Well,first trial of V5 didn't go so well. Stopped at end of install with error. My Fault. Did not read end bit of first post about Volumecheck etc.DOH!!! The install however booted but it did'nt work quite right. Fixed the problem and trying again. This is looking REALLY good. Man it sure makes the iso FAST!!! Waiting for V6. V6 is close to ready. I would give up on V5 and wait. ATI HD cards have been added and there is now options for boot.plist files (delay boot, verbose, safe, etc...). I've been through the postflights and I've removed a load of errors. The method for making the hard drive bootable is now much improved and, hopefully, less prone to failure. So you are using the PackageMaker project I posted, cool. With V6 there have been major changes for the better. As soon as I'm happy with it I will post the corresponding V6 build environment, probably today. |

I've been through the postflights and I've removed a load of errors. The method for making the hard drive bootable is now much improved and, hopefully, less prone to failure. Major change to underlying method of setting the target volume as bootable. It now takes place at the end of the installation process. So no more dangerous force unmounting of the target volume. Many bugs removed from the package postflight scripts. New install choices for ATI HD gfx cards. New boot options (safe and normal). Automatic detection of GUID, MBR, and APM partition schemes. Installer prevents selection of APM partition disks. Choice of Netkas PC-EFI or Darwin x86 bootloader. PC-EFI will be used automatically on GUID partitions. Creates /Library/Backup/Hackintosh directory containing modified and extra files added by the installer. Creates /Library/Backup/Original directory containing all original files that are modified or replaced by the installer. Automatically prevent installation of vanilla kernel on unsupported CPUs. The patch.sh script now checks for the presence of the required update packages and quits if they are missing. |

Cheers for this, hope to give it a try soon. The one main difference between XP and OS X is I now don't feel the urge to clean install every couple of weeks, Leo has been running well for a couple of months on my hack.

The one main difference between XP and OS X is I now don't feel the urge to clean install every couple of weeks, Leo has been running well for a couple of months on my hack. I don't clean install my system much either ;D My iMac hasn't had a clean install since I built it. Its still running Tiger mind you. What I really need is people who can read shell script to help debug this thing. There are over 100 packages and postflights in this now, and they all have to fit together just so! A single " in the wrong place in one of those postflights can FUBAR the hole DVD. Also, it takes sometime to test the DVD. In fact I don't test every option, I don't have the time! This is why, unlike other distributors, I publish the build environment. I know its not going to be perfect and I can't fix everything, but at least you can download the hole project and try and fix it yourselves.  |

Thanks for sharing your work again ritalin, and also thank you for sharing your build environment. I have successfully been able to make my own OSInstall.mpkg with some drivers for my own hardware. This is a nice method and I will try out v6 of you script and let you know if I run into any problems.

Thanks for the feedback. I've posted a new thread Start to Learn Shell ScriptI hope some of you find it useful. EDIT 26th March 2008Added the following 3 plugins to the "IOATAFamily.kext" extension: AppleGenericPCATA.kext - Source: AppleGenericPCATA-5 AppleOnboardPCATA.kext - Source: AppleOnboardPCATA-2 AppleVIAATA.kext - Source: AppleVIAATA-6 They were missed in previous builds due an oversight by myself.

What I can doo? any idea Should I take it that you don't know what a mounted disk image looks like? or are you saying there aren't any mounted images and that the error is incorrect? |

Look in the "image" folder of the patcher, it should look like this:  If there is any files in there other than MacOSX105.dmg then delete them. DONT delete MacOSX105.dmg ! If MacOSX105.dmg isn't there, then read the file named "instructions" again. If the patcher bombs out again after doing all that, then there is something wrong.  |

Well there is definitely some sort of image mounted I wonder what it is. Do you use FileVault? |
