No Harddrive Found

[cite] pmcnano:you'll have to install it on vm, search for some guides, OR on an external harddrive. It must be a sata issue or something

Is there a way for me to inject the .kext into the .iso, so then it will be able to recognize the drive? I have all the .kext for kalyway off of rapidshare; I just need to know how to put them in the .iso.

Ok, I can inject them now, but how do I know which ones to put in? here is the download link

EDIT: I tried injecting the following .kext and it didn't work

ACard62xxMkext
ACard68xxM.kext
ACard671xSCSI.kext
ACard6280ATA.kext
ACard6885M.kext
AppleGenericPCATA.kext
AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext
ApplenForceATA.kext
AppleOnboardPCATA.kext
ApplePCCard16ATA.kext
ApplePlatformFamily.kext
AppleUSBCDCACMData.kext
AppleUSBCDCECMData.kext

IO80211Family.kext
IOACPIFamily.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext

IOPCCardFamily.kext
IOPCIFamily.kext
JMicronATA.kext
kernel.6.0.kext
kernel.kext
ntfs.kext
VirtualAudioDriver.kext

Where would I install this? In the same extensions.mkext where I was installing the others? And this is all that I need for support with kalyway?
Thank you, I will try this and get back to you and tell you if it works or not.

LawlessPPC, thanks for all the help. I decided to download Zephyroth and see if that works. If it doesn't, well, I'll try what you have here for me. I just can't waist that many more DVDs.

Thanks for all the help though,

I have Sony DVD+R right now. What do you suggest I should get for DVD+RW?

OK, I finally downloaded and burned Zephyroth 10.5.2 AMD-EFI but it is worse than Kalyway. Kalyway used to see my disk drive with the Kalyway CD and Zephyroth does not see anything at all. I tried leaving it as NTFS, and I converted it to FAT32 and I also left it unallocated.

Can someone What am I doing wrong with it?

EDIT: If anyone can reccomend where i can get the latest version of Zephyroth, please PM me the link. I can't seem to find 10.5.2 rev.2

I did and I downloaded a file named as leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2 and it came up stating "still waiting for root device". Is this an incompatibility issue or a burning issue?

Please don't start multiple discussions on the same topic, i've deleted your other post

Take a look here:

How to inject kexts into Leopard with/on Windows →

Crawle's post at the bottom may be an easier option if you have TransMac.

you have put its nvidia chipset may be more helpfull if you could put which chipset it is EG NForce4 or NForce3 etc as this is the very item you are needing support for.
If its Nforce4 I can recommend Zephy's 10.5.2 rev 2 iso

ok just found out nforce5 is included in Zephy's 10.5.2 rev2 iso but here a link to the driver. rapid share.com/files/80683847/NForce5.pkg.zip.html

with out looking at pkg yeah but that is an installer.

you woukd need a running system to install that. Hold on see what I can do

go to this link ive uploaded for you

rapid share.com/files/125501872/Archive.zip.html

extract and then just mirror the contents of these folders to yours if you can.

Failing that just use the kext in extensions. but boot with -v -f then run the other pkg file you already have

get 1 of the 20x liteons check my user details it tells you which model and it wont cost more than £20. A note tho always make sure you do the latest firmware update when you get 1 as this usually is just to improve compatibilty with media.

That normally means your main chipset isn't supported properly (could be the release, could be your chipset just isn't supported in OSX, could be the way you have your drives arranged, could be the cycle of the moon...). Start searching - "still waiting" is probably the number ONE install issue... Could also be: you need to list all of your hardware to get really meaningful help (oh, wait, I think I said that somewhere else)...

Dude, laptops are tough, AMD laptops are even tougher. Your best bet will be to find someone with a similar lappy and see what can be made to work - and what can't... Either way, laptop installs generally require more work and don't always end in success.

Ageed. You generally have to make your own distro for the laptop itself (unless you are lucky enough to find a BROAD installer packed with the ability to fulfill your Hardware compatibility needs).
