[float=right]iDeneb has recently been updated to v1.3. This new version includes the latest Mac OS X 10.5.5 update as well as a few fixes and driver updates.

iDeneb is a Mac OSX Leopard release modified by Layne and iHackintosh Team, to run on non-Apple computers. This universal release can run on both Intel and AMD based machines. The current version, iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, has EFI support, though it cannot boot on older machines due the lack of Non-EFI boot. However, this drawback has been worked out with the Chameleon bootloader which can be installed on SSE2 computers.

iDeneb v1.3 can be found throughout the usual channels. Support and further information about this release can be found at the official iDeneb site (ideneb.i hackintosh.net/index.php/lang-en/homepage.html).

Field Note #1 @naquaada 2008-09-28

Here are already problems with that image:

- It optically differs from a retail disc: Changed background pic, changed readme and so on. In the system there's also a custom pic in 'About this Mac'. A resulting problem: because they replaced the background pic, the standard back/purple 'Aurora' pic is not anymore available on this version.

- My nForce4 IDE DVD-ROM is not shown in Disk Utility in the unpatched version. Don't know if it's important, only wanted to write it down.

- The ATI Radeon X1600 drivers won't work with cards which have the ID 0x71c2 (Radeon X1600Pro, X1650). Both AGP and PCI-E drivers will show you only a black screen with mouse pointer after installation. ATIinject doesn't work snice 10.5.3, it needs the 10.5.2 drivers.

- The installation volume won't be marked active: I'm installing on partition 2 for testing, but it tries to boot from partition one. Because it's empty I get the 'apple.com.Boot.plist not found' error.

- The 'About this Mac' Fix is not included,it still shows 'unknown CPU'.

Personal result: The best image is still Leo4All V3.

Field Note #2 @prudenth 2008-09-28

This version don't boot with my specs . "Waiting for root device" error

Field Note #3 @naquaada 2008-09-28

There's a patch available, but you have to use the PPF tool. I presume I would have the same same problem If I used an IDE HD.

Field Note #4 @eTron 2008-10-31

Still waiting on root device

And it's not an Nforce board

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0
Via Chipset
SATA DVD and HD

Field Note #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-10-31

I got everything working on a Lenovo R61 Thinkpad except for Audio Jack Output. I believe it is a AD1984, and PCWiz apparently is planning to offer this in his upcoming release. I am excited and look forward to testing that out. =)

Field Note #6 @Flip260z 2008-11-21

I am looking for a good version to put on my Lenovo R61 Thinkpad. It looks as if you have already nailed it. My question is whether or not you were able to get all the drivers off this dvd or somewhere else.

Field Note #7 @GRoMeSTeR 2008-11-27

I was able to boot up to the part where I can format or create a partition on the drive but the HD utility could not find or list the drive of the laptop.

Laptop : HP Pavilion 2620US
Chipset: i think its MCP67
Video card: NVidia 7150 Go…

Field Note #8 @nfoav8or 2008-11-27

hmm. the MCP76 is known to work with this release. I think you should make sure your chipset is the MCP67 first... or you can reinsert the kext into the iso and repair permissions and then forceload them when booting up again... or you can just try to forceload the already made iso file when booting.

Field Note #9 @Kabooka 2008-12-12

works very well with my Q6600
Ga-G31-S2l
nVidia 9600GT

Audio & GFX card needed patches and drivers apart from that everything worked OOB

Field Note #10 @rafaelf 2008-12-13

Lenovo R61

WinLinMac,

Can you made a step-by-step with the patches and configuration of your bios?

Until now… very tks!

@naquaada- The ATI Radeon X1600 drivers won't work with cards which have the ID 0x71c2 (Radeon X1600Pro, X1650). Both AGP and PCI-E drivers will show you only a black screen with mouse pointer after installation. ATIinject doesn't work snice 10.5.3, it needs the 10.5.2 drivers.

How to fix my x1650 with 10.5.5 do you have any hints ? QE/CI stopped working after 10.5.3 and dont have a clue how to fix it ...

Field Note #12 @nfoav8or 2008-12-15

if you still have the install DVD that is 10.5.2 and can find the kext file mentioned, just save this one and use it to replace the ones from 10.5.3 and up.

@pocopicoHow to fix my x1650 with 10.5.5 do you have any hints ? QE/CI stopped working after 10.5.3 and dont have a clue how to fix it ...

Just for the reference, you need both 10.5.2 drivers AND OpenGL Framebuffer to make your Sapphire X1650 Pro 256MB (71c6) Work with QE/CI Enabled...

WoW it took me a very long time to find it though ...

I managed to solve my QE/CI problem on my Sapphire ATI X1650 256MB (71c6) this way :

- Installed Kalyway from scratch and checked the Natit X1000 Installer is selected
- Upgraded with Apple Graphics Update

At this level everything was working fine ... resolutions and everything without ATIinject or Natit or EFI strings ...

Took those kexts to my 10.5.5 installation and damn ... they do not work… scratched my head for a few hours and had a bunch of reboots ... till i remembered the OpenGL framework … so i copied it over my 10.5.2 installation and BOOM ! it works …

Something must have changed in newer OpenGL framework that messes up the support for this card ! So go grub your self all drivers for 71c6 and Framebuffer from here :

media fire.com/?sharekey=810792c...2c067d49a7c5fe8

Extract files

copy Open* to /System/Library/Frameworks
copy the kexts to your /System/Library/Extensions directory
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

I've got ATIinject and Natit installed both at the same time but i dont thing this helps anyway ...

Enjoy...

Field Note #15 @jazZbaR 2008-12-16

if anybody know, how to inject the sb700 kext in the iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 dvd? i found a how to on infinitemac wiki, but there isn´t an extension folder under system/library. so i tried this guide http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=67713 ↗

but it doesn´t work. the installation takes 2 - 3 hours and after that: still waiting for root device. i moved the sb700 kext from an another install dvd to the extensions folder and repairpermissions.
