GUID, is what apple use's on the real intel mac's and from what i've read is that rev 2 supports it, since my install takes 5 hours, i dident do it, just in case its a bit buggy, it would probably give you a performance boost, and a more "genuine" experience if you will.

Wyatt M.

hackintosh4life you have dual core or single ? sata or ata?

edit: rev2 supports it but the post install GUID script has a bug, if you chose GUID you must fix it after the install is finished :)

I have a dual core Amd turion 64 x2 TL-50 (1.6 Ghz or 1.5 Ghz cant remember) and im pretty sure its a sata, cant check right now, ill edit this in 16 min ;)

PS: everyone can call me Wyatt, hackintosh4life is too long

hmm... i have a single core 1.9 ghz with and old seagate ata (my sata hdd is destroyed thx to my early leo installs) :) anyway i dont know why it takes 5 hours to install , its really strange

edit : ok Wyatt :)

Only thing I could suggest that would be causing it is slow dvd drive and slow hdd, harsh that it takes that long though.

Eh, who cares


6 more min ;)

I have tested several Harddisks in the past.

On 300 GB Maxtor SATA it takes about 15-20 minutes.
On my 40 GB Maxtor IDE it takes about 25-30 minutes,
on a very old 20 GB Maxtor IDE it takes 1 hour,
trying to install it on a Western Digital 70 GB USB External would have taken about 4h 30 min :)

hmm... i think i'm gonna buy a new dvd driver :))) just so i won't wait 2 hours when installing osx

o shit, i think its hanging at 7 min......... if i do the trick where i start the installer again will it still be 5 hours?

and do i selct my optionals again?

hopefully I would say it wouldn't, since it seems if yours is taking 5hrs instead of 30mins, then 7mins ~ the 1 min hang, so you should be able to get it to skip on to the final bits.

Good luck

wyatt do do nothing :) leave it until the menu bars dissapers or the menus don't work anymore

too late now, already took fish's advice, hopfully it wont be another 5 hours

do i select my optionals again? or have they already been installed?

dont select them.. anyway i'm almost 100% sure that you will get kernel panic when trying to boot into leo or the setup hang error

Hmm, I think you should select them, because otherwise the missing bootloader won't be installed. At least I think I did so when I had the freeze error with RC1. On Rc2 this doesn't happen anymore.

only once in my life have i ever got a kernel panic from on install, and that was cuz i was useing an intel kernel, and i never have the set up hang, even if... im ready to fight!
but why do you say?

PS, ive used the toh kernel before, so i shouldent get a panic

it wasent 5 gb, it was 5.7 gb ;) and it looks like im asking for another 5 hours :(

shouldent say looks like, i shoukld say "i am looking at another" litterly

wyatt, you'd better format the drive with 0 then install it when it says 7 minutes left leave it until it becomes 4 and the progress bar stoppes, turn of the pc and boot into leo :).. oh and heres another advice at 7 minutes left open the install log and check if the install goes fine, if the post install partion script is install and if the last row you see before it hags is "finalizing disk" if you see that row(its a good thing) you should wait 15 minutes more because the computer will shutdown on its own :)

Ok well, ill post up whats going on with my labtop in about 5 hours....... :(

take my advice go to sleep time passes faster :D

I'm watching, but until I get a copy of the iso there isn't much I can do really (that and I can't do much until I've installed it which I can do from Friday evening).

Have you (or anyone Rev 2 tester) ever got any problem with Rev 2 concerning with the DVD drives?. I never have had this problem, but is good to know due to some people can not make it work...

i had problems with my dvd drive in rev1 but in rev2 rc2 everything works perfectly :)

Good news!...Well, in advance that is a very good sign!. One DVD drive less, lol =) .

OK, install went fine, but i have an issue... working on solution, meaning its my top priority, driver's im doing right now - bonkey and 1100/200m/x200 will be later, due to this set back

-----> hackintosh4life

Awesome work. Do you think your method will work on the x1250 from the 690g chipset? is the 1100 similiar in anyway as the x1250? What my understanding is that the x1250 addresses memory like a normal Graphics Card. To the OS it is a independent PCIe x16 card with its own memory, even through it uses shared memory. And it address memory at 200mhz x2, dual channel to feed its 400mhz core. Which is completely separate from the main system use of memory. On my AMD BE-2350 Athlon x2 2.1ghz it address my memory at 321.xxmhz x2 for the CPU. Even overclocking the CPU and memory the Graphics access its portion of the memory remains the same. I am using a M2A-VM HDMI motherboard from Asus. It use to be able to over clock the on GPU with earlier bioses I read. But too many issues, with the newest bios this function is disabled. When I get access to Rev. 2 I will try to take abit of x700 (suppose to base somewhat based on the GPU) and x1600 and 2600 HD kext. To see if I can get it to work. But I would really like to get your inputs and methods so I don't have to start from scratch.

GOOD WORK MAN!!!

As for Geforce 6150 go. Memory address the same way 950GMA also, maybe you can do something about that stubborn on board GPU. The faster the memory your CPU address the better performance the GPU gets. Unlike the x1250.

Unfortunately I do not have much knolage with that card, but all I know, is nothing but the GMA950 address's the memory like the 1100/x200/200m but its worth a try when i release the driver...

Wyatt M.

I should have a beta on the FTP, by sunday.... to work the kinks out......FInal version by the next week or less.... I know thats long but i have school and I need to make audio drivers, as well as get the Rev 2 amd leo working on my system

Coming with news after a week of problems with the rev.2.
On my notebook all went fine at 1st sight, my HDD is recognized, finally!. But after this are some problems. When i start the install sometimes it blocks, i need to move the cursor to continue the instalation. All the instal took about an hour. After this i wanted to boot from HDD. Nothin'. No OS installed. Hmm triyed again, reinstalled 3 times and nothin'. Then I let the DVD inside, it appears the Apple logo, and do nothing.
Then I triyed to install on my AMD Athlon64 3800+ sk 939, all went smooth, BUT!! it boots only with the DVD inserted. My audio card its not recognized out of the box.
What I did wrong? :(

OK, im too lazy to wait 5 hours every time I install on my labtop HD so right now im installing on my Externel 320 Gb - Ill post back and say how long it takes, Peace

Wyatt M.

EDIT :

It appears that its not the HD thats making take 5 hours :( and it cant be the cd drive because its just the same as anyone else's..:( ill post back in about 5 hours

EDIT :
Mabey it is actually, because now it doesnt say 5 hours, i'm actually down to 1 hour and 37 min with my external, Also someone needs to edit the wiki - the real old one, because it says you cant do a native install, and that is nont true

Good Luck.

so, very slow hdd / driver for your hdd then. wiki saying not able to do native, does it suggest a way to do it in vmware then?

yeah, it tells how to do it in vm ware, but really whats the point of a vm ware or virtual machine when you cant have the real "genuine" experience

PS ; it better work on my external because i deleted my imac time machine back ups!!!!! ;)

Wyatt M.

well, getting something running in vmware would be a nice testout as well.

So by old wiki which one do you mean, as osx86.wikidot.com doesn't seem to have anything about vmware

no the osx86 project one...... - the one thats linked with insanely - would post a lind but im to lazy

PS: my installs done, im rebooting as we speak... ill post soon

Ok well, It installed fine, now im getting a blinking cursor, witch cant be good!..... trying some fixs.. post back soon

finaly got it working..... put in a custom kernal i used.. . worked with out -legacy..... ill put it on the ftp later.. if you want

if it works w/out -legacy don't that mean we could now have 64-bit instead of 32-bit, hackintosh4life?

What kind of kernel are you using?

I was using a custom one I edited because they toh dident work, but then I renenmed the partition, so I put the toh back in and it worked fine, 64 bit works - as far as I know, meaning no more -legacy!

Coming soon in rev 2!

- lol movie ad!

THE BETA FOR THE DRIVER IS DONE, NO ACCILERATION, YET! BUT I HAVE CORE IMAGE AND QUAZTS EXTREME SUPPORTED!!!!!! IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME TAKE A LOOK AT MY SCREEN SHOT!

o crap sorry about the caps, i had them on from another post!

Wyatt M.

With the ToH kernel, they must have done some binary hacking, because even though you don't have to do -legacy any more, it's still only running 32 bits.

Zephyroth, I am willing to join the beta team and survey the bugs that I encounter along the way. If you please personally invite (via generic e-mail) me that would be great, thanks! I feel every participant who is dealing with Rev.1 should at least have some experience with Rev.2 before it officially comes out. When is the official Rev.2 slated to release? Many are anxious to download and install on their machines. Thank you!

Oh man!...I do not know what are you doing but, a 64 bits kernel? lol... Keep working then:good luck!!! :D

wow thats cool wyatt
i think you are helping to improve the osx's installations =)
cya men, good job

@Authorhackintosh4life:

Nice work. I see you used Slice's files.. i - too - have a 200m chipset and i wish you good luck.
If you need someone to test something, ill do it. Yeah, thats the standard sentence .. dont ban me :D
BTW: The screenshot shows 128mb for the chipset. Does it really use 128mb ?

"64 bit enabled" ? I don´t think so, please post the geekbench results here or take a picture of the system start...

When the Acpiplatform load the system shows if 64 bit is enabled or not, take a picture please, and post it here, it would be awesome if the 64 bit mode is enabled only editing the mach_kernel..

Start GeekBench 64 Bit, Wyatt. It's most likely going to tell you that this architecture isn't supported for your system.

as I said earlier i started out with slice's files but since they were hard for the noob's to use I took slices and added more so its more like mine now! :D hahaha... As for testing YES PELASE!! I need all the testers with the 200m/x200/1100 - PS: anyone with dev id - 5975 i want testers for that! but i would need to you go on irc or msn, for testing.
and it use's 128 mb yes. im working on a way to use the full 256 mb (thats what mine is) but so far it just gives a white screen.

Wyatt M.

As for geek bench, let me pull that up, posting later

You are right: no matter what you do,that is the message that you will receive (at least until now). Hey Wyatt, do not forget to post a picture...

Ok might be a while, i killed my install trying to do some hexing........ gotta reinstall...... ill post back soon.... what do you think i should do? wait 5 hours for the internel HD or 1.5 hours for the external?

1.5 on the external :))
