KALYWAY 10.5.1 DVD release (the official)

[Kreed]

I have a MSI NX 7900 GTO (512MB). If i have selected the NVinject, the boot goes normally but after the grey apple, the screen goes blue to black and stays like this. If i boot -x with NVinject, i could change resolution to 76hz and my monitor (VGA with DVI adaptator) is well detected.

Without NVinject, the boot is normal but i could not change resolution (1024*768@60hz) and my monitor is not recognized.

 

 

Thanks! the -x got me to the desktop now to work on the video card driver.

[Kreed]

So as it turns out I had the nvidia 512MB BIOS bug.

 

My fix was here.

 

Boot darwin with 512MB nvidia card

 

Where they even had an already patched BIOS for my 7900GTO

 

All booting fine now, thanks for the suggestions.

Hi! I am trying to install this Kalyway release on my Hp NC8430 laptop, without success.

 

No matter what I enter on the bootload-part (after F8), I cant get past the grey Apple-logo screen. And if (happened two/three times) I get past is, the installation crashes the moment I choose language (chose English, and the mouse pointer turns into the rainbow-fan thing). I tried waiting a few hours, to see if it would get any further, but no luck. If I choose vanilla kernel, I can't get any response from neither my touchpad or my joystick (in the middle of the keyboard) when I reach the language choice screen.

 

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong here?

What are the specs of your laptop? CPU/Video, etc, etc

[defiacnenl]

first off all, boot the DVD with "-v -f"

 

see WHY its hanging at the grey apple screen.

Then reboot and boot DVD with "-s"

 

It will now tell you whats causing the problem...

 

Unpack The iso to your HDD

 

1. Remove faulty kexts from /System/Library/Extensions

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/FaultyExtension.kext

 

Repack the DVD

 

 

 

 

reboot !

 

and please, i know its very difficult on this forum since its so crowded and full of "help me

" threads,

but PLEASE SEARCH for previous answers, all of this has been answered more then 10 times before in other threads

I'm in shock!!

 

I'm running this release on the following system:-

 

HP dv1000 1.7Ghz Intel Centrino Mobile Core Solo (SSE2 Only)

 

1GB RAM

 

Intel GMA900 128MB - That's right folks GMA900!! And its working fine!! Videos, QE/CI fully functional even though System Profiler says its not supported lol!

 

Sound - Working fine..

 

Network - Built-in ethernet working fine, havent tried the Intel PRO 2200 b/g Wireless yet..

 

Leopard looks great, obviously slightly sluggish but i cant complain.. didnt think it would even run!!

 

Fan constantly on unfortunately.. but hopefully its because of the heating up during installation..

 

Need to get PowerManagement working , as it think mine's a Mac Pro lol..

 

Its definitely working better than Vista was lol

 

Awesome work Kaly!!! Your 10.4.10 worked perfectly and now this.. absolute genius!ù

 

Now its obviously not the Vanilla kernel, coz it doesn't support Core Solo processors, so would it be safe to install the security update?

 

EDIT - Wake from sleep working perfectly as well!!! That wasn't even working on Tiger!!!

 

Fan is turning off it looks like.. but its going on/off way too often.. doesn't bother me though

Not really. I've been watching this thread for a few days now, hoping this problem gets a reply. Agreed, it's not a common issue - only three people so far have it, four if you include me. Until now, there was no solution posted.

 

In my case, I've never seen the installer - I haven't even gotten to the beach ball cursor in about a dozen tries. Booting in verbose mode doesn't print any problems. After the resolution switch (without -v, this would be the step where you got the gray apple logo), it continues to load some stuff, start some services like mDNSResponder, then it boots to a blueish screen. My guess is this would be the installer background - but no window pops up, no top menu bar, and no mouse pointer. I've waited for a while, and nothing. Worse thing is - there is no hard disk / dvd activity, so it's probably just stuck.

 

System: an Acer laptop, Intel Celeron M 1.8 GHz (SSE2), 1GB RAM, Intel i915 integrated video board. I know that, so far, the failure rate for SSE2 systems is high.

 

I have no BIOS options. Well, nothing relevant anyway - just boot order, video memory to allocate to the i915, enable/disable LAN, that kind of stuff. None of the BIOS options suggested in this thread are available to me.

 

I've checksummed the image (on a Linux, I know XP has issues with MD5 on large files) - and it's OK. I've burned it to 2 DVD-R and one DVD-RW, on XP and Linux, with no errors. So it can't be that.

 

Kinda stuck atm. Annoying, I can't even troubleshoot the damn thing - I have no control in this stage.

 

Hoping the iATKOS SSE2 release will work, but until January I'll probably download and install a 10.4.8 JaS release - older Mac is still better than no Mac

 

 

Cheers,

Alex

I am playing with this installation cuz I want to fix the insomnia. I tired to use both vanilla_kernel and vanilla_acpi_fix With this combination, it won't go to sleep and also the screen saver wont come on. But if I install only the vanilla_kernel, the screen saver works but still won't go to sleep.I wonder what kernl.kext is resposible for these functions?What does the vanilla_acpi_fix actually fixes? Is it necessary to install it even my laptop works fine with just the vanilla_kernel?

With"-v -f", i got this (the last thing it printed before stalling):

ACPI: System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)

 

With "-s" I got this:

Does this mean anything to you? I can't get anything out of this, except for the fact that it isn't working, and I don't know why.

 

 

Thanks anyway..

Intel PRO Wireless 2200 b/g from iwidarwin bricked my install :S

 

Power Management worked just fine..

 

For some reason, i noticed that the OS X Tiger on the 2nd partition got bricked as well!! I'm not sure if it was because of the wireless, but it gives me the "please restart your computer" error on boot, just like Leopard is giving me after i installed the wireless......

Here's a list of post numbers in this topic that look informative. It is NOT comprehensive, but for those of you wanting to install I recommend reading them before you ask questions, in case your problems have already been addressed.

Hello guys.

 

This is my configuration for the PC :

 

Motherboard:

CPU Type DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo, 1866 MHz

Motherboard Name Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe (2 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Dual Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)

Motherboard Chipset nVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 Intel Edition

 

Display:

Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT (256 MB)

3D Accelerator nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT

And i have 2 HDD both on S-ATA.

 

After i select to boot from DVD i get to the apple-screen wait a few minutes and then i head the sound of a hard drive turning off ( like i;m turning off my computer from windows) and then i get a message which tells me to turn off my pc or restart it.

 

I tried booting with -v and after loading all those files i heard that sound from the HDD and now i'm getting a n error like this :

 

CoreRAIDserver not responding ....

 

and after that no more action ...

I wonder if you need to use the boot option of "cpus=1". I think this first showed up (in this thread) for post 147link to post

Alex,You system is at least simplar to mine Dell i9300. My Kally Install thread.I can't say I had the same problem. Mine did not get as far as the blue installer screen. My question to you is:Did you use the -legacy boot option? Mine did not need that boot option for the dvd, however the post install needs that option.If you get further, you might want to NOT select any video drivers at the installer. My lockups were the video dirver themselves. When I installed with no video drivers, I goot a clean install with no lockups.

[dslite]

can anyone tell me where can i get the kalyway 10.5.1 please?

[eXcalibUr88]

Hi! this installer resolved my problem installing leopard on my sse2 machine. I also have a pentium M 1.5 ghz.. ToH installer caused my system to lock up after loading the Io buffer and headers.

 

After the installation, it just freezes on the white apple screen, no activity from the HDD. I checked verbose and found out that it is stopping when it tries to load the RTL8139, my nic card. Have to tweak the IONetworkingFamily.kext to use orbyte's pcgenrtl8139. I also used AppleSMBIOS.kext from tiger, was not sure if that helped fix the problem.. QE and CI are the only ones left not working.. Have to work on that still..

 

This is the best leopard release so far. Thanks kalyway and dune!

[FutureShock]

Has someone run this on a Gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard? I just can not get this too boot After a successful installation all I get is a blinking cursor after I reboot Do I have to disabled some option in the BIOS? Do I have to disable AHCI or Native mode? Please help me

OK guys, I'm going to add to the fray here:

 

First of all, thank you all for the good work and great info. I've gotten my Toshiba A105-S4014 lapotp up and working to near perfection. I've got a few questions, comments, and or concerns.

• I installed using the vanilla kernel, and then the one with the ACPI fix. They both gave me interesting results. Going with plain vanilla, if I power down using the power button it seems the harddrives are put to sleep and the screen, but not the fan, and the power light stays on... However, if I used the ACPI fix, the power button doesn't work, but if I use sleep through the menu it actually puts everything to sleep and the power lights turn amber. Interesting I think, any ideas here?
  
• Powermanagement bundle--I've tried some (and yes, I don't remember what they were makes it hard to troubleshoot doesn't it?), but I haven't had much success. Any ideas from some people out there that have it working?
  
• I think i've got this darn signature thing set up, but if not... I''ve got a TOS A105-S4014 Intel Core Duo processor. I had to use a patch to get USB and Audo working. I also had to use the natit patch to fix mouse tearing with the GMA 950. Other than the sleep and power management the thing seems very cherry. I've had a few lock ups, but those mostly seem to come when time machine is doing its "way back" thing... I guess in lamens terms that would be while it is backing up.
  

Any help or ideas would be great, and if any one needs some advice let me know, not sure how good it will be, but maybe I can help you out.

 

Thanks

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.

But err I am installing on the same drive as I have Vista installed already, so I can't "erase with zeroes" or "redo" my partitions or Vista would disappear.

 

So, how can I do that with another partition on a drive that has Vista installed on it?

[Cohen The Barbarian]

can anyone tell me where can i get the kalyway 10.5.1 please?

 

Use Google and search...some torrent sites have it. Forum rules do not allow links to the software or open discussion on where to acquire it. It's a very delicate line we walk here and we don't want Apple lawyers rushing in.

Try to do a FIXMBR in repair mode with your vista install disk
