i am trying to install your iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal FINAL
originally i ried to follow this guide -
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=144639 but...
my install keeps failing at the 22min stage with
the installer could not validate the contents of the 'additionalspeechvoices' package. contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
in the log it says that the 'additionalspeechvoices' package failed to validate.
its on a burnt cd... tried to use my imac disk but that just fails miserably!!!
so decided to try your IPC version... read through the whole thread etc... so burnt the final version to disk and tried to install...
after the prompt... i press any key to continue and all i get is a quick grey screen then it resets... and loops like this forever...
so i tired to combine the previous method and your disk...
ye i have spent hours trying this and folk with very simular spec seem to have everything working...
ok getting better but still no where...
did this...
1. Burn the .iso you find attached at the bottom on a CD and reboot with it.
NOTE: The .iso comes with no graphic support. If you want to put your graphic kext in it you can do so by following Superhai's method. If you have Windows you have to extract the .iso, and use Transmac (google it) to copy the kext in the initrd.img file. Then burn the CD making sure you burn it as a bootable CD (ISOLINUX.BIN would be your boot file).
2. If you are asked to, press [F8] (this doesn't happen to everybody). When the Darwin prompt appears, press [ESC], eject the CD and put ipc DVD, wait about 10 seconds (till the green light stops blinking), press [ENTER] and then [F8]
3. Write rd(0,1)/mach_kernel.voodoo busratio=20 -v -f rd=disk[n]s3 and press [ENTER]. Your installation should load now. You will have to substitute busratio=20 with busratio=22 if you own a i7 940, or busratio=24 with a 965. You will also have to substitute [n] with the right number. If you did as I told you, your number is 1. If you have more then one HDD or if your DVD is PATA try with a different number, starting from 0. If your DVD is not original, you will probably have to specify a different number instead of 3 as well.
4. Install Leopard!
NOTE: You will probably get an error stating something like:
Attempting to Determine CPU multiplier
Determined CPU: FSB multiplier to be 0
Says 0 but makes no sense... the kernel as shipped by apple will not support this and will cause the machine to reboot immediatly... Press y to continue or crt, alt, del to reboot.
Press y and keep going.
after there i get stuck again... with all the prompt etc it gets stuck
'still waiting for root device'
if you have any idea what would help me then would be grately appreciated...
