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?

My specs are:

Motherboard: ASUS M2A-VM, Socket AM2, AMD 690G Chipset, RS 690 Chipset
AMD Ahtlon 64, 3500+ CPU
2GB Ram
IDE (Slave) Sony DVD-RW DRU-180A
IDE (Master) Western Digital WD2500 HD 250GB
One 250GB partition, MBR-formatted
Radeon X1250 Graphics (Onboard)
Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit Ethernet (Onboard)

I know all this CAN work, because I had Leopard running on this machine fine before trashing it with the iPhone SDK (which I now know needs to be installed without the CHUD support).

Thanks.

Welll, Let me explain that I have one 200Gb Sata drive where I have 2 partitions. In the first I had installed Vista Ultimate and on the second I installed Leopard. I didn't used disk utility in order to make the partitions, but I made them within Vista device manager.
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.

You might want to try this: http://nvinject.free.fr/512Mb.html

Good luck, you'll need it :)

Great link!

PuttaBong any reply about my query?

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:

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!

Exactly what graphics card do you have?

I have an Asus Geforce 7600GS 512Mb
Really impressive i have not mentioned that earlier...

Try this

failing that this is probably your only option

Before you begin the installation, go into disk utility, and set up your partitions (in HFS+ partition scheme), choose MBR or GUID. Then, select the destination source you want to install Leopard on after quitting disk utility. Customization your installation options (according to your appropriate hardware drivers). Begin the installation, and you should be on the role. That's as concise I can get. Let me know if you need a full guide just in case. =) Whisper me if you need any further support, gladly assist you. ;D

Hi managed to sort out a successful installation, i now get to the bootloader options i then press enter for the options and i type in -v to start the process on getting into leopard but it then stops and says still waiting for device but just above that it gives me an error for firewire

ERROR firewire unable to determine security mode; defaulting to full-secure

Could you give me any advice to get round this problem maybe turn it off in bios cos i don't use firewire.

I'm having a problem when I try to boot up. It the apple logo gets like a crossed out sign on top of it and when I start with -x it states "Still waiting for root device..." If there a solution to this.

I'm having problems getting my Linksys WUSB54GS Version 2.1 working with Leopard can anyone help me to get it to work i'm new to the Hackintosh world

Success install rev.2 using DFI Infinity mobo (nForce4Ultra), SATA drive 1 (mbr), GF 6600GT, AMD 64 SSE3

Problems which I've encountered during post-install:
1. I can't use chain0 method to boot it: I have disk 0 with vista and disk 1 with leo, can't dual boot it using vista loader, forced to choose which hdd to boot. Still not solved.
2. Forgot to select NVInject during install. :) As the result: 1024x768, soft mode :) Solved by installing NVInject and removing all unneeded device ids from NVDA* and GeForce* kexts.
3. SMB support not working because of broken symlink (not started by leading '/'), solved by editing symlink.
4. Broken symlinks to java, all in /usr/bin (!), solved by editing symlinks.

your chipset may not be supported, if nothing else works, try getting a "sata to usb" adapter from somewhere and plugin ur HD as usb. once installed Leo should recoganize ur HD.

Hi, I have succes installed Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 on my PC.
And I have just one trouble with this revision - Broadcom drivers for Wifi don't work. OS boots normal, but after boot i have a message like "Kernel extension IO80211family installed incorrectly".

I use Broadcom drivers installer from Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.1 and it works nicely.

i have fujitsu-siemens pa2510

i'm trying to install Leo by kalyway and zephyroth and the problem is the boot stuck at IOAPIC error message

"IOAPIC : Version 0x21 Vectors 0:23"

what i should do to continue with the setup proccess

Search for my thread on my 7600GT 512mb and what needs to be done to get this card working in OSX. The card needs to have the firmware flashed.

Good idea.

is http://osx86.wikidot.com/ the wiki for Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 as well??

Hello everyone.

I have obtained the latest update to zypheroth Leopard AMD Rev.2 with EFI and I am unable to install Leo on to the hard drive. The hard is a 160GB Sata-I Maxtor drive and is formatted with hfs+. I have been hitting this " Circle with a line that runs through it" also, I am running an AMD 4600+ X2 with 2GB dual channel memory. Do you have any suggestions that You All can help out with. Here are some pics:

Any help is suggested.

You need to search for 'waiting for root device'. Basically the nForce kext isn't mounting your HD because its either not compatible with your configuration or you need to try an older/newer version. You should look here and here.

yup
and there is http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/ for eddies leo4all

if you ask me, it is nonesense to have two almost identical wikis ...

Well as the creator of Eddie's Leo4all Wiki, I would better believe that that Wiki is "dedicated" to him and his releases. Zephyroth is a different world apart from Eddie11c. Eddie11c develops his own releases, that's why. =) Hope this explains.

i know, but both wikis share mostly the same content (info i entered in zephs was copied to eddies) but
with minor differences. i dont mind sharing info but this is not very efficient having it fragmented
or duplicate.

it would be better having one good wiki (not like the osx86project wiki) with all info in one place and
the release specific (zeph, eddie, R1,R2 ...) issues in corresponding sub chapters.
for this the creatorsof the two wikis (the other one would be puttabong?) have to cooperate
closely, though. ;)

anyway, i think this community is great, both forum and wiki(s)! i just wouldn´t mind it becoming
even better :)

i have a problem with my ati x1300, in the prerelease note it was written that it's driver will be included but after release it was deleted...i downloaded the dvd and installed it everything seems to be ok except two things that i hope someone can help me with them cause i searched all over the net for any solution:

1-atix1300 problem :i didn't chose any graphic driver in the installation...after finished it loads everything is ok ,but i can't change resolution and there are some artifacts.. i posted my problem here but nothing worked http://www.infinitemac.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=832

2- if the computer stays inactive for nearly 15 min,the dsl cable appears to be inactive .. but no problem appears if i am working on the computer....

I've got a BCM4311 and even if it's detected, it doesn't detect any wireless networks. Strangely, led is kinda 'bright orange', which suggests me both red and blue leds are lit.
This isn't expected, as it's just blue when working or red when not working.

Some people said it should work on Leo4allv2, but I'm really not interested on switching just to check WiFi. :P

I get a failed install on Rev2 if I install the GUID bootloader.... I can't use MBR because I have a Test Install on a separate partiton, my disk is GUID so if I reformat in MBR I lose everything. Any ideas?

hi y'all, can anyone help me with the ethernet issue? I just installed 10.5.2 rev 2 but got the same issue about NO ethernet. I have two eth ports, but bot are off, any one knows why and how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Visit to Wiki to learn how to reinstall your GUID bootloader after it fails to install in the prior installation.

I still get the blinking curser.. I remember last time I had this problem I had to keep reinstalling until I got it right... It never seems to work reinstalling the boot loader manually for me, I don't know why. I go into disk utility, my Leo disk is disk3s2, so I reboot and follow the instructions, finish, reboot and still the blinking curser.

i had the same problem with using guid on 10.5.2 r2.

i solved it finally by installing first without bootloader and adding it later manually:
http://osx86.wikidot.com/how-to-s#toc5
http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2520

i needed several tries, i guess it had to do with choosing the right disk.
where did you get the info about your disk from? you have to be sure about
disk3s2, better doublecheck via disktool@dvd and terminal@dvd/singleuserboot.
it seems to me that the nummeration depends on different factors...

Has anyone tried any other AMD release and NOT experienced this issue? Im almost ready to give up on AMD and go INTEL. :[

Which issue do you mean Carpet?

<small>edit:</small>
Zephyroth runs fine since 4th of January on my AMD Machine. ;-)

hah i posted in the wrong thread :p

Im talking about error code -10810, app crashes and finder crashes after hours of uptime from that mouse movement bug thread. That issue has long been bugging me. I currently have idelhalt=0 in my boot.plist but all that does is prolong uptime before it begins to rear its head again

Wow, yes, you are right mate. I admit that I have experienced this bug a few times in the past as well!

It happens very rarely, but I can't explain why either. A logout/re-login is required then.

still working on that audio issue. shouldn't be long until I dissect the problem. =))

I installed this today and worked great from the get go, only problem I am having is with the Mic, is not working at all. Sound is great, (AC97 driver), but I cant get the Mic to work. Used skype to make a test call and you can only hear noise coming from my comp. So not sure if there is a way to work around this, if anyone knows I will be greatful.

AC97 driver is the only one that works for me btw, I installed the OS on a Compaq nx6125 that has a Conexant AMC Audio device.

Spoke too soon. Issues with syslogd. Have gone back to the NIC :(

if it's ok, would you mind sharing where did you get to download it?
i can't find anywhere

Do not discuss where to find the release. Discussion of such sought is strictly prohibited. Thank you.

At first, thanks for providing great DVD.

I had a problem SATA with SB600 in my DVD writer drive. I'm using ASUS DRW-1814BLT.

In Zephyroth's original DVD, for SB600 VIAATA kext would be used. It almost works fine. But when I try write CD/DVD, then I could not.

After that, I tried AppleAHCI then it worked almost fine except writing DVD-RW; but later I found it should be my drive problem because I could write DVD-RW with another Liteon drive.

Anyway, I think that agains SB600 we should use AppleAHCI on behalf of VIAATA.

How do you think about this solution?
