I am a new one at the Hakintosh arena wink.gif , and i want to ask some questions...
i have installed successfully the Zephyroth's release (10.5.2 Rev2) on my PC:
AMDX2 3800+
3gb RAM
Nforce 570 Ultra (Asus M2N-e motherboard)
Onboard Lan
Sound: Onboard (ADI1888 High Def Audio (onboard))

The installation went smoothly (after connecting usb mouse/keyboard - PS2 does not work??) and the system loaded successfully afterwards; the only pitfalls: Lan Card, Sound and Video Card....
I have fixed the LAN problem (using forcedeth_nockd.kext).

I have not succeeded fixing the audio. I have tried the azaliaaudio.pkg, some adi 1888 packages, but with no success. Can anybody suggest a solution that worked at the Nforce 570 Ultra platform?

Regarding the graphics, my video card has 512MB but Leopard only recognises 256..
I am using NVinject 0.2.0 and all resolutions are shown (1280x1024). Another issue is the No Quartz Effects at the "About this Mac" section...

Besides the above, the operating system crashes very often; the screen is greyed out and i am forced to reboot my pc... I have noticed that this happens whenever i try to download the Mac updates or when i am downloading something.. I would be glad if somebody could tell me how can i see the kernel messages so as to identify the problem. I am suspecting the LAN driver, but i am not still sure about this.

I would be glad to hear your comments and to have the community's valuable information...

Thank you!

I don't think many people are left using the nforce lans because of this problem and to my knowledge there is still no real solution.
As for sound it might be easier to get a supported usb device.
Lastly graphics I would start by checking that your device id is in the appropriate kext files.
nvinject
geforce.kext
Nvdanv50hal.kext for 8 series
nvdanv40hal.kext for 7 series
nvdaresman.kext

In all you need to look for a line like this in the .plist file

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x029210de</string>

and insert your device id 0x"your id here"10de

It may seem dummy, but how do i find my device's string?

Additionally, only two Info.plist contain the id you mention;
nvdanv40hal.kext
string>0x004010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x022010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x014010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x016010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x009010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x01d010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x039010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x029010de&amp;0xfff0ffff</string>

nvdaresman.kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x019310de 0x061110de 0x019110de 0x040710de 0x060010de 0x042110de 0x042710de 0x040210de 0x040010de 0x042210de 0x040910de 0x000010de&amp;0x3e441fff 0x0000ffff</string>


I suppose i have to leave only one string, am i right?

Thank you lanxxx for the info!!

Hi All.
I already install Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2.
but I still cannot use onboard lan which is Marvell 88E1116 phy.
I already try forcedeth, but still can't.

Any hint?

Thanks!

USe the forcedeth_nockd.kext.. It 's is not tha same...
But in my case, i believe it is the cause of many frequent system crashes...

nvdaresman.kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

sorry the other kexts have
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x029210de</string>
rather than primary match you need to change them all.

If you have windows then you can find device ids in device manager, if not use a linux live cd open a terminal type lspci

then change the device id to the above format, also on the wiki for this site there is a lot of device ids listed.

I've been trying for the past couple weeks to install Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev 2 for AMD. I had it installed once and it was running quite well until I stupidly installed the iPhone SDK, which trashed my install. I've never been able to get it installed again and don't understand why I can't duplicate what was successful before. I can get everything installed on my external USB HD and can boot (MBR) from that drive. I can get into single-user mode, but cannot bring up the system from that point on. Once I type "exit" to exit single user mode, this is what I'm getting?

Jettisoning kernel linker.
jnl: unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5
jnl: unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5

unknown SIGSEGV code 0

And that's the end. No more messages and can't do anything at this point.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can debug this and proceed?

Thanks.

What are you system specifications?

Hi roisft I managed to install Leopard with the kext from Tiger that you post. Actually I am writting from the Leo now.

1. I have a few more questions now. I have in the same disk but in another partition Vista installed, i choose dual boot from the installation menu of Leo but it doesn't give me any option on the start up.

2. I can only boot to Leopard only if I have the installation dvd in the drive. If I remove it it gives me a message that there is no operation installed.

Any ideas???

PS. it can be installed from a DVD+RW as well.
