading all the kexts.
hope this works for you.

just run ppf-o-matic, use the select buttons to select the iso and the ppf file, and then click apply. be sure to use ppf1 first and then ppf2. it does not matter where the iso and the ppf are located.

it would also help a lot if you would put your hardware specs in your signature.

[nfoav8or]

boot.efi is the file used by real macs to boot to that volume. It sounds like the bootloader you selected didn't install correctly. Either this or you selected the wrong one. How did you customize?

[pinchio]

You may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected.

Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?

[pinchio]

I also wanted to add that on CD boot at the f8 screen I entered "-f -x -v". Now I did this on each install attempt with the same end result - the BomFileError message mentioned earlier.

I also tried to select as little as I could on the customize screen during install. I think the last attempt I simply selected the Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 since I have an AMD cpu.

Other than that there isn't much more I can add.

I did patch the 10.5.6 ISO with ppf1 and ppf2.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I want to update from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6.
Is it possible only to use the ipc OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, which is includded on the disc, 463 mb?

I've tried AMD software updater. But when detecting cpuid, it gave error.

I've tried this method.

Installing PC_EFI v9 with Universal OSX86 installer. This worked.
But DSDT Patcher Gui, none of them worked, gave failures.
But i did the software update, not with ASU, and system doesn't work anymore. I will try a clean install with iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3.

[nfoav8or]

You may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected.

Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?

the EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old chameleon is fine yet too, but we'll see some cool features being put into the newer bootloaders soon.

ppf2 isn't really needed by your system. have you checked the md5 to verify everything patched ok?

Just so we are on the same page. I booted the PC with the DVD iso in place. Clicked F8 and entered "-v" then hit enter. After that I eventually get to the customize menu. From there I only selected the Voodoo kernel and seatbelt patch. I then selected the Apple enforce drivers since that was the only option that looked like it matched my chipset (nforce, see signature).

Am I missing something?

Oh I forgot to mention I have a USB mouse and a PS2 keyboard.

Yes I verified the checksum after applying the ppf1 and ppf2 patches to the iso.

I'm not sure what might be going on here.

I tested iDeneb 10.5.5 and updated with an unpatched 10.5.6 update and got the same problems in 'About this Mac' and System Profiler/Hardware. I tried an update with an package patched by Zephyroth's updater, there these problems didn't happen (but there were enough others :-P ). This is mainly on AMD CPUs I think. Ideal testers would be on Socket 939.

@alxdabrazil:

Open on your boot drive and look in /System/Library/CoreServices, there's the finder. replace it with a version from 10.5.5. To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane with a normal one. Maybe you have to repair permissions with Disk Utility.

Does the System Profiler show all hardware information about your CPU and so? There's an error on my system. What do you have for a system, do you have AMD or Intel? What kernel are you using, 9.5.0 or 9.6.0. Plz add your system specs in your signature.

i first of all installed it with nvkush and 0.2.1 512mb package in the installation and my nVidia 8500gt card worked, it supported the transpancy, my ideal resolution etc. except that when i go to any full screen program, ie. front row or iTunes visualizers i don't get the nice fade in/ fade out full screen effect.
i've also tried the 9f23 installer from nvinstallers and right after that the efi studio but no luck. can anyone direct me on what to do? or should i downgrade to 10.5.4, with my previous install disk. running 9.5.0 voodoo kernel. chameleon boot loader with the custom picture. i have AMD.

the way my realtek ALC888 started working is i installed the ALC888 package first in the installation or in the DVD but nothing workek, and then i installed ALC888 Legacy Address 0, and that solved everything with all my jacks working.

install the HDAEnabler kext file so the system shows that it works... then make sure you correct permissions and have an updated Extensions.mkext file or just boot with -f to ensure it is using the kext.

This is the first time im trying to install Mac OSX, so if i need to change kext files or something, expect that i understand 0% of it.
Tho, it would help if start some research. A lot of answers can be found by merely typing "osx86 YOURPROBLEMHERE" into google. It is likely that the problems you might face have already been discussed in this and other forums. But hey if you get stuck let us know we will try to help you out.

Will you be wanting to install OSX only or do you wish to dual boot with say Windows XP?

I would first get your specs set up in your signature so that every time you post we can refer to what kind of hardware you are running. http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_signatures_av atars

Lets say your looking at iPC 10.5.6. All things perfect you are able to boot into the installer.


Make sure you do not skip past the option to "Customize". This allows you to add various drivers and fixes and is pretty important.
Only select options which you know will work. This is especially important with the graphics section. Choosing the wrong option or multiple options will cause problems where not choosing anything will get you default graphics and the ability to boot into OSX. Its generally easier to fix a problem from the fancy OSX interface after the fact.
Keep a sheet of paper handy and write down the options you select and what the outcome is.

When you boot the DVD or from a drive you have installed on you will see "Darwin" at the top of the screen and it will count down before continuing. This gives you a chance to enter some boot options (boot flags) if needed. If needed you can press F8 durring the countdown and enter them at the prompt. For example entering -v here will boot you in Verbose mode. This means instead of a blank screen with apple logo you get a text version of the boot process. If you get stuck usually you can see the last thing it was doing and post about it. There is an option in the iPC distro that says Verbose Mode. I would select that as it will put you in verbose automatically.

Give it a try and write down your steps. If you get stuck let us know. I would search the forum first for your answer and then post in the Questions section.

Im not sure about your graphics Ill have to do some research.

[Elvirana]

First, many thanks for this answer.

I want a OSX only system, just because i'm getting tired of windows and Mac is better supported on school, but right now i dont have enough money to buy a real Mac osx system.

Currently my download is on 41,0%. So i hope i can install it tomorrow( at least some attempts)

I will write it down, but how do i know wich kernel to choose? And wich is compitabel with my machine?

Also, when i get to the the point of installing, ill get you updated if something is wrong, or when everything goes right, i will post it too.;)
But i didnt saw my graphic card on the list in the other thread of iPC.
So i wait for that first.

Elvir.

[lanceomni]

@Elvirana


These are just suggestions:
Kernel - 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel (This is a great choice as it fixes issues related to running OSX on AMD and makes everything a little less painful.)
Video - None
Chipset - Im not too familiar with yours but I have read that for this particular section you can choose all of the options except those that conflict. So choose only one of each of those. nForce & maybe VIA are have multiple options. Im not too sure. Id see if anyone else chimes in on this one.
Audio - ALC883
Fixes and Patches -
Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (I had problems with the 10.5.6 version. Im not sure if that is only with nForce chipsets or with all of them)
Verbose Mode
Applications - Kext Helper & Pacifist are pretty handy.

If everything goes well and the install completes you may want to use the boot flag -f on your first startup.

Kexts (Drivers) are stored in the /System/Library/Extensions folder and OSX takes these kexts and creates a single cache file called extensions.mkext. -f Forces OSX to load drivers from the extensions folder and not the cache file just to make sure all of the options you have chosen are applied.

[EternalEmpty]

So, any one know why "About This Mac" crash ????

no one?

[grescho]

I pretty sure this crash has already been documented, but I can't seem to find the answer...
sorry!
I installed the latest image with both patches applied succesfully.
Everything installs fine, and runs ok. Network is ok once nforce.kext is installed.

But. The probelm i'm getting is a kernel crash when I download VLC and as soon as it tries to mount image it fails.

I'm quite sure it's to do with mounting images, and i'm sure i've read a fix for this somewhere, If anyone could just help me out, I would be very grateful!!

Thanks

[Elvirana]

Ok last question before i burn the dvd:
Wich graphics driver should i choose from?
because i cant find it and i dont want to choose the wrong one.

[lanceomni]

Don't choose any. If you don't choose one you will end up with default graphics but you will be able to boot into OSX and have a nice interface to work with.

You can then hunt for the correct driver and install after the fact.

[Elvirana]

Ok, i will start now.
Thanks for the help and advice.

btw, i should choose nforce and VIA for the chipset?

To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane with a normal one. Maybe you have to repair permissions with Disk Utility.

Does the System Profiler show all hardware information about your CPU and so? There's an error on my system. What do you have for a system, do you have AMD or Intel? What kernel are you using, 9.5.0 or 9.6.0. Plz add your system specs in your signature.

I have updated my signature with my system specs.
The system profiler show all information about my system after installing some kext for my motherboard and my sound card, nothing more.
My graphic card work perfectly with EFI strings.
About This Mac show an unknown processor working at 4 ghz (mine work at 3ghz).
I have get rid of this wrong information with a pkg named AboutThisMac.pkg . But i don't remember where i put this pkg on my hard drive... Maybe on a Jas release disc.

[fman1234]

Hey everyone.. just like to let you guys know that this release looks GREAT! and kudos to the people behind it!

I was just wandering is my system fine to run this specific release? and is my graphics card supported?

Cheers,
Fman

[delian7]

well i've gotten LAN for my MCP61 Lan. but i've got a problem.. when i installed this nForce Kext sleep mode doesn't work for me anymore. I am running 9.6.0 XNU kernel, AMD, iPC 10.5.6, and 8500 gt graphics.

thz.

[JCsHands]

So I think I discovered part of why my computer was restarting. I have the MSI P43 Neo3-F with an E7300 Core 2 Duo and it looks like the version of the Chameleon that ships on the iPC DVD and the iAtkos DVD seem to instantly reboot. I thought that it had to do with a kext or something, but after installing it using iDeneb 1.3 I tried to use the EFI strings for the graphics card and used OSX86 Tools to reinstall Chameleon and it started doing the instant reboot thing.
So my guess is that PC EFI v9 will work on my system, but not Chameleon. Maybe the next revision of Chameleon will work, I really hope so.

[terrorgen]

With voodoo kernel I entered the blue screen with one mouse cursor on the top left corner and another that I can move it with my mouse. So I thought it was the decrypt problem and deleted appledecrypt.kext (I have a 10.5.5 installation on another harddisk)

Now it it wouldn't boot into GUI. In verbose mode I can type letters into it but it just did nothing after loading for some time.

AppleDecrypt.kext is needed to load the GUI, as loginwindow.app, Finder.app, Dock.app and any other Apple binaries are protected and encrypted, and you can't use a hacked kernel with Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext (which is what does the decrypting on a retail installation and only Apple stock vanilla kernel can work with this kext as far as I know, as there have been reports of "retail" hacks not needing an OSx86 decryptor).

The graphics issue you have is with a graphics driver or drivers, and maybe even an injector as well.

[terrorgen]

so shall I delete Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext instead? I read about replacing it with dsmos.kext, is it OK to do it?

I tried copying Natit.kext from my 10.5.5 but it doesn't work either (in fact I didn't see it loaded)

You don't have to delete it, the Voodoo kernel automatically blacklists and blocks that kext from loading.

Use AppleDecrypt, as it's the fastest out of all the OSx86 decryptors.

Natit is oldschool. Try NVkush, NVinject or NVdarwin instead, as these are all vastly more updated injectors than Natit, Titan, or MacVidia.

[terrorgen]

thanks Hara Taiki... I will try it later

Aren't they for NVidia cards only?

[gipo]

I'm sorry... i tried to install this great release but no fortune...
I upgraded the iso with both PPF and selected all i think was right for my HW, but on reboot i had an ACPI error, and panic. Tried three times at the moment, with and without graphics, with voodoo's 9.5 and seatbelt, is someone so kind to give me a right to what is best to select for my hardware... please. Thanks in advance to all of you working on this dream.

[cmdshft]

nVidia only is right. Although, he never specified what card he had.

[EternalEmpty]

yes .. it was the default kernel

[terrorgen]

well, as a matter of fact, I did. It's in my sig.

Anyways, I finally got 10.5.6 running on my Hackintosh. Everything is up and running. Only one thing: My two IDE optical drives are not detected.

How can I get this fixed? is there something to do with AppleVIAATA.kext?

[EternalEmpty]

if you're using vanilla kernel, i don't know. if you;re using voodoo kernel, then you might want to install applesmbios.kext:

http://drop.io/6o3tek9



Thanks, I have fix it up by installing ToH version, and it works ok. just can't read the version of the CPU ..so I guess it is not a big deal ..

at least now ..it is not crashing any more

[pinchio]

Hey All,

I got 10.5.6 up and running on my Gateway. The issue now is that I only selected the bare essentials to get this far after several failed attempts.

This is my first "tosh" so I'm not sure how I would install drivers for the remaining bits. So could someone point me in the right direction.

The pieces that aren't detected are...

ATI Radeon X1800
Linksys Wifi card (PCI) WMP54G

A little help would be appreciated. And please don't assume I know any special Mac lingo or parlance.

Thanks

[zyph3r]

Nice distro with a lots of options.. But maybe its a little too much confusing for the begginers IMO

[dotzev]

install the HDAEnabler kext file so the system shows that it works... then make sure you correct permissions and have an updated Extensions.mkext file or just boot with -f to ensure it is using the kext.

Where is this HDA Enabler and how do I correct the permissions?...
Do I do this on the installed system or do I do a clean install???

Forgot to mention that I'm a noob :D

[zyph3r]

On installed system, google for HDAEnabler.kext and install the kext using Kext Helper (it will fix perfimissions for you)

[Doerak]

He dudes,

Something nice happened. I installed Zepthyroth Leopard 10.5.2. Then with AMD software update i did update to 10.5.6.

After reboot -f. And voila. No kernel update or something like that first. Still using Darwin 9.2.0.

My system:

AMD 3800
Nvidia 6600 LE
Asus motherboard a8n-e

"No output devices found"...

I'd really appreciate any other ideas :P

[terrorgen]

Thanks Hara Taiki, my hackintosh is running in full glory with Voodoo 9.5 kernel...




...EXCEPT...

- System Information shows that I have 1 of 2 cores turned on. I would like both cores working.

- None of my two optical drives are detected, which are IDEs
(I have an old IOATAFamily.kext with me which I used to patch older versions of Leopard, not sure if it is going to work either, but is there a newer way to do it?)

- VMware Fusion is still having KP while starting VMs, even when I feed the boot prompt with kernel=mach_kernel, heard it is because of the RAMs? I have 4G.

- iPhone is not mounting properly. It shows in iTunes, syncs for a second and then disappears. However it still shows in SysInfo.

hi! i tried installing ipc public beta (patched) on a gigagbyte p35-ds3r, but am having difficulties making the ethernet adapter work.

it installed without any problems at first, them i noticed the network card doest detect the network, and some other little things.

will try to re-install again with different configurations and see what happens :)

Do you have wireless? If so, you can run install and run OSx86 Tools.app and then click "Download and Install Hardware Drivers", it will detect what your network card is and download then install the right driver.

[gnalc]

no, i don't have wireless, but that was a nice tip! i will attempt to try it in the future when i get to play with hardware that has wireless :)

i managed to sucessfully install ipc 10.5.6 (with the 2 patches) last night, and everything was working. but, i had problems when i tried running some pro apps.
things don't work the way they should have been working.

also, had problems enabling quartz extreme (even using osx86 tools didn't work), so i resulted to removing nvkush, and using nvinject instead.

after that, i tried installing vmaware fusion 2.0 beta but it doesnt allow me to finish installation :c


now i'm back to kalyway 10.5.2 while i'm investigating maybe i have faulty hardware. i will attempt to do a fresh install of ipc later tonight. will post my findings :)

gigabyte p35 ds3r
intel q8450
4gb ddr 800 corsair xms

ok, this is what i have so far.

installed ipc 10.5.6
vanilla kernel
intel ich10
jmicron ata (although i dont think this makes a difference)
nvkush

everything worked okay, tried installing the sound but that didnt work, so i used pcwiz' Gigabyte GA-(E)P35-DS3X Control Center to try and install the audio driver and ethernet driver (that didnt work from the ipc 10.5.6 installer)

after the reboot, the sound was working but the network card still isn't :(

is there any way that i can get it working? everything else seems to be working now (still investigating)

edit:
i just found out that the dvd player app keeps on crashing when you try to play anything. any leads?

Would you happen to have a driver for radeon x1800xl for this release? I have 10.5.6. installed with only the graphics card being the last issue.

The system profiler does not show any PCIe cards however the graphic display profile shows the correct device (0x7109) and vendor ids (0x1002).

I'm really pulling my hair out trying various methods to get this to show other resolutions. Currently it only displays at 1024x768.

i hope the sb600 support is full this time.. because i have a leo4all install and my hack boots so slow due to "iokitwaitquiet issue" and no matter what i have done i can't burn my dvd's at proper speeds.. toast and disco recognizes media as it should but when it comes to burning, it burns constantly at 1x. this is annoying because i am burning dvd's regularly:'( i will try tomorrow and i will report my experiences with the release.. thank you for sparing your time on this distros;)

Try using an EFI string.

Ok. I had a 8600GT previously I used an EFI string with that, but that time I also had some drivers installed, the 9f9 package from nvinstaller.com. Is there some sort of graphics driver package for the 9600GT or 9xxx series in general that I could use with my EFI string?

[cnone]

i tried with all of my knowledge and did what you said to do about this distro to make it install on my machine, but whatever i tried doesn't work.. still getting same stupid error:
still waiting for root device!!
please add "REAL" support for sb600 and please make it work on second partition. my details on my sig

and fyi: i applied ppf's respectively and everytime i patch the iso i checked the md5.
burned at 2x and verified with nero..
may i suggest you to look at the leo4allv4.1, because only that distro installs on my machine without any errors.. but i'm looking forward to some distro with "REAL" sb600 support, i hope you can manage to add this to future releases.
thank you

[cmdshft]

There may never be "real" SB600 support because it's such a shitty chipset (it's ATI, which is owned by AMD... bleh).

We have looked at Leo4All, bhast2 has helped us with numerous stuff, which we are greatfull for.

The only thing I can think of is checking your BIOS settings. There could be a setting which is what's causing you your issues.

[cnone]

don't get me wrong, i am grateful too, just want to report an issue, where can i find proper bios settings, what settings should be used? i am setting sata to ahci mode, plug and play os to yes what should i change other than these?

iPC OSx86 Public Beta PPF4 (http://www.mediafire.com/?mwikd3jttnj)

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE LAST PPF TO IPC PUBLIC BETA. NO PACKAGES CAN BE ADDED ANYMORE (ONLY ABOUT 4MB FREE SPACE ON THE DISC) AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIX DVD BOOT ERRORS

PLEASE APPLY PPF1 2 AND 3 BEFORE APPLYING THIS PPF4

MD5 of PPF4 Patched ISO: a702367d23d9b3374df19ace88a9fb08

Changelog

* Reverted to older Extensions.mkext to fix some boot time problems (this may or may not fix your problems so don’t get your hopes up too high)

* Added vanilla 9.5.0 kernel for boot. To boot using the vanilla kernel at the DVD F8 boot prompt type “vanilla”

* Added single user mode OSx86 Tools. Go to Single user mode (-s) after installing, mount your drive (mount -uw /) and run one of these commands to do things (the command is the “/usr/bin/*” part):

/usr/bin/install_efi - Reinstalls an EFI bootloader to the partition

/usr/bin/remove_ati_gfx - Backup and remove default OS X ATI kexts

/usr/bin/remove_intel_gfx - Backup and remove default OS X Intel kexts

/usr/bin/remove_nvidia_gfx - Backup and remove default NVIDIA kexts

/usr/bin/repair_permissions - Repairs permissions on the drive (*NOTE*: this may not work properly from single user mode due to the DiskArbitration framework not being loaded)

/usr/bin/rm_applesetupdone - Rerun the Apple Setup Assistant on startup

/usr/bin/rm_bad_kexts - Removes some “bad” kexts (AppleHWSensor, AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, AppleEFIRuntime)

/usr/bin/touch_applesetupdone - Fix for Setup Assistant loop

And that’s about it! Again, this is the last PPF, THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO ADD ANYTHING!! iPC OSx86 Final LiveDVD edition is coming out soon, which is basically iPC PPF4 with a LiveDVD base. After a lot of slimming this LiveDVD edition is still single layer (4.36GB) All the languages have been removed from the final iPC to get more room for the LiveDVD component, but the languages will be available separate.

It doesn't actually "crash", the installation works. PPF5 is going to be out probably by the end of tonight to fix that, it's an error but not one that causes the installation to actually fail. If you boot up again without the DVD in the computer, it should take you right to the welcome video.

What are the PPF's? What is "patching" a DVD install? I've had great success with Kalyway 10.5.2., and iDeneb 10.5.5 seems okay, had a few problems with it. They've both done the job of persuading me to buy either a real Mac, or a license for Mac OS. So just wondering what all this "patching" is all about.

I'm a bit confused by this. Obviously macs with these older cards works fine, so when you say Apple has "phased them out" what do you mean? My MBP with an X1600 works fine, as does my G4 Cube with a flashed 6200. I'm just a little curious about it.

I'm having a small issue with my install, and it could be more of an OS thing than an iPC thing, but whenever i reboot or logout, upon reentering the OS, my settings for Spaces behavior (activating on middle mouse click, switching via control+arrows keys) is randomly reset. When it happens i have to go in and reactivate the functionality.

I have seen references to an ISO. Where can I locate the latest version of this and any relevant updates? Please forgive me if my approach is wrong on this site. Any help would be greatly helpful.

Success on a Toshiba Satellite M115-s3094,( ON A USB 8GB pen drive) seems everything is working. Didn't try wireless ralink yet(choose ralink 2500), the on board does not work, video intel 950 with qe/ci ,but, a small "glich", cable internet OK( nothing choose), sound choose Azalia, voodoo 9.5.0 kernel and "seatbelt" as I have SSE2,for keyboard-ps/2 fix,well that is it basicaly... but it is tooo... slow! but is amazing...

Thanks

At update there are -quick time,iTunes,Safari ,Ilife - is it safe?

Honestly, if you dunno where to get it or how to use it, then it's not for you.

We're not allowed to tell you where to get it, either.

[jordan883]

I do know that you can get it off of sites like pirate bay but I don't like that site as it's full of porn pop ups. As for using it, I am trying to learn. I did infact get a copy, but I am now getting the waiting for root device error on two different distros. Oh and thanks for your support. If you can offer some constructive advise I would love to hear it. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off condescending. It sounded to me like you had no idea at all.

I will see what I can do, I don't have time right now.

[jordan883]

Thanks,
My PC has two Hard drives 1 Sata, 1 IDE, 1 Sata DVD burner,1 IDE burner, I have Vista on my Sata and I wanted to install it to the IDE. I had disabled the Sata hard drive in the BIOS as well as the IDE CD burner. I am getting the waiting for root device when booting the installl dvd not the installed OS. Any suggestions? Is disabling the extra in the BIOS engough? or do I have to open the box and disconnect?

@Hara Taiki,

I am not able to install iPC OSx86 distro on HP Mini 1001TU, because of ACPI_SMC error (I think so).

Only iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 that patches the ACPI_SMC error, but I love iPC OSx86.

The ACPI_SMC kext in the plugins folder of ioplatformpluginfamily.kext, but this kext does not exist in iPC (I extracted Extensions.mkext).

Could you please help me to sort out this with iPC distro.

Did you remember to install a chipset driver?

[nioin3k]

I cannot connect to the internet, or use my CD/DVD Drives.

I don't think I have drivers for my Network Card, or my CD/DVD Drives.

Motherboard Chipset: nForce680i-SLI
Network Adapter Properties: Network Adapter NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Interface Type: Gigabit Ethernet

CD/DVD: Standard Sata

I'm wondering if I missed some drivers when installing, or if I can find them somewhere else.

Thank you!

For AMD users: if you select the Voodoo 9.5.0 then you also have to select the Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5

Read people. It's right there in the first post.

[DEADLY360]

something like SB chipest that one
and i choose voodoo and click seatbelt.kext too

Have iPC 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 iso

My Machine
* CPU = AMD Atholon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
* SMBIOS Ver = 2.5
* Motherboard = MSI MS-7376
* Chipset = 790FX
* Memory = 4GB
* 3x 250GB sata
* 1x 320GB sata

What I´ve tried, disabled raid, changed the raid from ide to AHCI. Tried booting with -v. And always stoppes at "waiting for root device" somthing. I´ve been searching for some solutions but there is always somthing about sb600 kext driver, does that one work for the 790fx chipset ? Or is there some PPFs releases with this driver that I can download and patch the iso with ? What can I do ?

Please help ! Need OsX, hardware to expensive.

[iceraven]

Hi guys.
I'm trying to install this iso on my laptop Asus f3t TL52 (AMD Thurion 1.6)
Chipset is MCP51 (NForce 430i)
During install I used Voodoo kernel, installed Seatbelt. Chipset was set to deafult for nforce (don't remeber it's name)
After install I get "Still waiting for root device"
Tried patching it with PPF1.1, PPF2. After that new iso is not able to install. It shows an error after choosing the language during instalation startup.

thank you so much for your time

[dagger]

After using Zephyroth's 10.5.2 release for a long time (a tremendous, stable build), I had to switch to iPC 10.5.6 Final Release because of some issues I was having when I update to 10.5.6, and my machine is running pretty smoothly. It even resolved many little quirks from my previous install.

So many thanks to all who have made iPC. :)

[chord]

Never mind, I will start a new thread as my questions are not specificly related to iPC.

[misury]

Try the program Everest.
Link:
http://www.lavalys.com:8081/everestultimate460.exe
Install it and run it.
Go to Computer -> Summary.
I think you can find it all in there.

Thank you so much! I'm redoing the computer with Vista to run this but I ran it on my Samsung NC10 Netbook and it is awesome! Sadly I'm a computer tech and I've never even seen this software before. You rock! Thanks for the info.
