MAC OS X LEOPARD RETAIL ON ASUS P5Q / P5Q PRO / P5Q-EM AND OTHERS

[Ave Fenix]

Hi Everybody! I would like to know if this method will work on ASUS P5QL-E Motherboard. I´m planning on buying it, and I would not like to waste money. I think ideneb is working on this motherboard but I would need the RETAIL 10.5.7.

 

Can somebody help me please?

 

Thanks you all!!!

Hi there, i am a newbie of the 0sx86 world and i am a owner of a p5qpro motherboard with an ati radeon 4870 and i am planning to install mac on my IDE HD.

 

My question is: i got a partition of 75giga with installed winxp and i got 425gb of free space left, i have to use a program like gparted to create the mac's partitions? How does it look like the final gparted disk image?

Hello All, i installed the retail 10.5.5 and updated to 10.5.7 on my P5Q-E. Two problems:

 

1. Can only boot up to Mac os X using Boot 123 and -V ( it will stop at white apple logo when i use the Chameleon 2 Bootloader)

 

2. No display at 8400GS DVI port( install EFI string)

 

 

Please give me some advices,thank you.

[yiping]

Thanks!My PC is perfect!

I installed IPC 10.5.6 and updated to 10.5.7.

[himac59]

hai,

 

after the moded rom, the ideneb 1.4 version should work

give it a try

 

i got the Asus P5ql se and it works great

with iDeneb 10.5.6 and the update 10.5.7 also works

if you have problems with audio, look at the Voodoohda sounddriver

 

Hai,

 

It should work, certainly after the modded rom

look further on this forum.

i have the Asus P5Ql se which works great with

ideneb v1.4 - 10.5.6

 

here withNvidia 9500GT

ethernet works OOB

voodoohda sounddriver

 

any questions you can mail

 

It work on ASUS P5QL-E Motherboard.

1st do the modded bios patch

 

Ideneb v1.4 (10.5.6) works great

standard install

choose video driver

choose not something but know 1st what driver you need.

I used for the P5ql the Voodoohda driver for sound and it works great, you can find in this forum. My spec are:

 

Asus P5ql se

Nvidia 9500gt

standard install Ideneb 10.5.6 works great except sound

install Voodoohda driver and all works Out of the Box

also ideneb update 10.5.7 works good

[Nexus™ uk]

very good tutorial, got mine working perfectly.

 

used kalyway 10.5.2, couldnt be bothered to download deneb. and used the 10.5.6 retail disk, updated to 10.5.7 once installed.

[cathyyin]

Hi all,

 

Does any one have advice on fixing the sleep (immediately waking up) issue with retail OSX on p5q se r? I tried jumpers, bios and also a few ACPI kexts but none worked so far. Thanks so much in advance.

[marionez]

On my PC the only thing that caused reboot/sleep/shutd issue is the PS2 (mouse or keyboard) kext driver.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1114415

 

I removed appleacpips2nub and ps2controller now with all that kexts in my signature, my OSx reboot sleep and shutd properly.

[AnaktuvGod]

I've been successful in installing retail 10.5.4 on *P5QC* and updated to 10.5.7 . Everything working = video, lan, audio. (with the help of kexts of course)

 

E8400 Core 2 Duo

 

4Gb of 1066 DDR2

 

2 SATA Drives @ 7200 rpm

 

1 DVD Burner

 

EVGA GTX 260 @ 896Mb of DDR3

 

 

 

Really wish I there was a way to use Boot Camp. I would rather install windows this way as to another partition or drive for that matter. I attempted but it says something like my boot rom version is incorrect or needs updating or something of that nature. But success with step by step instructions will get a *P5QC* up and running like a Mac Pro.

[Martijn-k]

I need your help, please help me!

 

I have installed iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 and it is good. But when i want to install the Retail image i can't get into the installer. System Specs: p5q pro, intel core 2 quad q9550, 4gb ddr2 ram, ati hd4850 1gb. I have some photo's:

 

Most of the time it stops here:

 

 

But sometimes it makes it to here:

 

 

And 1 time it came here:

 

 

But than first came that spinning thing with colours and than I get a complete hang.

 

If I boot with -v, i get this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And i have an other question, when I get the P5Q PRO screen, and not press f8 quick, i get this:

 

 

And if i select my USB drive i get "No operating system found", I must first select my harddisk and than press f8 quickly to get: MACOSX or RETAILIMAGE

 

Please help!

 

HELP!

 

 

 

 

I've installed Windows again, my mac os x adventure has finised here... If i want a mac i'll buy it

MAC OS X Retail on ASUS P5Q / P5Q PRO /P5Q-EM /P5Q-VM AND OTHERS

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED

MAC OSX LEOPARD RETAIL

ON ASUS P5Q MOBO

Robert

 

 

Installing Mac OSX Leopard Retail on a ASUS P5Q Mobo...

 

The Drivers and the Boot 132 Files included in this thread should also work for ASUS P5Q PRO Motherboard

This guide should work for all ASUS P5Q Series Motherboard with Intel P45 + ICH10R. Other P5Q Motherboards with ICH10R should also work.

 

 

 

 

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD

 

Download IDeneb 10.5.5 - (4.38 GB) or you can also use iAtkos 10.5.5 (2.64 GB)

 

Download Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.4_9E25_Retail.dmg (7.01 GB).

 

Download MAC OS X 10.5.5 UPDATE (316 Mb)

 

Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 9E25 Retail (7.01 Gb) + MAC OS X 10.5.5 UPDATE (316 Mb). Overall you can get the original Apple MAC OS X version 10.5.5 (9F33) Original-Retail, without any problems and then updated directly from www.apple.com without any problem.

 

The original works Faster and more stable than Hackintosh versions. The original is installed via the native Vanilla kernel.

 

 

 

STEP 2: FLASHING BIOS

 

1. MOD BIOS FOR ASUS P5Q

MOD BIOS FOR ASUS P5Q PRO

 

 

 

 

MOD BIOS FOR ASUS P5Q-EM

 

 

MOD BIOS FOR ASUS P5Q-VM

 

 

You can find Modified Bios for other P5Q Motherboards Here

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=136586

 

OR

 

http://www.osxcores.site50.net/page1/page1.html

 

2. Save file 1611-P5Q-PRO_JC_All_OS_MAC_Incl..ROM to USB FlashDrive or Floppy disk.

3. After reboot press "DELETE" to enter setup

4. Go to section TOOLS > mark ASUS EZ Flash2 > press Enter > press OK

5. Press "TAB" > Select a key "Down arrow" or "Up arrow" saved on a floppy disk or flash-drive file 1611-P5Q-PRO_JC_All_OS_MAC_Incl.ROM

6. Press «ENTER».

7. Select "OK" > press "ENTER"

8. System will erase the old BIOS and will write the new one

9. And in 5 seconds will automatically reboot

STEP 3: LOADING BIOS OPTION.

 

CHANGE THE STORAGE CONFIGURATION IN BIOS TO AHCI.

 

Also make sure that the Firewire option is Enabled in the Bios.

STEP 4: PARTITION

I used GParted to create the Partition. I did the partition like this.

 

First Partition : FAT 32 Partition for the Boot 132 Files (If you are planning to create a bootable drive with Boot 132 files instead of the USB Flash Drive) / This drive is not necessary if you are going to install PC EFI V9

 

You can avoid the creation of the FAT 32 Partition if you are going to install PC EFI V 9 on the Mac OS X drive.....See Step 11

 

Second Partition: HFS Journled Partition for iDeneb Installation name it as MACOSX

 

Third Partition : HFS Journled Image for restoring Mac OS X Retail Image name it as RETAIL IMAGE

 

 

 

 

If you are planning on installing Mac OS X Retail on P5Q - EM Motherboard and with GUID Partition Scheme (Not for MBR Partition....For MBR Partition follow my Steps in this thread) then download this pdf file with instructions from Rocksteady Thanks to Rocksteady

 

 

Note: You can also try the method given by Rocksteady for other P5Q Motherboards but you need to have the proper Boot 132 iso and kext files of your motherboard to do that..

 

STEP 5: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive

 

1. Download these two files: Asus_P5Q_RX_Create_Flash_SYSLINUX_3.72.part1.zip and Asus_P5Q_RX_Create_Flash_SYSLINUX_3.72.part2.zip

2. Place both the files in a single folder.

3. Right click on the first file and select Extract Files using Winrar

4. Type in the Destination as C:\1 and then click on OK

5. Connect your USB Drive and format with FAT32

6. Open CMD (Run as an Administrator if you are in Vista) and Enter CD C:\1\win32

7. Type syslinux.exe -ma [drive letter]: For example: SYSLINUX.EXE -ma R: if your drive letter is R

8. Now copy the files from ASUS_P5Q_BOOT_132.rar into the USB Flash Drive

Now you have a Bootable Flash Drive ready. Now with your Bootable Flash Drive you can load both the installation of MAC OS X IMAGE and also MAC OS X Retail.

 

To check if the USB Drive is Bootable. Follow the below steps.

1. Right Click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'

2. Now click on Disk Management.

3. Here check if the USB Flash Drive is Active.

4. If it is not active then right click on the drive and make it Active.

STEP 6: INSTALLATION

First we need to Install IDeneb 10.5 or iATKOS 10.5 its upto you.

 

Please change the Storage Configuration in the Bios to AHCI

 

If you are Installing iDeneb

 

1. Burn ISO Ideneb 1.3 on DVD-R or DVD-RW.

2. Boot with -v

3. Once you get the option to select the Drive.

4. Enter Disk Utility and Format the Drive named MACOSX with Mac OS Journled

5. Select the drive MACOSX and then click Next

6. Click Customize and and select the appropriate Video Drivers according to the graphics card that you have installed.

7. Also select Kext_Helper_b7.zip and X11.

 

If you are Installing iAktos

1. Burn ISO iAtkos 10.5.5 on DVD-R or DVD-RW.

2. Boot with -v

3. Once you get the option to select the Drive .

4. Enter Disk Utility and Format the Drive named MACOSX with Mac OS Journled

5. Select the drive MACOSX and then click Next

6. Click Customize and and select the appropriate Video Drivers according to the graphics card that you have installed.

7. Once the installation is over it will ask for a restart, do not restart.

8. Open Disk utility and select the MACOSX drive and click Verify Permission

9. Now click Repair Permission and once it is done restart the computer.

 

If you need more help for installing iDeneb or iATKOS or Installing AHCI Drivers for Windows XP then visit this Thread.

 

 

STEP 7: RESTORING OSX RETAIL IMAGE FILE

 

1. Enter IDeneb / iATKOS

2. Open Disk Utility (FINDER > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)

3. Right click on the third partition named RETAIL IMAGE and select Restore

4. In the source select the Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.4_9E25_Retail.dmg

5. In the destination drag and drop the drive named RETAIL IMAGE

6. Now click on Restore. This will restore the Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.4_9E25_Retail.dmg to the third drive i.e RETAIL IMAGE

7. Once it is done run this TinkerTool.zip

8. Select Show Hidden and System Files and then click on Relaunch Finder

STEP 11: INSTALLING BOOTLOADERS

 

You can avoid the creation of the FAT 32 Partition if you are going to install PC EFI V 9 or Chameleon Bootloader on the Mac OS X drive.....

 

There are three methods....Use any one

 

Method I: Installing PC EFI V9 OR

 

Method II: Installing Chameleon 2 Bootloader

 

Method III: Boot Using Bootable Fat 32 Partition

(Use Method III only if Method I and Method II does not work.)

 

=======================================================

 

 

Method I:

How To Install Bootloader and Dual Boot: PC EFI V9

Many Thanks to Apreichner

 

This little guide assumes you used an MBR partition during install as the tutorial states. It also assumes you used the same hard drive for Windows. It also assumes you successfully installed Leopard Retail using a thumb drive with Boot132.

 

Step 1: Boot into Leopard Retail and install the necessary kexts for Internet browsing using Kext Helper.

 

Step 2: Download this file: bootloader.zip.

 

Step 3: Extract the file anywhere, it doesn't really matter where. An easy place would be your desktop. After you extract, run Bootloader.pkg. Follow the on screen steps (During install, if asked where to install, select your Macintosh partition. DO NOT RESTART after install.

 

Step 4: Install and run Tinker Tool and enable viewing of hidden files.

 

Step 5: Travel to the root of your Macintosh disk. Locate the file labeled "boot" and the folder "Extras". Delete both of this and empty the trash.

 

Step 6: Travel to the thumb drive where you installed Boot132. Copy the file labeled "boot" and paste it to the root of your Macintosh folder.

 

Step 7: Go back into the Boot132 drive and mount the image "initrd.img" by double clicking on it. It will then be listed under Device on the left navigation bar, click it and copy the "Extras" folder from there and paste it into the root of your Macintosh drive.

 

Reboot your system and make sure your hard drive is your first boot device.

 

 

Method II: (Not recommended for those who have Win XP and Mac OS X on different HDD)

 

How to Install the Chameleon 2 Bootloader

Many Thanks to Apreichner

 

Alright the RC of Chameleon 2 looks great! This should work on both GUID and MBR partitions. If you dual boot with multiple hard drives on GUID, you will enjoy the added benefit of your other operating systems being auto-detected and not needing to press Esc and enter in a drive number.

If you are upgrading from my PC_EFI_v9 tutorial there are three things you should do first:

1. Delete the file named "boot" in the root of your Mac drive.

2. Ensure the "Extra" folder on the root of your drive is indeed titled "Extra" and not "Extras" (I can't remember how it was, I just deleted it.)

3. Cut and paste the "Extra" folder to your desktop.

 

Installation:

 

1.Download the Chameleon 2 Installer Package. Unfortunately, I can't provide a link because of board rules, but if you do a google search for "Chameleon 2 Installer Package" you will find a page titled "Chameleon: Chameleon 2.0RC1" is out! . You can find the package from there. (Make sure you download the Installer Package and not the Binaries.)

 

2. Install it to your Macintosh drive.

 

3. Located the initrd.img file on your Boot132 and mount the image. Go inside of the mounted Initrd image and copy the folder titled "Extra" to the root of your Macintosh drive. (If you are upgrading from my PC_EFI_v9 tutorial, you can just paste the Extra folder from you desktop to the root of your Mac drive)

 

4. Restart your computer.

 

Please also note: If you used an MBR partition and installed Windows on the same hard drive AFTER installing Mac OS X, and it continues to boot straight to Windows instead of the bootloader. I suggest you download the GParted live cd and make sure your Macintosh drive is set with a "boot" flag.

 

Known Issue: There might be problems booting Windows XP if it is on a separate hard drive. I'm (Apreichner) working on solutions for that now. This is a known problem by the Chameleon team. If this problem occurs then to boot XP use the standard F8 at bios to select other drive.

 

 

Method III:

(IF you don't want to use the USB Drive for Booting or don't want to install PC EFI V9 or Chameleon Bootloader then follow the below given steps).

 

1. Download these two files: Asus_P5Q_RX_Create_Flash_SYSLINUX_3.72.part1.zip and Asus_P5Q_RX_Create_Flash_SYSLINUX_3.72.part2.zip

2. Place both the files on a single folder.

3. Right click on the first file and extract using Winrar

4. Type in the Destination as C:\1 and then click on OK

6. Open CMD (Run as an Administrator if you are in Vista) and Enter CD C:\1\win32

7. Type syslinux.exe -f [drive letter]: For example: SYSLINUX.EXE -f D: if your drive letter is D or syslinux.exe -ma -f D: if your drive letter is D

8. Now copy the files from ASUS_P5Q_BOOT_132.rar into the FAT 32 Drive

To check if the FAT 32 Partition on your HDD is Bootable. Follow the below steps.

1. Right Click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'

2. Now click on Disk Management.

3. Here check if your FAT 32 Drive is Active.

4. If it is not active then right click on the drive and make it Active.

5. Now no need to insert the USB Drive everytime you want to boot into MAC OS X Retail.

6. Reboot and this time boot from the HDD in which you have this FAT32 Partition
