Successful Install

[drum109]

I installed this yesterday successfully on my first try. I had ToH 10.5 Leopard before but I figured I should try this, so I formatted the partition and installed this.

I used the MBR bootloader without a ToH kernel. I chose some driver options but none of them worked, but I got the same drivers that I had in 10.5 and they work fine in 10.5.2 (audio, ethernet). As for video, it still doesn't work, and never has with 10.5, so I won't bother with it in 10.5.2 as all you ever need them for is to change the resolution. The dock is kinda choppy with mag. on, no biggy.

Triple-Boot; Vista/XP/Leo 10.5.2 (Zephyroth)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz (stock)
RAM: 2GB DDR400 PC3200
[b]HDD: (1) 200GB; Vista/XP (2) 120GB; OS X/Storage
AUDIO: Realtek ALC880
ETHERNET: nVidia nForce4
VIDEO: ATI HD Radeon 2600PRO (512MB) ID:9589, drivers don't and never has worked.

Can anyone help me get QE/CI on here? I remember trying the 2600PRO thing on my Leopard 10.5 install (yes i added 9589 to the info.plist file) and all I always got was a cursor...so I'm thinking about trying again.

Although during installation I chose the triakis stuff, but maybe I have to add my device ID in the info.plist file for the ati2000 whatchamacallit kexts...i'll try that out later and see how it goes.

LOL I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING!

Its basically a Gateway GT4016, but with a few extras.

Its a FIC KTBC51G (http://www.fic.com.tw/product/motherboard/AMD/KTBC51G.aspx).

Anyway I added my device ID to the ATI2000xxxw/e.kext and when I booted up it said that the kext could not be used (said the same thing about the netkas kext when I first installed this).

if you get a pop up that it cant be loaded, you need to fix the permissions on the file.

sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/*

then reboot you computer.

10.5.2 "worked out of the box" for me. The only (minor) issues I had were the ALCInject.kext not loading correctly on the first run - but I fixed that swiftly with a quick permission repair. The nForce 5 Lan is still a no go, but that is now somewhat irrelevant to me since I have a cheap PCI NIC that works perfectly. The GUID boot loader needed fixing - that can be found here (http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5).

So far its been very stable, extremely fast and working as a real Mac would.
