New OSX Installer Pack - All Windows, All USB!

[qubit]

Is this guide working for the s10e also ? or onyl s10?

give it a shot (if you have backed up your important data), its worth getting your hands dirty, at least to learn.

I have a S10E that I'm attempting to setup using this install method but when I setup the disc image on the USB drive, it says I don't have enough room to copy over the files from the COPY FIRST folder.

Is there something weird that I'm missing? How do I gain more space in the HFS+ partition on the thumbdrive?

Not missing anything - I had exactly the same when using a 10.5.1 disk... 10.5.6 for some reason takes up less space.

ok so it all went well with the retail 10.5.6 install (i had to manually run the sleep progam and copy the rc.sleep/wake for VoodooHDA. Crackling was solved by generating a new DSDT.aml). I then tried to upgrade to 10.5.7 using cybergregs retail upgrade pack from the msiwind forums. My problem occured after running kextupdate.sh at the end of the update (to restore VoodooHDA)-> panic upon restart. Silver, how do I upgrade froma retail 10.5.6 install to 10.5.7 using your method?

Hi - would you mind sharing how you solved the audio crackling? I've searched for new DSDT.aml but can't find any thing that explains exactly how you do this (at the moment, everything seems to be working on my install apart from the audio crackle and no sleep support).

sure,
just google DSDT patcher GUI and pcwiz's url should pop up, its self explanatory from there, no guarantee's from there you should be right, it is not a total solution but really helps with the crackling problem

BTW sleep is working fine for me, as far as i know I used to have to edit a .plist file to help this, Im guessing the boys(corruption and silver have included this with the install for S10) for it works on mine

First off, check without the DSDT, I'm fairly sure that the crackling is being fixed by the sleep script unloading/reloading the voodoohda.kext rather than the DSDT (after all that *is* the purpose of the rc.sleep/wake, and you said you did both at the same time) also, pcwiz's thing is no more than a crude applescript GUI that runs fassl's DSDT patcher, in other words, all it is doing is patching HPET & RTC.

Hi Hagar,

I ran the DSDT patcher before I saw your response, and it did nothing to fix the crackling issue.

What should I be doing to try and fix it (I see your reference to voodooha.kext, but being a complete mac novice I don't really know what I should be doing here to fix the issue - should I also be doing something to make sleep work? At present sleep just seems to turn the screen off for a couple of seconds then everything wakes right back up)

Thanks for your help and advice

i have gone thro the install x2 and the sleep progam hasn't installed, i've had to do it manually. I've also noticed that there is a reference to the file in the patch directory to the DSDT file. ive read previously that is not relevant to this install, tho found that after running fassel's script throught it to stabilize the driver. prlly doesnt do anything tho, not sure, just noticed a difference when i did it, so, did it again...

on an off thought, try repairing permissions, and clearing your caches.. maintenance..

2 general comments:

1) It seems that the DSDT patcher is unnecessary. You don't need a patched dsdt.aml for any reason that I'm aware of on the S10. And in my case, the postinstaller didn't place the file correctly anyway, so you may not even have one.

2) I haven't found any way to eliminate crackling with VoodooHDA - sleep fix, kextunload, placing in /S/L/E, etc. I know some people have, but it must be something that works for some people and not for others (or just me).

Oh, and about the sleep Info.plist fix - it is indeed included in the postinstall script.

Is there a way to get a external monitor working?
When i plug it in i only get crap on the screen.

Thanks for the guide a couple questions

1) when i am creating the USB disks with the latest version of transmac they keep telling me that there isn't enough space. I have a 1GB kingston and a Crucial 8gb. For the 1GB, it failed.

2) When you plug in both usb's i assume yo select the 1giger, (i dont like assumptions) so is this the case?

Thanks!
