OFFTOPIC... twistedmelon OSX USB IR receiver NOW 3$ wordwide shipping The new method is a different approach and uses BOOT-132. I have some custom DSDT files, built specifically for the DS3L, as well as special DS3L kexts. You can, of course, mod the kit to do whatever you want. A Developer's Guide will be released soon as well That will cover more about how to customize an installation using PCWiz's new Universal Installer tool, as well as include a ton of development tools. If you're willing to do some legwork by testing kexts for your specific board, you can build your own plugin (and even guide) pretty easily. Also the Mantra IR receiver from Twisted Melon is awesome, love mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Figured out the last 2 bugs, just in time! After installing the 10.5.5 Combo Update, there is a certain Security Update called "2008-007" that doesn't play nice with the R1000 Ethernet driver and with the AppleSMBIOSEFI driver (it disables AFP/Bonjour if the R1000 kext is bundled inside the Extensions.mkext file in the Extras folder, and causes the AppleSMBIOSEFI kext to fail to load properly). The solution is twofold: 1. Install these kexts after the "2008-008" Security Update 2. Install these kexts to /System/Library/Extensions rather than inside the Extensions.mkext file Simple change in procedure for the tutorial.

Tikakan Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hello Weaksauce, Thankyou for the tutorial, I used it to build my Quad G5 replacement (it just died 3 weeks ago :/) anyways: I used a bit different configuration: Ga-Ep45-DS3R Mobo e8400 CPU 2x2048 MB Aeneoen DDr2800 Palit Gforce 9800 GTX+ 512MB gfxcard Samsung Spinpoint F1 1 TB HDD Pioneer SATA DVR216DBK DVD Burner It worked almost out of the box (the DVD didnt boot of the DVD in AHCI Mode! had to plug it into Sata4 port to work) So what did I do: Partitioned the HD into 4 partitions: /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *931.5 Gi disk0 1: Windows_NTFS Windoze 244.1 Gi disk0s1 2: Linux 9.8 Gi disk0s2 3: Apple_HFS Macintosh 244.1 Gi disk0s3 4: Apple_HFS data 433.5 Gi disk0s4 I installed first Windows, then Os X and as last system Linux. I planned on using my retail Leopard install in the Macintosh partition but, I forgot I need to install it on a _real_ HDD and not in a Partition Upgraded Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 using your guide, then used this Guide to update it to 10.5.5 (my Ethernet didnt break as I installed the security update 2008-7) now it runs like a charm Guess, I ll can the retailinstallation and merge the Macintosh and the data partition as last step. I will backup my install as a diskimage first though! Take care, tikakan Edit: DHCP renew doesnt work right after sleep. ( I got terminal open all the time anyway... so a renew is fast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Lets get this thing released Package is done. Right now I'm doing some screen recordings in Leopard with ScreenFlow to show you how to use the software. It's pretty easy, but it's much easier to show and explain how to do it on video, than it is to read through page after page of instructions on how to use it. I've got a programming class final exam today so it might not be posted until really late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Good luck with the Exam Weaksauce. Looking forward to your program Hehe thanks. I probably should have picked a different day to release this The ScreenFlow videos will take awhile to encode, they're 720p in h.264 format, then I'll start stitching things together. Awful lot of work for a simple video tutorial lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslieking Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sorry but I don't know which kexts I need to use. I use the EP35-DS3L motherboard with built-in ethernet & audio. Also, I need to know the BIOS settings. In other word, how to configure the F5 bios for Boot 132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
