P5K-SE - Retail Leopard Instalation

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Strange, shutdown/restart issue was to be fixed installing pc efi v9 from universal installer

 

about your graphics card, it is reported to have some issues

 

 

Good It worked there

 

 

 

 

Update: It Worked

Ok after some trial and error i finally got to work and found out what the problem was.

The problem i had was a blue screen after the apple logo, first i thought it was a specific kext, but after some trial and error this didn't work. Then i found out that the video driver was another one i always used. So i did everything like the tutorial except the resolution setting, video driver and none of the extra kexts. Instead i installed the driver for the ati 3870 from the Iatkos 10.5.5 boot dvd and nothing else and that did the trick for me.

It booted fine into 10.5.6. Afterworth i could install some kexts with osxtools like ethernet, sound, ps/2 keyboard all from pcwiz website. The only thing is, shutdown still doesn't work, i get the hold power button message. I tried a lot of different workarrounds but still nothing.

Hi,

 

For some reason I can't seem to burn this boot cd properly. I have used toast and a few linux apps.

The cd is simply not read as bootable for some reason.

 

If anyone has had this problem and can recommend a burning parameter please tell me.

 

Thank You in Adavance.

I had to use a different dvd dl burner to get it to burn succesfull ( LG external usb). Normal dvd+r's give no problems but my standard drive didn't like the dual layer media i guess.

 

Jimmy or anybody else: did you do anything to the bios besides the default settings? I have audio and ide disabled because i don't need them. But i think i'm gonna try to intall with those settings enabled.

 

I ask this because i tryed different video injectors and efi strings. The efi strings lock my machine almost completly.

 

And i should be able to start it in -x safemode but it doesn't so i think there is something else that is bothering my machine. Although it only shows when i use a 'driver' for my videocard.

 

Btw with injectors i can remove them in single user mode but efi trings i can't edit because nano tells me the file is readonly. So i have to reinstall the system when i want to use a different efi string. Haven't tryed the gfx strings though because the guides i found are not really transprant. Yet

 

Thanks!

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Try to get a solution from the HCL, the ..GS video cards from nvidia need more work I guess

 

try looking here for a solution for your card (link)

 

...

 

Thanks!

 

Well, with toast 9, I just drag the ISO to the window, and click burn, normaly using a DVD-RW media...

 

weird, very... I myself installed to an external drive using this ISO, give it a try...

[RAW2019]

Thanks Jimmy. I bought this card because of it being used correct in de HCL.

 

Can you tell me anything about your bios settings? Or are they all standard? I read somewhere that gray apple screen freezes have something to do with bos settings.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Try to set to defaults, then enable ahci if it is not, if you don´t see the option it is probably set as default

 

Try disabling the LAN, and make some tests...

 

use -v to see where it gets stuck

[RAW2019]

Thanks Jimmy. Is it know that lan enabled can mess up your system? I never tryed without so i'll give it a try.

[Steve Rogers]

I try the 123 but don't do boot here and i have the erro "still waiting for root device" what can i do?

SO, LET´S START...

 

1- DOWNLOAD "EVERYTHING" FIRST

• BURN THE BOOT 123 FOR P5K MOBOS CD FIRST...
  
• BURN THE INSTALATION DVD WITH NERO BURNING ROOM, TOAST TITANIUM OR WHATHEVER..
  
• COPY THE NECESSARY FILES TO A CD, DVD OR PENDRIVE!
  

2- BOOT WITH BOOT 123 DVD, AFTER LOADING, PRESS "ESC" THEN REPLACE IT WITH THE DE RETAIL LEOPARD 10.5 DVD, PRESS ENTER, AND PRESS ENTER AGAIN, LET IT LOAD, AFTER BOOTING CHOOSE THE LANGUAGE TO USE, BLA, BLA, BLA!

BEFORE INSTALLING, YOU SHOULD SET UP YOUR HARD DISK PARTITION AS GUID, SELECT THE WHOLE DISK, IN OPTIONS YOU´LL SEE GUID, MBR, ETC..., CHOOSE GUID, AND GIVE IT A NAME!

 

3- IN THE INSTALATION OPTIONS SELECT THE PRINTER DRIVER IF YOU NEED

 

4- PROBABLY YOU WILL HAVE AN INSTALATION ERROR IN THE END, IGNORE IT! AND REBOOT

 

5 - BOOT WITH THE BOOT 123 DVD FOR P5K MOBOS AGAIN! PRESS ESC AFTER LOADING, AND NOW YOU WILL TYPE A NUMBER FOR THE HARD DISK YOU HAVE INSTALLED MAC OS X IN, FOR THE FIRST HARD DISK TYPE " 80 ", FOR THE SECON HARD DISK TYPE " 81 " AND PRESS ENTER.. IT WILL BOOT MAC OS X IN RETAIL MODE.

 

6- YOU WILL SEE THE FANCY VIDEO FROM APPLE, CONFIGURE YOUR ACCOUNT, BLA, BLA, BLA...

 

7- NOW RUN THE MAC OS 10.5.6 COMBO UPDATE, AND INSTALL IT! DO NOT REBOOT YET!

 

8- RUN THE DSDT Patcher GUI, SELECT MAC OS X, THEN THE BOOT DEVICE, AND CLICK RUN DSDT Patcher

 

9- AFTER THAT, YOU NEED TO RUN THE UNIVERSAL OSx86 INSTALLER " UInstaller.app "

• CHOOSE THE HARD DRIVE TO APPLY TO:
  
• SET THE BOOT TIME THING.. (ONLY IF YOU NEED)
  
• SET NATIVE BOOT RESOLUTION.. (MINE IS 1440 X 900)
  
• CHECK THE INSTALL PC_EFI_V9 OPTION... (NECESSARY, VERY!)
  
• APPLY ETHERNET EFI STRING....
  
• APPLY EFI STRING FOR VIDEO CARD (SELECT YOURS)
  

10- INSTALL CUSCOM KEXTS FROM HD, RUN THE P5K-SE INSTALLER (link) AND REBOOT WITHOUT THE BOOT 123 CD/DVD!

*NOTE 1:IF YOU WANT SLEEP TO WORK, TRY THIS SOLUTION (link)

*NOTE 2:IF YOU ENABLE SLEEP, BE AWARE THAT LAN (ATTANSIC) WILL NOT WORK RIGHT AFTER IT, TO DO SO, OPEN THE TERMINAL AND TYPE " attansic " TO REENABLE IT!

 

11- AS A FINAL STEP, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SET SELECT "LINE OUT" IN THE SOUND PREFERENCES LOCATED IN THE SYSTEM PREFERENCES

 

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Has anyone gotten the P5K Deluxe WiFi card to work in Leopard 10.5.5? Mine is recognized in my system profiler as a USB device. I've installed a newer version of the

driver posted here that I got from Realtek after e-mailing them. The extension is in the

extentions folder,but I don't know how to configuer it. The version offered here has a utilitiy program,but I couldn't get it to connect. Any help or suggestions welcome.

[leviathanley]

Thank you for the help but I am sorry to say that I have encounter two new problems.

 

I got it working yay! Thanks for the advice. Then I made a boot-132 usb booting disc and everything minus sound was working. Then when I updated to 10.5.6 I lost my network card.

 

I am using the on-board ethernet in the Asus P5K/EPU and my Sound is 883. I thought I added the kexts properly but it is still not working.

 

Does anybody know which kexts I should remove from the boot disc and which to add.

 

Cheers

 

PS. Also I plan on moving this to munky efi partition setup so do I have to edit an efi string or something.

[gielie]

My wifi works but only with the realtek app, and not with airport, i have not found a solution for this.

[Steve Rogers]

I forgot to say, i use a IDE DVD.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

It works fine here, but in any case, get any other p35 chipset iso from boot123 project page

Sorry man, but some IDE DVDs are not supported, get a SATA DVD and no errors will occur!

Set the jmicron to ahci istead of ide, this wil do the trick.

[Nappy619]

so your using the driver from this thread? This seems to be a driver for Tiger. Thats funny;Realtek has Leopard drivers that don't work. Maybe thats why you have to e-mail them to get it. I'll try it

again.

 

Thanks gielie

[Steve Rogers]

I can´t find in the bios.

[kinglevel]

My boot123 wont work at all.

Its says that its not bootable.

I even tried the 123 iso in a virtualmachine, it couldnt boot it either...??

 

EDIT:

 

I Tried an other boot 123 disk, DellMiniboot123v7.8, it worked in the virtualmachine as a iso... something is wrong with the p5k family 123 image...

 

EDIT2:

 

I downloaded this

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=144959

Worked in virtualmachine too, trying for real soo

Well.. it booted, but it was an error.

 

Topic hoster should reupload the 123 image again, the file could be currupted

I agree with this poster. About a month ago I grabbed the BOOT123 image from the original link provided and it worked, but I never got around to the install (I booted the 123 disc but thats as far as I got, got busy with life ). There's got to be something wrong with the image; 7 blank coasters and two SATA drives later I've given up trying to get it to boot. The reason I'm grabbing all the files again is I'm ready to give it a go and it looks like most, if not all the files I grabbed a month ago have been updated.

 

btw, somebody mentioned grabbing another P35 BOOT123 image from the project page...couldn't find it . But I'll still wait for a good P5KSE Boot123 image after all.

 

Cheers

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Try this one..

heh, "burnme.iso"...with blind faith I burned it and...it worked! Thank you for the link. Now I'm getting the dreaded "EBIOS read error........" and from what I've just culled from a quick search it appears it should go away if I make another burn at a slower speed. And away we go....... I shoulda stuck with my working Kaliway(sp?) 10.5.2 install but NOOOOOOO, I saw this thread and have pretty much the same hardware and here I am

 

cheers

[gielie]

I use this app ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/wlan/87_Mac10.4_v1309.zip

workes fine only no airport support

[Jimmy Mallmann]

There are 2 possibilities, your dvd is faulty for booting or your mobo has a glitch...

 

the ISO I made should deal with the ebios error.. but you said you can´t use it....

Hi Jimmy, I wasn't exactly clear in my response to you. Your ISO worked perfectly, it was my OSX install disc that had the problems. A reburn was required and all went fairly well so, again, thanks for that.

I found I had to move my Logitech Bluetooth receiver right to the computer though as the keyboard and mouse wasn't being recognized in the USB hub (as it is under Windows). After a fairly painless install, I'm up and running but I now have to figure out how to get the Bluetooth receiver to work under MAC through the USB hub. I think its related to a USB issue rather than a Bluetooth issue as I know the BT receiver worked off the hub in Kaliway.
