The Install


--Pre-Install Checklist--

Bios Settings:
-Change Sata mode from Legacy IDE to Native.
-Disable all CPU Thermal settings.
-Do NOT enable AHCI if you have more than 2 S-Ata device. In Leopard, the last 2 s-ata ports on ICH9 boards are not working, DS3L only has 4 ports (4-2=2).
-Everything else should pretty much be default/not important if you change.
-Make sure The Leopard drive is set to boot.
-If you are only running 64 Bit Operating Systems (Leopard/Vista64) then change HPET mode to 64bit.










Leopard does NOT like IDE drives, it will most likely error while installing, use a SATA drive or boot off of a usb dvd drive like I did


--Installing Leopard With MBR Scheme--
This portion of the guide will inform you to install with an MBR partition scheme. MBR makes it easier to dual boot. Although easier, there are some limitations: You can not resize the Leopard partition or delete/resize any of the partitions on your Leopard drive.

*Warning, remove your ethernet cable from your computer. Do not plug it back in until after initial setup in Leopard.

1.)Insert the Kalyway DVD. No Kernel Flags are needed, DVD boots up fine with S-Ata Optical drive.

2.)When DVD loads (usually takes about 10 minutes) go to tools --> Disk Utility.
-Click on your Leopard Drive.
-Erase and format as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
-Make sure the Hard Drive is Formatted as Master Boot Record (it will say it near the bottom of the disk utility screen, and go into the Option menu in disk utility to change the format.)
-Make sure you give your leopard partition a name that is ONE word, and not just "untitled 1 or Mac OSX" as that is reported to give some problems. Keep it simple like "Leopard" or "OSX"

3.) Exit the Disk Utility and Enter Setup.
-Choose the Correct Formatted drive
-Make sure you go into Customize options
-Choose the Option for both Vanilla and the Fix for it.
-Choose MBR_EFI emulation rather than GUID (last option)
******DO NOT select any other options in Customize menu, I REPEAT, DO NOT.******

4.) Start the Actual install, you can skip Disk Check if you want.
-The install should only take about 10 minutes despite what seems like high estimated times at first.

5.)Install Successful, Now to get Everything working.

6.)In leopard, fill out the initial setup *Making sure your Ethernet is unplugged. (You can also press command+q ((windows key+q)) to skip it, but I don't know how that would affect creation of the first user, so do it anyway) Press no networking when that option comes up. After the initial setup, You may replug your Ethernet.
-Boot into Leopard. Use This to restore all settings back to default.

--GUID INSTALL METHOD--
Ok this part of the guide is if you want to use a GUID partition map on your drive. This basically makes it easier to resize/delete partitions, and some say it makes it faster and etc. It is a little more difficult to dual boot and as I have not used this method before, I will not explain how to. I will just tell you how to install leopard on a single drive without any other OS's

1) Use the same Pre-Install settings as posted above.

2) Insert the Kalyway DVD and Boot up. Go to Utilities --> Disk Utility

3) In disk utility, format the whole hard drive.. making sure to select GUID partition map (not just in customize) in the Options menu
-Format as Mac OS Extended(journaled)
--Make sure you give your leopard partition a name that is ONE word, and not just "untitled 1 or Mac OSX" as that is reported to give some problems. Keep it simple like "Leopard" or "OSX"

4) Proceed to install.. but select customize options on the install. Select the options for Both Vanilla Kernel and the fix. The choose
the option for GUID EFI.
******DO NOT select any other options in customize menu, I REPEAT, DO NOT.******


5) Hit install, Skipping the Disk check or not.

6)Viola

--Quick/Easy Dual/Tri-Boot Guide--
If you want to Dual Boot then look here first, if not, then go on to the rest of the guide. I will tell you multiple ways on how to dual boot.
*This is not an In-Depth Dual boot guide. If you know anything about computers, this will be sufficient for you. If you are 100% Noob, I suggest you use one of the many In-Depth Dual boot guides out there.

-If you want to Dual boot with XP and Leopard, go to Part 1
-If your looking at a Dual boot with Vista and Leopard, or a Tri-boot Between Vista, XP, and leopard, go to Part 2


Part 1.) Okay, simple dual boot with XP and Leopard on the same or different hard drives.
1. If it is the same hard drive, Use your favorite disk management tool and create 2 partition for XP and Leopard... Making the leopard partition Fat32. Make sure XP is set Active.
2. If they are different hard drives, make sure the XP drive is set to boot in the Bios (we will be changing it back to the leopard drive after install)
3. Put the XP disk in and Install (its important that XP is installed first).
4. Once XP is done installing, Set Leopard active, or if it is on a different hard drive, change that drive to boot in the Bios.
5. Install OS X using the Rest of this Install guide for direction. Reboot and you will have a Boot loader with a countdown. Press any key to get an option between the 2 drives/partitions.
*NOTE: XP Requires additional drivers to run AHCI. You must install AHCI with these drivers. Find Matrix storage drivers on INTEL's Site. Alternatively to get AHCI on a current install of windows, use the quick guide found later on in this this thread HERE


Part 2.) Ok, Dual or tri-boot between Vista*/XP, and leopard.
1. First, if you are going to have XP in addition to vista, make sure to install that first.
2. Now Install Leopard second using the rest of this guide. *IMPORTANT, setup the vista partition before installing leopard.. if vista will be on a second drive, this does not matter.
3. Set the Vista partition active using any number of ways.
4. Install Vista.
5. Upon rebooting you should now have the option between "an older version of windows" and Vista
6. In Vista, download a program called "EasyBCD"
7. Open EasyBCD, go to ADD/Remove Entries and add a new one under the Mac OS option. Choose osx86 Generic PC. Name it whatever.
8. Save, Reboot, you should have a working tri-boot.. or Dual boot if you opted out of installing XP.


CHAIN0 Method
If you are having trouble with Dual booting between XP and Leopard, this method allows you to use the Windows XP Boot loader to choose between.

Here the link: [urlhttp://lofiversion/index.php/t773.html]Support Thread[/url]
If you can not find the chain0 file in /usr/standalone/i386 as described in the topic, search the web and download the file. Copy it into the root of the Windows installation and modify the boot.ini file (C:\chain0="Mac OS x86"). Now you can always boot from the first drive and use the Windows boot manger to boot Leopard on the second disk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.5.2 UPDATE/Graphic Update
There are two ways to update to 10.5.2. The Kalyway Combo update, or the Normal Combo update. The normal combo update is much faster.. although some find it more complicated. I recommend the Kalyway Combo update on most systems. I recommend the Normal combo update on new installs. YOU SHALL NOT USE SOFTWARE UPDATE
-Please not that Updating can, and will screw up some features (Sleep, shut down, sound, video). The update can also improve these features. If sound/video ceases to work, reinstall kexts for them.

--Kalyway Combo Update--
This method is by far, noob proof. All you do is download the package from the Bay and run it. Let it be known that it does not update the Vanilla kernel to 10.5.2.. so you have to search for the vanilla kernel package on the Bay as well.

This way is better for people on current installs because it does not mess around with system kexts.. saving your sound or other changes. It is of course slower this way because the torrent is much slower than downloading straight from Apple.

First boot, as always, takes long (Hangs sometimes, use -v at bootup). I find it works to boot into safe mode then restart normally.

--Normal Combo Update-- (I used this method)
This method is faster, in terms of downloading the file.. but may be a little more complicated for absolute noobs (really is not that difficult).

First off, let me start by saying, this guide was written by =-Devin-= and the support thread can be found Here
It was originally written by Netkas but simplified further.

1.) Download the Update HERE
2.) Open terminal, Type in the following commands (before you start installation)

sudo -s

Type your password then press enter. Then type the following, then hit enter.

while sleep 1; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext; done

** YOU MUST DO THIS STEP ABOVE!!!
You CANNOT just delete it afterward. It WILL BREAK the install, and require a new install or restore from backup.

3.) Run the installer
4.) When it is finished DO NOT REBOOT.
5.) Type the following command in a new terminal Window

sudo nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1

6.) Find the line with /System/Library/Extensions/Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext
7.) Replace it with:

/System/Library/Extensions/dsmos.kext

8.) Control O to save, then press enter to save. Control X to exit...
9.) Reboot.

[b]* Please let it be known that the first boot fails usually. Second boot should work. If not, boot into safe mode (-x at bootloader menu) and once in safe mode, simply restart into normal mode.[b]

--Graphic Update--
-Safe to do via Software update.
-Improves performance.. may have to reinstall video kexts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound/Video/Lan Fixes


--Audio--
Audio is quick and painless to install.
-Download 2 needed kexts HERE.
-In spotlight (search bar in top right corner) type "Kext Helper" and open up that program. Drag the 2 kexts from that package into Kext Helper, install and restart. Alternatively, if you know how, you can install the kexts manually.
-Next you want to head over to this Thread and download HDA patcher 1.20 (or latest)
-Download this TEXT File
-Drag the Text file to the HDApatcher Icon, do not open the HDA patcher pre doing this, it must be closed.
-Authenticate, it will install for you, then reboot.
-Sound is Working!!

*5.1 Does not work. 2.1 and Digital DOES.

--LAN--
LAN works out of the box for Leopard. (for the 8111 series)

-Bonjour services may not work correctly without the RealtekR1000 kext found in the 'HERE' just below.

-If it does not work after many a hard work playing around, you can Try [color]HERE[/color]

--VIDEO--

NVIDIA CARDS
-I would reccomend the latest kexts for most cards here., Latest 10.5.2 NVinject Installer


ATI
-X1950(00)XT/XTX (not the PRO)

Don't forget to install This Kext to remove "Hack.in.t0sh" or equvilent from your boot rom. (****s up Apple stuff)

Various Issues

--AHCI Enabled vs. Disabled--
In my experience, AHCI is Ideal. AHCI may run Slightly smoother, and boot faster. AHCI does not make a difference in terms of Benchmark Results and possibly even stability. I run without AHCI and there is little to no difference between the 2. Although, if you only have 2 S-Ata drives(DS3L*), I recommend running AHCI. Also know that with AHCI enabled, you need special drivers to install Windows XP (not vista). Also if Leopard is the sole operating system on your PC, I highly recommend both AHCI and GUID. Again, running without these 2 options, you will still see 100% operation and smoothness. (I agree with this, but GUID is a bitch to dual boot with, so I went MBR and AHCI.)

AHCI enabled gets rid of 4gb of RAM issue. Read 'KNOWN ISSUES' for more information.

--To Get rid of Orange External drive icons while running AHCI--
The Orange drives are not only uglier, they can give problems with speed and permissions. To fix:

Download these 2 kexts

-Unzip.. drag into kext helper, or manually replace the kexts.
-Restart and you will have normal Drives Again

--Known Issues--
1) This happens with many motherboards. If you have 4GB of ram in dual Channel, you may get a kernel panic when ram usage peaks above 3gb(I have Kernel Panics even when not all 4gb is utilized). To fix this simply:
-Go to Terminal. Enter "sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist"
-Authenticate. Add the "maxmem=3072" in between the strings under Kernel Flags
-Note* 3072(3gb) is not the magical number here. It may not be the highest you can set your ram. It seems to have stopped any kernel panics but I have not played around raising it 32mb each time and testing if i get kernel panic. If someone wants to play around and fine the Threshold and share with us, I will edit this and give you credit.
-Save and Exit

Another Fix: AHCI enabled seems to stop these problems.

2) I am not aware that there is a solution for 5.1 sound. Digital does however work.

3) Shutdown/Sleep do not work by Default. This Problem is discussed on THIS Thread.
From what I gather, it can be fixed and working perfect by downloading a new Kernel edited for sleeping/Shutdown off the IRC and replacing your old vanilla kernel with it.
This means you will not have stock Vanilla kernel anymore.. however its very close to stock. Any software updates will probably replace this new kernel and you will then have the stock kernel again... which means you will have to replace it every update.

I found that if you type this in the terminal

sudo shutdown -h now

That it shuts down the computer completely. Make sure all programs are closed before doing this.

4) AHCI does not allow you to see last 2 S-Ata ports on ICH9 Chip sets. (as stated numerous times in this tutorial)

Thanks for reading this lengthy thread ^^ Hope you enjoy macos as much as I do (Dual boot ftw)
