Same. Got iATKOS but failed at the same spot too. Downloading another Leo4AllV3 & Kalyway will absolutely take days cause I'm using broadband only

I have lea4allv3, yes it should be leo4Allv3. Check out leo4All wiki page leo4all info .

BTW, you might also want kalyway 10.5.3 updater.

Yeah, i heard it got some problem with the 8 series...wonder if it's work okay for 9 series...thinking to upgrade GPU later.

Have you try NVInject .52? Can give it a shot and see.

btw, I've discovered a Macintosh OSX weakness....IT DOESN'T BURN MULTISESSION DISC!!! doh.gif

I thought something as friendly as a Mac should do this, unfortunately it doesn't....but i'm not sure if Windows do this also...i always burn with Nero.

Anyway, downloaded Roxio Titanium 9... innocent.gif ....will try it out later.

Matrix, OS X does support multisession disc. If you want multi session, you have to use HFS+ via Disk Utility. Also it appends disk image unlike Windows where things still appears as a single disc. For example, if you burn 3 multisession onto CD, when CD is mounted it will should show 3 disk image on desktop.

You can always use Toast for ISO, as you have already mention.

Will try NVInject...

Thanks for the tip, but it seems very troublesome. All i want is to append files and see it as normal file/folders! I think i'll go with Toast.

Finished downloading Kalyway 10.5.2 today, the combo pack should be ready in less than half an hour.

Hopefully can install my laptop tonight.

Last night I install NVInstaller 0.41 for 10.5.2 and later upgrade to 10.5.3 with NVInstaller 0.52. The monitor resolutions show as high as 1280 x 1024 in System preference, I am using 1st generation Acer 17" with VGA. However not switchable to higher resolution. Screen turns blue when switch higher res but not hang, still manage to get back 1024 x 768. Other than that Quartz Extreme is supported according to System Profiler.

Still having problem with USB, thumb drive will not mount. As for 10.5.3 updating, when I do update -v, display error message "Sandbox init error "Apple....", can't remember exact message. Although the About This Mac window show it is 10.5.3, I am not sure it is fully update to 10.5.3. I did not install new kernel 9.3, still using 9.2 kernel.

This morning when I check software update, it list 10.5.4. Let's see when Kalyway 10.5.4 updater is available.

Last night tried installing Kalyway to my AMD laptop....failed...after installation when it boots it says something about HFS+ error.

I think it's becoz i've XP and an Acronis hidden partition in it that screws up the thing. I think i'll reformat the whole HDD first, since already got XP backup on Acronis on external HDD.

But seriously...Kalyway took freaking long time to install....mau tidur also cannot. Re-in stall 2nd time, I wait until 1am, cannot tahan and just went to sleep..Zzzzzzz....IATKOS was much faster, but unfortunately can't work for my AMD laptop.

I should finish downloading Leo4Allv3 today....maybe can try that.

10.5.4 is it? I think i'll download and install to my desktop Mac OSX...(IATKOS using EFI and vanilla kernel), which i've updated with the official 10.5.3 previously.

I wonder how often apple do updates...hope not too often....headache installing wor....ha-ha.

Try this:
1) Enables USB mouse and keyboard in BIOS.

2) Reboot with your Installer DVD. Go to disk utility. Select your MAC OSX partition and select "repair permissions".


Reboot. Cross fingers. Pray.

Apple updates can be a lot but on Mac it is painless. Look at the recent updates, tiger for example, 10.4.11 which means 12 times, if you count from 10.4.0. That's not even counting other app updates.

I tried mod 9.3 kernel, USB is working now. Matrix looking back at your posts, you using atikos with vanilla kernel. Since I am using mod kernel, I don't have problem OS X shutdown or sleep. But it also means updating minor OSX versions can be a problem. Using vanilla kernel and files from original DVD, would be ideal compare to kalyway, atikos, leo4all, etc.

There is a thread which shows the way to install Retail Leopard DVD on P35-DS3R or equivalent, I do not know whether you have consider doing this before.

Retail DVD Guide, 10.5.3, 100% working, PC-EFIv8, EFI strings, Vanilla, GA-P35-DS3P (L,R), DS4, or OS X Compatible board - InsanelyMac Forum

Only thing it needs a bit of work. What do you think ?

==========================

PS, I forget to mention, I did try kalyway + vanilla kernel (9.2 and 9.3). Both does not shutdown properly.

Mr. Lonely, I am using cheapo A4 Tech PS/2 keyboard, it is working fine.

I am pulling my hair out already.

Installed Kalyway 10.5.2 on my laptop.

My laptop is an AMD X2 Turion and Nforce based mobo i think , since the GPU is a Geforce 6100.

Installation for the Kalyway took a miserable 2.5 hours....and then it doesn't work. It's better than the IATKOS as it manage to install, but it refuse to boot and hangs at a part where the message says something about "time out....write to kernel" with a blinking cursor just hangs there.

Now i am trying Leo4Allv3, but seems to hangs at the DVD boot up...can't even install yet...

Wait! It just managed to go into the install screen as i type!!

Ok gotta go now...update later.


Added on July 2, 2008, 12:37 pmBah...

I managed to install the Leo4all on my lappy, so happy! Then i go make it dual boot with XP using the chain0 file...works!!!

Then i go run the nvinstaller 52 (coz no QE/CI and only one resolution)..and nuked my MacOSX....doh.gif

I think MacOSX just hates AMD machines....regret didn't buy a C2D lappy last time....sigh..

Actually, you don't need to read too much, just the general guide will do. Only look or the problem when you hits it or you'll be running in circles.

Best way is to install and test on your hardware. You could get lucky and install on first try (like kena lottery...).

If you want the simplest wan, i think IATKOS is good with less options and more straightfoward.
However, it is only good for Intel C2D machines. AMD will always have it tough becoz the Mac doesn't runs on an AMD in the first place, so lots of hackings and patching are needed and maybe not so stable.

My Desktop PC OSX(intel C2D) really fast and stable..boot up time beats Vista, XP and Ubuntu.....but my lappy took > 5 minutes just to boot up!!! rclxub.gif

Very funny question ha-ha... laugh.gif

Just try and see. If it hangs a long time at the last line, then somehing must be wrong there. You'll get the drift soon enough.

But then again, sometimes it's normal to be slow....patience young jedi...this is a hackintosh...not a mac...smile.gif

Congrats !

Apple endorse Intel CPUs, Mac OS X is optimize with Intel code. I read somewhere in Hackintosh website, some Intel instructions are emulated in hakintosh OS for AMD CPU. That's why Mac OS X does not work well with AMD.

I think I am going for Retail Leopard DVD Install (read above thread) when I have free time.
