January 24th, 2009
The iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 ISO (AKA iPC Public Beta w/ PPF5) is now loose on the internet as “iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal FINAL“. DO NOT ask where to get it, your comment will be removed immediately. It is also now the 25th anniversary of the Mac, double celebrations
.

I timed this perfectly- The one night I get for high speed internet this is released! Thanks for this great release, iPC team!
Hi mate,
I just want to say thank you very much.
Cheers to all
, we need some more seeders i’m stuck at connecting lol. 1 seeder ;O
I am the only seeder at the moment. I deleted the other torrent to encourage people to download the new one.
that’s good, let’s hope my download starts =]
congratulations… OSx86 more than ever!
THNX man this is the first ever Live DVD release LEO4All are also working on it.
Hat’s Off to you.
I will seed 2! Downloading now at 20kb/s so hang tight. LOL
Actually, it’s not a LiveDVD. That is currently being worked on. This is still just the install DVD.
OOOOPPPPSSSS i was expecting it was Live DVD. BTW Never mind i am die hard fan of PCWIZ.
Keep Rocking.

Hey pcwiz, do you think my laptop has a chance with your distro? I’m getting the IOAPIC: 0×21 Vectors: 23 error on practically every distro. My bios is very limited and I can’t set my SATA drive to AHCI mode.
Specs:
Toshiba L305D-S5895
AMD Turion X2 6000+ 2ghz
3gb DD2 SDRAM
ATI Raedon X1250
ATI RS690 Chipset / SB600 southbridge
250 GB SATA HD
Pioneer DVD-RW ATA
Thks for your programm but I have try with VMware and no work
not boot on dell D630, ahci disk, with 1or2 cpu enabled, with 2 cpus.. kerlen fail! with 1… ioapic error.
same with ideneb, the only workwind distro for this family of laptop is iatkos….
is not gooooooooooooood
is possible load vanilla kernel at boot?
tnx in advance
I still got that nasty “still waiting” after installation on my Dell Dimension 5000.
Or, to be more precise: As long as I omit the -f during the boot, the system comes up, but “About this Mac” crashes If I decide to install the AppleSMBIOS ToH Patch, “About this Mac” reports a Core Solo (which it isn’t, as it’s a Pentium 4), but the System Profiler crashes. Even with NVinject 256 Quartz hardware acceleration seems to be off. However, I’ve got acceptable HD performance.
I can reboot – only until I force the system to -f or until I use OSX86Tools to rebuild the extensions cache ‘n stuff. After that, the system stays stuck indefinitely at the”still waiting for root”. I’ve tried the regular ICHx chipset driver, the alternative LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA, even Intel ICH10 – no go.
… I’ve got running iDeneb 10.5.5 flawlessly with Quartz Extreme, looks & feels exactly like a true Mac. However, using the usual instructions to install the 10.5.6 update (instead of re-installing the entire system with iPC) leads to exactly the same mess.
I guess this D500 works much more stable with 10.5.5.
*sigh* I also guess I’ll have to get my wife a true MacMini for her next birthday and put XP back on the Dell as it was designed for. It’s such a shame!
Thanks pcwiz! I was able to install iPC only after updating my BIOS but now it works swell! Got nvidia graphics using NVKush, and audio using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext, and both cores working!
Also look here for the trouble i went through initially: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=150053

After several reboots, changing bios settings (disable legacy usb, disable SATA controller) I still get
“Still waiting for root device”
Have done a fair bit of research into this but still no joy.
I have made the IDE HD Master and DVDRW Slave, still the same.
Somebody please HELP! All suggestions given serious consideration.

I am on a Intel DG35EC and when I try to natively install iPC (I am using a SATA DVD ROM) to install I get stuck in the BSD Auditing thingy. Can someone please help me?
Hey folks – Any idea if this will run on a Lenovo S10? Been dying to try OSX86 on my netbook!
Thanks!
Success on a Dell Precision Workstation 690 (following grief with both iDeneb and Kalyway), dual booting Windows XP.
I don’t use the integrated SAS 1068 controller, because when I did get that working (with Kalyway) by adding string pc1000, 54 to AppleLSIFusionMPT, it only worked to the extent of recognising the disks provided they weren’t set up as a RAID array (IM). Given this limitation, the SAS 1068 controller provides no benefit over the vanilla SATA controller, so I connected the drives to that (another benefit is that you don’t need to download extra drivers from Dell in order to install XP).
iPC 10.5.6 and Intel DP35DP mobo.. Getting the AppleVIAATA: VIA UNKNOWN error in DVD load, cant even reach the install… When using default mode (not -V), it just hangs at the beachball load screen of install..
Got exactly same error when using iDeneb 10.5.6
On previous line of errors, it says something about like, “Bus blocked device” too…
Please help me. Mouse is Not working. I am able to see the installation’s ‘–>’ button.
It’s really depressing that mouse is not working. Please help!
I am Not able to install, hence.
Mouse Not working. (HP Mouse, Microsoft Wireless Mouse.)
Mouse Ps/2 and ps/2 keyboard. Also tried USB Keyboard and Ps/2 mouse.
Works with older 10.4.8 JaS PPF2 AMD disc though.
@harry
I’m trying to install IPC on a Dell PRecision 690 as well. However it doesn’t see the hard drives. I didin’t completely understand your post. Can you explain what was needed to do to get the OS X installer to see the internal hard drive(s)?
Thanks
@marshun
Hi, all problems related to: Still waiting for root device are caused by ATA DVD drive. I was trying to load some ATA kext’s without any success. Then in desperation I bought DVD on sata and iPC ver5 worked as harm, instantly. The only problem I’ve got now is low resolution on Radeon x1250.
My rig is:
Asus M2A-VM, Athlon X2 4400+, Seagete SATA disk, LG SATA DVD writer.
i like it thx
Thanks for this update, I am new to this. been wanting to get it for a while. But the install gets to the testing of sleep, then just sits there saying waiting for root device. Help? Pls?
@harry
Harry I have a Dell 690 also and want to do a Vanilla install but when I try to go into Disk utility I can not see my hard drives. Is there any help you can give in order to do a proper install.

@Nadda
