this tutorial is not about Ideneb. what is an Ideneb clean install??

 

this raid setup is pretty easy but only for advanced users

[ClickClocks]

I already have Fully installed OSX in two configuration, one Single HD and another RAID 0 (Disk Utility) Carbon Copy from first (the second don't boot). OSX is detecting the ICH8 so I think the only THink I need is some kind of loader at the begining for the Raid Please some one point me in the right direction.

[ClickClocks]

When I do

 

"dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s3"

 

I get

 

"dd: /dev/rdisk0s2: Resource busy"

 

So I eject Raid and them I can do it but when I Do

 

"diskutil mount disk0s3"

 

I get

 

"Volume failed to mount"

 

I'm stuk here please HELP What cna I do?

Hi, I have the retail RAID installtion running for a while on a 10.5.5 with 9.5.0 Vanilla Kernel.

 

The only Problem I found out now is, that timemachine is not working (unable to find Bckup Volume).

 

I havent done the Airport update, and i tried to replaced the IONetworkingFamiliy.kext - no success...

 

Anyone a tip for me???

USE EFI String for network as per guide

[numberonekiwi]

I am using boot0 and boot1h from 132 installer and replace boot-munky.bin file that is on the EFI partition with the EFI V9 from chameleon which sits on the 200 MB hidden partition problem with the lastest boot file is that it automaticly boots to partition 4 WIN XP to select which partition to boot I need to hold down F8 which gives me options of Leopard Snow or WIN XP all of which can boot how do I change this file ( i believe it is within the file called boot )

 

This version also does not allow /Extensions to be place on the EFI partition like the boot-munky.bin did but thats no problem to put a few kext files in the leopard or snow extensions folder I highlight them in green for esential for boot and red for other devices

 

I tried putting co.apple.boot.plist in the root of EFI no luck

[Stellair]

@karaakeha-> can you give me the advantages of making a raid with 3 drives? You choose RAID5 then with 3x 300gb that gives you 600GB?

Okay, I tried, but after that my System was not bootable. Had to reload a backup of my System.

 

Can you have a look at my com.apple.Boot.plist? There might be something wrong!?

What do I have to add manually to setup Ethernet???

This should be applied ,before manual install of Chameleon

[derpuma]

Okay, is there no way to do it after the install???

 

I have a backup OS X Retail DMG with all my Programs. So if i format the Raid.

Build a new raid, Clone my Image in the new fresh formatted RAID.

Do the EFI Patches, change boot-uuid in com.apple.Bootlist, then reinstall Chameleon for RAID like in your Guide, this should work???

Or do i have to start from a fresh install?

 

BY the way, if i do an retail install from another running OS X, i should edit the com.apple.Bootlist manualy or is EFI-Tools

able to handle that?

Hi Everyone

Kraakeha's done a great job. Now how about the PC EFI V9 guide? Seems quite a few power related issues solved there.

Thanks

[battista]

Is there a way to get the four blue SATA ports (label is GS0 to GS3) supported under leopard ?

Any way to get the Sil5723 chipset going to be used for additional "normal" drives ?

[FavleX]

Hi , no one answered about the PC Efi V9 issue...anyhow..

Well another issue , I'm on F8 bios version, do you think it's a good idea update it to the F14c for any reasons ??

Thanks

[peach-os]

no success to apply dsdt patch on my bootable softraid. with the same bootloader (pcefi v9) and the same dsdt.aml file on a single disk, there is no problem with the patch. someone having the same problem? tried also with the chameleon bootloader without success.

[JaE-V]

10.5.6 guide should be interesting for Raid chameleon users i presume

[derpuma]

Yeah, it would be very nice to get a little tutorial how 10.5.6 RIAD with multiple HDD will work with Chameleon...

I use the manual Install with boot-uuid entry... Copying the bootfiles to hidden Partition...

 

Im very intrested in how this will work with 10.5.6

 

Do we have to switch from Chameleon to Boot132 or other bootloader?

To my understanding the DSDT update can still be done with Chameleon, the patch requires that or EFI v9 if i'm assuming this correctly. I'm assuming there'll just be files that we'll have to replace in the boot sector directory to crank out the update. I'm sill researching.

[peach-os]

ok - finally found the solution how to patch the raid config with dsdt

 

copy both, boot and the dsdt.aml to all boot os x partitions "diskXs3"

worked with chameleon boot version from mackerintels and fassls dsdt thread.

 

originally I expected that a boot file on the root of the raid will override the other boot file - but it won´t

I think this a very good news , before it was supposed no chance on running dsdt (deepsleed then..)with raid...or I am wrong

 

Thanks , asap my second hdd will be shipped , I try that.Unfortunately right now, I got probs with the usb devices when the system is waking up

nevertheless I will wait with the update on my raid install. I have a second install for maintenance and also to test.

10.5.6 broke my sleep on that install - it sleeps, but on wake up it does a reboot.

[VN Man]

I have the P35DS4 with soft RAID of 3 hard disks...

 

Intalled dsdt and new chameleon boot file...rebooted with out problems. So I thought that I can install 10.5.6, BIG Mistake...

 

10.5.6 install to 56%, then came half transparency screen which means system hang and requires hard reset.

 

After that only work with "-x" and "-s"....

 

So took out the reserve HD which has 10.5.4, booted with that and use Pacifist to install on to the RAID, checked that /Extra has AppleDecrypt.kext and Disabler.kext...removed AppleIntelCPU... kext file from the RAID...

 

rebooted with the RAID, the system trying to boot then HDs of the RAID seems to gone to sleep after working hard for 3 mins :-)

 

And it like that if I used -x og let it boot with default...

 

Any suggestions on how to get the system to boot from RAID again ?!

Same here ,10.5.6 sleeps ok but on wake up restarts.( But in Safe mode Sleep wake up works fine )

Also Office 2008 12.1.5 fails to launch Even on MacBook Pro

[derpuma]

The office 12.1.5 Problem is intresting. Do you have a blacklisted key? I think if you allow office to go through little snitch and Microsoft detects a blacklisted key it will block the application to start.

Same here when my little snitch stopped some time ago. Had to reinstall with another key and then it worked again...
