cloudpjff7 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Burning now, I'll update this post with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Remember the drivers on the DVD have not been updated yet, so if it does load you won't really have a successful install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudpjff7 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Sorry to say, it didn't work..... When I go to disk utility, no disks show up. Same problem in the installation. BTW: I have a Nforce 560 chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok last try for tonight. This is a pain since I am unsure if you need the Nforce kext or the VIA. I would think the VIA will work for you though, since it is finding you DVD drive. If your Device ID 0056 I think I missed it before, sorry! Try this Extensions.mkext If this does not work, we could try the older Nforce with your Device ID in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudpjff7 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 k I'll try but I'm running out of dvd's lol. BTW, my DVD is ATA, While my Harddisk is SATA, would that make a difference. EDIT: Neither of them worked.... I'm not sure if that's my id though, when I go to device manager/IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, I see no sata controllers, or ATA, just ide stuff, even though I know my hard disk is SATA. BTW: I don't see my ATA DVD drive in disk utility, I only see it in system profiler. What do you think? Others with nForce 560s have this dev. id: 0x056010de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurukool Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok I am looking for a couple volunteers to test a different Extensions.mkext to see if they get past the dreaded "waiting for root device". If you are one of those and know how to replace files in the ISO please speak up. I wuld like to test too...but could you let me know how to replace the kext..sorry i am new to this and not familiar with much commands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 You should be able to do it with a program like UltraISO or Transmac. Just delete the old one and replace with the new. If you use UltraISO do not save it. Just click burn, it will prompt that it has changed do you want to save, hit cancel and continue to burn. If you save it, it will break the dual format of the DVD and make you a coaster. I have added a bunch of ID's into the AppleOnboardPCATA and AppleVIAATA for ATI and Nvidia chipsets. Cloud if you could look in Device Manager of Windows and just double click your primary IDE channel. It will either have its own Device ID under details/Hardware ID's or it will link back to your SATA controller. As an example on my laptop, it is an ICH7 based chipset. The Primary IDE channel shows Intel-27df which is actually my SATA controller that is VEN_8086&DEV_27DF. This is because my DVD is actually SATA based.

proosje Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice one Eddie. Install goes fine everytime on my laptop (see sig) I got problems though, because whenever I try to fix some of the not working hardware beeing it PCMCIA, Audio or LAN (did not try graphics yet) and extra or modified kext are installed. Then after the reboot I have no more Keyboard functioning.(internal since i have no USB keyboard) USB mouse works, but internal keyboard stops responding. While booting I see an error about ACPIPS2Nub and class I can only reinstall since i can't even type while booting -s or -x When it is working after install i got 2 versions of ACPIPS2Nub.kext and one AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext could this be the problem? I never had this before (Kalyway 10.5.1), help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe you can add that id and perhaps it would work(starts to pray...). Thanks for that.

mj29 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Eddie, Will the 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 that are included on the Leo4ALLV2 DVD work with a AMD machine that support SSE3 or are those for intel only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you right click the right side window you can choose to show the HFS+ partition, then you can browse to /System/Library and find Extensions.mkext.

That's funny I downloaded it correctly the first time using transmission. Do you pause or cancel the transfer alot? Because sometimes I get corrupt files when I pause or cancel downloads. If so try downloading it all in one shot, or maybe downloading Leo4all, and then the patches separately, that's what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeaco Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (my first post) Hi eddie, Thanks for a great release. Like many others have said, it is one of the only one's they've gotten to boot an install properly. My situation is: I was able to get Leo4Allv1 w/ PPF1 installed with the Darwin Bootloader. I once tried PC_EFI_v8, and that ended up in a reboot loop. So, I stuck with straight Darwin. I did something to mess up the good install while trying to back it up using Disk Utility. So, I thought I'd try Leo4Allv2. However, it doesn't seem like there is an option for Darwin w/o EFI-PC. Is this true? I tried to install it and wound up in a reboot loop. Is there any way to remove EFI-PC after the intall? Is PC-EFI known to not work on some configurations? My Specs: Motherboard: MSI nForce 430, AMD Socket 939 CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Audio: ALC880 (working with Azalia) LAN: Onboard doesn't work, using USB->LAN Netgear FA120 Video: NVIDIA 8400GS HDMI/DVI - Using DVI output, 1280x720 QE/CI on my 56" Sammy DLP - Had to fix strings in the NVIDIA kexts - Onboard 6150 disabled Thanks for your help and your great work! Mike Hehehe...nevermind I reloaded Leo4Allv1 (the one that worked for me before) and found that it loads the same PC_EFI by default as well. This time, I started from scratch, erased both HFS+ partitions and installed...that worked. Then I tried Leo4Allv2 and that then worked as well. I think what happened was that, while trying to create a backup (and doing it improperly) using Disk Utility, I messed up the bootloader somehow. I never fixed that problem, nor erased the original HFS+ partition and the backup HFS+ partition before trying to load Leo4Allv2 for the first time. So, after install, the bootloader or something was still messed up and that's what I think caused the boot loop. Bah! Goes to show that I shouldn't skip any steps even if I think I know what I'm doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudpjff7 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hey Eddie, the last kext you gave me didn't work. It didn't even show any drives in disk utility. Maybe you can add the one you removed, and delete the one you left....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy523 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 hey, i downloaded Leo4All and burned it to a dvd, but after it boots it hangs on "Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel 9.0.0". It says this after i hit boot and a bunch of white lines scroll saying loaded blank kext such as nForceATA. So, can someone tell me how to continue the boot?

eddie11c Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok guys here is a new Extensions.mkextI have added quite a few device ID's in here, both for ATI and Nvidia. If those with Nvidia don't work I will try transferring them over to AppleNforceATA. If you are stuck waiting for root device try turning on AHCI mode if you can also.
