M J Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 @onigoetz: you should post a screenshot of the kernel panic to understand where your problem is. are you sure you followed all the steps as described? did the bios patching succeed? @scott_donald: the only thing you have to modify after installation AND patching is to enable HT and 4 cores. if you bring everything back to default it might or it might not work. As for your validation error, is it at 22% of the installation or 22% of the DVD integrity check right before the actual install? Are you using an original retail disc? if not, have you tried to burn it at 4x? @mad_noob: did you manage to get your sound working? you probably have to update to 10.5.6 for the kext to work.

Yeah, sorry forgot to post the link here too. These are the informations I posted on the XNU-Dev forum Some screenshots are in the zip file, sorry for the quality; I took them with my mobile phone. Yes, my bios patching went very well. But for the steps, like I said, I made it a little bit freestyle the difference with your how to are Here : Step F : EFI Partition here I installed the Kernel and the kext directly into the main partition. (the kexts in the /Extra/Extensions/Folder) And because I dont use my network, I disabled the onboard networking. All other steps are the same. Tomorrow night, I'll try a new install. perhaps it'll be better this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.MnTnA Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well I got say I LOVE IT!!! I got my ASUS RIIE up and running and fast as hell! I'll post some marks later. right now I got it up to 4GHz. Your guide and this thread were a great idea, thanks for the help. Now hopefully I can start helping others, that may have similar problems I ran into. Although I have to be honest, I had the the orig. OS x retail on order through my place I work at for pretty cheap, but it's taking forever to get it, cause apple screwed up the order, but that's another story. So anyways I got a little impatient so I tried it with IPC 10.5.6. Pretty much worked the same with the basic settings and directions you have here. You can load it by using the busratio=XX -v -f method, then used the rest of the guide from there. Thank you to jimmydigital00, BladeRunner, Ripperss & TheHAWKs Big Thanks to MJ, munky & ~pcwiz!! You guys r s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M J Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah, sorry forgot to post the link here too. we are still without the link the difference with your how to are Here :Step F : EFI Partition here I installed the Kernel and the kext directly into the main partition. (the kexts in the /Extra/Extensions/Folder) you need either a boot-132 disc or a bootloader like chameleon or the EFI partition boot system! there are a couple of kexts that need to be loaded or leopard will stall when it recognizes it's not being run on a real Mac.

onigoetz Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have to sleep more ^^ http://www.onigoetz.ch/onigoetz.imac-de-stephane-goetz.zip This time for sure you have it. Yes I used the kexts in efi_pack_v2, the System.kext from the voodoo release and the legacy kexts from netkas for the orange drive icon. but I did a fresh install today, it's rebooting right now, I'll see if it's better.

scott_donald Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 did you try rd=disk0s1 or 2 or 3 ? or rd=disk1s2 or 3 ? rd=disk1s3 had one hard drive connected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onigoetz Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So what driver could i use ? I have an ASUS 9600GT , I saw on multiple posts that the driver is natively integrated in Leopard. should I try Aquamac drivers or something like that ? My fresh install has the same problem, but this time I did the 10.5.6 update, rebooted. all went smoothly, but after the other updates (itunes, airport, quicktime ...) i thought that I forgot to activate all cores and after activation, I rebooted and launch the migration wizard; then freeze ... Could it be related with the cpu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokkie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi all, I've tried anything in your guide, I even tried iDeneb v1.3, but without results. My only question is: Do I really need an "original" OSX dvd? Or can I use iDeneb AND your guide? Thnx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question is: Do I really need an "original" OSX dvd? Or can I use iDeneb AND your guide? Thnx... You mean you got a result but it wasn't successful? You can use both, use busratio=20 in the prompt. It all should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_donald Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 well it is almost 4 in the morning and after alot of trial and error got up to step G!!! well after installing update 10.5.6 combo... it made me restart... everything booted voodoo fine... but there is where i get the problems... if i boot in normal or safe mode i get a grey screen with the loading thing happening in the bottom 3rd and a forbidden sign in the middle in white... ran it with -v in both safe and non safe mode and get still waiting for root device what could have gone wrong???

That's a positive way to see it What I've done: - Bios settings - Boot cd - The "rd(0,1)....etc.." - And i get the line where i need to press "y" - And that's it, it hangs (a least 30 min waiting), nothing happens So i thought it was because i didn't had the original dvd...

hokkie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 same thing happened to me when i tried what you are doing... And I get the same thing as you, when I want to install iDeneb v1.3. I see the bootlogo (apple logo) with the forbidden sign... When I boot with -v or/and -x, it hangs... My biosversion is 1003, but don't think that's the reason.
