      All done on an eSATA Hard Drive connected via eSATA or USB 2.0 ...using a USB keyboard and mouse (NOT PS/2), Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard, Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 G0 CPU running at 3.0GHz, PATA DVDRW, Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 8600GT 256MB graphics card, Netgear GA311 Gigabit LAN PCI card (RealTek 8169S chipset) and Asus SupremeFX audio card (AD1988b audio codec).
      NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED OR GIVEN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THESE STEPS WILL WORK FOR YOU AS THEY HAVE FOR ME.
      THIS GUIDE IS ONLY for INTEL CPUs NOT AMD CPU SYSTEMS AND THE SYSTEM INSTALL SELECTIONS USED IN THE GUIDE ARE FOR AN nFORCE CHIPSET MOBO. CERTAIN SELECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE DIFFERENT FOR AN AMD CPU AND/OR INTEL CHIPSET MOBO.
      I have used the final patched version (original and PPF patch both obtained via Google searching... ) of the Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard Snow Leopard...this distro is made from the Retail Mac OS X 10.6 DVD with updates 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
      It is claimed to support most of the modern hardware for Intel and AMD (AMD users need to patch CPUID's with Marvin's AMD Utility) and includes the Intel Atom fixed kernel for 10.6.2 update, support for Intel Pentium 4 with Legacy Kernel, SATA Fix and more.
      Note that the distro Install DVD boots by default into 64bit mode AND like ALL single-layer DVD distros, is a 'stripped-down' version of the Retail OS X Install DVD containing NO Printer Drivers....
      INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
      1. Boot PC from Hazard Install DVD
      2. When Darwin bootloader appears, press F8 and at the boot: prompt, type
      -v arch=i386
      If you have any problems, try
      -v arch=i386 cpus=1 maxmem=2048
      but only use maxmem=2048 if you have > 2GB RAM installed on your MOBO
      3. Use Disk Utility to set up at least 2 OS X volumes of equal size (minimum 80GB, partitioned/formatted as GPT/Mac OS Extended (Journaled); one as OSX_Main and the other as OSX_Backup
      Note that without modification this distro install DVD cannot be used to install Snow Leopard onto MBR/Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partitioned/formatted HDD volume(s)
      4. Select OSX_Main as your target install volume in the Select a Destination popup-window
      5. Click on Customize button in the Install Summary popup-window, and select as follows.
      NOTE any Customize options not listed below HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED!
      Mac_OS_X_10.6.2
      Kernels > NONE
      Boot_Loaders-Options >
      > Chameleon_Boot_Loaders > Chameleon_RC4
      > Bootx86
      > Boot_Options > Graphics_Enabler
      You can choose to use Graphics_Enabler (BUT ONLY if you have a nVidia graphics card..otherwise choose no Boot_Options unless you know you need to choose certain boot options..)
      Graphics_Drivers > NONE
      UNLESS you have one of the ATI or Intel graphics cards using a driver in the list of options....
      OR if you have a nVidia graphics card BUT have not chosen Graphics_Enabler in Boot_Options; in which case, choose as follows:
      Graphics_Drivers > NVidia_Graphic > NVEnabler
      NOTE: I have found that both Graphics_Enabler and NVEnabler work with my GeForce 8600GT 256MB graphics card giving CI/QE (as seen from the transparent top menu bar) but Graphics_Enabler works more cleanly during bootup, as the bootup screen shows...
      Audio_Drivers > AppleAzaliaAudioAD1988b
      If you do not have a AD19988b audio chipset/codec, choose the listed option your MOBO audio chipset/codec requires, BUT if you are not sure which available option(s) for your audio chipset/codec to choose, then choose VoodooHDA_v2.5.3...HOWEVER, if your chipset/codec is not listed, then choose the AppleAzaliaAudio option (2channel output)....
      Note: I have found that choosing the AppleAzaliaAudioAD1988b option results in VoodooHDA.kext (0.2.1) being loaded also...this produces speaker 'crackles/pops' during booting but you do get sound output with the top menu bar speaker icon activated with volume control...however, in System Profiler > Audio (Built In) appears as 'No Built-in Audio.'..
      Network_Drivers > nForceLAN
      unless you know exactly which of the listed drivers your MOBO onboard LAN chipset requires....if your chipset is not listed, then choose NONE....
      CMOS_Reset_Fix > ElliottForceLegacyRTC
      SATA_ATA_FIx > NONE
      Patches >
      > About_This_Mac_Fix
      >EITHER OpenHaltRestart OR EvOreboot
      NOTE: The PS2 option is ONLY needed if you are using a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse...
      > SMBIOSResolver
      > Upstream_Client_Disabler
      (Normally needed if you have a 8xxx or 9xxx series nVidia graphics card)
      > UUID
      Additional Fonts OPTIONAL
      Rosetta OPTIONAL
      (Rosetta is required if you have PPC apps that you need to run on your Intel CPU mac)
      QuickTime 7 6. Click on Install button.......if you wish to, you can skip the 'Checking Installation DVD' process....but it is recommended that you do not....
      7. After the installlation process finishes, you will see an Install Failed warning appear in a popup window....just ignore this warning....and click Restart button...
      IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:
      A. This distro Install DVD, while successful (booting from a PATA or SATA DVDRW), produces a messy Snow Leopard installation because all the patched and/or non-Apple kexts are put in /System/Library/Extensions/ rather than in /Extra/Extensions/....so that /S/L/E is no longer an untouched pure Apple kext, i.e. vanilla kext, folder....
      B. The Extensions.mkext file used during bootup from the DVD and from the Snow Leopard installation on the GPT/Mac OS Extended (Journaled) HDD volume is a problem....primarily because it loads the SuperNForceATA.kext from Extensions.mkext....this produces a looping error on bootup:
      with the FEDE messages filling up the Console All Messages log....and slowing down booting to the Desktop.....
      HENCE:
      8. Reboot the PC and when the Chameleon boot-loader screen has 'framed' your Snow Leopard OS X volume icon, type
      -v -f
      and this should appear to the right of 'boot:' on the bottom LHS of the screen...
      Note: If you wish to, you can then reboot with just
      -v
      and see the difference....
      9. Navigate from the Desktop to /System/Library/ and find an Extensions.mkext file (49.3MB) and 'drag and drop' it to Trash...
      10. Now go to the /System/Library/ Extensions folder.....find and 'drag and drop' to Trash, the following files:
      SuperNForceATA.kext
      See B. above
      SuperVIAATA.kext
      Sleepenabler.kext
      Does not enable sleep on nForce MOBOs AFAIK and also prevents updating to 10.6.3
      11. Download and run the Mac OS X Update 10.6.3 Combo Package Installer....after successful installation....click on the Restart button....as is usual the PC will reboot twice...
      Note: The AppleNForceATA.kext now in /Extra/Extensions/, based on its size, appears to be the original AppleNforceATA kext version 1.0.3 by MeDevil, i.e. neither slashack's nor AnV's version 1.0.4 variant...
      So, if you have any kernel panics in use, then you should replace it with either slashack's or AnV's version 1.0.4 variant...to be found in my Snow_Leopard_Support_Files_V2.3...
      12. Once everything on OSX_Main is running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 just as you want it to, you can then use Disk Utility or Carbon Copy Cloner v3.3 to clone it to the OSX_Backup volume...
      Despite a successful installation and updating to OS X 10.6.3, MY RECOMMENDATION is to do a full vanilla Snow Leopard Retail OS X Install DVD installation, with the necessary non-vanilla kexts placed, if at all possible, only in /Extra/Extensions/, using my nForce GUIDE to INSTALL Snow Leopard (10.6) on a Series 6 or 7 nForce chipset / Intel Core2 Duo or Quad or newer CPU MOBO, which explains how to do a successful installation of Snow Leopard 10.6 using either a USB flash drive installer method, or my nForceSLBoot132DVD method....

      THIS GUIDE IS ONLY for INTEL CPUs NOT AMD CPU SYSTEMS AND THE KERNEL AND THE SYSTEM INSTALL SELECTIONS USED IN THE GUIDE ARE FOR AN nFORCE CHIPSET MOBO. CERTAIN SELECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE DIFFERENT FOR AN AMD CPU AND/OR INTEL CHIPSET MOBO.
      A. Clean install of Leopard 10.5.4 via iDeneb v1.1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD DVD
      I used the iDeneb_v1_10.5.4.iso file (burned to slowly to DVD, i.e. at ≤ x4) with MD5 checksum:
      MD5 = 11f087c6acf31ec93d23ef625c189648
      and downloaded the iDeneb 10.5.4 - v1.1 ppf patch now available as a .zip file...
      The patching instructions in the extracted iDeneb_v1.1_PPF_Patch folder are clear and easy to follow, and after patching the iDeneb_v1_10.5.4.iso file, its mounted name changed to iDeneb v1.1 10.5.4, and so I renamed the patched .iso file with MD5 checksum:
      MD5 = 11f087c6acf31ec93d23ef625c189648
      to iDeneb_v1_10.5.4.iso.
      1. Boot from the iDeneb v1.1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD Install DVD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the DVDRW Drive and pressing Enter.
      2. On DVD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type 'cpus=1 maxmem=2048 –v' (without quotes) 3. Once the iDeneb OS X Installer has loaded, choose your main language and then use Disk Utility to partition the HDD as Master Boot Record (MBR) into the number and size of volumes required, and format the intended OS X install volume as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) giving it a unique name without spaces.
      4. If you have partitioned your HDD into more than one volume, select the volume to install to.
      5. Press Continue and then Customize. Once in the 'Customize' menu, select as follows:
      Language Translations: No selections for myself
      Additional Fonts: Selected for myself
      X11: Selected for myself
      Patches 10.5.4 Ready:
      AMD Patch: Not selected
      Audio: Not selected
      Chipset: AppleNForceATA selected ONLY
      Kernel: Kernel 9.2.0 Sleep selected ONLY
      Network:
      - Ethernet: No selection (Realtek RTL8169 driver now integrated!)
      - Wireless: No selection
      Fix: No selections EXCEPT
      - AppleSMBIOS: AppleSMBIOS Mac Pro
      Video: No selections EXCEPT
      - NVinject: NVinject 0.2.1 256MB Applications: All selected
      6. Double check 'Customize' choices, then click 'Install'. When install begins, choose to (or not) skip the DVD verify process.
      7. When all processes are killed and DVD drive activity stops and the re-boot 'beep' sounds, remove the DVD and boot from the HDD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the HDD and pressing Enter.
      8. On the HDD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type 'cpus=1 maxmem=2048 –v' (without quotes) and wait as verbose booting takes place successfully into the Welcome screen video sequence BUT without sound (as expected since no audio driver installed)...
      All of the problems with v1 that I experienced, i.e. Welcome screen looping after 'Do not transfer my information now' and 'almost empty' IONetworkingFamily.kext preventing Internet access via RTL8169 HAVE BEEN FIXED...
      Changelog v1 to v1.1:
      • Fix CarbonLib Error
      • Fix Error ' Do not Transfer my information now ', now all ethernet drivers works.
      • The Drivers for Realtek RTL8169 and RTL8139 has been integrated
      • The ApplePS2Controller has been integrated
      • Update Drivers for Ati Radeon X1600 and X1950XT
      • Fix Error in Tiger-IO80211 package
      • Update Adium to Version 1.3
      • Update Transmission to Version 1.33
      9. Furthermore, the Migration Assistant application works fine (BUT must boot with cpus=1 and maxmem=2048 to avoid freezing during large file and heavy data load transfer...as with Firewire) enabling the transfer of User Accounts and Applications etc. from my Kalyway OS X 10.5.4 system...
      Also, on booting after installing iDeneb, the System Profiler directly (i.e. no resolution change required via System Preferences-Displays) showed 1280x1024@75Hz resolution 32-bit Color depth and 256MB VRAM with Hardware Accelerated CI and QE Supported….
      UPDATE: To get switchable resolutions on-the-fly, try swapping the monitor DVI or VGA (via VGA-to-DVI adapter) connector to the other DVI port on the GFX card...this tip, from cyclonefr, has worked for me.
      10. At this point iDeneb v1.1 10.5.4 runs without any apparent problems, including USB devices and Firewire devices mounting/unmounting...etc., EXCEPT for no audio...In order to get full audio functions, I ran the Taruga_AD1988b_rev3_Installer package downloadable from http://wiki.taruga.net/tiki-index.php...when online.. or from
      http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act..st&id=30545...
      11. Finally, to avoid any problems with the well known >3 GB RAM problem.. ; see this thread by mtotho...on many motherboards, if you install 4GB or more of RAM in Dual Channel mode, then you may get a kernel panic when the RAM usage exceeds 3GB (I have experienced this issue with 4, 5 and 6GB RAM installed, although in some fora it is suggested that with 6GB or 8GB RAM the issue may disappear.. )
      So, modify the com.apple.Boot.plist file as follows:
      1. Go to the Terminal, and at the $ prompt, type in
      sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
      2. Enter your password when requested. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor within the Terminal window.
      3. Type in (without any spaces anywhere)
      maxmem=3072
      between <string> and </string> under <key>Kernel Flags</key>.
      4. Move the cursor the Terminal window down until it no longer moves, then press Ctrl O and then Enter, to save the modified com.apple.Boot.plist file.
      5. Press Ctrl X to Exit and type 'exit' at the $ prompt to log out of the Terminal and then close and quit Terminal.12. Go to System/Library/Extensions, and scan down extensions list to check for:
      AppleCPUThermo.kext
      AppleThermal.kextand any other any *Thermal* kexts, if present; these should be removed as they can cause CPU overheating under OS X...
      13. Finally modify the 'About This Mac' reporting of the CPU type to suit...Repair Permissions takes place with no ACL or SUIDS errors..so go enjoy OS X 10.5.4...
      B. Clean install of Leopard 10.5.4 via iDeneb v1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD DVD
      I used the iDeneb_v1_10.5.4.iso file (burned to DVD) with MD5 checksum:
      MD5 = 11f087c6acf31ec93d23ef625c189648
      1. Boot from the iDeneb v1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD Install DVD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the DVDRW Drive and pressing Enter.
      2. On DVD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type 'cpus=1 maxmem=2048 –v' (without quotes) 3. Once the iDeneb OS X Installer has loaded, choose your main language and then use Disk Utility to partition the HDD as Master Boot Record (MBR) into the number and size of volumes required, and format the intended OS X install volume as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) giving it a unique name without spaces.
      4. If you have partitioned your HDD into more than one volume, select the volume to install to.
      5. Press Continue and then Customize. Once in the 'Customize' menu, select as follows:
      Language Translations: No selections for myself

      Fix: No selections EXCEPT
      - AppleSMBIOS: AppleSMBIOS Mac Pro
      Video: No selections EXCEPT
      - NVinject: NVinject 0.2.1 256MB Applications: All selected
      6. Double check 'Customize' choices, then click 'Install'. When install begins, choose to (or not) skip the DVD verify process.
      7. When all processes are killed and DVD drive activity stops and the re-boot 'beep' sounds, remove the DVD and boot from the HDD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the HDD and pressing Enter.
      8. On the HDD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type '-v -f' (without quotes) and wait as verbose booting takes place successfully except for 'Couldn't allocate Class RTL8169' error (see later) into the Welcome screen video sequence BUT without sound (as expected since no audio driver installed)...
      9. BUT when the 'Before You Begin..' screen appears and the USB keyboard is identified, followed by the 'Welcome' screen and the country choice is made, followed by 'Select Your Keyboard' screen and the keyboard layout is chosen, all without any problems, followed by the 'Do You Already Own a Mac?' screen, THEN making ANY selection, e.g. 'Do not transfer my information now', and clicking the 'Continue' button causes the system to hang (even though the mouse pointer can be moved) for a while BEFORE the Welcome screen video sequence loops again back to the 'Before You Begin..' screen...
      10. Solution: AFIK this solution is thanks to greyMD -
      1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the 'boot:' prompt and wait for the prompt ':/ root#' to appear (I had to boot -s twice and press Enter after the static cursor appeared to get the prompt; you may not need to), type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ':/ root#' to re-appear.
      2. Mount the file system by typing 'mount -uw /' (without quotes) at the ':/ root#' prompt.
      3. Change the root password by typing 'passwd root' at the ':/ root#' prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested.
      4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing
      'touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone' (without quotes) at the ':/ root#' prompt
      5. Boot the system by typing 'exit' (without quotes) at the ':/ root#' prompt. 11. Reboot from HDD with '-v -f' and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter 'root' as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.
      Having rebooted with -v -f successfully…. the System Profiler shows...
      Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA,
      VRAM (Total): 256 MB
      ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1
      plus 1152x870@75Hz resolution 32-bit Color depth with Hardware Accelerated CI and QE Supported...
      12. On setting 1280x1024@75Hz resolution in Display Preferences I get as usual a blank blue screen ('on-the-fly' resolution switching may not be feasible on LCD or CRT monitors with open source graphics drivers, such as NVinject, NVkush, NATIT and so on?..I have yet to try with a CRT monitor...if it is, I am not yet aware of how to set it up. See UPDATE below:), so I rebooted with '-v' successfully (N.B. booting now with '-v -f' causes a system reboot!) without any hang-ups. The System Profiler shows 1280x1024@75Hz resolution 32-bit Color depth and 256MB VRAM with Hardware Accelerated CI and QE Supported….
      UPDATE: To get switchable resolutions on-the-fly, try swapping the monitor DVI or VGA (via VGA-to-DVI adapter) connector to the other DVI port on the GFX card...this tip, from cyclonefr, has worked for me.
      13. At this point iDeneb v1 10.5.4 runs without any apparent problems, including USB devices and Firewire devices mounting/unmounting...etc., EXCEPT for no audio and no Internet access (and hence no network file sharing)...In order to get full audio functions, I ran the Taruga_AD1988b_rev3_Installer package downloadable from http://wiki.taruga.net/tiki-index.php...when online.. or from
      http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act..st&id=30545...
      14. Finally, to avoid any problems with the well known >3 GB RAM problem.. ; see this thread by mtotho...on many motherboards, if you install 4GB or more of RAM in Dual Channel mode, then you may get a kernel panic when the RAM usage exceeds 3GB (I have experienced this issue with 4, 5 and 6GB RAM installed, although in some fora it is suggested that with 6GB or 8GB RAM the issue may disappear.. )
      So, modify the com.apple.Boot.plist file as follows:
      1. Go to the Terminal, and at the $ prompt, type in
      sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
      2. Enter your password when requested. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor within the Terminal window.
      3. Type in (without any spaces anywhere)
      maxmem=3072
      between <string> and </string> under <key>Kernel Flags</key>.
      4. Move the cursor the Terminal window down until it no longer moves, then press Ctrl O and then Enter, to save the modified com.apple.Boot.plist file.
      5. Press Ctrl X to Exit and type 'exit' at the $ prompt to log out of the Terminal and then close and quit Terminal.15. Go to System/Library/Extensions, and scan down extensions list to check for:
      AppleCPUThermo.kext
      AppleThermal.kextand any other any *Thermal* kexts, if present; these should be removed as they can cause CPU overheating under OS X...
      16. Now to fix the problem with Internet access find the IONetworkingFamily.kext..Show Package Contents and go to Contents and to Contents/Plugins...here is the problem!...ONLY the AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext is present...all the other necessary files are NOT IN the IONetworkingFamily.kext Contents folder, NOT EVEN on the install DVD..see below
      My Solution:
      1. Insert the JaS OsX86 10.5.4 Client/Server Intel SSE2 SSE3 Install DVD in the DVDRW again and run Pacifist (located in iDeneb App folder in Applications), then click on 'Open Apple Install Discs' and click 'Choose' to open the iDeneb v1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD Install DVD..wait for packages to load...
      N.B. I have not been able to boot from my JaS OsX86 10.5.4 Client/Server Intel SSE2 SSE3 Install DVD because booting hangs at 'Still waiting for root device' boot error message...
      BUT it does have the complete IONetworkingFamily.kext, i.e. the full Package Contents... , BUT the iDeneb v1 10.5.4 Intel/AMD Install DVD does not; its IONetworkingFamily.kext has a Contents folder with only a PlugIns folder containing the AppleUSBEthernet.kext!...
      2. Type 'IONetworkingFamily' (without quotes) in Find window and press Enter...Install the IONetworkingFamily.kext to System/Library/Extensions by clicking on 'Install' in Pacifist and clicking 'Replace' as and when requested...
      3. Repair Permissions and reboot with'-v -f'...the following message appears on Repairing Permissions:
      ACL found but not expected on 'private/var/root/Library/Preferences'
      ACL found but not expected on 'private/var/root/Library'
      ACL found but not expected on 'private/var/root'
      but AFIK these are not messages to worry about unduly...
      Full Internet access is now obtained (see System Profiler under Network) together with LAN/WAN file sharing...
      17. Download and run the iDeneb 10.5.4 - v1.1 Updater package which is now available as a .zip file..
      18. Finally modify the 'About This Mac' reporting of the CPU type to suit...Repair Permissions etc...and create other User (Standard and/or Admin) Accounts...
    • By verdant
      Thanks for the info, I tried the 'easy' solution, get past the 'still waiting for root device', but not the error is 'unknown SIGSEGV code 0'. I am not selecting a specific kernel, booting -v. Any ideas?Thanks

      THIS GUIDE IS ONLY for INTEL CPUs NOT AMD CPU SYSTEMS AND THE KERNEL AND THE SYSTEM INSTALL SELECTIONS USED IN THE GUIDE ARE FOR AN nFORCE CHIPSET MOBO. CERTAIN SELECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE DIFFERENT FOR AN AMD CPU AND/OR INTEL CHIPSET MOBO.
      For further information on installing OS X on nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBOs, check out my InsanelyMac Topic threads on Series 7 nForce chipsets and/or Pre-Series7 nForce chipsets, originally here and now here, depending on your nForce chipset....
      Part I - Clean install of iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3
      Personally I have used both the unpatched iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release.iso file (burned to DVD), and the PPF5 patched iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release.iso file (burned to DVD).
      1. I booted from my USB Flash Drive OSx86 Install DVD Booter....called 'OSx86DeFacto' by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the OSx86DeFacto USB Flash Drive and pressing Enter.
      Otherwise, use a PPF1 patched iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release.iso file (burned to DVD) with MD5 checksum of 0c93dea47a999344a3b4303740f623f9 after patching.
      Or, a PPF1 patched .iso file patched again with PPF2....MD5 checksum of patched ISO after PPF2 patching: 0fbdc0ed0bed502e026cca9cf42efa2c.
      Or, a PPF2 patched .iso file patched again with PPF3....MD5 checksum of patched ISO after PPF3 patching: fb4742db14dcba1892ead2f61b080e4e.
      Or, a PPF3 patched .iso file patched again with PPF4....MD5 checksum of patched ISO after PPF4 patching: a702367d23d9b3374df19ace88a9fb08.
      Or, a PPF4 patched .iso file patched again with PPF5....MD5 checksum of patched ISO after PPF5 patching: 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f.
      Or, the iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 Final ISO (aka iPC Beta with PPF5) with MD5 checksum 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f
      Or, the V1.1 PPF patched iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 Final ISO (aka iPC Beta with PPF5) from ~pcwiz [Developer of iPC OSx86] ....MD5 checksum of patched ISO after V1.1 PPF patching: 723fbe0f7f619e30e4c92c1865450a18....that adds MeDevil's AppleNForceATATest package for people who are having issues with the default AppleNForceATA package (slashack 64bit modded MeDevil kext)....you really only need to apply it if the default AppleNForceATA does not work for you (Still waiting for root device, found 0 units, etc.)...to the Final Release .iso file.
      2. On the OSx86DeFacto Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type '-v rd=diskXs2' (without quotes) and with X=5 in my case).
      3. Once the iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 OS X Installer has loaded, choose the main language and then use Disk Utility to partition the HDD as Master Boot Record (MBR) into the number and size of volumes required, and format the intended OS X install volume as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) giving it a unique name without spaces.
      4. If the HDD has been partitioned into more than one volume, select the volume to install to.
      My external 750GB HDD is partitioned as MBR into 6 OS X volumes formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled); the first volume has the Darwin PC_EFI v8 bootloader installed using OSx86Tools and is a 10GB OS X Boot volume with Kalyway 10.5.2 installed and '-v cpus=1 maxmem=2048' set in com.apple.Boot.plist.
      5. Press Continue and then Customize. Once in the 'Customize' menu, select as follows:
      iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Base System (installed by default with AppleDecrypt.kext and Disabler.kext)
      Language Translations - Optional but not selected by myself
      iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3
      Kernels - 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel
      Drivers - Video Drivers - NVIDIA - NVdarwin 256MB
      Drivers - Chipset Drivers - AppleNForceATATest nForce Drivers
      Drivers - Audio Drivers - AD1988B
      Drivers - Ethernet Drivers - Realtek R1000
      Drivers - USB Drivers - Patched USB Drivers
      Fixes and Patches - Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (must be installed if Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel is installed)
      Fixes and Patches - AppleSMBIOS Patch - AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 Mac Pro
      Applications - Optional but all selected except Marvin's AMD Utility6. Double check 'Customize' choices, click Done, then in Install Summary window, click 'Install'. When install begins, choose to (or not) skip the DVD verify process.
      7. When all processes are killed and DVD drive activity stops and the re-boot 'beep' sounds, remove the DVD and boot from the HDD by pressing F8 at boot-up to bring up the PC BIOS 'Boot Menu', then selecting the HDD and pressing Enter.
      8. On the HDD Darwin boot loader appearance, press F8 quickly and at the 'boot:' prompt, type 'cpus=1 maxmem=2048 -v -f' if you want to use 'Do You Already Own a Mac' window to transfer your information across via options listed, or if not, simply type '-v -f' (without quotes) and wait as verbose booting takes place successfully into the Welcome screen video sequence...
      9. At this point iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 OS X ran fine for me, with 'cpus=1 maxmem=2048' since information transferred from another external or internal HDD OS X system, giving full CI & QE 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz video, Internet access, network file sharing, simple audio playback on iTunes Radio, USB 2.0 device mounting/un-mounting/data transfer, Firewire mounting/un-mounting/data transfer, functioning Sleep mode, shutdown/restart, Darwine,...

      Part IV - Making the 'About This Mac' Accurate in Real-Time for Your Q6600 CPU Clock Speed and Transparent Black with iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3, Public Beta Release OS X Installation
      See my blog entry dated Friday 27th June 2008....
    • By verdant
      I have easily been able to make my x86 'About This Mac' window both accurate in real-time i.e. when I change overclock, speeds the CPU speed in the window changes automatically, and also ONLY IN LEOPARD 'cool looking' as a black 'transparent' window.
      NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED OR GIVEN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THESE STEPS WILL WORK FOR YOU AS THEY HAVE FOR ME.
      This is how:
      Step 1. To make the 'About This Mac' window black but 'transparent', firstly download the files from
      http://aquamac.proboards106.com/index.cgi?..&thread=489
      At
      http://homepage.mac.com/steve.smedley/.Pub..0This%20Mac.zip
      Unzip the downloaded file.
      Follow instructions (my additional instructions are in italics) included in the downloaded ZIP file to achieve the black 'transparent' window effect:
      Instructions for setting 'About This Mac' backgrounds.
      1. Navigate to System/LibraryCoreServices/Loginwindow.
      2. Right click Loginwindow and click Show package contents.
      3. Click Contents/Resorces, then drag 'MacOSX.tiff' (Grey/Black Apple MacOSX.tif) onto the desktop to keep as a backup copy, and then right click on the original file within the Resources folder and send to trash. You will have to enter your password to do this.
      4. Drag the replacement 'MacOSX.tiff' image (from Std MacOS X tiff white Writing) back into the folder you deleted the original from. You will have to enter your password again. This will ensure that the 'Mac OS X' logo is in white rather than black and so visible in the transparent black 'About This Mac' window.
      5. Also within Resources (within the English.lproj [or your language.lproj] folder within the Resources folder), you will see 'About this Mac.nib'. Back up your existing file by dragging it onto the desktop to keep as a backup copy and replace with the new one in this folder. This will give the 'About this Mac' window the transparent look that matches 'Quick Look' in Leopard. This will only work in Leopard.
      6. Repair Permissions with Disk Utility.
      7. You must logout & then Log Back in.
      8. Open 'About This Mac' and view your new image.
      Notes:- A copy of the original items are included in the file if you want to go back to the original at any time.

      Many thanks to aquamac for Step 1!
      Step 2. Changing 'About This Mac' Processor from 2.40 (or whatever your CPU speed is) GHz Unknown to 2.40 (or whatever your CPU speed is) GHz Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 download the file from
      http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho..c=98775&hl=
      and
      http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act..st&id=25451
      and simply run the AboutThisMac installer package. Then click on the Apple and highlight 'About This Mac' etc. as usual and you should see in white writing on the 'transparent' black background...
      Processor 3.3 GHz Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600
      BUT with your own specific Q6600 CPU clock speed...
      If you have any problems with the CPU clock speed being reported incorrectly, enter the Terminal and run the command
      sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
      Then contact eddie11c via his entries this forum thread
      http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho..ic=98775&hl
      and report what this command throws up in Terminal..
      Many thanks to eddie11c for Step 2!

HOWTO: UPDATE THE PREVIOUS iATKOS S3 to iATKOS S3 version 2 For patching the existing iATKOS_S3.iso: 1. Check the md5 of previous version of the iATKOS S3 iso and the ppf patch. You can use 'ppf-o-matic' for Windows, 'ApplyPPF' terminal program for OS X to patch the iso. Check the patched iso md5. A hackintosh distro. Based on Mac OS X 10.6 snow leopard. Identifier iatkosv2.

Also, dont add extra Drivers (.KEXTS) which might cause conflicts. If You have NVIDIA geforce on your laptop, you should select NVDarwin from the “Graphics” section, not all. Hit Ok when you are convinced! Thanks for the great tutorial. I used iAtkos S3 v2 and Windows 7 Pro. While I understand your reasoning on doing the boot through.
