Leopard Installation "leopard-x86-flat-img"

[Mac_Psi]

Hi,

 

I am installing Leopard on my pc from "leopard-x86-flat-img" file I downloaded from other resources.

 

I am following these steps for installation:

 

1- Extract the leopard-x86.rar.

 

2- you will have a flat img file its NOT ISO fle.

 

3- Move this file into the folder "write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk0" if you want to instal leopard on your master 1st hard drive, or "write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk1" if you want to install leopard on the second hard drive if you have two hard drives...etc.

 

4- Put any files containing the litters "dd" in the same folder that you have moved the image into..its should be "write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk0".

 

5- Excute/Open the file dd-list first then open the fle write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk0.bat

 

6- It should counts to approx. 18,XXX,XXX,XXX

 

7- After that your PC should reboot automaticly, if it didn't just rebootit manually no-prblems.

 

8- your PC will boot automaticly to Leopard setup screen,

 

Got every step done. I had to reboot it manually and changed the boot device to select my disk1 from bios screen. As soon I boot into my Disk1 I get a Grey sceen with spinnny cirlcle on bottom after a while I see a small box in the middle of the apple with an X on it. I sit for an hour rebooted twice i think it froze there.

 

I am installing it on a Core 2 Duo processor, 160 GB Sata HDD, 4 GB Ram any ideas why I am getting this image with X on it on the top of apple screen? I also have a IDE 80GB HDD where my XP is installed.

 

Please suggest what I am doing wrong and how can I get rid of this problem!!

 

Thanks,

Hi riws,

 

Can you please explain where exactly I can find this .Kext file?

 

Mac OS X is not yet installed on my machine I think as I am getting that image with cross every time I boot.

 

Please help me!

 

Thanks,

Get this: http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

 

After Installation and Reboot u should see the OSX HFS+ Partition in Windows Exlorer, and then delete this /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext File on the OSX Partition.

Ok riws,

 

i did exactly what you said. But the problem is still persisting. Any ideas?

Delete

 

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

[Mac_Psi]

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache ---> I was not able to find this on my system.

/System/Library/Extensions.mkext ---> deleted this and reboot the system but no success!!!

OK then, after you access the OSX Drive, press F8 and as Option to boot enter:

-v -legacy

 

What it says then?

[Mac_Psi]

okay I did what you said "-v -legacy".. It run though some thing on command prompt very quickly andin the end it stopped and at the last line I can see the following message:

"ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream". and then it says:

 

"Still waiting for root device" What should I do now?

[riws]

Can you enable AHCI in Bios?

 

What Motherboard is it?

[Mac_Psi]

I have HP Compaq DX 7380 MT with :

. Intel Q965/ICH8 chipset

· Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GMA 3000

· Total 4 PCI slots (2*PCI slot,1 PCIe x1, 1PCIe x 16)

· Integrated SATA II controllers with 6 SATA ports (2 SATA ports can be configured as RAID) , 1 PATA PORT.

· Integrated Broadcom 10/100/1000 Network Connection with WOL.

· Integrated 8 channel HD Audio.

· Choice of hard drives and optical drives

· HP Bizcover Diagnostics and Recovery Manager.

· Desktop management tool.

· Single or dual channel DDRII SDRAM system memory DDR667/DDR 800.

 

okay, I guess I managed to enable "AHCI" mode on my board.

 

It actually bypasses the previous message i.e. "ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream". After this message it says, "From Path: "UUID"

 

Then it says "Waiting for boot volume with UUID and some loooong numeric value.

 

Then it says waiting on <dict ID ="0"> IOProviderClass </key> and something like that and then again it says:

 

"Still waiting for root device"

 

STUCKED AGAIN!!!!

Well, but why not a real Leopard DVD, like from Kalyway, iDeneb, JaS, iAtkos. U have a DD from a very buggy Leopard Partition.

Do you want me to download Leopard for Hackintosh from some where else?

[Mac_Psi]

I still belive that the problem I am facing can be fixed easily!

 

Please guys help me out!

Now can you please suggest from where I can get a "real" OS X 10.5.3 or OS X 10.5.4 installer that works with my machine's configuration.

 

This time I want the DVD ISO.

 

Please help!

It doesn't detect your HDD Controller, so it cant boot up. I guess you need to add your ICH ID into Driver, but you need to fix Permissions for this Driver, but you don't have a working OSX to do it.

 

Now can you please suggest from where I can get a "real" OS X 10.5.3 or OS X 10.5.4 installer that works with my machine's configuration.

 

This time I want the DVD ISO.

Take then newest, 10.5.4 then.

 

Search in Google:

iDeneb 10.5.4 torrent

or

iAtkos 10.5.4 torrent

[Mac_Psi]

Okay riws,

 

I download iAtkos 10.5.4 ISO. I then installed OS X from this DVD. It installed fine.

 

But here is another problem. It installed fine and then it rebooted the machine and now I getting that spinny circle forever. It won't go away and I am waiting to see my login screen!!!

 

Any ideas how can I solve this problem now?

 

Thanks,
