For anyone who can get the DVD to boot but it stalls at the grey screen with the logo OR at the Leopard Wallpaper with the beach ball cursor, try to use the Boot CD from this post... It worked for me and installed in 15 minutes!!!

Okay if anyone can help me on this matter, I would greatly appreciate it...

 

First off I'm somewhat of a newbie with the whole hackintosh, and i have read many setups to do so... I decided to go with the boot 132 (grub dfe.iso) version and retail DVD 10.5.6

 

Good news, I was able to follow half of the setup with the swapping of boot 132 and retail DVD. I've gotten the DVD installed onto my HD (GUID partition) and i rebooted with the boot 132 still...

 

now from my understanding, the 2nd half of the setup is to get Chameleon DFE for hard disk downloaded and then open up initrd.img file from inside the boot 132 disk, look for the 'EXTRA' folder and drag that to the 'EXTRA CONTENTS' folder on the chameleon DFE for hard disk...which i was able to do so..however my problem lies after this procedure-

 

once I'd drag my extension files to chameleon and attempted to boot the system without the boot CD, I get the "no boot device detected- insert boot disk and press any key" error

 

I was curious about the extended files I added to chameleon, and found 4 kext files-

 

ACPIPS2Nub.kext

dsmos.kext

IntelCPUMDisabler.kext

SMBIOSEnabler.kext

 

am i missing a step here??? are there more and/or specific kexts that i need to add for my mobo ??

 

please enlighten me on this matter..

 

list of my hardware:

 

d975xbx2kr (bad axe 2)

q6600 cpu

8gb ram

asus nvidia en7300GT silent 256MB

Hello!

 

My machine is a Dell XPS M1210....I'm a semi-noob...hoping that you can help. Currently I am running iAtkos 10.5.5 on my machine and purchased 10.5.6 in hopes of doing a retail install.

 

The sad thing is that I'm not certain specifically what my motherboard is...the code on the spec sheet for my Dell is NP831Processor, T5600, 1.83, 2MB Napa Refresh Merom, LONSDALE/LAVACA...

 

I was considering one of the Boot 132 options D945 GLF2 pack because it semi resembles the kext packages/patch makeups that I've had to use in my Kalyway dayz....

 

I have 4gb ram installed, 300gb hd partitioned XP/Ubuntu/MacOSx...do i have to wipe out my hd completely or would I be able to do the retail install on a 100gb unused partition?

 

so sorry for the deluge of questions...i just want to do a retail install so that I can do updates with the retail install...i feel like "so close and yet so far"

 

Thank you SO much for any help or advice u can provide

[flipinfin]

Does this ISO contain the dsmos.kext file?

[cespa]

Please someone can you help?? I am totally lost.

 

I have a DP35DP, Intel Core2Duo E4600, 4gb DDR2-800, GeForce 8600GT 1GB RAM, 2 SATA and 1 IDE hard drive, 1 combo and 1 Double Layer DVD Writer. I'm using onboard sound card.

 

The problem is that:

I burned the Boot132 for DP35DP from the above link. When I run it, my system said something like

ISOLinux 3.6.3 ...

Found Something at drive = 91

Found something at drive = 90

Image checksum error, sorry

Boot failed: press a key to retry

 

Pressing any key will not go any further.

 

Then I burned the original Boot 132 ISO.

 

Now Darwin boot up, and I can see

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132_dfe_r145_Chameleon_pre

4027Mb memory

VESA v3.0 14MB (NVIDIA)

 

Typical boot devices are 80 (First HD), 81 (Second HD)

Enter two-digit hexademical boot device [81]:

 

After I typed 81, it hows the same heding and one hd - hd(1,1)

 

What I'm expecting to see is something about Darwin but instead it has only one line saying 'Press Enter to start up the foreign OS.'

 

What have I done wrong or missed? I have pretty much read the whole insanelymac forum but I seem to be the only one in this world to have these problem.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

[Eye1]

Had the same problem..

 

Try hitting ENTER, and not specifying 80 or 81

[cespa]

Had the same problem..

 

Try hitting ENTER, and not specifying 80 or 81

 

Tried hitting ENTER without specifying 80 or 81, also tried any numbers from 00-99. They went straight back to the boot: prompt.

 

Did you solve the problem by just hitting ENTER?

[gucciswiss]

David Eliott has just released a new version of his modified boot-132 bootloader.

One of the new things it can do is to load kexts from an .img file which contains kexts (or even an mkext) and boot Leo.

That means you can have two mkexts, one folder with kexts on the .img file and the folder with kexts from your installed system

or even two folders with mkexts.

How does it work?

 

Basically, you create a flat dmg with the kexts in a folder and the bootloader will load them for you. This means quite a lot;

you can boot from a retail Leo DVD and install it, you can update straight from apple, you can reinstall and not have to add

the same kexts to your install every time. The bootloader behaves like the linux kernel: you can use an mboot (a patched syslinux

was used) compatible bootloader which tells to boot-dfe about the .img file (the ramdisk or initrd, as it's known by the linux users)

and boot-dfe is going to use the kexts (or mkext) from it.

What does it do?

 

This new boot-dfe has been tested with the retail Leopard DVD and it can boot, install and run Leopard without having to build

a modified DVD.

 

Infos about hardware:

 

[OFF]: Vanilla = Original Mac OS X DVD or Mac OS X Installation with running original mach_kernel.

 

AMD systemz isn't supported.

To use Mac OS X Vanilla DVD needs a Intel "Mac" closer systemz, like a Intel Core processos and Intel Chipset. This is only combination supported by "Vanilla Installz", other processors and chipsets isn't supported by "Mac OS X Vanilla systemz"

 

You *can* boot and install retail on any SSE2 or better Intel pre-Core architecture systems, but you wont be using the vanilla kernel. See below for link

 

This is how it's done: you burn an ISO (which has the bootloader on it) to a CD/DVD, after it gets to the boot

prompt, you press ESC or ENTER and it prompts for a new BOOT DEVICE, you swap the BOOT CD/DVD with the LEO Retail DVD, you press

enter and it shows you the name of the bootable partition from the DVD, you press enter and Leo starts to load.

 

Quick resume about "oh, what to do now?"

 

#1 - Burn .iso on a CD;

#2 - Boot this CD;

#3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Leopard Retail DVD;

#4 - Press enter (or -v and enter...wherever...)

#5 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files.

#6 - Done!

 

For the time being, you cannot have this bootloader on an USB stick and have it boot the Retail Leopard DVD. The reason why this

happens is related to the way the BIOS handles DVDs and optical media: there's no BOOT DEVICE associated with an optical drive

which the BIOS has not booted from. Basically, this is like the disk swap trick known to the PlayStation gamers.

You can already put this on an USB stick/CD/DVD and boot a vanilla install (vanilla= no added kext, no replaced kext on the partition).

 

As usual, this only works for compatible machines(that means you still can't boot a vanilla system on AMD, they need specialised patches).

 

What are you going to do in the future?

 

David Eliott said he'd merge some of the things from Chameleon into boot-dfe. Those involved in the development of Chameleon will merge

the support for ramdisks into Chameleon and more effort will go into making the distribution 100% legal.

Work might(read: should, in the very close future) also go into making Chameleon boot the Retail DVDs when loading the bootloader from the HDD.

 

User guide and link to the ISO

 

This ISO needs to be modded (add dsmos to the Extensions folder) in order to be able to boot Leo.

 

Credits for this go to:

 

David Eliott: for modding boot to allow us to boot from Retail Leopard DVDs;

 

Kabyl: for modding boot to allow the usage of a separate folder on the disk and merging features from Chameleon to boot-dfe-146;

Cheerz,

 

Can anyone provide these instruction in a simple format. I have used the boot-132 iso here. I am able to boot and then i put my Retail Mac OS X DVD in and it shows me "Loading Darwin/x86" and then i get a kernel crash error i.e. Virtual machine Kernel Stack fault (hardware reset). I am not sure why this is not working.

 

Thanks and please advise

[CKyle]

Hey. I tried to do this with the generic ISO (BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.iso) but it didn't work because I needed the Voodoo Kernel and my driver .kexts.

 

But I do not know how to make a Boot 132 disc from within windows. The one in the thread is a shell script for OSX. I just wanna know how to do all this from within Windows. I know its maybe the most n00best question ever but I am seriously and completely at a loss here.

 

Someone, please help. If you want any more derails, just ask.

[nomis66]

Hi Guys,

 

Although I'm a long-time Mac User (Mainly Logic and Photoshop) I'm totally new to the Hackint0sh area so please bare with me. I've just recently finished my Hackint0sh build (See specs below) and what Dave has done here seems like a really good way of doing things as I can use my retail Leopard disks and also update my OS through Software Update (If my understanding is right)

 

I've downloaded the .ISO (noobs try this first) and used Disk Utility to burn it CD. The only problem is that when I try to boot I'm taken to a screen (SEE PIC 1) asking me to identify the boot device with a two digit hexadecimal number (I thought hexadecimals contained six digits). Anyways, I'm pretty sure I've tried all the combinations from 00 to 99 and ee, aa, dd, ect. for good measure. The field will only accept two digits or letters. Although the screen hints at 80 and 81, neither of these seem to work.

 

 

No matter which numbers/letters I enter in the first screen, on pressing Enter I'm taken to the second screen (SEE PIC 2). Pressing Enter on this screen just returns me to the first screen. Although I'm able to enter "-v" or "?" at the boot: when I press Enter nothing happens.

 

 

Before reading about this method, I also tried iDeneb, iPc and Kalyway all wit no success. See previous post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1181892

I did get to the screen showing the Apple logo with iDeneb but that was followed by the NO ENTRY symbol. With iPC I was taken to "Screen 2" where I couldn't enter any data. With Kalyway I reached a very hopeful-looking screen full of code, but it just hung and didn't wouldn't respond to any input. Lastly I did try a modified BIOS ,ROM which I was told was tailored to make iDeneb run on the ASUS P5Q (like mine) but was given the message: "the ROM file was older than the existing board"

 

I don't have any experience of coding (outside of html) and I no nothing about PCs (until a few days ago hadn't even heard of BIOS).

 

P.S. To cap everything, the little ball on my Mighty Mouse has just died. I'm just waiting for my girlfriend to leave me and my dog to drop dead and I should be well on my way to the seventh circle of hell lol.

 

Seriously though, someone please help me.

Please go to this thread:-

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=144020

 

EDIT: This what you should do:-

#1 - Burn .iso (Boot-132) on a CD;

#2 - Boot this CD (Boot-132);

#3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD (Boot-132) and put Mac OS X Leopard Retail DVD;

#4 - Press enter (or -v and enter...wherever...)

#5 - After install, boot using CD (Boot-132) to boot your newly installed Mac OS X

But still you need to put the required kext for your motherboard in Boot-132 CD. To do that, visit above thread.

Cheers Guys,

 

The problem is that putting in ef and typing Enter just takes me back to the previous screen.

 

Will adding these Kexts stop this happening? bare in mind that it is at #2 - Boot this CD (Boot-132); I'm unable to boot.

 

Anyway I will read through the linked article really carefully and try one step at a time.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Just to clarify problem:

 

F8 to boot from the ROM drive. The boot procedure runs as per normal but a screen pop up saying:

 

Darwin/x86 boot v.0.123_dfe_r146_Chameleon_pre

4095MB memory

VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)

 

Press Enter to start up Darwin/x86 with no options, or you can:

 

Type -v and press Enter to start up with diagnostic messages

Type ? and press Enter to learn about advanced startup options

 

boot:_

 

If I just press Enter or if I type -v, ? or anything and then press Enter I'm then taken to this screen:

 

Darwin/x86 boot v.0.123_dfe_r146_Chameleon_pre

4095MB memory

VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)

 

Typical boot devices are 80 (First HD), 81 (Second HD)

Enter two-digit hexadecimal boot device [ef]:_

 

If I then enter the letters ef or 80 or 81 or in fact any numbers from 00 to 99 and then press Enter I'm returned to the first screen showing boot:_

 

So basically I'm just going round and round in circles. Back and forth between the two screens.

 

Any ideas?

Just want to clarify. After you see this message:-

4095MB memory

Press Enter to start up Darwin/x86 with no options, or you can:

did you switch the Boot-132 CD with Mac OS X DVD? And after you switch the CD & press enter, it just prompt this message?:-

Darwin/x86 boot v.0.123_dfe_r146_Chameleon_pre
 4095MB memory

Hey Guys,

 

I AM A TOTAL TOTAL IDIOT

 

I didn't realize that the disks had to be swapped over at that point. So here's the scenario so far:

 

1) I've flashed my BIOS using JUZZI's 1702 modded BIOs for the ASUS P5Q Deluxe (Seems to have worked)

 

2) Booted from David Elliot's modified Boot-123 Disk.

 

3) At "boot_" swapped over to (shop bought) Leopard Retail Disk.

 

4) Booted with "-v" and using hexadecimal "ef".

 

5) I get the gray Apple logo screen with timer. Then it goes to the "Exploding Star" wallpaper with spinning beach ball.

 

6) Went away to get cup of tea and dig out Logic Studio install disks. Returned an hour later to find beach ball still spinning???????

[nomis66]

By-the-way,

 

Should I be adding anything to the extensions folder of Boot-123? I guess if I do, then I'd need to use Disk Utility or Toast to create another mountable disk image?

 

At the moment the extensions folder contains:

 

ACPIPS2Nub.kext

 

ApplePS2Controller.kext

 

IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext

 

SMBIOSEnabler.kext

 

P.S.

I also tried the process but instead of using -v I used -v -f ,It also lead to the spinning beach ball of death but it it first displayed pages and pages of code containing the word "FAILED" quite a few time.

 

P.P.S.

As an experiment I inserted an IDeneb (v1.4 10.5.6) boot disk instead of the Leopard Retail. It installed successfully but seems to have very poor functionality. ON first looks:

 

1) Screen resolution can't be changed.

2) Files can't be unzipped.

3) VLC doesn't work

4) Probably lots of other things....

 

Even if i were able to fix these I think it would be infinitely preferable to have a retail OS that could be updated via Software Update.

 

P.P.P.S.

 

I don't have Windows on this (or any) machine

[kizwan]

...............

Yes, you need to add other kexts for your P5Q motherboard. Compare the content of your Boot-132 CD with the content of Boot-132 USB from the other thread (the one I posted earlier). Dump your Boot-132 CD to .iso format and change the content of initrd.img. You can do this in iDeneb.

 

EDIT: Please read post #1173 how to generate your own Boot-132 CD with your own kexts in initrd.img.

[nomis66]

God! This is a really steep learning-curve for someone who's spent the last twenty years just getting up, turning on the Mac and doing the stuff (

 

I'm gonna have another crack at this tomorrow once my brain cells have stopped trying to kick their way out of my cranium. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks guys for being patient with me.

 

In the mean time I have to say that I can feel the EFiX thang drawing me over to the dark side. I received a PM from one of the mods today, and I quote:

"Hi, just replying to your post. See this. With the new firmware update there is support for new motherboards. We will know what they are very shortly when the HCL is updated, so in essence... the "Why only Gigabyte motherboards?" question is no longer valid. Thank you."

 

I also hear that just by flashing the BIOS, EFiX can be made to work with ASUS boards, although I don't know this for sure. Anyway, like I said, I'll give this another crack tomorrow...

 

Cheers Guys

[nomis66]

Hi Guys,

 

At the moment I'm doing everything on my PPC running Leopard. Baring that in mind, Having added the new kexts, how do I convert my initrd folder back to an .img?

 

Disk Utility will only create a .img as part of a hybrid file, to which it adds the extension .dmg

 

Cheers
