Hi most of my install runs fine, my graphics card if recognized, and it says quartz mode is supported. Open gl graphics work fine, but a little blocky compared to other modes in vlc on windows. I have patched the cpuids with marvin, but I…

Ive been trying to install a xml tv guide grabber to use with eyetv. The grabber is in perl which seems to be installed, but there is no sign of the make command. Ive gathered that this is included if you install the developers tools of…

Here's my issue, The install is perfect efi on guid after marvin everthing works including toast and timemachine. My only problem is , if I start with -f all my extention drivers load and everthing is dectected properly, but if I don't…

Anyone using remote buddy? I have a Media Center IR reciever and it makes it work with the apple remote in most apps. Pitty the demo only works for 30 Days, Im still looking for a sn, or a download of a old version with sn. If anyone has…

I saw in another forum somebody claimed to have a intel osx86 at 10.5.2 with working sleep. Does Rev 2 fix the amd so we can now use sleep? If Yes Does S1 or S3 work As I know in the last rev sleep would crash the pc, or it wouldn't wake…

Hey Can anyone help me, I added all the dashboard widgets I want and most/all of the new ones are just blank. I am the root user so I think the permissions are right, I ran diskutil and repaired permissions and ran marvins utility and…

“Ok I just finished installing and my testing. conclusion was I couldn't boot from guid partition because the first disk always read rdisk0s2 And sofar The only way to make the first partition read as rdisk0s1 was to use mbr. at least It sti…”

“Is a NV raid driver very hard to add , because it needs to be installed first?”

“Does anyone know if 10.5.2 can be installed on a raid drive. I see alot of nvdrivers installed Is there a raid driver to control nvraid of the sata plug? I see some people are installing it on sata drives.”

“hot f1 racing day the cars are sliding off the road with no TC and melting tyres”

“Thats ok, thanks heaps for the guide, The pc is so much faster and smoother, and to think the only thing faster is a proper desktop mac worth big bucks is very sweet. I'll keep my eyes out to see if anyone comes up with a nvidia raid driver…”

“Ok so I got it installed and nearly everything works. A few notes for you wiki, if using only the disk you need to restart after making the raid give an error, then delete and build the raid again and it will succeed and let you install. A …”

“I got it to detect and its installing on the raid now. I had to create the raid, fail with error, reboot cd this forces the raid.kext to load , then delete the raid and rebuild it, this time it Is successful and makes a raid partition that …”

“I can use a ppf if you can make one and reburn the disk, I'm still not sure how I make an image of the install disk and boot from it. Can't I just force load the next using terminal before installing?”

“now it says the raid drive is online but I can't mount it and it doesnt appear in the list to install on. Maybe I'll need to boot like you said, could you give me a few more details of how to boot with the raid kext included”

“after I created the raid and it failed to come online I rebooted the cd and the raid I made was online hopefully everything will be sweet from here. Maybe your guide is fine you just have to add reboot after making raid fails. Still trying…”

“I have another install on a separate disk, how do I Go about installing from an image/ ISO I'm a bit confused do I need the kext on the install disk?”

“hey, I tried to create a raid drive like you said, and after I drag the two parts of the raid in and press create, it waits for the disk to come online, then errors with "creating raid set failed , could not find raid" Any ideas I'm eager t…”

“Thanks heaps for all the effort you are putting in, I'll probably give it a go soon, I always prefer a os on raid, the boost is always noticable. Good Luck”

“thats great, does that mean you can boot off the zfs file system using the Darwin efi bootloader? If yes then this is a great find. You should cut and paste the commands you used and make a guide. I looked into the nforce raid drivers and f…”

“I read your comments on installing raid via partitions rather than disks and was wondering if you thought it could be faster this way in raid 0 ? I thought if you could partition exactly the surface pallet size , you would have a different …”

“They are crazy high speeds for the uncached read, Does the whole system seem more responsive? If you find its stable enough like three, four days uptime then I will be up for it. Everthings installing so well on this install, just can't get…”

“I found the info on installing ZFS in read/write mode, but its suggested that its a bit unstable and leads to crashes, probably when the disks loose sync, that happens about once every two months with my HWRaid array. You'll have to test ho…”

“The sequential is perfect more than double the base rate. That would make big file transfer fast within the array.”

“DMRAID sounds cool. If you could get that working it would solve heaps of problems. There's plenty of info on the net about using it to get raid working on linux. I hope you can get it working on Leopard.”

“Ok I was wondering if a linux driver , which we could find that nv raid for linux would have anything to do with leopard driver. Maybe a cross between that and a regular raid driver from the install dvd would give us a working start. If we …”

“Thanks for showing the baseline zeph. So what do you think, any chance we could scrap up the hw raid driver. At the moment I have my main vista on A stripe raid on the nforce4, I mainly use it to record tv from a epg gide setup in Media cen…”

“Any chance you could find/add a nforce4 raid driver in the next rev? For the onboard on the sata raid. Most hw raid computers are nearly twice as fast as without raid. I think Leopard install on raid would be very fast. Does the above indic…”

“the -f forces the extentions to load at boot. I use at every boot, you can add it to com.apple.Boot.plist which is the boot file at it will work auto. I use -f -v You can try reinstalling ATY_Triakis.kext with kext helper it may have a perm…”

“try booting with -f -x but if you get stuck in the graphics loop you need to follow the fix Boot using "-s" flag then type -> /sbin/mount -uw / passwd root <- Type any password you want touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone reboot”

“will this work on amd or only intel? Obviouslly I won't have the drivers necessary for a pc So isn't a distro with drivers included still better for most users? Looks good anyway, apple should really just bite the bullet and make Their os w…”

“spoke to soon, It lasted longer but still crashed after a couple of hours.”

“Ive used the new forcedeath.kext too, sofar it has stopped all the freezes I have been having. And The network was fine untill I hit 1mb in transmission, then the driver crashed but it didn't crash my system which is a positive as I have a …”

“He said "I changed the ownership and permissions on the extensions folder but that did not help." This seemed like a wrong approch to me. he may not have used kext helper yet. And he was a bit quick to want to reinstall for a simple permiss…”

“bajanboy you just need to use kext helper it is in the install now, find the kext and drag it into kext helper then type in you admin password, go advanced press permissions and script, note the script on the right (this is a kext install s…”

“You can turn off the ps2 keyboard and mouse components by adding .bak to the kexts for those two . Or just rm the ApplePS2Controller.kext”

“I think you would find running vmware on a unix (leopard) system, even if its hacked is just a bit more stable than running vmware in xp or vista. The downside being the lousy virtual graphics driver which stops the use of media center. If …”

“I never suggested anyone was running vmware in vista, if you actually read my post I am explaining that running vmware in leopard and installing vista as a virtual machine has its limitations. It matters not how much ram you have or what gr…”

“in vista in vmware you cannot use media center even if you can install the tv card, because media center needs more dedicated graphics ram and vmware only gives 256 which is not enough. Running media center just gives an error.”

“I think you will find it hard to get card specific drivers for tv tuner cards. Plus you also need tuning software which is not in leopard. Many USB tuners will work with elgato eyetv, if you are lucky yours might work. I bought a elgato USB…”

“I got time machine running, the trick is to open finder and click a couple of times on today,yesterday and such down the bottom of the list, then timemachine should start working. I also applied the timemachine patch. hope this gets it work…”

“Time machine doesn't work for me either, even after the time machine patch”

“marvins utility always works great for me you do it to the whole drive by the way not just the apps folder. Good luck”

“mira wouldn't work for me I have a media center reciever and another usb ir reciever. And mira can't see them , the os sees them but not mira. remote buddy software sees more recievers.”

“The fix for the account loop is on the osx86.wikidot.com”

“If we use mbr then the efi doesn't work correct? The efi seems to work great when booting with the cd its just i can't get it to see the bootloader on the drive. Has anyone managed to boot a guid install with the efi bootloader?”
