Red, Did you remove AGPGart with these commands, Boot with -s option, then mount -uw / then rm -fr /System/Library/Extensions/AGPGart.kext then rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext then reboot with -v -f Do you have an NV card to try to boot? rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext gives me a no such file or dir as for an NV card, all i have is the PCI 5200 and the AGP 6200 from PPC macs. |

As a kind of last resort before installing, you could boot up XP, If you can see your Mac HD, (Probably not) and go into your mac hard drives extensions folder and manually remove the ATIRadeonX1000.kext & AGPGart.kext. If that does not work, it sounds like something got duffed on your system. I guess I could make a package to reinstall all the original ATI kexts.

already tried that earlier this morning, but xp can't see the 80 gig drive formatted to OS X
EDIT
OS 9 came in handy for that, boot from the CD, and sift through the hard drive for the problems.

Install this on your XP system. It's called transmac 8.1 It's the Demo version though, you have 30 day if I remember right ( maybe 15 ), has saved me many of times, and it will see you OSX Drive with no problems. You can also add files to and from your XP drive to the OSX drive. Aqua, I think the error was from The leopard IOPCI, He was using the older IOPCI that I sent him, after he installed everything, I had him switch them out due to no QE & CI. That maybe why he was able to boot to start with, though I'd be tempted to see if we could get the 865gma going with the 900gma driver. anyways, here is Transmac for you Transmac 8.1EDIT* From the wiki, looks like this boards should work fine. Try a new install with out the ATI x1300 WiKi |

Probably a bit off track here BUT.
Anyone tried the System Image Utility from the Server update?.
Reason being is you can make a new 10.5.4 based Install Disc using it.
If you use a 'Fresh 10.5.4 Install" as the base
in SIU you can make a Net Install Image.
You can use this Image as a base for future installs.
In the System/Installation/Packages directory you have.
ASRInstall.pkg and System.dmg
You can leave it as such OR
trash the Installation directory and copy Installation from other Install to it.
This is the preferred method.
As this will be a virgin Install it will need to have DFE-132 Chameleon loader.
Will also need highly modified ritalin script to bring it all together.
----
Just playing around with this at the moment.
Thought some people would like the IDEA of a
10.5.4 based 10.5.4 Installer instead of
10.5.0 based 10.5.4 Installer.
Any thoughts.

This would be very useful. I would much rather boot the same system kext and kernel in both the base (USB/DVD) and the resulting installed system. Also, my latest GFX hardware needs 10.5.2 or later for acceleration, so I'm stuck with VESA modes in the base system at the mo. |

Just trying it using Retail 10.5.0 DVD as source.
Will need to copy Installation folder to 10.5.4 based I've already done
and then use that as base system for future work.
Customized packages and added extra stuff.
One step closer to 10.5.4 based 10.5.4 Install DVD with ALL the latest updates.
And with DFE-132 Chameleon loader to boot.
Will keep you informed.

Burning a 10.5.4 based ASR restore disk with DFE-132 loader as I type.
Will give it good test.
This is starting to look VERY PROMISING!!!.
Not much involved in making it into an Install disc.
SIU is a great peice of kit.
Will keep you posted.

Well that worked VERY WELL.
Now trying with a normal installer dvd.
Tools used so far.
InstaDMG:
to make the ASR Image with ALL updates bar latest security update.
(Been capped...nutsty bigpond)
System Imaging Utlity:
to make the NetInstall.dmg using the above ASR image
Ritalin patcherv10.4 (heavily modified):
to throw it all together and make the dvd iso.
ASR Restore DVD using DFE-132 loader works.
Installer DVD using DFE-132 loader - Testing (should work)
will keep you posted.
