It would interest me why are so different problems with the nForce 4 chipsets and how to recognize the differences between nForce 4, nForce 4 Ultra, nForce 4 SLI, nForce 410, nForce 430. Does it belong to the onboard chips? My nForce 3 and nForce 4 SLI boards have Realtek ALC850 Audio and Marvell 88E1115 LAN, they're working 100% including SATA. Another nForce 4 board without SLI has Realtek ALC655 Audio and Realtek RTL8201CL LAN and it's also working prefect. A friend has an AM2 board which also shows nForce 4 as chipset, Realtek Audio ALC850 Audio works but not LAN, I think it was an Attensic chip or something else. How about a little nForce 4 differences list to compare the problems?

[pαuℓzurrr.]

This is my nForce 430 (MCP61) without SLI, Realtek RTL8201CL/CP for LAN, didn't get LAN to work but some are saying it should work with forcedeth, Realtek ALC888 for Audio, which works with ALCinject, SATA not working with rev 1 but should work in 2 ;)

@ mrburns05

Hey, if you are not a noob. You have an HP Notebook. I also have a HP Notebook but differet.
Have you working sound on your HP Notebook?????? I get not working sound in my Tiger 10.4.9!

Read this: Analog devices SoundMax AD1981HD on HP notebook
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=37756&hl=ad1981&st=80

I thing the whole HP family is affected by the problem!

@ zephyroth
Is there a solution in Leopard 10.5.1 Rev.2?

HP NX6325:
Mac version 10.4.9 uphuck v1.3
AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-56 (1,8 GHz)
2 GB DDR2 / 667

[crawle]

Hey roisoft!
Does this nVidia kext work on my Zeph Leopard? Maybe with it I can get my dual monitor work.

-crawle

[roisoft]

I donīt Know, You can try it and post your results here :)

[crawle]

And if it won't work? ;-)

[roisoft]

lol ;-)

[crawle]

Okay, I've tested it. It works, but at mine only one monitor. Like before. ;-)

[tala]

please how can I Download this Rev2

[naquaada]

pay $6000 to this froum, I'll think you'd get it then.

[Puttabong]

hehe, naquaada, right you are.

I'd send a Rev2 DVD via post... if one donates a small forum fund :)

[phreakazoidz]

@puttabong .... How much...??

:)

[naquaada]

If a donation would be for a good purpose I had no problems with it - I also donated at insanelymac.
Forums like these keep OSx86 and it's community alive, in our case a very close community. If we only had insanelymac for zephyroth's DVD we couldn't have shared so many information - and it's very much fun in here.

[Puttabong]

Friends, first of all, donate to zephyroth for his awesome work! And then, if you really like to, you can consider a small donation for the forums.

@phreakazoidz: I have to check how much it costs me to send a small envelope with the DVD :D

[naquaada]

A really great thing would be an OSx86 party - in the C64 and Amiga demo scene this is common, the people are coming from all parts of Europe, sometimes all of the world. It would be a way to find people with the same interests and it would be a perfect way to betatest in realtime cause there are a lot of different platforms available.

[1207FX]

lmao, for some of us, would be much cheaper to buy the new mac :)

[creative_]

I have kernel panic with apple efi kext in rev 2 :(
dont know what to do =(

[Puttabong]

creative, Rc2? Did you actually choose the proper packages such as SSE3 Kernel at "Customize", before Installing?

[creative_]

I didnt chose SSE3 Kernel i think will try again. Nforce driver and MBR Partition is right for me im at Nforce 5?

[Puttabong]

If you click the arrow next to nForce Driver, then you can choose between nForce 3/4/5 and others.
You have to pick the right one. :)

If you chose Guid to partition your Leo Harddrive, then choose GUID at Customize as well.
If you chose MBR, then choose MBR Boot fix.

Greetings

[creative_]

hmm cant remember ^^ I will try again and report here :)

Wil this take 5 hours to install on my labtop like rev 1?

[creative_]

Ok i tried now there is an other kernel panic :((

I took some screenshots

http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/sd3xf6bo/DSCN0940.JPG

any ideas?
getting angry with xp :D

remove the intelcpupowermanagment.kext with the -s command if you cant make it there make likee a 5 gb partition and then install tiger, then do it from there... you should be able to boot then

[creative_]

yep thought about it isnt it important?

[Puttabong]

This is what zephyroth says regarding that kext:

Wow ...AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement shouldn't be loaded ... It shouldn't be intalled !!!!
I've just made a fresh installation of Beta2 and it's not in Extensions folder.

[creative_]

i cant boot with -s :(

[creative_]

very strange :(

[Puttabong]

Boot up in the Installer DVD and use the Terminal to delete it?

cd /Volumes/YourDisk/System/Library/Extensions/

[DoiX]

creative i too got this error because my hdd wasn't erased properly, it still had some old leopard parts :) try using the 0 option or format it to ntfs (from windows) then in hfs(try not journaled), if puttabong's solution doesn't work

[creative_]

DoiX:creative i too got this error because my hdd wasn't erased properly, it still had some old leopard parts :) try using the 0 option or format it to ntfs (from windows) then in hfs(try not journaled), if puttabong's solution doesn't work

i will try :)

does this take about 5 hours to install on every ones comp? can you post how long it takes on your system as well as your specs? its taking 5 hours and 42 min, on mine........ only 43 min left to go - rev 2

[Puttabong]

Hackintosh4Life: Actually it takes about 15 Minutes for me to install!!

OS X: Leopard 10.5.1 by zephyroth
Board: DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Graphic: Colorful GeForce 7600 GT
HD: Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 300 GB + Maxtor 40 GB IDE
Drives: LG GDR-H30N-BB, Plextor PX-810UF
Control: Apple Keyboard, Apple Mighty Mouse

[DoiX]

lol... hackintosh4life on my pc it takes exactly 2h 30min

hmm, thats really werid, do you know what might be affecting the speed? I have tried setting my video card from 256mb to 32mb and still nothing, 1gb ram...

im almost done the driver for the 200m/1100 users ill put it on the ftp, when its done

[DoiX]

no x200 ? only the m one?:((

x200 is the same isent it?...... if not whats the dev id, ill try to get it in too

[DoiX]

5954 is the id, callisto works fine but no QE/CI :( without these i can't experience the 100% of leopard

[creative_]

I got out the box experience now. Problem was i didn't erase the volume with 0 method. Thanx to doix. Good speed with rev2

[zephyroth]

You know what ?
I'm happy to see you working on it like that ! I'm not alone and ... God ... It's good !

mmhm..... the driver wont be ready for a while guys, and dont get your hopes up....... good job creative_, so your in leo right now?

[frying_fish]

Thats what you hope for zephyroth, have you got it setup for svn or cvs so that a few of you can help develop it easier together?

[DoiX]

creative_:I got out the box experience now. Problem was i didn't erase the volume with 0 method. Thanx to doix. Good speed with rev2no problem :) zephyroth:You know what ?
I'm happy to see you working on it like that ! I'm not alone and ... God ... It's good !zeph i would like to help you but i know only php and a little bit of c++, all i can do for now is beta test

[creative_]

hackintosh4life:mmhm..... the driver wont be ready for a while guys, and dont get your hopes up....... good job creative_, so your in leo right now?

Yes good work by zephyroth. Better speed with EFI

Great!, 19* more minutes until my install is done - hopefully no problems, or else illl have to try to fix, or wait another 5 hours, creative_ are you MBR or GUID?

[creative_]

I'm MBR whats the difference to GUID?

[frying_fish]

wow hackintosh, can't believe its taking that long for you, I know when I was trying the kalyway install on my laptop (which I think unfortunately the hardware may not work with, possibly a bit old) but that was only claiming to take just over an hour, but then again even getting to the installer took 25mins-30mins.

GUID, is what apple use's on the real intel mac's and from what i've read is that rev 2 supports it, since my install takes 5 hours, i dident do it, just in case its a bit buggy, it would probably give you a performance boost, and a more "genuine" experience if you will.

Wyatt M.

[DoiX]

hackintosh4life you have dual core or single ? sata or ata?

edit: rev2 supports it but the post install GUID script has a bug, if you chose GUID you must fix it after the install is finished :)

I have a dual core Amd turion 64 x2 TL-50 (1.6 Ghz or 1.5 Ghz cant remember) and im pretty sure its a sata, cant check right now, ill edit this in 16 min ;)

PS: everyone can call me Wyatt, hackintosh4life is too long

[DoiX]

hmm... i have a single core 1.9 ghz with and old seagate ata (my sata hdd is destroyed thx to my early leo installs) :) anyway i dont know why it takes 5 hours to install , its really strange

edit : ok Wyatt :)

[frying_fish]

Only thing I could suggest that would be causing it is slow dvd drive and slow hdd, harsh that it takes that long though.

Eh, who cares


6 more min ;)

[Puttabong]

I have tested several Harddisks in the past.

On 300 GB Maxtor SATA it takes about 15-20 minutes.
On my 40 GB Maxtor IDE it takes about 25-30 minutes,
on a very old 20 GB Maxtor IDE it takes 1 hour,
trying to install it on a Western Digital 70 GB USB External would have taken about 4h 30 min :)

[DoiX]

hmm... i think i'm gonna buy a new dvd driver :))) just so i won't wait 2 hours when installing osx

o shit, i think its hanging at 7 min......... if i do the trick where i start the installer again will it still be 5 hours?

and do i selct my optionals again?

[frying_fish]

hopefully I would say it wouldn't, since it seems if yours is taking 5hrs instead of 30mins, then 7mins ~ the 1 min hang, so you should be able to get it to skip on to the final bits.

Good luck

[DoiX]

hackintosh4life:o shit, i think its hanging at 7 min......... if i do the trick where i start the installer again will it still be 5 hours?

and do i selct my optionals again? wyatt do do nothing :) leave it until the menu bars dissapers or the menus don't work anymore

too late now, already took fish's advice, hopfully it wont be another 5 hours

do i select my optionals again? or have they already been installed?

[DoiX]

dont select them.. anyway i'm almost 100% sure that you will get kernel panic when trying to boot into leo or the setup hang error

[Puttabong]

Hmm, I think you should select them, because otherwise the missing bootloader won't be installed. At least I think I did so when I had the freeze error with RC1. On Rc2 this doesn't happen anymore.

only once in my life have i ever got a kernel panic from on install, and that was cuz i was useing an intel kernel, and i never have the set up hang, even if... im ready to fight!
but why do you say?

PS, ive used the toh kernel before, so i shouldent get a panic

it wasent 5 gb, it was 5.7 gb ;) and it looks like im asking for another 5 hours :(

shouldent say looks like, i shoukld say "i am looking at another" litterly

[DoiX]

wyatt, you'd better format the drive with 0 then install it when it says 7 minutes left leave it until it becomes 4 and the progress bar stoppes, turn of the pc and boot into leo :).. oh and heres another advice at 7 minutes left open the install log and check if the install goes fine, if the post install partion script is install and if the last row you see before it hags is "finalizing disk" if you see that row(its a good thing) you should wait 15 minutes more because the computer will shutdown on its own :)

Ok well, ill post up whats going on with my labtop in about 5 hours....... :(

[DoiX]

take my advice go to sleep time passes faster :D

[frying_fish]

I'm watching, but until I get a copy of the iso there isn't much I can do really (that and I can't do much until I've installed it which I can do from Friday evening).

[Xxp/TuX]

Puttabong:I have tested several Harddisks in the past.

On 300 GB Maxtor SATA it takes about 15-20 minutes.
On my 40 GB Maxtor IDE it takes about 25-30 minutes,

trying to install it on a Western Digital 70 GB USB External would have taken about 4h 30 min :)

Have you (or anyone Rev 2 tester) ever got any problem with Rev 2 concerning with the DVD drives?. I never have had this problem, but is good to know due to some people can not make it work...

[DoiX]

i had problems with my dvd drive in rev1 but in rev2 rc2 everything works perfectly :)

[Xxp/TuX]

Good news!...Well, in advance that is a very good sign!. One DVD drive less, lol =) .

OK, install went fine, but i have an issue... working on solution, meaning its my top priority, driver's im doing right now - bonkey and 1100/200m/x200 will be later, due to this set back

[vinbuntu]

-----> hackintosh4life

Awesome work. Do you think your method will work on the x1250 from the 690g chipset? is the 1100 similiar in anyway as the x1250? What my understanding is that the x1250 addresses memory like a normal Graphics Card. To the OS it is a independent PCIe x16 card with its own memory, even through it uses shared memory. And it address memory at 200mhz x2, dual channel to feed its 400mhz core. Which is completely separate from the main system use of memory. On my AMD BE-2350 Athlon x2 2.1ghz it address my memory at 321.xxmhz x2 for the CPU. Even overclocking the CPU and memory the Graphics access its portion of the memory remains the same. I am using a M2A-VM HDMI motherboard from Asus. It use to be able to over clock the on GPU with earlier bioses I read. But too many issues, with the newest bios this function is disabled. When I get access to Rev. 2 I will try to take abit of x700 (suppose to base somewhat based on the GPU) and x1600 and 2600 HD kext. To see if I can get it to work. But I would really like to get your inputs and methods so I don't have to start from scratch.

GOOD WORK MAN!!!

As for Geforce 6150 go. Memory address the same way 950GMA also, maybe you can do something about that stubborn on board GPU. The faster the memory your CPU address the better performance the GPU gets. Unlike the x1250.

Unfortunately I do not have much knolage with that card, but all I know, is nothing but the GMA950 address's the memory like the 1100/x200/200m but its worth a try when i release the driver...

Wyatt M.

I should have a beta on the FTP, by sunday.... to work the kinks out......FInal version by the next week or less.... I know thats long but i have school and I need to make audio drivers, as well as get the Rev 2 amd leo working on my system

[rockybt18]

Coming with news after a week of problems with the rev.2.
On my notebook all went fine at 1st sight, my HDD is recognized, finally!. But after this are some problems. When i start the install sometimes it blocks, i need to move the cursor to continue the instalation. All the instal took about an hour. After this i wanted to boot from HDD. Nothin'. No OS installed. Hmm triyed again, reinstalled 3 times and nothin'. Then I let the DVD inside, it appears the Apple logo, and do nothing.
Then I triyed to install on my AMD Athlon64 3800+ sk 939, all went smooth, BUT!! it boots only with the DVD inserted. My audio card its not recognized out of the box.
What I did wrong? :(

OK, im too lazy to wait 5 hours every time I install on my labtop HD so right now im installing on my Externel 320 Gb - Ill post back and say how long it takes, Peace

Wyatt M.

EDIT :

It appears that its not the HD thats making take 5 hours :( and it cant be the cd drive because its just the same as anyone else's..:( ill post back in about 5 hours

EDIT :
Mabey it is actually, because now it doesnt say 5 hours, i'm actually down to 1 hour and 37 min with my external, Also someone needs to edit the wiki - the real old one, because it says you cant do a native install, and that is nont true

[Puttabong]

Good Luck.

[frying_fish]

so, very slow hdd / driver for your hdd then. wiki saying not able to do native, does it suggest a way to do it in vmware then?

yeah, it tells how to do it in vm ware, but really whats the point of a vm ware or virtual machine when you cant have the real "genuine" experience

PS ; it better work on my external because i deleted my imac time machine back ups!!!!! ;)

Wyatt M.

[frying_fish]

well, getting something running in vmware would be a nice testout as well.

So by old wiki which one do you mean, as osx86.wikidot.com doesn't seem to have anything about vmware

no the osx86 project one...... - the one thats linked with insanely - would post a lind but im to lazy

PS: my installs done, im rebooting as we speak... ill post soon

Ok well, It installed fine, now im getting a blinking cursor, witch cant be good!..... trying some fixs.. post back soon

finaly got it working..... put in a custom kernal i used.. . worked with out -legacy..... ill put it on the ftp later.. if you want

[chavonbravo]

if it works w/out -legacy don't that mean we could now have 64-bit instead of 32-bit, hackintosh4life?

[roisoft]

What kind of kernel are you using?

I was using a custom one I edited because they toh dident work, but then I renenmed the partition, so I put the toh back in and it worked fine, 64 bit works - as far as I know, meaning no more -legacy!

Coming soon in rev 2!

- lol movie ad!

THE BETA FOR THE DRIVER IS DONE, NO ACCILERATION, YET! BUT I HAVE CORE IMAGE AND QUAZTS EXTREME SUPPORTED!!!!!! IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME TAKE A LOOK AT MY SCREEN SHOT!

o crap sorry about the caps, i had them on from another post!

Wyatt M.

[timdsmith72]

With the ToH kernel, they must have done some binary hacking, because even though you don't have to do -legacy any more, it's still only running 32 bits.

[megaargon1]

Zephyroth, I am willing to join the beta team and survey the bugs that I encounter along the way. If you please personally invite (via generic e-mail) me that would be great, thanks! I feel every participant who is dealing with Rev.1 should at least have some experience with Rev.2 before it officially comes out. When is the official Rev.2 slated to release? Many are anxious to download and install on their machines. Thank you!

[Xxp/TuX]

Oh man!...I do not know what are you doing but, a 64 bits kernel? lol... Keep working then:good luck!!! :D

[eard]

wow thats cool wyatt
i think you are helping to improve the osx's installations =)
cya men, good job

[k3nny]

@Authorhackintosh4life:

Nice work. I see you used Slice's files.. i - too - have a 200m chipset and i wish you good luck.
If you need someone to test something, ill do it. Yeah, thats the standard sentence .. dont ban me :D
BTW: The screenshot shows 128mb for the chipset. Does it really use 128mb ?

[roisoft]

"64 bit enabled" ? I donīt think so, please post the geekbench results here or take a picture of the system start...

When the Acpiplatform load the system shows if 64 bit is enabled or not, take a picture please, and post it here, it would be awesome if the 64 bit mode is enabled only editing the mach_kernel..

[Puttabong]

Start GeekBench 64 Bit, Wyatt. It's most likely going to tell you that this architecture isn't supported for your system.

as I said earlier i started out with slice's files but since they were hard for the noob's to use I took slices and added more so its more like mine now! :D hahaha... As for testing YES PELASE!! I need all the testers with the 200m/x200/1100 - PS: anyone with dev id - 5975 i want testers for that! but i would need to you go on irc or msn, for testing.
and it use's 128 mb yes. im working on a way to use the full 256 mb (thats what mine is) but so far it just gives a white screen.

Wyatt M.

As for geek bench, let me pull that up, posting later

[Xxp/TuX]

Puttabong:Start GeekBench 64 Bit, Wyatt. It's most likely going to tell you that this architecture isn't supported for your system.

You are right: no matter what you do,that is the message that you will receive (at least until now). Hey Wyatt, do not forget to post a picture...

Ok might be a while, i killed my install trying to do some hexing........ gotta reinstall...... ill post back soon.... what do you think i should do? wait 5 hours for the internel HD or 1.5 hours for the external?

[DoiX]

1.5 on the external :))

[Xxp/TuX]

The external HD:1.5 hr of course...

Hello!

I'm a total n00b to most of this and I'd like to help out. I've got an MSI S271 that I'd really like to get Leo on; It's got an ATI1150 (dev id 5975) How can I help?

I have time and hardware available to hack around with this...

JWB-VT

[megaargon1]

Is it Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD Rev.2 yet?

[naquaada]

Hy folks, wasn't in for along time... which version is actual?

Zephyroth: Could you check the PS/2 kexts? ApplePS2Keyboard, ApplePS2Mouse, ApplePS2Trackpad directly in the Extensions folder are version 1.x and in ApplePS2Controller.kext/Plugins they are again, but in version 2.0. ApplePS2Keyboard is loaded twice in my system, maybe they interfear.
About Audio: Has anybody an idea why it's only 48kHz and not 44,1 what is mostly used? Why wasn't audio detected in System Profiler ever?

[zephyroth]

I'm on it ... I've just installed 10.5.2 Rev.1 and I had some trouble to get my PS2 and USB keyboard to be recognized.
As you see it's fixed.

Some more job to do but nothing really annoying at the moment.

[megaargon1]

I'm lovin' It
