[How To] Install Leopard Retail DVD on ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 (core i7)

[Dennis Madsen]

I have a PC with a Asus P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard and a I7-920 CPU.

I'm trying to install Snow Leopard from this tutorial:

http://www.taranfx.com/blog/install-snow-leopard-on-pc-easy

 

I have reconfigured my BIOS with the settings specified in this thread #0.

When trying to install I got this Kernel Panic:

For me it looks like some CPU-problems?

Hope someone could help me!

 

EDIT:

I've found a solution for that problem on Google. Simply deleted a file inside the extra-folder on the USB.

Now the setup comes a step further, but after the "Darwin loading" text a screen with a loading-icon is starting. But after 2 seconds the screen is black - nothing happends. I have a Asus ENGTX260 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX260)

I have tried to install OSX, but it is imposible (the f.. raid). I have disconnected all HD and connected another HD and set this as ahci.

 

when I boot from "SlimBuild-Preboot" ok, but when I insert the osx(retail) and press enter, I'm going to kernel panic.

the messages is: local APIC version not 0x14 as espected.

Bellow is the images

 

 

Any one can help me ?

I had a similar problem. What I had to do was remove my GTX260 and install with another vid card. (I used a 7300GS) When I installed the 7300, I was able to boot from USB and install snow leopard. Then after snow leopard was installed and working, I put my GTX260 back in and it has been working fine ever since.

Hi.

 

Could anybody please upload the AppleHDA.kext.zip and EFI_pack_v3.zip somewhere?

[Johanmartin]

I have an asus p6t6 ws revolution corei7 965 and have been following MJ:s guide for installing leopard using the 10.5.6 retail CD. Everything is fine and the system starts noramly when I use the boot 1-3-2 CD. When I follow munky´s guide using the kexts in the initrd.img file or in the EFI_pack-v3, however, the system boots very slowly and runs extremly slowly. Could someone please help me?

 

Logically, If it works when using the boot 1-3-2 CD, it should also work with any bootloader using the same kexts, or am I wrong here?

have you done the dsdt and then turned back on the cores...

[Johanmartin]

I have patched the DSDT according to the instructions, but I have not turend the cores back on. Could that be the problem?

what method you using??? this is the 10.5 method...

[DominicanoG]

Im using the vanilla install I been going step by step but I get that kernel panic I have no clue what i should do, not sure if i should try another version of 132.

[Johanmartin]

Thank you very much scott_donald. It worked. I have another problem, though. It still says ACPI_SMC_platform_timed out and when I instal netkas injector and drivers for my GTX 280, the system hangs at that very line during boot. Shouldn't the patched DSDT allow appintelcpupowermangaement.kext to load. Why does it time out? Do I need to patch my DSDT again? Please help me someone.

[Johanmartin]

I have been following munky's guide, using v6.1 of his bootloader. My MOBO is an asus p6t6 ws revolution and I have an corei7 CPU.

Hi again!

 

I have been following this guide for installing leopard retail 10.5.6 on my Asus P6T6 WS revolution. Right now I have tried to get USB working for 15 hours (without sleep) I give a complete list of all my problem with this "working" leopard installation:

 

When I mount some .DMG-files, I get kernel panic.

 

My USB-keyboard and mouse works. No USB-sticks or hard-drives works.

 

When I boot without the -f flag my hard-drives show up as external hard drives and my system is considerably slower.

 

My soundblaster-5.1-surround-usb does not work either.

 

My GTX-280 does not work with QE/CI.

 

AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext does not load. In fact, it times out.

 

I relly need som help. I have listed my issues in order of priority.

I have an alc1200 audio chip..

[derpuma]

I have a ASUS P6T6 with two eSATA Ports on the back of the board.

 

Unfortunatly they are not running... So I need HELP FOR ESATA Ports.

 

Can someone give me a little help how to enable them? My Snow Retail Install with DSDT and Boot132 is running perfectly without any KP!

Regards passw.....

[horatiob]

Sorry, I know I'm late. I have the P6T Deluxe(Original with SAS) I am following this guide but i am stuck being as though the EFI pack v3 link is dead.... what to do? Thanks in Advance

[danerd]

Hello, thanks for the great guide!

 

I installed Leopard successfully. Right now I'm updating from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 and the updating is R E A L L Y slow. From 0% to 63% took like 1.5 hours and now I'm stuck at 63% with the spinning mouse (it spins 1 pixel every ~3rd minute).

 

Should I wait or should I give up and do a reinstall?

 

Thank you!

Hello everyone.

 

I have recently made major changes in the configuration and installation on this motherboard.

I want to share this news with you.

A new functional DSDT with additional Vanilla SpeedStep works wonderfully with Leopard and Snow Leopard

 

-->> Look at the post number #202 of this link.

Hey guys,

 

I successfully installed Leopard on my P6T using this guide except with some minor tweaks (mainly the AppleRTL8169Ethernet and ALC1200 drivers). I did the DSTD patch, but I'm "only" getting 7 cores (according to System Profiler), is this normal? If it isn't, what am I doing wrong?

 

Btw, I would try iFabio's patch but I read about the overclocking and I really didn't want to try that.

Overclocking?

 

The DSDT that I mod has no overclocking function inside! Yep included the turbo function... but this is basic option in all the P6T Deluxe motherboard, then the system will work' normaly

 

I personally use a configuration with stock speed.

You do overclock with BIOS not with the DSDT ...

After that everyone has their tastes ..

 

Recall that the latest BIOS problems if patched from scratch.

I used iFabios DSDT on overclocked system BIOS 1804 and it works fine, even when I removed the overclock.
