ryghar:Hi!!

My time machine is lost in the tunnel... I cant get it work....
I have 1 drive with 3 partitions:
disk1s1 Winshit
disk1s2 Leopard
disk1s3 intended for time machine formated hfs+

When i select disk1s3 for time machine it activate and said that will do a backup in 120sec. When the time comes i get the error "cant find the volume" or something like that.

When i press the time machine icon in the dock it show correctly the "space" and the subsecuent windows but i cant do backups.
The drive is SATA in a MB ASUS M2NVP-MX with this incredible release from zephy 10.5.2.

Any ideas?

Thnks.

I have the opposite problem, can do back ups but trying to use time machine just causes finder to restart.

Trying to install and seems like booting starting ok, however I'm getting several lines with "AppleNForceATA: phy connection failed" and suddenly my HDD (SATA2) stops working. Seems like it is trying to boot from DVD anyway and I get "SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed'" and PC just freezes after some more lines.

I've burned ISO at double speed.

What could be the problem?

My Specs:
MoBo: MSI K8N Neo4-FI/Platinum (MS-7125)
Chipset: nForce4-Ultra
CPU: AMD Athlon 64, 2000 MHz (10 x 200) 3200+, Venice S939

The "AppleNForceATA: phy connection failed" 'error' is probably because there isn't anything plugged into a sata port, anyway, someone managed to fix the still waiting for root device error? :)

hey people. first of all mad props to zephyroth. This disk is the closest ive got to install on my amd machine. After a lot of adjustments (dvd and hdd on same ide ribbon) ive managed to get the installer to run throught to I minute left hang (Ive used the wikidiot reinstall guide and it had no effect, still died at the same point), then the screen turns grey, the apple loading circle shows and the machine powers off. The installer log shows dummy bless (or there abouts). On reboot in verbose mode I get the 'still waiting for root device' message. It doesnt matter if I try MBR or GUID, install with or without kexts, the install alwats ends up the same, I have also burned several disks using alcohol in windows and toast on a kalyway intel machine.
After lurking here and insaelymac for a few days the ive seen a few people with same problem and similar processors and the only theory ive come up wiht is that its a problem with the athlon x64 socket 754 family. Other than that i have no theories. If anyone has any ideas feel free. Heres the specs;-

mobo-asus k8s-mx
chipset- sis 760gx
ram 2x512 pc3200
sound- using an external sb live (no kext required just plug and play after install)
graphics -nvidia geforce 6600 128mb agp.
hdd-ide 40gb

Should probably mention I did have an extremely unstable tiger 10.4.6 install on this machine.
Again thanks a lot zephyroth.
Thanks.

Hmm, brand new SATA II hdd is plugged into SATA port and BIOS sees it. Maybe hdd have to be somehow preformatted or something too be seen by Zephyroth Leopard? I just don't understand. Why on earth hdd stops running... By the way, after trying once more I can be more precise, hdd stops running after this line: "firewire unable to determine security-mode. Defaulting to full-secure"

What is the problem??

Sorry about my english I speak Spanish like fractal.

something weird I found also is: I have 2 hd�s. 200bg for M$ windows, and files, and a 20gb for osx - for now -. When I erased my osx partition and remaded it, it was ok. But, when I finished installed osx and had some problems in the video configs, I decided to re-install it, and when I get to disk utility again to re-format the 20gb, guess what? my M$ windows vista partition - named system so far - got the name changed for disk0s01 (something like that)... I guess it was made when the bootloader was installing...

anyway I had no time to test the windows boot yet, but, in some few hours - God I wanna go home right now, can�t take this job anymore - I�ll be testing it and sending my reports.

tchau!

freshcuts, did you drag and drop the "alc880.txt" , onto the AppleHDAPatcher1.20 icon/application, or did you open the application itself?

your only supposed to drag and drop the alc880.txt over the app icon, then it will popup and run its script and show you the output, at the end it should say "successfully patched"

If i try 10.5.1 it boots the installer, but its VERY slow, takes 10 minutes to even recognise my hard drives and when I try to erase my partition I allocated for Leopard, it just doesnt do anything. Ive yet to actually install it and its driving me MENTAL!!!

I tried installing 10.5.1 but I had a lot of probs and no sound after install.
Does that mean that my audio chip is doomed? :(

@freshcuts
Did you try all of the ALC880 codec dumps (all the alc880.txt files) in the repository referenced at netkas.org? There are probably 7 or 8 different .txt files (codec dumps) for the ALC880. They are from various motherboards (but most of them are for Intel CPU MB's I think) None of them worked for my ALC880, but who knows... The only thing that has worked with mine is Taruga's "beta4some861_880Installer"...

Finally after some struggle with booting (my fault) and after applying widely known lines of code for GUID boot Leopard works without any problem. Everything works so far except printer, since it is not connected via USB. I can simply copy (or watch) my files from WIN XP HDD to Leopard HDD and this is fun :)

Now I see that Quicktime is 7.2.1 though it is written that ISO should have 7.4.1. So there should be 7.4.1 updater in this ISO, or something like that? :)

Regarding Marvin utility. Should I patch every software install for Leopard or only those from Apple, or only software updates? I'm a little bit confused here. I've installed Skype without problems without Marvin, but wouldn't like to mess up with Quicktime install if I download from apple site.

Thanks Zephyroth!

All I have is SATA. Like I said, 10.5.1 boot into installer but takes a LONG LONG time and doesnt format.
10.5.2 just hangs at "waiting for root device". I REALLY want this to work. I don't care about networking or sound or anything like that. I just want to dive into Leopard and try it out. :(

then you should try it on a usb hard drive or on vmware because i think sata is not really 0sx86 friendly

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.

Problem solved so far (install in progress)

I had to replace in the iso the AppleNForceATA.kext (Medevil last version 1.0.3) by the one from the 10.5.1 iso (Medevil kext version 1.0.2). Zephyroth mentioned it in one of his posts 2 days ago (I had not seen it before...)

Steps:
Mount 10.5.1 iso

Unpack the Extensions from 10.5.1 in ~/Desktop/ExtensionsOld:
mkextunpack -d ~/Desktop/ExtensionsOld /Volumes/YourMountedISO10.5.1/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Mount 10.5.2 iso in read write mode:
/usr/bin/hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite

Unpack the 10.5.2 extensions in Extensions.mkext:
mkextunpack -d ~/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/YourMountedISO10.5.2/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Delete the Extensions.mkext in the 10.5.2 iso:
rm -R /Volumes/YourMountedISO10.5.2/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

replace AppleNForceATA.kext in the 10.5.2 Extensions folder:
Drag and drop in finder

Repair permissions:
chown -R root:wheel ~/Desktop/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 ~/Desktop/Extensions/*

Create the updated mkext file in the 10.5.2 iso:
kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/YourMountedISO10.5.2/mach_kernel -m /Volumes/YourMountedISO10.5.2/System/Library/Extensions.mkext ~/Desktop/Extensions

Unmount the iso and burn it.

I used the instructions given here: http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc3

Good luck it this can help anybody!

I think I know what my problem is. I unplugged both of my SATA HD's and left just my SATA dvd drive in place. I then tried to use a usb drive. But the EXACT same problems occured. I.e waiting for root device etc. So it has to be a problem with my Plextor SATA drive.
Is there any workaround? Perhaps making the install run from another partition or drive? Can that be done?

What do you mean install from BIOS?
After you enter and then exit BIOS, PC restarts - this is how functions the system. This is normal.

I see the 4 Partitions disk0s1, disk0s2, disk0s3 and disk0s4.

When i select -disk0s3- the "Mac OS X86 - 10.4.9 - Tiger" Version starts and all work fine.
When i select -disk0s4- the "Mac OS X86 - 10.5.2 AMD - Leopard" Version i get the failure (see below the Picture)
From DVD i can start the "Mac OS X86 - 10.5.2 AMD - Leopard" Version!

Has anyone installed VMware or Paralellels Desktop on the Zephyroth's leopard 10.5.2 AMD and how is that working for you, I am experiencing kernel panics like crazy using each of those applications. Usually what is happenning is that the vitual machine will hang and then kill the host causing the panic.

note: It seem to hard drive access related. I am using a nForce590 chipset MB with SATA Hard drives. I would really like to be able to run one of these Apps because of the Windows apps that I like.

It's not that... My own install gives me the "... not 0x14 as expected" every time I boot, but it's never stopped an install or a boot into 10.5.1 or 10.5.2. He's most likely using an unsupported or poorly supported chipset...

I have a Asus A8N-SLI with the latest Bios update. The only option I can change in the bios is ACPI enabled/disabled and S1 or S3.
I tried every combination without success.

BTW: I'm typing this from my iATKOS Leopard 10.5.1 with the AMD patch. Here everything works fine, and did the installation without any change from bios. But it feels a little slow, don't know why, maybe I'm just crazy.

Thanks guys!!

Yep there does seem to be a lot of people just praying and trying to install with out checking out if there is any chance of osx running on there system, but I don't blame them, at the thought of being stuck with vista as a main operating system I would do desperate things lol

Ya, I can promise you - it's NOT whether you're using APIC 1.1 or 1.4 (which is a COMPLETELY different thing than ACPI)...

But - you're probably going to need to "screen shot" the entire text of the error, kernel panic, or whatever in order for someone to actually help. (And "A8N-SLI" doesn't really help us to do anything but try to find specs on that MB by ourselves... Do yourself a favor and supply as MUCH information as possible (down to the chipsets used) - you'll probably get much more information in return.)

eMatoS was correct.
I have an MSI K9N Diamond. Under the BIOS entry for "Power management features" is "ACPI function" enabled or disabled then "ACPI Standby state" S1/POS or S3/STR. The APIC entry is under "Advanced BIOS features".

The only help I need is figuring out how grub is loading the SLIC BIOS emulation for the OEM version of Vista I am testing so I will not include my other stats.
BTW, I do know that this is the wrong place to ask about grub so I am not expecting an answer on that. :)

Luck eMatoS, and everybody else.

Best release soo far. Most of the things work.

THE biggest MAJOR problem I have with this release is, the fact that my onboard REALTEK AC 97 soundcard doesnt work. I usually hear a sound here and there. But mostly its silent.

I dont have a clue what might be wrong as Im not a native mac user, and/or how to install drivers on a mac.
I have some Linux experience tho, but soo far lack of mac knowledge remained fruitless in providing a fix.

Has anyone resolved such or simmilar problem with Realtek AC97 drivers on any motherboard?
My motherboard is mini form factor: Asus A8V-MX.

Hope someone has time to write a few lines regarding this issue.

I have Realteck ALC850 soundcard with AC97 drivers. I have no problems at all with sound. When installing Leopard I only have chosen AC97 drivers from the list. That's all.

I have the only problem so far. Every time I restart/start Leopard only English language remains in my Language Input Menu. I have to set again and again other two languages after restart to be able to type using them. And everything works ok until next restart/start of Leopard. I'm not sure if this problem was when I installed Leo, probably not, it has appeared later - I can't recall really. Anyone experienced this problem or knows where to search or how to solve this problem?

By the way, for sometime I couldn't solve the problems with finding the printer in Print and Fax Preferences (even it was identified in System Info) even after downloading latest HP sofware through Apple update. The problem was solved after I launched file "csregprinter" in System\Library\Printers\Libraries. Maybe this will help others who have similar problem.

>>Go to Control Panel and open your Device Admin
>>Search for the Sound device (AC'97 something) and double click it.
>>Go to Details and write down these numbers:
VEN_XXXX mine is 10DE
DEV_XXXX mine is 0059
>>Reboot and get the hell out of there

Step 2: Back to heaven :)

>>Start Zephyroth's Leopard :D
>>Open a terminal
>>Login as admin (sudo su)
>>Go to this folder:
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext/Contents
>>nano Info.plist
>>Find this line: <key>NVIDIA AC97 Audio</key>
>>Below you'll see something like this: <string> 0x026b10de 0x005910de blahblablah </string>
>>Add your vendor and ID here this way:
0x(here your dev ID)(and here your vendor) in my case it's 0x005910de

First of all, I'd like to join everyone and thanks Zephyroth for all the time he puts in this project. This release is awesome.

I installed 10.5.2, and everything seem good so far.

My specs:
OS X: Leopard 10.5.2 R1 by Zephyroth
Board: EVGA 131-K8-NF44-AX NF4
Memory: 2GB OCZ Platinum
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo
Graphic: MSI GeForce 7800 GTX 256 (now working with NVInject 0.2.1/10.5.2 kext also QE/CI)
Integrated Audio: AC97
HD: WD 160GB
DVD - IDE CW-8123-C Slot Drive from iMac

My install options:
MBR formatted in DISK UTILITY, Kernel 9.2.0, EFI (MBR), Forcedeth.kext, NVidia+NVinject, Azelia Audio (removed), NForce Chipset

The first time I used the AC97 but it didn't worked, so I tried Azelia, and it didn't worked either. From there I just deleted Azelia, and use the ALC850-Install.zip floating around, and this time it kicked in :).

BTW, I tried to use my Pioneer SATA DVD drive first to install from the DVD but got a "Waiting for root device" stuck. Using a IDE slot drive picked from a broken iMac here worked like a charm (just a bit noisy).

Hey Freshcuts, I had the same problem with the same Motherboard as you and stumbled on a solution that made my sound work in Leopard 1.5.2:
In the bios configration disable the IEEE1394, enable the AC97 Audio BUT disable the game port and the MIDI Interrupts (AC97 = Enabled, Game Port = Disabled, MIDI Port Address = Disabled, MIDI Port IRQ = Disabled).
Once this is done, your soundcard should work with the AC97 Kexts you already modified, if not I will upload the kexts (with codecs) I installed on mine.

I hope this will help anyone with such a problem.

JoeTheWise

02-29-2008, 09:28 PM

Maybe you are right K235, on my A8N SLI I always had that configuration in BIOS (I never used the game and MIDI ports on PC in my all life...) and audio with AC97 always worked from MacOS X 10.4.8 to 10.5.2...

JoeTheWise:Maybe you are right K235, on my A8N SLI I always had that configuration in BIOS (I never used the game and MIDI ports on PC in my all life...) and audio with AC97 always worked from MacOS X 10.4.8 to 10.5.2...
So I may actually be on to something ;)

Now the only problem is to understand why those settings are impeding the ALC850 to work when turned on... a conflict between the MPU401 and the actual SP or maybe the fact that the MPU401 is obsolete and therefore (may) not being supported by OSX... that's the dilemma... I'll post some more findings as soon as I'll be back home, thinking of fiddling around with the IRQs and Memory addresses of the devices.

In my A8N-SLI I always had midi and game port active, and it always worked out of the box. Anyway, you should try, perhaps your motherboard gives different IRQ directions to ports.

wongbingo: eMatoS:That's exactly the same error as mine! And I'm also booting the installation from a HD partition.
I'll try to burn a DVD and see what happens.

this is the screenshot, sorry for the painfull quality it's taken with my cellphone.

EDIT: you're right!!!! it passed that error, and then gave me another one, SAM Multimedia Error. I've checked and it's related to a bad DVD, so I'll try again, damned toast!
Hi eMatos,

I have exactly the same error as yours and still stucks at there now.
Would you pls tell me how to slove it? Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!

My error was to install from my HD, so I burned a DVD and it worked fine. Hope that's your problem too.

Good luck!!!

I actually installed it from a DVD (burned at 4X) as well and believe me, there was no stone I left unturned, looked at more than a fair share of discussions and tried everything (including re-installing OSX about 3 or 4 times... sigh) - I guess it may be a "problem" with the Premium version of the A8N-SLI or maybe the date of purchase may influence this factor (newer versions of the motherboard???) - only ASUS would be able to track the issues... but somehow I do not think they'd like to be involved ;)

What about the Bios update?
It seems the last one is 1303, although some people got back to 1302 and older due to some issues.

There seems to be manys problems with the onboard sound device, maybe there's a workaround for you.

I don't know where I got it from but my bios is rev 1604, and the official sites have the 1603 as last beta, maybe there's a newer version for the premium hidden in the net.

That's very interesting... My BIOS version is not the latest (V. 1009) and my initial thought was that, so I updated the BIOS (1302 1st then 1303) but no cigar, as I said that was the only solution I found (for now); but the fact of you having a BIOS revision 1604 intrigues me... who knows if there's anything that a "hacked" bios could do about these issues.
Thank you for these information, may be very helpful in shedding some light on this obscure problem.

I've had the same problem with Transmac until I've installed it to C:\Program Files\Transmac (instead of offered C:\Program Files x86). Also if you're using the cracked Transmac v7.5 from TPB know that supplied cracked .exe is corrupted. I've attached a working cracked exe.

OK soo far, a nice release.

Things that work: Allmost everything I need.

Things that dont work:

* keyboard layout recognizes all the keys except it changes key Y and Z (I have to type Y to actually type Z)
* SOUND - big problem because it doesnt work. I have A8V-MX motherboard with onboard ALC653 codec - realtek/via I guess.
* I see no SATA drives (not even in system preferences)
* Cant use 2nd monitor (LCD) on my Nvidia 6800 GT 256 MB AGP

Programs that dont work:
* MAINTENANCE needs 10.4.x to work apparently
* TOAST Titanium (nothing happens when I press it)
* Bookit
* Front Row
* HardwareGrowler
* Onyx
* CandyBar
* Sherlock
* Printer Setup Utility

Im sure there are more as I havent tried installing any apps on my computer.

The hardware issues are the most pestering as I hate using a computer where I cant watch movies and/or play music. :/

Right now Im just content/happy this distro is working at all.
And I will be even more happy if some of you have sucessfully solved these problems and are willing to share it with the rest of us.

First, thanks a lot Zephyroth for putting together this release

Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
RAM: 2 GB PC3200 RAM
Video Card: 512MB ATI 3870

I tried to install with GUID, but I would get b0 error. Then I installed MBR with: 9.2.0 Kernel, Forcedeth, ATI 38XX driver (17 MB one), AC97 and Azailia audio. I can only boot with -x. Anything else and it starts up for about 10 seconds, then just shows me a screen of random black, red, and green lines in a weird pattern. My 3870 does not work, and I am in software mode with no QE/CI. I am trying to get Natit from Netkas.org working. I have no sound, and the internet is very sluggish (like not getting past 10 kb/s, I don't know why). About this Mac and System Profiler are working fine.

If anyone could help me with these issues, that'd be great, if not I'll keep trying
Thanks again Zephyroth.

Yep that should be the one, that Zephyroth mentioned in his own topic. However, I do recommend confirming with Zephyroth first through the Whisper Box, because I am unsure whether or not eddie and zephyroth have their own releases. If not, it should be safe to use the .zip file. Make sure to patch it with your existing .iso using a ppf patch utlity. google that. =)

I got GUID working using this method:
Remember: on a GUID install, Leopard is installed to partition 2, patition 1 is for the GUID. So, on a computer with one hardrive and one install, you want to use rdisk0s2.

1 - Insert 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"
I hope that helps people getting the b0 or white cursor issues.

Specs=
Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200

The issues I am currently having with this install are:
1- I have to boot with -x. If I boot with any other option, the white Apple loads for 30 seconds or so, and then I see a garbled screen of lines and shapes.
2- LAN is extremely slow. Using Forcedeth or Skge, I never get over 10 kb/s down. On Windows or Linux it works fine and normal. I have a Marvell ethernet port and a Nforce one.
3- No QE/CI on 3870 with the 38X0 driver or HDXXXX driver. I can get QE/CI working by installing the Leopard graphics update and the latest Natit from Netkas.org.
4- No sound, I'm pretty sure my board uses the ALC850.

Any help with issues 1 and 2 would be great.
Again, I'd like to thank Zephyroth for the time he has invested into this release =).

You can use the marvin�s utilty or make a folder in your desktop and copy the finder app from /system/library/coreservices/finder , and run the marvin utility, you need to know if it needs any patch

If it doesn�t works you can try to do again the eddie�s 10.5.2 update.

something is acting up in this system, if you read the new discussion I started, don't know if this is a serious problem or not. But seems very strange. In regards to system profiler shows different hardware overview this time. Is parallels or vmware fusion responsible for this? roisoft:You can use the marvin�s utilty or make a folder in your desktop and copy the finder app from /system/library/coreservices/finder , and run the marvin utility, you need to know if it needs any patch

I replaced my SATA DVD drive because the installer didnt seem to like it.
I seemed to fix that problem to create another,
I borrowed a DVD IDE drive from work and tried to install. If I used 10.5.2 and let it boot up, within seconds a screen comes up telling me to restart.
If I use -v -x, just seems to panic out and turns off my computer.
10.5.1 gets me into the installer to a point, but soon as i click next and accept, it comes up with a log I can choose to save, telling me again to restart.
Any solutions?

If you have tried numerous of times with the same DVD on different drives it can either be a), your DVD is corrupt (burn at lowest speeds instead), or b), your hardware specifications don't quite meet the requirements.

Try booting off from the DVD by using -v (verbose mode), and check to see if their are any errors popping up. Then let us know, and we can decide a better option for you.

If it is your hardware wait for the next release, matter of one-two days, and try then. Zephyroth said he included many improvements to hardware compatibility. Also, their are some surprises in store for us. Lets just wait and see. =)

Just as I thought I was actually getting somewhere, someone else comes out and bites me in the ass.
I downloaded Leo4All and tried that. This time things worked alot better, I managed (with much fiddling) to format my parition to HFS+ using windows and the installer recognised it. I customised my install and clicked install. HORRAY
Wait, NO!
Soon as I click install, it comes up with a box saying its checking the DVD for consistency or something. It takes a LONG time. 10 minutes to hit 2%. By this point I was really tired from the day so went for a snooze. I woke up an hour later and just had a large "install failed" logo on the screen. Saying it couldn't write to its destination or something.

And now I have working audio... For microphone only! I have no sound on output or line-out. Only the input level (System preferences - Sound - Input) is now reacting on me (on my voice or other microphone sounds), but no sounds in output channel (there IS the "AC97 Audio (PCM)" line on System prefs-Sount-Output, there IS the output volume control in menu bar, but no sounds at all)

How do I fix that?
