Success - GM (581) working on a hack!

[bablefish]

I am now proud to tell you that I am running GM, the one found on TL, on my hack (ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe with an ATI X1600 PCIe graphics adapter).

I have modified the install DVD with the patch-it.sh script floating around the net (added a few changes, as described to fit the 9a559 on a SL DVD, to remove the language files to fit on a 4.3GB DVD).

I am using the same kernel and extensions as I have been using on 9a527 and 9a559 (9.0.0b5).

After installing I have booted the system in singleuser mode from the DVD (Hit F8 and give -s as a parameter), mounted the disk on /tmp and replaced the kernel and some extensions.

mount -t hfs /dev/disk0s1 /tmp
cd /tmp/System/Library/Extensions
mkdir /tmp/oldkex
mv AppleSMBIOS.kext /tmp/oldkex
mv AppleACPIPlatform.kext /tmp/oldkex
mv IOATAFamily.kext /tmp/oldkex
mv IOHDIXController.kext /tmp/oldkex
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext .
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPI.kext .
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIOHDIXController.kext .
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext .
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext .
cp -rp /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext .
cd /
sync
sync
sync
umount /tmp
reboot

And it worked beautifully! I have not been able to get sound working yet, but so far so good!

I am hoping for a new patched release kernel, but this will do for now!

Good job, man!

[BrazilMAC]

geat job man! i was about to try it, but u beat me to it.

can u provide the 2 kexts from 9a527 so i can do it too? or maybe zip up all the files needed beside the dvd. i have a p5w deluxe.

Looks like I have some searching to do to find the kernel and such... Never bothered with Leopard prior to GM.

[Ethereal]

Done searching... all requirements found.

I can't wait until this is done... hopefully I won't have too many problems on my Bad Axe 2. We'll see I guess.

Hi!

One thing... I've readed they are preparing a DVD ready for hackintosh... but my question is... are they going to upload the kernel and extensions needed separately?¿ I like this method of patching the real image... Thank you!

No!
The Leo DVD Install patched x86 will be all included.The same way that u are used on Tiger release x86.

Well done BableFish.
Any advise on performance than 559 ?

bablefish, I can`t make a right iso file, and can you share your "patch-it.sh" ?

Hi FavleX!

So it's a waste of time downloading the real image, doesn't it?¿

[chival4ry]

YoMuS, it is likely to be needed for the osx86 beginners.^^

Unless you want to patch it yuorself

[BrazilMAC]

I am trying to send it the patch to you but wont allow attachments!
