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!

Found a bug in the installer that prevents the Quicktime 7.4.1 update from installing. For the moment you need to install the Quicktime 7.4.1 update once booted from the Leo new instal. Suggestion as to how to fix this are welcome.
thefinalprophecy and rals2007: At the moment there is no "real easy" way of adding your own PKGs or KEXT to be installed by the DVD. A lot of people are asking for this, so I am thinking of creating an area in the "repair permissions" package where this can be done. Hopefully I will find time to work on these issues on Sunday (16th Mar).

Sounds good, still will be a couple of weeks yet, I still need a motherboard and cpu, I'm holding out for the q6600 to drop in price and I want to snag that one plus a gigabyte p35 board. Meant to tell you I like your avatar makes me want to see more.... Thanks for the offer...

I'm considering making my own install DVD & of course I'd want to remove any kexts that I don't need for my Hack (like ones that are geared toward laptops) and add ones I do need.
My main question: is there a resource anywhere that explains what each particular kext does?
For example AppleEFIRuntime?

BB, Yes your card needs to be flashed as it is a 7 series 512 mb. The rom needs to be modded otherwise you will never boot OSX with natit installed. If you cannot find your card on the rom repository, send me the rom and I will fix it for you to reflash. It will still work in windows fine after. Aqua, thanks for the DVD's. How much do I owe you? I am trying to get the rom and the eeprom, but does not work. I have made a Floppyboot, the PC boot is ok, but I cannot get the change of drive to get to nvflash on the HDD I can neigther add the programm onto the floppy, get the message "disk is full". Have tried via Windows command, does not work. Get the messages "no PCI Bios" and nvflash must be used under DOS. Have made a CDboot, but cannot use it as boot drive. If I open the DOS file on the CD, it want to make a Floppyboot. Questions: what am I doing wrong ? I have followed your procedure : message 12 from aquamac.proboards106.com/index.cgi?board=hack1&action=display&thread=435&page=1and also this from Gotoh, How to write your own ROM from nvinject.free.fr/512Mb.html

Hi bb,
If you are getting to the A: prompt with the boot floppy, you can install nvflash onto a different floppy and insert that when you get to the A: prompt. It does not have to be the same floppy. Boot with one then flash with the other. When you download nvflash nowadays, you will want to unpack it on a windows PC to obtain the 2 files inside. When you have done that, drag those 2 files onto the floppy.
I think the postage was around £5. My paypal is: aquamac_mail@mac.com
Did you get a chance to try the disks yet?

Thanks a lot aqua, have just read the same thing from Gotoh here : themacelite.wikidot.com/nvidia-general-flashing. Will try tomorrow morning as I get back home from my night shift. I am waiting to flash the graphic card and then install from your DVD's and use in one time.

Worked perfectly aqua. I pm you the Rom. It is a 64Kb not a 128KThankb . Will you reduce the Rom or should I send you the card to change the Eeprom ? Thank you.

No need for any rom chip changes on cards used in Hackintoshes. I have fixed your rom and emailed it back to you.

I've fixed a couple of bugs in the patched DVD (and probably introduced a few more). I have altered the patch script, so please read the instructions even if you have used previous version of this script. I have tried to implement Dense's method of creating a bootable DVD. He also asked me to include his Bless command, but that will involve major changes so that may come in a future version. The non essential updates have been removed so as to make this quicker and easier to build. After installing OSX, the system can be safely updated using "System Update...". OSx86_patcher_v4

I've taken a quick look over Ritalin's updated script and its pretty thorough and I doubt there are any serious bugs. It follows a simplified structure of my script which has had a fair bit of testing over the last few months.
The overall differences in the approach we take mean that while my method is a more generic approach, Ritalin will have far better compatibility than I can ever achieve due to the fact he creates the packages manually. For the average user this makes Ritalin's script an excellent option and should have comparable compatibility with the more mainstream distributions (such as Kalyway and iATKOS).

Aqua, Some news, the flashing works good; the card is read with 512 Mb ram in the System profiler. But I cannot boot with the leo iATKOS v1.0i, because I made the update to leo.5.2 and it does not work anymore. It remains @ "verifying DMI Pool Data" . Install your DVD was OK but no boot stays @ "You need to restart your computer. Hold down ... "

bb,
You need to remove natit as my DVD has natit for Quadro FX 5600. Just delete it then you should be able to boot.

How can I do it? Before installing or after in terminal ? Btw, are you still selling your baord GA-P35-DQ6 ? I thing I court-circuit mine by trying to connect the Apple backside fans .
