NOTICE TO ALL: THE DUAL LAYER LIVEDVD VERSION OF THIS HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED AS iPC X-DL HERE:

http://www.infinitemac.com/f36/ipc-x...073/#post21953

Getting it now, hope my gfx kext will work with this :)

The discussion pertaining to torrents is strictly forbidden. Any further discussions will result in an immediate ban.

Thank you.

[Thread cleaned]

ahh wow. ok well I guess then some in-house cleaning is expected? (...regarding the many other torrents that have been discussed here with regards to seeding and leeching...)

Good to know this was changed.

Have you tried an efi string with universal tools?

yeah, nothing works for me, i still don`t know how to make EFI for my Mobility Radeon X1600 - that`s why my pc can`t sleep.

sorry for offtop guys :)

--

got it, and well - still no 10.5.6 for me :) installer doesn`t even start, it hangs after 10-15 seconds showing "blocked" cursor in the middle of screen. Thought that i`ve burnt the dvd, but got 2 copies and it`s still the same.

Download here. All PPF patching tools included (14MB)

* Adds support for nForce chipsets on DVD Boot

Regardless of whether you have nForce chipset or not, it is HIGHLY recommended that you patch your ISO, because all future ISOs will be based from this patched ISO. 2 PPF patcher tools included, PPF O Matic for Windows and PPFMaster for Mac OS X. Use these tools to patch the ISO. Please verify your MD5 before and after the patch!

MD5 hash on original ISO: 5eb1aaff70d1f5810cd62e9d075d812e
MD5 hash of ISO after patch: 0c93dea47a999344a3b4303740f623f9

Happy OSx86ing!

Yeah, it`s most likely problem with chipset. I don`t have nForce though, i`ve ATI SB600 but i`ll give it a try. It hangs on the "root device" thing. have tried all possible ways from the topic with the root device problem but nothing helped.

I`ll try this patch, thanks. Oh and by the way - does anyone have the SB600 ppf patch ? I know it`s out there but couldnt find it anywhere.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=130895

This is the SB600 driver, would you mind adding it to the next PPF?
I'm also using SB600 and this fixed my booting problems with my previous Kalyway install.

I'm still downloading the beta so I can't test it yet.

Will add that for the next PPF, thanks :)

PPF O Matic and PPF Master included in the zip dont work here?
I double click but it quits right away...

Update: iPC OSx86 Public Beta PPF2 PPF1 MUST BE APPLIED FIRST!

* Additional support for older ICHx chipsets
* Support for ATI SBxxx Chipsets on Boot
* Support for Marvell IDE chipsets on boot
* New MD5 of ISO: 0fbdc0ed0bed502e026cca9cf42efa2c

Thanks, will try this on a SB600 chipset.

Nice size on the PPF btw, it's 13337kB :')

These apps are PowerPC, not Intel or UB.

Please look here for more info.

PPF2 didn't work on my SB600 chipset. Tried about every single setting in my BIOS possible.

As for the Alternate bootloaders, do I have to select both those options or just one? If just one, which one do I select? I am confused about it.

In -v, does AppleVIAATA load?

EDIT: After a look into the SB600 drivers, the devID's are apparently missing. These will be added in a new PPF. It wont be right away, though. As soon as it's done, I will post it.

You don't have to select either if you don't want to. The first one is a regular chameleon built to accept a DSDT.aml file as well as a custom extensions folder, the second is for supporting a DSDT.aml and also for setting up a custom boot image.

Installing both could prove fatal, never install two of the "same" thing.

Reporting ;) patching with the second PPF for SB600 works, installation goes very quick, and as for now - it`s working. Too early to say hurrah but 10.5.6 is working on my pc with no problems ( yet ;) ). The only problem is that AppleACPIBatteryMeter.kext causes kernel panic after minute of OS working ( when installed from dvd ) or screen turning off after few minutes when i install it manually from my previous os - i have no idea how it`s related to the problem, but it appears only with this kext loaded - so no battery meter for now. Big thanks for the release and for the patch guys.

There is something called the "PowerManagement Package" underneath the Power Management category. Install this for working battery meter

Link to second PPF file is invalid. Anyone else have an alternate link?

Thnx, ill try that ;)

Didn't fix but found the problem/solution, it's because i'm using voodoo final and 64 bit, if i boot into -legacy it works

http://www.mediafire.com/?tnryq2zzvew

:)

Mitch, try booting few times. It worked for mine sb600 but sometimes VIAATA doesn`t load - have no idea why. try to run installer few times.

Ah, that would do it. :P

Yes, I just updated the link as well, I will add it to the main info.

Still problems on my GA-P35C-DS3R
 

Hi,

Finally I've got it running on my GA-P35C-DS3R. I didn't doubt the release at all! But... until 10.5.5 it was possible for me to boot with the ICH8R controller in RAID mode: a 2x SATA RAID 0 set for Window$, and 1x SATA (non-raid memberoff course!).

Now I have to set the controller to AHCI permanently. Is there any known way to fix this?

Or is it possible to boot for OSX from a SIL3132 PCIe SoftRAID controller?

--UPDATE-- !!!

After installing the kexts for the GA-P35C-DS3R with Universal OSX86 Installer, I am able to put my controller back into the RAID mode again! ;)

So using iPC 10.5.6 beta and the UInstaller it is possible to have a working 10.5.6. Only the Time Machine is not working yet, but the world will keep on turning without that. Nevertheless I will try to get that working too!

But still: does anyone know if OSX can boot from a SIL3132 PCIe SATA SoftRAID controller?

Klaafstra99

I`ve just noticed that my os doesn`t see my dvd drive - i remember that someone had the same problem but i can`t find it. Anyone knows what could be the reason ?

It works for SOME versions of SB600, but not all, and so I would suggest waiting for the new PPF to put in the right drivers.

Oh i see, it worked in LawlessPPC release, i thought they`re the same drivers. I`ll wait then - guess i don`t really need the dvd if i`ve noticed that it doesn`t work after few days :)

iPC on the MSI P43 Neo3-F
 

I have downloaded this ISO and no matter what I try I cant get it to boot. I can try to enter any combination of flags. I looks like it loads the kext files and then when it goes to boot restarts immediately.
I thought that it might have been caused by the jmicron 363 chip in my system but it does the same thing with an IDE to USB adapter. I was able to install it on my old Dell GX260 and it installed and booted fine. I even installed it to an old PATA drive I had lying around with the kexts for this system but it still seems to fail.

I have tried to use other older distros(TOH, Kalaway, iAtkos) they seem to start loading OS X but fail on something else.

If you guys are aware of anything else I would really appreciate the input. I am at m wits ends trying to think of anything else I can try.

MSI P43 Neo3-F
EVGA 9800GT 512MB
2GBs RAM
750GB SATA HDD - OS 10.5 - Maybe :-/
120GB PATA HDD - Windows Vista 64
DVD - R/W PATA

Try this, going to try it out myself in just a second, but maybe it'll help you

http://www.infinitemac.com/showthread.php?t=827

Restored iPC to USB drive and installed on to an Acer Aspire One. You do have a fully loaded customize menu. Thanks for all the hard work.

i am on my way with this distro. install went fine so far.(sb600, ppf2)

but it hangs halfway in the gui, blue background and mouse pointer, but no further.
only thing working is booting with -x.

one thing i might try is installing without gfx drivers / removing ati..2000.kexts.

mandatory options for my AMD machine are voodoo kernel and DSDT patch and chipset driver, right?


btw: i´m installing from usb stick, not dvd.. :)



EDIT: i removed ati 2000 kext and installed anew. working fine so far ;)

You don't need DSDT. It's there only as a last resort. You do need Voodoo kernel and the chipset driver.

Should I remove unsupported cards - VStream video capture card?

Tried iDeneb and iAtkos on the above without success but got Leo4All to work on the AMD machine my children use.

Also which method is best for dual boot with Vista 64bit?

Thanks

Unable to download PPF1 ... Safari/Firefox.

i have the P5Q and i must say its an excellent board and iPC is working alright on it..just the audio is not working with the provided kext which is strange (@ ~pcwiz i tried a fresh install with the kext provided on the dvd but it didnt worked) i had to install an AzaliaAudio.kext that is working for me (would be glad to provide it for the final build) still no info about the onboard audio in the system configuration window though. The Atheros network onboard chip has no working kext for it, it would be great to have it but you can solve this with a realtek 8139 card which works by default i osx :)

cheerz

Now, the download worked ...
Will arrive the thrid PPF soon? If not, I will burn today the iso

It's a nice image, the installation options are looking very good. Sadly the image isn't working for me, although I used both patches. My board components are suppoeted 100% since 10.4.6.

The graphics screen is totally distorted at the beginning, the lower half part is black with white blocks and stripes in it. When I change the X1600 kexts with patched ones (Natit/ATIInject removed) it works, but I still have the problem that Quicktime 7.5.5 is so slow, even the intro video stutters horribly. It is possible to generate an EFI string or something for the X1600Pro (ID 0x71c2) ? The card is not slow, the xbench reults are very good.

Another problem is that the image only sets the first partition bootable. I have my test partition as partition 2, it isn't booting after installation. I presume this problem is on all images since the Chameleon bootloader is used.

Why aren't the PS/2 drivers installed automatically? I think a lot of people are using PS/2. The AppleNforceATA driver from slashack with 4 GB support should be on disk, it works great.

Help! Boots once and then no more.
 

HP Pavilion DV2500 laptop, intel chipset and CPU. Celeron dual core, Used the default chameleon loader, and default kernal.
installation goes quickly. Boots up fast.. used Ps2 keyboard and mouse driver, Graphcis Excellent! Intel GM950 with acceleration GREAT, Sound Conextant HD GREAT!, SUPER FAST. DVD WORKS GREAT, USBS all work... but I cant reboot, cause I wont boot up.

Everything works very well, need to install network driver... but I can't. cause it wont boot up from the initial installation procedure...

I delete that extention ktext file, like instructed...and do a -f at the boot.

And then it boots and hangs. The display that I can see says. Somthing about a framebuffer found ..Ok...

and thats it. Nothing more.! PLEASE HELP??? anyone?

Sorry for my absence lately, was busy. Now onto the issues. I got a list of stuff here to add for PPF3:

http://pcwizcomputer.com/ipcosx86/?p=113

naquaada,

If you can send me the working kexts I'd be more than happy to add them for the next PPF. I haven't seen EFI strings being commonly used for ATI X1000 series cards, but you can definitely try generating an EFI string yourself to see if it works. QuickTime is an issue, yes, but couldn't you just downgrade it? The reason why I didn't include PS2 by default is because iPC is designed to be as close to vanilla as possible (which sets it apart from other distros) and installing kexts that the user (may) not use can complicate things. And yes the slashack driver is included in the next PPF

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Normally the Quicktime installer won't downgrade to a lower version. I can try to remove the installation check, but that's not the way it should be. If I'm using 10.5.6 I can't use Quicktime 7.4.5. It's curious why only me has this problem - except my friends which use the same configuration. I presumed it was the Perian codec, but the problem also occures after a fresh installation.

I attached the X1600 drivers, but maybe its possible to add the Device IDs directly to AppleRadeonX1000.kext, actually only 0x71c21002 is in the list. I'm wondering why nobody tested the second monitor output, ATI cards have two IDs. The device for the second monitor is 71ce on my card. Do you have a link to an EFI string guide?

A nice addon would be a additional setting that all 'Energy saving' options are disabled.

What about the info texts to the PS/2 drivers: Only install one driver? WHat does this mean? Either one PS/2 keyboard or one PS/2 mouse, but not both?

To the look of the DVD: I saw that you changed it a bit, added the iPC name to it and so, mmh. Doesn't look original anymore, especcially the removed license text. You put the info text in it, but the result is the same like in the license text: Nobody reads it because everyone wants to the install menu. Tip: Add a new folder in the installation menu 'Readme files'. This could look like this:

http://naquaada.na.funpic.de/naq/osx...readmemenu.png

If you write the text in the information fields this would be more informative that an long scrolling info page eveyone skips. But it should be formatted in a way that it fits in the info field.

PCwiz: I was never a fan of 3rd-party software on the main install disc, it is often outdated very soon, and Zephyroth's AMD Utilities are missing. I would recommend to remove them and put them on a second installation image, including the things you removed, like additional speech voices and so on (but no printer drivers). This saves space on the install dvd and a smaller image is easier to download and to update. Additional Fonts could also be moved on this disc.

It is possible to store files in a higher compression ratio or as Intel-only? I never had problems using Xslimmer reduced applications. Blacklisted system programs are Activity Monitor, Mail, Safari, DictionaryViewer (if Apple Dictionary is ment with this). Xcode and Dashcode are blacklisted too.

There are two other things: On various images the installer detected the selected language and select only this language, not all. It wouldn't be neccessary, but nicer (and one possible install problem less). On any image ever the language chooser fails, so if the installation is finished, after the reboot the language is defaulted to English. This would be a real new thing if this issue would be fixed.

So, I found a way to add an EFI String to my system, and my card is faster again, xbench shows over 240 against 220 with ATIinject. And I had to downclock my RAM, ATIiject was measured with DDR 400, EFI with DDR 333. I attached the xbench results, I would be interested in some results of actual nVidia cards (8xxx and 9xxx series?).

But this still solves not the Quicktime problem: QT 7.5.5 needs 113% on my 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Opteron when playing in full screen (1600x1200).

BTW: The iTunes Classic Visualizer needs about 118% with Quicktime 7.4.5 on my system when running in near-fullscreen.

i was able to install the ipc beta perfectly but i got a few issues.. which I'm looking to reslove with some help.
First my wireless card wasn't picked up since I wasnt sure what package use since i have the D-Link Xtreme N PCI Express card. all of the other distros i've used had the package already built-in so i never even had to select the package.

second i selected, nvidia geforce 9800GTX nvinject only since i have a 9800 GTX but now i have artifacts.. but everything else works well on the GPU side

Everytime i try mounting a DMG the pc gives me the grey screen of death.. which i asked about on a other forum for another distro they said to replace the "seatbelt.kext" from 10.5.5 but where would i be able to find that kext

also in the about mac it showes my processor running at 200mhz but in windows its fine so im assuming its a bad reading

and last thing, is this distro able to use updates stright from apple or we have to wait till u release updates?

Graphics
For your 9800GX check this link out http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=98666
Remove any other kexts related to video and make sure to to properly set permissions.

Seatbelt
Give this seatbelt.kext a try. It should be pre 10.5.6 http://rapidshare.com/files/178549460/seatbelt.kext.zip

Installation
You can use kexthelper or refer to this post where manual installation has been described. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/kernel...nt-file-t1834/

Let us know if it worked out for you. Also place your system specs in your signature. That will help us out.

ok specs added to my sig, trying the seatbelt..any idea for my wireless card?

A little help goes a long way
 

Hi,just made my account here:p I was wondering if someone can tell me what drivers I need to install so things go as smoothly as they can.For you to tell me this,you need to know my hardware - so here goes:

CPU-Phenom 9830
GPU-ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2
Motherboard - Gigabyte MA790FX-DQ6
RAM 2x2GB DDR 800 = 4GB

So can someone pls tell me what drivers do I need to pick and for that matter how should I burn the image?... :-d

You have the image file but have not burned it yet?

Windows
You can burn ISO files to disk using this ImgBurn (free): http://www.imgburn.com/

OSX
You can burn using Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/

Remember to burn at a slow speed and verify the disk as burning at your max speed may cause problems during installation.

We will start with your specs. Here is a link to your motherboards spec sheet. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...GA-MA790FX-DQ6

Chipset: AMD 790FX + SB600
Audio: ALC889A
Lan: Realtek 8111B
Graphics: ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2

You want to make sure you only choose options which you are sure will work. Choosing the wrong driver or multiple drivers from the same category can sometimes cause problems.

Personally I would choose the bare minimum and no graphics drivers (Not choosing graphics drivers will give you 1024X768 default graphics) and then fix each issue one at a time. You can avoid a lot of problems and also learn what needs to be fixed and why. This is however not really the point for this distro as they have done a wonderful job at including almost every fix you can think of. I have read about issues with 790FX chipsets but Ill let others chime in on this.

I would do this.
1. Get the disk burned
2. Try to boot the disk
3. Create a new Thread/Post under the "Questions Problem & Support" section. I would name it something like "Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830"

If you can get into the installer then that's an obstacle you will have overcome.

When booting the DVD you will be given the chance to add boot-options. It should countdown and allow you to press F8 to add these options.
Use the following option:
Verbose mode will display useful information instead of an apple logo. If you have problems booting the DVD then it should stop on a particular line and you can post that information on the forum.

4GB of memory may cause system freezes. There are two fixes I am aware of. You don't necessarily need to worry about it right now but just be away of random freezes.

1. Using the boot-flag maxmem will force OSX to only use the amount of memory you assign in megabytes. For example to limit your memory to 2GB or 2048MB it would go like this.

Code:

---

-v maxmem=2048

---

Notice the -v boot-flag discussed in the previous paragraph? You can use multiple boot flags by adding a single space between them.
2. There are patched 64bit kexts that fix the problem. I am using one at it works like a charm.

Also give this Thread a read. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/succes...-leopard-t956/

Is something known about the release date of the thrid PPF? If not, I will burn the ISO today

@lanceomni Thank you SO much!!! I'll definitely try everything you said:D(Y)

I have found some problems - 'About this Mac' shows 3.7 GHz Intel Core Solo - I know about the Core Solo, but why 3.7 GHz? In System Profiler in 'Hardware' nothing is diplayed.

Say, was the original image from a Macbook? The Keyboard/Mouse prefs won't load, if you start the prefpane directly you get the one from a Macbook, including Trackpad and so on. I used the one from 10.5.5, now it's working. Carzy, I want to keep it as additional preferences pane, so I renamed it (filename and in the package) and installed it in /Library/PreferencesPanes. If I start it now I get a message 'You cannot open keyboard and mouse preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac'. Ha Ha ;-)

If you install from another system (not from DVD) the languages aren't installed properly. Finder etc. are only in English.

Finder 10.5.8 crashes/restarts if I want to open the Finder's Preferences, the same happens when closing a window. I also get sometimes kernel panics depending on the Finder. I had to resore to version 10.5.6.

By the way - the image still has integrated Quicktime 7.5.0. I created a reinstaller to Quicktime 7.4.5, only with this Quicktime is useable for me. But I'm not the only one who has problems with Quicktime 7.5 - also real Mac users have:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread....sageID=7523351
http://discussions.apple.com/thread....512000#7512000

Please can anyone do the same test as me: Run Activity Monitor with CPU History shown in Dock and play a movie which has an original size of 320x240 in DivX format using the actual Perian codec. Scale as big as possible, on my resolution this is 1307x960 pixel (with Dock shown). Quicktime 7.4.5 needs only 10% for this on my Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4 GHz), Quicktime 7.5 or 7.5.5 need more than 90% and stutters terrible. But the frame rate is always shown 25, the same problem what the guys in the Apple forum had.
