Is there a such thing as writing to a disk too slow?
I initially wrote the leopard 10.5.2 disc at 16x and that one totally didnt work.
then i worte it at 1x to make sure everything was written correctly to the disc.
now i get the following error:
SAM Multimedia Read or Write Failed
Sense_key = 0x06, ASC = 0x29, ASCQ = 0x00
Sense_key = 0x06, ASC = 0x29, ASCQ = 0x00
Sense_key = 0x06, ASC = 0x29, ASCQ = 0x00
Waiting for root device
and thats it. it did not reprint the "Waiting..." text anymore it did nothing else.
so am i writing to the disc too slowly?
i gotta get some rw dvd+ cause i got like 1000 coasters, lol.

SCSI Error Code Lookup: 6-29-00
Error Description(s): (6-29-00) Spectra Logic assigned code.
Power On, Reset, or Bus Device Reset Occurred. The library or QIP has been reset or has just been powered on.
Spectra Logic Support Team Suggests:
This will occur whenever a host communicates with the library the first time after power on. If the library has just been powered on or reset, ignore this error message. If the library has already established communication with the host and this error subsequently occurs, it's likely the host didn't get a proper response or a timeout occurred. Contact Spectra Logic Technical Support. Make a note of what media was in a drive at the time, and get a QIP trace if possible. If the error recurs frequently, it may be necessary to run a QIP trace as the error occurs.
Dont know what this means but hopefully someone out there does.
I have the same problem with 10.5.2. What I have to do? Although 10.5.1 installed fine
My specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+
Motherboard: Asus M2N32 SLI Delux WiFi edition (chipset nForce 590 SLI)
Graphics: NVidia 8600 GT
Hard Drive: Seagate 320Gb SATA, Seagate 80Gb IDE (for MacOSX)
DVD-RW: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173S SATA
Sound card: SoundMax ADI 1988B
Memory: 1024 x 4 DDR2 OCZ PC7200
Can I modify ISO with some Windows utility to insert/delete necessary kexts?
Here is the screen:
yea but i thought this version was suppose to add support or SATA, as i do not own an IDE drive or have an IDE connector/interface on my computer.
@BorisKI had the same problem and it helped when I changed SATA DVD drive to IDE DVD drive.
It's related to AppleNForceATA which is a driver developed by MeDevil.
There is still a lot of work to do on it and it doesn't support all chipsets correctly.
Maybe the next release ?
could you point me to a tutorial or something where i can figure out how to create my own driver based on my own specific hardware

Maybe a ppf patch for us? =) I can install your 10.5.1, but no success with 10.5.2.

Just reburn ISO on another dvd disc
I've burned this iso 5 times. using different brands (HP, Verbatim & Memorex) and they all give me the same message. I've tried using different programs to write the image to the disc also (ImgBurn, TransMac & Nero). same issue.

And no burn problems!
Can anyone make a ppf patch for Zeph's 10.5.2 with old MeDevil's drivers?
Um... Why don't you just install 10.5.1then? After it installs you can always add the 9.2.0 kernel (if you want) and the 10.5.2 updates already patched for AMD (if you want). The 10.5.2 .kexts are widely available. And you can add EFI to either one if that's what you're looking for...
the checksum is correct and im going to guess it IS just the kext. I'm going to try and use the one from 10.5.1 and see if this helps with my initial issue of it giving me that "SAM media read or write failed" message.
Where are they located on the DVD disc?
@Tankkcheck iso md5
ok, yea i tried that and it gives me an immediate kernal panic. so i need to somehow edit these kext and find out whats in 10.5.1's kext that allows me to get to the installation program, then add it to 10.5.2's extensions.mkext.

It takes a few weeks for Zephyroth... =)
It's too complicated for me (I've tried). And I've expected for OOTB version.
Sounds like you're going to have to wait and see if MeDevil (or someone) builds a .kext that actually supports the nforce 5xx series...
