Wintersun Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Dune, thanks for the reply. I have that disabled already, is this why leopard sees my cpu as a different model ? If i have cpu max id enabled in the BIOS it wont boot at all. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spadge Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Outstanding release, this works great on my Toshiba M400. Only thing I don't have is wifi, does anybody have any ideas if this pcmcia wifi card would be ok to use? http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/produc...&ProdID=264 TIA Spadge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was unable to install this release. Actually, I get the same error on other OSX86 Leopard DVDs, basically, it burns fine, starts up (take a long time though), then the DVD validation passes successfully, begins to install, but several minutes later stops with "Install Failed. Base System Package corrupt" or something to that effect. I also tried running the DVD image in Vmware to the drive, but it kernel panics. I have gotten Tiger to run with other releases, such as uphuck. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhamster Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I faced a problem . I have successfully installed Leopard but after the installation, on booting, Darwin boot would appear, it says press any key to enter start up option. After pressing any key and pressing enter, it would restart by itself. I have tried pressing -legacy, -r , cpus=1, -x, -s but the endless reboot is still there. How can I boot into leopard? Please help me, I have tried for many hours and I am really helpless Thanks in advance. My comp is P4 3.0ghz with SSE2 and SSE3 support I have installed using Mbr and I have also checked the vanilla option. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovebooze420 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I've tried multiple times to install this DVD to no avail. Here's the specs: Dell Latitude D520 Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.6Ghz 2Gb RAM Intel GMA950 Dell 1390 WLAN Mini-Card (Can boot vanilla after F8 from DVD with no problems.) Here's what I tried: 1st attempt Partitioned in GUID (One partition) EFI(GUID)+Vanilla No other options selected. Result: Failed. I got an error message 10% into the install, saying "Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. Could not validate contents of 'Base System' package. 2nd attempt Partitioned in MBR (One partition) EFI(MBR)+Vanilla No other options selected Result: Same failure. Same percentage. 3rd attempt Partitioned in MBR (One partition) EFI(MBR), no vanilla kernel Result: Same failure. Same percentage. I'm not sure what's up. The MD5 check gave me the correct hash, so that cannot be the problem. I've tried it on my desktop that was running ToH Leopard, and it failed at 21% with the same message. I've checked my BIOS settings. I have no options for Max CPUID, nor virtualization. The only option I do have is to enable/disable XD. Default was enabled, so I left it alone. I've looked into a BIOS revision, but I'm at A06 and that's the latest. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarobata Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Graphics is dependent on your graphics card. Ethernet should have worked out of the box. I have the same GA-P35-DS3L. I installed with: both vanilla options, natit, and guid boot. Everything works directly after install, except audio which requires the simple AppleHDAPatcher as you figured out. What are you guys talking about when you say both vanilla options and natit? How do I do this when I do my install with my DS3L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 your DVD is defective... burn it again. Advise : burn it at 4x and let the verification to see if there are no errors I was getting the same message too, and I had burned 3 copies of the disk. I burned at 4x (my burner won't do 2x or 2.4x apparently...), and while the verification process would give me a handful of single errors in some sectors, it'd still "pass". I burned using IMGBURN (free CD/DVD burner for Windows). I tried both DVD-R and DVD+R discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll re-burn it and give it a try. I may just chuck it and obtain it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned using IMGBURN (free CD/DVD burner for Windows). I tried both DVD-R and DVD+R discs. I'm sorry to ask, but what media did you used? and what's your burner? I had some bad experiences to burn kaly on "good medias" and the cheap ones. And got error on installation at different parts of installer and 2 times when its tried to read the bsd subsystem package to install. So I decided to try burning it in one of my left dvd-dl verbatim at 2.4x on diskutil app you really don't need to use dvd-dl to burn it, I just used this one cause its the most near to me brand high quality media I was have to choose without waiting for dvds5 verbatim/tdks come to me that i had ordered. Try to burn it on verbatins or just other best quality medias and burn at lower speeds as possible. try too to use one of those bad recording discs on other machines to see if the prob is really on the media recorded, check the md5 of .iso before burning it. better luck to you.

CaptainObvious Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 First off, sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere. I searched a little, but couldn't find anything concrete... Anyway, I'm trying to boot the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD, but it immediately tells me it can't find com.apple.Boot.plist. I burned the DVD using Nero from an ISO file that's 4.38 gigabytes*. Is it just a borked DVD burn, or is there something more sinister at play? I only had one burnable DVD at hand, so I haven't been able to try reburning it yet. Thanks in advance! * 4 697 653 248 bytes Edit: I just checked the MD5 for the ISO file: it's not the same as the one mentioned at the beginning of this thread. The MD5 for the zip file is the same, though. Could it just be a borked unzipping? PS. My first post! *does a little dance* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NautilusIII Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey guys! I am trying to install on a GigaByte X38 DQ6, with a Q6600 and Sapphire Radeon HD3870. I downloaded the 4.38GB DVD image. The DVD boots up The HDDs are detected (AHCI in Bios set). I used disk utility and formated it hpc+ with journaling (guid scheme). Then I left disk utility again Then I started install process, clicked custom. I ONLY selected the two things under Vanilla, means vanille_kernel and the ahci_fix thing. Then started the install At the very end I get "Install failed." What am I doing wrong? :-( Sorry, I am totally new to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read through all 68 pages of this thread. It would seem your making it more complicated than it needs to be. I think you should give up on that external USB drive install. I'd use "Acronis Disk Director Suite" to partition your vista drive and just let the installer boot by itself(don't even press enter). OS X hates installing on an external drive under "normal" circumstances.Oh yeah, for any one getting the failed install notice, you might try to keep the mouse cursor moving, if you see the progress bar freeze, I though it was dumb at first too.

sa666666 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just wanted to thank everyone who worked on this release, and also all the hints I've read in this thread (and I have read all the posts). Almost everything is working perfectly on my P35-DS3L system except for one thing: sleep/shutdown. When going to sleep, the system & fans shut down like they should. However, starting up again seems to reboot the system. It's almost as if sleep is actually performing a full shutdown. When trying a shutdown, however, the system powers down, but the fans are still running. Restart seems to be working fine, though. Everything else in this system is 100% supported. I installed the vanilla kernel and ACPI stuff, and am able to install updates just fine. Can anyone (Dune or Kaly) suggest what the sleep problem is. Because once this is working, it looks like I'll be moving to OSX86 full time (I'm currently a long-time Linux user). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OS X hates installing on an external drive under "normal" circumstances. Doesn't the install takes place when the GUI pops up after the Apple boot screen? Booting into the Leopard DVD doesn't point to any specific drive (that I'm aware of). Even if I partitioned my primary drive to accept Leopard, wouldn't I still have the same error message?

soybon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just installed Kalyway on a Dell inspiron 1200 (celeron) and the bloody thing just worked straight outta the box. Everything works (almost), the keyboard is perfectly mapped, trackpad works and clicks, sound and networking are flawless. I have no complaints. It might sound greedy, but I would like to get trackpad scroling working. Two finger scrolling would be best. I tried sidetrack but whenever I pull it up in prefpane, it tells me drivers weren't installed and to restart... doesn't work. I plan on trying free focused scrolling (ffs) and iscroll2, but it doesn't sound like they will help. Sorry that this is not in hardware, but every post there on this topic goes ignored and is abandoned. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
