OK, I will try to do it at once and report later!!
Thanx & Regards! Kael |
Nope.....I replaced the mach_kernel file in the ISO of v2 and the one from ISO v1 and got the same result---automatically reboot....WHY?
Thanx and Regards! Kael |
Yes it is.

Many guys had complainted the same issue on iATKOS DVD about endless reboot
(http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77488&st=0&start=0) And I found NO NX/XD Options in my BIOS as ntkas.org has states here: (http://netkas.org/?p=8) Then it gives any clues? HELP! THANX & REGARDS!! Kael |
@Zephyroth and eddie11c
Is it possible to use netkas 9.20 universal speedstep kernel after 10.5.1 updated to 10.5.2 by the package of eddie11c w/o PC_EFI? As there is no way for my BIOS to support PC EFI,I have to stick to v1 DVD to install,then update it by the package,leaving the nagging 2 minutes black screen delay. Thanx in advance!!!! Regards!!! Kael |
As far as I know there is no limitation on running EFI anymore. All computers can run EFI since it's emulated. I also believe the new kernel still requires EFI. You can test it by renaming it then from Darwin type the new kernels name, this will boot from the other kernel. If you get a kernel panic you know you still need EFI.

Thanx for your quick reply!eddie11c,but I have tried for >6 times to get EFI installed and nope---after the line "System/Librarry/Entensions.mkexts from 4XXXXX" ect,I
got automatically reboot,so I wander that's the fault of my BIOS.I use Acronis OS Seclector for Windows(X3),SUSE and Tiger ,Leopard,does that make the strange issue ?Also I notice that after the command "./stratupfiletool /dev/disk2s1 ./boot_v8" the terminal output " “HFS+ partition detected, write xxx bytes ..xxx..write back xxx byte”,and when use "list -a /Volumes/Laopard/", there is no folder named "iamefi" at the root.I just follow the instructions in wikidot---did I make some mistake?

You need to copy the EFI files to a directory on your Tiger partition name it something like efi, boot into tiger and open terminal.
Code:
sudo -s |
Hello:
Same problem here with EFI installation. I also have an Amd Sempron. I don't know it matters of not. The first attempt to install EFI was using an efi directory in the destination partition and booting in single mode user as described on page 3 of this thread. The startupfiletool seems to find the hfs partition but nothing changes when i reboot the machine. The second attempt was using an usb flash. I run the startupfiletool from another leopard disk using the method described above by eddie11c. The startupfiletool seems to find the destination hfs partition, but when i try to boot from this partition the computer reboots. On the destination partition i have the 9.2.0 kernel included on the 10.5.2 amd update by eddie11c. So I can't boot anymore from this partition! Any help? Thank you all. Dani. |
Thanx eddie11c,
I will try your new solution later,but tell me if I get endless reboot loop again,how can I uninstall EFI ?And I must tell you that the disk ID of Leopard is different in Tiger (Last time as I remember it is disk0s1,and It keeps changing,dose that makes mistake?)And what is the slight difference between command "hdiutl unmount" and "diskutil umnount"?--I have checked the man of "hdiutl" and got no clues --:-) Since I can NOT boot from DVD I suddenly come across an idear of installing Leopard from Tiger use ISO by Pacifist,but there are so many folders in ISO and I am confused which one to choose and the install order cos there are many packages with the same names.Could you please write a HOW-TO with detailed instructions to install by HDD for me? Thanx a million!! Regards! Kael |
WOW----the same result!!Endless reboot loop....do I have to rebuild my Leopard?Or there are some trick?

EFI -kernel panic with 10.5.2 rev1
I tried almost all combinations of kernels with mbr efi: with 9.2.0 i get reboot loop and with 9.0.0 - kernel panic. My quetions are all the kernels support sse2 ( my proc. amd 3000+, so sse2 only)? and if so, how can i get it working? Bootloader work without DVD. Have workin Tiger on another HD. |
Hi I am new here but have several questions. I installed Zeph rev. 1 and then used mach_sleep (sleep kernel from IRC) because I need the Leo to sleep. 10.5.1 worked like a charm. Anyway I used the Vanilla 10.5.2 update (with Installer.app don't use Pacifist, removed AppleIntelCPU.., nano Scripts/1) then I patched it with Marvin's Util and booted again with mach_sleep (which is 9.1.0). Now sleep dosen't work. I had pc efi installed with original Zeph rev.1 but I am not sure if it works or not since I have a 2 min. wait with QE/CI Geforce 7300 GT (with flashed bios for 512 mb) after the 10.5.2 update. I can run the universal speedstep 9.2.0 (from IRC) kernel but does this mean that I have efi working or not. When you talk about 9.2.0 are you talking about a vanilla 9.2.0?
Zeph or Eddie: is there any way to test pc efi functionality on an AMD machine. I have an Intel machine with PC EFI and I use Vanilla kexts there but on AMD can I use vanilla kexts to avoid the 2 minute wait on boot up? The Graphic Update after 10.5.2 update gave me NDARasman and Geforce kext kernel panic (Replaced these 2 kexts with Zeph NVUniversal.installer). About the endless reboots above it smells to me like a vanilla kernel rebooting the machine. About uninstalling pc efi, google pc efi I think the command was something like ./startiupfiletoll /dev/xxxx ./boot_i386 or ./i386 ( http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/734/howto-install-efi-patch-and-enable-vanilla-os-x-kernel-in-hackintosh/ ) |
Vele, if you already have EFI installed, you should upgade your kernel to the hacked 9.2.0, update your AppleSMBIOS, System and dsmos kexts. This will remove the long wait prior to loading the desktop with QE/CI enabled.
|
eddie I already have 9.2.0 speedstep from netkas from IRC. Is that different from the hacked one?
|
Same difference, did you update the other kext files? They are what causes the hang I think.
|
OK in another post you say just use AppleSMBios from PC_EFI v8, and the new system and dsmos kext. Since I havent downloaded your Update from TPB but I patched the vanilla update, I don't have the correct AppleSMbios dmsos and System.kext. Please whisper your comment to me with the links if you have them. Thanks.

Try installing these two http://rapidshare.com/files/94381437/Archive.zip.html
|
Yes. That did the job. Thank you once again.

Hi to all people here. One big thanks for Eddie11c and his excelent work. Can i add this in AMD DVD 10.5.2 and will it work. One question is why when I'm making backup with time machine i need to make 41 gb of backup, what is the problem and how can i fix that. That is with 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 (10.5.2. is with kernel 9.1 coz I'm not using efi), help me with this please if u know.
Thanks in advance again and don't stop doing this kind of job. |
Thanks eddie! I dont have EFI, but it works perfect. After reboot, it went black for about 2 minutes, just as you said, and after the desktop loaded and it was 10.5.2.

Anyone that still has the file sitting in their system care to upload the file again?
|
i want this file, too , please re-up
|
have you yourself or heard of anyone else experiencing kernel panics? I have been getting many kernel panics specifically when downloading files using transmission. I am sure that it has to with either the files download process or writing to the disk. I have disabled the screen save and power saver because I thought that was the cause but no luck.

It is for nforce 3 and 4, not 5. I got one new kext, which is better than the old one, but not 100% okay. I think you just need to wait for a while, for the packages to come :o) |
