Anyone have any ideas? This is getting outrageous. I just bought a new GPU because of panics like this from the old one (ATI based before, now Nvidia 8800GTS). I know it looks like its GPU related, but it CAN'T be... this is a fresh reinstall following weaksauce's guide. To install my GPU i simply selected the EFI strings from UInstaller.

Notes: 10.5.6, kexts for audio + ethernet installed. Have disabled audio and network in bios to see if it makes a difference... but it usually takes 12-24 hours for a panic to happen, so I won't know for certain that this was successful for about 30 hours.

Time Machine woes. Figured I'd better ask here before I mess up anything further.

 

Had a perfect 10.5.5 Leopard Soup 2.0 hack. Office mate unplugged it while I was working. Time machine stopped working. Said it couldn't find the disk.

 

Decided to update to 10.5.6 to try to fix issue since it was mentioned in release notes. Combo update went fine. Reapplied kext package, and audio. But Time machine still does not work.

 

Error is different though: "Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found."

 

There are various fixes posted around forum, but I prefer something Weaksauce Approved. Any ideas?

Status Update:

 

Good news! The new DS3L package is finalized. It replaces OpenHaltRestart from Psystar with VoodooPower from SuperHai (extra power savings). There are now 4 plugins:

 

1. DS3L - Full

2. DS3L - No Networking

3. DS3L - No Audio

4. DS3L - No Networking, No Audio

 

This way, if you want to use a separate network card or sound card, you don't have to disassemble the plugin or dump the Mkext and rebuild it yourself. I am once again recommending a PCI network card (I like the $10.99 Encore Gigabit model) and a separate sound card (I like the $7.99 Syba USB stereo sound card). Neither are necessary, but due to driver bugs I recommend them for optimum system performance. The onboard network card works 100% thanks to the R1000 driver from Psystar, but it takes about 15 seconds to wake from sleep (this is annoying to me; I prefer instant wake for both the system and network, but this may not bug everyone haha). The onboard sound card also works (both analog 2.1 and digital 5.1), but there are underlying driver errors and can cause shutdown to take awhile (tries to kill the driver about 50 times before shutting down the system; boot with -v and then shutdown to see what I'm talking about).

 

The next part is documentation. I'm finalizing the Wiki for the DS3L & UD3P boards and will start new threads for both when it's ready. The hard work is done, so it's just a matter of transferring the rest of the PDF guide to the Wiki and updating it with the latest instructions. Look for this coming Saturday for a full release (now that the hard work is done, I can say that with some confidence, haha).

 

weaksauce12,

Did you come out with a new package (multi-option) for the UD3P?

I used the 2.0 Leopard Soup guide and it worked great! A very important item was making sure plugging the sata cables into ports 1 & 2. Before that I could not get the retail installer loaded.

 

One problem now though. I have a periodic hang in my mouse that lasts for 2-3 seconds and then it resumes normal operation. This seems to happen about every 60-90 seconds. I did not recall this behavior initially after the install, I only noticed it after I may have accidentally installed the kext's for the onboard network and audio.

 

I am running a PCI network card with the onboard network card disabled. For sound I plan to install one of the recommended sound cards. I did the complete install and everything seemed to work fine. This morning I was having some video issues, so I attempted to replace my eVga 512MB 8800GT with a eVga 512MB 8400GS. (this did not cure my video issues though) So I replaced the video with the original 8800GT, and in the process of using UInstaller to update the video, I inadvertently left the motherboard package set to P35-DS3L Full, I am fearful that this installed the network and audio kext's that I did not want.

 

So, would this mistake install the kexts for audio and network? The only option selected was to install EFI Strings to the video.

 

If not, any idea what may cause my mouse to periodically hang?

 

One last item, a tip actually. The video problem that I had this morning was the the monitor would come up solid blue when waking up and I was unable to do anything. I noticed that on wake up that the screen would display the desktop for a fraction of a second before going blue, which indicated that the machine was not hanging up. I discovered that by moving my video connection on the card to the other connection that everything worked perfectly. So, if you have multiple video connections on your card, and you see the blue screen, you may want to try the other port.

 

Thanks for a great guide weaksauce!

Velociraptor 300GB

Twin 1T 7200 Drives

 

This thing flies along nicely with OS X!

Hi all. Not to upset anyone or take weaksauce for granted for all the hardwork he's put into this project but is it worth it to move on over to the Boot 132 from an amazing Leopard 1.0 setup? I so want to but i've ben stalking the forums for the past month since this new method has launched and it seems like there are still alot of bugs to work out.

 

Weaksauce, your first guide had all the updated info right in the first page that made it easy to jump in at any time knowing that that guide was always the latest. Do you plan on doing the same with this guide? :(

My system is 10.5.2 coming from:

 

Kalyway 10.5.1 + Vanilla Kernel

Kalyway 10.5.2 ComboUpdate and Graphic Patch

 

 

And shutdown doesn't work for me.

Since I already selected vanilla kernel during installation, is there any way switch to the sleep kernel??

I haven't used Kalyway in a long time, but from what I remember, as long as you installed other kernels during installation you can specify which one to use during boot up as a boot option. I think the instructions are right there in his notes during install. If you didn't install them originally, I'm not sure how you can get them on there, but there probably is a way. Sorry, that's all I know.

Here a great success story! After months of working and buying new parts I have everything working thanks to the Leopard Soup 2.0

 

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

500Gb SATA

1TB SATA

PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard

Nvidia 8600GT with Dual LCD Diplay

8GB Ram

2 DVD Burners

Retail Leopard 10.5.6

 

Everything works perfectly! I used all the motherboard hardware and did'nt buy any new sound of NIC cards. I have not done any system testing or anything like that but sleep, restart, and shutdown works fine for me! Thanks for the sweet ass guide! :):superman:

weaksauce12, please explain me this more carefully (I read in your guide):

 

LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext: Allows the system to be run in IDE mode (such as if you’re

running Windows and it requires it). Note that this does not allow IDE drives to be used.

 

I use two SATA HDD and one IDE DVD-RW. Each SATA HDD work in AHCI. In my case, LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA is needed ? In other words.. I need to install LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA ?

 

thanks

The LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA allows your computer to run in "IDE" mode (which is a legacy way of communication with IDE drives). Because Windows XP doesn't support AHCI reading OOB (you need some registry key modifying or floopy drive installing), if you have XP, you can't boot it in AHCI mode. Therefore, LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext allows OSX to communicate with the HDD in IDE mode.

 

You need JMicron.kext (posted earlier in this thread) to actually run that DVD drive.

I followed this guide to update to 10.5.4.

PowerFix.pkg within the tutorial package fixed my shutdown problem.

 

However, upgrading to 10.5.4 broke my PS2 keyboard and mouse.

I followed the link on the first page and updated a kext file to fix the problem.

Thanks for this guide!

Hmm. Well, I'm doing a re-install and decided to use the new p35-ds3l package posted a few pages ago. Now the old method, complete with .pdf guide, etc, worked fine, but when I try a new install and use the p35-ds3l ALL package, I reboot and it just sits there with the timer spinning. What is the latest guide and newest ds3l package? I must be doing something wrong or out of order this time around, the old guide worked fine...

I am using the retail install with Boot-132 with weaksauce12's P35-ds3l iso (my board is the EP35-DS3L). I went ahead and installed the 10.5.6 update (using the combo updater) from 10.5.5 and found that I got a KP after rebooting. I tried flushing the caches but still had a KP during boot. As far as I can see (verbose mode) it is the kernel itself that was doing the KP. Eventually I copied back the previous (10.5.5) mach_kernel (thanks to TimeMachine) and it now seems to boot fine, and otherwise 10.5.6 looks OK. So it seems like it was the updated kernel that was the problem.

 

Is there something I missed in the update that I should have done? Is this the DSDT thing, or some other issue that causes the KP I am seeing? So far I have not made any other changes aside from the 10.5.6 combo updater.

OK im having an issue and this happens after all the updates. Booting goes fine but when i come to the log-in the screen just stays in blue colour, and there is no beach ball of death because i can see the mouse cursor its just that the screen appears in blue with nothing else on it and there is no way for me to log-in.

 

I think this must be due to the 2009 update..

 

Any help on this??

I've had this problem, when I sleep my machine, and wake it, all of my usb devices and connected servers are unattached. The usb devices reattach fine, but I get the device removal error everytime I wake up.

 

Any solution :unsure:

Use these patched IOUSBFamily.kexts:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...200#entry828818

 

They fixed all USB-related problems for me using a P35 (ICH9) based board.

 

Doesn't work for P45 (ICH10) based boards, though.

Little bit off topic, but speaking of usb issues... i am having the WEIRDEST problem.

 

When i plug a usb flash drive into the front usb ports that are attached on the header of the motherboard, I loose all video/usb but not power. Since i can see anything i have no details, but from what i can tell all usb ports no longer work and no disaply to either of the ports on my Zotac 7300GT.

 

I've been having to manually power down and reboot. At one point it would work the first time I plugged it in. I would then unmount it and on the second plug in, it would freak out.

 

I know most of the people following this thread are familair with this board, so i'm hoping for the best.

It really sounds like you have an internal connector plugged in wrong somewhere. Given what you describe I would first guess the USB header you plugged in for the front USB port is reversed or possibly mismatched by one row of pins. Have a close look at the Gigabyte manual for the MB and the USB plug for your case USB connection.
