TimeMachine not working
iPC OSx86 10.5.6 has been great. Everything on my BioStar NF61S, besides onboard video (which I haven't tried), and onboard networking (which again, I haven't tried), is working; with one exception. TimeMachine doesn't work. I tried "Time Machine Fix", but I still get the Error:
"Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found." As TimeMachine had not been an issue with previous OSx86 distros, I didn't consider it during installation, but remember seeing something about TimeMachine. Should I try installing fixes from the iPC OSx86 DVD via "Pacifist", or are there other fixes available? My MLB Model Brand BIOSTAR Model NF61S Micro AM2 SE Supported CPU CPU Socket Type AM2 CPU Type Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 / Sempron FSB 1000MHz Hyper Transport (2000 MT/s) Chipsets North Bridge NVIDIA GeForce 6100 South Bridge NVIDIA nForce 405 Memory Number of Memory Slots 2×240pin Memory Standard DDR2 800 Maximum Memory Supported 2GB Channel Supported Dual Channel Expansion Slots PCI Express x16 1 PCI Express x1 1 PCI Slots 2 Storage Devices PATA 1 x ATA100 2 Dev.

Any help would be appreciated. Rick :) |
As for Time Machine, the fix is just a ToH IONetworkingFamily.kext that was patched. It still requires your onboard ethernet to be working, as there are ties to networking with this because of Time Capsule. Once your ethernet is working, Time Machine should function properly.

Does this have something to do with either 10.5.6 or iPC OSx86? TimeMachine has worked flawlessly for me with previous distros, through 10.5.5. I have been using a NIC for my networking, as the onboard ethernet has not responded well to any of the patches I've tried. Rick :) |
Hm, it should work with your NIC. To make sure, remove any non working connections or connections you'll never use from the Network preferences.
iPC is also basically as vanilla as it gets too, other distro's may have replaced files with hacked versions by default. This could be why. |
dreadful bootup loop, PLEASE HELP
Help HARA. I have the dreadful bootup loop.
I have both the IPC 10.5.6 final and the IPC 10.5.6 DL LIVE DVD. They both boot up and restarts. I used this at the prompt: -x -c -v, even with cpus=1, same thing, they both reboot almost immediatly. MY system: ASROCK 4Core1600P35 Bios 1.4, Intel CPU 3.0Ghz E8400 Intel P35, ICH9 2 GIGS ddr3 320 SATA SEAGATE , 1 Liteon SATA DVDR ATI 3650 PCIE PS: Kalaway 10.5.2 boots up perfectly. How can I use this to install IPC 10.5.6, hence it does not have all the drivers I need. |
So far my experiance with IPC has been disappointing. I've been through many days of trying to patch it and getting help for it and it still does not work with my setup. I wish IPC the best of luck on there future versions of there distro but it will probably be a while till I try IPC again =)

If you have two seperate hardrives hooked up to your computer than make sure you press down F11 on boot and choose which hardrive to use. If your hardrive is partitioned then you may have a problem in your BIOS and you'll need to set the hardrive you want to boot from as your master and the other one as your slave. -Good Luck! |

I have another machine I'm working on and it seems to be taking iPC OSx86 just fine. The board is ASUS M2A-VM AM2 AMD 690G Micro ATX. It's funny but none of the other distros worked for me. I'd get some to boot but they would be unstable. I bought it because it was listed in the HCL as being completely supported with Leo4All v3. iPC OSx86 just works. The video has no acceleration but I didn't think it would, and I haven't tried very hard with iPC OSx86 as I couldn't get it to work with any of the others. I will be trying it with my Radeon 2600XT. This is fully supported in my current machine using natit.kext, but it wasn't supported in the Asus M2A with the other distros I tried. I would get software acceleration but not hardware or QE. BTW: TimeMachine works with the Asus. Anyway, thanks for your help, Rick :) |
So, I have now a working X1600Pro package (NatitX1600 doesn't work) and a working 10.5.8 Finder from an original installation. My only problem is that System Profiler shows no CPU information (SPPlatformReporter and SPiPlatfromReporter are replaced) and 'About this Mac' shows a 3.7 GHz Core Duo. I'm using the modified Voodoo Kernel 9.6.0.
I'm using 10.5.6 Server from the DL-Image. |

Nope, this isn't working. The Core Duo is from the new kernel, but what about the 3.7 GHz? Is this changeable?
BTW: What is 'nvenet.kext'? nVidia Ethernet? I didn't select it, was installed automatically. ALF.kext (Application level firewall) produeces a lot of Error 55 outputs, so I removed it. Could this be problematic? What kexts could be removed from an AMD/ATI system? Intel GMA/GeForce and NVDA kexts are out, also all others than the X1600 kexts. What about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext? |
Help on A8N-SLI
Hello,
I see your configuration is quite similar to mine. I am running a 2 years old lovely stable 10.4.8. At this point I need to change to leopard. I have been reading several forums last months and I selected finally this iPC 10.5.6 to upgrade my system. I am having some problems to boot for the first time. My question is do you recommend ipc or Leo4all for the A8N-SLI premium? My config is 2 GB Opteron 165 no overclocking and Nvidia 7600GS PCI-e (tried nvinkjet and natit) didn't worked no display detected. Thanks for your opinion in any case. Dragon |
Hy all,
I'm a noob in OSx86 and I'm trying for several days now to install ipc. Everything works fine with the install until the end when it needs to restart. after I click restart and the grey background and rotating circle appears, after a 20 seconds i get a Kernel panic and i have to push the reset button on my case. after restart i select -f string and the apple logo appears along with the rotating circle on grey and it just stands like that. i have also tried to start osx using -v -x strings and everything is loaded in v mode, a pale blue screen appears and then nothing. what can i do? my system specs are: AMD athlon 64 x2 4200+ 6 GB of RAM SATA II HDD ATI Radeon X1650 MSI K9N Neo mainboard with NVIDIA nForce 550 Chipset Please help i don't know what to do. thank you very much. |
if you get a pale - blue screen it`s probably something with graphics drivers. Have you chosen any of them during the installation ? Does it boot with -x alone or it shows the same ?
|
i have selected the ati x1600 drivers and when booting in -v -x mode it shows that he had found ati x1650 and it is ok. I'll try now only with the -x string to see what happens and I'll return to say if something changed.
later edit: I'm back. no change with just the -x string. i still get the blue pale screen. |
If the problem was the graphics kext it should be ok with -x but well...you can try booting with -s, mount the drive with "mount -uw /" command, then navigate to ./System/Library/Extensions/ and remove ATIinject.kext with "rm -rf ATIinject.kext", write "reboot" and boot with -f next time. If the problems lies in video drivers, it should fix it.

1. thank you for the advice. i tried to reisntall, this time with natix kext and it worked in safe mode (-x). But now my question is, what can i do to make it work normally.
2. when i'm in -x mode i don't have network working, is there a way, i told you i'm a noob, to install drivers for the network and audio so that they work. something like Device Manager in windows? |
