freshcuts: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?

Are you sure that the ac97 in your motherboard bios is enabled?

[costa rica 80]

thank you cooalis for the reply.
but i hope somebody will let us know if is going to work

Just got the 10.5.1 release to be stable yesterday, but just couldn't hold back from installing 10.5.2. Don't know if this was right, but I installed this directly over 10.5.1 w/ no formatting / erasing of the partition. It booted right up, no problem. Bootloader used "EasyBCD" - Very simple to setup. All previous settings still in place and all devices (except sound) working. Heck this update even fixed the cursor video distortion from 10.5.1 which I experienced. Thank you and nice work Zephyroth.

Zeph how can I incorporate Medvil kext for sata support. Also any other things I should do (EFI , NVInject). Machine I will be using this DVD on is below. I am not a Hack or Mac noob so do not worry about breaking it down into noob speak. Thanks.

P.S I will edit the DVD on a Mac if I need to.

[WinLinMac01]

The same thing happened to me (if you read the previous posts of mine). I simply moved the mouse and the progress bar moved to the present state. I don't think it is really something to worry about. The installation is not freezing, guranteed. Hope this helps. :-)

Rajmahal783: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.

[macprodan]

Thanks man. :)

[dred]

I have followed the post about SATA install and I still can't get past "can't find root device". I put on a IDE HDD booted with the install disk, went to the terminal and mad the SATA partition active. I installed the Leopard and on reboot it wouldn't boot into the SATA drive. Any suggestions?

motherboard - K9N Platnium
HDD - estern digital 500 GB

[macprodan]

Might be dumb but I cant seem to mount it read write. I am following this to the letter.


1. hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite
2. Download this zip ----> _http://rapidshare.com/files/92865467/Extensions.zip.html
3. Extract it in the Libary folder of the DVD.
4. Remove the Extensions.mkext file.
5. Add the kext you want in the Extensions folder.
6. Fix the permissions on the newly added kext.
7. Recreate the mkext file that way ----> kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"DVD"/mach_kernel -m /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions

Eject, then boot

[eard]

puttabong one question men :)
that Medevil kext is the kext that appear in insanelymac for recognize hd sata? I thought that the new 10.5.2 DVD had sata support :S or how is it? But if that's the case, i can't install tiger/leopard yet and i cant follow the how to in osx86 wiki, so from windows, how can i inject the kext? I read that from transmac but im not sure, what you recommend?
Tnx for readme :)
eard

[macprodan]

Done it.. Doh.. as homer would say... hehe

[zephyroth]

macprodan ----> the latest MeDevil's kext is already included in the release. Don't trust those who said that it's not.

You know why ? I'm using it ...

[flip360]

Well first of all i have to say ZEPHYROTH you are the man. Thanks for your hard work for doing us the amd users a BIG favor :)
All is working well, ToH 9.2.0, NvInject, Nforce5, all but the forcedeth and ALC883 kexts...for the first one i have a solution: Realtek 8139 network card :) and for the second one i think i installed the ALC883 codec from tiger, so all is well now and i am writing this from my amd leo !!! yeah. Again, Thanks Zephyroth hope you help us some more in the future :)

Could you upload your ALC883?,It is not fully working and I want to try that...

[zephyroth]

Yes, give us the link so I could add it in a future fix/update.

[dred]

Zephyroth I first just want to thank you for all your hard work.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do a new install on a SATA drive?

[macprodan]

Oh , O.K Thank. Zeph.. no need to mess with the DVD then.

[zephyroth]

yeaah that's why I removed it ...

And you didn't have to add the latest MeDevil's kext as it's already included. If it's not working try to replace it with the one from 10.5.1.

Create a folder named Extensions on your Desktop
Unpack the mkext in this folder
EDIT: mkextunpack -v -d /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/"YOUR ISO"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
Remove the MeDevil's kext
Replace with the one from 10.5.1
Fix the permissions

type

kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"Your ISO"/mach_kernel -m /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions.mkext /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions

and place the newly mkext in the ISO

Thnx

[serra]

Instalation hangs at 1 minute left and the bar stops. What's the problem?Should i reboot? I wait for 15 minutes and nothing.

[freshcuts]

@Zephyroth :thank you very much for this great release!
Excuse me for repeating my self but maybe you have an idea on what seems to be the problem with my sound.
I have no sound and the device is not recognized.
I have an asus a8n sli premium with alc850.
I tried installing with the ac97 kexts once and then with the azelia ones.
I dont have a clue on what to do.Everything else works great and the install is really easy and fast(30mins).
Thank you very much

[zephyroth]

I have ALC850 too and it works fine with AC97 driver ...

did you tried too fix the permissions ?

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

did you tried too add your dev-id in AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/Info.plist ?

[braindead803]

do i need to install efi with the 9.2.0 kernel. after my previous 5 installs i get the hanging _ cursor just like did with 10.5.1, what am i doing wrong. I formatted MBR. this is my install options as of sitting on my installer now:

ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, Nvidia 10.5.2 kexts, NVinject Go, Forcedeth driver, Broadcom Driver... I was wondering if i need efi? Or is there a way to get passed the flashing cursor

[macprodan]

I have a SSE3 capable X2 3800 Do I select TOH Kernel 9.2.0 or leave it unchecked.?

I have a 7800 GT 256mb Do I select NVInject 256 or nVidia 10.5.2 Kexts or Both.?

[freshcuts]

zephyroth:I have ALC850 too and it works fine with AC97 driver ...

thanks for replying!
i didnt try to fix the permissions.
I installed by ticking ac97 at the menu.
Since it didnt work i installed the ac97 kext of another user by using kext helper and then i restarted.
I thought that kext helper repairs permissions too..?
i didnt add my dev id on the kext.i thought its done automatically (lol)...
I checked my dev id on windows XP and is a bit weird...I dont see anywhere alc850 but i am sure that is the chipset i got.

[zephyroth]

@Macprodan

You can try the 9.2.0 Kernel, my cpu is SSE3 (Athlon X2 4200+) and it works.

You must select BOTH.

@braindead

If you selected a bootloader then EFI is already installed.
Did you installed Leo on a partition which already contains another OS ?

[braindead803]

@zephyroth

i whiped the whole hdd. so i could do a clean install of leopard. so i whiped out vista. and formatted to hfs+ journaled. this is the set up i have sitting on my screen tell me if its a go or no.

ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, NVinject Go, Forcedeth driver, Broadcom wireless Driver, efi v8 for MBR

[zephyroth]

Seems good.

My setup is ToH kernel 9.2, AC97 Audio Drivers, NForce 2/3/4/5, NVinject 640 + NVIDIA KEXTS (don't forget to check it too) + forcedeth + efi v8 mbr

[macprodan]

Looking, Good so far,

Selected: ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, NVinject 256, Forcedeth driver, SKGE, Broadcom wireless Driver, efi v8 for MBR

This seems to be the best hackintosh DVD ever made.

Got a Tiger Partition still Incase I ever need it, wont get rid of her for a while yet on the hack. The hack is mainly used by my parents as a Browsing computer and by me as a file server. :) Gotta keep them up to date.

[braindead803]

do i need to check the nvidia 10.5.2 kexts. last install i did it just left me with a hanging cursor. and the install was similar but had more drivers in stalled.

[zephyroth]

You MUST check BOTH NVIDIA KEXT AND NVINJECT

[braindead803]

ok i will install right now to see if any difference. what do i do if i get the hanging cursor again? because that is the only thing holding me back. and right when i booted the dvd again i went to disk utility and erased the harddrive and partitioned it again

[zephyroth]

I don't know ...
Maybe reinstall again without selecting any kernel so mach_kernel 9.0.0 SSE2/SSE3 will be installed.

[7eventh]

Ha ... finally ... got it up and running.
System is running fast and stable. Netsurf without freeze (as you can see).
Only 3 problems left (actually 2 of those are the same as under 10.5.1):

- No QE/CI with my Quadro FX 3400 :(
- Only one core recognized (I hope this is not the fix for the netsurf-freeze ... I hoped for a more elegant solution )
- Samsung S203B S-ATA DVD is not recognized :( (worked without problem under 10.5.1)

Any ideas on how to get my system really perfect ? ;)

(A8N5X,Opteron 165, 2GB, Quadro FX3400)

Ah, and BTW ... THANK YOUUUUUU ! ;)

[seren]

How did you get the forcedeth driver to be stable without running with cpus=1?

zephyroth:Seems good.

My setup is ToH kernel 9.2, AC97 Audio Drivers, NForce 2/3/4/5, NVinject 640 + NVIDIA KEXTS (don't forget to check it too) + forcedeth + efi v8 mbr

I upload this files (20,21,22,28 & 29 part rarfile) to megaupload. Ask me in IRC. ;)

[braindead803]

well im reinstalling now. if it doesn't work i will wipe the drive again and select no kernel so like u said will install. 9.0.0

[HCE]

Darn it... I feel as if 'm missing the party... Can someone confirm getting QE/CI working for nVidia 7600GS on an nForce4 platform? I have an ASUS7600GS (256MB) on an A8NSLI SE mobo, and I'm stuck on a light blue screen after install (nVidia drivers+nvinject 256)...

[cgsheen]

@zephyroth
Why can't I get a bootable disk out of the install using 9.2.0, GUID, & EFI? Do I HAVE to partition MBR? I've tried 4 times now with GUID and the install actually completes without stalls, I get the "big green check mark" & reboot but the Install drive won't boot (even though the Disk Utility says it is bootable...). fdisk doesn't work (doesn't even show the right partition info - Disk Utility does though). I missed something on how to make GUID partition 2 bootable, didn't I? Something stupidly simple?

I got over the light blue screen after restarting and boot with -x .... creating an account ... start again without any option.
But QE/CI stays a dream for me .. hope you have more luck ;o)

[donyeo]

o yes yes, i've got it installed on my PC, scratch my last post. posting this from OS X if someone could help me out in getting my 1800xl and creative soundblaster extreme music working that would be awesome. current specs are:

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

my previous problem was that i selected MBR on a guid partition.. dumb on my behalf thanks everyone!

[guliath]

guys i need some help, i boot from the dvd, but it never gets to the installation part, i've tried with -v but it didnt work anyways, it says something about the some drive,

disk1s2: unsupported format or something like that,
and it tries again and again, and then the pc turns off

i need some help please!!

[guliath]

it says

disk1s2: unsupported mode

it says failed to create /library/logs with error: read-only file system

[StealthMode]

zephyroth:You MUST check BOTH NVIDIA KEXT AND NVINJECT

Every time I installed with the new Nvidia kexts and nVinject I got a black HUD before I could finish booting saying to restart in 3 languages... I am confused..

[StealthMode]

Ok, so I was watching the logs as I am installing (MBR EFI) and it it says Unable to copy package source file /system/installation/packages/bootloader/fixmbr.pkg/contents/archive.bom to destination etc...

[WinLinMac01]

Unfortunately, MBR is the only way to go on my side.

@Zephyroth, I only installed the 9.2.0 kernal, do I have to install both kernals (9.2.0 and 9.1.0)?

Also, why am I not able to see my complete CPU info as stated that it will in this release? Please help me if I am doing anything wrong. Thank you very much Zephyroth. Your noticeable hard efforts have made me happier than ever before. Keep up your endeavors. =)

Did you get QE/CI "out of the box" or did you have to modify some kexts?

Use MBR, less stressful in terms of configuring. LOL

I missed something on how to make GUID partition 2 bootable, didn't I? Something stupidly simple?For me too!

I started over, re-partitioned MBR, used 9.2.0, EFI, nvidia, tried the audio .kexts, tried the ZyDas USB .kext, removed the languages...

The install completed without a hitch!
I even made it past "account creation" without a working LAN Adapter OR transfering an account from another install!
My 8600GTS - FULLY working OOTB!
No ALC880 audio. Loaded "beta4some861_880Installer" - sound WORKS!
No USB Wireless (Airlink101 AWLL3026 - uses the ZyDas 1211). Used the AWLL3026 10.4.x Installer - Wireless LAN WORKS!

( OK, I admit it: I was a little bummed & frustrated while I was trying GUID... I even muttered... But now - with MBR EFI - I have to admit: THAT WAS THE EASIEST OSX INSTALL EVER! )

I still need to install Apps. I hope Toast will work again - like it did in 10.5.1 (and Time Machine too...) So, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed...

Hey Zephy! DUDE!
seriously...
dude!

[WinLinMac01]

@cgsheen, are you able to see an option for making the menu bar translucent or not? Last question: I was forced to name my volume with only one word. However, in the O/S environment, I changed the name and put it back to Macintosh HD. Was this a safe thing I did?

I'm seeding at 70kbps! Be glad I have another system right next to my "m"ac. :-)

Yep out of the box, no mods

I am reinstalling with MBR now, and trying the RT73 driver for my USB adapter...searching for an ALC882 audio driver too....

The anticipation of getting this working is killing me ....

[WinLinMac01]

Is it safe to rename my HD volume after I am done with the installation?

I heard that when installing Leopard, it is always safe to name it one word.

I renamed my volume 2 words, "Macintosh HD" after the installation, or else if I did during the installation, my Hard Disk would not boot, and instead will stay at a blinking cursor before booting.

Is it safe what I did even though I changed the info after the installation?

Lets me know, thanks. =)

[eaglepride605]

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I was able to install it using 9.1 kernel and 9.2 kernel, on mdr partition and the install working perfect everything is good and it loads fine but then the screen goes blue for a secound then black and all i have is a black screen with a mouse cursor, which i can move but thats it, how do i fix this,
thanks for any and all help

[WinLinMac01]

Do you have to install both 9.1 and 9.2 kernals? What happens if we only install the 9.2 kernal?

[StealthMode]

Ok,I got it working finally!!!!!! MBR EFI, 9.2.0 kernel, all drivers installed for my system except the new updated nvidia kext package (wouldn't let me boot with it) Now I need to get my video card working..... 6800GS

[WinLinMac01]

Congratulations thus far. Video card should work though. Did you have to install the 9.1 kernal as well? what happens if you don't install that in addition to the 9.2 kernal?

I was using the 9.2.0 kernel with the MBR EFI BootLoader. My problem now is I installed the Gaphics update and applied the patcher but I still get that black reboot your computer screen when i try to boot into Leo....

[WinLinMac01]

Oh, so did you select the 9.1.0 kernal as well to install on your system. Or 9.2.0 kernal only?

[WinLinMac01]

Is it true that you are required to install both? If so, what are the advantages if there are any? =)

[megaargon1]

Whew...install went on without any problems. Thank you so much Zeph. I was partying too much until I nearly crashed my other system, Windows Vista. very happy for this release and I remain optimistic throughout its lifespan. Love everything! I read what other people commented about me, don't really mind, since I know, I was too anxious for this update. We all have our different moods. I was feeling way overexcited. Anyway, back to work, and great that I have cherished this long-awaiting this release throughout the day.

[WinLinMac01]

Glad to hear everything is working for you and met your expectations megaargon!!! now please be considerate and help others that may be having problems with their installation since your experience I would say was perfect. I know you have patiently waited for the release and thank you for being so! We thought you went to Linux for some comfort or you were not so happy with the progress of this release timeframe, LOL, just kidding. Enjoy the release and don't hesitate to post any issues.

We will be more than happy to hear from you in the long run. Remember this is a family, a community for all that is are AMD-types. Let's all sustain positive relationships with one another as acquaintances and remain as a whole, and keep our ears and eyes open for Zephyroth, God of the AMD MAC.

WinLinMac01:Glad to hear everything is working for you and met your expectations megaargon!!! now please be considerate and help others that may be having problems with their installation since your experience I would say was perfect. I know you have patiently waited for the release and thank you for being so! We thought you went to Linux for some comfort or you were not so happy with the progress of this release timeframe, LOL, just kidding. Enjoy the release and don't hesitate to post any issues.

We will be more than happy to hear from you in the long run. Remember this is a family, a community for all that is are AMD-types. Let's all sustain positive relationships with one another as acquaintances and remain as a whole, and keep our ears and eyes open for Zephyroth, God of the AMD MAC.

=)

megaargon:Whew...install went on without any problems. Thank you so much Zeph. I was partying too much until I nearly crashed my other system, Windows Vista. very happy for this release and I remain optimistic throughout its lifespan. Love everything! I read what other people commented about me, don't really mind, since I know, I was too anxious for this update. We all have our different moods. I was feeling way overexcited. Anyway, back to work, and great that I have cherished this long-awaiting this release throughout the day.

[StealthMode]

Ok, got my 6800GS fully working. I installed the latest NVinject, then I proceeded to install Zephs Universal NVidia Installer, clicked only the new kexts, not the NVinject in the installer (note - I installed the latest NVinject already via terminal) then when it was all installed I went in the extensions folder added my dev id to the info.plist files, repaired permissions etc.. rebooted, applied the cpuid-graphics patcher, rebooted and boom! Everything works!!!

[gaz919]

Ok I just finished installing and my testing.

conclusion was I couldn't boot from guid partition because the first disk always read rdisk0s2
And sofar The only way to make the first partition read as rdisk0s1 was to use mbr. at least It still has efi installed.

Maybe somebody can work out the guid install and post it.

I also noticed that during -s when booting from disk you couldn't use sudo, su or passwd .

but i found a NEAT trick, as the install on disk is in its last minute get ready for the countdown to off, as it counts down click the utilities and terminal. an now you can do you fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 ........... and set the boot partition as active.

I also tried the AppleUpdateDone touch, but it didn't seem to work, as I still had to passwd change and su.

one major flaw is my 3800x2 only has one core in system view, im not sure if it's the 9.2 or just a flag for stability, but I think when I workout where the cpu=1 is hiding it will go back to normal.

Also Need another few fixes will prob try to load with -s on first boot next time and see if I can get around the passwd setting, and remain as root, using the TOUCH .......AppleUpdateDone.

So good luck im sure in mbr mode most should have no troubles.

If the mod could start a thread about using guid partitioning and make it a sticky we may work it out faster. It seems to have worked for some.

[cgsheen]

WinLinMac01:@cgsheen, are you able to see an option for making the menu bar translucent or not? Last question: I was forced to name my volume with only one word. However, in the O/S environment, I changed the name and put it back to Macintosh HD. Was this a safe thing I did?Ya, the "check box" for "Translucent Menu Bar" is there in the "Desktop & Screen Saver" options menu in System Preferences.

I don't know how you could use both the 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 kernels... That's the guts of the whole system - everything else is built on that. You choose one of the kernels (NOT choosing 9.1 or 9.2 loads the 9.0.0 SSE2/SSE3 kernel...)

I don't know about re-naming the partition. Mine are always short and simple...

EDIT:
I've got this working well on my "2nd Zephyroth" machine - still using an external HD - specs:

Hello to all :)
I used this link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520&hl=ALC883 to instal the alc883 codec on zephyroth`s 10.5.2 release and i have audio output so far...Everything else is working great and i must say again, ZEPHYROTH THANKS MAN!!!!

[zephyroth]

Check the wiki .

[JoeTheWise]

I have installed Zephiroth 10.5.2 yesterday evening, all went well just OOTB, except for some little issue:

- I had to replace graphics kext with the ones I backed up from 10.5.1 because of some graphics artifacts on 8800GT 512MB, now System Profiler reports 771MB video RAM as in 10.5.1 but everything works very well now. The only edit I made in that kexts was adding the values for 512MB in NVinject.kext manually (it is the 0.2.1 version of NVinject)

- System Profiler reports only one core (like I am using cpus=1 flag at boot), but the system seems more responsive, like when I was using two cores without LAN on 10.5.1... need to investigate more on this...

- I also migrated my settings and apps from the previus install because now I have installed on my SATA drive without deleting the old installation on my PATA

My specs:
OS X: Leopard 10.5.2 R1 by Zephyroth
Board: ASUS A8N SLI
Memory: 2GB Kingston HyperX (4x512)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

I checked for that option but that was no where to be found. I did hear people not having the option. If I don't have that option I don't think other users have at all either because Zephyroth made the image only once. Is there any reason why I don't that checkbox? Attached with this post is an image of how it looks. Thanks. =)

Does anybody know if MacOSX Leopard 10.5.2 support SLI Graphics, (2 video cards bridged)??? I would love to enable that feature. Thanks.

For GUID do this:

How to: Fix the GUID bootloader (Blinking cursor)
There's an issue with the script that installs the GUID bootloader.

Easy to fix :

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly.

gaz919:Ok I just finished installing and my testing.

So good luck im sure in mbr mode most should have no troubles.

Hai pal how did you manage to copy extension folder into system - library of your mounted iso?
Leopard keep telling me there isn t enough free space to copy extension but it's only 33mb.. please help

macprodan:Might be dumb but I cant seem to mount it read write. I am following this to the letter.


1. hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite
2. Download this zip ----> _http://rapidshare.com/files/92865467/Extensions.zip.html
3. Extract it in the Libary folder of the DVD.
4. Remove the Extensions.mkext file.
5. Add the kext you want in the Extensions folder.
6. Fix the permissions on the newly added kext.
7. Recreate the mkext file that way ----> kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"DVD"/mach_kernel -m /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions

Eject, then boot

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly.


does not work for me. :(

type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

say no such device

[macprodan]

Ill Try MBR again.

[zephyroth]

... Did you type rdiskXsY or as an example rdisk0s2 ?

[macprodan]

I types rdisk0s1

[macprodan]

it is a disk formatted as GUID single partition

[eddie11c]

if its GUID my bet is its rdisk0s2, as the 1st partition is the GUID table.

[macprodan]

by the way, the install has never finshed for me, I just hoped it had done all it needed to do. I formatted as all Zeros and tryd both MBR and GUID.. Im stuck and ready to pull my hair out.

[zephyroth]

OK rdisk0s1 is dedicated to GUID partition table.
The first usable partition to install Leopard (with GUID) is rdisk0s2 (so this is your partition).

Retry and type rdisk0s2 instead of rdisk0s1

First, all thanks to zephyroth for giving us amd users a chance.

Okay, just got finished reading through all twenty bloody six pages, and am downloading off of my at&t usenet account at a steady 134 kb on my slow dsl connection (should be done in 8 1/2 hours). I am wondering if that problem of a few rars not being complete is over with, and also I am downloading 10 files which are named differently than the other 73 files. Check here- http://www.binsearch.info/?b=Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI&g=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images&p=zephyroth-osx86%40hotmail.fr&max=250 to see what I am talking about. Can someone explain this to me? Are those top ten files rars?

Also I read on a few pages before that this release includes the latest medevil kexts. My history is that I tried to install tubgirl months ago, but it couldn't get past the "creating partition map" when trying to format. Same problem with zephyroth 10.5.1. I installed the latest medevil kexts on that 10.5.1 disc, but got the "waiting for root device" error (so I am really hoping these kexts will work this time around). I am wondering if the problem of not being able to format my drive can be fixed with the latest medevil kext that is included in this release, or is my problem deeper than that? Anyone else ever heard of the problem of not formatting? After all my searching, I only met one guy at insanelymac with this problem.

nope, b0 error. Command .5 did not do anything, said disk alignment error

[macprodan]

I can type those commands. Thank You. I have been using Hackintoshes from day 1 mate. I got my MacBook Pro that just works, But I would like to get a totally uptodate Hack for Me and the family to use. OK

[eddie11c]

MBR is the easier install, i think the script for it is working properly.

[pαuℓzurrr.]

Anyone has been able to fix the Still waiting for root device error? I've read somewhere i should try ide, but i don't have ide on my motherboard :(
I know the kext works with the DVD because i got it working 2/3 times myself with my own 10.5.1 DVD with the kext injected into the DVD, but i cant remember what 'special' thing i did to get it past the error, hope there is a other solution :)

[cgsheen]

macprodan:AnyThing I can Do, Does MBR work any better for other Users, which group has had the most success ?YAAA! I fought with a GUID + EFI install for a couple of hours, then re-partitioned MBR + EFI and stinking 10.5.2 installed without a single hitch. Even my 8600GTS was fully supported ootb! I even made it through "account creation" without a working LAN Adapter. The only things I had to do after the install were: ALC880 (which I always have to do) and I'm now using a USB wireless LAN adapter (which I knew I'd have to install the software for...)

Once I switched to MBR, it was the easiest install EVER...

[macprodan]

Working now :) I typed the commands again. I did not type them wrong last time, as I got error messages not related to them being inputed wrong. Mmmmm strange.


Thats a Lesson to everyone, Try and Try and Try again.. must have done about 12 installs at least. Thank for you patience Guys and Gals. I am gonna set up the Account now. I will report back how it goes.

[macprodan]

100% Working. :) Thanks Dudes.

[eddie11c]

Grats macprodan! glad to hear you were able to get it working.

[zephyroth]

Et voilà ! Patience is a virtue ... yeah that's true ... :-)))

[Xxp/TuX]

Sure it is! lol...

[macprodan]

Plus I learnt some new commands to add to YoJimbo archive. But most Important of all I wont have people nagging to use my MBP.

[Puttabong]

Have fun, macprodan :)

Best Wishes

[freshcuts]

ok so i tried every audio driver option there was in differrent fresh installs and none worked.
I still dont have sound on my asus a8nsli premium.
Does any one have the same mobo with working sound?
thanks

[Xxp/TuX]

What is your "sound card"?.

[freshcuts]

realtec alc850

[Xxp/TuX]

Hmmmm...No luck for that sound card. A friend told me that editing the AppleAC97Audio it colud work...Did you try this?.

[optmsprim2]

After getting over some initial bouts of stupidity i found that this release (from th tpb iso) works on my system OOTB completely. installed on a separate SATA HD with a freshly formatted single GUID partition and installed GUID EFI v8. the only weird issue is with memory and CPU id. system info IDs the processor correctly but lists only one core, although activity monitor does show two separate and independently operating windows for cpu activity. also my ram is listed at 667 MHz in sysinfo and about this mac. while i would love that my ram is most assuredly maxed out at 400 MHz. only other quirk is having to change my speaker setup to 2ch from 6ch in Audio MIDI setup.

specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+
MOBO: MSI K8N Neo-4f (Nforce4 chipset/LAN)
Audio: Onboard Realtek ALC850 (uses AC'97 from install options)
Ram: 2 GB 400 MHz 3-3-3-8 Corsair
HD: 1x160 GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA (Zephyroth 10.5.2)
1x160 GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA (Ubuntu 7.10, OSX can't mount this HD)
1x160 GB WD IDE HD (Vista)
1x500 GR WD USB HD (storage)
GFX: evga Geforce 8800 GTS 320 MB Superclocked
Optical: 1x LG 16x DVD-R/RW+- (can't remember model)
1x Pioneer 111D 16x DVD-R/RW+-
Display: 19" X2gen LCD monitor (VGA connection, ID as display)
22" Viewsonic VX2235m (DVI connection, correct ID in OSX)
Dual screen, Res Change, QE/CI all work

Options on install: 10.5.2 Nvidia Kexts, Nvinject 320 MB, Medevil nForce kexts, forcedeth LAN driver, AC97 audio, EFI_v8 GUID

thanks again zeph for this awesome release and support and everyone else too for being so helpful!

rock on

[freshcuts]

thanks for your reply!i didnt try to edit bcase i dont really know how to do it...

[optmsprim2]

freshcuts, i used to think sound didn't work on mine because it was set to 6ch in the Audio MIDI setup in utilities and when i would play something sometimes it would play and sometimes it wouldn't because it seemed to send the audio to the random channels that I didn't actually have. so if you haven't looked at that you may want to check it out. hope you get it working

[dred]

Okay I finally got it installed on IDE, I was never able to get SATA to work after restart with hitting F8 and then typing “mach_kernel rd=disk*s* -v”. I will have to go and try the boot loader fix on page 25 for GUI. My problem now is I have no LAN. I have Nforce 590 (MSI K9N Diamond board) I tried the Nforce drivers and I tried the south bridge via drivers along with the Forcdepth drivers. My LAN worked on 10.5.1 so did I do something wrong? Is there a way to copy the files from the 10.5.1 and use them on 10.5.2?

Thanks for the help

thanks for yor interest. The problem is that in midi setup there is no device
edit:i see we have the same audio device.how come yours work and not mine?
Does the mobo make a difference?

[bajanboy]

I have an Asus MB though not the same model and have always had problems with sound after an install, there is what works for me, I simply replace the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext with the one from tiger, or search online for an older ver. than what is included with leopard. Now I am not saying that this will fix you problem because your issues could be more than that but this is what works for.

They are on-line tutorials on how to replace kexts, let me know how it works out.

can you please send me the kext u used so maybe i could try to replace mine.
Thanks
edit i attached an image of my setup:

[macprodan]

I have that motherboard and the sound worked out the box with the AC97 driver selected during install. Try putting the DVD in and using iVisible or pathfinder to show hidden files then run the ac97 installer package.

[freshcuts]

bajanboy:I am in the at work right now but will when I get home later today, in the mean time check some of the discussion forums like insainlymac you may get lucky. macprodan:
ok thanks.I have read all related threads in insanelymac.

I am going to try that,thank you

[Xxp/TuX]

Try editing it...As before,for some people it worked...

[freshcuts]

Xxp/TuX:Try editing it...As before,for some people it worked...
you mean edit the kext?
what should i change?

For example,check (go to):

---> chmod 644 Info.plist
---> nano Info.plist
Look for some Id device 0x0850XXX.If is not,add this string...

My dev id is 0x005910de. If it can help.

[RLembke]

Thought I'd put my trials and success in

DLed from the usenet groups.

First install - missed the customize options - didn't want to boot

Second install - Checked appropriate options (New Kernel, VIA drivers, nVidia installer, GUID bootloader) - could never get past the HFS+ partition error. Tried all the fdisk stuff but no joy

Third install - Checked appropriate options same as above but with older kernel and MBR bootloader - booted right up. nVidia didn't want to work so I installed Zeph's installer from the wiki post-install and it took this time. Onboard LAN not working but Linksys USB Ethernet adapter working great. Onboard AC97 working. iLife/Office 08 working great after Marvin's Utility run (iPhoto "failed to load" crashes before running Marvin's Util).

Thanks Zeph! You da man!

My dev id is 0x005910de. If it can help.
as you can see in the new pic the mentioned id is included in the kext...

[zephyroth]

Yes I know Freshcuts. But I said that only for you to add your dev id in this kext and test if it works.

[Ath]

Hmm...Freshcuts what is your bios version (number)? And what devices you have enabled in onboard devices section?

[freshcuts]

Ath:Hmm...Freshcuts what is your bios version (number)? And what devices you have enabled in onboard devices section?
my bios is the latest 1303 audio:Realtek ACL850 codec
the devices i have enabled are: nvraid,audio,nvidia network. EDIT:check pic

@Zephyroth you are right i didnt understand what you said before.
So i have to go to windows device manager etc to get the dev id?
Or is it possible to get it from some one who has the same audio chip?

thanks

EDIT: i found this"ac97: codec id 0x414c4790 (Avance Logic ALC850 rev 0) " here: "http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-08/1515.html"
Can it be used in my case?

Time ago I downloaded Zephyroth's 10.5.1 for AMD, and it didn't work, I didn't even see the installer.... I still have hope that I will have mac on my PC.... do you think Zephyroth's 10.5.2 will work on my computer?

I was able to finally boot into leopard by booting thru "-x" safe mode, but only that way, how do I configure it to boot with out having to use safe mode

[DieForSomething]

Ok, this is how far I've got.

I have an Olidata Stainer 3000 Notebook with:
CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50
RAM: 2GB
Graphics: Radeon Xpress 1100
Chipset: ATI South Bridge 400
HDD: WDC WD1200BEVS-0 (SATA)

Installed using MBR-Partition Scheme and MBR-Fix + 9.20 Kernel (shows just 1 kernel in system profiler...). Got gray screen of death at first boot. Then on second boot using "-v" parm and it didn't crash. Got native resolution (1280x800) working using Callisto driver beta 3 (but no QE/CI, of course). My HAMA Wireless USB works using RT73 drivers.

In the logs there are many "_CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35" messages and the boot progess is quite long, because at the end of loading all drivers it just seems to sleep and then it shows "IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out" warning.

And although sound was working with Kalyway 10.4.10 AMD, it doesn't work with this Leopard release. Still trying to locate the right kernel extension for that IntelHDA driver.

lshw output on linux for that soundcard show's this:
*-multimedia
description: Audio device
product: SB450 HDA Audio
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 14.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2

configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=64 module=snd_hda_intel

Anyway thanks zephyroth for the great work. Including those VIAATA/ATI SB kexts on the DVD made it easy to install this on my AMD/ATI-Notebook.

[Luc101]

Zephiroth, I just have a word for you: WOW!

Everything works smoothly, including Toast Titanium 7.2
I've tried just one game, Prey, and it has no audio (I've used the AC97 driver) but I can live with it.

Thank you, and keep up the wonderful work.

[JoeTheWise]

I investigated more on one of the issues i reported in my previuosly msg, I don't know why but System Profiler reports only one core (my CPU is an AMD X2 4200+) but Activity Monitor shows two cores working so I think it's only a bug in the program that try to identify the CPU.

I will investigate more on the GPU issue now, because I noticed that it's not related to NVinject.kext, if I copy only that one from my previuosly installation I still have a lot of graphics artifacts and no CI/QE, if I copy all the old kext related to graphics (Geforce.kext and all the others) everything works fine exept the graphic memory size reported by System profiler (771MB and not 512MB) ...

Great work Zephyroth with this release!!

Hola, me descargue la imagen de Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 y no me reconoce el disco duro de mi portatil, cuando quise cargar los kexts, no se pudo porque no existe la carpeta Extensions en /System/Library/Extensions no such file or directory, help me please.

Could you speak only English ?

It's better so everyone here can understand what's your problem !

[prudenth]

Fractal talks about the kext directory , he don't found it . the new release don't recognize the disk in his laptop.

[VyperX]

Zephyroth:
fractal is saying that he downloaded your 10.5.2 and thait doesnt recognize his external hard drive, that it doesn't exist the folder Extension in /System/Library/Extensions.

Zephyroth, do you think 10.5.2 for AMD will work on my computer:

[delian7]

Hi,

finaly I have gotten myself a copy of the new 10.5.2 Zephyroth. Although I could not boot it to the installer (couldn't install it yet). When I put the DVD in it says to start up from the dvd press any key, or press f8 for start up options. Shouldn't this say to install MAC OS X not start up from DVD?

So I press any key and it goes into the nice apple bootscreen, but after 10-20 seconds it displays a black X in a circle in the center of the screen. So no luck, i tried booting with -x (safemode) but I get an error message:
EBIOS read error: Device timeout
Block 7110492 Sectors 64

Then after the error message, it does the same thing (goes into the apple bootscreen, but after 10-20 seconds it displays a black X in a circle in the center of the screen). So no luck. I am trying to install this on an IDE hard drive.

I was able to install Zephyroth 10.5.1 just fine although no sound, so I shouldn't have any problems (or so I thought). Do I have to install Leopord (10.5.1) first? I am just trying this on a formatted secondary hard drive.

Because i am still new to this I can't tell you all that much about my machine (specifications), but I can give you my pc's HP support webpage:

Please Help :)
Thanks and great job Zephyroth for finally releasing this (even though I have problems, I am sure it'll be great).

darwin loading bla bla loading extension.mkext from system/library/ and then i read that the AppleNforceATA found 1 device, in that moment i was happy :) mmm i also watch an error when the dvd try to load the driver of my wifi card mmm
then the setup stop in mdns responder but i let the installation run and then appear the blue screen and the mouse cursor, i select the language and all but when i open disk utility it doesn't show my hd yet :(
some help?

Hi Guys,

I also posted this to InsanelyMac forums.

Here is my problem:
I'm trying to install on a Shuttle SN85V30
Chipset: Nvidia nForce3 250 Single Chip for AMD AthlonTM 64 CPU
CPU: Sempron 3100+ Palermo (has SSE3)
2Go RAM (DDR 333MHz)
HD: 200Go Western Digital SATA
Video Card: eVGA NVidia GeForce 6200 LE

I start booting with the DVD, type F8 and -v -x to run in verbose + safe mode and i get a kernel panic exactly like this one:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=630228

Any idea what is going on with my configuration or with the boot CD? Any chance I can get it to work without changing the Video card and/or switching to IDE hard drive?


Thanks.

[cgsheen]

Leviathan:WOW thx thx thx for the great release

It's probably a little more useful if you list the actual onboard sound chip/codec - same with the onboard networking adapter. Or provide a link... Here's what I generally do:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131163
(newegg.com has an excellent selection and gives all kinds of info - especially on MB products.)

They show your onboard sound is: ADI AD1988b

I think I've seen references to that on insanelymac.com & someone here probably has some info about it...
They don't list the LAN chip(s) (I think your MB has 2...) but they DO have a link to the manufacturer:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=M2N32-SLI%20Premium%20Vista%20Edition

where, if you still can't find the exact specs, you can usually download the Users Manual...

In the English version - on page 2-4 - it shows your networking adapters as:

2x Marvell 88E1116 gigabit LAN adapter

Again, someone here ( or at insanelymac ) will probably have more information on the Marvell chipsets.

(that wasn't too hard for me to find - still, it would have been much simpler if you had gotten that info out of your users manual in the first place. try to make it easy for people to help ;-) ... )

[cgsheen]

freshcuts:I tried everything and still no sound on my alc850.I don't get it. Our ALC850 was supported natively by 10.5.1 - I don't know why it wouldn't be in 10.5.2...

( that's the sound codec used on my son's MB on our very first Zephyroth install. I haven't tried 10.5.2 on his machine - it's working perfectly for him & I really don't want to mess with it... )

[mdudlik]

So, I am having an issue w/ the 10.5.2 cd, where it either boots to the apple logo and gives me a "you must restart" error message, or it just reboots, or it gives me a kernel panic for 9.0.0.

I had the -x safe boot problem w/ the 10.5.1 CD, but it installed fine.

Is there a way to set the kernel to boot with?

I successfuly installed AMD 10.5.2 on a SATA disk but with some problems.

1) Audio doesn't work. No built-in audio it says.
2) Network doesn't work. It says the cable is not connected. I selected forcedeth during installation.

Other than these it looks okay.

Any suggestions? Thanks

HOW DO U USE NEWSLEACHER?

[cgsheen]

Skyper:HOW DO U USE NEWSLEACHER?Seriously dude... Do yourself a favor (& us too) and just ride the torrent. Go outside and play for a day or two...

( oh, do you remember how to UNDO the "Caps Lock" on your keyboard? )

[Skyper]

Excuse me , but its not me thats making it so complicated and im sure that there are hundreds of ways out there that you could have used to make a it a little bit easier. Im not one of those people that are going to download for 1 week if there are easier ways.

Skyper-

If you are so in a hurry, go to your local Apple Store and buy a Mac... You'll get it immediately and won't have to wait until that stupid torrent download is complete...

Alright anyway i gave up so whats the point really.No point. Have a great day.

Fastest way is to subscribe EasyNews for 9 bucks a month and download the files as fast as your bandwidth can get. In my case I was able to download in 10 minutes. If you download fast, then I suggest you go with easynews or such sites.

Please excuse me guys, if this was already mentioned here, but I can't read 30 pages at once ;-)
I found following "bugs":

- Some language files are missing for new features like list stacks. I've got the german languagepacks installed, but on lists it's following shown:

OPTIONS
OPEN_IN_FINDER

(looks a little bit like variable-placeholders)

The second thing I was wondering about is, that in System Config "Time Machine" you can't hide the time machine icon in the menubar. Mh.. !? For non-time machine users not very cool ... ;-)

Zeph, you made a great release, by the way, thank you!

@timeflux
If he hasn't found and read the MULTITUDE of posts on how to get 10.5.2 via USENET already... ALL the information is already here man...

[freshcuts]

cgsheen: freshcuts:I tried everything and still no sound on my alc850.I don't get it. Our ALC850 was supported natively by 10.5.1 - I don't know why it wouldn't be in 10.5.2...

( that's the sound codec used on my son's MB on our very first Zephyroth install. I haven't tried 10.5.2 on his machine - it's working perfectly for him & I really don't want to mess with it... )
So you are telling me that on 10.5.1 the sound works on alc 850?

Look for the "Hardware" thread. All the hardware specs for that computer are listed... That was my "1st GarageBand 10.5.1..." - first successful zephy install. My son uses that computer with Garage Band daily - ever since I built it.

[Skyper]

@cgsheen
What ever.

[cgsheen]

True? Or not?

[Skyper]

Rather not i'm afraid. Ive already checked before i posted thank you very much. But my problem was that i clicked the search button too many times so it popped up with an limit error. So i was asking very kindly if there was another program because this one wont work because my limit runned out. Can you understand now? Or do you want me to explain it to you in kinda more simple english?
