Help, guys! I just updated my 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 by AMD Patcher 0.3 and I can no longer mount Diskimage and USB drives even after I replaced the System.kext and Seabelt.kext from 10.5.5. I use iATKOS 4a w/ ToH 9.2.0 kernel, I discovered…

When loading Darwin, my system automatically reboots itself, and it can not even get to the installer screen. Is this a problem related to EFI? I have another HDD for Leopard (IDE) and two IDE DVD-roms, for installation I disconnected all…

My bro's box wanna Graphic update, after my research, it seems that HD 4870 (sapphire tech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=245&grp=3) is more powerful as it goes with the newest Mac Pro, but 9800 GTX (xfxf…

I have installed Leopard 10.5.1 for AMD v1 and installed the natit.kext ,everything works out of the box except that Camino will lag behind very slowly when I scroll some web pages, especially when pages are full of flashes or QuickTime…

“OOps zephyroth…the new image did the same trick by endless reboot loop while installing from DVD once again...Could you please tell me why?Or the hardware did NOT support? Tho,really appreciate you kind and hard work! Regards & Thanx! Kael”

“@ pokertamz, You may have to change your SATA HDD to an IDE one, my friend once had the same problem and we solved it by changing the IDE drive,sometimes NForce chip may NOT work with SATA HDD. Wish it can help you! Good Luck! Reagrds! Kael…”

“WOW----the same result!Endless reboot loop…do I have to rebuild my Leopard?Or there are some trick? Here is my command log: kael-computer:~ root# cd /efi kael-computer:/efi root# diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: type name size identifier 0: FDis…”

“Thanx eddie11c, I will try your new solution later,but tell me if I get endless reboot loop again,how can I uninstall EFI ?And I must tell you that the disk ID of Leopard is different in Tiger (Last time as I remember it is disk0s1,and It k…”

“Thanx for your quick reply!eddie11c,but I have tried for >6 times to get EFI installed and nope---after the line "System/Librarry/Entensions.mkexts from 4XXXXX" ect,I got automatically reboot,so I wander that's the fault of my BIOS.I use Ac…”

“Many guys had complainted the same issue on iATKOS DVD about endless reboot (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77488&st=0&start=0) And I found NO NX/XD Options in my BIOS as ntkas.org has states here: (http://netkas.org/?p=8)…”

“OK, I will try to do it at once and report later! Thanx & Regards! Kael”

“@eddie11c and Zephyroth, Really thanx for all your replise! So, if it related to the kernel in the v2 DVD,is it possible to create a new iso by replacing the kernel in the v2 DVD with the kernel from the DVD v1(Yes,DVD 10.5.1 really works p…”

“Thanx for your reply!Yes I just followed wikidot.com's instructions and installed EFI by DVD's Terminal even by my Tiger an I have tried for more than 5 times --everytime I have to rebuild my Leopard,but the result is the same--automaticaly…”

“@eddie11c, Can you tell me is there anyway to install the 9.20 kernel without EFI cos EFI makes my Spec reboot without a sign? I notice PC reboot at the line "System/Library/Extensions.mkext" when hitting -v at the very beginning after inse…”

“Same issue here,I have got the endless reboot loop as you,though I have the poor Sempron 2800+,I begin to think it the fault of Geforce 6XXX(Mine is 6600 256Mb) Kael”

“naquaada, I have the same question, please tell me which brand is best for ATi4870? Sapphire supposed to be the best on the market? And after installation of the driver,what must be done?Does it need OpenCL or other packages from 10.5.7 bet…”

“If you can not use IDE,you can try to download Tiger 10.4.9 v3 by uphuck team,it is universal one fit AMD and Intel and the disk utility of it may solve your problem.”

“@althon, If so,there is no need to upgrade to 10.5.2?--Zephyroth's v1 works perfectly with my machine. Kael”

“Do you mean you patched the iATKOS' iso and installed the PC EFI? And do you get 10.5.2 system update? How? [cite] splinter182:perhaps lol time for an upgrade i guess. also i tried the iATKOS disk with the amd patch and that did boot.”

“Maybe that's because our pity Semprons do NOT support PC EFI?Can some Gurus here confirm it ? Zephyroth,please,tell us why,Thanx a million!”

“apreichner , Hi, maybe you have to repartition all your two IDE HDD, cos perhaps the partition maps are corrupted or you have compressed volumes in both IDEs? If so save all your precious data and delete the compressed partitions or whole d…”
