Rit, Very nice Got it running no prob. Nice to know that I'm using my license as it were. Thankfully, Aqua sorted most of the kexts for my Mobo so that made it that much easier. Keep up the great work! Thanks, Nik

Just found out the wake from sleep does not work, crap

Hey Ritalin, That is great news, I have used the custom installer you made for me now a few times and although I never got the disk to go with the .5.2 update, it sails though the whole process much faster that any other distribution and installs 10.5. I am also using gfx strings now as my system boots quicker and you don't get the annoying flashing when nvinject/natit detect the monitors. If you ever get any spare time and fancy doing another for me (very happy to paypal for your time) I would send you up to date kexts files. Once again congrats, the disk is superb!

Code:

PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0xe,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

Now working on a version which includes Netkas Sleep kernel.

I look forward to SSE3 SNU support on my intel(SSE3) core solo, same as the first intel mac mini. And Netkas Sleep Kernel also, sounds great!! One stupid question Is the Netkas Sleep Kernel in the 9.2 mach_kernel or a separate one all together? Thanks as always for your time. **BTW did you all see this:** http://netkas.org/?p=15#comments comment #1, Grim Reaper says the way I think many of us, feel and think about OSX86 as a whole.

Hi bishoptf, Send me your rom and I will take a look. Windows will be fine after the modification, don't know about Linux as I have not tried it, although I see no reason why it would not work. Please also send a copy of the rom before you changed it and also give me your name from this forum. People quite often send me roms and use a different name to the one they use on the forums, as you can imagine, it can get confusing!

How to make your own pkg containing your own kexts 1 Extract the X pkg.zip and drag it into places. 2 Copy the kext you wish to install into the Hackintosh sub-folder. 3 Open the postflight template in Xcode.app (part of Developer Tools). 4 You will see template that will install two kext named foo & bar. 5 Replace foo & bar with the correct names of your kext. If you only have one kext then delete the second code segment between; '#Installing hackintosh bar.kext' and 'exit 0' Don't delete 'exit 0' Now save and close the file. 6 Open the 'X pkg.pmproj' in PakageMaker (I'm using v2.1.1). 7 After checking that 'Contents - Root' and 'Scripts - Extras' points to 'X pkg' and 'Resources' relative to the project, save the file. 8 Now build the pkg. 9 + 10 You can open the pkg with Pacifist and check the contents. 11 To add the pkg to the ritalin project drop it in the 'Additional Compatibility' sub folder. 12 Open the Ritalin v#.pmproj in PakageMaker (Again I'm using v2.1.1). Now add a new choice to 'Additional Compatibility'. Click on the + button (bottom LHS) with Additional Compatibility' highlighted in the LHS window. 13 Change the 'Title' to something suitable, then click 'Add package' from the menu bar while your new choice is highlighted. 14 Highlight your newly created pkg and click 'Open'. 15 Make sure you set the 'Path:' as 'Relative To Project'. 16 Build and Save the 'OSInstall.mpkg' You will see 11 'non-fatel errors' this is nothing to worry about. 17 Open the 'OSInstall.mpkg' with 'Installer' and check it looks okay. 18 Control Click the 'OSInstall.mpkg' and select 'Show Package Contents'. Copy 'MBRCheck' and 'VolumeCheck' into the 'Resources' folder. 19 Replace the 'OSInstall.mpkg' in the 'files' folder of 'OSx86_patcher_v#' with your new custom version. 20 Now run the patcher, burn the disk and give it a try!

Finished work now - the weekend starts here! How about you?

Here you are Rit, I loaded V7 w the 3100 option, FlexLM, and Stock 9.2.0 kernel and as you can see it is showing that there is no kext loaded. Hope this helps. Nik

OK. Thank you for your great searching and "bad" news. It's mean that I have choice, or change video card or change "cats".

Code:

Detaching original image... This next stage could take several minutes... hdiutil: makehybrid: attach of disk image failed: 109 hdiutil: makehybrid failed - internal error That's the patched DVD image all done. So let's tidy-up by unmounting all images and removing any temporary files we created.

Once again Ritalin, thanks so much for all your hard work and for sharing it with us. I will certainly be giving this a go, probably at the weekend. That made me laugh when I read the bit about how many times you can listen to the welcome tune. The first time I heard it (well OK, the second) I was so impressed that I had managed to boot with sound into Leo!! Still gives me a little tingle when I hear it though, there again, doesn't take much to please me!

Ritalin: i noticed that the AppleThermal.kext & AppleACPIThermal.kext has an option to be remove. whats the purpose of this? Is it applicable to all hack? And also, do we also have to delete the AppleHWSensor.kext? Thanks

Hey Ritalin, I have tested v10-3 OSx86_Patcher on 10.5.1 Retail Disc. It works... only if I connect a secondary monitor (else, laptop LCD goes into a plain blue screen). Great work, thanks! Alvin

Cool, Thanks for trying this and a real big thanks for the excellent feed back and pics . I will have a closer look later but I think a different version of AppleSMBIOS may help with the "About This Mac" issue. As for the video issues: are you using AGP? Support for AGP on x86 hardware sucks AFAIK . I think the AGP driver is PPC only, or something like that.

Okay here is a link to v10.5, this should very much be considered a Beta version! It has only been tested by me once on a USB stick to confirm it boots and produces an installer screen. I haven't installed onto hard disk from the installer, and the DVD option is completely untested. To enable AMD support launch the script with the AMD command switch. e.g. ~/OSx86_patcher_v10_5/OSx86_Patcher_v10_5.sh AMD At the moment the script is a complete mess and is not very readable, I need to spend some time tidying it up. PS. Because of the way the script handles CPUIDs, the only Apple Update you should apply is the 10.5.4 Combo update. This should only apply if you use the AMD switch.

Just ran a test to see if the installer can install a working system, it failed. The hard drive failed to boot because the installer hadn't made the disk bootable. A quick debug shows the fault is a missing command "/usr/bin/hexdump" on the installer. When the installer is made, the script SeparateWheatFromChaff.sh was deleting the command in error. The command "/usr/sbin/installer" is also being deleted in error. Remove the two rm lines in SeparateWheatFromChaff that delete those two commands, then rebuild the installer and it should work. I will test it myself tomorrow maybe.

I am very interested in the DFE solution. C'mon STLVNUB, share your modified 10.5.1 with us

OK, here is the report... I tried installer v10.5.1 using retail Leopard 10.5.1 and ComboUpdate 10.5.4 on eeePC 8G (Celeron M, GMA900 with ICH6 chipset) and Samsung NP-Q35 laptop (Core2Duo, GMA950 with ICH7 chipset). Installer worked flawlessly on eeePC until it detected that my cpu is running at less than minimum required speed (I'll try to see if I can get a hacked BIOS to speed it up). Installer automatically rebooted Samsung laptop when it tried to detect the GMA950... thus unable to install the OS at all. Also tried v10.4 with both systems, no problem installing except for that blue screen needing the 3 patched kexts as mentioned in my previous posts on v10.3 Now downloading installer v10.5.2, will try it next weekend Alvin

I just signed up to reply to this topic - a lot of good information on these boards My question is, how would i go about creating a "slipstreamed" vanilla install disk? This info seems to include enough to do just that, but I'm a bit lost as to the process involved. I could use an updated install disk (without the "modifications"), so would that be possible? IOW, no special boot loader, no modified OSInstall package, just updated files as needed... made for a real mac Thanks for the info here, and thanks to any who respond as well

Patched 10.5.5 XNU boots on my AMD Phenom

ah,sorry to Questions: 1.Does the combo update 10.5.5 already include the updates to itunes 8 and quicktime 10.5.5? Answer: No if not,i should place these updates into Apple_Update_PKGs. And select the MacOSXUpdCombo update first, Answer: Yes 2.I am gonna drag my applications pkg. files into User_Update_PKGs, pacifist,perian,stuffexpander and so on,alll downloaded from their official websites, suppose they are in correct pkg format and wont mess up my insatllation. a. i didnt see INTEL GMA950 but only GMA X3100.PKG in your OSinstall.pkg,so if I put my own GMAP50.PKG in the User_Update_PKGs folder,everything will be fine,right? and I wont come across blue screen like what I met in JAS 10.5.4? Answer: Maybe b. no matter it's driver pkgs to support my hardware configs, or just system applications like stuffexpander,I should all place the pkgs files to the User_Update_PKGs folder,right? The Apple_Update_PKGs folders are for comboupdate and updates for itunes, frontrow and ilife, am i right? Answer: Yes c. My own pkgs will appear in the options list when I run the script. So during the installatin process, my application pkgs will be included in the options list,right? Answer: They will appear in the option list during the script. During the installation they are installed by default and don't appear in the option screen. 3. about clean up the system's languages to save more room for my applications. I am a rookie with those commands and scripts in mac,I went through your scripts,but still have no idea what things in the system will be deleted after running the OSx86_Patcher_v10_5_3 scripts.Printers drivers?Xcode?Additional fonts?Language support? Answer: Nothing is deleted from the system you run the script from. Things like: Printers drivers, Xcode, Additional fonts, Language support etc... are not included in the installer to save space. They can all be installed later from the original instal DVD if required. I figured out from your OSx86_Patcher_v10_5_3.sh that some languages will be deleted. Here is part of the scripts echo "\tPlease select from one of the available language packs:" echo; printf '\a' PS3=' Enter your choice as a numeric value: ' select a in "English" "Dutch" "Danish" "Finnish" "Polish" "Russian" "Swedish" "Brazilian Portuguese" "Portuguese" "Simplified Chinese" "Spanish" "Traditional Chinese" "French" "German" "Italian" "Japanese" "Korean" "Norwegian" do case "$a" in "") echo "You must select one of the above!";echo "Hit Enter to see menu again!" ;; *) break ;; esac done languageChoice=`echo "$a" | sed 's/ //g'` so after I see this in the terminal, I shall type in "French",right? Answer: No, each language is given a numeric value, you select the corresponding number. I prefer to use French and English only. Will the printers drivers be deleted by your scripts? Answer: They are not included, you can install them later from the original DVD. 4.the most important of all, thanks a lot for all the great work you are doing here,thumbs up!Fingers crossed for great solutions for building my own install dvd.
