Silent_Panther Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 @chris7519: even thou issue is 1,5 month old ;-) keep in mind that MacOS is case sensitive so go ahead and try "xar -c -f OSInstall.mpkg" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thel8elvis Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Part E) Creating the final disk image1. Open Toast Titanium 2. Click the "Copy" Tab 3. Select Disc Image Merge 4. For "Select ISO Image…" open new.iso from your desktop 5. For "Select Mac Image…" open your modified leopard image. 6. Save as disk image. 7. Burn your newly created image! Excellent and still relevant guide, thank you. For those who do not need to merge the disc images, you can just use disk utility instead of toast to create the iso. Mount the image you created , select it, menu -> images -> convert: image format DVD/CD master save that image (on mac, a .cdr is the same as .iso) and burn that.

RetroRen Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I haven't seen this guide before, very cool Can someone confirm will this work on AMD system or is this only for Intel CPU based systems? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvdbogaard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 created a singlelayer DVD from retail 1.5.1. no succes at all. It just hung from the start, after reporing VESA v3.0 14MB (NVIDIA) I check what I did and found the kext files I added to be of a non root:wheel owner ship. Redid after re-chown-ing and tried to start. With the -v -f options I see plenty of kext directories being read. In the end the result is: Attempting to determine CPU Multiplier. If system rebootsm RDBMSR 198h causes a fault. Determined CPU:FSB multiplier to be 0 CPU says its multiplier is 0 wich makes no sense. The kernel as shipped by Apple will not support this and will cause the machine to reboot immediately. Press 'y' to continue or use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot. Indeed a 'y' makes the machine restart Same thing happens without the -f option. Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132_dfe_r146 6141 MB memory are the top two lines by the way. Machine used is built with: Gigabyte EX58-UD5, Intel I7 920, 6GB ram, 1TB SATA Seagate 7200.12, Sony optiarc AD7240S, ASUS VGA EN9800GT/HTDP/512 Any pointers/clues/hint/tips or solutions are very welcome indeed. Thanks! Paul. BTW I forgot, but the kext on my DVD are: ACPIPS2Nub.kext HDAEnabler.kext AppleAC97Audio.kext IONetworkingFamily.kext AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext AppleACPIPlatform.kext LegacyHDAController.kext AppleAHCIPort.kext LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext AppleAPIC.kext LegacyIOAHCIBlockStorage.kext AppleAzaliaAudio.kext LegacyJMicronATASATAIDE.kext AppleGenericPCATA.kext LegacyJMicronJMB36xSATA.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext NVinject.kext AppleNForceATA.kext NVkush.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext AppleSMBIOS.kext SMBIOSEnabler.kext AppleVIAATA.kext UUID.kext Disabler.kext dsmos.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal.9000xx Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I tried to follow this guide and it didn't work for me I have installed xcode. Does it mean that I have xar now? Cause I dont know how to install it. Anyways I tried this method using Snow Leopard. Is it possible to make it work on PC with this guide? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal.9000xx Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Why does Carbon Copy Cloaner says that I dont have sufficient space on a target drive and it cannot finish Cloning though I have 9GB of free space on that partition? How much free space should I have then? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10N Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I got it to boot off my usb external hard disk! =] Thanks! I do have a problem with your guide: I couldn't locate OSinstall even after creating a read/write image. The easiest way around this in order for me to add in the modified OSinstall.mpkg was: sudo cp /Users/YOURMACCOMPUTERNAME/Desktop/OSinstall.mpkg /Volumes/YOURMACDRIVENAME/System/Installation/Packages Anyhow, everything looks great! ---------------------- Studio XPS 13!

truehybridx Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 No luck with xar thus far... I keep getting the message "no files to operate on" after trying "xar -c -f osinstall.mpkg" What would cause this??? hey you didnt notice the * at the end of that command did you lol, i did the same thing... me is blind lol... you need to call xar -c -f osinstall.mpkg * then it works How do you unlink the files you remove when you delete packages to make the image smaller? mine thru an error about not having all the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wungreingam Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 hello...i'm havin a bit of a problm mounting the iso image whenever i giv the cmd : sudo mount -rw hfsplus -o loop /mnt/media/『←→ҳ̸Ҳ̸ҳ←→』♪♫ .•´/snowleopard.iso /mnt/media/Macintosh/iso i get an error message : Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir: mount --make-shared dir mount --make-slave dir mount --make-private dir mount --make-unbindable dir One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree containing the directory dir: mount --make-rshared dir mount --make-rslave dir mount --make-rprivate dir mount --make-runbindable dir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount . do u thnk sumthin's wrong wit the cmd or m i missing sumthin else....'ve been tryin for days now my confg : processor : intel core i7 @ 2.67 ghz ram : 2 gb transcend ddr3 motherboard : asus p6t deluxe ve graphics card : xfx nvidia gtx 260 that's it ...thnx in advance contd... 『←→ҳ̸Ҳ̸ҳ←→』♪♫ .•´ is the ntfs drive where the iso image "snowleopard.iso" is located Macintosh is the hfsplus partition and iso is the directory or mounting point...

another_ladiesman217 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 do i have to do all the steps? i only need for it to work on an MBR partition, ill then used Digital_Dreamer's script and install the DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1shot Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 This method does not work for retail SL. Editing the "Distribution" from the OSInstall.mpkg does not allow MBR installation as was possible with the all 10.5x aka leopard retail install DVD.

I did find the folder that holds them, but How do I know what is already on the retail DVD? There are soo many kexts in that folder, do I add them all?
