Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI (OOTB)

once it is uploaded to a newsgroup, is it automaticly searchable?

Thanks for putting it on Newsgroups. I got a Easynews account and I try to get everything from there first because of the download speed. This DVD would take about a hour or more to download using P2P Bittorrent technology. I could get it in about 25 minutes using Easynews

random question am i going to be able to upgrade from 10.4.10?

yes you should be able to

[cite] laxattack:random question am i going to be able to upgrade from 10.4.10?

granted i want to try it on an empty HD first but once all goes well on that i will install over tiger

Zephyroth, how muvh longer is there for the upload. can you please give us special procedures to locate the file on the web? thank you.

[cite] Puttabong:subsonic, I experienced the slow loading as well, so I just restarted Apache! Please tell me if it's better!

Way better now =) Thank you

@Zephyroth, who will be the first ones to acquire the image?

LOL. I mean like after he uploads will we be able to immediately download, or it will take some time?

[cite] roisoft:Apple store, of course!

the testers already have it, so this should be available to all of us once we sub to a newsgroup ? I'll sub for a single month fee!

Zeph said it will be uploaded to newsgroups first, then torrents.

that I do not know?… unless it named "Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI " I'm searching for that until I hear otherwise

looks like the band is all here. is this a groundbreaking ceremony? lol

are you serious? then torrents, why not just do the public a favor and upload to torrents first? What is the purpose of the newsgroups if we have to subscribe? correct me if I am wrong,

[cite] StealthMode:Zeph said it will be uploaded to newsgroups first, then torrents.

I'm on it LOL.

[cite] 1207FX:looks like the band is all here. is this a groundbreaking ceremony? lol

I personally don't like the Idea either.

FTP -> Torrent -> Newsgroups -> Public Backup Storage (like esnips)

Why not like that? There are better ways to spread the image to the public!

is there anyway the newsgroups can later become available in torrent format, or is it not possible? seems like Zephyroth is going to be leaving on his system for a pretty long time, how pointless is that, save your time zephyroth and please use uTorrent to create a torrent and upload online so we all can download at the same time, thanks.

Why Newsgroups? Because we can test it faster because of the high download speed from newsgroup servers!

[cite] 1207FX:the testers already have it, so this should be available to all of us once we sub to a newsgroup ? I'll sub for a single month fee!

the beta tester have only the 10.5.1 RC2

you're right, seeing everyone logged into the forums just to get the "go." Seeing megaargon online just makes me laugh even more...probably throwing a party in the backyard, IMAO
Have a virtual party with @megaargon

edit:
one of the administrators deleted our posts about the upload speeds 1207FX, took it too seriously as well, LOL

Updated: you're right, , but seems like our comments are being censored, LOL

Puttabong

someone nameless has cleaned us up it seems winlinmac (that is funny puttabong) lol you know he loves doing that

(stopped posting stupid text, didnt know lol)

Feel free to keep on posting guys, just try not to overheat the server, lol

Hey puttabong, there´s something in the air, …lol

If this was Bestbuy we'd all look retarded…tents and all

yeah...its cold where I am, need some of that fire, LOL , sitting outside of the server room, waiting for Zephyroth's image to be uploaded onto the torrents.

How much longer? I'm feeling it too.

I found this cool software called bitlet.org (locates zephyroth's image's metafile and downloads the whole image as if you were downloading the file straight from its main source (website).

ohhh...:-p is there any update with 10.5.2 yet? I just noticed that Zephroth changes the forum name to Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 "AMD," and made a new category for discussion called 10.5.2.

Good news. Anyways I won't bother downloading because of my chipset as last time it wouldnt boot after install.

you know in all my years of computing i have never used newsgroups how do i?

I'll wait for the torrent. DL thousands of pieces from a newsgroup is a PITA. If the news servers suck there are always missing pieces.

laxattack, neither have I

---

Cleaned up all these rumours, you should only pay attention to zephyroth's declarations, if you want to rely on the truth.

Haven't seen Zephyroth in the vicinity for some time. Is he asleep right now? What is the status of the upload?

[cite] Puttabong:laxattack, neither have I --- Cleaned up all these rumours, you should only pay attention to zephyroth's declarations, if you want to rely on the truth.

Sorry, I'm "spilling the beans" - I just stumbled across the upload

alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

for those of you who haven't discovered it already.

It's yEnc so what do I use as a newsgroup reader? MS Entourage won't decode yEnc will it?

On my news server it's up to "part019.rar" there are 154 segments in each "part"... Haven't seen how many total "parts" - 10.5.1 was 72, wasn't it? Probably more than that...

subsonic, I believe told me about Newsgroup Commando,

can't configure nor get list through alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

When is the torrent going to appear? Any idea?

Zeph has been editing/adding info about the upload status in the first of his post this discussion

14/73

is this for the torrent or for the newsgroup?
How big is each part on average? I see there are 73 parts.

[cite] 1207FX:Zeph has been editing/adding info about the upload status in the first of his post this discussion 14/73

What is your upload speed? Please let us know, thanks.

Are you periodically updating your first post to let us know how many parts have been uploaded thus far?

[cite] zephyroth:The installation works fine on my system except the "temacs crash".

I've added the SystemProfiler fix (SPPlatformReporter, SPiPlatformReporter, SPMemoryReporter) and replace "translate" from…

Newsgroups aren't hard. I've never used them but I managed to find the upload as well.

First you want to verify you have usenet access...I'd first check to see what your ISP offers, though chances are it's slow and a tiny bandwidth limit.
You can obtain it from several places pretty cheaply (I got 20gb or 30 days for $10)
I choose Easynews but like I said I signed up today so I'm unsure how they compare - seemed like a fair price and decent reviews. I make no warranties or claims - I've also heard of GIganews and Usenext. Know nothing about them.

Next you need a client. Some mail clients handle binary downloads better than others. I'm actually using a trial of Forte Agent. It seemed pretty complicated to me at first but I'm figuring it out. I've downloaded 18 parts already...

Anybody that has more experience can probably help more. I just wanted to help someone get started. I didn't think it would work out but...yay initiative!

How many parts have been uploaded so far? 18gb? Who will be uploading the torrent file, and when will it be available?
I tried using Newsgroup commando, but I can't access the link alt.binaries.mac.cd-images. Any other ways? Thanks.

While Zephyroth is still offline from this forum, can somebody please take his place for now and give us a periodic status at how many parts are left? Thank you.

I have through part 19 downloaded.

It looks like 20, 21, and 22 are currently being uploaded in pieces.

Note that that might just be what my usenet server is providing me - he could be farther along - I am not an expert!

I agree. 10.5.1 worked flawlessly on my system until "I" caused it to purposely crash, because of Zephyroth's next release that is currently being uploaded .

[cite] Puttabong LohnenNicht, zephyroth's releases work perfect on almost every AMD machine. All you need is a little Brain to tweak it according to your hardware.

you don't mind sharing your account information with us, right? I can give you can e-mail address to PM too, you know.

I'm also new into this, just like you but here is my little "tutorial" to get things working (PC users only, don't know about MAC users)

1 - Download one program called GrabIt at "she mes.com"
2 - Go to "asti news.de/xtest" and put your e-mail there to receive an server username and pass to connect to usenet (it is a free account but will do the job)
3 - Check your e-mail and take note of your Reader, Username and Password that you received from astinews
4 - Install GrabIt and use the infos from astinews to start usenet
5 - Inside GrabIt, go to GrabIt Usenet Search and search for "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it to your list...
6 - After that, still in GrabIt go to Articles and at the end of the list you'll see the files to download... just right click them and "Grab Selected Articles"

If you have questions, go to mIRC... There you'll find a lot of good people that helped me with all this...

Thanks, by the way, what is your current download speed?

Tutorial for Mac:

1. Download Unison (pa nic.com/unison/)
2. Go to "asti news.de/xtest" and sign up for a Free Account
3. Check your E-Mail
4. Install Unison and enter the Login information that you received to your E-Mail by Astinews
5. Search for the Newsgroup "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it
6. Search for the files by zephyroth and start downloading

You know I can't be sure exactly (can't locate an indicator)

FAST though.

I just got another 50mb chunk in less than 1 minute.

I have an account for usenet, so is this uploaded on usenet

Grabit Says that I have reached my search limit(s) for the day. What's up with that? Any other alternative available?

yes it is

[cite] 1207FX:I have an account for usenet, so is this uploaded on usenet

Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD released yet? If so where can I download it? thepiratebay.org?

Check the Announcement at the Front Page of the Forums.

[cite] VyperX:Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD released yet? If so where can I download it? thepiratebay.org?

If you want to download via torrent you'll have to wait a little more... If you want it in the next 10 hours (more or less) you must try usenet

Torrents shouldn't take that long. I'm on an OC192 and am willing to seed...

It took me about 10 minutes to download the first 23 parts using Usenet.

can somebody please make an account for me? i made a new email called [email protected] if somebody can please place my email address in asti news.de/xtest and have my info emailed to me that would greatly appreciate it. This is because I have used my daily limit in grabit with my existing account, and thus, need a new one. thanks,.

winlinmac your ip was logged, i think there is no use to make another account

I got him one. Hurry up and get this on the bay, i've got enough upload bandwidth to host a small country

oh darn. Any other alternative besides grabit?

newsbin I tried, but not all of the results were displayed. some lagging

Looks like my news server is up to part 28, but I still can't find a newsreader that'll do yEnc and stay connected to my server...

cgsheen can you confirm if the first file is 28mb?

i'm using newsbin, but don't know where the 29 files are downloading, lol. help please if possible, thanks

I am totally confused. Where's an Idiot's guide to usenet when you need one. Lol.

I created an account in asti news.de/xtest. I then download a bunch of programs like Newsbin Pro, UsenetGrab, Binjet, and Grabit. Couldn't get any program to work with it. I then found a free newserver called Dissenter (dise nter.com) and I couldn't get any program to work with that as welll. I know I am doing something wrong, so if anyone out there has anything for me I would really appreciate it. If not, I will just have to wait for the torrents (something I can actually download And if some people think that I am just writing this because I am too lazy to look this up, I am not, I have looked for this for about 3 hrs.

Thanks, A lot to everyone and thanks goes to you Zeph for finishing your masterpiece.

UPDATE: 30 parts are uploaded thus far in total
where are my files downloaded? to what directory?

there should be a default folder they are saved to, by the newsreader prog. I have tried 3 so far and grabit it haulinass it is much easier than the others

Please dont think I can help, I am flying by the seat of my pants as the rest of you are, I mean I just got used to using torrent clients lolol

30 parts buddy

ZEPHYORTH, can you also list the file sizes for each part as you upload them? I just to make sure that I am downloading the actual file(S). THanxs or if someone else wants to help please do so.

Files are 50M each.

I am just wondering is the Nforce driver included in this release as i didn't see it noted in the announce.

Zephyroth thank you very much for the hard work you are doing.

im usin grabit downloading at 448 KB/s i have downloaded parts 1-27,30-33. but rar files 28-29 don't show up when i load the group articles. whats goin on? any help would be great. i update the group as well so i don't know whatsup.

They're made up of 152 "messages" which are each about 325KB. So one "part" of the .rar (archive) is about 50MB. Your newsreader holds the "files". Some newsreaders combine and decode the messages automatically and save the "attachments" as files. Sometimes you have to do that manually once the newsreader has downloaded all the messages that belong to a certain "part". In the end the newsreader should have all the individual .rar files that made up the upload. You then use an unarchiver to assemble the .rar's and build the .iso file inside them...

really? I have some files that are 25, and some that are as low as 11.67 and high as 53. Is there something wrong? I have not figured where the files are being saved yet.

[cite] mentos:Files are 50M each. I am just wondering is the Nforce driver included in this release as i didn't see it noted in the announce. Zephyroth thank you very much for the hard work you are doing.

open grabit preferences and you'll find were are your downloaded files...

so i have to compile the .rar files into an iso. or is there a .iso extracted from the rars?

braindead803, the iso can be extracted from the rar parts.

@Puttabong i gotta question. i got all the recent rar files but 28+29 what happened to those? I have updated the group and everything the articles will not show 28+29 so whats up?

Well this is good news...Ill sit back and wait for a torrent- i got 10.5.2 installed with graphics update / efi/ 9.2.0 kernel/ itunes fix, and everything is just great! so im in no hurry to start over, lol...

[cite] WinLinMac01:really? I have some files that are 25, and some that are as low as 11.67 and high as 53. Is there something wrong? I have not figured where the files are being saved yet. [cite] mentos:Files are 50M each. I am just wondering is the Nforce driver included in this release as i didn't see it noted in the announce.…

@WinLinMac
I doubt that's correct. The tools that most people use to create the ".rar" parts and carve everything up & yEnc them in a suitable fashion to be uploaded properly and consistently to newsgroup messages are pretty consistent. Just looking at the messages, they all seem pretty close to the same size and every "part" consists of 152 messages. All the "...partxxx.rar" 's should be pretty much the same size.

28 and 29 are incomplete on my server

30-33 are all there and 34-36 are still being uploaded

I've only got half of what's available and I've already got 2 "parts" that have CRC errors.
I hate newsgroups... I'm going to bag this until the bay is up. (I'd like to kick the guy who said "put it up on a newgroup! torrents are too slow!") 10.5.2 is half-way to being up on the newsgroups - then someone has to put it up on a BT...

all my .rars are 53,000 and some change. I'll let ya know when I get to 28 & 29 if they download correctly

I have now from 01 to 37 but missing 28 and 29... All others are just ok

CGSHEEN, you should try downloading those again...

Is there a way to tell GrabIt to automatically add new files to the batch?

I don't want to sit in front of my computer all the time

Like i said, the sooner someone kicks it to the bay, the sooner I seed on my oc192...

you cant download 28 and 29, they have not been uploaded yet… maybe zeph is being a little cute and saving them for the last 2?

LOL

Dont know what the big deal is. But the newsgroups are the fastest and cheapest bandwidth there is. i get 1.5megs on my server. When the torrent gets up on tbp or anywhere else it will be chugging along with all the lechers and I bet dollars to doughnuts no one that doesn't know how to use usenet has access a oc192. Also about 28 and 29 they are partly uploaded 28 is missing 41 of its 152 parts: 95 97 98 101 103 104 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140

And 29 is missing 18 of its 152 parts: 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 18 35 36 49 50 59 63 64 66 67

Be patient it will be up before tomorrow.

guys, how can I connect to this newsgroup using SeaMonkey (os x)?
i tryed anything but no success…

here is an idea? one could upload/seed the the rars as they get them?

seren - my objections to usenet are moral, not technical, in nature.

I will have to agree that all of the .rar files need to be nearly the same size. So I only download the files that are labeled as new/idle only right? Incompletes I disregard for now?

Attached: here is a picture of how the file's current statuses look on my side. download attachment

what usenet clients do "you" recommend for this kinds of hefty download? Newsbin is giving my all incompletes.

Zephyroth, I'm seeing that the total image size is roughly 3.7GB in size. Was there anything that was stopping you from including the extensions folder? A typical single-DL is 4.7GB.

@ seren, it was a suggestion to some that have higher upload, I AM NOT asking for me, im good, I dont have to be patient, tyvm…downloading anyway!

@WinLinMac01

If you take a peek in one of parts, you can see that iso is as big as 4.4GB which is a full DVD… 4,7GB is labeled on discs because manufacturers tend to count 1MB = 1000b and if you count it as 1024b as normal, you'll get that DVD is 4,4GB

[cite] WinLinMac01:Zephyroth, I'm seeing that the total image size is roughly 3.7GB in size. Was there anything that was stopping you from including the extensions folder? A typical single-DL is 4.7GB.

Dude, I'm sure the .iso is compressed as much as possible for upload - that's what a RAR is (like a .ZIP file).

[cite] WinLinMac01:what usenet clients do "you" recommend for this kinds of hefty download? Newsbin is giving my all incompletes.

That probably isn't as much your newsreader as your news SERVER...

Hey, I remember from 10.5.1 that I couldn't burn the .rar's and had to extract them all, get the final .iso and burn it. But still had no luck booting from the DVD.

Is this one (parts) already up somewhere, as I cannot find it. I looked on a few placed and I don't see even part1/2/3 or w/e. Or is this just me?

Zephyroth is up to the 46th file (it just keeps getting closer)

is unison easy? Puttabong, can you show your images for Unison?

@Jare
Ya, they're up including Zeph's original posts and the "PAR" file.
On my news server everything is complete 1 thru 46 are complete with the exceptions of parts 28 & 29 which are still incomplete...

So can someone link me to start downloading? (Not usenet plZ)

[cite] cgsheen:@Jare Ya, they're up including Zeph's original posts and the "PAR" file. On my news server everything is complete 1 thru 46 are complete with the exceptions of parts 28 & 29 which are still incomplete...

do you know what is this .par file? If you know, could you explain it to me? Thanks!

The par file is used to repair rars im working on repairing 28 and 29 par is the god of rar archives and usenet binaries

edit
nope cant recover them not enough par files to recover with should be fine im not worried,

really? Excluding the 13, are the rest of the .rar files complete?
So far, I am assuming that 60 files have been uploaded right?

Zephyroth must have been awake for the past 24 hours. Zephyroth, when you are done, do yourself a favor, when you are done, congratulate yourself, and go to sleep, or else your computer will give you a nightmare. Must be tired now, heh? Thank you very much for your strong efforts.

[cite] 7th:13 more to go =)

For anyone who doesn't know how to use Newsgroups or doesn't want to mess with a client just sign up to www.easynews.com. You can browse and download everything using your web browser. No need to download tons of headers.

Help, I'm using newsbin and I cannot figure out what server this is being uploaded at?

do me a favor and throw newsbin out of the window. I can't even trace the directory where my files are being stored.

[cite] Jare:Help, I'm using newsbin and I cannot figure out what server this is being uploaded at?

[cite] WinLinMac01:where are we at now for the upload status? anyone?

45 files (2.15 GB) / 73 files (3.46 GB) available

43/73 is the last update from zeph

correction, by my news thingy it says 49 in uploaded and 50 n 51 are in progress

So what prog do I use? I've never used usenet before.

use unison for mac, and grabit for pc, or simply use knews

the one I have is "grabit", works wonderfully it also shows you a download folder in the taskbar of the program

yes, I do not know where the cheapest is, but I got one thru newsrazor.net 10 bux

you can get a free aCCOUNT just flip back a couple pages in this discussion

[cite] Jare:Btw what server do I put in for GrabIT?

free? come the F*** on…I missed that one like evidentally...lol

[cite] Jare:So what prog do I use? I've never used usenet before.

[cite] Jare:Btw what server do I put in for GrabIT?

[cite] 1207FX:yes, I do not know where the cheapest is, but I got one thru newsrazor.net 10 bux

Like I said earlier. WWW.EASYNEWS.COM… $9.95 a month for 20GB and it's all web based. No need for a client. Use their search feature and look for "Leopard AMD", check all the parts and add them to you zip slot, download and extract ISO and burn. Simple and its all web based

I can't afford to pay for anything (no credit card). ANY other way? I looked through this whole topic.. no free shit.

Looks like it pays to know a little about these "news"

wish I had known before I bought mine

1207FX:

Did you get a free account? I'm desperately trying.

no sir, I payed for mine as well. sorry for the not so good news

[cite] Jare:I can't afford to pay for anything (no credit card). ANY other way? I looked through this whole topic.. no free shit.

Go to page 6 of this threat and read any of the 2 tutorials there or go to mIRC to learn how to do it for free...

Better go to page 6 =P

I was going to quote him from page six, but not sure how…states that it is a FREE account also

I read it, and understand it is free, but I paid already. it is FREE yes I know

[cite] 1207FX:I was going to quote him from page six, but not sure how…states that it is a FREE account also

IT IS FREE! Don't know why people are still paying for this =\
Just follow what is found into page 6 and it will work and, once more, FOR FREE!

Loading the group.. in grabit

Doesn't go any farther.

You won't regret it, but UNISON is the way to go. Installed 10.5.1 apple leopard on my system again and using that to download everything. it is so reliable, all of the files are downloading into one. 56 files so far, does any one know how I have to download the rest of the files, how would I do so?

You must wait a little bit more cause Zeph is still uploading the parts that are missing... I think that more 3/4 hours is necessary to upload all the other files... Still missing about 19 files from all 73 files.

Hey if you're trying to get it from newsgroups here is another way of doing it.

1.asti news.de/xtest-put in your email address for a free acount. (somebody already mention this in this forum earlier.)

2.Download NewsbinPro-The trial version-www.newsbin.com-insert the information from your email from astinews.
Your username, password, news group.(reader.astinews.de)-Check mark need password and username when installing NewsbinPro.

3. Once your in NewsbinPro, Go to this website-bins earch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images
10.5.2-AMD from Zeph will be the first on the list click on collections. And you will see up to date all the uploaded files that you can start to download. Click on inverse type .rar but uncheck the incomplete ones 28 and 29.

4. Then click on create NBZ and save to your desktop.

5. Go back to NewsbinPro-And on the menu part next to Save click on the Load NZB Button and open the file you saved on your desktop, and it will automatically start downloading the files part by part.

Thats it!

I am using this method too, but in linux I use klibido..the thing I want to add is that you can download about 12 parts and then
download stops..then you change your IP adress and you can continue downloading.. :)) I downloaded 46 parts or so by now...

Is *part40.rar timing out around 25MB for anyone other than me? All the other parts have downloaded fine so far. I'm using Astinews, as recommended.

Thanks, especially to Zephyroth for making this release!

Hey napanxx I didn't have that problem via Astinews, try it again.

Hey rodjoo I don't have that problem at all with windows xp, I don't have to change my ip address at all.

Its not likely that 28 and 29 are complete, right? One time I did files in a .rar set that seemed incomplete but were actually complete. What do you think? Should we ask Zephyroth? His e-mail address is displayed on the newsgroup you know.

I'm thinking that just maybe it had slipped his mind that 28 and 29 are incomplete and he's just trying finish uploading all of them and then go back maybe...

ran into problems with grabit(probably my doing) but newsbin worked flawlessly just parts 28 29 and 56 are incomplete assuming they will be completed and added later?

Hey snuffy58 part 56 is complete arrording to this website, bins earch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

nice, thank you. part 56 for me seems incomplete, do I skip it for now and download again to retrieve the full file?

[cite] Rajmahal783:Hey snuffy58 part 56 is complete arrording to this website, bins earch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

thats a really good link you gave to us. no need to configure usenet, works flawlessly, where did you find this? amazing, good one. Up to my 59th file, 58 and 57 are also available online, complete according to website.

I am using Unison for Mac. Simply clicked on Zephyroth's 2.71GB folder on the server, and initiated everything. files 28 and 29 I deleted for now whereas 59 I am still coming up for a confirmation that it is complete.

[cite] Rajmahal783:Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

.par?

What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

not sure, seems like you combine them with existing .rar files to get the complete part such as with files 28 and 29.

[cite] Jare:.par? What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

here is the method I used. easy and simply:

for MAC

1. Download Unison (pa nic.com/unison/)
2. Go to "asti news.de/xtest" and sign up for a Free Account
3. Check your E-Mail
4. Install Unison and enter the Login information that you received to your E-Mail by Astinews
5. Search for the Newsgroup "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it
6. Search for the files by zephyroth and start downloading

Jare use this method for new account and downloading purposes:

1 - Download one program called GrabIt at "she mes.com"
2 - Go to "asti news.de/xtest" and put your e-mail there to receive an server username and pass to connect to usenet (it is a free account but will do the job)
3 - Check your e-mail and take note of your Reader, Username and Password that you received from astinews
4 - Install GrabIt and use the infos from astinews to start usenet
5 - Inside GrabIt, go to GrabIt Usenet Search and search for "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it to your list...
6 - After that, still in GrabIt go to Articles and at the end of the list you'll see the files to download... just right click them and "Grab Selected Articles"

If you have questions, go to mIRC... There you'll find a lot of good people that helped me with all this...

[cite] Rajmahal783:Hey WinLinMac01 what method are you using to get it from the newsgroups? Yea you could skip it and go back or try what I did and see if it works for you.

Did it arleady. 5% done d/ling. Answer my .par question

Hey WinLinMac01 LOL I'm glad it's working out really well. I actually ran across it by accident I googled-alt.binaries.mac.cd-images and that what the first site to pop up, and then just did some research to figure out how to download it and of course this forum and I forget the person's name who first said about to set up a free account for newsgroup. But yea google is your friend! lol

LOL@Raj

@Jare, Parchive (or parity volume set archive) is a forward error correction-style system that can be applied to one or more files to allow recovery when data is lost or corrupted. When used with collections of files, some missing files can be regenerated.

Awesome. So I assume the following:

Download, Extract, Burn .iso, install? Is there a topic for what system it works best on?

[cite] WinLinMac01:not sure, seems like you combine them with existing .rar files to get the complete part such as with files 28 and 29. [cite] Jare:.par? What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

I really think you won't need this file... when you have all the 73 files you'll be able to unrar and burn it...

Yes, but what's the deal with files 28 and 29? Also, 62 appears to have stopped at 46,68 MB...

yeah seems more and more are being completed looks to me like once all are completed and in one file then extract it and burn its making sense now .Great fast way to download it though.

Hey HCE I'm not sure about 28 and 29 but 62 is not fully finished that's why it stopped prob. You can see if you look here bins earch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

Download is fast. Every 5 minutes 10 files complete. Sicckkkk

You have to chill with newsgroups...
Sometimes it takes a while to fully "propagate". I'm surprised to see so many complete parts this early. If there are terminally broken parts, Zephy will upload those parts again AFTER it's all up and all the servers have had time to propagate all the pieces. Else he'll include enough .PAR files to repair the broken ones...

Lol yea it's really really good! Brilliant idea! Much much better then a torrent.

28 and 29 files are incomplete! When will be fixed?
can't wait to try it.
nice work Zephyroth! Thanks a lot!

Actually, I believe there are 3 incomplete files in that upload: 28, 29, and 62.

HCE, only 28 and 29 are not completly uploaded yet. We'll have to wait for zephy to show up, then he'll fix it.

Don't worry!

About Usenet: yes, indeed, the speed is lovely. I'm downloading at a stable 1,5 mb/s

1.5mb/s .. Poser

Well, i wish i wouldn't sit in Spain right now. If i were in germany i could download with at least 650kb/s, here in spain i got only 300kb/s =(

subsonic, I'm in Germany, and I wish I was in Spain.

I love the sun! Got enough of Winter now... at least a little spring sun here!

Will someone make a torrent available once Zephyroth has uploaded it all to the news channel thingy?

[cite] Puttabong:subsonic, I'm in Germany, and I wish I was in Spain. I love the sun! Got enough of Winter now... at least a little spring sun here!

I know you're in germany You know what, i live here in spain most of the year, nontheless i'd like to get back to germany. The sun is great .. at least partly (if i look out of the window right in this moment we have grey clouds, no sun and it's damn cold. To be exact 10 C°) Anyways, life isn't what it was 5 years ago. And that's the main reason to move back

[cite] zephyroth today but later)

Thank you so much for your work!
I'm loving this download method too! Way faster than torrents for me

Except it isn't free or helpful to me as this would be the only thing i will download from there! [which is why i'm waiting for the torrent]

Thanks for the great work Zephyroth!

Nothing is free, you still have to pay your internet bill

This is great, getting 600kb/s+ thanks for this.

any other good programs for windows?

i'm new to this whole newsgroup thing...

kuorosh, http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic… ↗

The search within GrabIt isn't necessary. Just visit this link, press "inverse type by rar", then press "create NZB" and save the file to your computer. Open it with GrabIt and you're good to go.

just provide an md5sum after so i can see if its downloaded right!

i'm off anyway...

@7th, I agree with you. This are people that are overheating the server, thus, causing the discussion forum site go down. I've waited 4 HOURS! just to come back to this thread, because people are not reading the entire discussion.

Hey, why wasn't I told about Grabit's procedure (for nonsubscribers) in the beginning? I used newsrover after searching and playing around with other usenet clients. Ah well, at least I download all of the file in one hour excluding parts 28 & 29. LOL

Puttabong: the site is acting up again.

I didn't use the Inverse method rather at the time I manually added the files as they were uploaded by Zephyroth. Does it really matter? Or should I download 3.37GB again? Someone please let me know. Thank you.

Afaik the inverse method only select the not selected checkboxes Nothing to worry about.

[cite] kourosh:just provide an md5sum after so i can see if its downloaded right!

Is it needed?!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i can get the iso form the 73 .rar files, the iso should already be correct... else i wouldn't be able to extract the iso from rar... or do i have to check md5 anyway to be sure it's correct?!

good to hear, thanks.

[cite] subsonic:Afaik the inverse method only select the not selected checkboxes Nothing to worry about.

I would rather wait for the fixed files of 28 29 to be uploaded then extract and make the .iso.

Regarding your question, You may be able to make an .iso with all 73 current files, but a corrupted version.

Please try at your earliest convenience . J.K. Great Job, getting ready to create torrent once fiels are available. Thanks.

[cite] zephyroth:Hi all. I'm not at home right now so if some parts are incomplete I will reupload them later (today but later)

Fully Downloaded and tested. Parts 28 and 29 fully uploaded

Nice work Zephyroth

bins earch.info/browse.php?bg=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images shows that 28 and 29 are complete however it seems that Zeph is uploading is new files "SUBJECT - "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.p01" yEnc (1/152)" is this a new image? I am certain when Zeph checks bak in he will elaborate.

Uh ... I just finished downloading "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.part0xx.rar" (had some errors so I m reloading part 23,55 and 73 again).
What gets me a little confused now,is that binsearch now finds parts called "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.p0x" ...also uploaded by zephyroth ...
Did something went wrong with the first parts or are these the same files ... just with a different name (please say that it is this way... I don t wanna download this whole stuff again)

Hey zeph or anybody how imporant are these par files that you are adding? Are they necessary to download them?

Hey crawle Congrats! What are your specs? Did you have to make any modifications? What options did you choose during installation?

Someone please make things CLEAR!
After one hour of refresh, trying to add par's files(btw was 3 then 4 then 5...) I ended up downloading the hole parts again...
If I download all files again, do I need to use that par files, or this time they are correct?
I really don't understand why that damaged files was not upped in separate place..

Hey THeKing hate to break this to you but you didn't have to download everything again? All you had to do is use the orignal par file zeph put up the first one, download Quick par, and with all the files all in one folder. All the .rar's -73 of them and 1 par, run Quick Par to make sure all 73 files are good and that's it. From there you can extract and burn.

If everything checks out for you no damage files then don't worry about downloading the other .par files.

I just selected the newer ToH-Kernel, MBR-EFI bootloader, NVidia drivers and AC97-Audio. Install went fast (about 20min) and my specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
NVidia Geforce 6600GT
VIA Chipset
400GB ATA IDE
160GB ATA IDE
...

im on astinews trial, downloading with newsbin (win) and parts 28 and 29 are still incomplete.
others seem to get them complete now, but refreshing (even restarting newsbin) still shows them as
incomplete
the .par files are incomplete as well.
so: is it me, astinews or something complete else?

Easy to say...now is 8 par files(p.08 still incomplete...) Wonder how many will be...
BTW it is allready on bay...how when files are still uploading?

WORKING OTB! YOU'RE THE MAN! THANKS! :)))))))))))
Boot from dvd, installed without languages, frozen at the end of the install but pushing a reset, the system booted and everything is working like a charm!

How did you select these options during the install? The "Options" button for me seems to be greyed out for some reason.

EDIT: Figured it out, it's actually on the the next screen. It's the "customize" button i was looking for. I think everyone should go there and select all the options you want it was very easy.

Ok noob question here:

I've installed Zeph's Leopard 10.5.1. I've had a lot of problems but I've managed to get everything to work just fine, OSX runs smoothly on my AMD 4200+, except for my MSI ATI x1650 512mb which doesn't work as well (mouse tears).

Would I benefit from this release? Is it worth installing? Will it solve my ATI problems?

[cite] zuz242:im on astinews trial, downloading with newsbin (win) and parts 28 and 29 are still incomplete. others seem to get them complete now, but refreshing (even restarting newsbin) still shows them as incomplete the .par files are incomplete as well. so: is it me, astinews or something complete else?

it was me / newsreader. i had to refetch all headers.
got everything, now im seeding the iso as well

btw: leo is working "out of the box" for me ;)))

Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD ready to download with torrent?

Will it work on my computer?
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767,
it has 2 gb ram,
AMD turion 64x2 Dual Core Mobile Technology,
250 gb HDD + 80 gb HDD (external),
ATI Radeon X1200,
54g Atherols Wi-Fi (802.11b/g); 10/100 Ethernet; 4 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA,
1 S-Video, 1 ExpressCard 34/54. 5-in-1 memory card reader,
Realtek High Definition Audio ALC268

Any idea on how to get the installation up and running with an S-ATA-DVD (Samsung S203B). Up to now, all I get is this (see attached image)

I installed and have one big problem: can't mount usb drives.
How can i fix this? Is there any workaround for this problem?

My system:
AMD x64 2500+, 1gbyte ram, MSI Nforce motherboard, geforce 7600GT

Any help could be great...

Hey anybody know what command to use to show all your partitions in -s, the diskutil..something. It shows the identity of each drive. I installed 10.5.2 on a USB hardrive and I'm trying to get it to boot, any suggestions?

Anyone else notice the long wait time to boot the installer from -x? Tried to boot it regularly and got a no smoking sign (without the smoke) on the apple logo.

Finally the release has arrived. I think I was among the first to download and extract. DVD works fine, one interesting thing I noticed was that the instalallation was half way through, I moved my mouse cursor and the progress bar jumped towards near completion. Hopefully this is not an error. For some reason, after the installation I get an error message in regards to my system error.

@Puttabong, can you please do something about this discussion site. At times, it becomes "extremely" slow and remains inaccessible at time. Is there another alternative such as opening a new forum @ proboards.com?

Thank you very much Zephyroth.

Do I have to customize my instalallation? What if I just click install, any risks?
I'm attempting another install, what is really odd is the fact that when install is in progress at 11 minutes remaining my cursor dissapears and the progress bar does not move. If I move the mouse, the cursor reappears and the bar jumps to back to the current state. What is happening hear? Help please, thank you.

WinLinMac01 if you don't customize the installation you will be running the old kernel and no EFIA

How should I customize it then? What are the standard options?

I have an nvidia video card, chipset, ac'97 audio, do I select the whole thing?

I can open you guys a forum with ipb 2.x.x with my license if I can get staff.

no no the type of video card you have the specific number and the same with the audio, select the new kernel 9.2.0 and EFI MBR Bootloader

I'll join. There is also something called proboards.com.

[cite] Jare:I can open you guys a forum with ipb 2.x.x with my license if I can get staff.

how do you think I address the weird lag in my instalaltion? At 11mins, the progress bar freezes, if I move the mouse, it moves again? My HD activity shows that is is installaing.

since i used grabit. and it extracted all the rar files into a folder with the iso does that mean all checks out for me? I am able to burn the dvd iso but i get stuck on the same screen as 7eventh as my system reboots. does anybody know why or what i need to do to change this? (right now i am downloading the torrent which will be done prolly in a few days to see if there was a problem within the downloads of the rar files from usenet)

Thanks for the release zephyroth.

Hey I hear Zephy forgot to put the medevil kext so you get a "waiting for root device" error. Where do I find it?

Still trying. Is there a known problem for SATA HDs in this release?

[cite] Rajmahal783:Hey WinLan did it work ok installing Leopard on a SATA Hardrive

Are any of you facing problems with the installation with SATA HDs? What about the progress bar that freezes? Did any of you have you move the mouse cursor to see the progress bar moving again?

to enter verbose mode during darwin boot press F8 and at "boot:" type -v then enter

HEY RAJ! IT WORKS, FINALLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR OPTIONS HELPED A LOT. KUDOS. I'M LOVIN' IT, LOL. keep up the great work Zephyroth.

[cite] Jare:-v or -f -v

Zephyroth said that our processors will finally be automatically detected. Whatever happened to that? Also why is my taskbar still transclucent? Any idea?

Quicktime and iLife support still show up on my Update List. Why?

I can't get it to boot. "Verifying DMI pool data..." I set the partition as active. And the DVD gives me "still waiting for root device" error. I need that medevil kext .. HELP?

I've got all the .rar and extract the iso. Md5 is correct. Burned the dvd at the lowest speed.
I created the "unallocated" partition with diskpart in XP.
Then booted from dvd, -v, ereased Leopard partition with disk utility to Mac OS Extended, choose custom installation with no "check" sign in kernel drivers language, x11... just the files for the plain OS. Installation went fine without stop. Rebooted correctly.
Booting from HDD gives me "Chain booting error_" ("_" is blinking).

CPU: AMD 3500+ SSE2 only
Mobo: Asrock 939NF6G-VSTA (Bios 1.40)
HDD: IDE

I'm using Chain0 Method with XP, being the boot.ini correctly edited and XP the active partition.
Leopard as active partition won't solve the problem.
10.5.1 for AMD worked with this system (Replaced the original kernel with a sse2 kernel).

Maybe Darwin is missing.
Now i'm gonna try booting the dvd with F8 and then mach_kernel rd=disk*s* -v -legacy -x

Here are some of my screenshots. Working smoothly, just skeptic about the Updates that are available for download and translucent bar.

Here are some of my screenshots. Working smoothly, just skeptic about the Updates that are available for download and translucent bar. I had to change my processor info manually. Why? I don't know.

Just curious, I can't boot using GUID and the GUID EFI boot loader, I originally had a b0 error, so I made the partition active, rebooted with no b0 error, but instead it does nothing.
Does GUID not work or is it just my system?

Yep, this does the trick

Encountered my first problem. Restarted my computer for the first time, and boot loader did not automatically show up as Zephyroth previously reported that it would. Instead, now it stay at the Boot from CD prompt, and cannot access the partition. Now what? Partition is not bootable. This is really upsetting. I thought Zephyroth and the beta team addressed these issues before this release was officially released. Whats up with this now? Hello? Please respond, thank you.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 ↗ < how to set your partition active.

I tried to use the commands to make my partition bootable, but that does not work at all. My screen remains at Boot from CD. What am suppose to do now? Thanks.

About those with "Still waiting for root device" Please verify you installed the Drivers for your chipset, video, LAN, audio, via the "Customize" Button Left of the "Install" button. If you are still getting this error. List the Drivers you installed, what drive your installing to the configuration of this drive (master/slave and channel) Also list your motherboard, video, and LAN. If possible please provide any screen shots. Im hoping we can get this all worked out without needing a patch.

I would also like to know if anyone else is having problems with Nforce LAN freezing the whole os .. As I am. Also cant get Toast to run and QE/CI is working ;( ...

Dude you are beyond ungrateful. There is no way Zeph can possible test EVERY system configuration. You have spammed the forums over and over. But you never contribute to the progress and are constantly nagging and demanding for more. It hasn't even been a full day since the image was distributed if you expect it to work 100% on day .5 you are in the wrong place. I'm not trying to troll or start a flamewar. Please have patience.

I agree Seren. He kept asking when will it be released…when, when, when. Now it's released and seemingly not 100% tested and he's complaining again. Have patience dude. I even read somewhere on this thread that even the beta testers didn't get this release to test. It should have been released to them to test and if all was working then published. Even Apple has to fix errors. That why we are at release 10.5.2. So shut up, be greatful and instead of complaining about the problems find a solution and post it. Other wise if you want no problem installs...go buy a Mac. Geesh.

I am still downloading but wanted to thank Zeph and the Beta testers for all their hard work.

I am not another Megaargon for your information. I am not here to post such nonsense. I know who really did most of the work here. It was told in the beginning that all of these issues would be fixed. So why don't you calm down as well. Geesh. Everybody is having problems as well. I've faced worse with Linux. Patience...Patience...Patience

Just to let you know, I'm seeding as well, so be thankful for that as well...Geesh.

Stealthmode...boot in verbose mode and see if you get a panic. F8 when you see the darwin boot loader and type -v and hit enter. Be quick when you 1st see darwin.

Studied the .iso carefully. I looked at the description of the option in the customize area, and there are a couple of typos for the bootloader. Can this be a sign that there may be other actual errors that are residing that need to be fixed? Is this considered the final release? Just a question of thought. "proud to be a beta tester, " not a biggie really, great efforts zephyroth and the beta team made. As always, thank you. =)

I downloaded the release yesterday and it installed like a charm.Thank you to those that made it available and to Zephyroth!

With 10.5.2 DVD, in the Install process, I cannot find any of my Ultra Wide SCSI disks. When I go to "Disk utilities", I see nothing (No Ultra SCSI disks or DVD player).

Do I need to inject some exotic kext files ?

With the old 10.5.1 DVD, I get a freeze just after "dsmos: Starting..."

First of all, I want to thank Zephyroth again,
what a great job!

Most things work fine, except for my "Time Machine" and "Toast 8";

We are doomed!

Does anyone know if 10.5.2 can be installed on a raid drive.

I see alot of nvdrivers installed
Is there a raid driver to control nvraid of the sata plug?

I see some people are installing it on sata drives.

iero
AFAIK Apple cut off SCSI support at Intel Macs totally after 10.4.1 (my Adaptec Ultra2940U2W card was working only in Tiger 10.4.1 Hack). Did your SCSI controller was working previously or this is your first install?

@ryoken : Thanx for your help.

It's the first install on this computer.

I have another one with SAS drives, it's the same problem.

Seems that everybody uses SATA or IDE ? Strange !

Thanx again for the info,

iero.

Has anybody installed 10.5.2 on a AMD Turion machine yet and gotten it to work? Well more importantly gotten it to boot?

2 iero
AFAIK, for MacOS X to work with SAS drive, you'll need Apple SAS RAID Card (or how is it called correctly, dunno much of this ), which bases at LSI Logic controller. According to specs I fount, your machine have PCI-X 133 controller. I doubt that Apple or controller maker have universal kexts for your hardware (some of kexts ARE PowerPC only for PowerMac's compatibility). That's it . (All this is my IMHO, I'm not a guru in this).

Anybody have the problem when installing, and going into diskutil to partition your drive, the hard drives show up but no dvd's drives show up, like in 10.5.1?

Is a NV raid driver very hard to add , because it needs to be installed first?

I can't see DVD drives in DiskUtility, but I'm never thought this is useful anyway. Mounted Install disk can be seen in Terminal. (sorry my English, not native language . Feel free to correct plz )

@Ryoken : I have a machine with a LSI chipset (LSI Logic® LSISAS1068E 8-port SAS Controller) for SAS : http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-124… ↗

But I cannot see SAS drives neither. i opened a thread about this here osx.kb ot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=309&page=1#Item_3 but SAS is quite recent and I think that I'm quite the only AMD user to try to put leopard on it...

Thanx,

iero.

To anyone having problems with toast i ran marvins utility found in Applications -> Utilities against my root drive and it foung a lot of cpuid's to patch against. Many of them were related to Toast. Once patched Toast ran perfectly.

installation went fine, and I was able to boot into the operating system with the DVD left in. However, upon taking the DVD out, I restarted and I was unable to boot back into the operating system. I tried setting up installation with MBR the first attempt and GUID the second (with it's own designated bootloader for each install attempt). However, neither of them were able to boot. Instead, I was left with Boot from CD screen.
I tried making the partition bootable by following the directions I used for my previous installation (10.5.1), but that did not work. Instead, for GUID, after the Boot from CD screen came up, it felt as it was going to finally boot, however, it went into a blank screen and the system restarted.
Another problem I am having is the fact that when I go into About this Mac, I can't see my processor info as others have said it will. I had to change that information manually. Please let me know what I should do. As always, I thank you very much for your support.

I'm having the same issue. It seems the boot loader never installs.. Once I fix the boot problem, I am left with no boot loader...

Does anybody know about IOKIT? When I boot up after installation and do -V, I can see it getting stuck at IOKIT? Not sure what it is thanks.

I have 2 PCs that 10.5.1 Rev1 worked fine on. However, this dvd doesn't work on both, I get "still waiting for root device" (before installation). I guess this is a problem with AppleNForceATA.kext!?

ok so i reistalled without choosing audio drivers.
Then i used kext helper to easy install ac97 and applehda kexts.
still no sound or sound device recognized.
What am i doing wrong?

@Stealthmode, I fixed the boot problem. My solution was to name my volume in ONLY ONE word, and use MBR configuration instead of GUID. Booted without any problems. Hope this helps.

Zephyroth, you're my hero.

im a real noob when it comes 2 mac. tried to install some version and i't didn't work.. but now when i tried 10.5.2 release. it worked beside the network... dont understand how 2 fix it either,, i got a MSI K9N Platinum Motherbord with Dual LAN 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet by Vitesse VSC8601.. and BTW Zephyroth good work

I search download "Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2" server on rapid share.com or older.

With this version can I update my system online with apple´s updates?

Thz!

Thanks Zephy! Out of this world

Wait-a-sec are you trying to say that Marvin's utility automatically does the job for us? We can safely update out systems anytime we want? This is great then. Thx a lot if this is really the case. Out of this world. =)

Yep, EFI is needed, without it i get no darwin and i can boot only from the dvd.
Zephyroth 10.5.2 is now working for me

I have downloaded the 10.5.2 files (all 73) and heard that they were problems with files 28 and 29, can anyone tell me if these issues were resolved? the install seem to be working except for sound, seem like the AppleAzilia.kext and the IOHAudioFamily.kext were not installed properly or corrupted. Do I need to get the other two (28/29) files? Oh and I am still having problems getting to boot properly.

these files (28+29) were just missing the first hours, now everything is fine
if unraring didn´t produce any errors, the iso should be ok.
problems with boot or install may still occur, of course.

Has this happened to anybody yet, I have a HP DV2415nr Laptop, 1.8 gig turion x2 processor, broadcom wireless, NVIDA Geforce GO 6150 Graphics. 150 gig SATA Hardrive, 80 gig Maxtor USB Harddrive (Leopard). Ok my question is I go through the installation, select custom, 9.2.0 kernel, MBR-EFI, Broadcom Drive. Deselect, languages and fonts. Installation goes fine till the very end at the point of "about a min", its a half a inch from finishing, but then everything stops. The installation bar, dvd, and harddrive. Mouse still moves but I can't do anything. Ok so I do a cold shutdown. And then restart, I boot from the USB Harddrive and the Bootloader comes up and starts to load up leopard, And it comes up and everything seems ok. My question is as in 10.5.1 by zeph it freezing at about a min to go was a known issue and the solution was to go back into the installer not changing anything and letting it install the missing files. I didn't do that in 10.5.2 since it loaded. Should I go back and do that? Thanks.

Finally got the .iso via BT. Usenet didn't work for me. On my news server 7 of the parts had CRC errors and repairing them didn't work.

Anyway, I'm at work, but Zephy's new installer is a no-go on the 2 machines I've tried the new 10.5.2 for AMD. On both my laptop and on a 6100/405 AM2 machine here I can't even get to the installer. They both quit - booting off the DVD - with the famous "still waiting for root device" error.

I'll try my machine at home later, just for fun, but it looks like the original 10.5.1 + .kexts + 10.5.2 Update is what I'll have to stick with... Glad to hear it's working for others though!

[cite] althon:I can't boot the DVD MD5 is right. Burn it on a DVD-RW. After loading mkext - restart.

That's what was happening to me - only I had a bad .iso - MD5 wasn't right (I didn't check the MD5 until AFTER I burned an install DVD and it "looped" like that on me - two different machines!) Now that I have the .iso from BT and verified the MD5, burned slowly with Nero, the DVD works to start boot up...

That is the problem. I have the right MD5, but no boot.

I've got the following problem: It installed about 1,5 hours and then suddenly my laptop powered off. After restarting OSX booted, but it stops at the grey screen with the apple logo. I installed using MBR-EFI and the new 9.2.0 Kernel. During installation I had the problem that it sometimes stopped and didn't go on until I hit a key or moved the mouse. The same problem now at the start: It shows me the apple screen and loads just when I press a key. I tried pressing a key for some minutes now, but it never went on booting. What's my mistake/problem?

I love this release! Everything worked OOTB! Thank you very much, Zeph! You are a star!

Only minor annonyance I had was with the Nforce drivers that refused to connect to a PPTP VPN (but no lan freezes). I had the same problem with a set of drivers I was experimenting with in Rev. 1 (check "Nforce LAN..." post on this forum) so I finally bit the bullet and bought a cheapy RTL8139 LAN card and ofcourse it works great!

The system even sleeps and resumes (mobo, display and HDD) perfect. Finally, I ran the latest Quicktime and iLIfe updates thru Software Update and didn't have to patch the CPUIDs with Marvin's Util... I guess thats due to PC_EFI working.

Thanks again Zeph. If you have a paypal account please let me know. I want to donate towards your effort so that you can keep supporting us AMD folks!

My laptop is similar to yours and I get the same thing. It didn't work with 10.5.1 either though... I'm not very hopeful but if I stumble across anything that doesn't require re-building the .iso, I'll let you know. (there are some other hardware "issues" with my laptop that I think will keep OS X from working properly) OS X just doesn't work on all AMD hardware...

I already use diskpart and create partition primary id=af,but still not work.
I have leopard 10.5.2 amd.
do I need to patch something or change something in my HDD.

PS:please if somebody have the same computer the I have and have working leopard let me know who you did it.
sorry for my english

[cite] cgsheen:My laptop is similar to yours and I get the same thing. It didn't work with 10.5.1 either though... I'm not very hopeful but if I stumble across anything that doesn't require re-building the .iso, I'll let you know. (there are some other hardware "issues" with my laptop that I think will keep OS X from working properly)…

With some weeks of work I made it to have a nicely working Tiger, but Leopard doesn't work at all. But I'm hopeful that we'll find a solution.
I attached a pic of my errors. Maybe that will help.

i have gotten the .iso working and OS X installed on a secondary disk. i want to thank zeph and everyone involved in getting this release out to the general public

my problem is that after installing i reboot into the DVD to access terminal to use fdisk in order to mark the partition active. after i enter f 2 it says partition disk2s2 permission denied i also try disk2s1 and disk2 and same thing. i am trying to dual boot with a 500 GB western digital SATA2 which has XP installed and a 200 GB SATA samsung which has the OS X installed. my further pc specs is as follows:

LANPARTY UT nForce4 Ultra-D
AMD Opteron 148 2.2 ghz single core S939
ATI 1800XL 256 MB
creative soundblaster extreme music

before install i selected the latest TOS kernel and the MBR bootloader

sorry if this is a horribly reposted question, thank you to anyone for their patience

[cite] freshcuts:ok so i reistalled without choosing audio drivers. Then i used kext helper to easy install ac97 and applehda kexts. still no sound or sound device recognized. What am i doing wrong?

Are you sure that the ac97 in your motherboard bios is enabled?

yes.it works fine in xp.
I really cant see where is the problem.everyone with a8nsli premium mobo has sound...
thanks for trying to help!

Just got the 10.5.1 release to be stable yesterday, but just couldn't hold back from installing 10.5.2. Don't know if this was right, but I installed this directly over 10.5.1 w/ no formatting / erasing of the partition. It booted right up, no problem. Bootloader used "EasyBCD" - Very simple to setup. All previous settings still in place and all devices (except sound) working. Heck this update even fixed the cursor video distortion from 10.5.1 which I experienced. Thank you and nice work Zephyroth.

Zeph how can I incorporate Medvil kext for sata support. Also any other things I should do (EFI , NVInject). Machine I will be using this DVD on is below. I am not a Hack or Mac noob so do not worry about breaking it down into noob speak. Thanks.

P.S I will edit the DVD on a Mac if I need to.

macprodan, http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc3 ↗

The same thing happened to me (if you read the previous posts of mine). I simply moved the mouse and the progress bar moved to the present state. I don't think it is really something to worry about. The installation is not freezing, guranteed. Hope this helps.

[cite] Rajmahal783:Has this happened to anybody yet, I have a HP DV2415nr Laptop, 1.8 gig turion x2 processor, broadcom wireless, NVIDA Geforce GO 6150 Graphics. 150 gig SATA Hardrive, 80 gig Maxtor USB Harddrive (Leopard). Ok my question is I go through the installation, select custom, 9.2.0 kernel, MBR-EFI, Broadcom Drive. Deselect,…

I have followed the post about SATA install and I still can't get past "can't find root device". I put on a IDE HDD booted with the install disk, went to the terminal and mad the SATA partition active. I installed the Leopard and on reboot it wouldn't boot into the SATA drive. Any suggestions?

motherboard - K9N Platnium
HDD - estern digital 500 GB

Might be dumb but I cant seem to mount it read write. I am following this to the letter.

1. hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite
2. Download this zip ----> _rapid share.com/files/92865467/Extensions.zip.html
3. Extract it in the Libary folder of the DVD.
4. Remove the Extensions.mkext file.
5. Add the kext you want in the Extensions folder.
6. Fix the permissions on the newly added kext.
7. Recreate the mkext file that way ----> kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"DVD"/mach_kernel -m /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions

Eject, then boot

puttabong one question men
that Medevil kext is the kext that appear in insanelymac for recognize hd sata? I thought that the new 10.5.2 DVD had sata support :S or how is it? But if that's the case, i can't install tiger/leopard yet and i cant follow the how to in osx86 wiki, so from windows, how can i inject the kext? I read that from transmac but im not sure, what you recommend?
Tnx for readme

Could you upload your ALC883?,It is not fully working and I want to try that...

Zephyroth I first just want to thank you for all your hard work.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do a new install on a SATA drive?

Do I only need the 50Mb parts of part028 and part029 ore also the 3.88Mb and 28.10Mb?

Thnx

Instalation hangs at 1 minute left and the bar stops. What's the problem?Should i reboot? I wait for 15 minutes and nothing.

[cite] zephyroth:serra ---> the solution is on osx86.wikidot.com There are sticky threads ... please read them first !

Sorry i didn´t know that solutions works in this Iso too.

@Zephyroth :thank you very much for this great release!
Excuse me for repeating my self but maybe you have an idea on what seems to be the problem with my sound.
I have no sound and the device is not recognized.
I have an asus a8n sli premium with alc850.
I tried installing with the ac97 kexts once and then with the azelia ones.
I dont have a clue on what to do.Everything else works great and the install is really easy and fast(30mins).

do i need to install efi with the 9.2.0 kernel. after my previous 5 installs i get the hanging _ cursor just like did with 10.5.1, what am i doing wrong. I formatted MBR. this is my install options as of sitting on my installer now:

ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, Nvidia 10.5.2 kexts, NVinject Go, Forcedeth driver, Broadcom Driver... I was wondering if i need efi? Or is there a way to get passed the flashing cursor

I have a SSE3 capable X2 3800 Do I select TOH Kernel 9.2.0 or leave it unchecked.?

I have a 7800 GT 256mb Do I select NVInject 256 or nVidia 10.5.2 Kexts or Both.?

[cite] zephyroth:I have ALC850 too and it works fine with AC97 driver ... did you tried too fix the permissions ? chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext did you tried too add your dev-id in AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/Info.plist ?

thanks for replying!
i didnt try to fix the permissions.
I installed by ticking ac97 at the menu.
Since it didnt work i installed the ac97 kext of another user by using kext helper and then i restarted.
I thought that kext helper repairs permissions too..?
i didnt add my dev id on the kext.i thought its done automatically (lol)...
I checked my dev id on windows XP and is a bit weird...I dont see anywhere alc850 but i am sure that is the chipset i got.

@zephyroth

i whiped the whole hdd. so i could do a clean install of leopard. so i whiped out vista. and formatted to hfs+ journaled. this is the set up i have sitting on my screen tell me if its a go or no.

ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, NVinject Go, Forcedeth driver, Broadcom wireless Driver, efi v8 for MBR

Looking, Good so far,

Selected: ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 Audio Drivers, Nforce 2/3/4/5 chipset, NVinject 256, Forcedeth driver, SKGE, Broadcom wireless Driver, efi v8 for MBR

This seems to be the best hackintosh DVD ever made.

Got a Tiger Partition still Incase I ever need it, wont get rid of her for a while yet on the hack. The hack is mainly used by my parents as a Browsing computer and by me as a file server. Gotta keep them up to date.

do i need to check the nvidia 10.5.2 kexts. last install i did it just left me with a hanging cursor. and the install was similar but had more drivers in stalled.

ok i will install right now to see if any difference. what do i do if i get the hanging cursor again? because that is the only thing holding me back. and right when i booted the dvd again i went to disk utility and erased the harddrive and partitioned it again

Ha ... finally ... got it up and running.
System is running fast and stable. Netsurf without freeze (as you can see).
Only 3 problems left (actually 2 of those are the same as under 10.5.1):

- No QE/CI with my Quadro FX 3400
- Only one core recognized (I hope this is not the fix for the netsurf-freeze ... I hoped for a more elegant solution )
- Samsung S203B S-ATA DVD is not recognized (worked without problem under 10.5.1)

Any ideas on how to get my system really perfect ?

(A8N5X,Opteron 165, 2GB, Quadro FX3400)

Ah, and BTW ... THANK YOUUUUUU !

How did you get the forcedeth driver to be stable without running with cpus=1?

[cite] zephyroth:Seems good. My setup is ToH kernel 9.2, AC97 Audio Drivers, NForce 2/3/4/5, NVinject 640 + NVIDIA KEXTS (don't forget to check it too) + forcedeth + efi v8 mbr

[cite] lynx:Do I only need the 50Mb parts of part028 and part029 ore also the 3.88Mb and 28.10Mb? Thnx

I upload this files (20,21,22,28 & 29 part rarfile) to megaupload. Ask me in IRC.

well im reinstalling now. if it doesn't work i will wipe the drive again and select no kernel so like u said will install. 9.0.0

Darn it... I feel as if 'm missing the party... Can someone confirm getting QE/CI working for nVidia 7600GS on an nForce4 platform? I have an ASUS7600GS (256MB) on an A8NSLI SE mobo, and I'm stuck on a light blue screen after install (nVidia drivers+nvinject 256)...

@zephyroth
Why can't I get a bootable disk out of the install using 9.2.0, GUID, & EFI? Do I HAVE to partition MBR? I've tried 4 times now with GUID and the install actually completes without stalls, I get the "big green check mark" & reboot but the Install drive won't boot (even though the Disk Utility says it is bootable...). fdisk doesn't work (doesn't even show the right partition info - Disk Utility does though). I missed something on how to make GUID partition 2 bootable, didn't I? Something stupidly simple?

[cite] HCE:Darn it... I feel as if 'm missing the party... Can someone confirm getting QE/CI working for nVidia 7600GS on an nForce4 platform? I have an ASUS7600GS (256MB) on an A8NSLI SE mobo, and I'm stuck on a light blue screen after install (nVidia drivers+nvinject 256)...

I got over the light blue screen after restarting and boot with -x … creating an account ... start again without any option.
But QE/CI stays a dream for me .. hope you have more luck ;o)

o yes yes, i've got it installed on my PC, scratch my last post. posting this from OS X if someone could help me out in getting my 1800xl and creative soundblaster extreme music working that would be awesome. current specs are:

LANPARTY UT nForce4 Ultra-D
AMD Opteron 148 2.2 ghz single core S939
ATI 1800XL 256 MB
creative soundblaster extreme music

my previous problem was that i selected MBR on a guid partition.. dumb on my behalf thanks everyone!

[cite] 7eventh: But QE/CI stays a dream for me .. hope you have more luck ;o)

To think this graphics card was pretty standard and a piece of cake to install in Tiger...

guys i need some help, i boot from the dvd, but it never gets to the installation part, i've tried with -v but it didnt work anyways, it says something about the some drive,

disk1s2: unsupported format or something like that,
and it tries again and again, and then the pc turns off

i need some help please!

it says

disk1s2: unsupported mode

it says failed to create /library/logs with error: read-only file system

[cite] zephyroth:You MUST check BOTH NVIDIA KEXT AND NVINJECT

Every time I installed with the new Nvidia kexts and nVinject I got a black HUD before I could finish booting saying to restart in 3 languages... I am confused..

Ok, so I was watching the logs as I am installing (MBR EFI) and it it says Unable to copy package source file /system/installation/packages/bootloader/fixmbr.pkg/contents/archive.bom to destination etc...

Unfortunately, MBR is the only way to go on my side.

@Zephyroth, I only installed the 9.2.0 kernal, do I have to install both kernals (9.2.0 and 9.1.0)?

Also, why am I not able to see my complete CPU info as stated that it will in this release? if I am doing anything wrong. Thank you very much Zephyroth. Your noticeable hard efforts have made me happier than ever before. Keep up your endeavors. =)

For me too!

I started over, re-partitioned MBR, used 9.2.0, EFI, nvidia, tried the audio .kexts, tried the ZyDas USB .kext, removed the languages...

The install completed without a hitch!
I even made it past "account creation" without a working LAN Adapter OR transfering an account from another install!
My 8600GTS - FULLY working OOTB!
No ALC880 audio. Loaded "beta4some861_880Installer" - sound WORKS!
No USB Wireless (Airlink101 AWLL3026 - uses the ZyDas 1211). Used the AWLL3026 10.4.x Installer - Wireless LAN WORKS!

( OK, I admit it: I was a little bummed & frustrated while I was trying GUID... I even muttered... But now - with MBR EFI - I have to admit: THAT WAS THE EASIEST OSX INSTALL EVER! )

I still need to install Apps. I hope Toast will work again - like it did in 10.5.1 (and Time Machine too...) So, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed...

Hey Zephy! DUDE!
seriously...
dude!

@cgsheen, are you able to see an option for making the menu bar translucent or not? Last question: I was forced to name my volume with only one word. However, in the O/S environment, I changed the name and put it back to Macintosh HD. Was this a safe thing I did?

I'm seeding at 70kbps! Be glad I have another system right next to my "m"ac.

Yep out of the box, no mods

I am reinstalling with MBR now, and trying the RT73 driver for my USB adapter...searching for an ALC882 audio driver too…

The anticipation of getting this working is killing me …

Is it safe to rename my HD volume after I am done with the installation?

I heard that when installing Leopard, it is always safe to name it one word.

I renamed my volume 2 words, "Macintosh HD" after the installation, or else if I did during the installation, my Hard Disk would not boot, and instead will stay at a blinking cursor before booting.

Is it safe what I did even though I changed the info after the installation?

Lets me know, thanks. =)

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I was able to install it using 9.1 kernel and 9.2 kernel, on mdr partition and the install working perfect everything is good and it loads fine but then the screen goes blue for a secound then black and all i have is a black screen with a mouse cursor, which i can move but thats it, how do i fix this,
thanks for any and all help

Do you have to install both 9.1 and 9.2 kernals? What happens if we only install the 9.2 kernal?

Ok,I got it working finally! MBR EFI, 9.2.0 kernel, all drivers installed for my system except the new updated nvidia kext package (wouldn't let me boot with it) Now I need to get my video card working… 6800GS

Congratulations thus far. Video card should work though. Did you have to install the 9.1 kernal as well? what happens if you don't install that in addition to the 9.2 kernal?

[cite] StealthMode:Ok,I got it working finally! MBR EFI, 9.2.0 kernel, all drivers installed for my system except the new updated nvidia kext package (wouldn't let me boot with it) Now I need to get my video card working… 6800GS

Up and running, even got to see the cool startup movie. My usb RT73 Lan works - I am posting from within Safari now. Got to reboot and see if the ALC883 kext I just installed will work.

Did you install both kernals. Is this required? Plz let me know, thank you.

I was using the 9.2.0 kernel with the MBR EFI BootLoader. My problem now is I installed the Gaphics update and applied the patcher but I still get that black reboot your computer screen when i try to boot into Leo…

Oh, so did you select the 9.1.0 kernal as well to install on your system. Or 9.2.0 kernal only?

[cite] StealthMode:I was using the 9.2.0 kernel with the MBR EFI BootLoader. My problem now is I installed the Gaphics update and applied the patcher but I still get that black reboot your computer screen when i try to boot into Leo…

Is it true that you are required to install both? If so, what are the advantages if there are any? =)

[cite] StealthMode:9.2.0 only.

Whew...install went on without any problems. Thank you so much Zeph. I was partying too much until I nearly crashed my other system, Windows Vista. very happy for this release and I remain optimistic throughout its lifespan. Love everything! I read what other people commented about me, don't really mind, since I know, I was too anxious for this update. We all have our different moods. I was feeling way overexcited. Anyway, back to work, and great that I have cherished this long-awaiting this release throughout the day.

Glad to hear everything is working for you and met your expectations megaargon! now please be considerate and help others that may be having problems with their installation since your experience I would say was perfect. I know you have patiently waited for the release and thank you for being so! We thought you went to Linux for some comfort or you were not so happy with the progress of this release timeframe, LOL, just kidding. Enjoy the release and don't hesitate to post any issues.

We will be more than happy to hear from you in the long run. Remember this is a family, a community for all that is are AMD-types. Let's all sustain positive relationships with one another as acquaintances and remain as a whole, and keep our ears and eyes open for Zephyroth, God of the AMD MAC.

Ok, got my 6800GS fully working. I installed the latest NVinject, then I proceeded to install Zephs Universal NVidia Installer, clicked only the new kexts, not the NVinject in the installer (note - I installed the latest NVinject already via terminal) then when it was all installed I went in the extensions folder added my dev id to the info.plist files, repaired permissions etc.. rebooted, applied the cpuid-graphics patcher, rebooted and boom! Everything works!

Ok I just finished installing and my testing.

conclusion was I couldn't boot from guid partition because the first disk always read rdisk0s2
And sofar The only way to make the first partition read as rdisk0s1 was to use mbr. at least It still has efi installed.

Maybe somebody can work out the guid install and post it.

I also noticed that during -s when booting from disk you couldn't use sudo, su or passwd .

but i found a NEAT trick, as the install on disk is in its last minute get ready for the countdown to off, as it counts down click the utilities and terminal. an now you can do you fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 … and set the boot partition as active.

I also tried the AppleUpdateDone touch, but it didn't seem to work, as I still had to passwd change and su.

one major flaw is my 3800x2 only has one core in system view, im not sure if it's the 9.2 or just a flag for stability, but I think when I workout where the cpu=1 is hiding it will go back to normal.

Also Need another few fixes will prob try to load with -s on first boot next time and see if I can get around the passwd setting, and remain as root, using the TOUCH …AppleUpdateDone.

So good luck im sure in mbr mode most should have no troubles.

If the mod could start a thread about using guid partitioning and make it a sticky we may work it out faster. It seems to have worked for some.

Ya, the "check box" for "Translucent Menu Bar" is there in the "Desktop & Screen Saver" options menu in System Preferences.

I don't know how you could use both the 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 kernels... That's the guts of the whole system - everything else is built on that. You choose one of the kernels (NOT choosing 9.1 or 9.2 loads the 9.0.0 SSE2/SSE3 kernel...)

I don't know about re-naming the partition. Mine are always short and simple...

@zephyroth

Firstly I would like to say thanks for your hard work let us install LEOPARD on our AMD systems.
But I have a very fameos error "still waiting for root device" :(( I couldn't get installed
*JAS 10.4.8 AMD DVD
*Zepyroth 10.5.1 AMD DVD
*Zepyroth 10.5.2 AMD DVD

In all of these images I had the same problem. Could please give a way to get around this problem.
I had tried all of the combinations of HDD and DVD-RW drives, still no luck. I need despirate help:((
Is it about my chipset is so how could I pass that?
Any help appreciated guys.

I used this link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520&… ↗ to instal the alc883 codec on zephyroth`s 10.5.2 release and i have audio output so far...Everything else is working great and i must say again, ZEPHYROTH THANKS MAN!

I have installed Zephiroth 10.5.2 yesterday evening, all went well just OOTB, except for some little issue:

- I had to replace graphics kext with the ones I backed up from 10.5.1 because of some graphics artifacts on 8800GT 512MB, now System Profiler reports 771MB video RAM as in 10.5.1 but everything works very well now. The only edit I made in that kexts was adding the values for 512MB in NVinject.kext manually (it is the 0.2.1 version of NVinject)

- System Profiler reports only one core (like I am using cpus=1 flag at boot), but the system seems more responsive, like when I was using two cores without LAN on 10.5.1... need to investigate more on this...

- I also migrated my settings and apps from the previus install because now I have installed on my SATA drive without deleting the old installation on my PATA

My specs:

I checked for that option but that was no where to be found. I did hear people not having the option. If I don't have that option I don't think other users have at all either because Zephyroth made the image only once. Is there any reason why I don't that checkbox? Attached with this post is an image of how it looks. Thanks. =)

Does anybody know if MacOSX Leopard 10.5.2 support SLI Graphics, (2 video cards bridged)? I would love to enable that feature. Thanks.

[cite] cgsheen:[cite] WinLinMac01:@cgsheen, are you able to see an option for making the menu bar translucent or not? Last question: I was forced to name my volume with only one word. However, in the O/S environment, I changed the name and put it back to Macintosh HD. Was this a safe thing I did?

Ya, the "check box" for "Translucent Menu Bar" is there in the "Desktop & Screen Saver" options menu in System Preferences.

I don't know how you could use both the 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 kernels... That's the guts of the whole system - everything else is built on that. You choose one of the kernels (NOT choosing 9.1 or 9.2 loads the 9.0.0 SSE2/SSE3 kernel...)

I don't know about re-naming the partition. Mine are always short and simple...

For GUID do this:

How to: Fix the GUID bootloader (Blinking cursor)
There's an issue with the script that installs the GUID bootloader.

Easy to fix :

1 - Boot with 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"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly.

it boots up till a big screen pops up over the grey apple with the content (reboot pc bla hold the power button in all languages)

1 - Boot with 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"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly.

does not work for me.

type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

say no such device

if its GUID my bet is its rdisk0s2, as the 1st partition is the GUID table.

by the way, the install has never finshed for me, I just hoped it had done all it needed to do. I formatted as all Zeros and tryd both MBR and GUID.. Im stuck and ready to pull my hair out.

[cite] serra:Hi can someone explain me how should i do the process to solution the "1 minute hang". I already did it, with wikidot guide but with no sucess i dont know if im doing something wrong.

ok,

on dd … boot0 command got a disk alignment error
on ./startupfiletool command got filesystem not cleanly unmounted.

did fsck /dev/disk0 and got Superblock not found or somthing.. Magic number wrong

First, all thanks to zephyroth for giving us amd users a chance.

Okay, just got finished reading through all twenty bloody six pages, and am downloading off of my at&t usenet account at a steady 134 kb on my slow dsl connection (should be done in 8 1/2 hours). I am wondering if that problem of a few rars not being complete is over with, and also I am downloading 10 files which are named differently than the other 73 files. Check here- bins earch.info/?b=Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI&g=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images&p=zephyroth-osx86%40hotmail.fr&max=250 to see what I am talking about. Can someone explain this to me? Are those top ten files rars?

Also I read on a few pages before that this release includes the latest medevil kexts. My history is that I tried to install tubgirl months ago, but it couldn't get past the "creating partition map" when trying to format. Same problem with zephyroth 10.5.1. I installed the latest medevil kexts on that 10.5.1 disc, but got the "waiting for root device" error (so I am really hoping these kexts will work this time around). I am wondering if the problem of not being able to format my drive can be fixed with the latest medevil kext that is included in this release, or is my problem deeper than that? Anyone else ever heard of the problem of not formatting? After all my searching, I only met one guy at insanelymac with this problem.

I removed my other Sata DATA Drive so now I have one, So wont go all dumb and get confused. I reformated the drive, yes again, as a single GUID Partition. It is installing now. I hope I get Lucky and it don`t hang at the end.

even if it hangs at the end, boot back up with the DVD and you can finish setting up EFI yourself.

Yeah, Looks like ill have to try that. Seems like it has hung again.

it is Stuck at Dummy Bless Executed.

Here is the last few lines of the log, Taken with the iSight in my MBP.

Okay, my first question can be ignored. I read at insanely mac that those 10 files are par files to recover broken rar archives. Still need an answer to my second question. Thanks for any help.

AnyThing I can Do, Does MBR work any better for other Users, which group has had the most success ?

[cite] eddie11c:so it's working now macprodan?

nope, b0 error. Command .5 did not do anything, said disk alignment error

I can type those commands. Thank You. I have been using Hackintoshes from day 1 mate. I got my MacBook Pro that just works, But I would like to get a totally uptodate Hack for Me and the family to use. OK

MBR is the easier install, i think the script for it is working properly.

Anyone has been able to fix the Still waiting for root device error? I've read somewhere i should try ide, but i don't have ide on my motherboard
I know the kext works with the DVD because i got it working 2/3 times myself with my own 10.5.1 DVD with the kext injected into the DVD, but i cant remember what 'special' thing i did to get it past the error, hope there is a other solution

[cite] macprodan:AnyThing I can Do, Does MBR work any better for other Users, which group has had the most success ?

YAAA! I fought with a GUID + EFI install for a couple of hours, then re-partitioned MBR + EFI and stinking 10.5.2 installed without a single hitch. Even my 8600GTS was fully supported ootb! I even made it through "account creation" without a working LAN Adapter. The only things I had to do after the install were: ALC880 (which I always have to do) and I'm now using a USB wireless LAN adapter (which I knew I'd have to install the software for...)

Once I switched to MBR, it was the easiest install EVER...

Working now I typed the commands again. I did not type them wrong last time, as I got error messages not related to them being inputed wrong. Mmmmm strange.

Thats a Lesson to everyone, Try and Try and Try again.. must have done about 12 installs at least. Thank for you patience Guys and Gals. I am gonna set up the Account now. I will report back how it goes.

Grats macprodan! glad to hear you were able to get it working.

Plus I learnt some new commands to add to YoJimbo archive. But most Important of all I wont have people nagging to use my MBP.

ok so i tried every audio driver option there was in differrent fresh installs and none worked.
I still dont have sound on my asus a8nsli premium.
Does any one have the same mobo with working sound?

Hmmmm...No luck for that sound card. A friend told me that editing the AppleAC97Audio it colud work...Did you try this?.

After getting over some initial bouts of stupidity i found that this release (from th tpb iso) works on my system OOTB completely. installed on a separate SATA HD with a freshly formatted single GUID partition and installed GUID EFI v8. the only weird issue is with memory and CPU id. system info IDs the processor correctly but lists only one core, although activity monitor does show two separate and independently operating windows for cpu activity. also my ram is listed at 667 MHz in sysinfo and about this mac. while i would love that my ram is most assuredly maxed out at 400 MHz. only other quirk is having to change my speaker setup to 2ch from 6ch in Audio MIDI setup.

specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+
MOBO: MSI K8N Neo-4f (Nforce4 chipset/LAN)
Audio: Onboard Realtek ALC850 (uses AC'97 from install options)

thanks again zeph for this awesome release and support and everyone else too for being so helpful!

rock on

freshcuts, i used to think sound didn't work on mine because it was set to 6ch in the Audio MIDI setup in utilities and when i would play something sometimes it would play and sometimes it wouldn't because it seemed to send the audio to the random channels that I didn't actually have. so if you haven't looked at that you may want to check it out. hope you get it working

Okay I finally got it installed on IDE, I was never able to get SATA to work after restart with hitting F8 and then typing “mach_kernel rd=disk*s* -v”. I will have to go and try the boot loader fix on page 25 for GUI. My problem now is I have no LAN. I have Nforce 590 (MSI K9N Diamond board) I tried the Nforce drivers and I tried the south bridge via drivers along with the Forcdepth drivers. My LAN worked on 10.5.1 so did I do something wrong? Is there a way to copy the files from the 10.5.1 and use them on 10.5.2?

Thanks for the help

thanks for yor interest. The problem is that in midi setup there is no device
edit:i see we have the same audio device.how come yours work and not mine?
Does the mobo make a difference?

I have an Asus MB though not the same model and have always had problems with sound after an install, there is what works for me, I simply replace the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext with the one from tiger, or search online for an older ver. than what is included with leopard. Now I am not saying that this will fix you problem because your issues could be more than that but this is what works for.

They are on-line tutorials on how to replace kexts, let me know how it works out.

can you please send me the kext u used so maybe i could try to replace mine.
edit i attached an image of my setup:

I have that motherboard and the sound worked out the box with the AC97 driver selected during install. Try putting the DVD in and using iVisible or pathfinder to show hidden files then run the ac97 installer package.

[cite] bajanboy:I am in the at work right now but will when I get home later today, in the mean time check some of the discussion forums like insainlymac you may get lucky.

I am going to try that,thank you
EDIT: i just reinstalled the ac97 kext like you said and still no sound!

Try editing it...As before,for some people it worked...

[cite] Xxp/TuX:Try editing it...As before,for some people it worked...

you mean edit the kext?
what should i change?

For example,check (go to):
---> /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97Audio-brand-.kext/Contents
---> chmod 644 Info.plist
---> nano Info.plist
Look for some Id device 0x0850XXX.If is not,add this string...

I have alot of brands include:check pic.
i dont know which one to choose..

Thought I'd put my trials and success in

DLed from the usenet groups.

First install - missed the customize options - didn't want to boot

Second install - Checked appropriate options (New Kernel, VIA drivers, nVidia installer, GUID bootloader) - could never get past the HFS+ partition error. Tried all the fdisk stuff but no joy

Third install - Checked appropriate options same as above but with older kernel and MBR bootloader - booted right up. nVidia didn't want to work so I installed Zeph's installer from the wiki post-install and it took this time. Onboard LAN not working but Linksys USB Ethernet adapter working great. Onboard AC97 working. iLife/Office 08 working great after Marvin's Utility run (iPhoto "failed to load" crashes before running Marvin's Util).

Thanks Zeph! You da man!

cya guys!

Time ago I downloaded Zephyroth's 10.5.1 for AMD, and it didn't work, I didn't even see the installer… I still have hope that I will have mac on my PC… do you think Zephyroth's 10.5.2 will work on my computer?

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767,
it has 2 gb ram,
AMD turion 64x2 Dual Core Mobile Technology,
250 gb HDD + 80 gb HDD (external),
ATI Radeon X1200,
54g Atherols Wi-Fi (802.11b/g); 10/100 Ethernet; 4 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA,
1 S-Video, 1 ExpressCard 34/54. 5-in-1 memory card reader,
Realtek High Definition Audio ALC268
SSE 3

eard and opacity, try this guy. Added both of your vendor ID's in AppleNforceATA.

[cite] eaglepride605:Hey Zephyroth, Maybe you could help me, I Installed this using, 9.2 kernel, Nforce 3,4,5,,nvidia ktexts, nvida 512mb, forcedeath, and guid it installing perfectly, i eve have it booting on its own with out a dvd, but after it gets past that initial blue screen before the logon screen or setup screen i get a black…

I was able to finally boot into leopard by booting thru "-x" safe mode, but only that way, how do I configure it to boot with out having to use safe mode

Ok, this is how far I've got.

I have an Olidata Stainer 3000 Notebook with:
CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50
RAM: 2GB
Graphics: Radeon Xpress 1100
Chipset: ATI South Bridge 400
HDD: WDC WD1200BEVS-0 (SATA)

Installed using MBR-Partition Scheme and MBR-Fix + 9.20 Kernel (shows just 1 kernel in system profiler...). Got gray screen of death at first boot. Then on second boot using "-v" parm and it didn't crash. Got native resolution (1280x800) working using Callisto driver beta 3 (but no QE/CI, of course). My HAMA Wireless USB works using RT73 drivers.

In the logs there are many "_CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35" messages and the boot progess is quite long, because at the end of loading all drivers it just seems to sleep and then it shows "IOKitWaitQuiet timed out" warning.

And although sound was working with Kalyway 10.4.10 AMD, it doesn't work with this Leopard release. Still trying to locate the right kernel extension for that IntelHDA driver.

lshw output on linux for that soundcard show's this:
*-multimedia
description: Audio device
product: SB450 HDA Audio
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 14.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=64 module=snd_hda_intel

Anyway thanks zephyroth for the great work. Including those VIAATA/ATI SB kexts on the DVD made it easy to install this on my AMD/ATI-Notebook.

Zephiroth, I just have a word for you: WOW!

Everything works smoothly, including Toast Titanium 7.2
I've tried just one game, Prey, and it has no audio (I've used the AC97 driver) but I can live with it.

Thank you, and keep up the wonderful work.

My system:
AMD 4400+ dual core
ASUS A8N SLI
2Gb RAM
Nvidia 8800 GTS 320Mb

I investigated more on one of the issues i reported in my previuosly msg, I don't know why but System Profiler reports only one core (my CPU is an AMD X2 4200+) but Activity Monitor shows two cores working so I think it's only a bug in the program that try to identify the CPU.

I will investigate more on the GPU issue now, because I noticed that it's not related to NVinject.kext, if I copy only that one from my previuosly installation I still have a lot of graphics artifacts and no CI/QE, if I copy all the old kext related to graphics (Geforce.kext and all the others) everything works fine exept the graphic memory size reported by System profiler (771MB and not 512MB) ...

Great work Zephyroth with this release!

hey federal

Your mobo chipset sb600, is native installed on the sata hdd? i'm to interest! really?

Hola, me descargue la imagen de Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 y no me reconoce el disco duro de mi portatil, cuando quise cargar los kexts, no se pudo porque no existe la carpeta Extensions en /System/Library/Extensions no such file or directory, help me please.

Fractal talks about the kext directory , he don't found it . the new release don't recognize the disk in his laptop.

Zephyroth:
fractal is saying that he downloaded your 10.5.2 and thait doesnt recognize his external hard drive, that it doesn't exist the folder Extension in /System/Library/Extensions.

Zephyroth, do you think 10.5.2 for AMD will work on my computer:

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767,
it has 2 gb ram,

hmm strange but after install I haven't got EFI (yes I checked boot mbr with efi). I will try to install it manually. This is last hope for my x1600 mobility.

[cite] eddie11c:eard and opacity, try this guy. Added both of your vendor ID's in AppleNforceATA. rapid share.com/files/93326293/Extensions.mkext.zip.html

unfortunately here is smth wrong again... nforce was recognized but installer didn't start.. -v shows mdns responder realtime bla bla bla
this machine time bla bla bla setting corrector -bla bla bla
and then cd stops aand installation don't run. is there any solution of this problem and what does it mean?

Try disabling your LAN port, and disconnecting the cable.

finaly I have gotten myself a copy of the new 10.5.2 Zephyroth. Although I could not boot it to the installer (couldn't install it yet). When I put the DVD in it says to start up from the dvd press any key, or press f8 for start up options. Shouldn't this say to install MAC OS X not start up from DVD?

So I press any key and it goes into the nice apple bootscreen, but after 10-20 seconds it displays a black X in a circle in the center of the screen. So no luck, i tried booting with -x (safemode) but I get an error message:
EBIOS read error: Device timeout
Block 7110492 Sectors 64

Then after the error message, it does the same thing (goes into the apple bootscreen, but after 10-20 seconds it displays a black X in a circle in the center of the screen). So no luck. I am trying to install this on an IDE hard drive.

I was able to install Zephyroth 10.5.1 just fine although no sound, so I shouldn't have any problems (or so I thought). Do I have to install Leopord (10.5.1) first? I am just trying this on a formatted secondary hard drive.

Because i am still new to this I can't tell you all that much about my machine (specifications), but I can give you my pc's HP support webpage:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3440… ↗

Thanks and great job Zephyroth for finally releasing this (even though I have problems, I am sure it'll be great).

The only thing I have to install is the azalia drivers. The ones included doesnt work for me.
Full QE/CI, stable, excelent performance, its so perfect...

OUTSTANDIG!

Everything is working great for me.. Thank you much to all who contributed to getting this finished..

I had to do MBR + EFI, as GUID i can never get to boot, just says b0 error ( and i did try using fdisk, as im familiar with this error - no luck).
Thats okay though- GUID has never worked before anyways

I tried everything and still no sound on my alc850.

I did the wiki audio guide.
I checked my dev id and it is included in the ac97 kext.
i tried installing azalia.
i tried different kexts.
I dont know what else i can do.i am a bit desperate for sound.
If anyone could help i would really appreciate it!

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&… ↗

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?

[cite] Leviathan:WOW thx thx thx for the great release works on my machine, posting this with safari, but i have 2 problems: onboard network card doesn't work onboard soundcard doesn't work (is there a way to use my 2.nd soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer ?)

It's probably a little more useful if you list the actual onboard sound chip/codec - same with the onboard networking adapter. Or provide a link... Here's what I generally do:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168… ↗
(newegg.com has an excellent selection and gives all kinds of info - especially on MB products.)

They show your onboard sound is: ADI AD1988b

I think I've seen references to that on insanelymac.com & someone here probably has some info about it...
They don't list the LAN chip(s) (I think your MB has 2...) but they DO have a link to the manufacturer:

support.as us.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=M2N32-SLI%20Premium%20Vista%20Edition

where, if you still can't find the exact specs, you can usually download the Users Manual...

In the English version - on page 2-4 - it shows your networking adapters as:

2x Marvell 88E1116 gigabit LAN adapter

Again, someone here ( or at insanelymac ) will probably have more information on the Marvell chipsets.

(that wasn't too hard for me to find - still, it would have been much simpler if you had gotten that info out of your users manual in the first place. try to make it easy for people to help ... )

[cite] freshcuts:I tried everything and still no sound on my alc850.

I don't get it. Our ALC850 was supported natively by 10.5.1 - I don't know why it wouldn't be in 10.5.2...

( that's the sound codec used on my son's MB on our very first Zephyroth install. I haven't tried 10.5.2 on his machine - it's working perfectly for him & I really don't want to mess with it... )

So, I am having an issue w/ the 10.5.2 cd, where it either boots to the apple logo and gives me a "you must restart" error message, or it just reboots, or it gives me a kernel panic for 9.0.0.

I had the -x safe boot problem w/ the 10.5.1 CD, but it installed fine.

Is there a way to set the kernel to boot with?

HOW THE HELL DO I DOWNLOAD THIS ISO NOW.. ONE SAYS TORRENTS , OTHER SAYS USENET.. I MEAN THEPIRATEBAY TAKES AGES...PLEASE SOMEONE POINT ME WHERE TO DOWNLOAD FROM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. THANKS

man, take it easy.
Try usenet. I get it from there in only five hours.
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88079 ↗

ive pressed the search button too many times and i dont know what im going to do now because its says that the limit is over or something pelz.

Zephyroth, great release, thanks!

I have a ASUS M2N-E mobo. Chipset is NForce 570 Ultra MCP. Audio is Realtek ALC850

I successfuly installed AMD 10.5.2 on a SATA disk but with some problems.

1) Audio doesn't work. No built-in audio it says.
2) Network doesn't work. It says the cable is not connected. I selected forcedeth during installation.

Other than these it looks okay.

Any suggestions? Thanks

[cite] Skyper:HOW DO U USE NEWSLEACHER?

Seriously dude... Do yourself a favor (& us too) and just ride the torrent. Go outside and play for a day or two...

( oh, do you remember how to UNDO the "Caps Lock" on your keyboard? )

Excuse me , but its not me thats making it so complicated and im sure that there are hundreds of ways out there that you could have used to make a it a little bit easier. Im not one of those people that are going to download for 1 week if there are easier ways.

Skyper-

If you are so in a hurry, go to your local Apple Store and buy a Mac... You'll get it immediately and won't have to wait until that stupid torrent download is complete...

Alright anyway i gave up so whats the point really.No point. Have a great day.

Fastest way is to subscribe EasyNews for 9 bucks a month and download the files as fast as your bandwidth can get. In my case I was able to download in 10 minutes. If you download fast, then I suggest you go with easynews or such sites.

[cite] Skyper:Alright anyway i gave up so whats the point really.No point. Have a great day.

Please excuse me guys, if this was already mentioned here, but I can't read 30 pages at once
I found following "bugs":

- Some language files are missing for new features like list stacks. I've got the german languagepacks installed, but on lists it's following shown:

OPTIONS
OPEN_IN_FINDER

(looks a little bit like variable-placeholders)

The second thing I was wondering about is, that in System Config "Time Machine" you can't hide the time machine icon in the menubar. Mh.. !? For non-time machine users not very cool ...

Zeph, you made a great release, by the way, thank you!

If he hasn't found and read the MULTITUDE of posts on how to get 10.5.2 via USENET already... ALL the information is already here man...

Look for the "Hardware" thread. All the hardware specs for that computer are listed... That was my "1st GarageBand 10.5.1..." - first successful zephy install. My son uses that computer with Garage Band daily - ever since I built it.

Rather not i'm afraid. Ive already checked before i posted thank you very much. But my problem was that i clicked the search button too many times so it popped up with an limit error. So i was asking very kindly if there was another program because this one wont work because my limit runned out. Can you understand now? Or do you want me to explain it to you in kinda more simple english?

Hello sorry, I do not speak English, the problem I have is that Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 I do not recognize the hard drive (SATA).

My architecture is:
Compaq Presario V3000
V3618LA
AMD Turion
Plate NFORCE
SATA Hard Drive 120 GB
1GB RAM

Thank you expect your help.

You guys are on crack, my ALC850 worked with no changes with a fresh 10.5.2 install.

I have one question, the mobo is a factor about install/not install leopard?
I see that one guy with chipset nForce570 was able to install it but with mobo Asus in HD Sata.
I have nForce560 chipset but mobo ... well its a strange mobo :S cpu-z say Fequene but manufacturer Acer
So, if the mobo its a factor, what i need to edit?
another question, that nforce5.pkg that its on the wiki, could work in tiger?
i was thinking something crazy but need install tiger from vmware and that .pkg
cya guys

Zhephyroth Hello, I do not speak good English correctly, try adding to the iso AppleNFORCEATA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, change permissions, but remains the same.

Download this if your still having issues, let me know if it works for you, worked for me with alc850, but i included an 880.txt already for you

mrbu rns05.com/downloads/osx/ALC880patch.zip

my alc 850 worked on 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, but i patched it with a linux dump anyways cuz it seemed a little crackly, now its fine

Okay I have everything working but my SH-S182D DVD drive is not recognized. any suggestions

Hi!

My time machine is lost in the tunnel... I cant get it work…
I have 1 drive with 3 partitions:

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.

"AppleNForceATA: phy connection failed" i got it too. But it seems everything is working fine. I could not fixed the vga issue yet. but tonight or tomorrow it´s done.

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?

~p-J

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.

[cite] p-J: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? ~p-J

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"

I have the same problem than fractal. My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv2164 with nforce MCP51 an a 120GB SATA, when boot from DVD all is OK until in the Disk Utility where recognice my HD but no my partitions, this ISO include the kext from Medevil for nforce sata?

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!

edit: oh and by the way: it seems nforce 4 lan is working fine, and ac97 sound too. Just tell me what the amd utility does?

My Problems:

1- iLife08 is very unstable, i already downloaded the latest updates but it still continues going down when doing some process with it.

2- Sound suddently stops and i have to reboot to get sound again, sometimes it starts working again from nothing

[cite] freshcuts:I tried the 880 patch but it didnt work.it must be the crack... did i have to delete the old kexts before using the pathcer?

nah you dont have to delete anything, theres a site with more linux dumps for your sound chip, but i cant remember the site, is was where i found the patcher as well< google search it i guess...

good luck to ya!

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"

as I said i did it. Re-installed and use the 10.5.2 geforce + 128mb and here we are, 100% system working. sound ok, lan ok, video ok. Now tomorrow, its the programs trials... ~programs...hm... Ill put them into the test...

and windows partition is ok too.

Ok guys. Please, Im begging now. Can someone please shed some light on whats going on with my system?
Ill try to explain best I can.
If I boot from the 10.5.2 DVD it hangs on "waiting for root device".
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!

that's how I did it but it didnt work...
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"...

ok zephyroth

work great with tx1000
but no sound
no graphic
no lan and wifi(detected but cannot find network)
other working

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!

Anyone?!

maybe sata doenst work well?
i installed on a ide drive fine...

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

My Leopard runs on SATA2 HDD drive, so actually this shouldn't be a problem. Try to google on "waiting for root device"

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

I got an external 250gig hard drive, usb. Can you give me some pointers how to set that up so the DVD recognises it?

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?

try different bios settings for your sata dvd drive

[cite] eddie11c:[cite] freshcuts: Try this for your ALC850. rapid share.com/files/94374020/ALC850-Install.zip.html

I just did and nothing changed.
I am going to try it on a fresh install with no audio drivers selected.

EDIT: nope not even on a fresh install.Maybe this release is not compatible with my audio chip or mobo...

Hi, I can't install this version , it cannot start at all , I have tried with Zephyroth's mac 32 bit version, and everything was fine apart from the kexts for SATA, but now gives me the following message: "Local APIC version not 0x14 as expected" in the beginning and doesn't start the install
My system is : Acer ASPIRE 9304 (MCP51 chipset, Turion 56 , 4 GB RAM ,)

When I want to install this version from the bios, my pc restarts automatically. Why ?

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.

When I say from the bios, I mean I want to install directly Mac before Windows starts. I insert the DVD I launch the boot installation but my pc restarts. The last line of Darwin boot before restarting is : HFS+ file:[system library/extensions.mkext.] from 422d690

just tried 10.5.2 rev1 and it hung on some CPU powersave kext. I'm not panicking;
the boot process after install did however
will scrub some of those pesky kext's in /s and move along at a later stage.

( running dual Opterons in an MPC55 board called the KFN5D )

i need help on booting!
I installed the 10.5.2 AMD Version all worked fine, but i can't boot the system from HD!
I can only boot the 10.5.2 Version only from the DVD.
I use the Vista boot loader with EasyBCD 1.52 and have 1 Disk with 4 Partitions:

Partition 1 = Windows Vista
Partition 2 = Windows XP
Partition 3 = Mac OS X86 - 10.4.9 - Tiger

When i select "Entry 3" i see "Darwin/X86 boot V5.0.132 …"
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)

i really wanna get this goin thanks !

to boot the System ! (see the posting higher up)

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.

Thanks,

I'm getting this error when I boot from the DVD:

What mobo do you have? Is there not an option to change this in bios from 1.1 to 1.4 if not maybe a bios upgrade?

i have tiger installed on VMWARE and it doesn`t allowed me to create "Extendions.mkext", it sends me the following error.

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...

What mobo do you have? Is there not an option to change this in bios from 1.1 to 1.4 if not maybe a bios upgrade?

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.

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

[cite] eMatoS: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.

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.)

But i have an acer aspire 5520-5679 and very looks like yours but no success at this moment :S
Cya

what the hell?everyone seems to have working soud on alc850!
Why cant i have too?
Am i doing something wrong?
I have tried all known methods...

cgsheen

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.
Zephyroth, AWESOME release. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[cite] cgsheen:[cite] eMatoS: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.

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.)

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.

I have a little trouble with my video card:
GeForce 6800 256Mb Ram PCI-E 256bit DDR3 (on nForce4 s939, with DVI/VGA monitor LG 15")
Help me please.

PS
All another things works very good, and in "About this mac" i see my videocard with right name and ram size, but videostreaming is too bad, screensavers works steply(with a low fps)

what motherboard do you have?

My motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4-FI/Platinum (MS-7125)
Chipset: nVIDIA nForce4 Ultra, AMD Hammer

[cite] freshcuts:I see.On MSI alc850 works. On my asus no...

No alc850 sound on my ASUS A8NSLI SE either, I could never get it to work. Not in Tiger, not in Leopard, no matter which AC97 kext I've tried. It appears in the preferences pane but will not render any sound.

As soon as I boot the DVD it says: "system config file 'library/preferences/systemconfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist' not found. Has this happend to any one? I'm using an Acer Aspire 5520-5912.
One thing that I saw is that when I explore the DVD from vista it only finds eight file which are less than 1 Mb.

It's really strange that it works fine on my A8N-SLI and not on SE, Premium or Deluxe models. What's the damned difference?

Here's a tutorial I found on a spanish forum, sorry for the typos, I'm latino:

Step 1: Going down

>>Start Windows
>>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
>>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
>>Save with Ctrl+o and exit with Ctrl+x

Hi prateesh,

Blue screen is not normal. Try to boot with -v to see what error you'll receive and than check the forum to see if there is a solution to that error.

Looks like it wants to use the other video output (external ) happends with my Q45.

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).

Installation problem on hp presario v3159au laptop
Disk Utility works perfectly with this version, but crashed to terminal during the installation in about 2 minutes before completion, it read "ReportCrash [779]: mkdir failed to create /Library/Logs with error: Read-only file system", can anyone give some helps?

[cite] freshcuts:I see.On MSI alc850 works. On my asus no...

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.

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...

[cite] 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.

K235 and JoeTheWise
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.

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.

Check the ASUS forum:

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.

Hey, what about Quicktime 7.4? I have 7.2 installed.

whats the best program to read and maybe even write HFS+ from a 64-bit windows,
macdrive 7 doesnt support 64-bit
transmac crashes every time i open it

eaglepride605

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.

Thanks for your help, eMatoS!

For my case, I burned at 4X and boot from DVD already, still get the same problem.
Any other hints on this ?

Here ↗ they talk about some RAM incompatibility (?) maybe that's all, and this ↗ guy changed the kernel, hope someone can give you more ideas.

Good Luck!

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.

for your GUID problem, have you actually read the forums? There is a new update (patch) floating around that will address this problem. If you are not interested, consider MBR instead.

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. =)

Yes WinLinMac01, I've downloaded the standalone from apple's site and everything seems fine for now.

good, you shouldn't expect any problems. the only problem that I am finding now is a bug that has to be addressed by apple. in safari, when signing out of my email account, the safari application quits unexpectedly and it hurts. =( if only I can send my bug report to apple, lol, but I forbid myself. =)

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…

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 =).

Alright I downloaded 10.5.2. I burned it at 2x then booted from the dvd and went into Disk Utility but it doesn't see my IDE hard drive (which formatted fat32 and is active and primary)
10.5.1 detected it fine.

.

I have a little trouble with my video card:

All another things works very good, and in "About this mac" i see my videocard with right name and ram size, but videostreaming is too bad, screensavers works steply(with a low fps)

my finder keeps on crashing, don't know why. just started occuring, didn't do anything that would harm the o/s and now after logging in, I can use applications, but finder is not responding, please help, thanks.

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?

[cite] 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 If it doesn´t works you can try to do again the eddie´s 10.5.2 update.

I was able to get LAN working at normal speeds by disabling 1394 (firewire) in my BIOS. This may help anyone experiencing similiar issues.

system is working flawlessly now, after addressing the finder issue. It was all about a corrupted preference issue. Thus, I created a new account, saved the file on the other, and now everything runs smoothly the it should be.

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.

whats going on?!?!

well! EVERYTHING is working fine BUT, any torrent client makes the system crash... after 10-15 minutes of download the HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON screen appears. I don´t know what to do... azureus, bitrocket, transmission, anyone.

any idea?

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?

@azazthotHello, people. I really need help - I feel that I am almost there.This is my specs: Athlon 64 3000+ (sse2 only) nforce4 via chipset GeForce 8500GT 512mb LAN geforce onboard HDs: 10G IDE - Tiger (10.4.9 tubgirl - works perfect) 80G sata - Vista 200 sata -part1: Leopard part2: empty (for backup) Problem: Install kernell 9.0.0 (because…

Hello,

I have a similar issue, my config is as follows:

AMD 64 3500+,
2GB DDR RAM
4 SATA Drives and 1 PATA drive (PATA for OSX and 1 Sata for windows XP sp3)
Nvidia 7900GT card
DFI LANPARTY ULTRA D mobo

And I am stuck exactly where he is. If anyone can help or provide any insight it would help. I also get the grey screen with the mouse and nothing happens after that.

An update from my side. I installed once again using the same image as above, except I selected the 9.1.0 kernel, and the installation went fine. Works great. Still working on a few things such as drivers for my M-Audio Delta 1010LT. And getting the resolution to 1440 *900. Will probably need to install some extensions. Will update on this.

Update:

Most of the things work. My on-board sound card works just great. However, I am trying to get my m-audio card to work. Any hints on how to do this ? Drivers, kext etc I need to know of ?

thanks for the help!

update, I managed to install the drivers for my sound card and it works great. One question. Would the update to 10.5.6 work ? I am on 10.5.2 and hence the question. I have installed all the automatic updates except the 10.5.6 so any help will be appreciated. thanks!
