Hi roisoft,

I also use this motherboard (GA-M55Plus-S3G),
the bios version is F13 (the most latest one...)
I disable Serial, Parallel, Firewire, SATA, Second IDE, Use S1/S3 power
set the HD=master DVD=slave on primary ide channel
When I boot the computer with the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 it hang.

-v -x it shows:
EFI enhanced bootloader build: ToH
Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000fbdb0
Using ACPI RSDP revision 0 found at 0x000fa7c0
Hey we are going backwards! -> , restarting timing
Hey we are going backwards! -> , restarting timing
Calibation failed with 2 attempts

How can I solve this problem?
THANKS!

Hi there,
I have the lastest bios (fhb) for this motherboard. And I don't use sata drive (disable in bios)
I disabled serie, paralell, firewire, second ide and connect hd as master and dvd as slave, but it's doesn't boot.
I wonder if it's not a kernel problem. I tried -s and then load all kexts (kextload /System/Library/Extensions/* and all modules were loaded perfectly and no paci/sigsegv...
thanks for your help (roisoft and the others)

Hi Everybody

I've always the same problem with all the zephyroth mac (except with the 10.5.1 rev2 which works fine but without all the drivers)....

Please Zephyroth , Je T'en COnjure !!! Aide Nous !!!

Take note of all AM2NF3 Motherboard which your excellent mac doesn't work at all .....

Why ?? (it blocked on apple's page) ...

Please help all the AM2NF3 users !!

thank you very much !!

here are screenshots of the kernel panic i have

Still waiting for root device.

Relevant specs are following:

Nforce 630a / 7050PV
Raid 0 Array 2 drives , 3 Primary partitions, SATA interface NVRAID
DVD SATA interface

Geforce 8800GT
AMD 5000+ X2

For those with sleep problems, try this:

Open a Terminal window...

to check which mode is active, type in
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode

0=old style sleep, 3=new (save to disk style sleep)

==============================
to change mode, type in
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 (for old style)
or
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3 (for new style)

==============================

Hope this all makes sense!

Here's my thing;

- Installed rev2 over a working rev1... couldn't boot without the install disc.

Tried various things, nothing worked, so I Erased the OSX partition and installed Rev2 fresh. Same issue...

Not sure what's wrong, but i'm not even seeing darwin now.

I tried the recommend fix here (http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5) but that didn't seem to fix it. I'm using MBR anyhow...

ASUS A8N-E
NForce4
PATA OSX Drive

Worked with Rev1, but now I can't seem to get Rev2 to boot without the disc.

Any / All help is very much appreciated!

I get a "still waiting for root device" which I never got with rev1.

Here's my problem. I have M2N4-SLI mobo with AMD 64X2 5200+, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia 7600, etc. All worked and still work perfectly except lan!

In all versions i have tested: 10.4.10, 10.5.1, 10.5.2 rev.1, 10.5.2, rev.2 i have never found a detailed working!! solution for making this lan stuff work in my mobo M2N4-SLI (using forcedeth of course). Any help would be extremely appreciated.

I have even tried to modify the kext; when i tried to insert the device id into the kext i saw that it was already there so there is nothing i can do to fix it. I cannot even buy a cheap pci ethernet card cause all my pci slots(which are only two) in this silly mobo are filled..

Another problem that i found after installing zephyroth's 10.5.2 rev.2 is that when i press restart or shutdown it hangs for about 30-50 seconds (after pressing the " restart or shutdown" button that counts down).. In rev.1 reboot and shutdown was immediate.. Any tips of how i may fix this??

hi guys,
I did a guide (step-by-step how to install Leopard 10.5.2 AMD with pic)
http://www.mediafire.com/?htym3dt824x

@trovardo

I too am facing this LAN problem - I have a Via mobo with an AMD 64X2 processor. Unfortunately I have not found any solutions to this problem as yet. Using an external PCI card have marginally improved the situation but I am still getting network drops using the latest drivers/kernels. I have used the following cards:

RTL8139C - Worked with CPUS=1, with Apple Stock Driver, worked intermittently using the PCGen driver using both cores
RTL8139D - Did not work - found no way of getting this to work
D-Link 530 TX - Works using the Rhine driver from pinxue, perfectly with one core, intermittently with both cores

I have also noticed that using two cores has slowed my iphone syncing/itunes generally - therefore there is some dual core issue here too. Insanelymac comments on this being some sort of buffering problem within the kernel - which I think is probably true and changing drivers has had minimal improvement. Additionally playing with PCI settings has had little effect apart from delayed transaction setting - which is having an impact on UDP sessions....

I think this is a core problem with AMD CPUs on particular motherboards - nForce and VIA chipsets being affected... apart from using cpus=1 setting, which wastes a whole core, I have not come up with any proven method to improve the situation... maybe others have?

So in conclusion I am still using the CPUS=1 setting to get a stable system - but need to find a solution - otherwise may have to give up and buy apple hardware...

In fact, i just can't boot on the dvd ... so i can't open the terminal (..)

And i think that all AM2NF3 users have the same problem ...

Anyone have an idea ???

i'm using for now Zephiroths 10.5.2 Rev.1 - i don't cnow if this is fixed in Rev.2 - i just report my problem

i'm not shure where is the problem - any ideas? maybe some OpenGL - or maybe OSx86 Kernel issues?

Zeph, I reall, really, REALLY suggest you focus on getting the OS as stable as can be and not releasing another revision everytime you fix something.
OSX86 isn't for people who don't like to mod things so having your 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 version is like having the same thing. Sure, in 10.5.2 we have more stuff working, but then again other stuff isn't working anymore where it did with the 10.5.1. I can understand though having a latest version for new peeps.
It's not like we're going to install a whole new OS everytime there's a major update. That's just insane and if that would be the case I would quit using OSX86 imediatly. OSX is known for stability and not having to do reinstalls every month (year). OSX would be just another modded windows OS if this wasn't the case.

So I suggest, smalll fixes or updates. The 10.5.2 update Eddie made a while back was the best thing I've seen since your 10.5.1 release. A lot of users still use the manualy updated 10.5.1 release so pls don't abandon us. By working on the issues and not trying to release a new version everytime we can all relax a bit more (experienced and noobs)

Respect though for even making it possible for us to use the OS. If you said BLEEP it in the first place I would not run this amazing OS. As soon as I saw your 10.5.1 release I thought, now is the time to try Leopard. So I'm not trying to put you down or anything alright? cool.

Take care and keep up the good work.

Hi to all,

two weeks ago i started with installing leopard 10.5.2 rev.1 on my pc. I didn't got it to work. Last week i downloaded the last revision and tried again. Unfortunate without succes! And i don't know why.... If i look at all the configurations placed here on the forum mine must work also. Last night i tried again. I got the message "Installation succesful" (what already was great cause i didn't got that before) but after a reboot i got the following message:
"System Config File '/Library/Preferences/System Configuration/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found"
I followed the step-by-step guide given by ka911.

Here is my configuration:

Hey folks,

Has anyone had trouble with their sata/dvdrw drives? I tried to burn an iso with two seperate programs (burn & toast 8). Neither one worked and Toast gave me an error saying connection could not be completed or something to that effect. I can put any kind of disk in and it shows up, mounts properly, and plays properly. For some reason I cant burn .iso files anymore and have not tested making music, data, etc. dvd/cds. Is this a known issue or is there a fix?

This revision can be installed on the SATA HDD?
In my case installer sucsses launched but HDD does not displayed :(

it works on my system, go into disk utility and see of there is any harddrive detected there. if you can see your hd there, it could be you have a different system file type. You need to spare a partition (very easy) and configure a new MBR/GUID partition.

I can see the GUI for welcome window of installation. However I click "continue" to install then it nothing happen. How do I fix this issue ? My PC is,

Thank you

Have you tried waiting life for 1-3 minutes at least? If that doesn't work, restart the installation one last time and look for any specific errors. If there are none, most likely it can be your DVD, what speed did you burn it at? It should be at the lowest, 2X.

I am experiencing random kernel ( need to restart your computer ) panics with this release, something I didn't have with the 10.5.1 release. I am using EFi + mbr and 9.20 kernel. Is it possible to narrow it down somehow ? Does Leopard create any error-logs ?
Help would be appreciating casue this is a bit annoying.

Btw, I have patched all Cpuids with mavericks tool but that didn't help.

allmost everything's working for me now. Tried all kinds off installations process efi mbr efi guid. sometimes I got to the complete process and sometimes (even with the same options) it stopped. But now the hakingtosh is working.

The only thing I can't get going is the smb connection with our windows servers. "connect as" does not work neither teh smb:// options. Same as a lot of people I get a message that the url is'nt right. Someone perhaps has an answer? for this problem. I hate to have to return to 10.5.1 because office 2008 does not run on that one.

Yes, I waited 30mins. However it's not ran. Also, my DVD burner or soft(CDBurnerXP) has 4x-18x only. Then I burned it as 4x.
And I got the error message as following before GUI.

Don't use CDBurnerXP, I fell into a similar situation. Use SwiftDisc instead.

Everything is working fine up-till now, I am getting system freezes when I try to save large files from photoshop or if I try to open up large rar files.(trying to open a 5.6 gb rar folder) I have tried cpus=1. does anyone have any suggestions.

Hi there,
I followed your guide. Now, I arrive at "Do you ready own a Mac ?" screen. Choose "Do not transfer my information" and then I return the first screen "Before you begin" (my keyboard cannot be identified....)
I have an usb keyboard.
What should I do now? (I tried to boot with -x -s -f)
Is it possible to bypass those screens and configure leopard later....and just use it??? :D
Thanks in advance,

Merci encore ;)

Hi,

I've gotten as far as the installation screen, and I can't go any further due to my usb mouse/keyboard issue; they are both unresponsive.

My setup:

Boot Image: Zephyroth Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI

Keyboard: Logitech G15, Coolmaster EAK-USI, Logitech Corded Itouch(PS/2), & Precision K8-2000(PS/2) -- tried all 4, none appear to work.

I've tried enabling and disabling USB mouse/keyboard support, serial port, and unplugging and replugging the usb devices during and after usb device initial probe.

I've also tried swapping between usb 1.0 and 2.0; no joy.

Any insight/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried different USB ports?

Yeah, definitely, that was one of the first things I did; no joy here either.

I read earlier in this thread that someone else was having similar issues with mouse/keyboard, and it was suggested that they insert an older usb I/O kext into the boot image. I'm familiar with how to do this via TransMac, so if anyone could supply me with that I/O kext file, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks.

This is becoming rather frustrating, I'm currently downloading rev 2 again from usenet to make sure that I have the correct version(and not rev 1).

If anyone else has anything at all to contribute here, please please please post it.

Thanks

hauj0bb, just compare the md5 hash with the official ones, to see which release you actually got :)

61aae34354adc32f2d4b8737410899c4 is the md5 of the iso i have, and I'm not sure how to check the md5 of the files i'm downloading from usenet they're par rar files.

Definitely. However, I'm not sure if they are "suppose" to support 10.4.11 and higher. You know what I mean.

I have two issues which might be across the board for most at least the HDD part. It takes forever transfering files, between hdds, and i cant burn cds/dvds on my sata dvd-dl.

What type of hard drive is this? IDE or SATA?

I have both Ide and sata.Leopard on sata, and storage is on other 3 drivers. I was attempting to transfer files from one disk to another so i could format it to be osx format instead of ntfs but it would take forever and i would give up. Also why cant I burn dvd/cds on my LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S

I'm having a pretty good feeling that could be the reason why. I don't really think it is a serious issue to look at since its pretty normal to transfer files from SATA and IDE at such speeds.

Pefect install, well almost...
Single boot EFI8 GUID always fails to install.
Dual Boot with OSX on the 1st and XP on the 2nd partition works but I needed to fix EFI ( in the guides on here)

ECS GF6100 integrated graphics board mobo thing.
AMD Dual core 4200.
Core animation and Quartz not supported, but I think this is down to my mobo as its onboard graphics
NFORCE Ethernet still doesnt work but this is a known issue and I just put a RealteK 8139 in it and it works.

Apart from that in general its solid as a rock.

I do have few issues though.

VLC, crashes when loading, as does parallels and Crossover they just bomb out instantly.
DVDplayer cant find a graphics card that is supported and front row just goes to a black screen when it loads.

I *think* all those are related to my graphics card though. I expect all of these require Quartz etc. Has anyone else had similar problems with this build? Or can give me advice?

Oddly, Quicktime seems able to play movs.

Finally, has the front row patch been applied to this build? I'd read that it looks for the apple remote and if it cant find it, it freezes or somat?

Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Ryan

Yes you´re right, your problem is the grphics card, you need another one because the onboard is not supported, i´m sorry.

ah cool, no need to apologise, thats life isnt it! That will teach me to stop being so tight fisted!

However, I heard rumors that graphics is supported in Leo4All, but haven't yet tried it myself, since I don't have onboard graphics. =)

hello everyone could you'll tell me where i can download 10.5.2 amd.efi.rev2 on rapid coz in torrent it's to slow and usenext i don't where is the free one. please help i need this for my experiment on my mobo.

thanks
