Yes I did, I managed to solve the problem yet I still dont know how.

 

I noticed that until u install 10.5.4 restart is working after 10.5.4 + CHUID.pkg it stops working, the tutorial fix installer did not help. I just intalled all kexts and used PCwiz utility and install his fixes restart and shut down.

 

After a hard reset everything seems to be working fine.

 

I still cant get the microphone or line in working though, that is really bad as I use skype very often

Awsome guide yet again Weaksauce. Have a nice stable fast system but just a couple of things that might be worth putting in the guide/1st post (they have been mentioned in the thread but it is getting very long now and it seems not everyone is reading the whole thread).

 

- If external USB (possibly firewire as well) drives are used they must be ejected before restart or you may get a kernel panic/hang

 

- A link or guide to installing XP AHCI drivers (it seems a lot of people are not aware of the need for this)

Man i understand peoples frustration with this. You don't know how many times I've installed these two os's in the last few days.

 

I downloaded and installed that chameleon you attatched and when I restarted I get:

boot0: MBR

boot0: done

BOOTMGR is missing

Press Ctrl +Alt+Del to restart

 

:(

 

EDIT: FIXED!

 

booted back into the startup disk, ran repair permissions twice and it found a bunch of errors.

When ahead and ran repair disk for the hell of it and it came out OK. Rebooted and went straight into osx

 

My Boot ROM version under System Profiler>hardware is now IM71.007A.B01 (I assume chameleon) where as before it had something to do with V8.0 (when it was pc_efi)

 

Still can't monitor cpu temps with temperature monitor, but all the sound, video, and related issues went away and I still have sleep and restart.

 

PERFECT INSTALL :)

Step 9 of the guide recommends doing a repair of permissions, but it's very easy to overlook.

Stella mentioned that Pystar has released an awesome new kext:

 

http://www.psystar.com/openhaltrestart.html

 

Eliminates the need for CHUD & the Shutdown kext, and works much faster too :blink:

 

Also, 10.5.5 is out and I'm testing it today. This is perfect as I'm just about wrapped up with the next guide update! Then I can move on to the Time Capsule tutorial and some other goodies :(

Weaksauce do you know anything about dual booting? I'm wondering there's a way to dual boot with guid? I couldn't get dual boot to work with guid as the repair function in vista would never work, but once I switched to mbr on all partitions it worked fine.

(I formatted via osx install, installed vista, installed osx, flagged osx via booting dvd in single user mode, flagged vista once in osx, repaired via vista install gui on dvd, then flagged back to leaopard in single user mode again.)

 

Also do you know if there's a way to boot two separate hard drives so that osx is the default? i think vmware would work faster this way.)

 

If not that's cool, but this guide was so well written and up to date that I think you would have a better show than most at including a good dual boot guide.

Do you mean to say that we should uninstall chud and install pystar kext?

 

how do we go about doing that? How to uninstall chud and install this pystar, or do we not need to worry about uninstalling chud and just should install pystar on top of it now? Thanks...

 

I have ALMOST perfect install, but restart does not work, after either 10.5.4 delta update or after doing the minor updates of small programs.. Will request for help later.

 

JUST NOW, installed pystar's kext and RESTART IS WORKING BOYS. :) Voila..

I have a setup almost exactly the same as the Op's.

 

I have the same mother board, and GFX card, but when I reboot I am greeted with a black screen.

 

The system is obviously still working, the HDD light is flashing, I hear disk activity. I just have no picture.

 

After the apple screen, or verbose loading, the monitor turns off (I'm assuming the driver is starting) but when it turns back on, I have no video. At all.

 

Any suggestions?

Btw weaksauce, I found that when delaying from sleep there isn't just a delay in the network resume on my system. There is no resume at all.

 

The workaround is just setting a static IP, (always a good idea) but i'm curious why it never refreshes my network?

 

Next install I'm going to leave the stock ethernet drivers that install and see if that's any different.

I deteled CHUD and all shutdown fixes and installed new KEXT! Now after press restart screen goes black and nothing happens nothing restarts!!!!!!

 

I freshly install 10.5.5 retail using 132 method. The psytar kext does nada to fix the shutdown. I had torevert back to CHUD method. Works beautifully!

Hi guys!

Several weeks ago ive recieved a call from my friend asking me witch motherboard is on my system cause theres some awesome tutorial about how to build a hackitosh!

He wanted to test it and install OSX! I was excited to see OSX in action!

Last September Ive bought a brand new PC with GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L REV 1.0 motherboard (at that time there was only rev 1.0)

E6750 CPU

2GB Transcend 800mhz RAM

WD 320GB

PIONEER 111D IDE

GIGABYTE NV 8600GT

 

We did step by step as weaksauce wrote in his tutorial!

Everything is working just fine! Tnx weaksauce!!!

 

In the beginning, since this is my first time with OSX, I was pretty confused with the user interface and everything about OSX! Since then I was native windows user. But now, after a month of successful "getin used to" Im usin windows only for on line banking. And Im bootin virtual machine from parallels desktop! A funny thing happened though, after parallels installation was finished on board LAN witch was not previously been disabled from BIOS, suddenly decides to work properly in his full gigabit spirit!

 

So theres some feedback on P35-DS3L REV 1.0 - Tested, working!

Yeah I think I'm going to switch over the Boot-132 method in pretty short order here.

 

I also have an EFI-X chip on the way and will be testing it (hopefully) this weekend. The DS3L isn't officially supported, but that's only because it has an 888 sound chip instead of 889, so you have to install the sound patch post-install and possibly re-install with each point update. Small price to pay, methinks.

Interesting! Please keep us posted with the EFI-X chips. So far, I am still able to boot the Boot-132, install retail Leopard 10.5.1, the upgrade to 10.5.5. I use, the updated, modded kext's for 10.5.5 though. My ATI driver, has to be installed before the combo update though ( the new graphic library framework does not work with the old ATI drivers). Then, re-install back up from Time Machine. Everything works so far

Thanks weaksauce for a great guide! I finally got all my pieces, pretty much, and got it up and running. So far I am SUPER happy with it! The only frustration I have at the moment is the Mic does not work and I cannot seem to get OS X to recognize my Sata Controllers. They are Silicon Image 3114 cards. When booting they are recognized and named during the startup process, but OS X will not recognize them.

 

Any ideas for fixing the Mic and/or these Sata controller cards?

 

Thanks again for all your help.

Can anyone suggest if they believe the boot 132 or kalyway (using weaksauces guide) method seem the most stable on this board? I have looked into boot-132 method after weaksauces post (yes i have no life I just troll these forums -_- ) and it has been suggested that on other boards it is more stable and snappier than kalyway.

weaksauce,

 

thanks so much for the guide. I've gotten further than ever before, but after step 6 (installation of audio & video drivers), my leo hangs at this screen and cannot get any further. What is this screen called? It comes after the "blue screen".

 

Prior to installing the audio or video drivers, I could at least get to the Finder.

 

post-288999-1221711693_thumb.jpg

 

I did not reboot after installing audio, so I am not sure which is the cause of the problem. is it possible to reverse step # 6? or are there better alternative solutions?

 

The other thing I noticed was that I cannot boot directly from the ext USB HD which is where I have installed OS X to. If I try to, I get a "BOOTMGR is missing, press CTRL ALT DEL" message. I've been able to boot only when the Kalyway 10.5.2 disc in my dvd drive. I have tried disabling AHCI in the BIOS.

 

Q6600

4GB DDR2-800 (2GB x 2)

Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L rev 1.0 (F4 BIOS)

Corsair VX550W

Inno 3D Nvidia 7800GTX (I think it's 256MB - I selected "vanilla" for NVInstaller)

Samsung 2.5" 80GB HD in ext USB enclosure (OS X is installed here)

W.D. Raptor 34GB

Seagate 500GB SATA

Hitachi 160GB PATA

Asus DVD-RW PATA

 

 

Thanks again! I've installed Leopard soooooooo many times within the past 24 hours, hoping this time I can stay with it for longer than 2 hours!!

 

PS. If you think I'll have better luck buying a small internal SATA drive (160gb) instead of ext usb, I'll try that.

 

Edit - I think I managed to get back into my USB installation. Booted off Kalyway and used "-F rd=disk4s2". But I'm not sure what to do now..

 

Edit2 - managed to delete the video drivers in /System/Library/Extensions/Ge* and Nv* files... I'm back in Leopard without safe mode, so I guess I need to do more research on how to get the video working.
