Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI (OOTB)

[WinLinMac01]

Unfortunately, MBR is the only way to go on my side.

@Zephyroth, I only installed the 9.2.0 kernal, do I have to install both kernals (9.2.0 and 9.1.0)?

Also, why am I not able to see my complete CPU info as stated that it will in this release? Please help me if I am doing anything wrong. Thank you very much Zephyroth. Your noticeable hard efforts have made me happier than ever before. Keep up your endeavors. =)

[cite] cgsheen:[/cite]@zephyroth Why can't I get a bootable disk out of the install using 9.2.0, GUID, & EFI? Do I HAVE to partition MBR? I've tried 4 times now with GUID and the install actually completes without stalls, I get the "big green check mark" & reboot but the Install drive won't boot (even though the Disk Utility says it is bootable...). fdisk doesn't work (doesn't even show the right partition info - Disk Utility does though). I missed something on how to make GUID partition 2 bootable, didn't I? Something stupidly simple?

Almost Successful............

I have installed on GUID with EFI but get a b0 error. I can use the DVD to boot.

7600GT wi QE/CI working ! Monitor at 1680 x 1050 Native resolution
No Network - have Marvell88E116 chipset. Installed both options - SKG and whatever the other was....
No Sound - have ALC882 chipset. Installed Azalia and AC97 kexts....get errors when the desktop loads...

Any ideas how to resolve these three issues????

Thanks

Did you get QE/CI "out of the box" or did you have to modify some kexts?

Use MBR, less stressful in terms of configuring. LOL

For me too!

I started over, re-partitioned MBR, used 9.2.0, EFI, nvidia, tried the audio .kexts, tried the ZyDas USB .kext, removed the languages...

The install completed without a hitch!
I even made it past "account creation" without a working LAN Adapter OR transfering an account from another install!
My 8600GTS - FULLY working OOTB!
No ALC880 audio. Loaded "beta4some861_880Installer" - sound WORKS!
No USB Wireless (Airlink101 AWLL3026 - uses the ZyDas 1211). Used the AWLL3026 10.4.x Installer - Wireless LAN WORKS!

( OK, I admit it: I was a little bummed & frustrated while I was trying GUID... I even muttered... But now - with MBR EFI - I have to admit: THAT WAS THE EASIEST OSX INSTALL EVER! )

I still need to install Apps. I hope Toast will work again - like it did in 10.5.1 (and Time Machine too...) So, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed...

Hey Zephy! DUDE!
seriously...
dude!

@cgsheen, are you able to see an option for making the menu bar translucent or not? Last question: I was forced to name my volume with only one word. However, in the O/S environment, I changed the name and put it back to Macintosh HD. Was this a safe thing I did?

I'm seeding at 70kbps! Be glad I have another system right next to my "m"ac. :-)

Yep out of the box, no mods

I am reinstalling with MBR now, and trying the RT73 driver for my USB adapter...searching for an ALC882 audio driver too....

The anticipation of getting this working is killing me ....

Is it safe to rename my HD volume after I am done with the installation?

I heard that when installing Leopard, it is always safe to name it one word.

I renamed my volume 2 words, "Macintosh HD" after the installation, or else if I did during the installation, my Hard Disk would not boot, and instead will stay at a blinking cursor before booting.

Is it safe what I did even though I changed the info after the installation?

Lets me know, thanks. =)

thanks for any and all help

Do you have to install both 9.1 and 9.2 kernals? What happens if we only install the 9.2 kernal?
