Hi there!

I would very appreciate some help from you guys.

1st of all I'm a MAC USER. I've my own original Mac but I've some PC's that I want to make them Mac OS X Leopard too, but I'm getting some problems installing the drivers or so (I'm a not good at all with this).

PC Spec: • Intel Pentium 4E, 3400 MHz (17 x 200) • Asus P5GD2 Premium (2 PCI, 3 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Dual Gigabit Lan, IEEE-1394) [with wireless onboard adapter!) • Kingston (2x 512 DDR2) • NVIDIA GeForce 6600 (DNA-Force 1.2.7590a Quality) (256 MB) • LG Flatron L1720B [17'' LCD] • Creative SB Audigy 2 • Creative Inspire 5.1 P5800 • Maxtor 6B200M0 (200 GB, 7200 RPM, Serial-ATA/150) • Font Thermaltake Silent TWV480 Total Watts Viewer

Thank you all!

With some tries, finally I installed the Mac on PC.

But I think I'm not taking all the power (like for ex. my graphic board) from the hardware :S

Any suggestion?....

Congratulations on getting it installed! Now you just have to make your hardware working...
Check on System Profiler if you see the graphics card support Core Image & Quartz Extreme.
If not you would need to fix the graphics with an injector kext (nvinject, nvkush, corevidia...) or a different one if you already installed one from iAtkos.

Thanks !



I'm checking the SP. It's says on the Graphics/Displays: Displays: Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

I'm with the ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1.

:S



Then I found some drivers:

For the Creative SB Audigy 2
I found http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...p/t104797.html
and it's function perfectly


I've found this site: http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/
for the GeForce 6600 (I install the two packages NVkush Installer Package and NVidia Leopard Kext Installer Package)

and then the system didn't woke up
That's happened after I install the NVidia Leopard Kext Installer Package, how do I uninstall it?

[chaos9k]

There is one more problem, I just can start the OS with the DVD of iATKOS i5 inside the driver otherwise it wont start

[chaos9k]

I've found this way to enable Quartz:

this works?

The NVIDIA Leopard kext installers updates system kexts with nvidia official drivers (from Apple), they should not be needed for your card, its more useful if you have recent cards like 9600/9800.
The injector kexts (nvkush, nvinject, corevidia, etc.) make your nvidia card look as it if were a real mac card. You can use one but only one of those injector kexts. Make sure you dont have more than one installed in /System/Library/Extensions at the same time.
You need both things to get QE/CI working, a working set of nvidia system kexts (they are installed by default with Leo) and one injector kexts that supports your card.

The starting problem is different, it means the bootloader needed to start leopard didnt get installed properly, you can try to reinstall it from the iAtkos DVD (selecting the bootloader only) or just boot from the DVD and install the Chameleon 2 installer.

thorazine74 I reinstall the OS and I choose those things to install with it:

But I'm not so sure if I've choose the right things, can you check please?


.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................

• Creative SB Audigy 2 driver is OK
• Boot is OK
• NVIDIA GeForce 6600 is OK
• In Quartz Extreme it says "Supported"

I'm going to test now checking any anomaly

Thank you thorazine74 for your precious help!

PROBLEMS:


My PS2 keyboard doesn't work... How can I fix it?

How can I get the drivers for my wireless (onboard) device?

Sometimes the PC doesn't shut down correctly :/


TIA

It doesnt look really correct to me but if it works for you just leave it as it is...
Generally speaking you only choose one option for each thing (i.e. one SMBIOS patch) so they dont conflict with each other.
There is many PS2 solutions, some was include in the DVD, if not search for ACPIPS2Nub.
The restart problem should covered with the OHR (OpenHaltRestart) you already installed, I got no clue if that doesnt work, only other thing would be VoodooPower.
I cant help you with the wireless sorry.
