Dreamland69 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 is intel pro 1000L using patched drivers inside ionetworkingfamily? or its own driver? also have you tried restore network option? thanx for feedback by the way intel pro 1000 L is using patched drivers inside ionetworkingfamily.kext plugins. I added device id (109a) in AppleIntel82....kext plist. Actually ethernet was not working in Jas 10.5.4 Server, ionetworkingfamily.kext I added later.

Mysticus C* Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 boot with -v, and get the screen caps of all the screen shots... i dont know why people love to choose vanilla kernel? it has problems if not used patched additions, and better to choose 9.4.0 xnu instead... also why do you have pcgenusb2 patch? guess it s from kalyway 10.5.2 (which i think done unprofessionally, because it is selected by default, and majority of the people dont have that issue...) use the usb 2.0 fix in the update as well to get rid of pcgenusb problem. have you tried nvinject instead of nvkush...? also check your bios for AHCI (not the IDE Compatible mode) enabled for your sata ports? dreamland: did you try the restore network option in the update package? also is the linked one current working one in 10.5.5?

JustinTD Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Mysticus, a but off topic here but you would seem to be the guy to ask ... If I wanted to follow your guide for creating a test install, but put said install on either another internal HDD or USB HDD, how would I got about gaining access to it? You mentioned you would need the bootloader. Can you use OSX86 Tools to install EFI on said drive and then access it (and in theory, would this also not be an effective way to create a rescue backup so in the event your main system goes down you could use diskutility to restore it)?

Nakai Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'll do try to make a photo of the errors, but the ones i found are stated in my first post. I tried NvInject, but it didnt work for me. I couldnt choose the right resolution, and i had a bad result in xbench. The AHCI is on. And how do i use the usb 2.0 fix if i can't boot?

Mysticus C* Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Here are the pictures: Hope you can see anything on it, my camera isnt that good 1) disable the jmicron controller. and connect your hdds to on-board ICHx controller, if ahci set, system shoudl boot and everything should work... make sure you check these settings next time: Kernel: 9.4.0 StageXnu CHipset: ICHx AHCI Audio: Restore Network: Restore Video: use nvinject/640 mb System func: smbios, macpro, and usb 2 fix khera: if you provide your hardware profile in your signature, and tell us what you have chosen, in last step, we may track down the problem...

Detosx Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Mysticus! You fine and noble fellow. It occurred to me that it might be an idea to pop a text file - with your instructions and possibly a copy of the 63 pages of questions and answers, so far - into your pre post installer folder. A lot of people will be offline when they install and it might save them, and your very good self, some work if they use Search in TextEdit.
