Been on this forum many times but today i have a need to post. I am running LawlessPPC 10.5.4 on an AMD machine. All goes well except for when i un-zip a file using the built in zip (archive utility) or macpar deluxe, or going on to…

So I have lawlessPPC installed and running beautifully except a couple snags. I have retail copies of both iWork and iLife. How do I go about installing these? I tried installing them like normal but when I launch GarageBand I get a…

so ive installed the voodoo kernel 9.5 ontop of my current lawlessppc install, and instead of getting kernel panics doing wierd things such as uncarchive .zip files, now its when installing software. i get a kernal panic saying PROCESSOR…

so i finally got everything working without kernel panicing thanks to this forum and all your help. now the next question is updating to 10.5.6. i read and searched the forum and followed the guides which state downloading the universal…

so here is my set up. phenom 9950 black edition msi k9a2 platinum 790fx chipset 4gb ram 500gb western digital hard drive radeon 3650 video card i have lawlessppc (which installs but i get kernel panics everytime i do something intensive,…

i have LawlessPPC installed on an MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard an am getting no audio. wondering which driver you all use. thanks.

“oh ok gotcha. i currently have the voodoo kernel installed ontop of your lawlessppc distro. sorry if im missing something, but you say to download the update 10.5.5 from the website and apply it or...”

“quick question lawlessppc, i have the same motherboard as you and just curious. when you install the lawlessppc distro, it installs the vanilla kernel. when you updated to 10.5.5, did you use any patching or just download the update from th…”

“thank you so much lawlessppc. i will def give this a try. just downloaded it now and will let you all know. thanks again for all your help and work.”

“does anyone know of a 64bit chipset driver for an msi k9a2 platinum motherboard which is a via chipset, south bridge 600 and is an 790FX board. thanks.”

“Thank you so much for that help lawless. This morning arond 2am I managed to get it working. I installed lawlessppc and then installed a few kexts from iPC from the desktop ontop of lawless. ThNk you so much for your work. If it panics agai…”

“just installed and still get kernel panics. going to try another distro to make sure its not hardware. thank you.”

“sorry for the ignorance, but how do i go about getting the new kernal? download a new distro-with that kernel?”

“also i know that having an intel machine is much safer for obvious reasons in terms of installing and doing updates, i have an intel machine. would it be worth while to just use that machine? if so, what distro do you all recommend for an i…”

“would i go about it by just installing a stand alone kernal? or get a newer distro and install the kernal from there? sorry for the ignorance. P.S. I tried iPC but it would not boot on my system for whatever reason.”

“it doesn't actually quit, it just pops up with the application windows but they are all white. For example, I will open up pages and the main window for pages pops up bit it's all white as if it can't draw the application. All the menus on …”

“so i did the marvins patcher and what not but iwork still is not working. anyone heard about this issue and possibly a way to fix it? thanks.”

“thanks for the help I really appreciate it. One last question i think.I'm confuse when you said to make a margins package. What exactly do you mean or can you point me to a tutorial that has a step by step on how to do that? And I should be…”

“and I have to do that from another os x partition correct? I can't do it from within my current install? Another question, what exactly does the amd patcher do?”

“you mean to install from the retail disc and then use apple software update? Is there a special way I need to install from the disc? Do I need to patch them in some way?”

“i took out some ram and am only running at 2GB. only one 2GB ram stick in there right now.”

“no. it either just randomly panics or when installing software from the installation disc. i have retail copies of all my software, and when installing from those, it panics.”

“i just re-installed lawlessppc 10.5.4 with the voodoo kernel. how can i go about upgrading, or should i just stay where im at? should i download the 10.5.5 update standalone from the apple website and then do the 10.5.6 standalone? do i nee…”

“i just figured it out! i got everything working perfectly. so for future information for anyone with the same set up or thinking about the same setup, here is how i went about it: 1) Install the amazing LawlessPPC distro and install all the…”

“thank you so much for the help. hope this fixes my kernel panics. thanks again to everyone.”
