Perfect Hackintosh - Leopard Server 10.5.4

(Yet Another) Perfect hackintosh with Leopard Server 10.5.4.

The story is very short: I was a little bored with my Desktop Hackintosh 10.5.4 and I've decided to go pro, so I've upgraded the cat to a real leopard.

Well, enough talk... Here are the specs:

Pentium Dual Core E2180 OC'ed (GREAT and CHEAP processor)
Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L
4Gb DDR2 800 Kingston N5
NVidia XFX GeForce 8500GT
HDD, etc... not so important

Price for a complete machine - 1000 reais, or 600 dollars (or much less if you're on USA or another country)

The method:

---Desktop---
1- Installed Leo4All V2, cat'ed a Codec Dump on ubuntu, used Taruga HDA Patcher, EFI Strings for the GPU. (Your mileage may vary)

2- When everything was looking good, including the DVI/VGA order, which I had to do a little Hex job, I proceeded to 10.5.4 update, doing a
"while sleep 1 ; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ; done" in the terminal to make sure this kext is wiped during the update. Also, did a nano -w /System/InstallAtStartup/Scripts/1 and edited the kextload "Don't Steal Mac OS X.kext" to dsmos.kext

---Upgrade to Server---

The Upgrade to Server was simple, I've installed the Server.mpkg from Leo Server install DVD, then rebooted, inserted the serial, then downloaded the 10.5.4 combo update and I did the same thing for Desktop step 2... Voilá!

Have Phun!

Oh, almost forgot our tradition, writing a little manifesto, we got lots of positive feedback from our hackintosh/iphone manifesto (see the description on our other vids), so, here's another one, this time, server-wise, lol.

-----------------Manifesto---------------------

Notice that we actually own several retail copies of Mac OS X Leopard desktop as well some server licenses, but in this case, just a test, nothing else, I just wrote down a serial that I found from a torrent site.

Don't get me wrong apple... Like the iPhone and the Mac OS X, you're wasting an excellent server platform just to satisfy your "hardware ego" and PPC zealots and fanboys out there (I actually was one of them, not anymore).

Your server system could be powering millions (of cheaper) Intel Servers out there (from Dell, IBM, HP) and making a lot of money from these companies, that I'm pretty damn sure, that, before Jobs even mention the terms of an agreement, Michael Dell would be like: YES, PLEASE!!! Lemme have OSX Server on our PowerEdges, no matter what it takes.

These companies are dying to have a OSX on their machines, and it could be a good start with OSX Server.

Also, Apple, remember the iPhone... You guys talk a lot about being proprietary... But, I wonder how can you enter the enterprise market without a decent and proprietary server pool... Will you accept your iPhone running only MS Exchange? Bill Gates thanks you!

Well, we sincerely hope that Apple will think different from now on... If it isn't the case, then we would really like to see Apple burning in an AntiTrust hell in a near future... Because I mean, their EULA is simply ridiculous now, and even more illegal than building a (legal) hackintosh... PPC was a closed platform, expensive to clone, so that's ok... But now Apple is running on Intel, which is an open platform, so be it... After all, even Apple likes and advocates Windows running on Boot Camp... Equal Rights!!

Power to our brothers at Psystar! You guys should sue Apple, not the other way around!

Peace!

PS: By the way... Talking about Psystar, it is me, or something smells funky about this company? I mean, a company that came from nowhere, and bought a six million building in Miami in a snap? I got a conspiration theory, maybe these guys are being backed up by huge companies? Or these guys ARE in fact these companies? hmm.... Or maybe, even Apple's Skunk Works testing the water? I dunno... But something is rotten in the "state" of Cupertino...

[RatSimBR]

What's a password? LOL! :) I mean, I prefer passphrases, easier to remember, harder to crack.

[blacklanton]

[RatSimBR]

Perfectly amazing! :)

[siggty7]

so is this an update!? was u runing iatkos? or what? if it is an update for iatkos 2v can u email me a link.

[RatSimBR]

Not iAtkos, actually I've tried both Kalyway 10.5.2 and Leo4All v2 then updated it via combo update, installed the server pack, and combo update again (for server). I've explained it on the video description.

you should make a vid that tells step by step what to do...cause im not that smart in computers

[Methodoc]

I have a Jas 10.5.4 server now, this runs better than an intel imac. Graphics have never been an issue on any hackintosh setup for me, in fact graphics are better. I built one of these for a friend that does video editing for a living, so far no complain.

[naturesuphoria]

Your Youtube fans are waiting patiently...

[grpace]
