Barebone Hardware
Hi,
I have opened this thread, since a Genius bar thread has inspired me to try to install a retail Leopard system on my Shuttle SG33G5 Barebone system with Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,4 GHz 4 GB RAM HE753LJ SATA Samsung 750 GB Hdd PX-810SA SATA DVD-burner Nvidia 9600 GT 512MB gfx card Chipsatz: Intel G33 Express (Bearlake-G) + ICH9DH, FW400 and USB. Installing Retail Leopard has worked without any additional Kext or patching: This system now has 10.5.6 & all other updates from Apple applied and I am used to get it started with boot123 iso cdrom provided by http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/howt...ead-t1106.html someone named Type11. The gfx card does not run QE/CI natively - is there a way to fix that? Then the system kind of does not shutdown properly, what am I to do about that? Oh and audio did not get detected so I am using a Creative Xmod-USB sound card, which works fine, so audio is not the big problem. Any hints would be greatly appreciated - especially I am looking for a bootloader to start directly from HDD and some driver/kext/whatever for the gfx problem. Thanks in advance!

Hi Lawless,
I am trying to follow your suggestions, but I am unable to find a useable readme or instruction how to install chameleon bootloader. In the readme provided in the file I downloaded it says to copy the contents of my Extras folder to the folder within the downloaded dmg and then run the installer... But I don't seem to have such an extra folder on my retail system. Can you help?

Ok so now the Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT is working at 1024x768 resolution with QE/CI, I managed to do it after this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...90112-150.html
set of instructions - say use those Nvidia 9000 drivers and then get NVdarwin1.2.5, then you're at fully QE/CI. DVD Player and VLC is working. Thanks to Naquaada who has supplied me with drivers for my LAN controller from iPC image - I still have to figure out how to boot without boot123 iso cdrom. Since QE/CI is enabled the vanilla kernel is shutting down wunderfully. Reboot does not yet work. The new silence of the gfx card cooler is very good thing! If someone has any idea how to make the system dualboot (I have a recovery system on a second partition on the same hdd). Chameleon if installed to the hdd gives me a kernel panic...

ok, Problem solved: I had to look at this piece of a thread:
Damit ihr nun nicht immer die CD braucht um das installierte OSX zu booten, müsst ihr die neueste Version von chameleon installieren, die datei "boot" von eurer BOOT132 cd auf eure OSX partition in den root kopieren und alle kexte aus der initrd.img auf eure OSX partition nach /Extra/Extensions/ kopieren... damit auch wirklich alle kexte von dort geladen werden, solltet ihr nen kextcache erzeugen CODE kextcache -a i386 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions dank geht an: dfe, der das ganze ermöglicht hat, kabyl, der chameleon (danke an zef) ins spiel brachte, und bamby, der herausgefunden hat wie man die iso zu erstellen hat und natüclich an alle anderen in der osx szene. Now, it works fine.

Is there someone else using this SG33G5 barebone and have had similar or different experiences? I would be glad to share info on that...

Using Onyx to repair permissions under admin user and then changing display resolution (with blue screen and forced restart via power button) has given me 1280x1024x32 with QE/CI on the system without changing anything else.

Onyx; Changing Screen resolution
Could you go into a bit more depth on the following:

Well, no big deal! I just followed the recommendation from naquaada, who advised to try Onyx to repair permissions. I did that by opening Onyx with admin priviledges, otherwise it won't work and go to "Automatisieren", and then use the following options:
repair permissions peroidic scripts dydl's shared cache Mailbox index and all the following options ticked. (system cache, user cache, Fonts cache, protocols and crash reporter, temporary files, recent documents and web browser cache. Give this a go, then do a restart, and go to system preferences panel "Monitor" and change the resolution there to the wanted value. Then it gave me a blue screen and no option other than a holding down power button to hard shutdown the machine. You might be able to spare the hard shutdown if shortcut to shutdown the computer will work (ctrl & eject key then return) Try that and kindly report if it helped.
