Only idea would be checking the USB Drive and DVD source for errors on the source files. Also check the partition/drive where you are installing to. About the PS/2 issue, even though its late, keep in mind you have to use only one of either [VoodooPS2] OR [ApplePS2+ACPIPS2Nub], never together. Also for VoodooPS2 I think I had to edit the info.plist to change the OSBundleRequired property from Console to Root. This seems to be a requirement for all extensions to load from /Extra/Extensions succesfully. |

Success!
I finally got everything working This is an awesome method, by the way. It really helped me get my stuff working. Thank-you!
Using this guide, I ended up installing Chameleon using the Installer found here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=149505 By following the README instructions for the installer, you can customize for your own needs. The installer has some great functionality to update boot.plist and a few other things. Of course, this is installer is customized with kext's for a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 specific motherboard. So here's my hardware configuration and here's what I had to do to make it work. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5. Video Card: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTS 250. Processor: Intel i7 920. KEXT: I had to use the kext's for my motherboard and processor from the install I mentioned above. I also had to use the customized NVinject kext found here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...p/t113489.html. The normal NVinject kext didn't seem to work. KERNEL: The 9.7 Vanilla kernel didn't seem to work; nor does the 9.6 Voodoo kernel. Of all things, I have to specify the Vanilla 9.63 kernel, otherwise it doesn't work. BOOT FLAGS: I had to use busratio=20 cpus=1 fsb=133. Still do have to use them. OSX86Tools: Another great resource to modify your hackintosh once you're in. My next goal is to get Quartz Extreme working instead of NVinject. Other then that, everything works great! Super fast, super fun. blows my old ibook G4 out of the water |

Glad you got it to work!
I didnt know you would need an injector to boot the installation, maybe because your graphics card is not supported yet? So with nvinject you get to boot with GTS 250 but you dont have video acceleration? About the kernel, it was reported 9.7 vanilla kernel added support for Core i7? Did you install 10.5.6 with 9.7 kernel? Or you installed 10.5.6 with voodoo 9.63 and then updated to 10.5.7+9.7 vanilla and it didnt work? Last edited by thorazine74; 05-24-2009 at 11:30 AM. |

Problem on first reboot.
I have dumped the 10.5.6 retail image to a 8 GB usb stick, where I have installed then chameleon 2 rc1, as well as Disabler.kext and AppleDecrypt.ketx, nothing more.
The mainboard is the old intel 945gclf, with the single core atom (which worked wonderfully before, with kalyway). It boots without problems and I can do the complete install (of course I get at the end the error saying it cannot be made bootable). After the reboot, it boots from the usb stick, I select then the hard disks, and starts to boot normally, but when the moment arrives to show the login screen (well, the welcome screen as it is a fresh installation), all I get is a grey screen with the mouse cursor, which can be moved freely, but nothing more happens. I've let it like that for some time (a couple hours) but nothing happens. I've tried to boot with -f, -x, -v, but it's always the same, and I can't see any kind of strange error message. Someone has tried this method on this (or a similar) board? Is some other extension needed? (that would be strange, as the installation runs perfectly) |

It seems that you got it to boot successfully but the desktop doesnt work completely (you say get a mouse cursor, you also get that too when booting with -f or -x?) so I would suspect the problem is related to the graphics, that Atom boards got Intel 950 Onboard graphics I think, so maybe you need to add or mod some of the Intel graphics kexts to boot even in safe mode. I got no experience with Intel at all, but I would find out if you need some graphics injector for the specific Intel card you got there.

Well, with kalyway it worked ok without selecting any graphics driver or injector (well, stuck at 1024x768 and without QE/CI), it was only needed to activate QE/CI and resolution changing.
The result is the same with -x or -f |

I dont know maybe something changed between 10.5.2 and 10.5.6 in Intel 950 support, if it boots all the way to the desktop but it doesnt work there that would be my first guess.
Only other idea would be checking if your USB bus works good, I got something similar when the USB reset was not being done properly (though on different hardware), try disabling USB Storage and Legacy support in the BIOS or use Chameleon2's EHCI/UCHI Reset options. |

Well, finaly solved it.
As I thoght, one kext was missing. Now I'm not there and I don't remember which one it was, something about AppleSMBIOS. Graphics were stuck at 1024x768 and without QE/CI, as expected, but worked. Then, by using a DSDT.aml which was already prepared for this board, graphics work wonderfully with QE/CI at 1920x1200 on my 24" monitor, without using any special driver, injector or kext string. |

Booting from the USB installer or after the installation? Have you tried verbose mode? (-v flag)
If its after the installation check the post above, you may need to install an SMBIOS enabler, maybe the OP can tell you which one exactly. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers. |
