iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Universal Final (Soporte Intel y AMD SSE2 / SSE3)

So, I found a way to add an EFI String to my system, and my card is faster again, xbench shows over 240 against 220 with ATIinject. And I had to downclock my RAM, ATIiject was measured with DDR 400, EFI with DDR 333. I attached the xbench results, I would be interested in some results of actual nVidia cards (8xxx and 9xxx series?).

But this still solves not the Quicktime problem: QT 7.5.5 needs 113% on my 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Opteron when playing in full screen (1600x1200).

BTW: The iTunes Classic Visualizer needs about 118% with Quicktime 7.4.5 on my system when running in near-fullscreen.

i was able to install the ipc beta perfectly but i got a few issues.. which I'm looking to reslove with some help.
First my wireless card wasn't picked up since I wasnt sure what package use since i have the D-Link Xtreme N PCI Express card. all of the other distros i've used had the package already built-in so i never even had to select the package.

second i selected, nvidia geforce 9800GTX nvinject only since i have a 9800 GTX but now i have artifacts.. but everything else works well on the GPU side

Everytime i try mounting a DMG the pc gives me the grey screen of death.. which i asked about on a other forum for another distro they said to replace the "seatbelt.kext" from 10.5.5 but where would i be able to find that kext

also in the about mac it showes my processor running at 200mhz but in windows its fine so im assuming its a bad reading

and last thing, is this distro able to use updates stright from apple or we have to wait till u release updates?

A little help goes a long way

Hi,just made my account here I was wondering if someone can tell me what drivers I need to install so things go as smoothly as they can.For you to tell me this,you need to know my hardware - so here goes:

CPU-Phenom 9830
GPU-ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2
Motherboard - Gigabyte MA790FX-DQ6
RAM 2x2GB DDR 800 = 4GB

So can someone pls tell me what drivers do I need to pick and for that matter how should I burn the image?... :-d

You have the image file but have not burned it yet?

Windows
You can burn ISO files to disk using this ImgBurn (free): img burn.com/

OSX
You can burn using Burn (free): burn-osx.sourc eforge.net/

Remember to burn at a slow speed and verify the disk as burning at your max speed may cause problems during installation.

We will start with your specs. Here is a link to your motherboards spec sheet. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Product… ↗

Chipset: AMD 790FX + SB600
Audio: ALC889A
Lan: Realtek 8111B
Graphics: ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2

You want to make sure you only choose options which you are sure will work. Choosing the wrong driver or multiple drivers from the same category can sometimes cause problems.

Personally I would choose the bare minimum and no graphics drivers (Not choosing graphics drivers will give you 1024X768 default graphics) and then fix each issue one at a time. You can avoid a lot of problems and also learn what needs to be fixed and why. This is however not really the point for this distro as they have done a wonderful job at including almost every fix you can think of. I have read about issues with 790FX chipsets but Ill let others chime in on this.

I would do this.
1. Get the disk burned
2. Try to boot the disk
3. Create a new Thread/Post under the "Questions Problem & Support" section. I would name it something like "Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830"

If you can get into the installer then that's an obstacle you will have overcome.

When booting the DVD you will be given the chance to add boot-options. It should countdown and allow you to press F8 to add these options.
Use the following option:

-v

Verbose mode will display useful information instead of an apple logo. If you have problems booting the DVD then it should stop on a particular line and you can post that information on the forum.

4GB of memory may cause system freezes. There are two fixes I am aware of. You don't necessarily need to worry about it right now but just be away of random freezes.

-v maxmem=2048

Is something known about the release date of the thrid PPF? If not, I will burn the ISO today

I have found some problems - 'About this Mac' shows 3.7 GHz Intel Core Solo - I know about the Core Solo, but why 3.7 GHz? In System Profiler in 'Hardware' nothing is diplayed.

Say, was the original image from a Macbook? The Keyboard/Mouse prefs won't load, if you start the prefpane directly you get the one from a Macbook, including Trackpad and so on. I used the one from 10.5.5, now it's working. Carzy, I want to keep it as additional preferences pane, so I renamed it (filename and in the package) and installed it in /Library/PreferencesPanes. If I start it now I get a message 'You cannot open keyboard and mouse preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac'. Ha Ha

If you install from another system (not from DVD) the languages aren't installed properly. Finder etc. are only in English.

Finder 10.5.8 crashes/restarts if I want to open the Finder's Preferences, the same happens when closing a window. I also get sometimes kernel panics depending on the Finder. I had to resore to version 10.5.6.

By the way - the image still has integrated Quicktime 7.5.0. I created a reinstaller to Quicktime 7.4.5, only with this Quicktime is useable for me. But I'm not the only one who has problems with Quicktime 7.5 - also real Mac users have:

Scale as big as possible, on my resolution this is 1307x960 pixel (with Dock shown). Quicktime 7.4.5 needs only 10% for this on my Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4 GHz), Quicktime 7.5 or 7.5.5 need more than 90% and stutters terrible. But the frame rate is always shown 25, the same problem what the guys in the Apple forum had.

Any idea when this patch will come out :?

@Hara TaikiYour particular SB600 chipset might not be supported. This will be fixed in IPC_PPF3.

Can you give as a release date, maybe?

i just finished downloading the release, patched it and the installed it. It works great on my machine, i even managed to get digital audio working on my adi1988 onboard card.
i only had some minor problems:
- sometimes a really high pitched sound comes out from the speakers after boot. i goes away when playing video or audio, and it does only seldom return.
- last.fm player does not output audio. Amua (which works with itunes) works great. i have no idea why last.fm player is not working.

EDIT: last.fm player works now. for some reason after installing the adi1988 driver, the default audio output was set to line out not digital out.

funny thing is i tried to install this on my girlfriends machine, which is an pentium d on a 945 gz MB, and intel 950 video, it installed really fast on the sata drive, and then it did not load. i tried booting with -v -f flags, i got the fast scrolling screen when reloading the drivers, and then it just stopped on a black screen.

any ideas anyone? thanks.

sounds like a kernel drop.

have you checked the proper customizing options? (you can still use voodoo with pentium D)

Also, check the BIOS out for better AHCI support, etc.

i didn't try voodoo kernel, i thought on intel it should work with the vanilla kernel. also, i selected some extra drivers, like marvell gigabit ethernet, intel ich sata and some others. i'll try again, i'll post here if i get it right

try to be sure what sound card you really have. ac97 is a standard, not a manufacturer. my audio card (adi1988) is identified in bios as azalia audio. the azalia audio driver will only give stereo output. so it's very important to see exactly what audio chipset you have. it should be in your motherboard manual, or on your motherboard manufacturer website.
i see that there are many audio drivers included in the ipc release, so select the exact one you have.
if you already hava a working system, you can use pacifist to install an audio driver from the ipc dvd. it would be best to remove any other audio kexts from /System/Library/Extensions, and also extensions.mkext if you install a new driver. after that reboot with -f flag to force loading all the kexts.
hope this works for you.

@ron73How do I use PPF-o-matic te replace the din files with these new ppf files? In what directory in my boot DVD must I place thses files? I'm a new member en trying to get Max OS running next to Windows Vista.

just run ppf-o-matic, use the select buttons to select the iso and the ppf file, and then click apply. be sure to use ppf1 first and then ppf2. it does not matter where the iso and the ppf are located.

it would also help a lot if you would put your hardware specs in your signature.

I'm getting this error on install.

My Setup

boot.efi is the file used by real macs to boot to that volume. It sounds like the bootloader you selected didn't install correctly. Either this or you selected the wrong one. How did you customize?

You may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected.

Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?

I also wanted to add that on CD boot at the f8 screen I entered "-f -x -v". Now I did this on each install attempt with the same end result - the BomFileError message mentioned earlier.

I also tried to select as little as I could on the customize screen during install. I think the last attempt I simply selected the Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 since I have an AMD cpu.

Other than that there isn't much more I can add.

I did patch the 10.5.6 ISO with ppf1 and ppf2.

Hi, I want to update from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6.
Is it possible only to use the ipc OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, which is includded on the disc, 463 mb?

I've tried AMD software updater. But when detecting cpuid, it gave error.

I've tried this method.

Installing PC_EFI v9 with Universal OSX86 installer. This worked.
But DSDT Patcher Gui, none of them worked, gave failures.
But i did the software update, not with ASU, and system doesn't work anymore. I will try a clean install with iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3.

@pinchioYou may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected. Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?

the EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old chameleon is fine yet too, but we'll see some cool features being put into the newer bootloaders soon.

@pinchioI also wanted to add that on CD boot at the f8 screen I entered "-f -x -v". Now I did this on each install attempt with the same end result - the BomFileError message mentioned earlier. I also tried to select as little as I could on the customize screen during install. I think the last attempt I simply selected the Voodoo kernel 9.5.0…

ppf2 isn't really needed by your system. have you checked the md5 to verify everything patched ok?

@nfoav8orthe EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old chameleon is fine yet too, but we'll see some cool features being put into the newer bootloaders soon.

Just so we are on the same page. I booted the PC with the DVD iso in place. Clicked F8 and entered "-v" then hit enter. After that I eventually get to the customize menu. From there I only selected the Voodoo kernel and seatbelt patch. I then selected the Apple enforce drivers since that was the only option that looked like it matched my chipset (nforce, see signature).

Am I missing something?

Oh I forgot to mention I have a USB mouse and a PS2 keyboard.

@nfoav8orppf2 isn't really needed by your system. have you checked the md5 to verify everything patched ok?

Yes I verified the checksum after applying the ppf1 and ppf2 patches to the iso.

I'm not sure what might be going on here.

for me only works on pentium d on a asus 945gz motherboard with the voodoo kernel. i thought on intel hardware it should work with the vanilla kernel. anyway, it works great with the voodoo kernel, i'm just curios why it does not work with vanilla.

Could somebody check if the same errors I explained here → are occuring on your system? I tested iDeneb 10.5.5 and updated with an unpatched 10.5.6 update and got the same problems in 'About this Mac' and System Profiler/Hardware. I tried an update with an package patched by Zephyroth's updater, there these problems didn't happen (but there were enough others ). This is mainly on AMD CPUs I think. Ideal testers would be on Socket 939.

But i got the same others erros than you :
- the finder preference dialog make finder crash (v10.5.8)
- the keyboard/mouse prefpanes won't correctly load, and when it happens to load, it shows prefs for notebook keyboard and trackball.

So, how to do restore finder to version 10.5.6?

@DoerakHi, I want to update from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6. Is it possible only to use the ipc OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, which is includded on the disc, 463 mb? I've tried AMD software updater. But when detecting cpuid, it gave error.

you don't need to use ASU to update from 5.5 to 5.6. just read this:
10.5.6 Released →

@alxdabrazil:

Open on your boot drive and look in /System/Library/CoreServices, there's the finder. replace it with a version from 10.5.5. To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane with a normal one. Maybe you have to repair permissions with Disk Utility.

Does the System Profiler show all hardware information about your CPU and so? There's an error on my system. What do you have for a system, do you have AMD or Intel? What kernel are you using, 9.5.0 or 9.6.0. Plz add your system specs in your signature.

i got iPC running But..

i first of all installed it with nvkush and 0.2.1 512mb package in the installation and my nVidia 8500gt card worked, it supported the transpancy, my ideal resolution etc. except that when i go to any full screen program, ie. front row or iTunes visualizers i don't get the nice fade in/ fade out full screen effect.
i've also tried the 9f23 installer from nvinstallers and right after that the efi studio but no luck. can anyone direct me on what to do? or should i downgrade to 10.5.4, with my previous install disk. running 9.5.0 voodoo kernel. chameleon boot loader with the custom picture. i have AMD.

the way my realtek ALC888 started working is i installed the ALC888 package first in the installation or in the DVD but nothing workek, and then i installed ALC888 Legacy Address 0, and that solved everything with all my jacks working.

@lanceomniWhat does it say in in System Profiler about your graphics?

thz. for speedy reply

well it says:

oh and also i tried installing my leo4allv3 graphics drivers, the ones that worked with no problem, but they crashed my system.. so i learned the hard way that 10.5.6 is a really major update!

I actually tried the HDA patcher after grabbing the codec dump for mine.
which allows me to pick my speakers (back speaker/line out) or headphones (front jack)
Inputs do not match anything (Internal Speakers and Internal Mic)

I will try the various alc888 packages from the dvd.

Now I have to solve another problem, mouse won't work sometimes on boot up. also get wierd USB hub errors.
Keyboard and mouse are Logitech Cordless Desktop EX310 keyboard and Laser Mouse (single RF receiver)
But one nice thing the HP media drive (compact flash, SD, etc) works.

Ok,I have total success,except for one little thing... -Audio I go to sound/output and It tells me "No output devices found." in spite of me installing the proper driver (ALC889A).What can I do?:'(

install the HDAEnabler kext file so the system shows that it works... then make sure you correct permissions and have an updated Extensions.mkext file or just boot with -f to ensure it is using the kext.

A lot of answers can be found by merely typing "osx86 YOURPROBLEMHERE" into google. It is likely that the problems you might face have already been discussed in this and other forums. But hey if you get stuck let us know we will try to help you out.

Will you be wanting to install OSX only or do you wish to dual boot with say Windows XP?

I would first get your specs set up in your signature so that every time you post we can refer to what kind of hardware you are running. OSx86 Core & 10.X →

Lets say your looking at iPC 10.5.6. All things perfect you are able to boot into the installer.

• Make sure you do not skip past the option to "Customize". This allows you to add various drivers and fixes and is pretty important.
• Only select options which you know will work. This is especially important with the graphics section. Choosing the wrong option or multiple options will cause problems where not choosing anything will get you default graphics and the ability to boot into OSX. Its generally easier to fix a problem from the fancy OSX interface after the fact.
• Keep a sheet of paper handy and write down the options you select and what the outcome is.

When you boot the DVD or from a drive you have installed on you will see "Darwin" at the top of the screen and it will count down before continuing. This gives you a chance to enter some boot options (boot flags) if needed. If needed you can press F8 durring the countdown and enter them at the prompt. For example entering -v here will boot you in Verbose mode. This means instead of a blank screen with apple logo you get a text version of the boot process. If you get stuck usually you can see the last thing it was doing and post about it. There is an option in the iPC distro that says Verbose Mode. I would select that as it will put you in verbose automatically.

Give it a try and write down your steps. If you get stuck let us know. I would search the forum first for your answer and then post in the Questions section.

Im not sure about your graphics Ill have to do some research.

First, many thanks for this answer.

I want a OSX only system, just because i'm getting tired of windows and Mac is better supported on school, but right now i dont have enough money to buy a real Mac osx system.

Currently my download is on 41,0%. So i hope i can install it tomorrow( at least some attempts)

I will write it down, but how do i know wich kernel to choose? And wich is compitabel with my machine?

Also, when i get to the the point of installing, ill get you updated if something is wrong, or when everything goes right, i will post it too.;)
But i didnt saw my graphic card on the list in the other thread of iPC.
So i wait for that first.

Elvir.

@Elvirana

These are just suggestions:
Kernel - 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel (This is a great choice as it fixes issues related to running OSX on AMD and makes everything a little less painful.)
Video - None
Chipset - Im not too familiar with yours but I have read that for this particular section you can choose all of the options except those that conflict. So choose only one of each of those. nForce & maybe VIA are have multiple options. Im not too sure. Id see if anyone else chimes in on this one.
Audio - ALC883
Fixes and Patches -
Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (I had problems with the 10.5.6 version. Im not sure if that is only with nForce chipsets or with all of them)
Verbose Mode
Applications - Kext Helper & Pacifist are pretty handy.

If everything goes well and the install completes you may want to use the boot flag -f on your first startup.

Kexts (Drivers) are stored in the /System/Library/Extensions folder and OSX takes these kexts and creates a single cache file called extensions.mkext. -f Forces OSX to load drivers from the extensions folder and not the cache file just to make sure all of the options you have chosen are applied.

So, any one know why "About This Mac" crash ?

no one?

Kernel Crash

I pretty sure this crash has already been documented, but I can't seem to find the answer...
sorry!
I installed the latest image with both patches applied succesfully.
Everything installs fine, and runs ok. Network is ok once nforce.kext is installed.

But. The probelm i'm getting is a kernel crash when I download VLC and as soon as it tries to mount image it fails.

I'm quite sure it's to do with mounting images, and i'm sure i've read a fix for this somewhere, If anyone could just help me out, I would be very grateful!

Ok last question before i burn the dvd:
Wich graphics driver should i choose from?
because i cant find it and i dont want to choose the wrong one.

Don't choose any. If you don't choose one you will end up with default graphics but you will be able to boot into OSX and have a nice interface to work with.

You can then hunt for the correct driver and install after the fact.

Ok, i will start now.
Thanks for the help and advice.

btw, i should choose nforce and VIA for the chipset?

Sorry that i ask so much.

@EternalEmptyI have a problem, Everything works so far ..except … when I click "About This Mac" everything refreshed, just not showing the ABOUT panel , any idea ? by the way ..if I am not using any driver within FFP1 or FFP2, do I have to patch the iso? my spec INTEL 975, ICH7, Q6600, 4GB RAM,

if you're using vanilla kernel, i don't know. if you;re using voodoo kernel, then you might want to install applesmbios.kext:

dr op.io/6o3tek9

@naquaada@alxdabrazil: Open on your boot drive and look in /System/Library/CoreServices, there's the finder. replace it with a version from 10.5.5. To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane with a normal one. Maybe you have to repair permissions with Disk Utility. Does the System…

I have updated my signature with my system specs.
The system profiler show all information about my system after installing some kext for my motherboard and my sound card, nothing more.
My graphic card work perfectly with EFI strings.
About This Mac show an unknown processor working at 4 ghz (mine work at 3ghz).
I have get rid of this wrong information with a pkg named AboutThisMac.pkg . But i don't remember where i put this pkg on my hard drive... Maybe on a Jas release disc.

First time at installing

just like to let you guys know that this release looks GREAT! and kudos to the people behind it!

I was just wandering is my system fine to run this specific release? and is my graphics card supported?

Cheers,
Fman

Internet Success except that..

well i've gotten LAN for my MCP61 Lan. but i've got a problem.. when i installed this nForce Kext sleep mode doesn't work for me anymore. I am running 9.6.0 XNU kernel, AMD, iPC 10.5.6, and 8500 gt graphics.

thz.

So I think I discovered part of why my computer was restarting. I have the MSI P43 Neo3-F with an E7300 Core 2 Duo and it looks like the version of the Chameleon that ships on the iPC DVD and the iAtkos DVD seem to instantly reboot. I thought that it had to do with a kext or something, but after installing it using iDeneb 1.3 I tried to use the EFI strings for the graphics card and used OSX86 Tools to reinstall Chameleon and it started doing the instant reboot thing.
So my guess is that PC EFI v9 will work on my system, but not Chameleon. Maybe the next revision of Chameleon will work, I really hope so.

With voodoo kernel I entered the blue screen with one mouse cursor on the top left corner and another that I can move it with my mouse. So I thought it was the decrypt problem and deleted appledecrypt.kext (I have a 10.5.5 installation on another harddisk)

Now it it wouldn't boot into GUI. In verbose mode I can type letters into it but it just did nothing after loading for some time.

so shall I delete Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext instead? I read about replacing it with dsmos.kext, is it OK to do it?

I tried copying Natit.kext from my 10.5.5 but it doesn't work either (in fact I didn't see it loaded)

@Hara TaikiNatit is oldschool. Try NVkush, NVinject or NVdarwin instead, as these are all vastly more updated injectors than Natit, Titan, or MacVidia.

Aren't they for NVidia cards only?

I'm sorry... i tried to install this great release but no fortune...
I upgraded the iso with both PPF and selected all i think was right for my HW, but on reboot i had an ACPI error, and panic. Tried three times at the moment, with and without graphics, with voodoo's 9.5 and seatbelt, is someone so kind to give me a right to what is best to select for my hardware... please. to all of you working on this dream.

well, as a matter of fact, I did. It's in my sig.

Anyways, I finally got 10.5.6 running on my Hackintosh. Everything is up and running. Only one thing: My two IDE optical drives are not detected.

How can I get this fixed? is there something to do with AppleVIAATA.kext?

@lemnif you're using vanilla kernel, i don't know. if you;re using voodoo kernel, then you might want to install applesmbios.kext: dr op.io/6o3tek9

Thanks, I have fix it up by installing ToH version, and it works ok. just can't read the version of the CPU ..so I guess it is not a big deal ..

at least now ..it is not crashing any more

I got 10.5.6 up and running on my Gateway. The issue now is that I only selected the bare essentials to get this far after several failed attempts.

This is my first "tosh" so I'm not sure how I would install drivers for the remaining bits. So could someone point me in the right direction.

The pieces that aren't detected are...

ATI Radeon X1800
Linksys Wifi card (PCI) WMP54G

A little help would be appreciated. And please don't assume I know any special Mac lingo or parlance.

Nice distro with a lots of options.. But maybe its a little too much confusing for the begginers IMO

@nfoav8orinstall the HDAEnabler kext file so the system shows that it works... then make sure you correct permissions and have an updated Extensions.mkext file or just boot with -f to ensure it is using the kext.

Where is this HDA Enabler and how do I correct the permissions?...
Do I do this on the installed system or do I do a clean install?

Forgot to mention that I'm a noob

On installed system, google for HDAEnabler.kext and install the kext using Kext Helper (it will fix perfimissions for you)

He dudes,

Something nice happened. I installed Zepthyroth Leopard 10.5.2. Then with AMD software update i did update to 10.5.6.

After reboot -f. And voila. No kernel update or something like that first. Still using Darwin 9.2.0.

My system:

AMD 3800
Nvidia 6600 LE
Asus motherboard a8n-e

@zyph3rOn installed system, google for HDAEnabler.kext and install the kext using Kext Helper (it will fix perfimissions for you)

Well,tnx for trying but I installed it and it does not work,I still get
"No output devices found"...

I'd really appreciate any other ideas

Thanks Hara Taiki, my hackintosh is running in full glory with Voodoo 9.5 kernel...

...EXCEPT...

- System Information shows that I have 1 of 2 cores turned on. I would like both cores working.

- None of my two optical drives are detected, which are IDEs
(I have an old IOATAFamily.kext with me which I used to patch older versions of Leopard, not sure if it is going to work either, but is there a newer way to do it?)

- VMware Fusion is still having KP while starting VMs, even when I feed the boot prompt with kernel=mach_kernel, heard it is because of the RAMs? I have 4G.

- iPhone is not mounting properly. It shows in iTunes, syncs for a second and then disappears. However it still shows in SysInfo.

hi! i tried installing ipc public beta (patched) on a gigagbyte p35-ds3r, but am having difficulties making the ethernet adapter work.

it installed without any problems at first, them i noticed the network card doest detect the network, and some other little things.

will try to re-install again with different configurations and see what happens

no, i don't have wireless, but that was a nice tip! i will attempt to try it in the future when i get to play with hardware that has wireless

i managed to sucessfully install ipc 10.5.6 (with the 2 patches) last night, and everything was working. but, i had problems when i tried running some pro apps.
things don't work the way they should have been working.

also, had problems enabling quartz extreme (even using osx86 tools didn't work), so i resulted to removing nvkush, and using nvinject instead.

after that, i tried installing vmaware fusion 2.0 beta but it doesnt allow me to finish installation :c

now i'm back to kalyway 10.5.2 while i'm investigating maybe i have faulty hardware. i will attempt to do a fresh install of ipc later tonight. will post my findings

gigabyte p35 ds3r
intel q8450
4gb ddr 800 corsair xms

@Hara TaikiDo you have wireless? If so, you can run install and run OSx86 Tools.app and then click "Download and Install Hardware Drivers", it will detect what your network card is and download then install the right driver.

ok, this is what i have so far.

installed ipc 10.5.6
vanilla kernel
intel ich10
jmicron ata (although i dont think this makes a difference)
nvkush

everything worked okay, tried installing the sound but that didnt work, so i used pcwiz' Gigabyte GA-(E)P35-DS3X Control Center to try and install the audio driver and ethernet driver (that didnt work from the ipc 10.5.6 installer)

after the reboot, the sound was working but the network card still isn't

is there any way that i can get it working? everything else seems to be working now (still investigating)

edit:
i just found out that the dvd player app keeps on crashing when you try to play anything. any leads?

great distro, i have it all up and running but i don't have any drivers for my geforce 9600gt. what's the best way to install for the 9600gt on iPC 10.5.6?

What happened to the ATI x1800xl driver support

Can you please add driver support for this card.

Currently I'm only getting one resolution 1024x768.

this link is broken or empty.
"Update: iPC OSx86 Public Beta PPF3 PPF1 AND PPF2 MUST BE APPLIED FIRST!"
Could you up again?, thank you.

@Hara Taiki* NTFS 3-G + MacFUSE combo installer option * NTFS-3G read/write built into iPC DVD Boot

yay, thank you!

Guys the MD5 for the PPF3 Patched ISO I posted was wrong. Here is the correct one:

fb4742db14dcba1892ead2f61b080e4e

Sorry for any inconvenience!

It would be great if you could include a driver for the Radeon x1800xl card

Would you happen to have a driver for radeon x1800xl for this release? I have 10.5.6. installed with only the graphics card being the last issue.

The system profiler does not show any PCIe cards however the graphic display profile shows the correct device (0x7109) and vendor ids (0x1002).

I'm really pulling my hair out trying various methods to get this to show other resolutions. Currently it only displays at 1024x768.

@pcwizGuys the MD5 for the PPF3 Patched ISO I posted was wrong. Here is the correct one: fb4742db14dcba1892ead2f61b080e4e Sorry for any inconvenience!

SB600 Support

hooray for PPF3
i hope the sb600 support is full this time.. because i have a leo4all install and my hack boots so slow due to "iokitwaitquiet issue" and no matter what i have done i can't burn my dvd's at proper speeds.. toast and disco recognizes media as it should but when it comes to burning, it burns constantly at 1x. this is annoying because i am burning dvd's regularly:'( i will try tomorrow and i will report my experiences with the release.. thank you for sparing your time on this distros;)

@Hara TaikiTry using an EFI string.

Ok. I had a 8600GT previously I used an EFI string with that, but that time I also had some drivers installed, the 9f9 package from nvinstaller.com. Is there some sort of graphics driver package for the 9600GT or 9xxx series in general that I could use with my EFI string?

@cnonehooray for PPF3 i hope the sb600 support is full this time.. because i have a leo4all install and my hack boots so slow due to "iokitwaitquiet issue"

i had this as well, but i the issue got solved there:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=138460… ↗
last ipc release went fine for me (sb 600, but installing from usb stick).

hope is a lie

i tried with all of my knowledge and did what you said to do about this distro to make it install on my machine, but whatever i tried doesn't work.. still getting same stupid error:
still waiting for root device!
please add "REAL" support for sb600 and please make it work on second partition. my details on my sig

and fyi: i applied ppf's respectively and everytime i patch the iso i checked the md5.
burned at 2x and verified with nero..
may i suggest you to look at the leo4allv4.1, because only that distro installs on my machine without any errors.. but i'm looking forward to some distro with "REAL" sb600 support, i hope you can manage to add this to future releases.

don't get me wrong, i am grateful too, just want to report an issue, where can i find proper bios settings, what settings should be used? i am setting sata to ahci mode, plug and play os to yes what should i change other than these?

Ppf4

After patching PPF 4 the installation DVD crashes! Now what?

PPF5 Released

PPF5 Released;

iPC OSx86 Public Beta PPF5 ↗

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE LAST PPF TO IPC PUBLIC BETA. NO PACKAGES CAN BE ADDED ANYMOREAND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIX DVD BOOT ERRORS

PLEASE APPLY PPF1 2 3 AND 4 BEFORE APPLYING THIS PPF5

MD5 of PPF5 Patched ISO: 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f

Changelog

* Fixed "Installation Failed" error from PPF4
* Added Silicon Image 3134 Support
* Added ACPI Fix
* Updated GMAX3100 driver
* Rebuilt AppleAC97Audio and AppleAzaliaAudio packages
* Reverted back to the more compatible Extensions.mkext from PPF2, updated with newer ATA drivers

Okay, I'm a little new to this...

What are the PPF's? What is "patching" a DVD install? I've had great success with Kalyway 10.5.2., and iDeneb 10.5.5 seems okay, had a few problems with it. They've both done the job of persuading me to buy either a real Mac, or a license for Mac OS. So just wondering what all this "patching" is all about.

crash

my system crashes after selecting Safari. I've made a few screenshots. Look like the ethernet adapter causes the problem. How can I solve this?

@Hara TaikiYou can try this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=19806 ↗ However, it's most likely that since your card is old, Apple may have finally phased out support for this card as they did to the 5x00 and some 6x00 GeForce cards.

I'm a bit confused by this. Obviously macs with these older cards works fine, so when you say Apple has "phased them out" what do you mean? My MBP with an X1600 works fine, as does my G4 Cube with a flashed 6200. I'm just a little curious about it.

I'm having a small issue with my install, and it could be more of an OS thing than an iPC thing, but whenever i reboot or logout, upon reentering the OS, my settings for Spaces behavior (activating on middle mouse click, switching via control+arrows keys) is randomly reset. When it happens i have to go in and reactivate the functionality.

Kernel panic after completion of installation

after install completes i have a kernel panic..
i am selecting just
sb600 drivers,
nvinject 512,
smbios 800mhz,
10.5.5 seatbelt.kext and
voodoo kernel 9.5.0 because i’m on amd. i have tried over and over again with some other settings too but result is always the same. and when i tried to cold-restart, doesn’t load the bootloader and if i have the dvd inserted boots from dvd to the installer.. otherwise my pc boots on xp
do i have to select something else?
or am i missing some point?

My Rtl8139 onboard doesn't work even after i have installed the PCGen driver, any suggestions on how to get it working?

I patched the iPC OSX86 10.5.6 Final iso (md5checksum was fine) and got it to the install phase, but the disk verification fails everytime. I have burned the DVD with 2 different computers, on 2 operating system and to all types of DVD's but everytime it fails. I have checked the checksum of the DVD after the burn process and it matches to the original. I had the same problem with iDeneb. Where could the problem be? Is there any way to continue the installtion even the setup says that the disk is corrupted.

another waste of a dvd ppf 5 still fails. this sucks

@Mitchhttp://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=130895 ↗ This is the SB600 driver, would you mind adding it to the next PPF? I'm also using SB600 and this fixed my booting problems with my previous Kalyway install. I'm still downloading the beta so I can't test it yet.

Where I can get the link for download please…

@assholunaxWhere I can get the link for download please…

Internet i GUESS

I don`t know, maybe Im wrong.

Hi for me it doesn't even boot, "Still waiting for the root device" error appears, although it seems that the chipset is recognized. From what I read it seems i have a bad combination of hardware. I've tried boot options from here http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Technical_F… ↗ but with no luck.
Here is my hardware configuration, dvd-rom is slave and sata drive tertiary master (I guess this is by default)

> Mainboard : Abit KN9(NF-MCP55 series)

> Chipset : nVidia nForce 570 Ultra

> Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ @ 2000 MHz

> Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

> Hard Disk : SAMSUNG (250 GB) 2504c SATA II

> DVD-Rom Drive : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M SATA

Is there any solution or it simply doesn't work for my hardware ?

Wow

This really looks awesome! I'm downloading it now to test it out. My real problem starts in that I have an Asus F3SA-A2 Laptop PC and I'm not sure which motherboard and such is inside and can not seem to locate that info anywhere I look. I know it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 in it. I know the sound is Realtek High Definition Audio. I know if I go under windows device manager there is some way to look up by dev id and vendor... I believe. Can I get a guiding hand from someone that knows please? Thanks a lot!

And I did also search the forums for my asus but there isn't anything in there far as I see.

I do know that you can get it off of sites like pirate bay but I don't like that site as it's full of porn pop ups. As for using it, I am trying to learn. I did infact get a copy, but I am now getting the waiting for root device error on two different distros. Oh and thanks for your support. If you can offer some constructive advise I would love to hear it. Thanks.

My PC has two Hard drives 1 Sata, 1 IDE, 1 Sata DVD burner,1 IDE burner, I have Vista on my Sata and I wanted to install it to the IDE.

Is disabling the extra in the BIOS engough? or do I have to open the box and disconnect?

I'm trying to install this iso on my laptop Asus f3t TL52 (AMD Thurion 1.6)
Chipset is MCP51 (NForce 430i)
During install I used Voodoo kernel, installed Seatbelt. Chipset was set to deafult for nforce (don't remeber it's name)
After install I get "Still waiting for root device"
Tried patching it with PPF1.1, PPF2. After that new iso is not able to install. It shows an error after choosing the language during instalation startup.

hi i have iPC 10.5.6

i have sucessfully installed it on my pc
everything is perfect there is only one problem

when i download a file from safari i always get a kernel panic and i must restart my computer =[

is there a possible fix to this

also if needed i can post a picture of the kernel panic screen im getting

thank you so much for your time

After using Zephyroth's 10.5.2 release for a long time (a tremendous, stable build), I had to switch to iPC 10.5.6 Final Release because of some issues I was having when I update to 10.5.6, and my machine is running pretty smoothly. It even resolved many little quirks from my previous install.

So many thanks to all who have made iPC.

Never mind, I will start a new thread as my questions are not specificly related to iPC.

Oh wow

@ElviranaTry the program Everest. Link: lav alys.com:8081/everestultimate460.exe Install it and run it. Go to Computer -> Summary. I think you can find it all in there.

Thank you so much! I'm redoing the computer with Vista to run this but I ran it on my Samsung NC10 Netbook and it is awesome! Sadly I'm a computer tech and I've never even seen this software before. You rock! Thanks for the info.

Mis

iPC dev. Thank you for all your hard work

I have been running Zephyroth's 10.5.2 updated over the last year to 10.5.5. I have had some issues, but nothing I couldn't fix or live with. I liked it so much, I gave my G5 to my wife and my HacIntosh became my main machine. When I tried to update to 10.5.6, it all came crashing down around my ears. I kept back-ups so nothing of value was lost. I tried to install (unsuccessfully) almost all the distros out there (including iPC 10.5.6 beta), and finally settled on Lawless 10.5.4. However, I couldn't update it, even to 10.5.5. I became acutely aware of my need for stability and bought a MacBook Pro. Today, after several tries, I installed iPC 10.5.6 final on my HacIntosh. I have been able to iron out the few glitches, and now it is more stable than it's ever been.

Again, thank you to all that worked on this, and all who contributed to the cause.

Possible installation

Is it possible to install iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 on my system, I have tried with other distributions I while a go but never succeed with them probably due to my Nforce3 chip. So to my question: will this distribution work on my system, or do I have to prepare the installation DVD with some special Kext for example VIA instead of AppleNforce.
(I have install all the updates to the DVD, five updates).

Ok. So i'm downloading this now and 2 things? 1. How do I check the MD5 and 2. can someone link me to the PPF 1- 5 i need to download and a guide to patch it?

@Hara TaikiFINAL = Beta patched to PPF5. Just apply the new PPF in the first post to the FINAL ISO.

Still not .working for me i got "still waiting for root device so i did rd=disk0s1 and got a kernel panic.

Does anyone know ANY way to get past this into the setup?

would this configuration fit

i tryed to install ... dosn`t even boot ... what seems to be the problem?

Video driver for Gforce 9800GT

I can install iPC or ATKOS
but when install finish, I only have 1024x768 screen resolution.

is there any video driver/patch for Geforce 9800GT to work ?

Apple NForceATA: found 0 units

Hi Hara Taiki, PCwiz & all, Can anybody advise on how I can work around this problem? I can install iPC but cannot boot into install,Apple NForceATA: found 0 units. I have a Presario F500 AMD Sempron. Chipset is Nvidia MCP51, nForce 410/430 MCP. I have tried many different ways but cannot boot. I can, however, install Kalyway 10.5.2 and Leo4all 4.1 and boot to desktop but I really want iPC and it's superior peripherals support and voodoo. There must be a way to include what I need to boot.

@dracea, Hi, your hardware looks perfect. you need to elaborate on your problem. With hardware like this you could install from a retail DVD

Thanks for everyone's hard work on this release. I'm looking now at replacing my old Leo4All install...

@neoxlefouI can install iPC or ATKOS but when install finish, I only have 1024x768 screen resolution. is there any video driver/patch for Geforce 9800GT to work ?

Aren't there are 9800 drivers on the iPC install disc? Did you try those?

@zak ... thanks ... but ... i don`t think there are ICH10 drivers ... that is my problem ... so no os x for me :|

@dracea, I thought ICH10 was ok but maybe I got it wrong, sorry

@dracea, Have you seen this? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76404 ↗ It says,AppleAHCIPort.Kext Build 31 (ver 1.5.2) Adds ID for ICH7 to ICH10.

Successfull iPC 10.5.6 installation on:

NVidia GeForce 6600 128Mb RAM
SATA II 500GB Samsung

But I went into a lot of trouble 'till things finally worked out good:

At first, the installation failed because the audio kexts from the DVD were corrupted.
Then, I tried once again, without installing the audio kexts. Installation went fine, but I saw the mouse pointer was moving extremly slow. Somehow, I've managed to delete the nvdarwin kext. The mouse pointer was now moving, but, without the video card injector, it was useless.
I accessed the Extensions folder to check out if the disabler was there. Well, there it was. But, I also found AppleCUPThermal.kext and AppleThermal.kext. I've deleted those kexts then reinstalled nvdarwin.
And now I have a fully functional 10.5.6 on my AMD computer. Oh joy!

@zak ... it is good ... but when i boot frumos iPC dvd ... just restarts withouth any warning or error message … i don`t know why ... i see that the drivers exist for ICH10 but ... just won`t boot

@dracea, could be your bios settings,Execute Disable Bit or something like that, I'm not sure

@TaistoGetting it now, hope my gfx kext will work with this

I installed iPC 10.5.6 on my Gateway MX8738 laptop Core Duo GMA950 using an external usb hdd. My main system is iATKOS v5i updated to 10.5.6 vanilla. I checked video, Intel SATA, Powermanagement pkg, clamshell, AppleSMBIOS Anv MacBook Pro, PS/2 keyboard fix, and everything went fine with a post install of sound patch, trackpadpane, and kext for side scroll. The big change that I noticed with this system is that itunes new smart playlist DOES NOT crash itunes. This worked with both itunes 7 and again with 8 after I did all software updates. Has anyone else noticed this problem "fixed" with iPC Leopard? Nice DVD!

@zak ... ia have some pictures with my errors if you can help me pm and i`l send them to you

PS2 Keyboard (wireless) and Mouse
Audio - Built in (AppleAzalia works well
Eth: Internal (nForceEthernetdriver works reasonably well) - Nvidia nForce 430B Gigabit
External - Ethernet-to-USB - works pretty well

Loaded base + chipset formy sata (detects it) + NVIDIA + PS2 fix + nForce + appl.
voodoo kernel + seabelt (i read AM==> voodoo + seabelt somewhere).
Mouse very slow and erratic.

Loaded base +chipset+ keyboard fix => Unable to detect KB and Mouse

I also have te problem of booting of the DVD, but I solved it by installing from the existing 10.5.5

Any way any suggestions greatly appreciated

great release.

Does this release work in vmware? if it does, can someone tell me how ?

Dvd

I bought a Verbatim DVD +R DL and when i try to write the image, it gives me a write protected error:S:S:S
I tried writing the livedvd image too, but the same thing… now o downloaded the ordinary and still. I could install the 4.3gb image to a 8gb dvd too…

Installed worked, but it won't startup, it just sits there after these lines display:

"MAC Framework successfully initialized

Computer
Pentium M
Dell D600 laptop

Install Options
Voodoo Kernel

video

All worked until i booted up the first time and it gives me a blue screen. i guess this is because of the video drivers. how can i delete them?

Boot with -x so they won`t load, and remove them normally - browse to system/library/extensions with finder.
Or boot with -s, if you can`t make any changes - write mount -uw / , browse to extension folder and remove them manually with rm command.

ps2

Now i have a new problem- when i boot leopard, it shows the video and then gives a window that before you begin please connect a keyboard. I have a ps2 keyboard and put on the ps2 fixes too but still nothing...

Try this thread.

PS2 Keyboard Error →

If it doesnt help, look at insanelymac.com for ps2 kexts, there are about 3 different versions, one of them should work.

Well, easiest way is to use this :

mac.soft pedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Kext-Helper.shtml

You can also copy it manually but i`d suggest you to use the app.

But if i cant start os x it gives me the window that please connect keyboard. how can i use this kext helper?

Yeah, 22, unfortunately. Well...i`d suggest that you borrow an usb keyboard from friend for an hour, or buy the cheapest one to solve it. It`d be the easiest way. You could also try downloading the kext onto pendrive, boot into installer and try to mount it and copy the kext with the terminal, i did something like that few months ago but was copying from the hdd, not the pendrive. i`m not sure if it`d be possible.

just curious, it says in the important notes that :
- Default kernel installed is 9.6.0 Vanilla kernel

does this mean, that if i don't check anything in the kernels menu (while installing), i'll get the 9.6.0 vanilla kernel?

Yes, this is what "default' implies. No choice selected = vanilla... sooo yummy

erm, i have yet another (probably noobish) question.

Do I need to stay disconnected while I'm setting up os X after on first boot ever, so my information doesn't get sent to apple?

Does this matter? Will everything be ok even if I leave the ethernet cable plugged in ?

i've watched a clip where one guy said it has to be unplugged... maybe he was wrong ?

@vladrxpx.
Plugged or not makes no diff. At registration form you can press Alt or Windowz key and Q which will give you a "skip" choice. Leave Apple ID blank.

thanx i will test it but how download the iso?

note by Puttabong: Please do not ask for download links at InfiniteMac!

hy all, i tried to install IPC for several days now, and no luck. every time the installation is succesful, but when i press restart, i get a kernell panic. every single time, i tried to install only the basic. i tried so many combinations, that i forgot from were i started.

Please help. what can i do …

I have and amd 4200 x2 64 bit CPU
6GB of RAM,
ATI Radeon x1650 Graphic card
MSI K9N Neo V2 mainboard

iPC

just to make shure… you're on AMD...are you aware that you must choose Voodoo kernel when in AMD or SSE2 systems? And in this case you must choose too Seatbelt 9.5 ...

yes, at every install i choose the 9.5 voodoo kernel, because i'am on amd. as i told you after a get the message to restart, i wait for several seconds and the i get the kernel panic. and when my pc boots, after i press the restart button on my case, sometimes it shows me only the apple logo, sometimes, the apple logo and that moving thing, and sometimes, but this is rare, it showed me a blue screen.

Thanks

I just wanted to put a quick thanks to all. I have many computers two of which I am running osx86, the one I am referencing in this post has IPC running very well. I am using a phenom 940 3.0 GHz overclocked to 3.49 GHz all four cores are enabled. I am using a Tpower N750 Biostar motherboard with stock video. I apologize if I posted the wrong post in the wrong area. It was emphasized that I post and I didn't really know where to put this so this forum seem most logical. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I will reply in time.

MS-7376 (MSI K9a2 Platinum) and IPC 10.5.6

I've been trying to install OSx86 for weeks now on a MS-7376 based clone with an AMD quad Phenom proc with minimul success. I'm able to boot to the DvD and complete the install with no problems but get the dreaded "waiting for root device" error when trying to boot from the HD after install. I have used the -f flag after each install completes.

I've scoured the net and several message boards and have found that the likely culprit is the chipset on the board. It's the SB600/790FX chipset.

As I said, I'm able to install without issue (have done so 100's of times trying various options) and even use the DvD as a boot disc to log into OSx. Once in, I'm able to access my Windows filesystem which is located on a seperate SATA drive. My IPC install is located on an IDE drive set as Primary Master btw.

When I boot from the disc and into the OS (rd=disk0s2) I don't have any network drivers, sound or video.

My question is basically this.

How could I install the same SATA drivers that the iso uses? it appears to load the motherboard drivers without any problems.

Thank you for any advice you can offer!

i'm having problems with reading NTFS partitions on another hdd..
i installed macFUSE and NTFS-3G and Paragon NTFS and none of those work.

is there something i need to do first ?

@vladrxpxi'm having problems with reading NTFS partitions on another hdd.. i installed macFUSE and NTFS-3G and Paragon NTFS and none of those work. is there something i need to do first ?

Bu what exactly happens ? Note that you shouldnt have installed both ntfs-3g and other systems cause it probably wont work. stick to one of them.

well, i can't see NTFS with macFUSE and NTFS-3g installed, even before i couldn't read NTFS partitions..

I have osx86 installed on one hitachi HDD (installed using GUID partitioning but EFI installation says i cant install it because it's not GUID partitioned.. which is weird because i know i checked GUID partitioning while i was making new volumes for installing osx (iPC) ), and vista installed on another seagate HDD

on vista, i installed HFSexplorer, and even there it doesn't show partitions..

finaly i managed to boot this ... i choose my drivers ... after restart the screen goes dark gray and just remain like this .. what seems to be the problem? did i do something wrong?

osx86 on dv1000

I have been trying for a couple months now to install leopard on my dv1000 laptop, with no luck. I did however install XXX 10.4.11 with no problems.

Specs :
Intel Celeron M (sse2)
Intel 855 chipset
IDE Hard Drive
1.5 gb of ram
Standard network and sound drivers.

I keep getting kernel panics and immediate reboots, even with assorted flags. -V, -X, both dont offer any help at telling me what the problem is.

Ive tried multiple versions, iatkos, ideneb, and now XXX_10.5.6_Final, and still nothing. Ive tried every combination that i could think of.

Someone please point me in the right direction. Is it possible to install leopard with a sse2 processor and the intell 855 chipset?

Hi, can anybody tell me which video driver I should choose on iPC 10.5.6 for my EVGA 7300GT 256MB DDR2. I didn't choose any video, and now it has no QE/CI and only show 1024x768 res with no other options.

@blast9999Hi, can anybody tell me which video driver I should choose on iPC 10.5.6 for my EVGA 7300GT 256MB DDR2. I didn't choose any video, and now it has no QE/CI and only show 1024x768 res with no other options.

Try the 9f23installer here: scott dangel.com/blog/?p=56
Or you could go back and install osx again and choose the video kext for your card.

Thanks, that's a nice option as the DVD won't let you do a post install of a driver. I plan to try two different video cards. Seems like the best way would be to use EFI Studio and then uninstall and reinstall.

Damn Chameleon.....doesn't work

I currently have Kallyway 10.5.2 installed, had to slipstream the SB600 kext on to the DVD, but it works. Perfectly.

I tried installing iPC, and it failed. Miserably.

It seems Chameleon is the problem. It doesn't like MSI K9A2 CF board with the custom AHCI BIOS and AHCI enabled.

Turn AHCI off, and it sorta works. On installation, it gets as far as a grey screen, and spins the beach ball.

I'm willing to try to help the Chameleon and iPC teams fix this release by supplying whatever info regarding the install that they require - Ask away.

I have the problem of not being able to connect to itunes sharing on my network, as well as ichat using bonjour. I didn't use any ethernet drivers when installing iPC, and have internet working fine plugging it into my router, as well as sharing files between computers. Also my TM gives the ethernet error. Is there a fix on the dvd for this problem? I'm using a Gigabyte P35-DS4 with its Realtek 8111B ethernet.
I reinstalled now using the R1000 psystar driver for ethernet and everything now works. I did try the NVinject driver for my video card but it didn't enable QE/CI. I had to reinstall without video drivers, and run efi studio, which did the trick. Also, now my TM seems to be working normally.

I received Kernel Panic during loading the installer
CPU 0 caller 0x002D950D nfs_boot_init failed with 6\n"@/VoodooKernel/xnu-1228.7.58/bsd/nfs/nfs_vfsops.c:851

I have
AMD X2 4600
ASUS A8N-SLI
2 GB Memory
An IDE DVD-ROM with a SATA 250 GB hard drive
Wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse

Same problem

I'm having the same exact error, DVD just boots and displays a kernel panic instantly. I never got to the installer.

Here is a picture of the kernel panic:

However, I have a bit outdated 10.5.2 DVD that works fine but wanted to try that one

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
- Seagate SATA ST3360832AS 360 Gb
- 2GB DDRAM
- Geforce 9600GT
- AC97 soundcard
- nForce 4 motherboard from MSI

Looks like it doesnt like the voodoo kernel. Try booting with -x and see what happens. The older dvd probably uses the toh kernel. I don't know if this dvd includes choices for boot kernels, but other distros do. That way you could try booting with toh and see if it works.

Blah

mkay.. so I have tried to install 3 iPC disks that I have "acquired"... I get an error at the very end of the install either saying that the install disk is corrupted or that my hard drive cannot be set as the startup disk and that I should do it manually, though it wont let me. I'm using a PATA disk with a SATA converter. iPC wont detect the PATA disk on its own. I'm currently running leo4all v3. Works like a dream but it is only 10.5.2 and some new software I want to run is 10.5.5 and up. Are newer versions of OS X not PATA HD compatable? My PATA DVD burner was detected just fine. I have a genuine SATA HD but it is running my leo4all and I am unwilling to start from scratch again cuz I've tried a few times with no success.

My Hardware:
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 (Intel ich8)
Pentium 4e 3.01ghz 800mhz FSB

Can you try the PATA hd in a usb external case? I've installed onto a PATA hdd in my old laptop ok, must be the controller on your mobo. External usb drives should be ok, as I've installed a few times onto them ok.

I'll try that but I had leo4all on the same drive for a while before I gave up windows for good and it worked fine

Wont make my hard drive the startup disk

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem...
Install gets all the way to the end and then says the install failed because my hard drive can't be mounted as startup disk. Then I go to utilities/ startup and choose the disk, reboot and it works. So far its just annoying but I was just curious if this was a common problem

The iPC is osx86 installation.

Does this mean it is 32bit operating system of osX or it could be 64bit if you have that kind of processor ?

does the bit type install itself based on the processor you have ?

OSx86 is a tagname, really. Most of the distros, including iPC (as far as I can tell) support 64-bit mode if your processor is capable and you can get a kernel that supports it.

GeForce integrated 6100 Graphics glitch

Has anyone had any luck with nForce video? Everything else I've tested seems to be working OK except window redrawing. Whenever I move a window the contents remain still while the frame ghosts (see pic). I have tried lots of different drivers (lost count of number of installs done ^_^ ), including no drivers, and I know the 6100 integrated graphics are not supported (I can live with 1024x768), but I am stumped. I had graphics going OK with Leo4AllV5, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. Ironically installer DVD windows work fine. TIA

Hello to InfiniteMac BTW.

few issues

I'm new leopard user, I tested it and I must say I like it very very much, I've never seen more "user friendly" system than this one, and I've tested many operating systems (Win from 3.x to W7, many linux distros, ReactOS, etc..). I like leopard so much, the only thing that's forcing me to stick with my current os (winXP) is my Leadtek WinFast 2000XP TV/FM Card, Leopard doesn't support it
...or maybe I'm wrong, is there a way to run my WinFast 2000XP card on Leopard?

besides this, I have two major issues:
first one: in 1 out of 5 system boots I don't get my mouse USB support, my mouse doesn't react, then I just reset and it works (btw, is there a shortcut for calling "apple" button, like there is "win" key for calling "start" button?). Why is this happening with my mouse?

other one: Once I reboot, or shutdown PC, next time it starts booting, and pass the BIOS's HDDs gathering, I get second boot, like my BIOS check RAM, finds out which HDD/CD/DVD drives I have, and then it should pop up chameleon boot program, but it doesn't it reboots itself, does BIOS ram check, check HDD/DvD/CD connected, and then it works normal, load chameleon, etc...

Ok after searching the web for the last few hours and playing around with different settings i am stumped. i am using ipc 10.5.6 final and got it to work on my toshiba tablet. I am trying to make it work on a amd system but am having no luck. i can get to the darwin boot loader and start using -v flag but i get hung up at extension "com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver" has no explicit kernal dependency; using version 6.0 and then i get the never ending still waiting for root device.

my hardware is:
Compaq SR1560NX
amd athlon 64 3500+
2gb ram
250gb SATA 2.5" HDD
lightscribe dvdrw/cdrw

if it helps any the hdd is set as master 3 and the dvd is set as slave 2.

Hy,

I have an "iPC_OSx86_10_5_6_Universal_PPF5_Final".
I burnt it on a DVD-R with nero9 at 4x.
Created a partition with "diskpart" using the comand series:
create partition primary id=af
active

Then I've rebooted from the freshly burned DVD-R.
I hit F8 and typed -x, the hit Enter.
It displays some command lines then it halts on "Still waiting for root device".

iPC OSx86

I'm downloading the iPC Public Beta (Leopard 10.5.6), but I'm not installing it as a OS, I'm installing it on VMWare Workstation. Is it possible for somebody to tell me what to do for the install? All I want is 10.5.6 to work and preferably networking. I don't care about audio. Once I get it working, I'm installing the iPhone SDK 2.21 (can't wait!).

My specs go as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 (2.00GHz)
NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS
Windows Vista Home Premium x32 as host
VMWare Workstation 6.5

My VM is setup as:
-25 GB IDE drive
-Guest OS is FreeBSD 64-bit (I had it like that for 10.5.2, but I needed 10.5.3 and I couldn't get it so I'm using 10.5.6)
-1 Processor
-No Networking (To keep it from registering)

Please help as soon as possible!

Thanks everyone,
Computer Age:)

Did you apply the PPF previously mentioned for nForce chipsets? In the commands, it shows that there are 0 nForce Chipsets.

Good luck,

Working to get a MacTablet going

Hi, and thanks to pcwiz, Hara Taiki, and all those who are putting up with us noobs AND slaving putting together this great disk. I really appreciate the work involved.

Dual boot using a USB drive for MacOS, Vista on mothership.

Without selecting any kernel (should default to Vanilla 9.6.0, right?), I can install. However, it NEVER boots, I just get the spinning wheel on the Apple screen, and then a reboot. Even on verbose, the reboot happens so quickly, I can't read anything critical on the crash info to tell you. Can anyone tell me why and how I might work around it?

I can get some things working with Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel.

Best so far with Universal 9.4.0. Burned iMovies using iDVD!

Can get wireless to work (intermittently):-/. No firewire (why not?):'(. Had Tablet working with TabletMagic...but that broke at some point (and I don't know where!) :-/Oh, and no internal sound whatsoever at any point. HOWEVER, I have a USB audio card that works fine!^_^

Continue MacTablet Saga

I am using the iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Final disk

I have my mac-in-stein working again, as well as I ever did. Right now, I have...

9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel
Intel GMA 950...WORKS DECENTLY (some artifacts...no rotation)
Intel ICHx SATA Drivers...works
Legacy AppleHDA:Sigmatel 9200...does not show in "Sound"
Voodoo Power power management...WORKS DECENTLY (no battery display)
Dual boot time sync by Zephyroth (thank goodness)
IOPCMCIA Family...seems to see card, but do not have driver
Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (I wish I could use Vanilla kernel!)
PS/2 Keyboard Patch (works)
I then used ToshACPI.kext to activate bluetooth. Haven't tested, but appears to work.
I set up TabletMagic, installed TabletPC driver, and it came up with an error (a kext was not installed correctly). I used kext helper b7, reinstalled JUST the errant kext, and my tablet works!:-d

OK, so now I am in business, for the most part. I want to use Vanilla, but it seems it ain't happening. Why not? I have Intel parts (in fact, most of the Toshiba is like a MacBook).

Also, there is a Texas Instruments PCIxx12 device in my computer that has a OHCI controller, the 5-in-1 Card reader, and the FIREWIRE port! Anyone know what driver to use for this this?!?

I'm actually kind of surprised installation went so smoothly. Had to enter in my resolution (1680x1050x32) during boot up but that's okay. Now on to some issues. When I move windows arounds, it'll start ghosting until I click on the bottom and resize it. Now, I'm going to have to be putting in my old Gigabyte X800XL soon, so I'm going to need to reinstall OSX I'm guessing. What option would you suggest I use because I had taken a peek at the ATI info in the install and I didn't see anything relating to my X800 XL.

Hmmm...unsupported cards

I would not try this with unsupported video cards. If you see a driver, you can install it later by looking for the correct folder on the DVD, instead of reinstalling the whole thing. You listed no info about your setup...CPU, chipset, graphics card...

Ahh sorry about the no info. My motherboard is an MSI K8N Neo4, processor is an AMD 64 x2 5500+ and my graphics card is the Gigabyte Radeon X800 XL. I did reinstall OSX with the Radeon in it and it has been working just fine. Even got my Microsoft Lifecam VX-6000 working surprisingly. My only issue is that my monitor is stuck on a 1400x1050 resolution instead of the native 1680x1050 and it's buggin' the crap out of me. What steps can I take to remedy this?

what bios are you guys using...im using 3.8 and it jsut spins on the apple ...cant even get to install any help is appreciated

One of the issues I had early on was badly burnt disks! Seriously, never thought it would be a problem, but I RESOLVED your issue (that I was having) simply by re-burning my image at 1x speed (after I checked to make sure my image passed the checksum)...

Bios v. 3.8, btw

seems to be installing…really sould like to do vanilla to...and maybe iATKAOS v7

does any one know what wireless card will work in the m400…i put an atheros on my x60 it roccks

@scowlI'm actually kind of surprised installation went so smoothly. Had to enter in my resolution (1680x1050x32) during boot up but that's okay. Now on to some issues. When I move windows arounds, it'll start ghosting until I click on the bottom and resize it. Now, I'm going to have to be putting in my old Gigabyte X800XL soon, so I'm going…

how do you enter screen rez at start up?

vertical lines

installed ipc osx86 final.
everyitng went smimmingly.
however when i it rebooted..i ony get multi colored vertical lines..it donet go int o registration..

i already have Kalyway 10.5.2 installed, when i update it to 10.5.6 or 10.5.7, my sound wont work(basically the kxaudio kext would stop)..so should i install this and try>?

So sorry for not writing for so long, I was very busy the last few months so I put my Hackintosh project on stand by. Anyways, now I'm back on it so ... let me fill you up on it.

I made some progress from the stage described here:
iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 →

I manage to boot up from the DVD disk by using an LG SATA DVD RAM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH20NS15 more exactly).
Then I select the hard drive I want to install on, I select the packages I thing I need and START THE INSTALLATION.
It seems to star well, it says it takes 8 minutes, then 16 ... but, after the progress reaches 25-30% it jumps to 65-70% and gives me the ERROR: "Installation cannot be completed, the media your trying to install from is BROKEN!"

Did anyone have this kind of problems?
Do you have any suggestions?

I've checked the MD5 hash of my image and it is 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f as it should.
And I burned it on an Estelle DVD-R 8x blank, with Nero Express of Nero 7 Premium package at 6x twice and the same thing.

Should I try a better quality DVD-R (like Verbatim maybe)?
Should I try a slower burn speed?
Should I try a different burning software?

Please help,
I really wanna make this happen!

i had to reinstall ipc 10.5.6, and now my cd rom and card reader aren't working... is it the kernel's fault, as i am using chameleon v2?

I can’t boot with live cd neither with normal setup. I get the errors “Still waiting for root device”, or “AppleNforceATA sata phy reset” or something like that, or “AppleNforceATA found 0″.
Since I’m trying with the DL version I guess I don’t have to download the iPC OSx86 Final 10.5.6 V1.1 PPF (nForce) patch, it’s supposed to be included in the ISO isn’t it?
I guess my error have to do with not being able to turn on AHCI on at the BIOS. I have a Nvidia MCP61 chipset inside a Dell Inspiron 531s system. Is it a way that I can ignore that or something like that?

are you getting the darwin bootloader? (press any key to boot from DVD)

if not you need to either:
go into your bios and configure to boot by default from the CD if inserted,
or if your computer has it, go to the bootmenu and boot from your CD.. i use ESC at my HP blue screen..

how can i change 64 bits to 32 bits?
please say commend
may i know?

what kernel do i choose for amd x2 6000+ voodoo or mach kernel? instructions from people with sb600 chipset would be nice...

trying to install

So i try to install ipc OSx86 ppf5 universal final on Amd phenom 2

it stays on the apple screen and after a while appears a Trouble sign above the apple. I'm on a (laptop) hp pavilion dv6 amd phenom 2 supports sse1, sse 2, sse 3, sse 4a so thats no prob. I can't change my bios because there are only a few options and its the latest version. , you can send me a pm to.

So i tried to install it with option F8 -v -f. and -v but no luck, i see one important messag between al the info saying: upgrade bootloader and then more info and it hangs. I tri with -v rd=disk5s2 then i get the same + at the bottom: still waiting for root device and that up to 3 times then i decided to quit and reboot. So can you help me? How do i upgrade the bootloader and put in the .iso?

You can check my specs in the attachment, ok attachment is to big. See this for de txt file for specs 82.9 kb media fire.com/?hynll7rrotrrxe7

-Edit-
So i try with platform=x86pc Still nothing
I try with -x Still nothing
I try with -f i get a kernel panic.

How do i update de bootloader to 2.1? I think my system is to advanced or something, i don't know :-p Anyway i have to update it but where can i find the bootloader in de iso? Or is there a version with an updated bootloader?
Please respond fast..
Thnx.

Anybody

Does anybody has a answer? So much views but nobody know's, com'on that can't be?
