[7th]

Jare:I can't afford to pay for anything (no credit card). ANY other way? I looked through this whole topic.. no free shit.

Go to page 6 of this threat and read any of the 2 tutorials there or go to mIRC to learn how to do it for free...

Better go to page 6 =P

[1207FX]

I was going to quote him from page six, but not sure how..........states that it is a FREE account also

I read it, and understand it is free, but I paid already. it is FREE yes I know

1207FX:I was going to quote him from page six, but not sure how..........states that it is a FREE account also

IT IS FREE! Don't know why people are still paying for this =\
Just follow what is found into page 6 and it will work and, once more, FOR FREE!

[RyanThaDude29]

I just want to say thank you for uploading to usenet!

[Jare]

Loading the group.. in grabit

Doesn't go any farther.

[WinLinMac01]

You won't regret it, but UNISON is the way to go. Installed 10.5.1 apple leopard on my system again and using that to download everything. it is so reliable, all of the files are downloading into one. 56 files so far, does any one know how I have to download the rest of the files, how would I do so?

[Xxp/TuX]

Zephyroth:thanks! =D .You really did a great work...

You must wait a little bit more cause Zeph is still uploading the parts that are missing... I think that more 3/4 hours is necessary to upload all the other files... Still missing about 19 files from all 73 files.

[Rajmahal783]

Hey if you're trying to get it from newsgroups here is another way of doing it.

1.http://www.astinews.de/xtest-put in your email address for a free acount. (somebody already mention this in this forum earlier.)

2.Download NewsbinPro-The trial version-www.newsbin.com-insert the information from your email from astinews.
Your username, password, news group.(reader.astinews.de)-Check mark need password and username when installing NewsbinPro.

3. Once your in NewsbinPro, Go to this website-http://www.binsearch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images
10.5.2-AMD from Zeph will be the first on the list click on collections. And you will see up to date all the uploaded files that you can start to download. Click on inverse type .rar but uncheck the incomplete ones 28 and 29.

4. Then click on create NBZ and save to your desktop.

5. Go back to NewsbinPro-And on the menu part next to Save click on the Load NZB Button and open the file you saved on your desktop, and it will automatically start downloading the files part by part.

Thats it!

I am using this method too, but in linux I use klibido..the thing I want to add is that you can download about 12 parts and then
download stops..then you change your IP adress and you can continue downloading.. :)) I downloaded 46 parts or so by now...

[npanxx]

Is *part40.rar timing out around 25MB for anyone other than me? All the other parts have downloaded fine so far. I'm using Astinews, as recommended.

Thanks, especially to Zephyroth for making this release!

[Rajmahal783]

Hey napanxx I didn't have that problem via Astinews, try it again.

[Rajmahal783]

Hey rodjoo I don't have that problem at all with windows xp, I don't have to change my ip address at all.

[Rajmahal783]

Or vista for that matter.

[WinLinMac01]

Its not likely that 28 and 29 are complete, right? One time I did files in a .rar set that seemed incomplete but were actually complete. What do you think? Should we ask Zephyroth? His e-mail address is displayed on the newsgroup you know. :D

[Rajmahal783]

I'm thinking that just maybe it had slipped his mind that 28 and 29 are incomplete and he's just trying finish uploading all of them and then go back maybe...

[snuffy58]

ran into problems with grabit(probably my doing) but newsbin worked flawlessly just parts 28 29 and 56 are incomplete assuming they will be completed and added later?

[Rajmahal783]

Hey snuffy58 part 56 is complete arrording to this website, http://www.binsearch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

[WinLinMac01]

nice, thank you. part 56 for me seems incomplete, do I skip it for now and download again to retrieve the full file?

Rajmahal783:Hey snuffy58 part 56 is complete arrording to this website, http://www.binsearch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

[Rajmahal783]

Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

[WinLinMac01]

thats a really good link you gave to us. no need to configure usenet, works flawlessly, where did you find this? amazing, good one. Up to my 59th file, 58 and 57 are also available online, complete according to website.

[WinLinMac01]

I am using Unison for Mac. Simply clicked on Zephyroth's 2.71GB folder on the server, and initiated everything. files 28 and 29 I deleted for now whereas 59 I am still coming up for a confirmation that it is complete.

Rajmahal783:Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

[Jare]

.par?

What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

[WinLinMac01]

not sure, seems like you combine them with existing .rar files to get the complete part such as with files 28 and 29.

Jare:.par?

What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

[WinLinMac01]

here is the method I used. easy and simply:

for MAC

1. Download Unison (http://www.panic.com/unison/)
2. Go to "http://astinews.de/xtest" and sign up for a Free Account
3. Check your E-Mail
4. Install Unison and enter the Login information that you received to your E-Mail by Astinews
5. Search for the Newsgroup "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it
6. Search for the files by zephyroth and start downloading :)

Jare use this method for new account and downloading purposes:

1 - Download one program called GrabIt at "http://www.shemes.com"
2 - Go to "http://astinews.de/xtest" and put your e-mail there to receive an server username and pass to connect to usenet (it is a free account but will do the job)
3 - Check your e-mail and take note of your Reader, Username and Password that you received from astinews
4 - Install GrabIt and use the infos from astinews to start usenet
5 - Inside GrabIt, go to GrabIt Usenet Search and search for "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it to your list...
6 - After that, still in GrabIt go to Articles and at the end of the list you'll see the files to download... just right click them and "Grab Selected Articles"

If you have questions, go to mIRC... There you'll find a lot of good people that helped me with all this...
Rajmahal783:Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

[Jare]

Did it arleady. 5% done d/ling. Answer my .par question ;)

[WinLinMac01]

The first 34 files I see are 48MB. Is this how it should be? Please confirm, thanks.

[Rajmahal783]

Hey WinLinMac01 LOL I'm glad it's working out really well. I actually ran across it by accident I googled-alt.binaries.mac.cd-images and that what the first site to pop up, and then just did some research to figure out how to download it and of course this forum and I forget the person's name who first said about to set up a free account for newsgroup. But yea google is your friend! lol

[WinLinMac01]

LOL@Raj :D

@Jare, Parchive (or parity volume set archive) is a forward error correction-style system that can be applied to one or more files to allow recovery when data is lost or corrupted. When used with collections of files, some missing files can be regenerated.

[Jare]

Awesome. So I assume the following:

Download, Extract, Burn .iso, install? Is there a topic for what system it works best on?

[Rajmahal783]

Hey yea I have the samething, 48 mb.

[7th]

WinLinMac01:not sure, seems like you combine them with existing .rar files to get the complete part such as with files 28 and 29.

Jare:.par?

What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

I really think you won't need this file... when you have all the 73 files you'll be able to unrar and burn it...

[cgsheen]

Get everything Zephy uploads just in case.

[HCE]

Yes, but what's the deal with files 28 and 29? Also, 62 appears to have stopped at 46,68 MB...

[snuffy58]

yeah seems more and more are being completed looks to me like once all are completed and in one file then extract it and burn its making sense now .Great fast way to download it though.

[Rajmahal783]

Hey HCE I'm not sure about 28 and 29 but 62 is not fully finished that's why it stopped prob. You can see if you look here http://www.binsearch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

[Jare]

Download is fast. Every 5 minutes 10 files complete. Sicckkkk

[cgsheen]

You have to chill with newsgroups...
Sometimes it takes a while to fully "propagate". I'm surprised to see so many complete parts this early. If there are terminally broken parts, Zephy will upload those parts again AFTER it's all up and all the servers have had time to propagate all the pieces. Else he'll include enough .PAR files to repair the broken ones...

[Rajmahal783]

Lol yea it's really really good! Brilliant idea! Much much better then a torrent.

[viiComm]

28 and 29 files are incomplete!!! When will be fixed?
can't wait to try it. :)
nice work Zephyroth! Thanks a lot!

[HCE]

Actually, I believe there are 3 incomplete files in that upload: 28, 29, and 62.

[Puttabong]

HCE, only 28 and 29 are not completly uploaded yet. We'll have to wait for zephy to show up, then he'll fix it.

Don't worry! :D

About Usenet: yes, indeed, the speed is lovely. I'm downloading at a stable 1,5 mb/s :)

[subsonic]

1.5mb/s .. Poser ^^

Well, i wish i wouldn't sit in Spain right now. If i were in germany i could download with at least 650kb/s, here in spain i got only 300kb/s =(

[Puttabong]

subsonic, I'm in Germany, and I wish I was in Spain. :D

I love the sun! Got enough of Winter now... at least a little spring sun here! :)

[scottath]

Will someone make a torrent available once Zephyroth has uploaded it all to the news channel thingy?
Thanks

[subsonic]

Puttabong:subsonic, I'm in Germany, and I wish I was in Spain. :D

I love the sun! Got enough of Winter now... at least a little spring sun here! :)
I know you're in germany ;) You know what, i live here in spain most of the year, nontheless i'd like to get back to germany. The sun is great .. at least partly (if i look out of the window right in this moment we have grey clouds, no sun and it's damn cold. To be exact 10 C°) Anyways, life isn't what it was 5 years ago. And that's the main reason to move back ^^

[zephyroth]

Hi all.

I'm not at home right now so if some parts are incomplete I will reupload them later (today but later)

[Fesob]

zephyroth:(today but later)

Thank you so much for your work!!!
I'm loving this download method too! Way faster than torrents for me :)

[scottath]

Except it isn't free or helpful to me as this would be the only thing i will download from there! [which is why i'm waiting for the torrent]

Thanks for the great work Zephyroth!

[damnesiac]

Nothing is free, you still have to pay your internet bill :P

This is great, getting 600kb/s+ thanks for this.

Newsgroup are far more faster than torrents that's why I choose this method.

i just hope this one will work since 10.5.1 rev 1 didn't....

cheers

[mr.mario]

Hello

if someone can me help ask this about dispatch on [email protected]
thanks I am sorry for my English am from Poland
I used English Translator :)

[viiComm]

part 28, 29 are incomplete.
sorry for being impatient... can't wait, want to install... :)

[kourosh]

ran out of searches on grabit

any other good programs for windows?

i'm new to this whole newsgroup thing...

[Puttabong]

kuorosh, http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=88079&view=findpost&p=628446

[subsonic]

The search within GrabIt isn't necessary. Just visit this link, press "inverse type by rar", then press "create NZB" and save the file to your computer. Open it with GrabIt and you're good to go.

thanks, i'm using agent anyway, seems to be working

just provide an md5sum after so i can see if its downloaded right!

i'm off anyway...

[WinLinMac01]

@7th, I agree with you. This are people that are overheating the server, thus, causing the discussion forum site go down. I've waited 4 HOURS!! just to come back to this thread, because people are not reading the entire discussion.

Hey, why wasn't I told about Grabit's procedure (for nonsubscribers) in the beginning? I used newsrover after searching and playing around with other usenet clients. Ah well, at least I download all of the file in one hour excluding parts 28 & 29. LOL


Puttabong: the site is acting up again.

[WinLinMac01]

Rajmahal783:Hey if you're trying to get it from newsgroups here is another way of doing it.

4.. Go back to NewsbinPro-And on the menu part next to Save click on the Load NZB Button and open the file you saved on your desktop, and it will automatically start downloading the files part by part.

Thats it! WinLinMac01:I didn't use the Inverse method rather at the time I manually added the files as they were uploaded by Zephyroth. Does it really matter? Or should I download 3.37GB again?

I didn't use the Inverse method rather at the time I manually added the files as they were uploaded by Zephyroth. Does it really matter? Or should I download 3.37GB again? Someone please let me know. Thank you.

[subsonic]

Afaik the inverse method only select the not selected checkboxes ^^ Nothing to worry about.

[Fesob]

kourosh:just provide an md5sum after so i can see if its downloaded right!

Is it needed?!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i can get the iso form the 73 .rar files, the iso should already be correct... else i wouldn't be able to extract the iso from rar... or do i have to check md5 anyway to be sure it's correct?!

[WinLinMac01]

good to hear, thanks.

subsonic:Afaik the inverse method only select the not selected checkboxes ^^ Nothing to worry about.

[WinLinMac01]

I would rather wait for the fixed files of 28 29 to be uploaded then extract and make the .iso.

Regarding your question, You may be able to make an .iso with all 73 current files, but a corrupted version.

Please try at your earliest convenience :D. J.K. Great Job, getting ready to create torrent once fiels are available. Thanks.

zephyroth:Hi all.

I'm not at home right now so if some parts are incomplete I will reupload them later (today but later)

[Tankk]

Damn.... its will downloadin 6days at me!))

[GTOnizuka]

Fully Downloaded and tested. Parts 28 and 29 fully uploaded ;)

Nice work Zephyroth :)

[1207FX]

http://www.binsearch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images shows that 28 and 29 are complete however it seems that Zeph is uploading is new files "SUBJECT - "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.p01" yEnc (1/152)" is this a new image? I am certain when Zeph checks bak in he will elaborate.

[7eventh]

Uh ... I just finished downloading "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.part0xx.rar" (had some errors so I m reloading part 23,55 and 73 again).
What gets me a little confused now,is that binsearch now finds parts called "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.p0x" ...also uploaded by zephyroth ...
Did something went wrong with the first parts or are these the same files ... just with a different name (please say that it is this way... I don t wanna download this whole stuff again)

[Rajmahal783]

Hey zeph or anybody how imporant are these par files that you are adding? Are they necessary to download them?

[crawle]

10.5.2 just installed! Works great! We love you Zeph!

[Rajmahal783]

Hey crawle Congrats! What are your specs? Did you have to make any modifications? What options did you choose during installation?

[THeKiNG]

Someone please make things CLEAR!
After one hour of refresh, trying to add par's files(btw was 3 then 4 then 5...) I ended up downloading the hole parts again...
If I download all files again, do I need to use that par files, or this time they are correct?
I really don't understand why that damaged files was not upped in separate place..

[Rajmahal783]

Hey THeKing hate to break this to you but you didn't have to download everything again? All you had to do is use the orignal par file zeph put up the first one, download Quick par, and with all the files all in one folder. All the .rar's -73 of them and 1 par, run Quick Par to make sure all 73 files are good and that's it. From there you can extract and burn.

[Rajmahal783]

If everything checks out for you no damage files then don't worry about downloading the other .par files.

[crawle]

I just selected the newer ToH-Kernel, MBR-EFI bootloader, NVidia drivers and AC97-Audio. Install went fast (about 20min) and my specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
NVidia Geforce 6600GT
VIA Chipset
400GB ATA IDE
160GB ATA IDE
...

[zuz242]

im on astinews trial, downloading with newsbin (win) and parts 28 and 29 are still incomplete.
others seem to get them complete now, but refreshing (even restarting newsbin) still shows them as
incomplete :(
the .par files are incomplete as well.
so: is it me, astinews or something complete else?

[THeKiNG]

Easy to say...now is 8 par files(p.08 still incomplete...) Wonder how many will be...
BTW it is allready on bay...how when files are still uploading???

[viiComm]

WORKING OTB!!! YOU'RE THE MAN! THANKS!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))
Boot from dvd, installed without languages, frozen at the end of the install but pushing a reset, the system booted and everything is working like a charm!

How did you select these options during the install? The "Options" button for me seems to be greyed out for some reason.

EDIT: Figured it out, it's actually on the the next screen. It's the "customize" button i was looking for. I think everyone should go there and select all the options you want it was very easy.

[altair1979]

Ok noob question here:

I've installed Zeph's Leopard 10.5.1. I've had a lot of problems but I've managed to get everything to work just fine, OSX runs smoothly on my AMD 4200+, except for my MSI ATI x1650 512mb which doesn't work as well (mouse tears).

Would I benefit from this release? Is it worth installing? Will it solve my ATI problems???

[zuz242]

zuz242:im on astinews trial, downloading with newsbin (win) and parts 28 and 29 are still incomplete.
others seem to get them complete now, but refreshing (even restarting newsbin) still shows them as

the .par files are incomplete as well.
so: is it me, astinews or something complete else?
it was me / newsreader. i had to refetch all headers.
got everything, now im seeding the iso as well ;)

btw: leo is working "out of the box" for me ;)))

[VyperX]

Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD ready to download with torrent???

Will it work on my computer??
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767,

Outstanding work, grabbing this now :D

[7eventh]

Any idea on how to get the installation up and running with an S-ATA-DVD (Samsung S203B). Up to now, all I get is this (see attached image)

[viiComm]

I installed and have one big problem: can't mount usb drives.
How can i fix this? Is there any workaround for this problem?

My system:
AMD x64 2500+, 1gbyte ram, MSI Nforce motherboard, geforce 7600GT

Any help could be great...

[Rajmahal783]

Hey anybody know what command to use to show all your partitions in -s, the diskutil..something. It shows the identity of each drive. I installed 10.5.2 on a USB hardrive and I'm trying to get it to boot, any suggestions?

[SasedWasja]

finr

[Jare]

Anyone else notice the long wait time to boot the installer from -x? Tried to boot it regularly and got a no smoking sign (without the smoke) on the apple logo.

[WinLinMac01]

Finally the release has arrived. I think I was among the first to download and extract. DVD works fine, one interesting thing I noticed was that the instalallation was half way through, I moved my mouse cursor and the progress bar jumped towards near completion. Hopefully this is not an error. For some reason, after the installation I get an error message in regards to my system error.

@Puttabong, can you please do something about this discussion site. At times, it becomes "extremely" slow and remains inaccessible at time. Is there another alternative such as opening a new forum @ proboards.com? :D

Thank you very much Zephyroth.

[WinLinMac01]

Do I have to customize my instalallation? What if I just click install, any risks?
I'm attempting another install, what is really odd is the fact that when install is in progress at 11 minutes remaining my cursor dissapears and the progress bar does not move. If I move the mouse, the cursor reappears and the bar jumps to back to the current state. What is happening hear? Help please, thank you.

[Rajmahal783]

WinLinMac01 if you don't customize the installation you will be running the old kernel and no EFIA

[WinLinMac01]

How should I customize it then? What are the standard options?

I have an nvidia video card, chipset, ac'97 audio, do I select the whole thing?

[Jare]

I can open you guys a forum with ipb 2.x.x with my license if I can get staff. ;)

[Rajmahal783]

no no the type of video card you have the specific number and the same with the audio, select the new kernel 9.2.0 and EFI MBR Bootloader

[WinLinMac01]

I'll join. There is also something called proboards.com.

Jare:I can open you guys a forum with ipb 2.x.x with my license if I can get staff. ;)

how do you think I address the weird lag in my instalaltion? At 11mins, the progress bar freezes, if I move the mouse, it moves again? My HD activity shows that is is installaing.

Hey WinLan did it work ok installing Leopard on a SATA Hardrive

[braindead803]

Rajmahal783:Hey THeKing hate to break this to you but you didn't have to download everything again? All you had to do is use the orignal par file zeph put up the first one, download Quick par, and with all the files all in one folder. All the .rar's -73 of them and 1 par, run Quick Par to make sure all 73 files are good and that's it. From there you can extract and burn.

since i used grabit. and it extracted all the rar files into a folder with the iso does that mean all checks out for me? I am able to burn the dvd iso but i get stuck on the same screen as 7eventh as my system reboots. does anybody know why or what i need to do to change this? (right now i am downloading the torrent which will be done prolly in a few days to see if there was a problem within the downloads of the rar files from usenet)

Thanks for the release zephyroth.

[Jare]

Hey I hear Zephy forgot to put the medevil kext so you get a "waiting for root device" error. Where do I find it?

[WinLinMac01]

Still trying. Is there a known problem for SATA HDs in this release?

Rajmahal783:Hey WinLan did it work ok installing Leopard on a SATA Hardrive

[WinLinMac01]

Are any of you facing problems with the installation with SATA HDs??? What about the progress bar that freezes? Did any of you have you move the mouse cursor to see the progress bar moving again?

[WinLinMac01]

how do you enter in verbose mode? I just want to see if I get any "true" errors? Thanks.

[new2osx86]

to enter verbose mode during darwin boot press F8 and at "boot:" type -v then enter

[Jare]

-v or -f -v

[WinLinMac01]

HEY RAJ!!! IT WORKS, FINALLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR OPTIONS HELPED A LOT. KUDOS. I'M LOVIN' IT, LOL. :D keep up the great work Zephyroth.

[WinLinMac01]

thanks Jare:-v or -f -v Zephyroth said that our processors will finally be automatically detected. Whatever happened to that? Also why is my taskbar still transclucent? Any idea?

[WinLinMac01]

Quicktime and iLife support still show up on my Update List. Why?

[Jare]

I can't get it to boot. "Verifying DMI pool data..." I set the partition as active. And the DVD gives me "still waiting for root device" error. I need that medevil kext .. HELP?

[Fesob]

I've got all the .rar and extract the iso. Md5 is correct. Burned the dvd at the lowest speed.
I created the "unallocated" partition with diskpart in XP.
Then booted from dvd, -v, ereased Leopard partition with disk utility to Mac OS Extended, choose custom installation with no "check" sign in kernel drivers language, x11... just the files for the plain OS. Installation went fine without stop. Rebooted correctly.
Booting from HDD gives me "Chain booting error_" ("_" is blinking).

CPU: AMD 3500+ SSE2 only
Mobo: Asrock 939NF6G-VSTA (Bios 1.40)
HDD: IDE

I'm using Chain0 Method with XP, being the boot.ini correctly edited and XP the active partition.
Leopard as active partition won't solve the problem.
10.5.1 for AMD worked with this system (Replaced the original kernel with a sse2 kernel).

Maybe Darwin is missing.
Now i'm gonna try booting the dvd with F8 and then mach_kernel rd=disk*s* -v -legacy -x

[WinLinMac01]

Here are some of my screenshots. Working smoothly, just skeptic about the Updates that are available for download and translucent bar.

Just curious, I can't boot using GUID and the GUID EFI boot loader, I originally had a b0 error, so I made the partition active, rebooted with no b0 error, but instead it does nothing.
Does GUID not work or is it just my system?

Encountered my first problem. Restarted my computer for the first time, and boot loader did not automatically show up as Zephyroth previously reported that it would. Instead, now it stay at the Boot from CD prompt, and cannot access the partition. Now what? Partition is not bootable. This is really upsetting. I thought Zephyroth and the beta team addressed these issues before this release was officially released. Whats up with this now? Hello? Please respond, thank you.

[seren]

About those with "Still waiting for root device" Please verify you installed the Drivers for your chipset, video, LAN, audio, via the "Customize" Button Left of the "Install" button. If you are still getting this error. List the Drivers you installed, what drive your installing to the configuration of this drive (master/slave and channel) Also list your motherboard, video, and LAN. If possible please provide any screen shots. Im hoping we can get this all worked out without needing a patch.


I would also like to know if anyone else is having problems with Nforce LAN freezing the whole os .. As I am. Also cant get Toast to run and QE/CI is working ;( ...

Are you using MBR or GUID? I had a similar problem with GUID, MBR on the other hand is booting, but now I get half way through and I get a black window telling me to restart the computer....

I agree Seren. He kept asking when will it be released....when, when, when. Now it's released and seemingly not 100% tested and he's complaining again. Have patience dude. I even read somewhere on this thread that even the beta testers didn't get this release to test. It should have been released to them to test and if all was working then published. Even Apple has to fix errors. That why we are at release 10.5.2. So shut up, be greatful and instead of complaining about the problems find a solution and post it. Other wise if you want no problem installs...go buy a Mac. Geesh.

I am still downloading but wanted to thank Zeph and the Beta testers for all their hard work.

I am not another Megaargon for your information. I am not here to post such nonsense. I know who really did most of the work here.

Stealthmode...boot in verbose mode and see if you get a panic. F8 when you see the darwin boot loader and type -v and hit enter. Be quick when you 1st see darwin.

[WinLinMac01]

Studied the .iso carefully. I looked at the description of the option in the customize area, and there are a couple of typos for the bootloader. Can this be a sign that there may be other actual errors that are residing that need to be fixed? Is this considered the final release? Just a question of thought. "proud to be a beta tester, :D" not a biggie really, great efforts zephyroth and the beta team made. As always, thank you. =)

Hello all,

I try to install Leopard on this computer http://www.hp.com/workstations/pws/xw9300/xw9300.pdf. I cannot be more precise about specs !

With 10.5.2 DVD, in the Install process, I cannot find any of my Ultra Wide SCSI disks. When I go to "Disk utilities", I see nothing (No Ultra SCSI disks or DVD player).

Do I need to inject some exotic kext files ?

With the old 10.5.1 DVD, I get a freeze just after "dsmos: Starting..."

Thanx you all,

iero.

Does anyone know if 10.5.2 can be installed on a raid drive.

I see alot of nvdrivers installed
Is there a raid driver to control nvraid of the sata plug?

I see some people are installing it on sata drives.

[Ryoken]

AFAIK Apple cut off SCSI support at Intel Macs totally after 10.4.1 (my Adaptec Ultra2940U2W card was working only in Tiger 10.4.1 Hack). Did your SCSI controller was working previously or this is your first install?

[iero]

@ryoken : Thanx for your help.

It's the first install on this computer.

I have another one with SAS drives, it's the same problem.

Seems that everybody uses SATA or IDE ? Strange !

Thanx again for the info,

iero.

[zephyroth]

No RAID actually.

[Rajmahal783]

Has anybody installed 10.5.2 on a AMD Turion machine yet and gotten it to work? Well more importantly gotten it to boot?

[Ryoken]

2 iero
AFAIK, for MacOS X to work with SAS drive, you'll need Apple SAS RAID Card (or how is it called correctly, dunno much of this :) ), which bases at LSI Logic controller. According to specs I fount, your machine have PCI-X 133 controller. I doubt that Apple or controller maker have universal kexts for your hardware (some of kexts ARE PowerPC only for PowerMac's compatibility). That's it :). (All this is my IMHO, I'm not a guru in this).

[Rajmahal783]

Anybody have the problem when installing, and going into diskutil to partition your drive, the hard drives show up but no dvd's drives show up, like in 10.5.1?

[gaz919]

Is a NV raid driver very hard to add , because it needs to be installed first?

[Ryoken]

I can't see DVD drives in DiskUtility, but I'm never thought this is useful anyway. Mounted Install disk can be seen in Terminal. (sorry my English, not native language :). Feel free to correct plz :) )

[iero]

@Ryoken : I have a machine with a LSI chipset (LSI Logic® LSISAS1068E 8-port SAS Controller) for SAS : http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-12454-296719-307907-296721-3211286.html

But I cannot see SAS drives neither. i opened a thread about this here http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=309&page=1#Item_3 but SAS is quite recent and I think that I'm quite the only AMD user to try to put leopard on it...

Thanx,

Hi everyone, installation went fine, and I was able to boot into the operating system with the DVD left in. However, upon taking the DVD out, I restarted and I was unable to boot back into the operating system. I tried setting up installation with MBR the first attempt and GUID the second (with it's own designated bootloader for each install attempt). However, neither of them were able to boot. Instead, I was left with Boot from CD screen.
I tried making the partition bootable by following the directions I used for my previous installation (10.5.1), but that did not work. Instead, for GUID, after the Boot from CD screen came up, it felt as it was going to finally boot, however, it went into a blank screen and the system restarted.

I'm having the same issue. It seems the boot loader never installs.. Once I fix the boot problem, I am left with no boot loader... I was able to get into the OS once, and that was with the DVD in the drive and no video drivers installed. I then proceeded to install the graphics update but before I could fix anything the HUD telling me to reboot shows up an I had to do a hard reset thus starting my problems all over again....

ok so i reistalled without choosing audio drivers.
Then i used kext helper to easy install ac97 and applehda kexts.
still no sound or sound device recognized.
What am i doing wrong?

@Stealthmode, I fixed the boot problem. My solution was to name my volume in ONLY ONE word, and use MBR configuration instead of GUID. Booted without any problems. :) Hope this helps.

Zephyroth, you're my hero. :)

I search download "Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2" server on rapidshare.com or older.

[ryghar]

With this version can I update my system online with apple´s updates?

Thz!!

Thanks Zephy!!! Out of this world

[WinLinMac01]

Wait-a-sec are you trying to say that Marvin's utility automatically does the job for us? We can safely update out systems anytime we want? This is great then. Thx a lot if this is really the case. Out of this world. =)

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Fesob:
Is it possible to install without EFI or is it required?
Skipping EFI during install may cause the problems i'm having with Darwin?
Yep, EFI is needed, without it i get no darwin and i can boot only from the dvd.
Zephyroth 10.5.2 is now working for me :)

Thank you guys!!!

[bajanboy]

I have downloaded the 10.5.2 files (all 73) and heard that they were problems with files 28 and 29, can anyone tell me if these issues were resolved? the install seem to be working except for sound, seem like the AppleAzilia.kext and the IOHAudioFamily.kext were not installed properly or corrupted. Do I need to get the other two (28/29) files? Oh and I am still having problems getting to boot properly.

Thanks !

[zuz242]

these files (28+29) were just missing the first hours, now everything is fine :)
if unraring didn´t produce any errors, the iso should be ok.
problems with boot or install may still occur, of course.

check the wiki

Has this happened to anybody yet, I have a HP DV2415nr Laptop, 1.8 gig turion x2 processor, broadcom wireless, NVIDA Geforce GO 6150 Graphics. 150 gig SATA Hardrive, 80 gig Maxtor USB Harddrive (Leopard). Ok my question is I go through the installation, select custom, 9.2.0 kernel, MBR-EFI, Broadcom Drive. Deselect, languages and fonts. Installation goes fine till the very end at the point of "about a min", its a half a inch from finishing, but then everything stops. The installation bar, dvd, and harddrive. Mouse still moves but I can't do anything. Ok so I do a cold shutdown. And then restart, I boot from the USB Harddrive and the Bootloader comes up and starts to load up leopard, And it comes up and everything seems ok. My question is as in 10.5.1 by zeph it freezing at about a min to go was a known issue and the solution was to go back into the installer not changing anything and letting it install the missing files. I didn't do that in 10.5.2 since it loaded. Should I go back and do that? Thanks.

I can't boot the DVD :(
MD5 is right. Burn it on a DVD-RW. After loading mkext - restart.

Finally got the .iso via BT. Usenet didn't work for me. On my news server 7 of the parts had CRC errors and repairing them didn't work.

Anyway, I'm at work, but Zephy's new installer is a no-go on the 2 machines I've tried the new 10.5.2 for AMD. On both my laptop and on a 6100/405 AM2 machine here I can't even get to the installer. They both quit - booting off the DVD - with the famous "still waiting for root device" error.

I'll try my machine at home later, just for fun, but it looks like the original 10.5.1 + .kexts + 10.5.2 Update is what I'll have to stick with... Glad to hear it's working for others though!

[cgsheen]

althon:I can't boot the DVD :(
MD5 is right. Burn it on a DVD-RW. After loading mkext - restart. That's what was happening to me - only I had a bad .iso - MD5 wasn't right (I didn't check the MD5 until AFTER I burned an install DVD and it "looped" like that on me - two different machines!) Now that I have the .iso from BT and verified the MD5, burned slowly with Nero, the DVD works to start boot up...

[althon]

That is the problem. I have the right MD5, but no boot.

[Cooalis]

I've got the following problem: It installed about 1,5 hours and then suddenly my laptop powered off. After restarting OSX booted, but it stops at the grey screen with the apple logo. I installed using MBR-EFI and the new 9.2.0 Kernel. During installation I had the problem that it sometimes stopped and didn't go on until I hit a key or moved the mouse. The same problem now at the start: It shows me the apple screen and loads just when I press a key. I tried pressing a key for some minutes now, but it never went on booting. What's my mistake/problem?

My specs:
AMD Turion X2 SSE3
ATI Xpress 1100

Just started downloading the torrent.
Thank you Zeph, your creativity and hard work are greatly appreciated.

[Chagani]

I love this release! Everything worked OOTB! Thank you very much, Zeph!!! You are a star!

Only minor annonyance I had was with the Nforce drivers that refused to connect to a PPTP VPN (but no lan freezes). I had the same problem with a set of drivers I was experimenting with in Rev. 1 (check "Nforce LAN..." post on this forum) so I finally bit the bullet and bought a cheapy RTL8139 LAN card and ofcourse it works great!

The system even sleeps and resumes (mobo, display and HDD) perfect. Finally, I ran the latest Quicktime and iLIfe updates thru Software Update and didn't have to patch the CPUIDs with Marvin's Util... I guess thats due to PC_EFI working.

Thanks again Zeph. If you have a paypal account please let me know. I want to donate towards your effort so that you can keep supporting us AMD folks! :)

My DVD drive does not show up in the system profiler therefore when I put a cd in it does not mount. It worked in 10.5.1.

Hi I have the same config as yours.

Did leopard boot in native resolution and can you list what hardware is working for you, please?

Thanks!

Ok, I'm one step closer now. I now know what causes my problem.
When I boot in -v mode I get an error with firewire drivers and then "Still waiting for root device".
But I don't have Firewire. Here are my specs a bit more detailed:

CPU Type AMD Turion X2 Mobile , 1600 MHz
Motherboard Name FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO Pa1510 Series
Motherboard Chipset ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, AMD Hammer

Any solutions?

[althon]

After this ( what is on the picture ) my PC is restarting.
Any solutions? Please help!!!

P.S. I make this shot from VMware to show you the problem, but I am talking about for the PC.

Any solutions?My laptop is similar to yours and I get the same thing. It didn't work with 10.5.1 either though... I'm not very hopeful but if I stumble across anything that doesn't require re-building the .iso, I'll let you know. (there are some other hardware "issues" with my laptop that I think will keep OS X from working properly) OS X just doesn't work on all AMD hardware...

With some weeks of work I made it to have a nicely working Tiger, but Leopard doesn't work at all. But I'm hopeful that we'll find a solution.
I attached a pic of my errors. Maybe that will help.

[donyeo]

hello all, i have gotten the .iso working and OS X installed on a secondary disk. i want to thank zeph and everyone involved in getting this release out to the general public

my problem is that after installing i reboot into the DVD to access terminal to use fdisk in order to mark the partition active. after i enter f 2 it says partition disk2s2 permission denied i also try disk2s1 and disk2 and same thing. i am trying to dual boot with a 500 GB western digital SATA2 which has XP installed and a 200 GB SATA samsung which has the OS X installed. my further pc specs is as follows:

LANPARTY UT nForce4 Ultra-D
AMD Opteron 148 2.2 ghz single core S939
ATI 1800XL 256 MB
creative soundblaster extreme music

before install i selected the latest TOS kernel and the MBR bootloader

sorry if this is a horribly reposted question, thank you to anyone for their patience
