jlb0305 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I keep getting the Image Checksum error. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSynapse Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I keep getting the Image Checksum error. Any advice? The files in the boot 132 iso are in Caps. In windows using apps like Magic ISO or Ultra ISO try and rename the caps file in low. Example INITRD.IMG > initrd.img Hope it will work for u either. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb0305 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I used the slimbuild GUI and get the checksum error... mod the file names in windows with ISO commander to lower case... look at CD after burning, still lower case. But still get the checksum error. Only Boot 132 i've got to work is the bumby one but I get stuck at the Aura screen with the spinning ball before I can do anything. Someone said it was the Boot 132 i used... I also got the check sum when I tried to edit the initrd.img file to add my kexts for the bumby.

Signal64 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi munky, I noticed your using -iso -hfs to build the iso. Is there any advantage to that? If you change it to -iso -joliet it will stop the "Press any key to boot cd or press F8 for options" message cycle and instead just bring you to boot: as some of the earliest boot132 iso's do. I find it a bit cleaner to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTronz Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hey guy's I want to use this method to install leopard on my machine, I've got all the kexts I need but could someone upload a working com.apple.boot.plist for me please? And also if I want to have a vanilla kernel do I still need to include some kind of kernel of the disk, or do I leave the kernel directory empty? Any help is appriciated .

No need to add a kernel if you want vanilla. Also your boot CD is probably working fine. When you get to the prompt about com.apple.boot.plist just press F8 then ESCAPE. You should see a prompt about choosing your boot drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmnipotentIdiot Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 hi, i know this is for OS X 10.5,but wouldn't it make sense to port a pc version out? If I already have 10.5 installed,why go through the hassle of re-installing a retail copy since updates are a gamble to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardUK Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I am trying to build an OS-X system on my Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R motherboard which has an ATI HD3870-x2 graphics card I am running OpenBSD, Ubuntu, Windows Vist and Windows 7 systems. I do not have access to a MAC system. Can anyone out there supply instructions on how to build a customized BootCD-123 on a non-MAC system?

mitch_de Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Main problem ist the gpu ATI 3870 which has major problems / impossilble at least to get Snow Leopard running. You should only try 10.5.x ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kara Kent Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 So im basically computer retarded, I cant figure out from the instructions how to run the root command. Putting the extensions in is simple but then the steps after are Then run the slimbuild script as root: cd /dir/to/slimbuild sudo ./slimbuild.sh I do not get where I put this in or activate the command at all so my iso can be created.
