New modified BOOT-132 allows you to boot retail DVDs

[NezzariX]

I am very close to getting Boot 132 to work. Using -f I can get all the way to the OS X installation but it always freezes when it says "2 minutes left." I've tried several OS X discs but they all do the same.... Has anyone experienced this before?

[roki6]

Restart works, sleep works except for no IP on wake and shutdown mostly works with the OS shutting down but not the hardware, sometimes.

 

is this working out of the box? Do you use patched ACPI kext?

In my case (EP35-DS3R) it works only with Kaly install and patched kernel. With vanilla it is not working.

The same on retail instal with chameleon. Sleep is not working in any combination.

 

The only real problem I'm having at the moment is no audio. I just can't seem to get it to work and I think I've pretty much tried everything.

 

I only tried it with HDAenabler.kext and I get kernel panic at boot.

For AppleHDA.kext I think I read somewhere that it will not work when loaded from image or /Extra folder. It must be placed in System/Library/Extensions.

I am not sure about this so if someone can confirm.

 

I do have a couple of questions if anybody has the time to answer them. I have my video card working with nvinject. It sounds like, from the reading I've done, that EFI strings are becoming the preferred method to use. With Chameleon installed using the Kalyway tool, can I use EFI strings?

 

I use natit.kext for ATI2600XT and I put it in /Extra/Extensions.

This injector kext do the same job as EFI. I do not see any benefit in using EFI strings now that you can put kext in separate folder since for me this was major benefit of EFI - no need to add or patch kexts in S/L/Extensions

 

 

Second question, If I want to add a few kexts to the Extra folders at a later date, what do I have to do to get them to load? For example, If I want to move nvinject from the extensions folder to the extras folder, what's the best method to do that. I tried several times over the last couple of days to do just that, but I could never get it to load.

 

Just move/copy them to Extra/Extensions folder, fix ownership and permissions

Then change info.plist that is located in Content folder inside kext

Add (or change if it is already there) at the end:

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
<string>Root</string>

 

This must go before the last two lines

 

</dict>
</plist>

 

 

Regards...

 

 

After installing the 10.5.4 combo update I had problems with shutdown and restart. Eventually I found a patched AppleACPIPlatform.kext that fixed this. I replaced the vanilla copy in the System/Libraries/Extensions folder.

 

Can you upload this patched ACPI or provide URL to it?

Tnx.

[NSCXP2005]

How do you ix the ownership and permissions on the extra/extensions folder?

[Riley Freeman]

Can you upload this patched ACPI or provide URL to it?

Tnx.

Sure. I got it from here (Latest_11_JUN_AppleACPIPlatform.kext.zip).

 

I did some messing around last night with the "extra" extensions folder on the hard disk to see if i could put the patched kext in there and leave the vanilla one installed. But the vanilla kext still loaded so it looks like I still have to replace system files. Would have been nice if I could have left them alone and had the patched kexts in the extra folder override them.

The only thing I'm using to boot, other than nvinject, is the extensions.mkext file that was in the extra folder on Elastics ~Galaxy_Boot.iso.

 

I only tried it with HDAenabler.kext and I get kernel panic at boot.

For AppleHDA.kext I think I read somewhere that it will not work when loaded from image or /Extra folder. It must be placed in System/Library/Extensions.

I am not sure about this so if someone can confirm.

 

I tried HDAEnabler and ALCInject with patched different AppleHDA's. I even tried AppleAzalia ( I think that's what it's called). Nothing worked. I'm just gonna get an iMic and be done with that.

I'll give that a whirl. Thanks.

 

What's the proper way to remove a kext from the Extensions folder, by the way? Move it to the trash and then delete the extensions.mkext in the Library?

 

Thanks again,

Bif

Hi all i got problem

 

Download .ISO Original with project kexts (all your need is here - noobs try this first): http://www.mediafire.com/?uwd9dtttjfk

 

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;

 

at this point i got this error

System config file ' /com.apple.boot.S/Library/preferences/systemconfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist' not found

#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!

Did anybody get the HDAenabler and ALC883 working?

 

Im running it on Asus P5E-VM DO which is Realtek® ALC883. It works if its installed directly on the S/L/E on my other HD. I did a fresh install of the Retail, No edits on the Extension folder but HDAEnabler and AppleHDA ver" 158- ALC883 -0x10ec0883 - For leopard Codec Address 0" does not work. added this to initrd.img, of course I changed <key>OSBundleRequired</key> <string>Root</string> but still no joy. AppleSMBios, IONETworkingFamily, AppleAHCIPort, etc are all working.

 

Any Ideas?

[Guest BuildSmart]

Don't use that one so can't say anything. I use the extra folder only for this:

 

AppleAHCIPort.kext

AppleAPIC.kext

AppleDecrypt.kext

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

AppleSMBIOS.kext

Disabler.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.

Only the latest version of AppleDecrypt is legal to distribute so I would caution you verify the version you are using is generated from the latest source, PsyStar is in possession of the latest source project and it is GPL so it should not be an issue to obtain it from them.

The first error says it all, your Leo4All doesn't have the IOAudioFamily driver, probably removed to save disk space.

[3x5a3d]

AppleAzaliaAudio.kext installed in the "Leo retail install" /System/Library/Extensions folder works fine.

 

i also try to put "IOAudioFamily.kext" from leo with "AppleAzaliaAudio.kext" in "initrd.img" but it do nothing.

 

where is the probleme?

[roki6]

I setup Chaneleon/boot-123 on hardrivewith kaly installer

Everything works fine when I boot with -f option but without it some (or maybe all) kexts in /Extra/Extensions do not load.

I can see that because then my harddrives are shown as external (orange), reboot is not working (ACPI kext).

I added <key>OSBundleRequired</key> <string>Root</string> to each kext in the folder. I even changed it IO plugins inside IOAHCIFamily kext.

 

Any solution to that except permanently adding -f switch to boot options?

 

Some somehow unrelated questions :

How to check version of a kext?

How to see what extensions are loaded ?

 

Thanks

It's clear you have no clue what you are doing, what you are trying to do with initrd isn't going to work the way you want it to until you have resolved the missing dependancies in your installation.

 

If you are using the magic-boot CD then why are you using the Leo4All installation? (maybe you don't have/ can't nurn 8.5gb media or you don't have a core 2 processor or better)

look at my latests post

 

Thanks. But this for cases where kexts are in S/L/E folder. I am keeping them in /Extra/Extension. Permissions are all set (same as exts in /S/L/Extension folder. And I deleted Extension.mkext

And I still have problems with loading...

...it would be possible to automate the start without having to give "ENTER" to choose the boot disk?

[ravennolonger]

Looking for some help here, this is what happens to me. I boot using the boot-132 disk, swap it with the Leo retail disk then go into the Leo installer. I get to about "less than 1 minute" left in the install when I get an error saying it can find the "startup disk" and that I need to restart and install again. What causes this, and how to I correct it?

 

Here is my hardware:

Intel Q6600 2.4GHz quad-core processor w/ Zalman CNPS9500A LED CPU heatsink

Corsair XMS2 4gb DDR RAM

Asus Maximus Formula Mobo - Intel X38/ICH9R;PCI-e 2.0; up to 1600 mhz FSB; supports ATI CROSSFIRE; 10 USB 2.0 ports; 3 1394 ports; 2 Gigabit ethernet ports; Built-in hi-def sound card with optical and SPDIF outs

I just have a kinda unusual question. If I open a finder window then I dont see the the blue/white columns in the finder like on my macbook. But if I have another window of a programm or finder above the other one, then I can see these blue/white columns in the "shadow" of the first window. It is kinda a graphical issue and maybe someone knows a work around.

 

I have a Geforce 8800 GTS 512MB.

 

Also Popcorn 3/Toast doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?

 

Best regards

Enable Quiet Boot to do this. You can manually add it to your com.apple.boot.plist file or use a tool like OSx86Tools or EFIStudio to do it for you.

 

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>Yes</string>

I think this is a side-effect of booting from the boot-123 disc and swapping. I get it too. Leo is installed fine. Just restart and replace the Leopard disc with the boot-123 one.

Very good! TNX

@valmar

 

I had the same problem as yours with toast and the problem is related to the video card. You have to change the default resolution (1024x768) to a higher resolution. To do this you have to enable QE/CI. I have an Nvidia 8800GT 512MB.

 

With the resolution to 1280x1024, toast is working perfectly. At 1024x768 it does not work.

 

Regards

[Valmar]

Doesn't work for me. I am using 1280x1024 for the whole time. Changing the resolution doesn't have any effect :/

Same thing here. AppleAzaliaAudio.kext (with edited Info.plist) works when installed in system/library/extensions, does not work in Extra/extensions. Like 3x5a3d I don't have a clue what I'm doing and are stuck in the error state of the trial and error process. (I don't mind in this case as Azalia is not a critical kext, if it would be overwritten by an unpatched apple update I would lose sound in the worst case and would just have to install azalia again, but it wouldn't kill the system if I'm not wrong.)

But what made you think that 3x5a3d applied the retail method to Leo4All?

[Riley Freeman]

I had no luck getting Taruga's AppleHDA.kext (patched for ALC883) to load from /Extra/Extensions either. Adding/incrementing the IOProbeScore values just didn't work. So I just have it installed normally.
