Regarding your second question: This happens due to the lack of a bootloader, which is easily solved by manually installing it.
One information is needed to do this, though - Did you format your drive as MBR (Master Boot Record) or GUID? You can check this by launching the Disk Utility, and selecting your drive. Once you told me, I will tell you how to fix your bootloader. :-) Thanks |
In order to open Disk Utility, do I have to get to the installer again?
Is there anywhere within Leopard? |

Thanks. |

I have checked the Disk Utility and it mentions that it is MBR, but I just formated the drive within Disk Utility and didn't change anything else. I have run the instruction for the bcdedit script and I get the option on the start up, but I get chain error when I try to boot to Leopard. Any ideas???? Thanks |

I have the same motherboard (Asus M2N-E)...
I (finally) got my audio to work using the Azalia Audio drivers off the Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 DVD. I made sure to ONLY check the Azalia Audio option --during my like 4th install--under audio drivers and my audio actually works now. There is a AzaliaAudio.pkg package here http://osx86.wikidot.com/utilities-resources that I assume is the same one from the DVD, it might work for you. I still can't get my video to fully work, they only way I can do a "normal" boot (without using the -x boot flag) is to delete GeForce.kext. Quote:
Good luck, you'll need it :) |
Great link!

This post may be in wrong place, as i changed from Zephyroth release to Leo4all, but i think that it may help others facing same problems. The reason that i changed release was the many many system crashes i have had, but i have to admit that probably my LAN drivers caused the problem. Now, with the Leo4all and with a LAN card with Realtek 8139a, everything seems ok; i believe though that if i reinstalled the Zephyroth's release with that LAN card the result would be the same (no crashes). The audio problem i mentioned on previous post is now solved (AppleAzalia with 2ch support seem to solve the problem) Regarding the Graphics Card, i still have problems; after the clean install of Leopard (10.5.2) the only screen resolution available was 1024x768, indicating no proper hardware support. Then, i used the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92" and after a restart the native resolution for my TFT is now supported; the hardware info for the mac: Graphics by NVIDIA: Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0392 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1 Displays: SDM-HS95P: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected As "Quartz Extreme: Not Supported' appears and as Lanxxx advised on previous post, i altered the nvinject geforce.kext Nvdanv50hal.kext nvdanv40hal.kext and nvdaresman.kext by declaring my devices' string id (0x039210de). After a restart, a blank screen appeared and i was able to login in only with the -x option at boot.... I have reinstalled the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92", now i can login with normal boot... However, i believe that the video acceleration is not working (Quartz Extreme:Not Supported, xvid videos playback is problematic). Thank you all very much for the support so far! |
