hi all
i tried leopard 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 from zeph
in 5.1 the installer throws an error when installing files into the disk
in 5.2 it just keeps rebooting

so my last hope is this release... (that only have 1 seed right now u.u)

my proc is amd phenom 9750 (x4),chipset AMD 770, 2 gb ram, gpu geforce 8800gt and sata hdd... can you say me if will this version work???

and thanks for your very good work!

I`m trying it on my BenQ P52 lappy cause it seems to be only way to get 10.5.4 update ( tried many ways to update - always crashed my os ). Will post results.

@waiflih: Your system specs all fit in the range of what LawlessPPC designed this for. Just make sure you Customize to select all the specially needed kexts for it. I hope you find it to be one of the best releases yet.

As with everyone else, this "distro" works great on my system and so far the only tiny hiccup in it is one that everyone else has pointed out... MSN messenger (which I don't use anyways). I did have to open the Terminal and ensure the permissions were reset to the proper ones as well as fix the audio (alc888 didn't install correctly from the DVD).

---

LOL, well, I thought that this distro would work, and it installed without a hitch, but now, when I go to boot the machine, I get the "Still waiting for root device" message. Seemingly out of nowhere considering when I installed it from the DVD it found my PATA drive without a hitch. I'm going to try re-installing within the next couple hours here to see if I can get it to work. I'll post my results then.

which third party kexts did you Customize your install with?

---

Well, that's why I'm re-trying.... I started the install somewhere around 2 AM and I was quite tired, so I didn't notice the customize button, which I'm now doing. Pretty much the only thing I chose was the SB600 kext because I forgot to last time. I'm hoping that that should clear up all my problems. It's currently installing. I didn't choose any others because I figured I could install them afterwards once I know what my hardware is. (Didn't pay much attention during Windows install because it found everything automatically.)

Nope, doesn't look that worked either... I'm still getting the grey screen with a slashed circle. Booting with "-v" tells me that it is the same problem I was having before the reinstall "Still waiting for root device." I'm gonna find the root of this problem somehow. There's got to be something on the DVD that is making it boot but then isn't installed when I install OSx86. Any suggestions?

rather than listing everybody individually (this doesnt mean I'm any less gratefull)
Thankyou for your input. Now to the bugs LOL

Ok the Nforce7 support is totally unknown to me (i didnt know it was supported) I will have to check.
Same goes for SB700 I have no knowledge of a working kext for this. But I will look into it.

@Ikari7789 I know what your issue is no chipset driver installed or maybe the way you have your bios setup.

Please keep posting as all the bugs are to be tackled on a total rebuild.


I need ppls repsonses becuase the only hardware I can test on is Nforce4, SB600, Alc888, VIA, SSE3, SSE2, Phenom, ADI1988 (i think), CMedia 8738, Athlon X2 5000, Geforce8400 GS, ATI HD3650.

So as you see its quite limited.

If you find kexts (drivers to things that dont work please supply links or give as much info as possible as this will be in the next build but dont expect it too soon. As this release was essentially just a play to see what I could achieve in little over a week (I think).

For those who have issues please make sure you understand how to install OSX first.


The only non user input fully automated parts of this install are the booting of the DVD, The kernel installation and the bootloader and partition activation (these seemed to cause the most headaches). Everything else is down to user intervention.

So please help me and if I dont know whats broke I cant fix it.

@ Nfoav8or which alc888 was it 3 port, 6 port or digital



Thanx

LawlessPPC

P.s. please be kind and dont forget its a BETA

---

@Lawless
6 Port... but I've tried each of the included ones. I've just gone back to my AppleHDAPatcher with the text file fix. Its no big deal. easily fixed but not ideal.

To everyone else asking questions about the installs... another good place to look if you want to hep yourself learn regarding installs is the OSx86 <a href="http://osx86.wikidot.com/">wiki page</a>. A lot of old but useful fixes, installers, etc. can be found at this site.

@nfoav8or
did it complain about badly installed kext when you booted for alciject.kext etc or not

Thanx

LawlessPPC
