Zephyroth Uploading 10.5.2 Revision 2 (Latest Release), Discuss Here

Here is a screenshot showing the package contents that are already available for download.

What are those three .par files about?

@kisho, sure the NewsGroup is alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

Follow the procedures below-

PC Users: (I prefer NewsRover, a NewsGroup /UseNET Client)

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

Mac Users: (Use Unison- a NewsGroup / UseNET Client)

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

Hope this helps out.

@dred, is this a RT2500 chipset? If it is, then Zephyroth said he included a fix for those wireless devices. Most wireless is intended to be supported now by the updated release according to my understanding. I posted in the first comment, the fixes that are included in this release. Visit mac.kbot.de for updated information (if there is any)

@dred, totally different chipset, I would recommend you to convince Zephyroth to include this in his next PPF. If you find any working kexts, provide them to him.

found a couple of resources that may help you:

I don't know what the exact model of your Atheros chipset, but the resources I provided above may give you an idea.
Working kexts are there as well including a configuration guide, etc. Worth checking out.

@dred, check my edit in the previous comment, found a few resources that may help you.

Can somebody tell me who is Hussein Abdulali? Is this Zephyroth, or is this another user that is trying to mess everything up? I see zephyroth's name uploaded 20 files, 1007.53 MB, whereas the other user took zephyroth's place and uploaded files 21-58, 1.86 GB uploaded. Clarification would be helpful. Thank you.

Screenshot attached.

Those files are complete actually. However, I'm still trying to figure out previous issue I posted above. I also see another part 58 uploaded by Poncho. Something odd is going on here.

[cite] bhast2:rar 52 & 54 are incomplete?

I just received some clarification from zephyroth everyone. Here is what he wrote to me.
Just to be safe,

There are 71 rar files and 9 par files.
The name is the same because I edited the previous ISO and didn't recreate one. (the script to make an EFI ISO was working fine with 10.5.1 but not with 10.5.2)
Don't take care about "ponchorancho" or "Hussein" I'm posting it with [email protected].

Still 19 rar and 8 par to upload.

Good job Zephyroth! =)

There are three par files. I think they should extract as you extract the rest of the .rar files.

[cite] farcaller:what are the par files?

Well, now we all know...megaargon is WinLinMac01. Whats up all? Yes, I did not leave this project for good. It is my goal to give as much feedback as possible and make future releases a success. =)

Thanks for asking. I would prefer WinLinMac01 please. =) Truly appreciate that.
Question: The posts that I previously put from megaargon. Have those been deleted? Or they still exist?

[cite] Puttabong:megaargon, which nick do you prefer? This one or WinLinMac01? I can switch it back if you like.

Is QE working for everyone? Or just certain people?

I can't find the 9 parts. May have to check on Unison instead.

Which UseNet client are you using? Are you typing the NewsGroup name correctly-->alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

[cite] mus1:I have one strange bug: Finder->Go To -> Connect to Server... doesn't work at all, no matter what I type in, it always says the URL would be invalid. I also cannot connect to smb-shares: "connection failed". I guess these bugs may be related.

Oh sorry, since you were talking about connect to server, I assumed you were referring about the connection difficulty to the NewsGroups. Is the Finder problem you are experiencing in the current release (10.5.2 Rev.2) or a previous release by Zephyroth?

Can someone post the NZB file on rapidshare. I'm checking everywhere but it just seems I can't find all of Zephyroth's packages. Zephyroth takes care of the first 21 files, then Hussein takes over. I don't know how this is possible. Also, there is a .par file missing as p-J had stated.

[cite] p-J:No one who can be kind enough to upload part 3 for me on rapidshare or similiar? I'm only 1 part away

THANK YOU SO MUCH P-J. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. Aren't there 9 .par files according to what Zephyroth had set? Or is it really not that necessary? I'll upload Part 3 once download is completed.

How did you create the NZB, through binsearch.info? or some other UseNET search engine?

Is this all of Zephyroth? Or is there Hussein in here too?

not many seeders available. Is it fast enough to compete with the Newsgroup?

May be its worth giving revision 2 a try as well? =)

[cite] bubble_gum:[cite] Video cards : ---> ATI X2300.

Hello Zephyroth and other Hackintosh team!
I'm downloading Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev.1 right now, but now, when about a half of rev1 release downloaded I see, that in second release there is a kext for ATI X2300. Actually, my graphic card is ATI Mobility Radeon XT2300, maybe OSX86 gurus tell me, is this kext from Zephyroth's package will be suitable for me? This card is in Sony Vaio VGN CR11ZR notebook, C2D proc., is this important? I ask because now I'm using self-made kext created using insanelymac instruction, but it provides some terrible artefacts. And, the main question — maybe somebody upload this Zephyroth's package kext somewhere, I'll try it's compatibility with my laptop GC. I hope it won't be too irresistable for you, think you understand that it's quite stupid for me to download 4,5 GB iso for extractin' 100 kb kext, which can be incompatible with my GC.

can you please direct me to the link where you created the NZB? thanks. part 3 is being uploaded right now.

thanks a lot. really do appreciate what you have provided. Just 8 minutes left, and I'll give you the link to part 3.

[cite] p-J:[cite] WinLinMac01:can you please direct me to the link where you created the NZB? thanks. part 3 is being uploaded right now.

Yes

bins earch.info/?q=Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI&max=250&adv_age=7&server=

Just check the 4th one and make the nzb
That's zephyroth's one

~p-J

is the .iso even the real deal? Looks fake to me, because zephyroth said he did not upload all 9 .par files yet. how are some people able to use it now?

[cite] farcaller:[cite] bubble_gum:[cite] farcaller:Shared on TPB

1 seed... it will be downloading for 3 months
I hope to see somebody who has got the iso over nntp to join me.

Although I am uploading it, you know you can also download the particular file from the search results you gave to me from binsearch.info But its okay, I already have the Upload in process.

~p-J

Yea, no problem
Thnx for uploading part 3 :DD

P-J, here is the part 3 that you requested: you can download the file from, rapid share.com/files/98808002/Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.part003.rar.html

enjoy =)

no prob. wait for the other 9 .par files as well, if they are applicable.

[cite] p-J:Awesome! Thank You! Finally a working leopard dvd (i hope ;p) ~p-J

p-J, can you do me one last favor? Can you tell me what is the size of the 71st .rar file that you have downloaded? It seems small to me, 44.97 MB compared to 50 MB and above in the other files. Thanks. =)

I am also planning in creating a new torrent to get better seeding results for other users.

36/152 blocks left? am I facing the this same exact thing I am getting for the last file according to Unison, if you can just look at the 71st file listed in the picture attached.

[cite] p-J:Hmm i still need 36 blocks ah well, zephyroth seems to resumed uploading par2 files, only a couple left and i will be able to repair ~p-J

Which particular file are you referring to P-j?

What's the size of your part 71?

[cite] p-J:To rar file part 71 Edit: Yaa, im finally repairing the rars Now gonna extract and burn it to a dvd

did you have to use any of the .par files, or extracting the .rars was all that was needed on your side?

[cite] p-J:Like i said 2 post above "The file size of rar file part 71 is 43,3 MB and yes it's a bit smaller then the rest but that's because it is the last file :)" ~p-J

How can you tell if they are damaged, if the extraction process is unsuccessful? Will this happen to everyone? Or depending on connection?

[cite] p-J:I used 4 par files to restore 12 damaged rar files, but im extracting the iso now ;D

thats why you were asking for part 3, right? makes sense

[cite] p-J:[cite] WinLinMac01:How can you tell if they are damaged, if the extraction process is unsuccessful? Will this happen to everyone? Or depending on connection? [cite] p-J:I used 4 par files to restore 12 damaged rar files, but im extracting the iso now ;D

Yes that depends on wheter one could get all the parts, use macpar deluxe on osx to check your rar files

Use the Post-Installation Thread ***STICKY to report this. The full name of the discussion thread is [Sticky] 10.5.2 Revision 2 Discussion (Discuss your issues here if you have any)

Should be the first thread listed on the 10.5.2 Discussion Category. =)

[cite] NUCLEaR:Help on chain booting error anyone?

oh, so in my situation, if I get all of the parts successfully I don't have to .par anything further, right? Simply extract and burn on disc I would assume. =)

[cite] p-J:Yes, but i also needed the recovery par files to rapair a couple other rar files which were incomplete Im burning the iso now btw

okay, let us know how it goes. ;D Good luck, still downloading mine. =)

[cite] p-J:Yes, use macpar deluxe to check this Im right back, gonna try the dvd! ;D

Significant errors are showing up now in everyone's experience. What's happening? Is there incompatibility errors? I hope my video card (NVIDIA 6600GT's 2xSLI) work as they used to with Zephyroth's previous releases along with QE/CI enabled. Anyone experiencing trouble with GUID install?

@P-j, how did the GUID configuration go for you? All went smooth?

[cite] p-J:Ok back again The dvd now sees my hd an got a boot device, but after that i get the sam multimedia read write error. Ill post this in the other thread aswell ~p-J

@P-j, downloaded the release, all seems clean/fine to me. Will let you know how the install process goes. Hopefully "another" success. =)

You have to kindly request another user on this forum to enter your email address there. Your IP has already been logged in the astinews website, thus, it knows when you made an account. The # of accounts per each household, is one for each IP address. Too bad you can't renew that address since it all depends on the Internet Service Provider, lol. Ask someone through the Whisper Box. Choose random users. Someone ought to register you by simply registering your email address (a different one of course). Thats what I did yesterday. Check who is online right now, and whisper box them. You never know where you will get. Good luck, and let me know if you need any further assistance.

[cite] new2osx86:is it anstinews.de block the free acct.? I did had acct before when I down load 10.5.1, and now expired. I go and gave my email address and get the error like this: "erroranmelden". Does any one know what happend? Thanks alot

Yes, according to what I experienced, they keep a track of email address too (you can always create a free email at any of your favorite email providers)
the whisper box is used when you want to PM (Forum language) someone. To use it, type the name of the user you want to send a message to (case-sensitive), and input your message. You should be receiving message later of course. To find out if you got a response, when you log in, you should be seeing the name of that user Last Active on the Whisper Box (that way you can find out if he/she responded to your inquiry).

[cite] new2osx86:thx Winlinmac01! you are a fastest helping man in this forum! I did not know that they keep track on ip. Do you think they also keep tracking on email address too? By the way, how too using the whisper box ? this is new for me hehehe

Well, be aware its IP that your ISP registers to you, not your system, not your home network. Keep in mind that. =)

[cite] new2osx86:Now I know whisper box = PM ! Thx for that ! Now I'm going to find the way to change my wan IP by off/on the modem hope this works [cite] WinLinMac01: the whisper box is used when you want to PM (Forum language) someone.

If you were able to download all 71 files without a hitch, I doubt there should be any other problem(s). =)

[cite] Hit:Thank you so much for using Usenet(Takes about 30~40Min to download now for me ) Toobad you didn't upload the 8GB Version, I have some Dual Layer discs here EDIT: And why didn't you add PAR files, I hope it all goes fine but if only one rar misses a byte all the data can't be used unless there are par files

Hopefully the PPF will address some of the issues other users are facing such as dual booting Mac & Windows.

[cite] Cromwell:[cite] p-J: The ppf isn't finished yet, it will take about 2/3 weeks as zephyroth stated "I plan to make a ppf in 2 or 3 weeks with other fixes, NatitX1300, the latest QuickTime and iTunes ... etc."

Zephyroth also stated that all further releases would be as PPF.
Hmmm... Maybe its not so hard as I think to make ppf patch having both 10.5.2 AMD EFI rev.1 and 10.5.2 AMD EFI rev.2? =)

Well, if all 71 files are extracted without a hitch, most likely there shouldn't be any problems.

[cite] Hit:[cite] WinLinMac01:If you were able to download all 71 files without a hitch, I doubt there should be any other problem(s). =) [cite] Hit:Thank you so much for using Usenet(Takes about 30~40Min to download now for me ) Toobad you didn't upload the 8GB Version, I have some Dual Layer discs here EDIT: And why didn't you add…

Well usenet it really big there is a very big chance some bytes get lots while being send over all servers, that's why the PAR Repair system was build up
luckily tough the RAR's where all fine

@minibuu, try a method similar to this: docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107586

He must have done that, but did not specifically state that he did. bajanboy, have you tried using kext-helper to install the kext?

[cite] gaz919:bajanboy you just need to use kext helper it is in the install now, find the kext and drag it into kext helper then type in you admin password, go advanced press permissions and script, note the script on the right (this is a kext install script with permissions) Then choose run. It will install and the permissions will…

Give your specs to Zephyroth and he should be able to do something about it.

[cite] Freosan89:Just installed Zephyrod 10.5.2 Rev2 and it was first success after Tiger for me, rev1 hangs during installation. The installation though didn't run well from normal mode(frozen 39 min left) and went fine only under -x. I've got few issues now. Can boot only with -f(same on Tiger), graphic card doesn't support…

Glad to hear its working now cgsheen. Pretty soon the whole AMD planet / hardware will be support. :DD

[cite] cgsheen:Wow... Zephyroth 10.5.2 r2 is the FIRST (only) Leopard AMD dist. that will actually get to the OS X Installer on my Compaq V2312us laptop! I still don't know if the Installer will be successful, but this is a HUGE step for this hardware! Pretty cool. Only way to even try my lappy before was via external HD. If this…

You can Wispher me, thats all. Or email email with the address found at the binsearch.info results.

[cite] Freosan89:Could you tell me please how can I send specs to Zephyroth and contact other members as I can't find those options. Many thanks

The patch exceeded 4gigs, therefore he decided to come up with a new release instead and slipstream. =)

[cite] psychonautuk:Is this the full image, I was under the impresssion Zeph was going to upload a package so you could patch the previous ISO. Did this happen and where can I get it? I dont want to have to download another 4 GB ISO!

Search the forums, please. Oh...you can most likely find it through the bay, or tinyurl.com, its floating around. Be warned that the speeds are incredibly slower in torrents than Newsgroups. =)

[cite] xpayne:can anyone tell were to download rev2 from torrents

I can't wait thank you to everyone that has worked on this
i hope my dvd drive will work now

downloading now from the newsgroup
Zephyroth you still are my hero
O and everyone else that made this happen you are me heroes too
bhast2

can anyone tell me what NewsGroup is? Can you also tell me where to download the 10.5.2 Revision 2.

I wander if he had made some changes to the rar files that had already been uploaded and was just trying to update them.

WinLinMac01: just incase the new rev doesn't fix or improve Lan freeze issues do you think you can point me in the right direction to get a wireless option working? I have a D-Link DWL-G520 but couldn't get 10.5.2 to recognize it.

Hi, I'm a rev 1 user at the moment. Works wonderful!

I just have a question, we who are using rev 1 - can we just copy
over the new kexts that we use, like the nvidia kexts ? Don't want
to reinstall but still want the updates ;>

good job..waiting for the release...

hope rev 2 can solve my problem.

i manage to install rev1 . all working except lan and audio(conexant hd audio vendor id=14f1, dev id=5045)

par files are an addition to the split rar archive.
one can use them for recovery if one rar is corrupt.
if all rar work, no par are needed.

someone can give the MD5 checksum or SHA1 checksum of the ISO?

[cite] WinLinMac01:I just received some clarification from zephyroth everyone. Here is what he wrote to me. Just to be safe, There are 71 rar files and 9 par files. The name is the same because I edited the previous ISO and didn't recreate one. (the script to make an EFI ISO was working fine with 10.5.1 but not with 10.5.2) Don't take…

"Hussein" is me. Sorry I thought that uploading worked the same way as torrents. So I tried to upload (share) the first 26 file I had downloaded. I don't know why its showing my name for the other ones from 27 onwards. I don't even have those files yet.

Sorry if I have screwed something up

Sorry, but i don't understand to use newsbin, can everyone tell me how to use it?
I try to use grabit, but is impossible to use!

$ md5sum Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso
c460e58614b2074969983b03dbca00d7 Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso

grrrrrrrrr

how could ISO md5 be wrong if rar unpacked it without any errors?.. :-\

@farcaller
I have the same md5sum and it's working fine for me, just installed it.
Only thing that didn't work is the dualboot-loader. I copied chain0 to C:\ and modified boot.ini.
When I choose MacOSX from the boot-menu I just get a blinking _. But this may also be because of my TrueCrypt-Bootloader.

Yes sorry I made a mistake with the MD5 checksum.

For the Windows bootloader, Mac OS and Windows are on the same disk ?

What's the correct MD5 Hash? I'd like to spread the valid one on Infinite Mac!

[cite] zephyroth:Yes sorry I made a mistake with the MD5 checksum. For the Windows bootloader, Mac OS and Windows are on the same disk ?

Yes, they are.
C: WindowsXP (10GB, encrypted)
D: MacOSX (20GB)
E: Stuff (900GB, encrypted)

I first type the TrueCrypt-Password to pass the TrueCrypt-Bootloader and then I get to the Windows-Bootloader. If I skip the TrueCrypt-Bootloader with ESC I get "HFS+ partition error" (I guess TC trys to boot it itself).

Everything else works fine, nice work, thx.

megaargon, which nick do you prefer?

This one or WinLinMac01?

I can switch it back if you like.

Good points:
- my GFGo7600 works in native resolution out of the box
Bad points:
- QE does not work :'(
- permissions on ext2fs kext are wrong
- killed GRUB in MBR (or that was rev1 bug in fact, preventing it from modifying MBR?..)

Thanks for good work though, if I could only get my QE back…

I'm not talking about Usenet, I'm talking about the Finder in MacOSX^^

It seems to be a problem with the Sync Server application.

Hey zephyroth Are you still uploading? Doesn't seem to be any progress on any index site?

Im sorry but where is part001? I see only "Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI.part001.rar" yEnc, but it is uploaded by Ponchorancho. 8|

Downoaded it, extracted and MD5 is OK! = c460e58614b2074969983b03dbca00d7

Thanks, zephyroth! Going to test it on Phenom...

No luck for Phenom owners, or at least for me... the same reboot on startup of installation DVD.

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

All I get is an error !

Has this been terminated? or is therre something I am not doing right?

Is there any other way to get Zephyroth's leopard rev2 right now?

Thanks,

No one who can be kind enough to upload part 3 for me on rapidshare or similiar?
