vyedmic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 So like if I add a patched AppleHDA.kext to the Extra folder then I have to delete the original AppleHDA.kext? That doesn't make too much sense to me... Don't use that one so can't say anything. I use the extra folder only for this: AppleAHCIPort.kext AppleAPIC.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext AppleSMBIOS.kext Disabler.kext dsmos.kext IONetworkingFamily.kext JMicronATA.kext SMBIOSEnabler.kext But I had problems trying to make NVKush to work(it didn't add QE/CI support). When I installed it into system extensions it did though so experiment and find which kexts work and which don't.....Sorry for not being more helpful.

~pcwiz Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Cool, I might decide to give it another try sometime later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 so do kexts added to the extras folder have to be removed from the system's extension folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyedmic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 so do kexts added to the extras folder have to be removed from the system's extension folder? No it's not needed! But it would be one of the first things I'd try if you're having problems loading certain kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 does anybody know the optimal kexts to use with my system specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 ok so i admit im coming (very) late to the party, but holy {censored} dudes, this is amazing stuff... i totally dig how the scene has progressed and the techniques have gotten more and more sophisticated.... genius! one question - i know my hacky cant run vanilla kernel (its a pentium d)... is there any way to specify an alternate kernel as well as additional kexts? apologies if this has been addressed, i lack the mental energy to read 20 pages....

Signal64 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Can you add EFI Strings to boot132? A few posts here have touched on this but I didn't see a response if it works and what the confirmed process is. Is it a matter of adding the same path and com.apple.Boot.plist file to the initrd.img extras folder? Sorry, not sure if this belongs here or in the help section as I do have a boot132 method working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcival39 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi all, Thanks for the great work here. I would like to still add few kext to this iso.

Usal Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Finally I got it working (the previous dvd I was using wasn't retail). Seriously this is one of the biggest advance in osx86 ever. Works great. The only part I missed is the ability to install to mbr partitions (I couldn't, even with double click). Good work to everyone who made this possible. I don't understand what this BOOT-132 does and why it is an advancement... It's makes it where you must have a boot CD every time or just the for the installation? Why is installing from retail better than Kalyway or iAtkos or any other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zascok Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 another way to boot from hd is to make one more partition on your mac hd, format it on fat32 in windows use command run syslinux.exe -ma -f <partition letter>: (Ex: syslinux.exe -ma -f l:) make partition active copy all files from your USB Drive to partition open syslinux.cfg and remove "APPEND biosdev=81" works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCa Cola Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 very nice indeed. Little retail to MBR install guide: i installed leopard to an external guid formatted usb drive and after the install i directly bootet from the retail dvd again and used the disk utility to restore the contents from the external usb drive to my mbr partition. worked great. update from 10.5 to 10.5.4 was no problem with apples software update. there were however some issues with my two graphic cards which i could solve now, but thats another story...
