This morning, I tried to install 10.5.1 (with updated AppleNForceATA.kext) on a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) based computer (with two disks), but I cannot see my disks on the graphical disks manager. So, I cannot prepare partitions and…

I try to run Zeph's 10.5.2 (the only version which boot correctly on this computer) and I'm looking for the good kext for a nvidia 5600 (1.5Gb GDDR3). The device id seems to be 0x019d10de. But I don't know which kext I need to modify..…

My box contains only SATA disks and to test Leopard 10.5.1, I need to replace the kext file. I can mount the iso using hfsplus filesystem (mount -o loop -t hfsplus Leopard.iso directory) and I get all thoses directories/files in my…

After some hours and researchs, I succeed a Leo4allv3 install on my old vaio Z1xmp. I installed iwi2200.dmg drivers from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/wiki but when I reboot, I have this kernel panic (attached shot). Any idea for…

Anybody tried XCode on Leo AMD ? I'm looking for a GCC in order to compile some of my C sources on leo.. Thanx, iero.

Is there a java jdk available for leopard on AMD ? The Java SE 6 Developer Preview 9 from apple's dev site is only for intel processors.. Thanx ! iero.

I tried to install 10.5.2 from Leo4allv3 and Zeph's and I cannot see my hard drives. It's the same problem than IRC but I though that SAS drivers were included but untested. Does somebody tried those drivers ? Thanx, iero.

I'm looking for kext for my ATI radeon (deviceid : 0x4c59). I've seen that on my Zeph 10.5.2 install, there is a ATIRadeon.text and the plist contains a 0x4c57 (not far..). But it's a kext from an AMD computer, and when I try to load it on…

I've a quite old laptop (vaio Z1-XMP) and I would like to install Leopard on an external usb drive before open the laptop and replace the drive. But I cannot boot direcly on USB. Is it possible to boot with the cdrom and ask to go to the…

Since 10.5.1 versions, I try to run Leopard on a HP workstation xw9400. My biggest problem is that on this workstation, I only have "SAS" harddrives. (After, I will try to make the nvidia 5600 (with 1.5Gb memory) works..). I've seen that a…

With the standard installation, I have a lot of unused applications. Ie : Bluetooth, Firewire, quicktime, airport... Can I remove those applications or are they needed for Leopard to run properly ? Thanx ! iero.

I'm trying to install Leo4all v3 on a centrino laptop (vaio pcg-Z1xmp). I can see the install screen, but I have no way to continue, cause ps2 keyb and mouse aren't reconized. There is no option in the bios to disable "legacy usb" or…

“SATA disks. But, we used AppleNForceATA.kext ? Maybe it's working but not efficient ? iero.”

“@Ryoken : I have a machine with a LSI chipset (LSI Logic® LSISAS1068E 8-port SAS Controller) for SAS : http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-12454-296719-307907-296721-3211286.html But I cannot see SAS drives neither. i opened…”

“@ryoken : Thanx for your help. It's the first install on this computer. I have another one with SAS drives, it's the same problem. Seems that everybody uses SATA or IDE ? Strange ! Thanx again for the info, iero.”

“I try to install Leopard on this computer http://www.hp.com/workstations/pws/xw9300/xw9300.pdf. I cannot be more precise about specs ! With 10.5.2 DVD, in the Install process, I cannot find any of my Ultra Wide SCSI disks. When I go to "Dis…”

“Ok, thanx man. I will dig for the corresponding file when I can boot my system again. I installed nvidia universal.. and new forcedeth drivers, and everything is broken. I'm a little tired to try to have this system working. I will try on a…”

“Mine. Don't know why my opteron procs are "unknow".”

“Ouf ! Nvidia works ! How I can send you a snapshot of the system profiler ? What can I do for the Lan ? Do I need to try again the new forcedeth kext files ? Thanx again, iero.”

“Do I need to install NVinject or just Nvidia universal installer before that ?”

“The device id is 0x00cd (0x00cd10de with nvidia part). I don't know exactly what card is it. But I think it's an old one. Edit : Seems to be a Nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000 maybe after a google search. It's written "Nvidia quadro fx" on it.”

“if that's the only way, I'll do that after the install, I had a gentoo on this box before.”

“@roisoft : How can I get exact infos ? There are some commands as lspci to get that ? sunsolve.sun .com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/Ultra40/spec”

“I relaunch a fresh 10.5.1 install. I will give you results of Xbench when it will be done. It will be a Leopard box only. No other OS. iero.”

“@raisoft : I plugged an apple 30 inches and a damn french usb keyboard which doesn't give me access to all keys. But it's the same box as on the pics Since I tried to install Nvidia and forcedeth, everything is broken. It freezes on boot wi…”

“Working ! OS: MacOSX Leopard 10.5.1 (Zephyroth) CPUs: 2 AMD Opteron 280 Dual Cores MB : Sun Ultra 40 Mem : 16Gb DDR Graphics : Nvidia Audio : AC97 Ethernet : Dual Gigabit onboard Hard drive : 4 SATA drives DVD : Atapi”

“How can I enable the SAS chipset driver support during the boot process ? It cannot see my drives, and it seems that AppleLSISomething is not loaded. Something to do/try ? Thanx ! iero.”

“Does Zeph's planning to release a dvd with 10.5.4 and asu ?”

“@zephiroth : Does 10.5.2 have some support dor SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) controler and disks ? I cannot find my disks on a SAS powered computer.. It's a 2 x "dualcore Opteron 2000 series" with a Nvidia FX5500.. and I would be happy to run …”

“[cite] roisoft:Try with .. It works perfectly. Thanx a lot dude ! My box is now completly up and running Great. ps : I will try in another new computer.. More powerfull..”

“It's not a good idea to replace the forcedeth by the one in the wiki : http://osx86.wikidot.com/utilities-resources ? iero.”

“On 10.5.1, I installed EFI, and it's still freezing On both ports..”

“nfoav8or : Do you still have the modified .pkg ? I'm interrested..”

“Just a question : Is it possible to update from zeph's 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 ?”

“Thanx roisoft, I've done that. Now, at reboot, the system freezes at "dsmos: Starting..." The end is not so far away ! Thanx for your help, iero.”

“Ok, I added "10de" in device IDs, but since then, my X freezes 10 seconds after log in… Erk !”

“I have an Nvidia Card which is defined in "System Profiler" as an "0x00cd" and I installed on Zeph's 10.5.1 the last Nvidia Universal Installer. [cite] roisoft:You can try to add the device ID into the info.plist for nvdaresman.kext, geforc…”

“Thanx Putta, I'm sorry, I didn't know ho to do that @eddie11c : Thanx, I'll try that. But last time I tried to add kext with hdiutils, he mounted the disk with _nobody:_nobody, and I wasn't able to change to root:root, and so, I cannot run …”

“Just a question. Do I need to add /System/Library/Extensions/AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext/ to the DVD ? iero.”

“From this url cat eee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/FUSION_SAS.html, it seems that the line need to work ? What do you think ? iero.”

“@ryoken I've found in ./System/Library/Extensions/AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext/Contents/Info.plist : Here are some infos about this chipset found with a linux livecd. we can deduce the ChisetID : 0x2704 ioc0: ProductID = 0x2704 (LSISAS1068E) FWVe…”

“Update : My controler is a LSI Logic® LSISAS1068E 8-port SAS and it still doesn't work with zeph's 10.5.2 install..”

“And from this page techme ssenger.com/Apple-OS-X-Leopard-Adds-Areca-SAS-and-SATA-ll-RAID-controller-071106002.html it seems that the new kernel includes drivers for some SAS controlers ? Hum..”

“I've seen some SAS drivers : atto tech.com/software/files/drivers/osx_drv_esasraid_200.dmg Is there a way to incorporate dmg contents to my 10.5.1 install dvd ? How can I extract files from this dmg ? Any idea ? iero.”

“Same thing for me. I had 16Gb RAM in my box with Linux and I keep 2Gb only with Leopard. No problem since then. iero.”

“Hum, If I boot with "-f" option, it works.. Strange ?”

“I have another screen like that after try to install ALPS (attached shot). Maybe it's not iwi2200 drivers but something else ? Thanx, iero.”

“I tried a kextload AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext It works, but no new disks found and the dmesg gives me nothing new.”

“On the dvd, I can only find "kextcache, kextload and kextunload" !”

“I don't understand. How can I be sure that the AppleLSIFusionMPT kext is loaded when I boot on the dvd ? Is there a sort of modprobe to load it after the boot process ? Thanx, iero.”

“"nfoav8or" is quite more difficult to say than "aero", but now, I understand the aviator I'll keep you informed, but links are down on the pointer you gave me. But there are some clues to dig. I cannot really change the card.. I opened the …”

“yeah, thanx man ! I will give a try in next days ! iero.”
