Sleep does not work when a keyboard is present.

Sleep works for me (Logitech S530).

 

can we have a few more posts about the raft of current updates, does this kill the system?

 

Time Machine and AirPort Updates v1.0 is safe to install, you need to replace kernel with netkas 9.2.0 patched if sleep/reboot/shutdown stops working (info).

 

Security Update 2008-002 v1.0 (Universal) is safe to install (info).

 

Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 (Leopard) is safe to install (info).

Thanks to LS8! Im on Vanilla!

 

I managed to download the V7 script, and followed it without a glitch

 

I now have a Leopard 10.5.2 fully working, I was using Kalyway but had the restart issue and sleep issue which is much much better now.

 

Has anyone tried this on Leopard Server, should it work?

 

Thanks guys for all your help!

First, thanks ls8 for the guide. I installed everything from a previous kalayway install and it all went smooth.

 

I do have one hiccup though, a never ending fade to blue/fade to desktop cycle. I first discovered it after the initial install. System Prefs are defaulted to send the machine to sleep. I was away and came back to the computer sleeping, I attempted to wake it.. it woke up to my desktop but then faded to blue, then faded to the desktop again and continued this cycle until I manually rebooted. I've since disabled sleep but I've discovered this issue occurs when waking the monitors after they have been shut off due to the power settings.

 

I've also noticed this a few times on boot up, a fade to blue and back maybe twice before the machine is perfectly fine. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. This is a direct install from the method in the first post, I haven't swapped any ktexts, etc.

 

One more issue I just had this morning was my first shutdown attempt resulted in the machine rebooting. Not sure if these have been explained since I haven't read through all of the 24 pages so apologies if they have.

 

My Specs:

GA-P35-DS4 Rev 2.0

Intel Q6600 @ 2.4ghz

GSkill 4gb DDR2 ram 800mhz

250GB sata

500GB sata

EVGA 8800GT 256mb

ls8, you're the man! I just installed it on my pc and it's gonna work. The reason i'm saying "it's gonna" is because i can't use my ps2 keyboard and mouse. I booted my old iAtkos i1.0r3 and copied the ApplePS2Something.kext to my new harddrive but it still doesn't work. I keep getting a message that i have to plug in my keyboard. Does anyone have an idea how i could solve this?

 

Btw, i also found a little 'error' in your pre-patch script. I made 2 partitions on my harddrive and your script unmounts the partition where i'm gonna install Leopard. But the other partition also has to be unmounted because else the dd with boot0 command doesn't work. So i did it manually and got everything to install just fine.

 

EDIT: I just tried with the usb keyboard of a friend of mine and that worked, but now the welcome screen that you get on a fresh install keeps looping after i click "Do not transfer my information now.". It then waits a while and displays the leoperd welcome movie again until i click on the "Do not transfer my information now." button again.

I am all fully updated with no apparent problems.

 

Quick couple of questions..

 

1) Does anyone else have problems opening disk utility? i open it and all i get is our good friend the beach ball (all other drives are ntfs, in process of changing over)

***EDIT*** my SATA DVD drive has taken to falling off its bus again like it did when i used jmicron.ktext and 4GB of ram, this ktext has been removed so not sure what the problem could be***

 

2) I have found a slight performance increase (noted by xbench) in running the bios setting for hpet to 64bit, anyone else concur?

 

Cheers

Unfortunatelly the new driver has the old bug - connection configured by DHCP doesn't work after wake from sleep. You still need static (manual) IP configuration.

ad 1/ disk utility works for me, no problems

 

OK the problems I was having was because my dvd drive was falling off the bus. I rebooted and got the same issue and i noticed it was the dvd drive that was casing disk util to lock up, on the 3rd reboot everything was fine with the drive and disk util worked without fault.

 

Have you noticed your drives behaving in the same way?

Hi ls8,

 

Well done. :D I really enjoyed your guide although I don't have GA-P35-DS4. I was writing some scripts for my friends whom I helped to install OS X and I found your scripts, which are quite similar to mine. I thought that I may share what I have.

 

pre-patch.sh

  1. It is better to quote the value of DESTINATION because a user might name the volume with white spaces. E.g. A user could use Lex Luther as a volume name. Also it's safe to check if the user indeed sets this value.
    DESTINATION=""
if [ -z "$DESTINATION" ]; then
read -e -p "Specify a target volume: " DESTINATION
fi


  2. It's not unreasonable for a user to use volume names which share a prefix. E.g. A user could use Euler and Eulerian for volume names. Then your DISK and PART return multiple target values if the user sets DESTINATION to Euler. I think it's better to obtain PART first from DESTINATION and check if PART is indeed unique. Then set DISK from PART.
    # The definition of PART should be written on a single line. It eliminates the prefix problem.
PART=`diskutil list | grep "[[:space:]]\+$DESTINATION[[:space:]]\+[[:digit:]]\+.[[:digit:]] [KMGT]i[[:space:]]\+disk[[:digit:]]s[[:digit:]]$" | grep -o "disk[[:digit:]]s[[:digit:]]$"`
# The following line ensures the uniqueness of the volume.
if [ -z "$PART" ]; then
echo "$DESTINATION doesn't exist or is not mounted."
exit 1
elif [ -n "`echo $PART | grep [[:space:]]`" ]; then
echo "There are more than one volume with $DESTINATION."
exit 1
fi
# Obtain DISK from PART. 
DISK=${PART%%s[[:digit:]]}


  3. It is better to figure out the partition type to decide whether or not to execute two dd commands than to rely on users' memory. To do so,
    GUID=`diskutil info $DISK | grep "Partition Type:" | grep -o "GUID"`
if [ -n "$GUID" ]; then
sudo dd ...
sudo diskutil unmountDisk $DISK
sudo dd ...
sudo diskutil mountDisk $DISK
fi


  4. At the end of the script, it's safe to check the integrity of the disk.
    sudo diskutil repairVolume $DISK


post-patch.sh

  1. When the volume name is not unique, there's no guarantee that /Volumes/$DESTINATION is indeed the right one. Assuming you have defined DESTINATION, PART, and DISK as above, it's safe to get DESTINATION again from PART.
    DESTINATION=`diskutil info $PART | grep "Mount Point:" | grep -o "/Volumes/.\+$"`
KEXTDIR="$DESTINATION/System/Library/Extensions"

    Then use "$KEXTDIR" instead of /Volumes/$DESTINATION/System/Library/Extensions. If you need other than "$KEXTDIR", you can use "$DESTINATION" (which was /Volumes/$DESTINATION before).

  2. For the last command, it's better to be direct.
    sudo diskutil repairPermissions $PART


Finally I have one question. Is there a reason that you have two patch scripts? I run, after OS X installation, a single patch script which installs EFI and modified kexts. I couldn't find any difference between installing-EFI-before-Leopard-installation and installing-EFI-after-Leopard-installation.

 

Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you, Stravaganza. I will definitely use your ideas in future versions.

BTW As I think about it now, there is no reason to have two patches, I will merge them into a single script.

Please DONT! I use both scripts interchangeably. Quite often if I'm cloning a drive I'll use the EFI script to make the drive bootable, and I have even used the second script to replace the kexts on another drive.

 

It's more useful to have two. For me it doesn't matter so much because I can write my own scripts, but for others, well let's see what they want...

@LS8 -> Hi what procedure would be the one without less hassle, yours or that from LTL? I did already an install of 10.4.7 till 10.4.10 on IBM's but 10.5 is unknown for me.

 

I'm following the GA-P35-DS4 for a while now in order to see if most of the things can work. When I read both post (LS8 and LTL) I can see that many things have been corrected.

 

I would begin with your guide because you seems to have everything working. The only thing is that your guide is less explicit than that from LTL...

 

I've got an 7800GT, would I change it for a 8800GT or is it a waste of money?

Hi, I can't figure out what I did wrong. I have a feeling it's something simple. When I try to boot into the hard drive where I followed your process, I get the errors:

 

"localhost mDNSresponder[26]: couldn't read user specified Computer Name; using default bMacintosh-"bunch of numbers and letters" instead"

 

... local hostname ...

... Computer Name ...

... local hostname ...

 

I'm using GA-EP35-DS4, WD 500GB, Q6600, 2x2GB GSkill, EVGA 8800GT 512MB, ASUS WL138g (wireless), and the retail Leopard DVD

I had the 8800GT and did not like it's performance under OS X, i got the ATI 3870 and i'm uber happyGL...
Of course I recommend my procedure. It is easy and almost fully automatic.
Was just in Zurich... had a great time, great country BTW...was nice to see the snow!

I'm grateful that you've done a great service to GA-P35-DS4 users like me. It allowed me to continue working, though a couple of minor issues which I could not figure out.

 

Having said that, I reinstalled with Leo4Allv2, and everything just works. My bluetooth, sleep and problematic firewire problems are all gone.

Glitches were all solved by Leo4Allv2 Known Issues.

So, if you are still having problem like me, try out Leo4Allv2. It worked beautifully. Check out osx86 project HCL which I put in.

Hi.

 

I have a problem with running games. It seems to be a graphic problem.

 

I had serious trouble with running my 8800GT and finally got it to run. The problems I had earlier had to do with an VGA-DVI-Adapter for my second VGA Display not suitable for the DVI of the 8800GT. Since i used the included adabter the problems are gone and the graohic card runs stable - in Leopard.

 

But now I experience problems with running games it seems. I try to run Tomb Raider Anniversary, but after a while (a few minutes playing it), i get screens as the graphic card is defect (blue, red, green screens, screens with green stripes etc).

 

By the way, i tried two different brands of GC with NVidia 8800GT chipsets. And I run the Cards with EFI string for 8800GT.

 

Has anybody experienced something like this? Is it a hardware problem of my hackintosh (mainboard etc.) or a driver problem instead?

 

Cheers,

 

Professor©

 

Update: Seems like Graphic Cards do not have a good quality these days. The problems were the results of bad hardware. Both graphic cards were defect. I have now a new Point of View NVidia 8800GT, which works flawlessly with all games and all resolutions.
