Hi, I have made a post about this in the past but it was soon deleted from the thread I was posting in due to read-only circumstances. I am trying to install leopard and get the ball rolling but I am faced with the following problems.
- PS/2 Keyboard and mouse not working - SATA HDD not recognized - Possible sound driver needed Here are my system specs. Quote:

There is a tutorial on the wiki about the PS2 and injecting kexts into the dvd -
check it out, I dont think you need a mac either to apply a new kext. The PS2 issue is in the "Known Issues" section and the kext injecting is in the "How to's" section http://osx86.wikidot.com/start |
Thats just it though. I have found many tutorials on insanelymac that mention the fact you need a mac for use of terminal. In the how to section it also requires use of mac terminal with little explanation of what to do before then or how to get there or what to use. It just jumps right in to terminal commands. Also the PS/2 solution is for after you install leopard. I am also left without a solution to my SATA problem. Thanks for the reply.

If you have access to a windows machine, you could get a program such as " magicISO " or any other program that allows you to edit an ISO file. This will help you clean out the DVD of un-needed kexts, and inject what else you need into it.
Though, this hasn't been tested. Have you tried installing Tubgirls 10.4.10 release? |
Hey, no problem, I understand the frustration, I actually gave up and spent the $50 bucks for a cheap PATA drive, but if thats not an option than keep researching, Ill do the same. Im still kinda new to this stuff too, so sorry I dont have any specific answers right now, it does look like you at least need a working mac drive to install the kexts in the dvd though, but keep trying, maybe theres a way to do it.

Thanks, I'm still open for solutions.
@ShadeZeRO I have a windows PC and a ISO tool. However the ISO tool won't do me much good as only transmac can see the folder where the kext is located. I really don't need to remove any kext but when it comes to patching is it really as simple as injecting a extra file into a ISO? I'm a bit confused here. Also wouldn't that make it non-bootable? I really do need a step by step walkthrough now because I am pretty confused and I have hit a dead end. I was hoping this installation would be pretty straight forward. No I have not tried tubgirls release but isn't that Tiger? I really want leopard. |
Well, like I said, I've never done it in windows. So I'm not too sure.
But what I do recommend, is install tubgirls release. Then from there, you should be able to patch up the DVD like jshanh pointed out. I've never run OSX on a SATA Drive though. I'm going to take another quick look around the forum, I'm sure I've seen this problem a few times. |
Thank you I appreciate it. Guess I will continue tomorrow. I really want to keep this from going throughout the week if I can keep from it.
|
Still here, Still open for suggestions and hopefully a solution...

I don't mean to keep double posting but I have been working on this for a whole week. If there is no solution just tell me now because I really don't want to waste my time off on something I will never achieve this is urgent I really want to get this OS installed.
