Leo4All-10.5.2 Universal AMD/INTEL[SSE2/SSE3]

[rh535]

First off, great build!!! First time ever to get Leo running I have a quick question. What drivers should i use for graphics and network?

 

MOBO - ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard

 

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400

 

MEM - Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

 

GPU - EVGA 320-P2-N817-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB

 

Network port on motherboard - Marvell 88E8053

Try doing an EFI-GFX string. Maybe you will have better luck. Another option is just trying differnt NVinjects. Once your Device ID is in the Nvidia kexts its just a matter of Leopard enabling it properly via NVinject or GFX string. There are some good tutorials out there to follow so I won't write one here.

 

Thanks, I have been trying out some strings but they seem to not work for me. I also ave tried to force my native resolution, but than I get the reboot issue before the kernel even loads. I will keep trying though.

Hey Eddie,

I had a question. Is there any chance that this version of leopard has support for the Nforce 560 built in? Could you let me know, thank you.

I was just wondering if it was possible to get it to work with it, I'm downloading right now btw, via torrent.

See those are the exact same as mine, I could not move them to AppleVIAATA or my system would not work from the installer. Is your DVD SATA or IDE? What port is it on(Master or Slave)? Do you also have IDE disk drive or just SATA? I think this is not so much a problem of the chipset as it is a configuration issue.

You could post your Device ID's and I could check if they are included. But I won't be able to tell you if its compatible, as I don't have that chipset to test. You could look in the Driver forums and read through Medevils thread on Nforce SATA to see if its mentioned. I am not a driver guy, so I am not coding a new version, I just make a package that is as compatible as possible with whats out there.

My DVD rom is IDE and I tried switching it from master to slave but no change. I have both a IDE hard drive and a sata hd and I seem to get the same results with both. My IDE HD is on the same cable as my DVD. Always wants to give me the Sam multimedia error or a sigsegv error after it loads the applenforceata kext

[WinLinMac01]

Try installing on your SATA HD from your IDE CD/DVD Drive. There were some fixes floating around once. Do a Google search and let us know.

[Medo145]

i think i realize what the issue is, maybe.

 

so i got patch 2 and i applied it to the iso with patch 1 on it already. i installed it with vanilla 9.2.2 realtek sound drivers the nvidia kexts and nvinject 256, and unchecked the translation languages which is like 1.9gigs.

 

booted up, sound is working, graphics are working properly. then i restarted, and everything worked then too. then i went to shut down. i seen a couple of lines in the terminal then the lcd shut off, but the laptop was still running. same thing happened with the restart but it restarted eventually after a min or so, but on shutdown it wouldn't shut down so i forced it to shut down with the power button.

 

the next time i booted it up the start up was different. normally it looks like it's going into safe mode because of the big letter at the beginning. now it goes straight to the small letters after a few lines of the big ones. now when i get into the os i have the same problem as before which is keyboard and mousepad not responding.

 

what did i do? is this fixable or do i have to reinstall? i don't mind reinstalling, but is there a way to prevent this from happening? hope someone understands what i'm saying here lol.

 

thanks

I am not sure what your problem is, make sure natit is loaded properly. perhaps it had a permissions issue and was not fully loaded. Just repair all the permissions. Alternately if you go on the DVD and open the package GMA950 with pacifist. You can extract the files to your desktop or somewhere and use kexthelper to reinstall them. Just remember to boot with -f afterwards to force the cache to reload.

 

How can I see that Natit is loaded properly?

 

I tried your script to remove the graphic drivers first. Started it with double click, typed in 3 (for intel) and hit several times enter. That did not work out- The terminal wrote "permission denied". Maybe I did something wrong here.

 

After that I deleted framebuffer kext, natit and gma950 kext manually and restarted. Now I was still at 1024 * 768 but without qe/ci.

 

After that I installed framebuffer, natit, gma950 one by one, set permissions with kexthelper, repaird permissions with extensions-repair and restarted every time with -f.

 

Now all three kexts are reinstalled and I am back at qe/ci but - again - the only available screen resolution is 1024 * 768.

 

Is there another way to fix this? Does anybody else have this problem?

 

By the way: Audio is working too, although there is no entry at "build in audio" at "about this mac".

 

GREAT RELEASE!

I cant get any disk to install that uses the applenforceata.kext. The only Leopard disk I can get t o install is iAtkos v1.0 which I believe is due to that release doesn't use the nforceata.kext. The iatkos wont boot in Mac Osx after it installs due to it doesnt support AMD setups. Whenever I try to boot the iatkos after the install i get the SigServ device 0 error.

 

 

If I was to go buy a new Motherboard that doesn't use the Nforce Chipset but will support my AMD 4200+ 64 Dual Core, which motherboard or chipset would u guys recommend that seems to be the most stable with AMD rigs?

[andybno1]

ok firstly this is my pc: http://www.packardbell.co.uk/products/desk...X08301-900.html

 

before I got to the install part of the setup I was getting the following onscreen:

I ran install selecting vanilla kernel and sound & graphics drivers along with the approprriate network driver.

 

now installation completed and pc auto boots to vista, when I rebooted and pointed my pc to the USB drive the this installed to and get the following:

Thanks for this release. Here's the problem I have: I'm running a Santa Rosa-based Dell 1720 laptop (with x3100) and after I install, every time I reboot I have to start with the -f option, otherwise the keyboard and trackpad don't respond. I have to shut it off and restart using that -f switch in order for them to work.

 

Any ideas what might be going on?

 

Thanks

When I try booting the dvd from my dvd drive inside my laptop it won't run, it says waiting for root device. I have problems with my dvd drive so i decided to try boot it from an external usb dvd drive (LG Super Multi DVD writer). This time it boots up into the install menu. However, when I go to install the operating system, no hard drives show up in the selection to choose where to install it too. Also, in the partition editor, the hard drive doesnt show up either. Here are my laptop specs:

Hey, eddie. My device id is 0x056010de, I think (or that's the id of other users with the nforce 560). Is there any way that you or I could implement support for that in leo4all. How could I inject my device id into the driver? I'm a C/++ programmer, so perhaps I could implement it into driver?

[KariNeko]

I'm having the same problem as typewriter, I can't change the resolution on a GMA950.

 

At first Natit wasn't loading, so I checked the plist on the kext and my device id wasn't there, so I added it but it's the same, I'm stuck at 1024. My widescreen resolution doesn't work when I edit apple.boot.plist.

 

Here's the log that I get when Natit is loading:

Is there any solution for this to get it working?

 

Thanks

Have you tried this yet?

 

Stuck "Waiting for root device"

Issue:Upon booting DVD installer you see a message "waiting for root device…" This is a known issue that comes up quite frequently. Your IDE or SATA chipset may not be supported by the installer. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this problem. You must have a working install of OSX to do this.

 

Solution 1 Find a known working kext for your specific chipset.(Google is your friend)

 

hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite

 

Create a folder named Extensions on your Desktop

Unpack Extensions.mkext from the Leopard.ISO in this folder

mkextunpack -v -d /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

Remove the MeDevil's kext(AppleNforceATA.kext)

Replace with the one known to work for your chipset

Fix the permissions on your new file

type

 

kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/mach_kernel -m /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions.mkext /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions

 

and place the newly created Extensions.mkext into the ISO and burn it to DVD and try again.

I don't know why this is happening off hand, could you tell me what kernel you installed with? I will try to look into this more. booting with -f sometimes forces drivers to load that may be missing a dependency on another file.

You could try changing your DVD and disk drive from master/slave. If that does not work your chipset may not be properly supported. Turn off you SCSI controller if you can too.

That device ID is implemented in the Nforce chipset driver. If it is not working for you it may be lack of support for your specific chipset also. You can read in the driver forums and get the source to Medevil's kext and look over it. I am not a driver person so can't be of much help there. Perhaps it is something else causing the problems, read Medevil's thread and see if there are any reports of it working on your chipset.

I am not sure about the GMA950, from what I read nothing needed to be modified to get QE/CI. There are plenty of threads in these forums about other people with the same graphics. Perhaps one of them has better insight.

[sniper_zero]

I downloaded this,booted and tried to install, but when it's about 2 minutes remaining, it sticks there and displays the message "no receipt for com.apple.pkg.OSInstall found at /volumes/untitled" in the log.

 

It eventually restarted but the boot loader displays "Ethernet PXE Client". This of course, does not do anything.

 

Any ideas?

[eddie11c]

You have to give it time, not sure how long you let it be at the 2 minute area. At the end of the install, somewhere around that time it takes all the install packages and adds them to the repair.permissions group. Then the disk utility repairs permssions. It can take a while depending on the chipset and drive, if you just restart there will be no bootloader installed. Try again, if it really does hang there let me know, and I will post a method for you to install the bootloader afterwards for you to try.

[sniper_zero]

I did not manually restart, it restarted itself. Not to mention this IS my second try actually.

Hey guys, I hope someone can help me. I'm trying to install this release on this system:

 

Abit AN-M2 nforce 7025-630a chipset

AMD 64 X2 5200

GeForce 6800GT

2GB kingston DDR2 667

250GB WD SATAII HDD

 

My problem is an odd one. I get all the way through the install fine, then when I get to the options of setting up my mac, more specifically, when it asks if I want to transfer info from an old mac etc.. it freezes, then takes me back to the first options page. I'm running the install with less drivers each time, but I just can't seem to get into the desktop.

 

I'm running the install again as I type and will update further when it finishes.

 

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated, until then, thanks in advance

 

EDIT: Still can't get it to run. Gonna Try iAtkos, seems as though many AMD users have had success with this one.

I am having trouble installing this, every time I do it gives me a "HFS+ partition error", and I haven't an idea what causes it.

SATA DVD Player... burned the DVD on an IDE DVD Burner, what'll that do?

 

'twas custom made, all parts bought on Newegg.

 

Upon loading the DVD, it spends about 10 minutes running me through a series of errors that I have no idea what they might mean. When the DVD actually loads, I have to reformat the hard drive I guess, so I go to the disk manager thing in the Tools menu, and select my paritition. This is the part where I originally got lost.

 

I went to the "Erase" screen and renamed the volume to "Leopard" (I had seen a tutorial once before, and I recalled them saying it needed to be named Leopard to work, I think?). Anyway, I wasn't sure what format to use, so I selected Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), as my friend explained to me that this was the best option. When I returned to the "Select Your Destination" screen, the volume was there, so I selected it. It brought me to the "click here to install" screen, so I went to the options. I enabled the AMD-System-Fix and didn't touch the Kernel. I didn't touch anything else... should I have installed any third-party-drivers?

 

Anyway, I skipped the disk check like recommended and it spent about 30-40 minutes installing (if the Estimated Time Remaining was correct). I clicked the "reboot" button, and upon reboot, it gave me the "HFS+ partition error". What have I done wrong? Is my hardware incompatible?

If you could open the installer log while it is installing and post that up, I can look and see whats happening. When you have the installer log in the front it will not auto reboot at the end of the installation until you close it.

This is usually caused by the bootloader not being able to flag your partition active, it may be an incompatibility with the chipset or something. You can manually do this with fdisk from the terminal. There are plenty of instructions around here on how to do it. Try searching first. Be sure to add your chipset drivers at the very least, or you will be stuck waiting for root device.

Oh, I didn't consider that was the problem at all. Thanks. Also, what chipset drivers should I select? I'm assuming one of the two NForce options, but which one should I pick for my motherboard? (NForce 570)
