[grub-dfe.iso] the one that boot's the retail dvd!!!

***EDIT*** I AM NO LONGER GOING TO ASSIST FORUM USER'S WHO WISH TO RANDOMLY CONTACT ME BY PM!(Because of mailbox overflow)
THE ONLY SUPPORT I WILL GIVE IS IN THE FORUMS, UNLESS I AM ASKED TO MOVE IT TO A PM, DO TO INCREASED TRAFFIC IN THE THREAD. AT WHICH TIME I MAY BE WILLING TO GIVE SUPPORT IN A PM.
!!!IF YOU NEED SUPPORT - PLEASE POST YOUR HARDWARE!!!

I DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THIS MATERIAL TO INSTALL OS X. PLEASE SUPPORT APPLE BY PURCHASING A LEGAL COPY OF MAC OS X. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF REALLY ENJOYING THE OS, BUY A REAL MAC!

*TIPS* IF YOU ARE USING SATA PLEASE SET SATA TO AHCI IN YOUR BIOS.

IDE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, BUT THIS METHOD IS NOT LIMITED TO IDE.

THIS CD DOES NOT GIVE AUDIO, VIDEO OR LAN SUPPORT.

THIS CD IS FOR RETAIL(VANILLA) INSTALL'S ONLY, AND DOES NOT SUPPORT AMD!

PS/2 MOUSE AND KEYBOARD IS ENABLED DURING BOOT AND INSTALL.

IF YOU HAVE ISSUE'S USING THIS CD, TRY BOOTING WITH -X(SAFE MODE) FIRST.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE SUCCESS, BOOT WITH -V(VERBOSE MODE), TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR SCREEN
WHERE IT HANG'S AND POST PIC'S.

This is the .iso that everyone want's! Just download the file, burn to cd and boot it.

Once you boot to the Darwin prompt, eject the cd. Insert the Retail disc. Hit escape... And the number [90] should already be inserted as the drive letter. Hit enter a couple time's and you will be prompted to hit enter to boot off the dvd.

That's it.

Maybe Sticky this one too!!!

Excellent work.
This seems to work...
Except at "about a minute" left on "Installing" I get a kernel panic.

Any ideas on what is going on?
I used the SATA drive...should I have used the IDE?

Like I posted in the other thread Im new to this so maybe I'm overlooking something simple.
I have tried a few different distros...could it be I need to totally wipe the drive?

I'll wipe everything, try again and report back.

Whats your specs Bushido? Sata its ok

I 'think' I may have located the source of my problem.

2 days ago I installed a OSX-specific BIOS for my Badaxe2 MB and forgot to up the voltage for the RAM. After doing that things started to work :) woops

I reinstalled without problems, but after downloading the updates I can not boot without -x

Im not sure what Kexts to get, or even how to install them. Im guessing DSMOS is one, but there is Appledecrypter which i hear is the same only better but have had no luck finding it, and I read I should disable a kext, but how to do that????

Im so new to this, and things seem so "coded" when I read the how to's... at this point Im about ready to give up :fail

My says typical boot devices are 80 (first HD), 81 (Second HD) Enter two-digit hexadecimal boot device [9F] when i press 80 i get hd (0,1) leopard when i press enter i get this System config file ' /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plit' not found.

If i press 9f it says to press any key to start up on cd room or press f8 to start opition. when it starts up Loading Darwin/x86 gives me EBIOS read error: Error 0x32 Block 16432736 sectors 64.

My setup is
gigabyte ga-945gcm-s2c
e2200 2.2ghz core 2 Duo
Maxtor 300gb sata/150
dual ch ddr2 2gb ram
lit-on drive IDE

Try with a SATA or USB DVD, or try to burn your ISO again

@ Bushido You need at least 2 kexts to boot OS X successfully.

DSMOS or AppleDecrypt, and IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext...

@ EnVme Re-burn the disc at the slooooooowest speed possible, and your problem will be solved.

Bushido, please post spec's.

Does this iso work with MBR partition ?, because im sure i read something about GUID...
Also whats the difference between this one and boot-123 ?

:D

Success, sort of...

Got Leopard up and running...almost a perfect install

-Installed NVinject (7600GT) and dsmos
-Removed IntelCPUPowerManagement

Patched sound and all appears to work smooth. Sleep, shutdown, QE/CI and running very fast.

I tried to update to 10.5.5 via package download, got kernel panic about %70 through, and could not boot back into Leo - even in safe mode.
It might have something to do with Chameleon and not the updates though. I had a tough time trying to get Chameleon working. I ended up installing it on the OS partition, another partition and a USB thumb drive. Im not real sure where it is suppose to go...I need to read more. I partitioned a 1Gb space for it if I need it this time. For those with a BadAxe2 MB the latest OSX86 Tools (build 150) will not install Chameleon correctly. You need build 149 which will work right

So Im re-installing :(
