Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 Issue Discussion

Post install is another thing, and @Standard only need fix the IOUSBfamily.kext and AppleViaata.kext, it´s not a great problem.

my ichat have an error,when i use the ichat's preferences,it often quit

I think I didn't incorporate MacOSXUpd10.5.2 correctly ...
All problems are related to files in this update.

iChat, Sync Server ...

I need to check this but at the moment I'm working on one of the surprises I promised.

some one try a dual boot vista/leopard with chain0, i have a error after install, "missing operating system"…
some extra steps?
some one know another way to do that?

@zephyroth:

2 tries with the same DVD I burned.

1st try: installation stucked at "about a minute left" mark.

2nd try: installation failed at the final stages.

I'll try to burn another DVD and try to install again.

Ok guys I really need your help on this one.

I managed to include the kext for my ATA / SATA controller into the DVD using TransMac. Great piece of software BTW. It succesfuly finds my ATA DVD and SATA disk. However, as soon as the installer loads the NTFS driver and detects my NTFS Windows Vista Partiton (which is not active) and echo's it's label, everything hangs. Is there anything i can do to avoid this?

Btw, on my other system, i still get the same error as i did before and i'm sort of giving up on it ever running this release .

Help would be great!

I had a same problem with the new MeDevil's kext. Had to inject the ones from Rev1. In my case the error was caused by my nForce S-ATA RAID not being supported (dev id 00ee) so boot was stuck trying to detect the partition on my RAID array. I've heard that some people had the same issue even with disabled RAID controller. Try booting with -x (safe mode) switch.

I have ACPI problem and can't start DVD... :S I burn it with macbook and pc at 4x.

i tried to extract the IOUSB* kext from 10.5.1 release to put them in 10.5.2. rev2.
but in transMAC i don´t find any dir which are kext files are in.. where i have to look for ?!

edit: with IsoBuster i can see the System/Extension directory, but i can´t edit the iso file, any idea

(have to do this under windows ;

Im using MBR for my hdd, could it be from a faulty dvd burn? I'll try to burn it again at a slower speed and see if that solves it...

[cite] WinLinMac01:You used MBR or GUID? [cite] p-J:The dvd finally is able to detect my hd and says it got a boot device, but after that im getting the sam multimedia read write error... ~p-J

Is it a full 3GB ISO again or just a small ppf patch?

Does it say Rev 2 in subject on newsgroup because I see a new AMD post but it's the same title as first release

reburned the DVD, it's working now.
but I get a error message at the end of the installation, using guid now.
ps I'm typing from my iPod touch

Edit:
now I'm having the blinking cursor at boot, I'll try to install EFI manually

I finally got it to boot, but when I press continue on the welcome wizard on the Transfer files from another Mac, it hangs for a bit and then restarts the welcome wizard.

Welcome Wizard: Identify Keyboard -> Language -> Keyboard Lang. -> Transfer Files -> Identify Keyboard -> Language -> Etc...

I'll try reinstalling.

Should I wait for this PPD Patch and do a fresh install with the new patched rev3 ISO. Or is it possible to fix it after the installation of this rev2 iso?

[cite] Puttabong:NUCLEaR, http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc9 ↗

Thank you for the answer.

Another problem that I have: because of the MBR being edited as of the single boot, Vista cannot be loaded if you choose Vista at the Darwin bootloader. You have to repair booting using the Vista disk. Any way to make Darwin bootloader work using Mac?

And no, the multi-boot doesn't work.

I finally got it too boot, I'm now trying to restore from my timemachine backup, but it seems to be hanging at the transfer of the applications folder...

Seems to be a lot of disk activity still, I'll let it be for a couple minutes longer, its 17 gb

Edit: it works but just taking longer then I expected, its copying the files to support the applications now...

Edit2: IT'S ALIIVEEE!, it's fully working and i got all my files back which i had before, I'm now using guid for my hard drive

I had problems booting with Rev 1 so I thought I would try Rev2. The problem is now I cannot even install. While processing FixGUID at the end of the installation I get an assertion failure NSInternalInconsistency in IFInstallPlan.m:301.
The disk I try to install to contains one single partition which I have set to use GUID.

The install of leopard 10.5.2. rev2 was successful on my system, the only problem I have so far is that I go a security and permissions error on the /Library/StartupItems directory for the RTL8187L wifi driver, once that problem was corrected I am still unable to use the network because the rtl8187.kext or the client software dont work. The workaround was for me to use my wireless D-link g-122 USB stick.

If anyone have any ideas on fixing this it would be appreciated.

My base system is:

Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe

Ohhh sorry, started a new thread already. Closing it...

I found in torrent . I download Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso then I burn dvd at 2x. restart to dvd boot , I press f8 then enter , it pop up , it said please hold the power or restart computer, I press -v , -x, -s, all no go, still lot of panics, dont know why,

i had the same problem so what i did was follow the instructions on the wiki about fixing the guid bootloader and problem solved

now all im having problems with is for somereason my energy saver and screensaver wont come up in system preferences

OOps zephyroth…the new image did the same trick by endless reboot loop while installing from DVD once again...Could you please tell me why?Or the hardware did NOT support? Tho,really appreciate you kind and hard work!

Regards & Thanx!

Finally got my first working install with this version, but it only works if I install without any of the drivers. So default video only and no network for me. I'm new at this so I guess I'll be spending days searching forums and Google trying to figure out how to get my video card and network working but hey, at least I'm up and running! Thanks Zeph!

i am stuck in the 1 minute left again,and when i reboot still waiting for root.

ps. @ zephyroth on your next ppf can you put the asrock uli chipset 0x522910B9 on the sata section of the appleviaata kext,because if you put it at the ata section you can enable ide1 and ide2 and udma but not sata controler.thanks!

For me it worked only in single boot (only tryed darwin on mbr) and with the nforce 2,3,4,.. third party driver (without the latter "still waiting for root device"). Even if the installation hanged on last minute, it was installed.

Is there any solution for the "Chain booting error" ... ?

I fixed the EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) issue -- my RAM was set too fast @ CL2.0, just went back and set it as "auto" and it didn't have any problems then. Installation successful!

However, I got a blank screen when I booted into Leopard (when the video and welcome screen supposed to come up, after the grey loading screen). I tried doing -v -x but that didn't catch any errors since the problem comes up after that…any ideas?

I've just installed rev 2 on my SATA drive in the following system: MSI k9N Neo v2, AM2 AMD 64X2-4400, 2 GB, ATA-DVD, ATA-HDD 40GB, SATA-HDD 160 GB., RTL8111/8168B network. Installation went smoothly with 1 minor ATIRadeonX2000.kext tuning to get my Radeon HD2400 Pro working. However, after installation I have several problems:

1. I can boot from my SATA-HDD only if installation DVD is in the DVD-drive. Without it I have blinking cursor. Fixing it with fdisk -e ... for MBR and dd if=./guid/boot1h of=... for GUID doesn't work. I tried both MBR and GUID partitioning with the same negative result.
2. I was able to install system only when ATA-HDD is on. When it's off, I constantly got message "still waiting for boot device..."
3. "Connect as..." button in finder doesn't work at all. Though in 10.5.1 it worked fine

Is there any way to fix these problems?

more detailed configuration of my system is attached below

Thanks, Dmitry

[cite] mus1:Already mentioned it in the other Thread: Finder -> Go -> "Connect to Server..." doesn't work at all, no matter what I type, it always says that the URL would be invalid. I also cannot connect to smb-shares. When I click on a share it says "Connection failed". Everything else works fine so far. The NTFS-driver is working…

I have the same problem,i tried to install Darwin EFI 9.2 or 9.1, it gives to same result, can someone know a solution to fix this?

i have the same videocard, i selected the NVinject 0.21 as well as the Nvidia KExt 94MB during the installation, it's working fine with hardware acc.. plus all the resolutions... I believe that you can install it even after the Leopard Installation. Download Tinkertool in order to see those hidden directories.. then run the packages that you need instead of going back in the Installation menu. good luck.

Those who have LAN problems with M2N-E boards with nForce 570 chipset should try following kext file:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=89475&… ↗

It's in beta stage and extremely unstable but still a good start.

Also I thouht my system didn't have audio but turned out there is. About my mac doesn't display any audio hardware but I am able to play audio files. Strange, but as long as it works I'm happy.

Thanks zephyroth

Ok so now I've got more problems than with rev.1 Got the "Still waiting for root device" error on startup of DVD..

I have the SB600 chipset, and a 120Gb IDE HDD.. Help please!

**update**
I did install leo 10.5.2 v2 again and this time I have my video working 100% with NVinj 256mb .
the one this I'm sure that its not working is the RT2500USBWirelessDriver, I did select it in three different PC plus laptop. when I restart the mac and look under Extensions folder I can't find RT2500USBWirelessDriver kext, I have to install it manually! is there any fix for this issue?

[cite] WinLinMac01:copy the kext to your dvd and reburn the iso if thats the case, don't forget to patch it correctly

Is there any software I can use to do this in Mac or windows? or even tutorial on how-to add kexts & repair permissions. the problem I know I'm going to face is the permissions for this kext files

Ok i thing i did something wrong while posting. I'll post it again:

Since I have an SB600 chipset I injected the kext that can be found on this forum for this chipset and now it detects both my ATA dvdrom and my SATA disk. However i now can't get past the NTFS partition detecting sequence...

@the rest: Does anybody else suffer from this? I have 2 NTFS partitions: 1 Windows RE OEM rescue partition and a large OS/storage partition. The intaller doesnt give any errors, not even in verbose mode. I can't just remove all of those partitions since it's actually my office notebook .

I also tryed installing through an USB IDE controller connected to an old harddisk while having the original one disconnected. Except for the poor performance, the OS crashes when it reaches the welcome wizzard. I get a totally crewed up graphical interface with nothing readable on it an stuttering sound... I thought having an ATI 2400 HD was a good thing since it's included in the *real* I Mac we have on the office...

Can anybody help me with this?

[cite] WinLinMac01:transmac is what I know should work, there were a couples I can't recall at the moment that are floating around in this forum.

Thank you very much for the info. transmac sound really promising! I never worked with replacing file in Mac DVD before, do they have to be bootable DVD like windows? does transmac modify any of permissions?

I am probably an idiot but…I installed 10.5.2rev1 no problem on my dell 1501,got the iso for rev2 file hash is a match. I deleted my first install and went to load up the new one.When i put the disk in
and boot from cd it starts to load but after it reaches the apple screen(like 40sec) it just hangs like it is trying to boot an install that is already there? Anyone have an idea?

i have a hp pavilion dv5000 with amd turion ml 32. i have tried to install leopard many times and with the same results... i get it installed till it says" about a minute left" and it just says that for an hour.. so i moved the mouse and it froze for 5 minutes and then shuts off... i need to know if zephyroth version will work on mine and if i will be able to dual boot windows vista and leopard... if i can... will somebody help me out with this

So I have my 10.5.2 Rev 2 running. x1600 kext is still broken after install (1024x768 screen WITH QE/CI). Installed Maclovin's x1600 for 0x71C2 DevID got me 1440x900 resolution (19" WS monitor), but now I don't have QE/CI.

Forcedeth detects my card, and brings it up, but won't get information from DHCP on the Router. Manually configured all the settings gets me internet.

Aside from those, I see no issues. Would like to get my x1600 working though

have you installed the leo graphics update?

btw it wont let me use the activity monitor says permissions are wrong and i have used repair permissions already to try and fix that

[cite] laxattack:have you installed the leo graphics update? btw it wont let me use the activity monitor says permissions are wrong and i have used repair permissions already to try and fix that

I have not installed the Graphics Update. I didn't realize this was required.

Now, if I install the Gfx update, will I need to patch with Marvin's? Because I don't have the luxary of a second install of OSX to run it from. I'll do some research and see what it's all about, as I haven't used it yet.

I just want to ask if this release has fixed the Time Machine? some people saying that v1 they need to patch it to make TM work! any update one this release?

just interested in knowing

can the rev. 2 work with ati x200+sb450?
i hv try rev.1 which cant work,
it juz cant find my sata harddisk(still waiting for root device forever)

can anyone kindly tell me if it can work or not?

Your dev ID is supported in rev2 but i don´t know if it works for you.

i have run the graphics update from apple w/o patching just fine

Hi - just installed both rev1&2 - with v1 I had problems with my RTL8139C card - only works with CPUS=1 the alternative (orbtz?) driver intermittently freezed. I was hoping rev2 would fix this - but unfortunately the same problem is still present... but in Rev2 the problem with connecting to servers was also present... for both I did use the AppleHDA patcher to get my ALC883 working...

Anyone have any ideas how I can fix the networking problems - the issue does seem a driver issue and how it copes with networking when two (AMD/VIA?) cores are present - using the alternative (orbtz?) driver semi fixes the problem but if you notice ping times - some are minus with two cores, normal when using one core. I read this is a CPU driver issue, it was present on Win32 machines some time back and its related to core timing ... Anyone know if I buy an alternate network card e.g. Intel/RTL 1GB card - whether this issue will be fixed?

Anyway a big thanks to Zeph for the hard work.

ive install now rev 2. but if i boot the system, there is an error: no permission sign... what now?

[cite] WinLinMac01:yes it works. However, you need another backup device, i.e. another hard drive or external, etc. thats what I encountered. [cite] ka911:I just want to ask if this release has fixed the Time Machine? some people saying that v1 they need to patch it to make TM work! any update one this release?

thank you again!

I can't access my shares on my NAS. I've seen some discussion when I searched and some resolved the issue, but no directions on how to. When I try to connect to Server I can't do it that way either.

Hello, I have recently download "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso" and burned it at 2x. I have a hp dv6748us laptop, you can find the specifications here: google3 cnet.com.com/laptops/hp-pavilion-dv6748us-turion/4507-3121_7-32815783.html?tag=specs
When I boot from the dvd, I get the usual apple symbol and the loading, however, after a few minutes I get a little cross over the apple sign and it continues to load but will not launch the installer. When you boot with -v I get a "still waiting for root device" error, which repeats itself every few minutes. Here are some pictures:

Ohh my god! I posted that same problem one page ago! Its not just me! I loaded rev 1 no problem! What gives? I know how to burn isos so thats not the problem! I am using the same disks i used for rev1. Please point us in the right direction!

Yeah there seems to be a problem with the GUID package. If you enable the installer log (From the installer GUI:: Windows >> Installer Log) you see it fails as it tries to install that package.

Easiest way to fix that, is don't check the GUID Bootloader if thats the partition scheme you wish to use, use the installer log ABOVE the installer progress window. When the install finishes the 30 seconds won't count down.
Utilities >> Terminal

umount -f /Volumes/{Install Partition Name}/
cd /usr/standalone/i386
dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1
dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskXsY bs=400 count=1
umount -f /Volumes/{Install Partition Name}/
./standalone -v /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v8

Close the terminal, and restart. Should be good to go now. The second umount is necessary, because during the dd process it gets remounted.

10.5.1 and 10.5.2 rev1 both worked me but not rev2, attatched is my problem (freezes after last two lines on picture while trying to boot the dvd)

damn...i ve install rev2 but if i boot this fu**in' sign at boot!

rev2 seems to work just fine except for PS2 keyboard. Its working before kexts are loaded and turns off when they have loaded. I see ApplePS2Controller is in the Extensions directory but still it does not work. Will probably require AppleACPIFamily from 10.5.1 to work.

Installed without any problems, used the beta Forcedeth drivers because they worked perfectly for me. Added the cpus=1 so that I dont have any problems booting and using programs. FTP, Bittorent, Adium, and every other program I use works great. Booting time takes less than a minute for me, and I would say its much quicker than Rev.1 for some reason. And the best part of all is that my LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S works now. Thanks for the hard work Zeph, this is an amazing release.

I do not know what is going on with my Leo Sleep Mode! I can't come out of sleep mode. This can be a REAL bummer. I Hope they fix it.

Sleep mode doesn't seem to be supported by this version of 9.2; if you need sleep check insanly mac for a different kernel

I was finaly be able to install rev2, while i had no luck with rev1. I have tripple boot on same harddisk 1st parition = vista64 (ntfs), 2nd parition = leo rev2, 3rd parition = linux swap, 4th parition = ubuntu64.

This is how i "fixed" trippleboot:
1. Installed OSX on parition2 using MBR single bootloader
2. booted OSX, set bootparition back to Vista with fdisk, booted with Vista DVD and picked repair startup
3. Installed EasyBCD added everything there (i could stop here but well its not so "clean" since ubuntu parition is also runing grub)
4. Booted ubuntu, boot parition to 4, fixed /boot/grub/menu.lst if needed, rewrite bootsector with grub-install and you are done! after this you have tipple system working from same disk and you can remove neogrub from windows parition

System: A64 6000+, Crosshair nforce590 mobo, 2x 500GB sata disk, GF8800ultra (working),ATA DVD rom and SATA DVDRW, X-Fi fatality (not working - wtb drivers?), lan killernic (not working, using onboard lan with http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73317 ↗ and cpu=1), bluetooth working, rest seems to work except linux parition dont want to mount (altho i actualy dont want it to mount, but you know when i tryed i got some error, removed extfs now already tho...).

Issues im having:
X-Fi not working because of drivers, could use onboard soundcard BUT i just cba to plug speakers up and down...
KillerNIC not working, not suprised, what bothers me more is that there isnt any real working drivers for onboard LAN, cpus=1 just dont seems to be real solution + Im still having some funny issues with streaming quicktime that is probably network drivers fault. For example: without CPUS=1 im geting kernel panic after 2-3 sec streaming of quicktime, WITH CPUS=1 my video just stops without kernel panic, so beats me what is real problem specialy because one other issue is also that Marvin Tools detect some cpuid in some quicktime component but for some reason it doesnt get patched... and last one is connecting to samba shares is not working

i tried this, but to no avail.
second unmout did nothing and the las line "./standalone..." does not seem to be correct.
wouldn´t "startuptool" be right?

havn´t tried: http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5 ↗ jet, is similiar to your solution.
but it is a nice trick using the installer log window to avoid 30sec shutdown and thus the need to
reboot from dvd -s again in order to get to the terminal.
under single user mode, the partitions are always unmounted, aren´t they?

[cite] rfuilrez:Yeah there seems to be a problem with the GUID package. If you enable the installer log (From the installer GUI:: Windows >> Installer Log) you see it fails as it tries to install that package. Easiest way to fix that, is don't check the GUID Bootloader if thats the partition scheme you wish to use, use the installer…

I'm having the same Window's shared folder issues others are having. When I try to connect to a SMB share through finder, it says "can't connect" then i use command K and type smb://<compname/shared> and it says Urls must formated like "smb://" it's like, uh, wtf mate? that's what i typed?!?

Anyway, i can connect fine through smbclient on the command line.

Anyone know what's up?

The installation froze at "about one minute", I rebooted it, and retried the installation. It was good.

I've always the same problem with all the zephyroth mac (except with the 10.5.1 rev2 which works fine but without all the drivers)…

Please Zephyroth , Je T'en COnjure ! Aide Nous !

Take note of all AM2NF3 Motherboard which your excellent mac doesn't work at all …

Why ? (it blocked on apple's page) ...

Please help all the AM2NF3 users !

For those with sleep problems, try this:

Open a Terminal window...

to check which mode is active, type in
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode

0=old style sleep, 3=new (save to disk style sleep)

==============================
to change mode, type in
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 (for old style)
or
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3 (for new style)

Hope this all makes sense!

Here's my thing;

- Installed rev2 over a working rev1... couldn't boot without the install disc.

Tried various things, nothing worked, so I Erased the OSX partition and installed Rev2 fresh. Same issue...

Not sure what's wrong, but i'm not even seeing darwin now.

I tried the recommend fix here (http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5 ↗) but that didn't seem to fix it. I'm using MBR anyhow...

Worked with Rev1, but now I can't seem to get Rev2 to boot without the disc.

Here's my problem. I have M2N4-SLI mobo with AMD 64X2 5200+, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia 7600, etc. All worked and still work perfectly except lan!

In all versions i have tested: 10.4.10, 10.5.1, 10.5.2 rev.1, 10.5.2, rev.2 i have never found a detailed working! solution for making this lan stuff work in my mobo M2N4-SLI (using forcedeth of course). Any help would be extremely appreciated.

I have even tried to modify the kext; when i tried to insert the device id into the kext i saw that it was already there so there is nothing i can do to fix it. I cannot even buy a cheap pci ethernet card cause all my pci slots(which are only two) in this silly mobo are filled..

Another problem that i found after installing zephyroth's 10.5.2 rev.2 is that when i press restart or shutdown it hangs for about 30-50 seconds (after pressing the " restart or shutdown" button that counts down).. In rev.1 reboot and shutdown was immediate.. Any tips of how i may fix this?

@trovardo

I too am facing this LAN problem - I have a Via mobo with an AMD 64X2 processor. Unfortunately I have not found any solutions to this problem as yet. Using an external PCI card have marginally improved the situation but I am still getting network drops using the latest drivers/kernels. I have used the following cards:

RTL8139C - Worked with CPUS=1, with Apple Stock Driver, worked intermittently using the PCGen driver using both cores
RTL8139D - Did not work - found no way of getting this to work
D-Link 530 TX - Works using the Rhine driver from pinxue, perfectly with one core, intermittently with both cores

I have also noticed that using two cores has slowed my iphone syncing/itunes generally - therefore there is some dual core issue here too. Insanelymac comments on this being some sort of buffering problem within the kernel - which I think is probably true and changing drivers has had minimal improvement. Additionally playing with PCI settings has had little effect apart from delayed transaction setting - which is having an impact on UDP sessions…

I think this is a core problem with AMD CPUs on particular motherboards - nForce and VIA chipsets being affected... apart from using cpus=1 setting, which wastes a whole core, I have not come up with any proven method to improve the situation... maybe others have?

So in conclusion I am still using the CPUS=1 setting to get a stable system - but need to find a solution - otherwise may have to give up and buy apple hardware...

In fact, i just can't boot on the dvd ... so i can't open the terminal (..)

And i think that all AM2NF3 users have the same problem ...

Anyone have an idea ?

Zeph, I reall, really, REALLY suggest you focus on getting the OS as stable as can be and not releasing another revision everytime you fix something.
OSX86 isn't for people who don't like to mod things so having your 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 version is like having the same thing. Sure, in 10.5.2 we have more stuff working, but then again other stuff isn't working anymore where it did with the 10.5.1. I can understand though having a latest version for new peeps.
It's not like we're going to install a whole new OS everytime there's a major update. That's just insane and if that would be the case I would quit using OSX86 imediatly. OSX is known for stability and not having to do reinstalls every month (year). OSX would be just another modded windows OS if this wasn't the case.

So I suggest, smalll fixes or updates. The 10.5.2 update Eddie made a while back was the best thing I've seen since your 10.5.1 release. A lot of users still use the manualy updated 10.5.1 release so pls don't abandon us. By working on the issues and not trying to release a new version everytime we can all relax a bit more (experienced and noobs)

Respect though for even making it possible for us to use the OS. If you said BLEEP it in the first place I would not run this amazing OS. As soon as I saw your 10.5.1 release I thought, now is the time to try Leopard. So I'm not trying to put you down or anything alright? cool.

Take care and keep up the good work.

two weeks ago i started with installing leopard 10.5.2 rev.1 on my pc. I didn't got it to work. Last week i downloaded the last revision and tried again. Unfortunate without succes!

I got the message "Installation succesful" (what already was great cause i didn't got that before) but after a reboot i got the following message:

Has anyone had trouble with their sata/dvdrw drives? I tried to burn an iso with two seperate programs (burn & toast 8). Neither one worked and Toast gave me an error saying connection could not be completed or something to that effect. I can put any kind of disk in and it shows up, mounts properly, and plays properly. For some reason I cant burn .iso files anymore and have not tested making music, data, etc. dvd/cds. Is this a known issue or is there a fix?

Any insight/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[cite] WinLinMac01:Have you tried different USB ports?

Yeah, definitely, that was one of the first things I did; no joy here either.

I read earlier in this thread that someone else was having similar issues with mouse/keyboard, and it was suggested that they insert an older usb I/O kext into the boot image. I'm familiar with how to do this via TransMac, so if anyone could supply me with that I/O kext file, I'll give it a shot.

This is becoming rather frustrating, I'm currently downloading rev 2 again from usenet to make sure that I have the correct version(and not rev 1).

If anyone else has anything at all to contribute here, please please please post it.

hauj0bb, just compare the md5 hash with the official ones, to see which release you actually got

61aae34354adc32f2d4b8737410899c4 is the md5 of the iso i have, and I'm not sure how to check the md5 of the files i'm downloading from usenet they're par rar files.

Apart from that in general its solid as a rock.

I do have few issues though.

VLC, crashes when loading, as does parallels and Crossover they just bomb out instantly.
DVDplayer cant find a graphics card that is supported and front row just goes to a black screen when it loads.

I *think* all those are related to my graphics card though. I expect all of these require Quartz etc. Has anyone else had similar problems with this build? Or can give me advice?

Oddly, Quicktime seems able to play movs.

Finally, has the front row patch been applied to this build? I'd read that it looks for the apple remote and if it cant find it, it freezes or somat?

Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Yes you´re right, your problem is the grphics card, you need another one because the onboard is not supported, i´m sorry.

Rev 2 didn't fix my mouse/keyboard issue, and adding in the logitech drivers didn't help either.

I'm certian that this mouse/keyboard issue isn't so much a mouse/keyboard issue but a USB support issue directly related to my motherboard. Others are having the same issues on the AMD nvidia reference-like motherboard models(Foxconn amd 590, evga amd 590, bfg tech amd 590). My only hope is to cross my fingers that another build might work for me.

[cite] WinLinMac01:However, I heard rumors that graphics is supported in Leo4All, but haven't yet tried it myself, since I don't have onboard graphics. =)

What onboard graphics, Nvidia onboard graphics or are you talking about of Intel X3100 and gma950? Please, tell me where is that post you are talking about, thanks.

someone please upload zeph to rapid, i need it so bad.

I tried google but not work. aww man help me please

i didn´t got USB with my Keyboard and Mouse working ;(
Nothing (replacing *.kext files in the iso) or change from USB 2.0 to 1.1 or disable ACPI support worked for me ;(

@ standard

I'm having the very same issue with my USB mouse/keyboard. I'm pretty sure it's a USB I/O issue and not something directly related to the mouse or keyboard. I've tried a number of different things to try and solve this problem but nothing I do appears to help.

I'm in the process of trying different 10.5.2 builds, and I'll let you guys know what the outcome is.

My setup:

Boot Image: Zephyroth Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI Rev.2
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+
Memory: 1gb DDR2 800
Motherboard: Asus M2A-VM
HDD1: Maxtor 6Y080M0 Sata 80 Gb (working)
HDD2: Maxtor 6B160P0 Eide 160 Gb (working)
HDD3: MAXTOR STM3500630AS 500 Gb (working)
DVD rw: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203P Lighscribe (working)

chipset VIASB600 (working)
Audio 883 6 Ch (working)
Lan RTL8111b (working only on internet; no AFP; no SMB;)

With rev.1 and RealtekR1000.kext the lan is full working, now, with rev.2 the lan is only working on internet. Why?

[cite] WinLinMac01:Have you visited the Wiki?

Yeah, i've researched this issue as much as I knew how to. I have several posts on the insanelymac forums, and directly contacted other people with this same issue and no one has an answer. I seriously think the root issue has to do with my motherboards I/O ID's.

When I boot the leopard install disk(generally with -v, but have used -v -x -s -f in many different combinations), the boot information looks healthy, it probes the USB devices and finds them, but about a second later it calls for a I/O reset, and that seems to turn off my USB devices(I've used PS/2 devices, and the same thing happens). I've tried a million different things, and especially the obvious things. I really don't think there's anyway to get around this issue without compiling a new USBIOFamily.kext that matches this motherboards I/O ID's.

How about ext3 support? is the same that can destroy partition or can i use it sure?
I'm blushed

I downloaded Zephyroth's Leopard 10.5.2 EFI Rev.2 but I can't install it. When I try to boot like many others I get the dreaded "Still Waiting For Boot Device"" message. I've been looking through forums all day but can't find a solution. I removed my SATA DVD Burner, and set my IDE DVD Rom as master and still nothing. When I type in -f -v I get EBIOS errors.I burned the ISO at 4x using Nero 8, so I don't think the DVD has any errors. Any Suggestions?
Here Are my specs:
AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+
2 Gigs DDR2 800 Corsair Ram
WD SATA Caviar SE 250 Gig
XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX
IDE Sony DVD Rom (Master)

I have tried both Zephyroth dists and both of them start from dvd but when the Apple Logo appears the background goes grey and a windows appears that writes that I should restart the pc in various languages. What is wrong? I burn the ISO on a DVD+RW, is this wrong or my specs are not compatible?

AMD Athlon64 3200+
MSI NEO Platinum M/B
3x512Mb DDR Kingston RAM
3xWD SATA 200Gb
Sapphire x1650 256Mb
IDE NEC DVD RW

when you boot from the disk press f8 and than type -v
and let us know what error you get

A lot of people seem to have problems with nforce3 boards!
You could check that your device ids are included in the kext file

[cite] Ianxxx: A lot of people seem to have problems with nforce3 boards! You could check that your device ids are included in the kext file

How can I check this?

Start reading... Here, at the Wiki, and Insanelymac. And remember, there's no guarantee OSx86 will work on EVERY AMD setup.

I have removed the AppleNforceATA.kext and then burned the image again, but now then the apple logo appear it starts to load something and then it appears a stop sign over the apple and stops every process.

I have tried to search on insanelymac for an alternative kext, but the search module is not working. I am googling it but I don't have any luck until now.

Try with the tiger version of the nforce or appleviaata.

I have the following set up:

MoBo: Asus M2N-E / NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP
CPU: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
Audio: ADI 1988 8-channel High Definition Audio (ADI 1988B not working)
LAN 1: NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY (not working)
LAN 2: Linksys lne100TX (working! using tulip.kext)
Video: Nvidia GeForce 7300GT 256MB PCI-e
RAM: 4X1GB OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 DDR2-800
HD: SATA 500GB (Ubuntu Gutsy, Zephyroth 10.5.2 EFI)
DVD: LG GSA-H55N DVD+RW 20X8X16 DVD-RW 20X6X16 INT IDE

Firstly: I'm trying to get my audio to work, I have attempted to run the AzaliaAudio.pkg (from your wiki http://osx86.wikidot.com/utilities-resources ↗) but I get a message telling me to "run the audio preflight script", I am confused, what do I do?

Secondly: I keep getting an error regarding ext2fs.kext, to the extent that it can't be found or is not set up correctly, the permissions look good and I have run "diskutil repairpermissions /" a few times.

Sorry for the vagueness, I'm at work, I can post more details later, I'm just currently obsessed with getting this to work.

Zephyroth, thanks for all your hard work! This is awesome and lots of fun!

For audio use this (media fire.com/?zjjgtdl1dqw)

and for the permissions open a terminal and type

sudo -s
(type your password)

cd /system/library/extensions
chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *
cd ..
rm extensions.mkext
kextcache -a i386 -e

reboot

I just noticed that my ext2fs.kext is located in "/Library/Extensions/ext2fs.kext" and not "/System/Library/Extensions/ext2fs.kext" for some reason...

Last night I tried to install this (Leopard 10.5.2 Rev2) for the first time and encountered a few errors. Basically, it hangs every time I try to boot from the DVD, with one of several errors.

The first time I tried, I booted normally. Shortly after the "Apple Screen" was displayed, a "No" symbol was displayed across it and everything came to a halt.

I then booted with the -v option. It booted to a point and then stopped, saying "Still waiting for root device."

I rebooted again, still using the -v option. This time several errors were displayed (some problem with sandbox and several with mDNSResponder, among others), but the boot process seemed to be continuing until it loaded the NTFS drivers, and then it just stopped. No panic, no error, no nothing, it just stopped.

Here's my specs:

M/board: AMD M2N-SLI Deluxe
CPU: AMD X2 4400+
Video: Gigabyte 256MB 7300GT
HDD: Sata II
DVD: IDE

In case it has something to do with my partition table (I say this since sometimes it hangs on loading the NTFS driver), it's something like the following:

/dev/sda1: 'Empty'
/dev/sda2: W95 Ext (LBA)
/dev/sda3: Linux swap
/dev/sda4: Linux
/dev/sda5: NTFS

/dev/sda1 was previously NTFS, with Vista installed, but I marked this as empty and was planning to install OS X here. To be honest, I don't know where the hell /dev/sda2 came from because I never created it... seems to be the partition-table's version of a symlink; has the same start & block count as /dev/sda5 which is a 200Gb partition I used to share data between my Windows and Linux systems.

If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it

Okay, I have an update.

I just tried to boot the installation again, this time with -v cpus=1. I tried this twice and both times it halted with "Still waiting for root device."

After this, I tried just booting with "-v" again. This time it actually seemed to boot... I got a fancy GUI with a language selection dialog. Only problem is, neither my mouse nor my keyboard seemed to be working. The mouse wouldn't move at all, and trying to TAB to the button didn't seem to work (and hitting Num Lock seemed to do nothing).

Both my mouse and keyboard are PS2--will this be causing any issues? I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn't have any problems as long as the mouse & kb were both USB, or both PS2…?

Thanks again

roisoft,

I tried running the Azalia_ADI1988.pkg, however, my audio is still not working...

I have to boot Leopard using the "-x" option, if I don't use "safe boot" the computer hangs via the spinning beach ball at a black screen. The black screen looks like the screen just before the the desktop loads, so close!

Anyway, my point is because I'm safe booting I have to manually load my tulip.kext using kextload, so maybe my audio is not being loaded due to safe boot.

However, I tried "sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext" but that didn't work either.

I think I give up at this point, I'm going to wait to see what the future holds.

Thanks very much for the help though!

[cite] mus1:Already mentioned it in the other Thread: Finder -> Go -> "Connect to Server..." doesn't work at all, no matter what I type, it always says that the URL would be invalid. I also cannot connect to smb-shares. When I click on a share it says "Connection failed". Everything else works fine so far. The NTFS-driver is working…

I have the same problem!

Plus, it's weird that without any additional fix in the installation I cannot see my hard drives during install and then I see them all after booting the installed leopard! I got a X38 board with a ICH9R controller in raid mode with 2-2drive raids and 2 single disks.

connecting to smb shares requires a fix, as it is broken in R2.
something about aliases, fixed most easily by eddie11c (i forgot the thread)

[cite] zuz242:connecting to smb shares requires a fix, as it is broken in R2. something about aliases, fixed most easily by eddie11c (i forgot the thread)

you can find it here
rapid share.com/files/102548542/ShareFix.zip.html

I have a small issue I’m having with (RT2500USBWirelessDriver). After I install Leopard and reboot my network work with out any problem until my next reboot or start my Leopard my network it does not see my USB card until I disconnect the cable and connect it again to make it work.

And way to make it connect all the time?

I think there is a real fix for this somewhere but until you find it just add -f to your com.apple.Boot.plist

I am a new one at the Hakintosh arena wink.gif , and i want to ask some questions...
i have installed successfully the Zephyroth's release (10.5.2 Rev2) on my PC:
AMDX2 3800+
3gb RAM
Nforce 570 Ultra (Asus M2N-e motherboard)
Onboard Lan
Sound: Onboard (ADI1888 High Def Audio (onboard))

The installation went smoothly (after connecting usb mouse/keyboard - PS2 does not work?) and the system loaded successfully afterwards; the only pitfalls: Lan Card, Sound and Video Card…
I have fixed the LAN problem (using forcedeth_nockd.kext).

I have not succeeded fixing the audio. I have tried the azaliaaudio.pkg, some adi 1888 packages, but with no success. Can anybody suggest a solution that worked at the Nforce 570 Ultra platform?

Regarding the graphics, my video card has 512MB but Leopard only recognises 256..
I am using NVinject 0.2.0 and all resolutions are shown (1280x1024). Another issue is the No Quartz Effects at the "About this Mac" section...

Besides the above, the operating system crashes very often; the screen is greyed out and i am forced to reboot my pc... I have noticed that this happens whenever i try to download the Mac updates or when i am downloading something.. I would be glad if somebody could tell me how can i see the kernel messages so as to identify the problem. I am suspecting the LAN driver, but i am not still sure about this.

I would be glad to hear your comments and to have the community's valuable information...

I don't think many people are left using the nforce lans because of this problem and to my knowledge there is still no real solution.
As for sound it might be easier to get a supported usb device.
Lastly graphics I would start by checking that your device id is in the appropriate kext files.
nvinject
geforce.kext
Nvdanv50hal.kext for 8 series
nvdanv40hal.kext for 7 series
nvdaresman.kext

In all you need to look for a line like this in the .plist file

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
			<string>0x029210de</string>

and insert your device id 0x"your id here"10de

It may seem dummy, but how do i find my device's string?

Additionally, only two Info.plist contain the id you mention;
nvdanv40hal.kext
string>0x004010de&0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x022010de&0xfff0ffff 0x014010de&0xfff0ffff 0x016010de&0xfff0ffff 0x009010de&0xfff0ffff 0x01d010de&0xfff0ffff 0x039010de&0xfff0ffff 0x029010de&0xfff0ffff</string>

nvdaresman.kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
                        <string>0x019310de 0x061110de 0x019110de 0x040710de 0x060010de 0x042110de 0x042710de 0x040210de 0x040010de 0x042210de 0x040910de 0x000010de&0x3e441fff 0x0000ffff</string>

I suppose i have to leave only one string, am i right?

Thank you lanxxx for the info!

rather than primary match you need to change them all.

If you have windows then you can find device ids in device manager, if not use a linux live cd open a terminal type lspci

then change the device id to the above format, also on the wiki for this site there is a lot of device ids listed.

I've been trying for the past couple weeks to install Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev 2 for AMD. I had it installed once and it was running quite well until I stupidly installed the iPhone SDK, which trashed my install. I've never been able to get it installed again and don't understand why I can't duplicate what was successful before. I can get everything installed on my external USB HD and can boot (MBR) from that drive. I can get into single-user mode, but cannot bring up the system from that point on. Once I type "exit" to exit single user mode, this is what I'm getting?

Jettisoning kernel linker.

And that's the end. No more messages and can't do anything at this point.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can debug this and proceed?

[cite] roisoft:Try with the tiger version of the nforce or appleviaata.

Hi roisft I managed to install Leopard with the kext from Tiger that you post. Actually I am writting from the Leo now.

1. I have a few more questions now. I have in the same disk but in another partition Vista installed, i choose dual boot from the installation menu of Leo but it doesn't give me any option on the start up.

2. I can only boot to Leopard only if I have the installation dvd in the drive. If I remove it it gives me a message that there is no operation installed.

PS. it can be installed from a DVD+RW as well.

Regarding your second question: This happens due to the lack of a bootloader, which is easily solved by manually installing it.

One information is needed to do this, though - Did you format your drive as MBR (Master Boot Record) or GUID?

You can check this by launching the Disk Utility, and selecting your drive.

Once you told me, I will tell you how to fix your bootloader.

In order to open Disk Utility, do I have to get to the installer again?

Is there anywhere within Leopard?

[cite] WinLinMac01:What are you system specifications?

My specs are:

Motherboard: ASUS M2A-VM, Socket AM2, AMD 690G Chipset, RS 690 Chipset
AMD Ahtlon 64, 3500+ CPU
2GB Ram
IDE (Slave) Sony DVD-RW DRU-180A
IDE (Master) Western Digital WD2500 HD 250GB
One 250GB partition, MBR-formatted
Radeon X1250 Graphics (Onboard)
Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit Ethernet (Onboard)

I know all this CAN work, because I had Leopard running on this machine fine before trashing it with the iPhone SDK (which I now know needs to be installed without the CHUD support).

Welll, Let me explain that I have one 200Gb Sata drive where I have 2 partitions. In the first I had installed Vista Ultimate and on the second I installed Leopard. I didn't used disk utility in order to make the partitions, but I made them within Vista device manager.
I have checked the Disk Utility and it mentions that it is MBR, but I just formated the drive within Disk Utility and didn't change anything else.

I have run the instruction for the bcdedit script and I get the option on the start up, but I get chain error when I try to boot to Leopard.

I have the same motherboard (Asus M2N-E)...

I (finally) got my audio to work using the Azalia Audio drivers off the Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 DVD. I made sure to ONLY check the Azalia Audio option --during my like 4th install--under audio drivers and my audio actually works now.

There is a AzaliaAudio.pkg package here http://osx86.wikidot.com/utilities-resources ↗ that I assume is the same one from the DVD, it might work for you.

I still can't get my video to fully work, they only way I can do a "normal" boot (without using the -x boot flag) is to delete GeForce.kext.

Regarding the graphics, my video card has 512MB but Leopard only recognises 256..

You might want to try this: nvinject.fr ee.fr/512Mb.html

This post may be in wrong place, as i changed from Zephyroth release to Leo4all, but i think that it may help others facing same problems.
The reason that i changed release was the many many system crashes i have had, but i have to admit that probably my LAN drivers caused the problem. Now, with the Leo4all and with a LAN card with Realtek 8139a, everything seems ok; i believe though that if i reinstalled the Zephyroth's release with that LAN card the result would be the same (no crashes).
The audio problem i mentioned on previous post is now solved (AppleAzalia with 2ch support seem to solve the problem)

Regarding the Graphics Card, i still have problems; after the clean install of Leopard (10.5.2) the only screen resolution available was 1024x768, indicating no proper hardware support. Then, i used the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92" and after a restart the native resolution for my TFT is now supported;
the hardware info for the mac:
Graphics by NVIDIA:
Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA

geforce.kext
Nvdanv50hal.kext
nvdanv40hal.kext and
nvdaresman.kext

by declaring my devices' string id (0x039210de). After a restart, a blank screen appeared and i was able to login in only with the -x option at boot…
I have reinstalled the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92", now i can login with normal boot...
However, i believe that the video acceleration is not working (Quartz Extreme:Not Supported, xvid videos playback is problematic).

Thank you all very much for the support so far!

Additionally, only two Info.plist contain the id you mention; nvdanv40hal.kext string>0x004010de&0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x022010de&0xfff0ffff 0x014010de&0xfff0ffff 0x016010de&0xfff0ffff 0x009010de&0xfff0ffff…

nvdaresman.kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

sorry the other kexts have
	<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
			<string>0x029210de</string>
rather than primary match you need to change them all.

If you have windows then you can find device ids in device manager, if not use a linux live cd open a terminal type lspci

then change the device id to the above format, also on the wiki for this site there is a lot of device ids listed.

This post may be in wrong place, as i changed from Zephyroth release to Leo4all, but i think that it may help others facing same problems.
The reason that i changed release was the many many system crashes i have had, but i have to admit that probably my LAN drivers caused the problem. Now, with the Leo4all and with a LAN card with Realtek 8139a, everything seems ok; i believe though that if i reinstalled the Zephyroth's release with that LAN card the result would be the same (no crashes).
The audio problem i mentioned on previous post is now solved (AppleAzalia with 2ch support seem to solve the problem)

Regarding the Graphics Card, i still have problems; after the clean install of Leopard (10.5.2) the only screen resolution available was 1024x768, indicating no proper hardware support. Then, i used the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92" and after a restart the native resolution for my TFT is now supported;
the hardware info for the mac:
Graphics by NVIDIA:
Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA
Type: Display

PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB

As "Quartz Extreme: Not Supported' appears and as Lanxxx advised on previous post, i altered the
nvinject
geforce.kext
Nvdanv50hal.kext
nvdanv40hal.kext and
nvdaresman.kext

by declaring my devices' string id (0x039210de). After a restart, a blank screen appeared and i was able to login in only with the -x option at boot…
I have reinstalled the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92", now i can login with normal boot...
However, i believe that the video acceleration is not working (Quartz Extreme:Not Supported, xvid videos playback is problematic).

Thank you all very much for the support so far!

Hi managed to sort out a successful installation, i now get to the bootloader options i then press enter for the options and i type in -v to start the process on getting into leopard but it then stops and says still waiting for device but just above that it gives me an error for firewire

ERROR firewire unable to determine security mode; defaulting to full-secure

Could you give me any advice to get round this problem maybe turn it off in bios cos i don't use firewire.

I'm having problems getting my Linksys WUSB54GS Version 2.1 working with Leopard can anyone help me to get it to work i'm new to the Hackintosh world

Success install rev.2 using DFI Infinity mobo (nForce4Ultra), SATA drive 1 (mbr), GF 6600GT, AMD 64 SSE3

Problems which I've encountered during post-install:
1. I can't use chain0 method to boot it: I have disk 0 with vista and disk 1 with leo, can't dual boot it using vista loader, forced to choose which hdd to boot. Still not solved.
2. Forgot to select NVInject during install. As the result: 1024x768, soft mode Solved by installing NVInject and removing all unneeded device ids from NVDA* and GeForce* kexts.
3. SMB support not working because of broken symlink (not started by leading '/'), solved by editing symlink.
4. Broken symlinks to java, all in /usr/bin (!), solved by editing symlinks.

your chipset may not be supported, if nothing else works, try getting a "sata to usb" adapter from somewhere and plugin ur HD as usb. once installed Leo should recoganize ur HD.

Hi, I have succes installed Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 on my PC.
And I have just one trouble with this revision - Broadcom drivers for Wifi don't work. OS boots normal, but after boot i have a message like "Kernel extension IO80211family installed incorrectly".

I use Broadcom drivers installer from Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.1 and it works nicely.

"IOAPIC : Version 0x21 Vectors 0:23"

what i should do to continue with the setup proccess

Search for my thread on my 7600GT 512mb and what needs to be done to get this card working in OSX. The card needs to have the firmware flashed.

is http://osx86.wikidot.com/ ↗ the wiki for Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 as well?

I have obtained the latest update to zypheroth Leopard AMD Rev.2 with EFI and I am unable to install Leo on to the hard drive. The hard is a 160GB Sata-I Maxtor drive and is formatted with hfs+. I have been hitting this " Circle with a line that runs through it" also, I am running an AMD 4600+ X2 with 2GB dual channel memory. Do you have any suggestions that You All can help out with. Here are some pics:

Any help is suggested.

[cite] Cyntek:Any help is suggested.

You need to search for 'waiting for root device'. Basically the nForce kext isn't mounting your HD because its either not compatible with your configuration or you need to try an older/newer version. You should look here ↗ and here ↗.

[cite] Devil In Disguise:is http://osx86.wikidot.com/ ↗ the wiki for Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 as well?

yup
and there is osx86leo4all.wik idot.com/ for eddies leo4all

if you ask me, it is nonesense to have two almost identical wikis ...

i know, but both wikis share mostly the same content (info i entered in zephs was copied to eddies) but
with minor differences. i dont mind sharing info but this is not very efficient having it fragmented
or duplicate.

it would be better having one good wiki (not like the osx86project wiki) with all info in one place and
the release specific (zeph, eddie, R1,R2 ...) issues in corresponding sub chapters.
for this the creatorsof the two wikis (the other one would be puttabong?) have to cooperate
closely, though.

anyway, i think this community is great, both forum and wiki(s)! i just wouldn´t mind it becoming
even better

i have a problem with my ati x1300, in the prerelease note it was written that it's driver will be included but after release it was deleted...i downloaded the dvd and installed it everything seems to be ok except two things that i hope someone can help me with them cause i searched all over the net for any solution:

1-atix1300 problem :i didn't chose any graphic driver in the installation...after finished it loads everything is ok ,but i can't change resolution and there are some artifacts.. i posted my problem here but nothing worked ATI x1300 kext installation →

2- if the computer stays inactive for nearly 15 min,the dsl cable appears to be inactive .. but no problem appears if i am working on the computer…

I've got a BCM4311 and even if it's detected, it doesn't detect any wireless networks. Strangely, led is kinda 'bright orange', which suggests me both red and blue leds are lit.
This isn't expected, as it's just blue when working or red when not working.

Some people said it should work on Leo4allv2, but I'm really not interested on switching just to check WiFi.

I get a failed install on Rev2 if I install the GUID bootloader… I can't use MBR because I have a Test Install on a separate partiton, my disk is GUID so if I reformat in MBR I lose everything. Any ideas?

hi y'all, can anyone help me with the ethernet issue? I just installed 10.5.2 rev 2 but got the same issue about NO ethernet. I have two eth ports, but bot are off, any one knows why and how to fix this?

I still get the blinking curser.. I remember last time I had this problem I had to keep reinstalling until I got it right... It never seems to work reinstalling the boot loader manually for me, I don't know why. I go into disk utility, my Leo disk is disk3s2, so I reboot and follow the instructions, finish, reboot and still the blinking curser.

i had the same problem with using guid on 10.5.2 r2.

i solved it finally by installing first without bootloader and adding it later manually:
http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5 ↗
forum.osx86 scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2520

i needed several tries, i guess it had to do with choosing the right disk.
where did you get the info about your disk from? you have to be sure about
disk3s2, better doublecheck via disktool@dvd and terminal@dvd/singleuserboot.
it seems to me that the nummeration depends on different factors...

Has anyone tried any other AMD release and NOT experienced this issue? Im almost ready to give up on AMD and go INTEL. :[

Which issue do you mean Carpet?

<small>edit:</small>
Zephyroth runs fine since 4th of January on my AMD Machine.

hah i posted in the wrong thread

Im talking about error code -10810, app crashes and finder crashes after hours of uptime from that mouse movement bug thread. That issue has long been bugging me. I currently have idelhalt=0 in my boot.plist but all that does is prolong uptime before it begins to rear its head again

Wow, yes, you are right mate. I admit that I have experienced this bug a few times in the past as well!

It happens very rarely, but I can't explain why either. A logout/re-login is required then.

I installed this today and worked great from the get go, only problem I am having is with the Mic, is not working at all. Sound is great, (AC97 driver), but I cant get the Mic to work. Used skype to make a test call and you can only hear noise coming from my comp. So not sure if there is a way to work around this, if anyone knows I will be greatful.

AC97 driver is the only one that works for me btw, I installed the OS on a Compaq nx6125 that has a Conexant AMC Audio device.

Spoke too soon. Issues with syslogd. Have gone back to the NIC

[cite] cute2008:i have download 1 to 71 rar and there is no 62 to 65 rar in rev2 why?

if it's ok, would you mind sharing where did you get to download it?
i can't find anywhere

Do not discuss where to find the release. Discussion of such sought is strictly prohibited. Thank you.

At first, thanks for providing great DVD.

I had a problem SATA with SB600 in my DVD writer drive. I'm using ASUS DRW-1814BLT.

In Zephyroth's original DVD, for SB600 VIAATA kext would be used. It almost works fine. But when I try write CD/DVD, then I could not.

After that, I tried AppleAHCI then it worked almost fine except writing DVD-RW; but later I found it should be my drive problem because I could write DVD-RW with another Liteon drive.

Anyway, I think that agains SB600 we should use AppleAHCI on behalf of VIAATA.

How do you think about this solution?
