Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD - Rev. 2 - Discussion Thread

Starting to say thanks to zephyrot by all the work done in this rev.2 of his DVD. i think it will help a lot of users(me included :))
So, like others users here, i can be a tester of your rev2 if you want
The first DVD that you made doesnt work on my laptop :S it doesnt recognize my hd. My laptop is an acer aspire 5520-5679
The laptop's hardware is:
AMD Turion64 x2
Chipset nForce 560
HD SATA 160GB
Nvidia GeForce 7000M Graphics Card
I think that there aren't too much users with chipset nForce5xx, so if you want i can help
By now, cya guys

Posted also in my "kernel panic" thread but I figure I will place this here since most visit this thread.
Here is a camera phone picture of what I am running into trying to get the blasted install screen. I have yet to see anything past this point.

I have tried the following at boot

mach_kernel -x
mach_kernel -x -f
mach_kernel -x -f platform=X86PC (and tried ACPI
-legacy

same stuff above just without the mach_kernel but I think you get the point. I have hooked up ps2 keyboard/mouse and disabled the onboard USB. I have also disabled Serial ATA, Parrallel port, onboard audio, onboard lan. I am out of options I think.

Booster, your PC is exactly like mine HP PAVILION right? anyway tell me whats the problem:)

Something like this? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docn… ↗

The ATI Xpress 200 maybe a problem. Especcially the Xpress 200M chipsets for notebooks is problematic. The harddisk is slow, Audio isn't working on some laptops and you have no CoreImage/Quartz Graphics, what is the biggest problem. Here's a link in insanelymac:

i managed to resolve that problem with Katana not Callisto, katana requires after install editing, the post install script doesn't do nothing, at least for me

new to this place...
i'm on an asus notebook z53t with amd turion 64 x2 which sports the nVidia MCP51 controller.
to zephyroth:
thanks a lot for your work!
i tried rev 1 but i couldn't install to hd because of the MCP51 which had serious problem (in tiger too) with the old AppleNForceATA.kext.
i also tried install via vmware like i did with tiger but it stop with code signing error...

i've been testing the new AppleNForceATA.kext by medevil (which you can find here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77071 ↗ ) and i can say that it works pretty good even on my MCP51.
so i'm asking you PLEASE, PLEASE include this kext in rev 2.
let me know if you plan to do it, or you if can point me to a ppf including this kext to apply to rev 1 iso.

For the 1000ths time, it's already included in Rev.2 ...

But thanks ! At least you told me what works on your system !

sorry if i asked that, it's not always easy to find things already answered, especially in really long threads. can't wait!

if you need my help for testing i'll be glad to do it.

ciao

@Zephyroth
Well here are the specs if u are still interested:

Asus M2NBP-VM CSM (NForce 430B Micro ATX mobo) with SoundMax ADI AD1986A onboard soundcard and Marvell Yukon onboard
Phenom X4 Quad GP9600 Black Edition
Ati Radeon 2600XT
To test it I will be using a Maxtor Diamond Max 21 160GB S-ATA HardDrive

Yep but the administrator of the FTP is gone in vacation ... We need to create a new one.

@ zephyroth:

If it's so problematic to find answers then start a new thread which shows the new features of RC2 only. This would be easier for us and less annoying to you to say everything again and again. But the users (to define: we) must understand that this is a developer's thread only, no posts, questions or anything else from others. It's the only way to keep a short overview of the changes and new features.

Zephyroth, thank you for including ATI 38XX support in revision 2. I have not been able to test your release because I experienced the bootloader issue. When you release revision 2, I will let you know how everything works (including my 3870). I really appreciate your work, thanks =)

[cite] Puttabong:@braid: The only way to read/write NTFS on Mac OS X is using a third party program, called MacFuse! http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ ↗

in the uphuck 10.4.9 i dont have to install any other program to do so, of course it installs ntfs-3g (i dont remember it well) at installation but, why it doesnt work with the 10.5.2 ? I guess it´s another leo problem...

another thing: anyone knows about sli support? I have 2 6600gt in sli mode in winxp, but I have to turn to single mode to boot at leo.

oh another things that I do NOT KNOW if its appropriate to say here in this topic but if not, just tell me and I remove it.

any chance of a genius webcam usb works? and any chance of a genius mousepan tablet 5x4 works? It would be amazing if so...

3rd: 10.5.2 will be support for usb mouse working with ps2 keyboard? it didn´t work in 10.4.9 and 10.5.1. In 10.4.9 i did some mods in the kext to make it, but I´ve got lazy at 10.5.1 haahhaha

anyway, can´t wait to use it.
bring it on!

Well, I got 2 AMD systems I can help test.

1) Compaq V6305ca Notebook

Currently collecting dust because I can't get it to work properly as a media center,
with Windows or Linux.

My current main machine is an INTEL Hack. Running Toh Leopard DVD, efi v8, vanilla kernel and update to 10.5.1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz (pin mod) 1.333ghz fsb

USB Bluetooth, PCI Firewire

Sound not fully working, only getting output, so its ok. Have not tried mic. front panel not working.
ICH9 only 1 channel (2 sata working)
Jmicron (working in ACHI mode only)

If you need a beta tester I have 2 machines to test out...

DoiX:

I install fine it seems(single OS Mac only on IDE) on reboot it has "system config file com.apple.boot.plist not found" I have read that some think it is a bad burn to dvd, or the file itself is bad? twice downloaded and 4 burns with same result. maybe I will have more luck with Rev.2

Thanks again for any help with 1st release and Rev.2 as well!

@1207FX What kind of partition scheme have you selected, GUID or MBR?,

My report about Rev.2 Installation:

I'm testing Rev.2 in my notebook:
CPU: AMD Mobile Sempron 3400+ (SSE3, 64bit)
VGA: Nvidia GeForce Go 6150
Chipset: Nforce MCP51
HD: Fujitsu SATA 40GB
LAN: Nvidia
Wireless: Broadcom

Installation goes fine with some combination.
But, after install, when I try to boot with grub I get the message: Invalid or unsupported executable format.
Someone have an idea on how to correct this problem?

Well, I made something, downloaded netkas pc efi v8 (I have to use some special for amd?) put on grub as kernel, so I get boot on Leo, but, I get message from Nforce Sata driver, something like:
AppleNforceAta: scan 1 disks found
(... other system messages ...)
Until here is ok, but for some reason Leo tries to load again and I receive this:

AppleNforceAta: scan 0 disks found
AppleNforceAta: sata phy reset failed

And...
Still waits for root device.

Someone can help me?

Maybe it could be because on installation I choose to install the newest kernel?

Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD rev. 1.

Asus A8N5X, sound adapter Realtek ALC850 @ nVIDIA nForce4 (CK8-04) - Audio Codec Interface,
IDE HDD secondary (primary - WinXP), EFI MBR, all ATI.kext with original DVD + Natit.kext (two displays in the same way work), nVIDIA nForce4 completely works (LAN, audio), NTFS3G for Windows NTFS read-write.

With impatience I wait rev. 2!

Forgive my bad english...

any chance that AC'97 digital output will work with Rev.2, mine is ALC850 chipset. If not, can this be considered for a later update please.

roisoft: or anyone with ideas

I used all three mac/mbr/guid many tries on install lol actually kind of fun trying all these installs. checked and unchecked Nvidia drviers, same result. I havent got far enough to be able in install kext so your guess is better than mine.

Of course like any other member, would be pleased to test Rev2 also

hello members, rev 2(beta) has given me a heart attack i installed it 15 times and still don't know what's the problem... i managed to make it work only one time, but i had to reinstall it again to be sure it works ~X( and it doesn't :((. i'm still trying to figure what the @#$% rev2 doesn't like on my system I'M NOT GIVING uP

@ 1207FX

Try this (if you want, of course) copy the file to pendrive formated in FAT labeled "EFI"

boot into install dvd and open disk utility and format the HD and choice the GUID scheme, close the disk utility, plug the pendrive, open a terminal and type this:

diskutil list

take note of hd number (diskX, X=device number) (e.g. if it disk1 - then X = 1 (X will be used later)

cd /volumes/efi/pc_efi_v80

umount -f /dev/diskXsY (X=hd Y=partition)

./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v8

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

dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1

your guid drive should be ready for booting now, close the terminal and follow with the install.

Thank you Roisoft

I shall try it. no pen drive, BUT I have usb HD… will let you know how it goes:)

after a few tries at installing with the USB HD no luck. (sysytem config file "/com.aple.boot.plist" not found) may have to go buy a flash drive anyway

can't wait for revision 2. i still haven't gotten the first one to work on my amd laptop sadly, i been trying day in and day out to get it to work but i constantly have problems when adding the IONetworkingFamily.kext(don't think this is the problem) and the AppleACPIPlatform.kext(this one gives me the problem). so as for now i'm trying to get the JaS release of 10.4.8 to work and i am downloading the tubgirl 10.4.9 release to work. i have had no luck with any AMD release yet. and my computer is only 2 months old. sad huh. whatever though.

I'm looking forward to Rev. 2 and I have a little question about it:
I've got a kernel panic, something like this: Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0036DAC7):"Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 88\n"@/volumes/disk1s2/leo_xnu-1228/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:2884
(see here: osx.kb ot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=19&page=2#Item_46)
May it work with Rev 2?
Thanks a lot for this wonderful work and this forum. I like you, guys

I had installed REV1 on my PC. but I could not install my graphic board driver and nFORCE lan driver automatically. Can i install them automatically by using REV2_image? Please give me your message
thank u

Hey Skyper. I don't know really, what your problem is, but try following:
- plug the DVD-Rom and the HDD about one cable into the IDE or SATA port
- set the HDD to Master (by setting the jumper on your HDD) and the DVD-Rom to Slave (by setting the jumper in the middle section of the pins)

Now check in your Bios, if the devices can be detected to Master and Slave and try again. I had a similiar problem and it worked with this way. Check this thread out:
osx.kb ot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=19&page=2

@crawle
Thanks for you reply but i dont want to open my computer specially for this. All i wanted to know is if it will be detected in rev2 without the need to mess around with the HDD and opening the whole comp.

@skyper
I guess it could be intimidating to someone who hasn't opened the side up on your PC, but it is very simple. You should see my Machine…lol have 3 drives hanging out the side onto the desk trying different methods of install. However if your running a PC with factory warranty, then I could understand. I too am hoping Rev2 eases my pain

My HDD slides up and down in my pc, 'cause I had to bring it one track up (cable to short) and there are no fitting holes for fixing the HDD.

Puttabong, I have an Asus K8V SE Deluxe that I can install tiger on with ease, however Zeph's ver 1 won't install. I've tried everything and have been trying for about a month.

I would really love to test rev 2 for all the people with K8t800/VT8237 Chipsets that can't even get to the installer. Please let me know.

still no booting into Mac OSX yet… hangs at( localhost kextd[I0]: IOKitWaitQuiet timed out waiting to write kernel symbols )

single IDE no dual OS booting

thanks for any help

Puttabong and ShadeZero.

I have removed your posts on Beta Test Reports in order to keep the thread clear.
For discussing about it, I prefer to stay here.

The skge package is now installable. I will put the modified OSInstall.mpkg on ftp this day.

"I think I just had an Ear'gasm..lol"

It hasn't got to the point of heaving my PC from the window yet, but my eyes have crossed a time or two.

I get to take a break and go to work now.

Best of Luck to all Testers!

Any possibility of running Leopard ( like u ) on this laptop

Wireless - not working. Also after installing IO80211Family.kext from MacOSXUpd10.4.5Intel an changing en0 to en1 in networkinterfaces.plist (on 10.4.10 working perfectly)
DVD-read only, can't burn

Do you have solution for this problems on Rev. 2?

PS
Sorry for my English

Have you tried PatchBurn from www.patchburn.de ? It creates individual profiles for your CD/DVD-RW drive.

Stop asking for test Beta Rev.2.

It is obvious that you want to test only in the hope to see it functioning correctly on your machine.
And you will not make any test if it's indeed the case ...

Moreover the majority of the people who ask to test have a hardware more or less close to the one of current beta testers or known to be recognized correctly.

I will make an announce if I really need new beta testers.
And it will be only according to the hardware that you have and of which I want to know if it's supported or not by Rev.2!

@ zephyroth
"that you want to test only in the hope to see"
This is not true. If that need i may to test all friends machines and send results to you.

PS
But if you will need a testers in future you may write me

@ zephyroth

you say you don't need new beta testers.
Are my specs compatible with leopard amd rev 2?

HP NX6325:

Synaptics Touchpad 6

I didn't say I didn't need beta testers ...

I just said that I will make an announce ...

Its for me also no problem to beta test! Ive got a lot of time these days just say me what to do and I will do it!

so any news on a release date? its the 15th already 16 more days in january.

[cite] braindead803:so any news on a release date? its the 15th already 16 more days in january.

braindead, choose @rev2 released tomorrow buggy as hell(pain in the ass when installing/trying to install)
@rev2 released in February(a charming thing to install with no problems)

Again, I think I made a mistake on the probable release date ...

I was too sure of my ability to make a new DVD (better than Rev.1) in 2 months and at that time there's still a lot of things that need to be fixed.

I'm working on it everyday and it's in progress.

Zephyroth, once you get the Rev2 beta working better I can test how it works with ATI 3870s. Specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2 GB RAM
230 GB 7200 RPM HD
ATI 3870 w/ 512 MB Memory

okay i understand, could u just include the x1800 natit which is in the kalyway dvd with this dvd.

Zeph, or any admin, I'd love a chance to test my new speedy machine below are my specs!

Tandy

Great! for osx86 this machine is perfect! I'm running it without problems on my C=128 with hard drive. Vista isn't working, claiming the CPU is too fast.

In the rev.2 insert please the SATA driver because i've downloaded the rev.1 and i cant install it. My hard disk it isnt recognized by Leopard Installation. Or if u can give me a hand on how to make my HDD to be seen by the installation guide. Tryed with Tiger made by JAS and got the same issue. The installation is working on my desktop system with and ATA HDD.
My test config: DELL INSPIRON 1501, AMD Turion64 X2 TL-56, (!)HDD 120Gb Fujitsu MHY2120BH SATA, video card ATI X1150, 1Gb RAM.

Please include in the next release the drivers for ATI Mobility like x1100, x1150, x1270 series.

My machine:
ASUS Motherboard model A8R32-MVP Deluxe, with ATI Xpress 3200 (RD580) and ALI M1575 Southbridge.
AMD socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-60, Toledo, 90nm (MMX, 3DNow, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64)

No one can't help me with this problem? Please i'm desesperate.

Well, i think we only can wait to rev2 see the light and stop to ask "when i can test…bla bla"
its ready when its ready
thats it
and zephyrot, i have one question:
i have a nvidia graphic card, but i didn't see it in the Vendor's Device ID section on the wikidot
will be recognized or i will need to edit something if give me some problems?
my graphic card is a nVidia GeForce 7000M
cya later and tnx for the effort on this rev2
P.D. Sorry for my bad english xS

Hmmm. it's curious how many people asking to be a beta tester... although zephyroth said more than one time that he would announce it when he needs nw ones.

what's the dev-id of your card ?

My motherboard is ASUS M2N-E, with NVIDIA nForce® 570 Ultra chipset.

I've tried to install the Tiger releases (TubGirl and iATKOS), but I don't have success. I cannot format my partitions, they just appears at Disk Manager, but they're inactive (a gray color).

So I just wanna know if you have beta testers for nForce 570 chipset, because I've read somewhere that the problem it's the chipset, and not my SATA HDD.

Thks, and sorry, I don't speak english =\

hi i have a radeon hd 2400 pro if you need a beta tester for this vga tell me…

Tnx for answer zephyrot =)
If the id of the graphic card is founded in the same way of the hard disk
The dev-id of my card is 0x0533. The card is a nVidia GeForce 7000M
I think thats it, is compatible?
Tnx for read me
Cya!

@ emaildopedrooo

Maybe you have to repartition your harddisk? My Windows partitions also are greyed out. If formatting is possible select 'Overwrite with zeroes' from the Security Options.

Anyone know or have an educated guess whether or not OSX would work with my system? I have posted my specs before but here is my CPUID and video card spec. for any help

@ naquaada

I followed this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=14715 ↗

But when I try to Erase the partition in Disk Manager, nothing happens. I'll try the 'Overwrite with zeroes'.

(Using TubGirl release, it's a Tiger release. Still downloading the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD).

Thanks for help, and sorry for my English. =\

I wanna share my installation experiences with revision 1 and help the staff to make a perfect revision 2

My hardware specifications:
Laptop ID: Medion 97900
CPU: AMD Turion 64 Mobile MK-36 2.0Ghz. SSE, SSE2, SSE3
Chipset (Southbridge): nVidia nForce 410/430 MCP rev. A3.
Videocard: NVIDIA Geforce Go 6150.
HDD: Samsung HM080JI S-ATA, 80 GB.
Audio: Realtek ACL883.
WiFi: Zydas Z1211B.

1) My first installation attempt stopped after installation screen appeared. The installation froze and after a lot of internet research I figured out that the first revision didn't support S-ATA drives on NForce chipsets. I injected the the iso with the new ATA kext and from there the installation went smooth. I already read that this is fixed in R2 so this shouldn't be happen anymore.

2) After installation, it came to my first try to boot which ended up abruptly with a kernel panic. It worked out that the problem was a non support NVidia graphic card. I had to delete some of the NV* and Ge* kext and after this the configuration wizard appears.

3) After installation and configuration the system worked, partially. I had to install some drivers for my Zydas Z1211B. Actually this a common used chipset for WLan adapters. Maybe it is a good idea to included it in the iso. The driver can be found here: ftp://ftp.zyxeltech.de/ZyDAS/ZD1211_USB/Macintosh/ZDA211MacUSB_install_4_5_7_0.dmg

4) After a while I noticed that my touchpad wasn't working properly. The tap wasn't working. So I had to replace the one from the DVD with this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=21952&… ↗

5) There were some problems with my graphic card. To get it work I had to install the the MacVidia driver 1.0.81 AND NVInjectGo (just NVInjectGo didn't work) and the LaptopDisplay.kext from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=37630 ↗

6) My sound card wasn't working and I had to install the kext from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520 ↗

My wish list for revision 2:
1) Full support for my graphic card, because I don't have QE / CI support right now. Zeph, I know this is not exactly your business

2) A kernel which supports SpeedStep or PowerNow. My CPU consumes the maximum power all the time. That means the fan is running all the time and the battery time is very short. So maybe it would be a good idea to provide the second revision with CPU throttle kext and/or kernel to reduce the power consumption (and the fan noise of course

3) Support for my X10 WTI remote controller

And at last I noticed two odd things and I don't know how I can fix this.

1) The system start takes very long if an usb drive is plugged in. Sometimes it doesn't start at all.
2) The MAC OS clock interferes with the XP clock. If I set the correct time in MAC OS the Windows XP clock is 1 hour behind the actual time. If I correct the time and next time I boot into MAC OS the time is 1 hour ahead so I have to correct this clock as well which means means the XP clock is wrong again and so on... Does anybody know what's wrong here?

cheers,
komeet

on the test reports for version 2 it says (actually uploading it) does that mean good news or what does that mean?

That means I'm uploading it on ftp for Beta Test.

oh. my bad. i got over anxious. i been trying to prepare my old desktop for mac. but its older than most computers its from 2001. so i don't even know if it compatible. which i am about to check

I know this forum is for the Beta 2 and rightnow is closed to some testers, and I know as newbie i can be a tail as a tester but i have expirience in Unix/Linux systems, so if you wish I can help as a tester. Meanwhile i'm reading some helps and tring to find some kext -just in case for the original iso and other i will modify-

Even when i tryied to download the Zephyroth's version 1 its imposible the torrent in the bay that match doesn't have seeders or lechers some one can tell me specific keywords to look for, becuse I have an "new" -used by my cousin- lap is the HP's tablet TX1232LA an I want to see it runing in OSX-86.

I can't wait to test this out. I got an HTPC, mainly used for satellite dvb, known as the CW3000HD.
If possible, I'd love to get my hands on the beta and see about getting kext's made for my pci and usb dvb/atsc devices and getting MythTV running with it.
Would look sweet as hell also, in 1080p glory.

A few other little things...
Would someone please put this on megashares instead of torrent when released? Megashares, you can upload a file w/out splitting it. Torrents take forever. Of course, ftp access is ideal

Just a small (nealy OT) question:
Why do you keep the Beta closed for Rev.2 ?
Normally I understand a closed BETA for a product thats gonna be sold ... buy you re not gonna sell it, don t you?
So, besides keeping some noobs from asking stupid questions, what is the idea of having it in a closed group.
Adding some more people from time to time, when exotic chips come up, will just make your work endless ... so why not throw it out and lets "fix it" in a really huge group, as I think that all people in this forum here are really interrested in gettin Leopard up and running ;o)

Just my 2 cents …

in case you din't found an answer to your question :

[cite] zephyroth:Vinbuntu ---> Imagine if I release it on Rapidshare. Imagine the number of people who will ask me the password ... And how can we organize us in order to have clean reports if thousands of persons test it ?

I think thats the same way Microsoft thought when they gave out Betas of Vista … and see how "improved" Vista is *LOL*

Actually my problem is, that my setup is so standard (A8N5X, Opteron 165, 2GB Kingston, Quadro FX 3400 (which never made it into QE/CI under Leopard)) that I wouldn t be a Beta candidate for your testphase ... and its killing me to read all your "protocols" without having it under my fingers ;o)

don't compare microjerks with apple or with zeph, you rule man :))

7eventh

Do not confuse all.

Your card doesn't allow QE/CI ? Ok but Rev.2 will not do anything more for that as long as a suitable driver will not be available.(or maybe you're not skilled enough to make it work ...)

I'm not recoding Leopard ...

Making an OSX86 release is just to put some things together (kexts, apps, some scripts ...) so that it will work on most systems.

I'm not waiting for anything. I don't have any release plan. I'm not organized. I'm just free and I will continue to be.

Those who want a new release ...

I've just one thing to say : All they have to do is to make one or be patient.

Are you still taking beta testers?

[cite] zephyroth: 7eventh Do not confuse all.

Man, if they re confused by such a post, how can they work with Leopard *g*

Your card doesn't allow QE/CI ? Ok but Rev.2 will not do anything more for that as long as a suitable driver will not be available.(or maybe you're not skilled enough to make it work ...) .

It works under 10.4.10/11 ... not under Leopard .. due to ... whatever ;o)

I'm not recoding Leopard ...

Damn, and I hoped for that ;o)

Making an OSX86 release is just to put some things together (kexts, apps, some scripts ...) so that it will work on most systems. I'm not waiting for anything. I don't have any release plan.

And again ... damn ... nothing to put in my Outlook to remember ;o)

I'm not organized. I'm just free and I will continue to be.

Sounds like an Apple commercial .. but a good one ;o)

Those who want a new release ... I've just one thing to say : All they have to do is to make one or be patient.

*sigh* ... OK … I ll wait ... BTW ... THANX for Rev.1

Ahm, silly question: Has anyone tested zephyroths image on an Intel machine? Would it work or it's absolutely AMD-only?

@ naquaada

I can, its sse2 though. I'll get back to you on it…

lol you are correct, with confirmation worth a shot though…

emaildopedrooo:
I too have an nForce 570 board and I've installed Zeph's 10.5.1 Rev 1 onto my machine without issues. Pretty much all of the older Tiger releases - inc. Tubgirl's, would not even boot from the DVD if the 570 chip is present. I'm sure Rev 2 will be absolutely fine for us nForce 5x users. Just for your information; my board is an MSI K9N SLI AM2 with an AMD64 X2 6000+

[cite] naquaada:Ahm, silly question: Has anyone tested zephyroths image on an Intel machine? Would it work or it's absolutely AMD-only?

I am not very sure,but someone with two machines got Leo on his Intel machine instead his AMD with Rev 1. =)

I had myzars 10.4.6 image - which was also mainly for AMD - installed on an P4 and it worked. Curious is only that the P4 was detected as Dual-Core...

[cite] naquaada:I had myzars 10.4.6 image - which was also mainly for AMD - installed on an P4 and it worked. Curious is only that the P4 was detected as Dual-Core...

Very good news!.

The best way to know,is trying on Intel machines but I do not have any. Looking for experiences...

i have acess to the FTP - i think - ive been in chat with bonkey, i just dont have the ftp address - anyone want to post it or send me a pm - on insanely mac or wikidot? - my names the same on all places

I have found a way for QE/CI on the ATI 200m/ATI 200/ATI 1100
if anyones interested

[cite] hackintosh4life: I have found a way for QE/CI on the ATI 200m/ATI 200/ATI 1100 if anyones interested

Yes. Spill it...

I downloaded the 3.35GB .iso read the Release notes.
For some reason, it says that this image is part of the Leopard Developers Preview.
Is this the version that all of us are using or is it some prerelease software thats been out way before t?
When downloading the torrent, there were 71 files that were stored in a folder named "Documents."
Upon extracting the .iso, the DVD was a whopping 4.7GB disk.

Please let me know if this is what everybody is using for 10.5.1.release of zephyroth

And will QE/CI will work on nVidia geforce go 6150 ?

This is the good one. No idea if QE/CI will work.

-----> hackintosh4life

So let's hear your solution. Perhaps you can put onto the wiki for others to try. As well as posting it on insanelymac and share with the people over there as well. But let see if I can duplicate what you've got.

Ok, everyone let me make a how-to, only thing is its on tiger, im going to do some experimenting with leopard - rev2 (zep) and later on today im going to to post a screen shot - if you dont believe me -

Notes
Major mouse taring
a random kernel panic about once a day
Dock sometimes has the problem the new mac pros are having - cant remember what its called
Ill post later today - this will probally show up on the osx86.wikidot.com because thats where I have full write access, and maby on insanelymac.

PS - My solution involves being an ADC and getting the documentation then getting the linux driver from ATI and then try to find out how it addresses the memory (kinda hard cuz its not open source) then I hex the hell out of the system and reboot and walla QE/CI - still working on hardware acceleration though - but ill have that soon!

sorry for the spelling - im only 12

Wyatt M.

im currently making a disc image of my osx86 just in case anything goes wrong - might be easyier to just upload somewhere and let people download it off there... im on the imac right now, so i wont be able to make a how to until later on today

So does it mean you are going to make a driver? or You are going to upload a bunch of files for us to hack it ourselves?

I doubt i would make a driver, like i could... but were talking a bit longer then… ill get to work…

Do you think that the EFI-GFX solution from Netkas would work better mixed in with what you have so far?

ummm while again the GFX would be a hard because its nivada so, i have another theroy…

the intel GMA950 addresses its memory same as the 1100/200m/200 meaning that if we could get vanillia on the amd we would have qe/ci with no editing but thats imposible because 200m only works on amd meaning its never been done... so if we took apart an intel driver and got exactly how it addresses the memory we are in bussniess for an easy driver with no hexs or anything... my ways complicated... and i would only recomd you use it if your comfortable with editing kexts/hexing/and able to reinstall osx if anything goes wrong

Have you had anyone testing on a sis based system. If not then I could do that this weekend, I'm currently away from university and my amd box, but am heading back up on friday. I can give you exact chipsets when I get back but the major parts are:

AMD X2 4600+ S939
BFG nVidia 7900GT/OC
Asus A8S-X
Creative Audigy 4 (non-pro)

If possible I wouldn't mind helping test rev 2 and will give more details about it when I could.

EDIT:
just grabbed the chipset details and such from asus website so:

Chipset: (Northbridge)SiS 756, (Southbridge)SiS 965L
Audio: ADI AD1986A (if I get audio through either onboard or audigy thats cool)
Lan: Intel 82540EM PCI Gb LAN

7600GT/OG isent supported is it? im not sure so dont critizise me because im an ATI guy not Nivadia - i cant even spell it lol

have you tried alliza audio? package? and are you using the rev 2 or the origional amd leopard disc?

If you'd actually read the post you'd notice I said I haven't actually tried putting anything on it as yet, since I'm away from my machine.

Reading the other specs and other thread I've seen there is support for the Nvidia 7 series cards. Also what more spec do you need than my processor, motherboard, graphics card and audio setup? Anything else is just peripheral really.

sorry, im a bit out today, i mean could you list all your processor features - (eg - see sse2, see3) blah blah… and please dont be rude, your the one who wants help right?

Wyatt M.

Ok, although I would assume the capabilities are the same as all other X2 chipsets that have been mentioned previously, but here they are anyway, (admittedly from the amd product data sheet and wiki)

Manchester (90 nm SOI)

* CPU-Stepping: E4
* L1-Cache: 64 + 64 KiB (Data + Instructions), per core
* L2-Cache: 256, 512 KiB fullspeed, per core
* MMX, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, NX Bit
* Socket 939, HyperTransport (1000 MHz, HT1000)

Anything else on the processor front?

Oh, I wasn't being rude, just a bit confused as to why you were leaping in with multiple posts about the thing without being a bit more careful (generally helps to write more than one sentence in each post, and if you happen to post before you meant to edit rather than making another post [ just future advice for a bit nicer read])

yeah, the reason I do that is because some noobs or complete idiots don't read edits so as standard I just use the multiple posts…

Big experience from insanely mac

oh, and as for beta's talk with bonkey..

Pretty much everything works with r1 except the dual onboard LANs. And I'm writing a driver to make that work. So it's not like I'm mooching off anyone.

Anyway keep up the good work Zeph.

Any Idea why this error is and how to solve it

I am using 10.5.1 release

I used lowest burning speed possible 2x

do i need to reburn dvd again

This my md5 checksum is this correct

That error means that Darwin can't read from the install disk, for whatever reason. Typically this refers to a bad burn. Depending on your burning software, it's unlikely that the ISO was corrupt (unless you got an error when burning). More likely is it's a bad burner, bad media, need to reflash cdrw firmware, etc.

Yeah, i thik the same
Maybe the quality of the DVD isn't good ;(
Spend a little more buying a better DVD, that should work, also the slow burning,
anyway, i've burned my tiger isos and the leopard rev1 at 6x and no problem =) (my only problem was that my hd wasn't recognized by the tiger and leopard installations :'(
good look
Reading, answering and waiting for the Rev2 from Mexico =)

Reburning DVD with 4X ( eariler was even lower 2x ) solved the problem

Even my inbuild keyboard & touchpad are working along with my sata hdd; which is also recongnized during installation

Will do installation tonight & post result here late night (Indian Time)

MacOSX 10.5.1 Leopard Rev. 1
Lastly, does anyone know if Leopard supports SLI?

[cite] prateesh:I downloaded the 3.35GB .iso read the Release notes. For some reason, it says that this image is part of the Leopard Developers Preview. Is this the version that all of us are using or is it some prerelease software thats been out way before t? When downloading the torrent, there were 71 files that were stored in a…

I like where the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD Revision 2 is heading with all of the bug fixes and compatibility issues. Instead of paying Apple, we should be paying Zephyroth instead for all of his hard efforts. Yet at the same time, if my migration to Apple works for me, I will definitely hit the green button, and purchase a new Macbook Pro instead. It Feels like PC's (for Windows-based) are going through a renaissance and are rejuvenating, haha.

FOR: zephyroth - and all others...

hey. iam new here but i got your first AMD iso with torrent.
is it possible to get the latest iso from you because i want to be a beta tester!.
i definately wanna run leo on my HP Pavilion dv6130eu Notebook. So if i would get the latest iso everytime
i may can help you. i will so if i get it.

Iam a Student at Tu-Dresden (Media Computer Science Diploma, 4th semester) so my technical skills arent the badest ones
but my english isnt the best sorry for that!

// type-in edit by puttabong: "badest" - aaah! it's "worst" : D : D

Greetz, Martin

in the attachment there is my first install attempt of your very first amd iso and my notebook using my SATA HDD on external USB Drive Bay…as you can see
all worked fine until installation finish - at the end the timer stops at <1min until finish, and only my mice reacts but nothing else…thats all. i were´nt able to boot
this shit. i tested the method with dvd-reboot and terminal->fdisk -e /dev/ bla, and so on...but this doesnt worked...
i can send you a second image were i made the fdisk thing and booted with my sata hd remounted in my notebook…but there it stops too. but the informations may help
you!?

I dont think rev 2 beta installed the bootloader on mine.. MBR - i get blinking cursor after the install

i had created 1 partition using HFS+ Journaled and GUID Table in the Options Tab - then i installed the whole OS w./o. French Language.
can you tell me where i cand find a solution?

When is Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD - Rev. 2 going to be available online? Is Zephroth uploading the image right now? I am so eager to work this out. Please tell me, thanks.

Today morning i tried to install the 10.5.1 release
It went fine some usual problem like "Installation Issue: Hanging at 1 Minute Left"
But that was resolved with the help of excellent wiki maintain here http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues ↗

How ever is also faced the issue of "com.apple.GeForce; com.apple.NVDAResman Kernel Panic Issue"

I tried the solution metioned in wiki but i am not able to reach till command prompt where i can enter those commands

Attached pic is the error wht i was getting & The system kind of freezed there not allowing me enter anything

Please tell me wht is this problem & how to solve it

Please also let me know if I can rectify this problem by booting through DVD & using terminal & step to do so

- Boot the DVD

- type -s at prompt
(if you have firewire error type ctrl+c)

- type mount -uw /

- type mount -t hfs /"Your dev" /Volumes

- rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce*

- rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/NVDA*

- rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

- reboot

I am sorry for my English
I have HP (Pavilion dv6240eu) and I can`t format disc

but during it starting it moves only -x
Do You alredy Own a Mac? I press continue and it freeze (always lan cabel off)
I installed five times, always the same effect !

I do not know what I have to do , can it will help rev.2 but where from to take

Thanks for this solution zephyroth

I will try it tonight and keep you posted with the experience

did you try the other solutions mentioned in the wiki? for me setting the resolution very low worked..

zephyroth,

Just for confirmation
I have to apply ur suggest solution in the terminal utility after booting from the DVD
or on the boot menu of dvd with flag as -s !

And also to mention that i have nvidia geforce go 1650 graphics card … if I remove all the kext related to geforce & nvidia won't it break something other ?

I remove all GeForce and NV kext's and remove -v -legacy. Works fine for me without trouble. Big thanks for all people who work on this project and for helping us to run it on AMD machines.
My comp. runs on both cores.
Problem is with booting(can't boot at all and for booting i\m usinf tiger-install tiger and over it iinstall leopard and problem solved).
Thanks again and god bless u all.

Puttabong thanks for posting fast.Will u tell me how to fix booting without installing tiger first. I try'd with fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0s1 and all similar apraches but still nothing.
One question. When will be rev.2 and will it be ppf file or whole DVD. I ret'd to putt darvin boot loader in this AMD leo but still did not test it ( i putt it like in iatkos 1.0i in disk utility folder).
your truly friend Lugmor.

[cite] Puttabong::) Nice! The bootloader is also easy to fix though!

lol...Really?. Maybe I need a bootloader on my head (kidding)!. lol

i have a MSI Megabook S271,
i don't help testing the new version!

I guess we should stop asking to be beta testers. I've asked 2x and didn't even get the courtesy of a reply. I'm just going to wait patiently.

I agree, and just to let you know 10.5.2 has released.

[cite] laddyboy:I guess we should stop asking to be beta testers. I've asked 2x and didn't even get the courtesy of a reply. I'm just going to wait patiently.

Any idea when when rev 2 is coming? I'm kind of lucky guy running Leo on one of my machine(Asrock 775Dual-915GL 10.5.1 Kalyway GUID) with no problems, but I have Compaq laptop and my second machine both based on nvidia mcp51 and rev.2 is my big chance. I see from discussion that this nvidia chipset should be supported at least in case of SATA, not sure about keyboard or mouse. Thanks for all the work Zephyroth.

10.5.2 has been released? The moment has come? HALELOOYAH! (lol) Can you give me the download link?

if it has been released? Where can we get it at?

10.5.2 Apple update has not been released yet ... So my ISO has not been released too.
And for those who complain that I've not reply to their request of being beta testers ... If you knew how many people asked me ...

Just want to share my experience of 10.5.1 release

"Resolution was very low ... tried Zephyroth NVidia Universal Installer … But no luck
"my Video card is this on 6150 http://www.nvidia.com/object/mobogpu_nb_6series.html ↗"
"Lan did'nt worked neither my broadcomm wireless"
"DVD writer deteted properly & working perfactly"
"NO QE/CL for me :("
"Sata Hdd is readonly"
"No Sound from my Conexant Cx20549 @ nVIDIA nForce 430 (MCP51) - High Definition Audio Controller PCI"

But there are other problem also like
HDD won't boot without DVD in drive
Sometime error comes because of which "Still waiting for root device" comes ( I mean if i try to boot 5 times then 1 time is success rate)

Any suggestions/Solution for my problem

For sound, get AppleAzalia ALC88x kext, it will work for you since we got the same one.
LAN, buy one of those 10$ Realtek cards or find them somewhere if you kept all of your used ones at home.

I have no help on your 6150, it seems that we can't have QE/CI on onboard GPUs that use system memory.

May be I shouldn't trust those Mac Rumors sites. According to an actual version tracker site, MacOSX 10.5.2 is in its last step before being finalized. It shouldn't be long. Zephyroth's DVD can be here today or tomorrow. According to the talk I had with Apple, Rep told me 10.5.2 is in its last stage, RC2 (in Windows Language, lol). Once the final is released, Zephyroth will integrate that update and upload the final copy of rev. 2 on all of our favorite P2P sites. I can't wait. This is going to be great. Let's all consider donating Zephyroth for his efforts! Zephyroth, do you accept Paypal,?

[cite] delian7:10.5.2 has been released? The moment has come? HALELOOYAH! (lol) Can you give me the download link?

[cite] bhast2:Processor these are my spec could i be a beta tester thanks bhast2

I think we must stop to ask for be beta testers, 10.5.2 will come out in few days and so Zephiroth rel.2 I think.
I think also that Zephiroth is able to contact everyone on this site or on Insanely Mac (by PM, mail, everything) if he needs someone for test. If he don't needs more testers maybe there's a reason.
For me I contributed in testing video drivers on 8800GT, but no beta testing and I am waitng patiently for the release using Zephiroth Rel.1 as my primary system.
So: Good work Zephiroth, take your time, keep us informed on progresses!

I am so excited and can't hardly wait for the 10.5.2 release to be released. Does anyone know if you have to have tiger installed than update to leopard for it to boot properly. Also does anyone know whether my LAN which is: Realtek RTL8201N will be supported in 10.5.2? Also my video card which is: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, and my sound card, Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 6.0.1.5502 will they have compatibility in 10.5.2?

Oh because I am a noob, if I didn't specify any hardware specifications, you can find all about my computer at this page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&cc… ↗

Thank You everyone, and thank you Zephyroth for your constant work on the release of 10.5.2.

Hmmm, I don't think there were ever onboard 6150s on real Macs but if somehow can someone can edit the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 or X3100 kexts since they are onboard graphics that use system memory I think.

I hope that the new nForce ATA uploaded by MeDevil are included in 10.5.2 Rev 1.

I know you probz dont need any now but i will be happy to beta test your Amazing Project
My systems specs are:
Abit NF-M2S Motherboard
AMD X2 3800+
Built in sound (Realtek) and external USB Sound card(C-Media)
4GB of ram
Nvidia 7900GT
160GB Sata Seagate HD
400GB IDE Seagate HD
Anyways well done on this amazing project! If you accept Donations send me the link
Or if you accept paypal
Cheers, C.Logan

I realize that zephyroth is still working on the Rev. 2 and will release it when he is ready, however, I was wondering if us Rev. 1 guys could get the updated Nforce LAN drivers (force-deth) in order to use 2 CPU cores without Leopard freezing.

Thanks,

Chagani

Still problem with booting if install leopard without tiger before but my system using 2 cores AMD X2 6000.

[cite] Chagani: I was wondering if us Rev. 1 guys could get the updated Nforce LAN drivers (force-deth) in order to use 2 CPU cores without Leopard freezing.

I second that request ... or was it already posted somewhere?

Was that an answer to my question which is:

Also does anyone know whether my LAN which is: Realtek RTL8201N will be supported in 10.5.2? Also my video card which is: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE…

Sorry that sounds kind of mean/rude but I really want to find out...

Yeah. It was an answer to that.
I have the same problem... No QE/CI..
Best bet is to get those cheap nVidia 7xxx GPUs since they are compatible.

Just wondering if 8600 GTS is supported in the nVidia installer because I will be replacing my onboard with this very soon.

[cite] sh0td0wn:Just wondering if 8600 GTS is supported in the nVidia installer because I will be replacing my onboard with this very soon.

Mine is working just fine... So is our 8600GT.

Hey Zephyroth is there any chance that u can make ppf file that can set com.apple.boot.plist form -v -legacy to -x (safe mod) that people can boot and delete GeForce and NV kext's and to set boot if they canot boot without DVD.
That is my problem and many others. Only solution is that one, as i can see from my point of view. I know that rev. 2 is coming soon but that will be very nice if u want to do that. I will try to see what can I do but one way or another everything is up to you.
and we all waiting for your rev.2.

Hi Zephyroth! I'm from russia and on our national bit-torrent sevrer there are a lot of people who waits your Rev. 2... If I only could place Rev. 2 on our torrent server, there woul be much more comments, how your new build works... Besides, I, myself, have AMD s939 4200+ processor and can hardly wait to install the newest build of MacOS X Leopard on my computer! Can you give me an ability to download Rev. 2 ?

xlamer.. rev2 is still in beta so.. its not released to the public

Here's my problem with Leo AMD Rev.1, I don't think it's mentioned before, so here it is :

I installed Leo on my AMD 64x2 AM2 4200+. Nothing went smooth, I got ALL kinds of errors, 1 minute Hang, NVidia and GeForce kernel panic, can't boot without DVD, you name it. Using suggestions found here and on insanelymac I got through all those problems (still can't boot without DVD though, tried evereything). So I get to the Setup Assistant where my USB keyboard is identified, languge options and finally "User Account Creation". I just enter login info and then everything freezes with beach ball spinning and a message saying "Creating User Account". Using MacDrive I can see all accounts I tried to enter were indeed created. So I try anything I can find, disabled onboard LAN, even booted with "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" and it seemed to work 'cause I got a message saying that "The setup assistant can't start in this resolution" (or something like that), but when I press OK so everything can continue, guess what...grey screen with th beach ball. And that's it, nothing beyond that. Any help would be apreciated, however I don't expect much.

P.S. I'm using MSI K9n - Nforce - 550

Other than that Zeph you're the man, keep up the good work, and hurry up on that Rev.2 thing...can't wait!

Iam using a Turion 64 X2 but i cant help you with that.
the only thing is that there will be NO final Rev.2!

It will be 10.5.2 Rev.1 (not 10.5.1 Rev2)

I am very interested in beta testing the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD rev2, can anyone tell how/where I can obtain a copy, I also want to say that I truely appreciate the effort and time that goes into the creation and distribution of this software.

Oops! typo on the memory, I meant to say 4gig of DDR2 memory, in any case is there a copy of the Rev.2 beta available yet?

btw, I am using Rev.1 and it' s running just fine after some playing around.

Were you able to install rev1 into anyone of your SATA hard drives? I think you installed it into your ATA, isn't it? If not so, how did you do it?

[cite] xlslx:no one (official beta tester only) will get/have a copy of 10.5.1 Rev2. The Final will be 10.5.2 Rev.1 which will be a public release. so please stop asking…the release will be soon (until 10.5.2 is released by apple)

And when will that be?
I'm going crazy with the waiting!

ask Apple! i dont know when it will be released to public finally, but this will be within the next days hopefully not weeks

And for Zephyroth and all Testers:

I got Leopard Rev.2 Beta 2 WORKING on my HP Pavilion dv6130eu - AMD Turion 64 X2 Notebook - dont ask how . it was like walking through the hell - 2 times!…but i installed it ONLY using -v Bootflag successfully on my SATA Drive. But booting from HDD works only over USB2! on SATA i got the com.apple.Boot.plist not found error. Any Fixes here?
Twice my PS/2 Keyboard and Mice didnt work everytime, they only work SOMETIMES, really!. My Conexant HD Audio works, but the Sounds are choppy. nForce 4 LAN didnt work, my CPU isnt detected correctly under About this Mac (it means 1,6Ghz Unknown) but the System Info detects my 2 Cores correctly. The next thing. It knows my BCM4311 Broadcom WLAN Chip but it didnt works too. Did i forgot something!?…yeah the Graphixx

Yeah, so here are my issues in a list: (i hope Zephyroth and all others can help me (Zeph please correct it in the next release if possible))

- nForce 4 SATA Drivers didnt work correctly (install worked over SATA, booting not -> com.apple.boot.plist not found error, with every bootflag, pc efi 8 already fixed <- works!)
- nVidia GeForce 7200 Go didnt works (QE not supported, CI dont know yet) (Zeph: Your mpkg nvidia installer dont works -> The Mac Installer Program aborts (error) - will test it tomorrow twice!)
- Broadcom BCM4311 (PCI-e) is known, but not working!
- my PS/2 Keyboard and Synaptics Touchpad only working SOMEtimes (works when a USB Keyb or Mice is attached - subjective feeling)
- Conexant HD-Audio Chip works, The System Info means (no Audio (built-in) detected) but sound is there, but very choppy!)
- optional: 1,6Ghz Unknown -> CPU Detection didnt works.

PS: 4 Bonkey/Zeph/Puttabong: The Fixed Packages Directory is empty (The Packages are 0 bytes in size!)

Thanks, and i hope somebody can help my with any problem!

Were you able to install rev1 into anyone of your SATA hard drives? I think you installed it into your ATA, isn't it? If not so, how did you do it?

I actually had no problems installing Rev.1 with the exceptions of not being able to install on SATA drive(But I can read from them, not write to them) and install a kext for my audio to work. I have recently discovered that there is a new AppleNForceATA.kext out there that will allow you to read/write to SATA drives but in order to install on SATA drive you will have to inject it into the .ISO file, I am still playing with this until Rev.2 is available.

The Rev.2 will never be final for public - 10.5.2 Rev.1 will be the next public available version. So wer´re all waiting for Apple´s 10.5.2 Release.

@All: Anyone can help me with my Problems 2 posts above?

Where can I find "official" 1st rev.?
I downloaded few releases that suposed to be 1st rev but it seems that they are not.

I have a big issue. Whit this dvd I cant get installation to start.
System starts to reboot in Darwin bootloader just about it detects HDD.

I am currently running on Tiger 10.4.8 (JaS Release). Here is screen of dvd content so you can tell me if it is rev. 1:

thx infront...

it looks like the 10.5.1 Rev1 which is available through BiTorrent...it is official...the next release will be 10.5.2 Rev.1…Rev2 beta 1 and 2 are for internal beta testers only. but please do not ask to be one of them, we´re enough!

one more willing to test rev 2

My system:

MB: EPOX EP9NA-J Nforce 4 Chipset
CPU: AMD OPTERON 165 Denmark
hd1: HItache deskstar SATA 2
hd2: MAXTOR DIAMOND MAX 9
MEMORY: ELIXIR 2*512 DUAL CHANNEL c.l. 3
V.CARD: SAPPHIRE x1950 GT

rev 1 works almost perfect, safari make crash system when downloading, final cut 6 renders realy slow 1 hour of avi standard video (700mb) take about 10 hours to render video-sound imovie does not work, so, of course i want to test rev 2 and report bugs,i'm just deperate to be a beta tester, i share that wich wit too much people

[cite] xlslx:it looks like the 10.5.1 Rev1 which is available through BiTorrent...it is official...the next release will be 10.5.2 Rev.1…Rev2 beta 1 and 2 are for internal beta testers only. but please do not ask to be one of them, we´re enough!

I am not asking for being tester, i am just interested in my problem with this release.
I get error during dvd booting just around this line : " BSD Root: Disk2s3, major 14, minor". I get this error if I turn off firewire.
If the firewire is on, i get error that install need to go to secure mode or something like that.

either way, this is the point where booting stops and after 20-30 secs system restarts.
I tryed to unplug SATA hard and to use just IDE but nothing changed...

please help if You knew what is it...thx

Hi, I have AMD 3200+ With sse2. I have 10.4.8 working perfectly and i want to upgrade it to 10.5.1.
I researched a little bit and I found the there is EFI so it would be easy to upgrade.
Will it be available for AMD SSE2?
Can I upgrade my installation with the REV1 DVD?
Amitai

@ mrxa: at me the Firewire will be full-secured during boot too, and the BSD Line is ok too. It works...do a screenshot!

[cite] xlslx:@ mrxa: at me the Firewire will be full-secured during boot too, and the BSD Line is ok too. It works...do a screenshot!

i get these two messages but then on a milisecond some text appears and system reboots...
i cant manage to read it...

To Zephyroth:

Hello, do you think atheros wireless will work on rev 2? can you test (or someone) if in my computer will work rev 2 because I downloaded rev 1 and i am having a kernel panic so i am not able to install it…

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

Will it work on my computer?

First, thanks for all the great efforts!

I have 2 questions.

1) My system is ASUS M2N-E (north bridge: NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP), AMD X2 4800+, 2GB Patriot DDR2, eVGA 8800GT, 200GB SATA Disk. Would Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD work on my system? If it would, do I need to make any changes in the iso, like kext injection?

2) I downloaded Leopard-AMD-10.5.1.iso which is 4,698,669,056 bytes. Is this rev1 or rev2? If it's rev1, where can I download rev2 from?

@timeflux: This is Rev.1 which was publically (correct?) available - 10.5.1 Rev.2 not and Rev.2 is signed as Leopard-AMD-EFI-10.5.1 because EFI+GUID is avaiable in Rev2 and this works (tested on my AMD Laptop) Hope too that 10.5.2 which is now officially available will be integrated as soon as zeph has time to!

GREAT NEWS! 10.5.2 RELEASED! 341MB TOTAL SIZE, TIME FOR REV. 2

iam sorry but Rev.2 and Rev.2 Beta 2 arent available for non-beta-testers i cant (not allowed) to give it to you. But as the 10.5.2 is integrated into the latest 10.5.1 Zeph Edition it will be release as public version - zeph said that...

Thanks anyway. I'm trying the rev1 now, hope it works.

Wait isn't 10.5.2 being integrated into Revision 2 not into the existing Revision 1 (thus causing processing delays on public torrent sites)?

10.5.((1)) Rev.1 is available, 10.5.((1 Rev.2)) is not available for non-testers. but 10.5.((2)) Rev.1 will be available for public - understood?

what this forum is here for if you can help me with mine problem regarding rev. 1?
It is here for that (not only my problems of course) but i am seeing no help from "those who know solution"...

Since 10.5.2 is out should expect 10.5.2 release?

what tracker, when released, should we expect to see 10.5.2 on. TPB perhaps since zephyroth released his first edition on there and its still there. ?

Youre very unpatient right? wrote the same comment in 2 different topics…let zeph do his job well done first and after that he will tell us how to obtain a copy!

Let's all sit back and wait. Patience indeed counts. I do agree. If you want a flawless image, WAIT is the key.

does anyone knows if Zeph's leopard will work with my motherboard? it's ASUS M2N-MX (it has nforce 430, and i think audio is not nvidia, AM2 socket)

thanx

Zephyroth, do you think there still will be a release today (A) ?

I hope it will be released today. In fact, i am pretty nervous about the upcoming release. It could be the first time i have a working Leopard on my main machine. =)

at me the latest (for now) release works on my HP Notebook but NOT very well…hope the same too

Please any helps appraciated, I'm waiting for rev2 every second of my life. I pray and hope that my specifications will be supported by your very best work..

First of all I would like to congratulate Zephyroth & all those involved to congratulate on this tremendous great opportunity to get OSX to the masses. I was amazed how well Rev1 ran, Install, config and running OSX86 natively on my rig. If you need a dualsocket AMD Opteron betatester you know how to contact me

Hooray, the release is only a few feet away, hooray! :-<>

is it gonna be released soon?
i hope it will be today beacuse I want to update to Leopard since rev. 1 doesnt work on my rig

we all want to mrxa. including myself. rev 1. didn't work for me so hopefully 10.5.2 rev 1 will

so im concerned now. 10.5.2 update stopped all NViject or Natit, or Titan.kexts(s) from working properly... I hope this gets resolved and we see Zeph's 10.5.2 rev1 soon

Hi to all, i have tryed to install the rev 1 on my laptop (Microstar s270) but no success…

The install process stopped with a "waiting for boot device".

I have tryed some "distribution" and all make same error…

Today i have tryed iATKOS 1.0r2 and SURPRISE ! It BOOT ! The install process find the my ATI IXP chipset (i have see on the sceen with -v option, that it find my chipset with a AppleServerWorksATA ktext and not with AppleGenericPATA) and it boot fine and i have see the problem now.

The kext from all distro (zeph v1 too) not recognize propely the second ide channel (0x170 the first is 0x1f0)

The distro not work oblivusly because it is for intel not AMD but it boot !

In zeph rev2 is fixed this? maybe in 10.5.2?

Wait for reply… is impossible install on my laptop for now…

Configuration:

2GB Ram
HD 250Gb
WiFi Ralink 2500
Lan Realtek 8139
Chipset ATI rs480
Video Radeon Xpress 200M

The distro works in AMD if you apply a post patch from HERE (rapid share.com/files/82014094/iATKOS_AMD__Test1.zip)

This one is for r1 but you can apply the post pacth if you can install from r2, because the post patch is only the marvins cpuids, follow the "readme".

@roisoft

Ok, i do download the r1.

The r2 stops to boot at "Jettisonig kernel linker"…

Ok, first of all I am so happy that apple finally released the update, so Zeph can finish his up... I am sure that we will be proud of him.

I know that my Realtek High Def Audio on chipset ALC888 will work on Zeph's 10.5.2 Rev. 1. I also know that my Lan (Realtek RTL8201N) will work on 10.5.2 Rev. 1. However I am unsure that my graphics card will work out of the box in 10.5.2. My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. I am unsure the chipset (I am still a noob.) Can someone clarify either will my graphics card work out of the box, or is there a driver for the 10.5.2 release. Thanks.

My second question is, because 10.5.2 has a bootloader will I have to install tiger, and then install leopard on top of the installation. In other words, will I have to install tiger first, and then leopard.

If you need additional specs. on my machine you can visit the following HP page:

Thanks so much to the Zephyroth community, and Zeph himself (you rock!)
