after a long time of fooling around I finally edited my AppleVIAATA.kext and was able to make my SATA drives boot.
Now what I want to do is throw that .kext into the original .iso and reburn it so I can now install Zephs Leopard on my SATA drive.
Using Transmac, I cannot seem to find the .kext file anywhere in the 10.5.2 .iso. Could someone point out where it may be?

Also, Where in AppleAC97Audio.kext (Which info.plist) do I edit to add my DevID because I believe that's the case. Is it in Plugins? If so, which one should I edit because I edited a couple and my OSX crashed.

Already is checked... still can't find it for the life of me.

When I add my Realtek AC97 Audio Codec devid to any of the plugin packages my OSX crashes... what the heck.
Devid is 0x545510B9

VIAATA Worked great for my sata when I added the device id to the .plist

any help?

Giving me that error whenever I run hdiutil attach /"Leopard file" -readwrite

My input is correct and I am root at the time.
getting that error for some reason

roisoft, I somehow screwed up my Mac partition.. All I have is windows. Is there a way to do this process with transmac or any other program?

Field Note #1 @gipo 2008-02-27

Set in preferences of transmac to show hidden files...

Field Note #2 @roisoft 2008-02-27

go HERE ↗

there´s no extensions folder in 10.5.2 ...you need extract the extensions.mkext from 10.5.2, inject your kext and rebuild again this file, when the install finishes you need copy this file again into /system/library/extensions because the kext copied from leopard dvd is the original kext placed into install pkg and not yours.

Field Note #3 @roisoft 2008-02-27

replace /system/library/extensions/ionetworkingfamily.kext/contents/macos/ionetworkingfamily with this file (tiny url.com/27frv7), reboot with -f and try again, don´t forget repair the permissions (chmod/chown)
