SSE2 & 3 Retail Leo and Vanilla installs - Boot 132 on pre-Core !

[BladeRunner]

Anyone know where you can learn EFI strings ??

 

Re-read my previous post. I provided a link to the EFI forum. Look at the top - sticky - post for a start. Also, if you have the Xcode developer tools installed use the IORegestryExplorer to have a look. It's the data in the IORegestery that the EFI strings are setting. It's an emulation of the hardware EFI used by the real Mac systems.

Er... I just 'accidentally' bought a Core 2 Duo processor off eBay. Unfortunately my 945 board isn't one of the ones which supports c2d. So I need a cheapish board which is largely OSx86 compatible and preferably supports overclocking, as the CPU I bought is 1.8Ghz but is supposed to be a good overclocker. Any recommendations?

You can try GA-P35-DS3X It's very compatible and I think it's cheap too

Boot in 1280x1024x32 mode

[pauℓzurrr.]

My laptop's native resolution is 1280x768

I already tried 800x600x32 and 1024x768x32, but still the black screen, i do see the blue screen for a short time but then i goes black...

Btw, i'm using 3D mn's ISO + Mecurysquad's 9.4 kernel.

[DB1]

Munky - Asus P5K - VM works out of the box retail OSX and is a decent OCing board

[iSynapse]

I`ve installed the Retail Leo......Yoohoooo ....Everything works perfectly.....I can now update from now on directly by using Apples update utility.

 

One tiny problem...i can only boot using -v -f (-v by itself result "wainting for root device")...any idea y?

 

Thx again....munky & 3D man.

[3Dman]

Boot only with -f

I've problems also without -f

[iSynapse]

What exactly does -f at boot. maybe we need some kext in the extra folder

[munky]

-f forces the kernel to reload the kexts individually rather than loading the mkext cache.

[Volcacius]

Do you think that this could work also on non-intel motherboard with intel C2D processor? I'm trying to get retail leopard working on my nvidia system.

[rcasca]

Thanks a lot you're the man, Now I can boot retail Leopard on my Celeron D machine

 

Hi, 3D man, can you explain it step by step, I have same hardware but i can't strart with my retail dvd.

 

Thanks.

1- Download my ISO

2- Burn it then put it in the drive and restart.

3- After it finish loading eject it and insert Leopard Retail DVD.

4- Press enter then type 9f.

5- press f8 then type

rd(0,1)/modbin -v rd=diskXsY (you must know your retail dvd X, Y you can do that from Disk Utility

5- It must boot now without any problems.

Could you tell me detailed hardware spec ?

3d man: do you build your iso under Leopard or Tiger? The reason I ask is that I can burn your iso using Toast 9 or Disk Utility and it boots just fine. However when I try to make a modified copy for my system I can't get it to boot. The system says the CD is not bootable. It never attempts to load isolinux.

 

I have read that there are problems with burning iso on Leopard. Still, I don't appear to have problems burning an iso someone else created, just mine

Yeah it happend to me too dunno y...

[munky]

bladerunner: i had endless problems creating an ISO. i ended up using a windows program called MagicISO via Parallels to edit an existing ISO and replace the initrd.img file. hth.

 

@alex99: if you just need extra kexts, then yes, but you're not doing anything other than using the normal boot-132 process really. unless for some reason your machine needs a patched kernel...?

I've burned my ISO in leopard with Leopard's Disk Utility.

When I was trying to make it work I've burned 7 CDs to test all worked but this is the better (I really wasted a lot of CDs )

 

EDIT:

This is the best method, I edit my disk with it

Part D) Create your DFE disk image (skip this step if you already have your own working DFE disk image)

1. Mount generic.iso

2. Copy all files from generic.iso to a new folder on your desktop named "MKIso"

3. Unmount generic.iso

4. Mount INITRD.IMG from your MKIso folder.

5. In the "/Extra/Extensions" folder of the mounted image, add any extensions you need to boot your machine.

6. For all added extensions, right click them and select "show package contents"

7. Open the Info.plist file in textedit, located in either the folder "Contents" or in the root folder of the extension itself.

8. Add:

CODE

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>

<string>Root</string>

 

at the end of the info.plist file, right before the final:

CODE

</dict>

</plist>

9. Save the file.

10. Repeat this process for ALL extensions you add to the folder.

11. Unmount INITRD.IMG

12. Open terminal and enter:

hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/Desktop/new.iso ~/Desktop/MKIso/ -iso -eltorito-boot ~/Desktop/MKIso/ISOLINUX.BIN -no-emul-boot

[Nick14]

Worked on my HP Blackbird but with original BOOT-132

[3Dman]

I think that is the important thing to make the ISO bootable after editing it

hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/Desktop/new.iso ~/Desktop/MKIso/ -iso -eltorito-boot ~/Desktop/MKIso/ISOLINUX.BIN -no-emul-boot
