KALYWAY 10.5.1 DVD release (the official)

[d2a]

Well, your hardware should work fine. I have the same mobo and it's working fine here. What are your other BIOS settings like? Why didn't you use AHCI? Which SATA controller are you using? Also, try booting with the -v option and tell us what you see (not just the last line).

Did you only check the vanilla stuff and EFI_MBR?

 

Exactly the same board (rev2.0, same bios)? That's encouraging if so...can you list any changes you've made to your BIOS from fail safe/optimised?

 

Well, I followed the guidelines for BIOS from here (as default apart from boot from CD first, native sata, no ahci)

and also tried the guidelines from here (as default apart from boot from CD first, native sata, no ahci and no thermal cpu stuff)

 

also tried enabling, disabling various stuff, but no change.

 

didn't enable AHCI because the guides above didn't. i did try with it enabled with no success, but since there are so many other variables there's no telling if that was the culprit or not.

 

SATA controller - i've got my seagate connected to the first orange sata port, i.e. not the purple gigabyte one, the chipset one. should i change it over to the purple one?

 

boot with -v : to be clear, you mean after install, from the disk at the f8 stage? i have a video of it (only way i could catch what it said before restarting!) - it just says :

 

Loading Darwin/x86

EFI enhanced bootloader build: **** (not sure - bit blurry )

Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000f0ce0

Using ACPI BSDP revision 0 found at 0x000f6c30

 

then the screen goes blank and the machine restarts.

 

thanks for your help - any ideas or suggestions welcome.

I have revision 1.1, with BIOS F4, as you can see in my sig.

 

I used the "official" BIOS settings from Dune himself, he posted them in this thread, post 571. Make SURE you find the equivalent setting for "Execute Disable Bit." This option has a different name on our board, but I can't remember it right now. I remember finding it because I noticed the word "NX" (mentioned by Dune in other posts) in the description area on the RIGHT side of the BIOS screen when I had that option selected. Let me know if you can't find it, I'll reboot and check my BIOS and tell you the name.

 

You should really be using AHCI, this is definitely the recommended way to install this release, Dune mentions it in pretty much all his posts, and it's what actual Macs use too.

 

The Intel controller is the right one to use, in fact I recommend just disabling the JMicron piece of {censored} which has given me a lot of headaches. I guess you need it for your PATA optical, which is too bad. You could try just disabling it in your BIOS after your install, as a test, just to see if it makes a difference. You won't be able to use your optical drive, but you'll eliminate that variable at least.

 

Your boot log is just the first few lines that would always pop up I think. I was assuming the boot went past that point and gave some kind of error.

 

Good luck!

Hello

Has anyone tried this on an ASUS P5N-E-SLI yet?

I have one of those, along with an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2.2 GHz), 1 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600.

 

I have tried to boot the DVD, and I get a few errors, but it eventually gets into install mode (i haven't installed it yet).

The problem is that it works incredibly slow. The DVD takes 10 minutes to get into install mode...

 

I wonder if it's my system to blame, or does the DVD installation usually works slow?

Also, I understand that you need to boot with cpus=1 for dual core cpus to work. I have booted without cpus=1, and it worked. Do I really need to use cpus=1 to install it?

 

And also, can anyone tell me what's the best way to install OSX if I already have Vista and don't want to reinstall it? (dual boot)

 

Also, I understand there's a problem with PS2 keyboards. Will mine work?

Also, I want to ask if I will need some drivers for my sound and video.

 

Thanks in advance

Anyone know what to do with the checksum cookie and launchd errors?

[sicker6]

Guys, if i don't have an internal audio card, only soundblaster, did it work? or no audio for soundblaster users?

for tiger 10.4.5 i couln't use the soundcard. Thx

[wenecon]

For those with "blinking cursor" at boot.

this is due to a damaged first sector on your HD (don't worry it isn't physical)

I recomand you to erase the disk with zero(with diskutil). No need to wait to the end, just the first sector of the disk

need to be erased. after that , redo your partitions whatever GUID or MBR, and reinstall.

 

 

Is that the reason why it will not boot after i changed from MBR installation to a GUID installation?

On MBR Kalyway and iATKOS work fine. I repartitioned the HDD with GUID and installed Kalyway with Boot GUID.

Then the machine will not boot of the second HDD but switches back to the first HDD with Vista.

Hi!

 

I'm trying to install Leo on a Vaio VGN-FS285H Notebook:

 

- Pentium M 740 1.73ghz

- 512 Mb Ram (1gb incoming)

- Nvidia GeForce Go 6200

 

Setup often crashes:

 

but sometimes I can get it to work (don't know how and don't know why) but, after installation, Leo crashes at the first boot.

 

 

Ok. The error is the same, but what is it about? Is it for the vely little ram, or what else?

 

-EDIT-

I don't know if the error is the same:

 

img1: BSD root: disk1s2, major 14, minor 7

img2: BSD root: disk0s3, major 14, minor 2

2 GB DDR2

XFX Geforce 8600GT 256 MB (working as a charm with 10.5.2 kexts

SATA DVD-RW (Asus) - I had to change the old ATAPI which would not work

GUID boot partition on a 160GB SATA

4x500 GB SATA 2 disks on RAID 0 ( on IDE mode, will test AHCI soon)

LAN working out of the box!

MS Windows workgroup iinstantly recognized

No Audio is recognised , but most probably due to my fault at driver selection on install

will have to work on sleep (fans on case stay on)

 

Cheers,

i have another problem, please help me out.

 

my video card worked yesterday, but now it is not working. it failed to boot to my desktop, then when i reinstall it without any video card driver, it worked but its not perfect. watching videos are messed up..

 

my video card is nvidia 7600gt, can i install the driver here?

[Funakoshi]

loaded disk....load went well...on reboot:

 

b0 error

 

any ideas?

 

this is on an inspiron e1505....2 partition sata drive..both marked active

 

Duh...the search engine is my friend...

 

The b0 error occurs on bootup, if no partition is active. A solution to the problem is to insert the OS X install cd without pressing any key. When the install times out, OS X should boot from the harddisk.

 

To make a partion active, do this:

 

* Start Terminal.app

 

* Enter:

 

sudo -s (enter your password)

 

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (the disk number may be different on your installation, eg. rdisk1)

 

print (list all partitions)

 

flag 1 (sets partition 1 as bootable - might be a different number on your installation)

 

quit (answer y to save settings)

 

* Now reboot the computer. You should now be able to boot without the install cd.

[JSR]

I've found a way to install and load Leopard correctly.

At the first login everything seems to run fine... installation is ok... audio is ok... video... wait!

 

I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 6200 and I installed Nvidia drivers for notebook, but I see is just a white display.

 

Maybe I installed the wrong drivers and I hope the other nvidia drivers will work

Hello...

I am installing KALYWAY 1.5.1 on a PC with the following specs:

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe.

2 GB of Corsair Dominator RAM.

250 GB SATA HDD.

IDE DVD DRIVE (Pioneer).

 

When I install KALYWAY with the Vanilla Kernel option, my computer freezes at the gray apple logo. My hard disk is connected to the SATA 1 port and the DVD Drive is in the Intel IDE Controller.

I have tweaked my BIOS settings with all of the options I could find on forums. Still no go.

Can anyone help me? I have the latest BIOS version from the ASUS website.

Thanks in advance.

[iExplorer]

sorry to be exact says HFS + partition error

i was able to install this on a P4 3.0 Ghz / Intel 915GAV MOBO with onboard GMA900 graphics. This release works smoothly. Thanks a lot for the release and making the DVD so easy to install.

One thing as pointed out by others is that make sure you have the DVD as Secondary Master else the installation will halt and not proceed.
