Thanks Rit,
Really appreciated, yes, the DVD I made following your instructions installed perfectly, but I still had to change kexts of course for some stuff. The kernel is nothing really clever, it is 10.5.1 sleep kernel with certain details changed so that it is completely compatible with 10.5.2. I have to say it seems to work perfectly.

I am not so lucky. I followed the instructions, but the DVD does not start. I used an original family 10.5.1 .The install stops at the level "control DMI..."
I can neither install Jas 10.4.7 with semthex. I get a lot of error messages, concerning the DVD, like I/O error, can not read/write the boot level disk1s3, warning : last sector not allocated.
I get the level where I can choose the language, but not futher. Or it shut down or I get the opportunity to save the errors log .

Aquamac, the file for your custom DVD is in your inbox. Fingers crossed it should work.

Hi Ritalin.
I got past the first problem I told you about, that was my fault. I had not followed your instructions quite right. When I reread the instructions I noticed I had not unpacked the itunes update package properly. So I did that and my DVD sailed past the original "cannot verify packages" problem. In fact it gets very close to the end but I get a KP when it installs the 10.5.2 update. If i remove the 10.5.2 update from the files folder before compiling the DVD I get a successful DVD. It says it is installing 10.5.2 when the disk is running but obviously it does not as the package is missing. I then have to install manually after the main installation. Any idea why there is the kernel panic with it in position? Is it related to if you install the 10.5.2 update to a hackintosh directly, you get a KP as you are installing it, if you dont remove AppleIntelpowermanagegement.kext and Applehardware sensor also causes problems? Does this not happen for you? Wonder if it is possible to remove those 2 kexts from the update prior to making a DVD.
Hope this makes some sense to you.

Hi Aqua,
I'm not sure why you are getting that KP, but I doubt it is related to the direct install problem you mention.
Can you confirm - after mounting disk image 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.dmg' you then copy the file 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.pkg' that it contains into the "files" folder. It is possible, using Pacifist, to extract a copy of the 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.2.pkg' package from within its self. This extracted package would not work.
One thing to try would be to run the installer booted in legacy mode.

Thanks for the guide and the patch!
I have sound but no video after install. I checked the sse3 box!
Should I use none?
I have an sse3 intel vaio with gma950.
Please help, thanks in advance

Either the SSE3 or SSE2 XNU should be okay, you should select only one. Under 'Additional Compatibility-Video' did you select Intel GMA 950? If that don't work I'm clue less. The only video driver I've tested this with is NVinject, which works with my 7600GT.

ritalinThanks for the reply  Stupid me did not see the video drop down box the first time  So the next install, I selected SSE3 and intel 950 & 1300. I think the video is working but, before the welcome video even played it said I need to connect a keyboard ( I am on a vaio notebook). Reinstall and select the ps2 controller. Now the sound for the welcome video plays but the screen sticks at the spinning wheel and blue apple screen  I have keyboard function because I can adjust the volume, but I can't get past the blue screen after boot up. So just to recap I select: -SSE3 -intel 950/1300 video -IO Networking Family (selected by default so I left it checked) -Remove Apple Thermal/Apple ACPIThermal (selected by default so I left it checked) -Apple PS2 Controller ****Is the Apple PS2 controller for notebooks? **** Should I select something under AGPGart? and if so which one? (intel core solo 1.86) Thanks so very much for the advice/help in advance ;D Doc

The Apple PS2 controller isn't specifically for notebooks, it adds support for keyboards, mice & trackpads connected via PS2 ports. A lot of notebooks are configured like this. The AGPGart is for video cards connected via the AGP bus. I may not have configured either of these option correctly, I can't test them as I only have a USB keyboard, mouse and PCI video to test with. You should try one of the mainstream distributions such as iAtkos. If you don't fancy a downloading a massive torrent you could try the BrazilMac method or this from Jason Madigan which is very similar. |

I have been running kalyway as of late. I made a working install with BrazilMac when it first came out and it worked fine!
Not sure I why I am having trouble now, they are very similar, right?
But yours is the only one I have seen that makes use of all the updates!
Do you know if you can add the updates to the Brazilmac method?
I am almost there, I just need to find out why when using the ps2 controller I can't get past the blue screen, with the grey spinning wheel.
Any ideas?

Update: Ok now I have almost everything working. I just need to get Q/E working with gma950:-/ Not sure why it's not working, it works under kalyway with the 5.2 update I installed with this checked: -SSE3 Speedstep -AGPGart 2.6 -intel gma950 and X3100 -IO Networking Fam -Remove Apple Thermal -Apple PS2 controller I only had 1024x640 resolution on my 1280x800 screen. To fix this I installed the kalyway 5.1 AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext (there was not one installed?) and restarted. Now I have 1280x800 screen resolution again Any idea why Q/E is not working? PLEASE help I would really like to get this fully working. |

Docthemac, that's cool that you got you laptop working. I'm really surprised that my patch worked at all. There are so many things that can go wrong with a hackintosh installation, and considering the patch and DVD were completely untested, I'm amazed it worked at all.
So what version of AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext are you using now?
The SSE3 StepSpeed kernel that I used in the installer is old. Netkas has a newer version out now. By the way your Core Solo should be good to go with the stock kernel, having said that, I may have set the checkscripts wrong in the installer. Was the stock XNU option disabled (grayed out) when you ran the installer?
Rals2007, It's been a while since I made the patch and my memory is not so good. I will have a look at the script this sunday if I get time. Sorry to be vague but this is what I remember.
The Bless command used by the script to build a bootable DVD is the genuine Apple executable. It is included it in the resources folder incase the script is run from a hackintosh with a fake bless executable. Your build machine needs to be able to run the bless command or the DVD will not be bootable.
I replace the rc.install script on the DVD. The only change here is my version runs
and the original runs
I do this for various reasons, it allows me to skip the license page, run a volumecheck on the install partition, etc...
Although the patch script says-
It isn't replacing anything as the command line installer isn't on the retail DVD. It should say "Adding installer".
The command line installer is used by custom DVD to install the 10.5.2 update. If you look at ~/OSx86_patcher/files/OSInstall.mpkg/Contents/Packages/10.5.2\ Update.pkg/Contents/Resources/postflight in TextEdit you will see the following.
This is the command line installer being called from postscript of the update.pkg. It instals all those packages that I asked you to download from Apple.
