That's very interesting... My BIOS version is not the latest (V. 1009) and my initial thought was that, so I updated the BIOS (1302 1st then 1303) but no cigar, as I said that was the only solution I found (for now); but the fact of you having a BIOS revision 1604 intrigues me... who knows if there's anything that a "hacked" bios could do about these issues.
Thank you for these information, may be very helpful in shedding some light on this obscure problem.

Hey, what about Quicktime 7.4????? I have 7.2 installed.

whats the best program to read and maybe even write HFS+ from a 64-bit windows,
macdrive 7 doesnt support 64-bit
transmac crashes every time i open it

thanks

I've had the same problem with Transmac until I've installed it to C:\Program Files\Transmac (instead of offered C:\Program Files x86). Also if you're using the cracked Transmac v7.5 from TPB know that supplied cracked .exe is corrupted. I've attached a working cracked exe.

Thanks for your help, eMatoS!!

For my case, I burned at 4X and boot from DVD already, still get the same problem.
Any other hints on this ?

Here they talk about some RAM incompatibility (?) maybe that's all, and this guy changed the kernel, hope someone can give you more ideas.

Good Luck!

OK soo far, a nice release.

Things that work: Allmost everything I need.

Things that dont work:

* keyboard layout recognizes all the keys except it changes key Y and Z (I have to type Y to actually type Z)
* SOUND - big problem because it doesnt work. I have A8V-MX motherboard with onboard ALC653 codec - realtek/via I guess.
* I see no SATA drives (not even in system preferences)
* Cant use 2nd monitor (LCD) on my Nvidia 6800 GT 256 MB AGP

Programs that dont work:
* MAINTENANCE needs 10.4.x to work apparently
* TOAST Titanium (nothing happens when I press it)
* Bookit
* Front Row
* HardwareGrowler
* Onyx
* CandyBar
* Sherlock
* Printer Setup Utility

Im sure there are more as I havent tried installing any apps on my computer.

The hardware issues are the most pestering as I hate using a computer where I cant watch movies and/or play music. :/

Right now Im just content/happy this distro is working at all.
And I will be even more happy if some of you have sucessfully solved these problems and are willing to share it with the rest of us.

First, thanks a lot Zephyroth for putting together this release

Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
RAM: 2 GB PC3200 RAM
Video Card: 512MB ATI 3870

I tried to install with GUID, but I would get b0 error. Then I installed MBR with: 9.2.0 Kernel, Forcedeth, ATI 38XX driver (17 MB one), AC97 and Azailia audio. I can only boot with -x. Anything else and it starts up for about 10 seconds, then just shows me a screen of random black, red, and green lines in a weird pattern. My 3870 does not work, and I am in software mode with no QE/CI. I am trying to get Natit from Netkas.org working. I have no sound, and the internet is very sluggish (like not getting past 10 kb/s, I don't know why). About this Mac and System Profiler are working fine.

If anyone could help me with these issues, that'd be great, if not I'll keep trying
Thanks again Zephyroth.

for your GUID problem, have you actually read the forums? There is a new update (patch) floating around that will address this problem. If you are not interested, consider MBR instead.

Download the latest quicktime manually from quicktime.com and install. There shouldn't be any problems if you follow this way. If you use the software update utiltiy YOU WILL get the following message, QUicktime quitted unexpectadly, etc. =)

Ok WinLinMac01, I was just asking because it's listed into zephyroth's first message, and are you sure there's no need to use Marvin's utility?


EDIT: It's all working fine with quicktime 7.4.1, no need to use Marvin's tool.

Do you mean: http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=403&page=1#Item_0
That patch?

good to hear. I assume you downloaded the stand-alone installer from apple's website right? =)

Yep that should be the one, that Zephyroth mentioned in his own topic. However, I do recommend confirming with Zephyroth first through the Whisper Box, because I am unsure whether or not eddie and zephyroth have their own releases. If not, it should be safe to use the .zip file. Make sure to patch it with your existing .iso using a ppf patch utlity. google that. =)

Yes WinLinMac01, I've downloaded the standalone from apple's site and everything seems fine for now.

good, you shouldn't expect any problems. the only problem that I am finding now is a bug that has to be addressed by apple. in safari, when signing out of my email account, the safari application quits unexpectedly and it hurts. =( if only I can send my bug report to apple, lol, but I forbid myself. =)

what kind of account do you have? I'm having no trouble whatsoever in mine.

Using gmail. you?

Yes, it's all fine, gmail and hotmail

I got GUID working using this method:
I hope that helps people getting the b0 or white cursor issues.

Specs=
Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200

The issues I am currently having with this install are:
1- I have to boot with -x. If I boot with any other option, the white Apple loads for 30 seconds or so, and then I see a garbled screen of lines and shapes.
2- LAN is extremely slow. Using Forcedeth or Skge, I never get over 10 kb/s down. On Windows or Linux it works fine and normal. I have a Marvell ethernet port and a Nforce one.
3- No QE/CI on 3870 with the 38X0 driver or HDXXXX driver. I can get QE/CI working by installing the Leopard graphics update and the latest Natit from Netkas.org.
4- No sound, I'm pretty sure my board uses the ALC850.

Any help with issues 1 and 2 would be great.
Again, I'd like to thank Zephyroth for the time he has invested into this release =).

Alright I downloaded 10.5.2. I burned it at 2x then booted from the dvd and went into Disk Utility but it doesn't see my IDE hard drive (which formatted fat32 and is active and primary)
10.5.1 detected it fine.

.

Dear Sirs,
I have a little trouble with my video card:
GeForce 6800 256Mb Ram PCI-E 256bit DDR3 (on nForce4 s939, with DVI/VGA monitor LG 15")
Help me please.

PS
All another things works very good, and in "About this mac" i see my videocard with right name and ram size, but videostreaming is too bad, screensavers works steply(with a low fps)

my finder keeps on crashing, don't know why. just started occuring, didn't do anything that would harm the o/s and now after logging in, I can use applications, but finder is not responding, please help, thanks.

You can use the marvin´s utilty or make a folder in your desktop and copy the finder app from /system/library/coreservices/finder , and run the marvin utility, you need to know if it needs any patch

If it doesn´t works you can try to do again the eddie´s 10.5.2 update.

something is acting up in this system, if you read the new discussion I started, don't know if this is a serious problem or not. But seems very strange. In regards to system profiler shows different hardware overview this time. Is parallels or vmware fusion responsible for this?

I was able to get LAN working at normal speeds by disabling 1394 (firewire) in my BIOS. This may help anyone experiencing similiar issues.

system is working flawlessly now, after addressing the finder issue. It was all about a corrupted preference issue. Thus, I created a new account, saved the file on the other, and now everything runs smoothly the it should be.

I replaced my SATA DVD drive because the installer didnt seem to like it.
I seemed to fix that problem to create another,
I borrowed a DVD IDE drive from work and tried to install. If I used 10.5.2 and let it boot up, within seconds a screen comes up telling me to restart.
If I use -v -x, just seems to panic out and turns off my computer.
10.5.1 gets me into the installer to a point, but soon as i click next and accept, it comes up with a log I can choose to save, telling me again to restart.
Any solutions?

If you have tried numerous of times with the same DVD on different drives it can either be a), your DVD is corrupt (burn at lowest speeds instead), or b), your hardware specifications don't quite meet the requirements.

Try booting off from the DVD by using -v (verbose mode), and check to see if their are any errors popping up. Then let us know, and we can decide a better option for you.

If it is your hardware wait for the next release, matter of one-two days, and try then. Zephyroth said he included many improvements to hardware compatibility. Also, their are some surprises in store for us. Lets just wait and see. =)

Just as I thought I was actually getting somewhere, someone else comes out and bites me in the ass.
I downloaded Leo4All and tried that. This time things worked alot better, I managed (with much fiddling) to format my parition to HFS+ using windows and the installer recognised it. I customised my install and clicked install. HORRAY
Wait, NO!
Soon as I click install, it comes up with a box saying its checking the DVD for consistency or something. It takes a LONG time. 10 minutes to hit 2%. By this point I was really tired from the day so went for a snooze. I woke up an hour later and just had a large "install failed" logo on the screen. Saying it couldn't write to its destination or something.

whats going on?!?!

well! EVERYTHING is working fine BUT, any torrent client makes the system crash... after 10-15 minutes of download the HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON screen appears. I don´t know what to do... azureus, bitrocket, transmission, anyone.

any idea?

I`ve installed Zethiroth`s 10.5.2 rev2 on my PC:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
MB Asus A8N SLI SE (with nForce4)
Integrated Audio 0x005910de (ALC850)

I`ve modified AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext so my dev id 0x005910de is now there.
And now I have working audio... For microphone only! I have no sound on output or line-out. Only the input level (System preferences - Sound - Input) is now reacting on me (on my voice or other microphone sounds), but no sounds in output channel (there IS the "AC97 Audio (PCM)" line on System prefs-Sount-Output, there IS the output volume control in menu bar, but no sounds at all)

How do I fix that?

Hello,

I have a similar issue, my config is as follows:

AMD 64 3500+,
2GB DDR RAM
4 SATA Drives and 1 PATA drive (PATA for OSX and 1 Sata for windows XP sp3)
Nvidia 7900GT card
DFI LANPARTY ULTRA D mobo

And I am stuck exactly where he is. If anyone can help or provide any insight it would help. I also get the grey screen with the mouse and nothing happens after that.

thanks!

An update from my side. I installed once again using the same image as above, except I selected the 9.1.0 kernel, and the installation went fine. Works great. Still working on a few things such as drivers for my M-Audio Delta 1010LT. And getting the resolution to 1440 *900. Will probably need to install some extensions. Will update on this.

Update:

Most of the things work. My on-board sound card works just great. However, I am trying to get my m-audio card to work. Any hints on how to do this ? Drivers, kext etc I need to know of ?

thanks for the help!

update, I managed to install the drivers for my sound card and it works great. One question. Would the update to 10.5.6 work ? I am on 10.5.2 and hence the question. I have installed all the automatic updates except the 10.5.6 so any help will be appreciated. thanks!
