I'm really looking forward to try this release.
I hope that this will work on my laptop, which I mentioned in this thread. Very very curious. Anyone know if it is possible to compile madwifi from source on Leo? |
I'm sorry. May be this is not so good place for this queistion, but what i need to be a beta-tester?

lol
|
can i get hooked up with the beta? i have 10.4.8 running with the medevil sata, i wanted to try out zephyroth with it already in and give feedback. also i wanted to get the x1800gto working and ill feedback on how to get that running. thx

Zephyroth and all Betatesters,
I have laptop Acer Aspire9300 AMD Turion TL50(1.6GHz) nForce4 chipset 120GB HDD ATA Seagate Philips DVD+/-RW 1GB DDR2 Foxconn Wireless 802.11bg Atheros 5211 GeForce Go 6100 128MB I heve 3 primary problem with: video card - only 1024x768 resolution (nvinject, titan and natit doesn't work)-some problem on 10.4.10 Wireless - not working. Also after installing IO80211Family.kext from MacOSXUpd10.4.5Intel an changing en0 to en1 in networkinterfaces.plist (on 10.4.10 working perfectly) DVD-read only, can't burn Do you have solution for this problems on Rev. 2? Thank you PS Sorry for my English |
Have you tried PatchBurn from www.patchburn.de ? It creates individual profiles for your CD/DVD-RW drive.
|
i will try,
thank you |
Stop asking for test Beta Rev.2.
It is obvious that you want to test only in the hope to see it functioning correctly on your machine. And you will not make any test if it's indeed the case ... Moreover the majority of the people who ask to test have a hardware more or less close to the one of current beta testers or known to be recognized correctly. I will make an announce if I really need new beta testers. And it will be only according to the hardware that you have and of which I want to know if it's supported or not by Rev.2! |
@ zephyroth
"that you want to test only in the hope to see" This is not true. If that need i may to test all friends machines and send results to you. PS But if you will need a testers in future you may write me ;) |
@ zephyroth
you say you don't need new beta testers. Are my specs compatible with leopard amd rev 2?

I didn't say I didn't need beta testers ...
I just said that I will make an announce ... |
Its for me also no problem to beta test! Ive got a lot of time these days just say me what to do and I will do it!

@rev2 released in February(a charming thing to install with no problems) |
Again, I think I made a mistake on the probable release date ...
I was too sure of my ability to make a new DVD (better than Rev.1) in 2 months and at that time there's still a lot of things that need to be fixed. I'm working on it everyday and it's in progress. |
Zephyroth, once you get the Rev2 beta working better I can test how it works with ATI 3870s. Specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe 2 GB RAM 230 GB 7200 RPM HD ATI 3870 w/ 512 MB Memory |
okay i understand, could u just include the x1800 natit which is in the kalyway dvd with this dvd.
|
Zeph, or any admin, I'd love a chance to test my new speedy machine below are my specs!
Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer Processor Motorola 6809E @ 1 MHz / 1.5 MHz / 2.0 MHz Memory 4 KB / 16 KB / 32 KB/ 64 KB / 128 KB / 512 KB Operating system Color BASIC 1.0 / 2.0 / OS-9 |
Great! for osx86 this machine is perfect! I'm running it without problems on my C=128 with hard drive. Vista isn't working, claiming the CPU is too fast.
|
In the rev.2 insert please the SATA driver because i've downloaded the rev.1 and i cant install it. My hard disk it isnt recognized by Leopard Installation. Or if u can give me a hand on how to make my HDD to be seen by the installation guide. Tryed with Tiger made by JAS and got the same issue. The installation is working on my desktop system with and ATA HDD.
My test config: DELL INSPIRON 1501, AMD Turion64 X2 TL-56, (!)HDD 120Gb Fujitsu MHY2120BH SATA, video card ATI X1150, 1Gb RAM. Please include in the next release the drivers for ATI Mobility like x1100, x1150, x1270 series. Thank you |

Well, i think we only can wait to rev2 see the light and stop to ask "when i can test....bla bla"
its ready when its ready thats it and zephyrot, i have one question: i have a nvidia graphic card, but i didn't see it in the Vendor's Device ID section on the wikidot will be recognized or i will need to edit something if give me some problems? my graphic card is a nVidia GeForce 7000M cya later and tnx for the effort on this rev2 P.D. Sorry for my bad english xS |
Hmmm. it's curious how many people asking to be a beta tester... although zephyroth said more than one time that he would announce it when he needs nw ones.

Hi zephyroth,
My motherboard is ASUS M2N-E, with NVIDIA nForce® 570 Ultra chipset. I've tried to install the Tiger releases (TubGirl and iATKOS), but I don't have success. I cannot format my partitions, they just appears at Disk Manager, but they're inactive (a gray color). So I just wanna know if you have beta testers for nForce 570 chipset, because I've read somewhere that the problem it's the chipset, and not my SATA HDD.

hi i have a radeon hd 2400 pro if you need a beta tester for this vga tell me....
|
Tnx for answer zephyrot =)
If the id of the graphic card is founded in the same way of the hard disk The dev-id of my card is 0x0533. The card is a nVidia GeForce 7000M I think thats it, is compatible? Tnx for read me Cya! |
@ emaildopedrooo
Maybe you have to repartition your harddisk? My Windows partitions also are greyed out. If formatting is possible select 'Overwrite with zeroes' from the Security Options. |
Anyone know or have an educated guess whether or not OSX would work with my system? I have posted my specs before but here is my CPUID and video card spec. thanks in advance for any help
|
@ naquaada
I followed this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=14715 But when I try to Erase the partition in Disk Manager, nothing happens. I'll try the 'Overwrite with zeroes'. (Using TubGirl release, it's a Tiger release. Still downloading the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD). Thanks for help, and sorry for my English. =\ |
Hi there,
I wanna share my installation experiences with revision 1 and help the staff to make a perfect revision 2 ;-) My hardware specifications: Laptop ID: Medion 97900 CPU: AMD Turion 64 Mobile MK-36 2.0Ghz. SSE, SSE2, SSE3 Chipset (Southbridge): nVidia nForce 410/430 MCP rev. A3. Videocard: NVIDIA Geforce Go 6150. HDD: Samsung HM080JI S-ATA, 80 GB. Audio: Realtek ACL883. WiFi: Zydas Z1211B. 1) My first installation attempt stopped after installation screen appeared. The installation froze and after a lot of internet research I figured out that the first revision didn't support S-ATA drives on NForce chipsets. I injected the the iso with the new ATA kext and from there the installation went smooth. I already read that this is fixed in R2 so this shouldn't be happen anymore. 2) After installation, it came to my first try to boot which ended up abruptly with a kernel panic. It worked out that the problem was a non support NVidia graphic card. I had to delete some of the NV* and Ge* kext and after this the configuration wizard appears. 3) After installation and configuration the system worked, partially. I had to install some drivers for my Zydas Z1211B. Actually this a common used chipset for WLan adapters. Maybe it is a good idea to included it in the iso. The driver can be found here: ftp://ftp.zyxeltech.de/ZyDAS/ZD1211_USB/Macintosh/ZDA211MacUSB_install_4_5_7_0.dmg 4) After a while I noticed that my touchpad wasn't working properly. The tap wasn't working. So I had to replace the one from the DVD with this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=21952&st=20&p=160695&#entry160 695 5) There were some problems with my graphic card. To get it work I had to install the the MacVidia driver 1.0.81 AND NVInjectGo (just NVInjectGo didn't work) and the LaptopDisplay.kext from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=37630 6) My sound card wasn't working and I had to install the kext from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520 My wish list for revision 2: 1) Full support for my graphic card, because I don't have QE / CI support right now. Zeph, I know this is not exactly your business ;-) 2) A kernel which supports SpeedStep or PowerNow. My CPU consumes the maximum power all the time. That means the fan is running all the time and the battery time is very short. So maybe it would be a good idea to provide the second revision with CPU throttle kext and/or kernel to reduce the power consumption (and the fan noise of course ;-) 3) Support for my X10 WTI remote controller And at last I noticed two odd things and I don't know how I can fix this. 1) The system start takes very long if an usb drive is plugged in. Sometimes it doesn't start at all. 2) The MAC OS clock interferes with the XP clock. If I set the correct time in MAC OS the Windows XP clock is 1 hour behind the actual time. If I correct the time and next time I boot into MAC OS the time is 1 hour ahead so I have to correct this clock as well which means means the XP clock is wrong again and so on... Does anybody know what's wrong here? cheers, komeet |
on the test reports for version 2 it says (actually uploading it) does that mean good news or what does that mean?
|
That means I'm uploading it on ftp for Beta Test.
|
oh. my bad. i got over anxious. i been trying to prepare my old desktop for mac. but its older than most computers its from 2001. so i don't even know if it compatible. which i am about to check

Hello everybody.
I know this forum is for the Beta 2 and rightnow is closed to some testers, and I know as newbie i can be a tail as a tester but i have expirience in Unix/Linux systems, so if you wish I can help as a tester. Meanwhile i'm reading some helps and tring to find some kext -just in case for the original iso and other i will modify- Even when i tryied to download the Zephyroth's version 1 its imposible the torrent in the bay that match doesn't have seeders or lechers some one can tell me specific keywords to look for, becuse I have an "new" -used by my cousin- lap is the HP's tablet TX1232LA an I want to see it runing in OSX-86.

I can't wait to test this out. I got an HTPC, mainly used for satellite dvb, known as the CW3000HD.
If possible, I'd love to get my hands on the beta and see about getting kext's made for my pci and usb dvb/atsc devices and getting MythTV running with it. Would look sweet as hell also, in 1080p glory. Quick rundown of hardware: Asus M2NPV-VM Mobo AMD64 FX64 Processor Geforce 6150 Video Nforce Lan A few other little things... Would someone please put this on megashares instead of torrent when released? Megashares, you can upload a file w/out splitting it. Torrents take forever. Of course, ftp access is ideal ;) |
Just a small (nealy OT) question:
Why do you keep the Beta closed for Rev.2 ? Normally I understand a closed BETA for a product thats gonna be sold ... buy you re not gonna sell it, don t you? So, besides keeping some noobs from asking stupid questions, what is the idea of having it in a closed group. Adding some more people from time to time, when exotic chips come up, will just make your work endless ... so why not throw it out and lets "fix it" in a really huge group, as I think that all people in this forum here are really interrested in gettin Leopard up and running ;o) Just my 2 cents .... |
in case you din't found an answer to your question :

Actually my problem is, that my setup is so standard (A8N5X, Opteron 165, 2GB Kingston, Quadro FX 3400 (which never made it into QE/CI under Leopard)) that I wouldn t be a Beta candidate for your testphase ... and its killing me to read all your "protocols" without having it under my fingers ;o) |
don't compare microjerks with apple :) or with zeph, you rule man :))
|
7eventh, Apple didn't have public betas for Leopard either - so that comparison lacks a bit of realism :D
Just a little more patience, it's worth to wait! RC2 is very improved! |
7eventh
Do not confuse all. Your card doesn't allow QE/CI ? Ok but Rev.2 will not do anything more for that as long as a suitable driver will not be available.(or maybe you're not skilled enough to make it work ...) I'm not recoding Leopard ... Making an OSX86 release is just to put some things together (kexts, apps, some scripts ...) so that it will work on most systems. I'm not waiting for anything. I don't have any release plan. I'm not organized. I'm just free and I will continue to be. Those who want a new release ... I've just one thing to say : All they have to do is to make one or be patient. |
Are you still taking beta testers?
