Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830
 

Ok,I burned iPC 10.5.6 to DVD using ImgBurn.The img boots up under -v maxmem=2048 (cuz I have 4GB DDR 800:D) and after it tells me that fire wire is active,it saing that it is
"Still waiting for root device"...
Is there anyway to overcome this?:'(

Your particular SB600 chipset might not be supported. This will be fixed in IPC_PPF3.

P.S.
Ooops,sry I didn't see witch page I'm on...

Any idea when this patch will come out :confused:?

Can you give as a release date, maybe?

Thanks in advance

All I can say is soon.

Okay, then I'll wait for burning

i just finished downloading the release, patched it and the installed it. It works great on my machine, i even managed to get digital audio working on my adi1988 onboard card.
i only had some minor problems:
- sometimes a really high pitched sound comes out from the speakers after boot. i goes away when playing video or audio, and it does only seldom return.
- last.fm player does not output audio. Amua (which works with itunes) works great. i have no idea why last.fm player is not working.

EDIT: last.fm player works now. for some reason after installing the adi1988 driver, the default audio output was set to line out not digital out.

funny thing is i tried to install this on my girlfriends machine, which is an pentium d on a 945 gz MB, and intel 950 video, it installed really fast on the sata drive, and then it did not load. i tried booting with -v -f flags, i got the fast scrolling screen when reloading the drivers, and then it just stopped on a black screen.

any ideas anyone? thanks.

sounds like a kernel drop.

have you checked the proper customizing options? (you can still use voodoo with pentium D)

Also, check the BIOS out for better AHCI support, etc.

i didn't try voodoo kernel, i thought on intel it should work with the vanilla kernel. also, i selected some extra drivers, like marvell gigabit ethernet, intel ich sata and some others. i'll try again, i'll post here if i get it right :)

ok i was able to fix the dmg issue with the seatbelt fix, but now i over looked my audio..it shows no built in audio. i selected the one i have the ac97 and nothing. also for my wireless card it doesn't even show up in settings so its something with my pcie devices not being able to be picked up. and im going to try that graphics fix right now.

Help!
 

How do I use PPF-o-matic te replace the din files with these new ppf files?
In what directory in my boot DVD must I place thses files?

I'm a new member en trying to get Max OS running next to Windows Vista.

Thank you!

try to be sure what sound card you really have. ac97 is a standard, not a manufacturer. my audio card (adi1988) is identified in bios as azalia audio. the azalia audio driver will only give stereo output. so it's very important to see exactly what audio chipset you have. it should be in your motherboard manual, or on your motherboard manufacturer website.
i see that there are many audio drivers included in the ipc release, so select the exact one you have.
if you already hava a working system, you can use pacifist to install an audio driver from the ipc dvd. it would be best to remove any other audio kexts from /System/Library/Extensions, and also extensions.mkext if you install a new driver. after that reboot with -f flag to force loading all the kexts.
hope this works for you.

just run ppf-o-matic, use the select buttons to select the iso and the ppf file, and then click apply. be sure to use ppf1 first and then ppf2. it does not matter where the iso and the ppf are located.

it would also help a lot if you would put your hardware specs in your signature.

Ppf
 

Thanx, it worked

I'm waiting and waiting and waiting :'(
On Wednesday I have to go to work again ;)

Now im not one to talk as I have not updated to 5.6 yet. (I have installed 10.5.6 on a laptop temporarily) Is it possible that a few of your kexts got overwritten with those from the update? Id try rolling back a few of them if you backed them up.

Help Please

I'm getting this error on install.

BomFileError 1: Operation not permitted - /Volumes/disk0s3//System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi

My Setup

Gateway (GM5067H)
AMD Anthlon 64 X2 4200+
Foxconn MB (C51GU01), nforce 410 southbridge, Geforce 6100 northbridge
2GB Memory
Integrated audio - AC97, Realtek ALC653

boot.efi is the file used by real macs to boot to that volume. It sounds like the bootloader you selected didn't install correctly. Either this or you selected the wrong one. How did you customize?

You may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected.

Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?

I also wanted to add that on CD boot at the f8 screen I entered "-f -x -v". Now I did this on each install attempt with the same end result - the BomFileError message mentioned earlier.

I also tried to select as little as I could on the customize screen during install. I think the last attempt I simply selected the Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 since I have an AMD cpu.

Other than that there isn't much more I can add.

I did patch the 10.5.6 ISO with ppf1 and ppf2.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I want to update from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6.
Is it possible only to use the ipc OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, which is includded on the disc, 463 mb?

I've tried AMD software updater. But when detecting cpuid, it gave error.

I've tried this method.

Installing PC_EFI v9 with Universal OSX86 installer. This worked.
But DSDT Patcher Gui, none of them worked, gave failures.
But i did the software update, not with ASU, and system doesn't work anymore. I will try a clean install with iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3.

the EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old chameleon is fine yet too, but we'll see some cool features being put into the newer bootloaders soon.

ppf2 isn't really needed by your system. have you checked the md5 to verify everything patched ok?

Just so we are on the same page. I booted the PC with the DVD iso in place. Clicked F8 and entered "-v" then hit enter. After that I eventually get to the customize menu. From there I only selected the Voodoo kernel and seatbelt patch. I then selected the Apple enforce drivers since that was the only option that looked like it matched my chipset (nforce, see signature).

Am I missing something?

Oh I forgot to mention I have a USB mouse and a PS2 keyboard.



Yes I verified the checksum after applying the ppf1 and ppf2 patches to the iso.

I'm not sure what might be going on here.

Thanks

for me only works on pentium d on a asus 945gz motherboard with the voodoo kernel. i thought on intel hardware it should work with the vanilla kernel. anyway, it works great with the voodoo kernel, i'm just curios why it does not work with vanilla.

I don't have yours problem with 'About this mac'.
But i got the same others erros than you :
- the finder preference dialog make finder crash (v10.5.8)
- the keyboard/mouse prefpanes won't correctly load, and when it happens to load, it shows prefs for notebook keyboard and trackball.

So, how to do restore finder to version 10.5.6?

you don't need to use ASU to update from 5.5 to 5.6. just read this:
http://www.infinitemac.com/showthrea...9395#post19395

Added an issue tracker link to the first post.

@alxdabrazil:

Open on your boot drive and look in /System/Library/CoreServices, there's the finder. replace it with a version from 10.5.5. To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane with a normal one. Maybe you have to repair permissions with Disk Utility.

Does the System Profiler show all hardware information about your CPU and so? There's an error on my system. What do you have for a system, do you have AMD or Intel? What kernel are you using, 9.5.0 or 9.6.0. Plz add your system specs in your signature.

i got iPC running!! But..
 

i first of all installed it with nvkush and 0.2.1 512mb package in the installation and my nVidia 8500gt card worked, it supported the transpancy, my ideal resolution etc. except that when i go to any full screen program, ie. front row or iTunes visualizers i don't get the nice fade in/ fade out full screen effect.
i've also tried the 9f23 installer from nvinstallers and right after that the efi studio but no luck. can anyone direct me on what to do? or should i downgrade to 10.5.4, with my previous install disk. running 9.5.0 voodoo kernel. chameleon boot loader with the custom picture. i have AMD.

my specs are found at:

thanks.. and
ps this site looks awesome!! nice job to the webmaster(s): rogue, and voyn1x, and others who helped

What does it say in in System Profiler about your graphics?

iPC works great on my HP Pavilion S3500f
 

AMD Athlon X2 5400+
Asus nVidia MCP61 (custom board for HP)
4GB DDR2 800
1TB WD HDD
Optiarc DVD
PNY nVidia 8400GS (low profile)

Only thing is what sound kext to use for sound I know its a Realtek ALC888, it is functional but no input and cant use front headphone jack on system. Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio [10de:03f0] (rev a2)

the way my realtek ALC888 started working is i installed the ALC888 package first in the installation or in the DVD but nothing workek, and then i installed ALC888 Legacy Address 0, and that solved everything with all my jacks working. Except their independetely and not detected as 5.1 in the audio MIDI setup utility.. but oh well..

good luck

@lanceomni
 

thz. for speedy reply

well it says:

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...7/Picture1.png

oh and also i tried installing my leo4allv3 graphics drivers, the ones that worked with no problem, but they crashed my system.. so i learned the hard way that 10.5.6 is a really major update! :)

I actually tried the HDA patcher after grabbing the codec dump for mine.
which allows me to pick my speakers (back speaker/line out) or headphones (front jack)
Inputs do not match anything (Internal Speakers and Internal Mic)

I will try the various alc888 packages from the dvd.

Now I have to solve another problem, mouse won't work sometimes on boot up. also get wierd USB hub errors.
Keyboard and mouse are Logitech Cordless Desktop EX310 keyboard and Laser Mouse (single RF receiver)
But one nice thing the HP media drive (compact flash, SD, etc) works.

Ok,I have total success,except for one little thing... -Audio :-/ I go to sound/output and It tells me "No output devices found." in spite of me installing the proper driver (ALC889A).What can I do???:'(

install the HDAEnabler kext file so the system shows that it works... then make sure you correct permissions and have an updated Extensions.mkext file or just boot with -f to ensure it is using the kext.

I have a problem
 

I have a problem,

Everything works so far ..except ....

when I click "About This Mac" everything refreshed,

just not showing the ABOUT panel , any idea ?

by the way ..if I am not using any driver within FFP1 or FFP2, do I have to patch the iso?

my spec

INTEL 975, ICH7, Q6600, 4GB RAM,

Thanks ...

i'm trying to install this release on a toshiba laptop model A305D, turion x2 cpu, 3 gb ram, ati video. i get stuck on IOAPIC error. i tried booting with various parameters (i searched teh net for a sollution), but with no luck. i also tried leo4all v 4.1.1, kalyway 10.5.2 and another one, i think it was ideneb. no luck.

the bios on the laptop is more than crippled, so there are no choices for sata, power amangement, etc. even the cpu can be set to dynamic or low speed only :)

anyone here can help me with this?

The last post in this thread talked about this but being that your not able to make changes in the BIOS I don't think its going to do you any good. Figured Id pass it along.

Is the the actual thread to ask if your system is supported?
If not i will make a thread else where.;)

Post your specs or put them in your signature. CPU, motherboard, chipset, graphics...

Ok, its a laptop tho, i doesnt it matters, does it?

CPU: AMD Turion X2 64 TL50 1,6GHZ
RAM: 2 GB
Chipset: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M/1100M/1150M, AMD Hammer (That is what Everest says.)
GPU: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 128mb.
Motherboard: Acer Apsire 5100

I dont know if i put in the correct chipset information. :-/

What model is it?

Acer Aspire 5101WLMi:

Btw:
This is the first time im trying to install Mac OSX, so if i need to change kext files or something, expect that i understand 0% of it.
Tho, it would help if start some research.

i've already tried it (except ahci in bios) and it does not work. thanks anyway. tried platform=x86pc, legacy, cpus=2, cpus=1, etc, no joy. i should sue toshiba for selling me a crippled laptop good only for windows :)

@Elvirana

A lot of answers can be found by merely typing "osx86 YOURPROBLEMHERE" into google. It is likely that the problems you might face have already been discussed in this and other forums. But hey if you get stuck let us know we will try to help you out.

Will you be wanting to install OSX only or do you wish to dual boot with say Windows XP?

I would first get your specs set up in your signature so that every time you post we can refer to what kind of hardware you are running. http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars

Lets say your looking at iPC 10.5.6. All things perfect you are able to boot into the installer.

• Make sure you do not skip past the option to "Customize". This allows you to add various drivers and fixes and is pretty important.
• Only select options which you know will work. This is especially important with the graphics section. Choosing the wrong option or multiple options will cause problems where not choosing anything will get you default graphics and the ability to boot into OSX. Its generally easier to fix a problem from the fancy OSX interface after the fact.
• Keep a sheet of paper handy and write down the options you select and what the outcome is.

When you boot the DVD or from a drive you have installed on you will see "Darwin" at the top of the screen and it will count down before continuing. This gives you a chance to enter some boot options (boot flags) if needed. If needed you can press F8 durring the countdown and enter them at the prompt. For example entering -v here will boot you in Verbose mode. This means instead of a blank screen with apple logo you get a text version of the boot process. If you get stuck usually you can see the last thing it was doing and post about it. There is an option in the iPC distro that says Verbose Mode. I would select that as it will put you in verbose automatically.

Give it a try and write down your steps. If you get stuck let us know. I would search the forum first for your answer and then post in the Questions section.

Im not sure about your graphics Ill have to do some research.

First, many thanks for this answer.

I want a OSX only system, just because i'm getting tired of windows and Mac is better supported on school, but right now i dont have enough money to buy a real Mac osx system.

Currently my download is on 41,0%. So i hope i can install it tomorrow( at least some attempts)

I will write it down, but how do i know wich kernel to choose? And wich is compitabel with my machine?

Also, when i get to the the point of installing, ill get you updated if something is wrong, or when everything goes right, i will post it too.;)
But i didnt saw my graphic card on the list in the other thread of iPC.
So i wait for that first.

Elvir.

@Elvirana


These are just suggestions:
Kernel - 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel (This is a great choice as it fixes issues related to running OSX on AMD and makes everything a little less painful.)
Video - None
Chipset - Im not too familiar with yours but I have read that for this particular section you can choose all of the options except those that conflict. So choose only one of each of those. nForce & maybe VIA are have multiple options. Im not too sure. Id see if anyone else chimes in on this one.
Audio - ALC883
Fixes and Patches -
Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (I had problems with the 10.5.6 version. Im not sure if that is only with nForce chipsets or with all of them)
Verbose Mode
Applications - Kext Helper & Pacifist are pretty handy.

If everything goes well and the install completes you may want to use the boot flag -f on your first startup.

Kexts (Drivers) are stored in the /System/Library/Extensions folder and OSX takes these kexts and creates a single cache file called extensions.mkext. -f Forces OSX to load drivers from the extensions folder and not the cache file just to make sure all of the options you have chosen are applied.

So, any one know why "About This Mac" crash ????

no one?
