Leopard on Pre-AGP
Written by jimjamyahauk
| Leopard on Pre-AGP | |
| My mod challenge was to get Leopard running on the old Beige G3, B&W G3 (with G4 upgrade) and Yikes! G4 computers and ended up getting it running on a PowerMac 8500! Many people had successfully installed retail Leopard onto AGP-based G4s well below the 867Mhz speed threshold – but no one had got any pre-AGP mac to boot. |  |
Overview
As the owner of a Beige G3 desktop and AIO with G4-upgrades and maxed out ram, running Tiger, I really wanted to see if Leopard could run, and if it could was it at a useable speed.
Many people have upgraded their Beige and B&W workhorses, and as they were so ubiquitous, it seemed a worthy aim to get one more gasp of life from them.
It took about 6 months of tinkering in my spare time to complete this mod, most of which was spent trying to understand the boot process of Mac OS X and what had changed between Tiger and Leopard. I started with the early beta of Leopard - the one that was handed out at the 2006 WWDC. I used a Digital Audio G4 to pre-install the Mac OS X onto an IDE hard drive, along with OS 9 and Xpostfacto, which I then transferred to the Beige G3. Xpostfacto was used to setup booting into Mac OS X.
After having problems getting booting to complete on the Beige, and thinking it was graphics-related, due to the kernel panicking just before loading the graphical user interface (GUI), I sourced a B&W G3 from work, which successfully booted WWDC 2006 straight away.
Focusing on the B&W G3 I then attempted to get the retail version of Leopard running, but immediately ran into problems where it would stall very early on in the boot process. Convinced that there couldn’t be too many changes between Tiger, WWDC 2006 Leopard Beta and Leopard Retail I tried to trace the changes, and read-up on the finer points of the Mac OS X boot process (the kernel, platform drivers, kernel extensions, etc).
After narrowing the problem and main differences down to missing kernel extensions I spent most of the remaining time trying out various combinations of kernel extensions and Unix permissions on these extensions in order to get them all functioning. There was a lot of back-and-forward between the Digital Audio G4 to modify the files and placing the drive back in the B&W to see if it would boot. Eventually, I hit upon success and after successfully booting the B&W I then replicated this success on the Beige.
Surprisingly, in terms of speed Leopard runs reasonably well, certainly bearable on the Beige and feels almost comparable to my Dual G4 533Mhz on the B&W with a Core-Image enabled PCI 5200 graphics card – which seems to make all the difference in Leopard.
Then, after acquiring a PowerMac 8500 via work I also attempted to get Leopard running on this with a G4 upgrade. With the help of another work-donated PowerMac 9600 both of these are also running Leopard!
So, if you have a G4-upgraded PCI-based PowerMac, Beige, B&W or a Yikes! G4, with plenty of memory, recent graphics card and a large hard disk, it is now possible to run Leopard on such a machine should you wish to. It also shows how much service you can get out of your Mac and still run the latest OS version with a bit of hacking!

Process
Part 1 - Getting the WWDC 2006 Leopard Beta to work
People had successfully installed the WWDC 2006 on G3 iBooks – so I thought that this would be a good start to see if this could be booted on a Beige G3. Using a Digital Audio G4 to boot from the WWDC 2006 DVD I installed this onto a 7.7GB partition on an IDE hard drive via an external Firewire connection, also adding Mac OS 9 and Xpostfacto to a separate 2GB parition. (n.b. A 7.7GB partition was used due to an 8Gb IDE read limit problem in the oldworld ROMs).
 |
 |
| Digital Audio and IDE HD attached via Firewire and booted into WWDC 2006 installer. |
|
I then transferred the HD to the Beige G3 and booted into OS 9, with a CRT monitor attached to the onboard video. In OS 9 I used Xpostfacto to install older missing kexts and change to the nvram for booting, as well as selecting ‘verbose’ mode to see the boot process in text.
 |
 |
| Beige G3 booted in OS 9, using Xpostfacto to configure boot options. | |
I restarted and, hey presto Mac OS X started loading – however it kernel panicked before any familiar log in window came up.
 |

 |

According to the verbose mode text the LoginWindow.app application had loaded (which loads just before the graphical user interface (GUI) is initialized) and then the kernel panic had occurred. The backtrace for the kernel panic stated that IOPCIFamily.kext, IOGraphicsFamily.kext extensions were involved with the crash – which I deduced meant that it had probably crashed whilst trying to load the graphics driver as the GUI was started. As WWDC 2006 Leopard had loaded fine on my Digital Audio G4 and people had successfully installed Leopard Retail on the lowest G4-AGP based Macs and G4-upgraded Pismos laptops I thought that it was the lack of an AGP bus that was causing the problem – and hence would not be possible to solve.
But anyway, I tried Plan B – which was to install an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI card, attached to the CRT monitor and try booting again.

This time it booted to a blue screen – but then hung. My inkling was that the internal video was still affecting the boot process. I thought well I can’t disable the internal video, so what’s like a Beige G3 but without an onboard graphics chip… the B&W G3 Tower!
I found one for free after e-mailing round at work and tried the same process as above – with the ATI Radeon 9200 PCI installed as the graphics adapter - and it booted all the way to the GUI! This clearly pointed to the internal video of the Beige being the problem.

After ‘Googling’ around the internet I found on an apple forum instructions (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122766&tstart=589) for disabling the onboard video on a Beige G3 via open firmware, which you invoke at startup with Apple-Alt-O-F. No cable was attached to the internal video port (attaching something automatically activates it, even with the instructions performed below).
Once in open firmware I typed:
setenv pci-probe-list fffbffff [return]
set-defaults [return]
reset-all [return]
 |
| The Beige G3 in OpenFirmware |
After this last command the Beige G3 re-booted into OS 9. At this point I could tell the open firmware trick had worked as the internal RagePro graphics didn’t show up as an output option in Xpostfacto. I rebooted via Xpostfacto into OS X and this time it booted all the way the GUI!
Part 2 - Getting Retail Leopard to work
As the B&W G3 booted straight away into WWDC 2006 Leopard I used this as the main focus of getting Leopard Retail to work. I used the same process as before to install Leopard to the hd, and set-up booting from within OS 9. As G3 support had been removed in the final retail version of Leopard I upgraded the B&W G3 to a 600Mhz G4 zif from Daystar/XLR8 (http://daystartechnology.com/Apple_Mac_Products/XLR8_Macintosh_Products/Mac_CPU_G4_Upgrade_ZIF_PS.html).
On booting it didn’t get very far – it hung with a ‘PlatformExpert’ cannot be found error. The PlatformExpert kernel extension (specific to every design family of Mac) identifies the machine properties and kernel extensions necessary for booting.
I then swapped the HD, CPU upgrade and ATI 9200 PCI over to the Beige and this had the same problem. As booting had occurred successfully with WWDC 2006 Leopard I wondered if this kernel extension had been removed from the retail version. In order to figure out what had changed between WWDC 2006 Leopard and Leopard Retail I used Pacifist to extract all of the kernel extensions from 10.4 Tiger, WWDC Leopard 2006, Retail Leopard and Xpostfacto and compared the files.
I discovered that 10.4 Tiger and WWDC 2006 Leopard had the same number of kernel extensions, but that Retail Leopard had a few missing:
- AppleCuda.kext (handles ADB mouse and power management function and sound)
- AppleGossamer.kext (PlatformExpert for Beige G3, B&W and Yikes! G4 - i.e. the platform driver)
- AppleHeathrow.kext (driver for the Heathrow chip on Beige G3 which handles IDE/ATA)
- AppleGracklePCI.kext (driver for the Grackle chip Beige G3/B&W which handles memory management and IDE/ATA and PCI slots)
- HeathrowATA.kext (driver for the ATA controller section of Heathrow chip)
- CMD646ATA.kext (driver for the ATA controller on the B&W)
Taking the HD back over the Digital Audio G4 I copied the above extensions into /System/Library/Extensions/ and set the correct permissions with Batchmod (http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/Welcome.html) and also cleared the kernel cache at /System/Library/Extensions.mkext, /System/Library/Extensions/Cache/ and /System/Library/Caches/.
 |
 |
| The missing kexts and the permissions set via Batchmod screenshot | |
n.b Xpostfacto automatically installs other kernel extensions which have been missing from Mac OS X since 10.0 and 10.2 to support the Beige G3 and earlier machines on 10.3 and 10.4. The problem here was that as Xpostfacto wasn’t being developed anymore and Apple had omitted more kexts – booting support for the Beige G3 in Retail Leopard was not possible without these missing kernel extensions.
Moving the HD back to the B&W (along with the G4 upgrade) booting proceeded further, with a few errors of IOGraphicsFamily.kext', 'AppleCuda.kext', 'IOFirewireFamily.kext not loading and then a kernel panic at the same point of IOGraphicsFamily.kext as with WWDC 2006 Leopard on the Beige with internal video enabled.
Back to the Digital Audio G4 – and on the hunch that as these problem kernel extensions had loaded ok in WWDC 2006 Leopard it would be worth a try to copy these and replace the newer ones present in Retail Leopard – I deleted the newer ones of IOGraphicsFamily.kext', 'AppleCuda.kext', 'IOFirewireFamily.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ and put the WWDC 2006 ones back in, setting permissions with Batchmod.
Back to the B&W and a successful boot then occurred!!!

Eager to replicate this success on the Beige G3 I transferred the HD and CPU upgrade, and Radeon 9200 PCI and booted via OS 9 and Xpostfacto and open firmware to disable the onboard video, and booted successfully into Leopard Retail!

At this point I also noticed that the internal ethernet, Firewire and usb 1.1 were not working on the B&W. I used FileBuddy to compare the WWDC 2006 and Leopard Retail kexts and found the following differences where the following were missing from Leopard Retail compared to WWDC 2006:

Printing-Info.plist
All of the missing kexts I had identified before were listed, along with additional ones which were hidden within the bowels of other kernel extensions. Out of the above list I thought the ones listed below were likely to be for the B&W Ethernet (AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext, AppleDP83816Ethernet.kext, AppleYukon.kext), which lived in AppleIONetworkingFamily.kext and for Firewire AppleLynx.kext, which lived inside IOFirewireFamily.kext.
I copied these missing ‘sub-kexts’ into their respective ‘master’ kexts and also copied the WWDC 2006 Leopard version of IOUSBFamily.kext into /System/Library/Extensions/ and this, upon setting the correct permissions and rebooting, solved the problem.
Part 3 - Updates
Pleased as pie that I’d finally managed to get Leopard Retail booting on the Beige G3 I thought I’d try and update the system – BIG mistake… an error occurred where it couldn’t even find the platform driver for the Beige G3.
The only way (so far) I’ve managed to make an update stick properly is to take a fresh-install of 10.5.0 via a Digital Audio G4, apply 10.5.4 combo update – add the missing kernel extensions and then follow the same process as before. Updating from within system running on a Beige G3 or B&W always resulted in the platform driver not found error.
Part 4 - Pimp my B&W
Following the hack on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/Mac_PCI_FX5200/mac_PCI_FX5200.html
I managed to successfully flash a PC-version of a PCI 5200 graphics card and get it working on the B&W with Leopard Retail, which now supports core image and is surprisingly smooth/quick.

Part 5 - Delving deeper into the past (via the PowerMac 8500)
After acquiring a free PowerMac 8500 via work I was pondering if this could also be made to run Leopard retail – as there were reports of successful installs of Tiger on this via Xpostfacto – much like the Beige G3s.
Wanting to find out I purchased 1GB EDO ram and a Sonnet Crescendo 1Ghz CPU upgrade. Using Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) I made a backup of the successful booting configuration from the Beige G3 for future use.
Unlike the Beige and B&W all the missing kernel extensions for supporting older macs, like the PowerMac 8500, were already included in Xpostfacto. In case it was still possible to use xpostfacto I installed a fresh copy of 10.5 Retail to a 7GB partition on a 250GB S-ATA HD, using the Digital Audio G4. On the PowerMac 8500 I booted from a 9.1 CD and installed this onto the internal SCSI HD, along with Xpostfacto. I shut down and then added a Sonnet S-ATA PCI card, and attached the 250GB to this. The monitor was attached to the internal video. Booting from the SCSI HD I then ran Xpostafcto, selected the 7GB partition to boot from, and restarted.
 |
| PowerMac 8500 with PCI cards installed |
Booting was successful until the AppleCuda.kext extensions didn’t load quite early on – and this stopped any further booting. Having already sorted this type of thing out with the Beige G3 I then cloned the backup image of the successful boot partition from the Beige to the 7GB partition on the S-ATA HD, using the Digital Audio G4.
After placing this back into the 8500, and following the same steps as previously booting occurred all the way to loading the GUI – except then a funny grey corrupted image appeared instead, and the computer froze with no further disk activity. Thinking that this seemed like a problem with the Beige internal video I then installed a Radeon 9200 PCI card and attached the monitor to this instead. On rebooting nothing came up on screen… and a whole lot of trouble started…
 |
| Grey/corrupted screen from PowerMac 8500 boot attempt. |
I moved the monitor back to the internal video, but no joy after the startup chime… it just sat there. I then tried a PRAM reset – nothing changed. I then tried a CUDA-button reset – no change. I removed the S-ATA PCI card and everything came back to life – successfully booting into OS 9. After a shutdown and re-installation of the S-ATA PCI card everything was behaving itself again. I can only assume that after trying to boot OS X the commands written to the nvram/pram had confused open firmware (OF)– and this wasn’t solved until the removal of the S-ATA card allowed OF to function properly again.
Starting from where I left off I attached the monitor to the ATI Radeon 9200, set Xpostfacto to boot OS X and restarted. A blank screen occurred! On a vague memory that older macs with built in video sometimes acted strange without anything attached the internal video, I attached a cable to the internal video port as a ‘dummy’ monitor and tried again. This time the video attached to the Radeon 9200 PCI came on and booting proceeded well until a crash, with the same symptoms as before. I assumed that this was due to the internal video being active. However this was now a cache-22 situation where the internal video needed something attached to let the Radeon 9200 display video – but that the internal video was causing a crash.
Following the same process as before I thought what’s like a PowerMac 8500, but without internal video… the PowerMac 9500! Following a request at work someone unearthed a PowerMac 9600 – which as far as I understand is the same as a 9500, with a better-designed case, and slightly updated ROMs to add support for faster 604e Mach 5 CPUs. All the I/O chips, etc, on the motherboard were meant to be the same.
Whilst picking up the 9600 I was also offered another 8500 which had a 400Mhz G4 CPU upgrade – how could I resist, especially as this was all for free.
I setup the PowerMac 9600 with the G4 400Mhz upgrade, stock 128MB RAM and added the Sonnet S-ATA card, Radeon 9200, and the 250GB HD. I also moved over the SCSI HD from the 8500 I’d been trying to boot. Trouble started again when I tried to boot Mac OS 9 – the computer hung there with a grey screen and cursor, but didn’t proceed any further. Looking on Apple’s old support site I found that SCSI ‘issues’ often caused such problems. As it had been several years since I’d used SCSI HDs I’d forgotten all about the intricacies of termination and IDs. It turned out that the SCSI HD I’d moved over wasn’t terminated properly. After changing a few jumpers on the HD and re-installing it everything booted fine into Mac OS 9.

I then used Xpostfacto to configure booting for OS X and restarted. Everything booted fine.. right to the GUI. This proved that the internal video of the 8500 was causing issues. At part of the boot process, where Mac OS X matches drivers and devices, I noticed that the ‘IO catalogue’ numbers were different, when compared to the PowerMac 8500. I could only assume that this was due to the lack of built in video. When booted up the PowerMac 9600 was actually indentified by Mac OS X as a 9500 – showing how similar these machines are to each other.

Back to the 8500, I configured everything as before, except this time tried the same trick as on the Beige G3 – disabling the onboard video via open firmware. Getting to open firmware was difficult, as on pre-Beige G3 machines open firmware defaults to outputting to the serial port – not the graphics card.
However I found that as long as I’d used Xpostfacto to set the output device explicitly to the Radeon 9200, after pressing apple-alt-O-F, it would display to the graphics card. Running the open firmware commands, everything seemed to be accepted, as I was worried that the earlier open firmware version of 1.0.5 (versus the Beige G3’s 2.1/2.4) would lead to problems.
setenv pci-probe-list fffbffff [return]
set-defaults [return]
reset-all [return]
Commands to disable onboard video
Booting into OS 9, I noticed that the internal video was still an output option in Xpostfacto – and restarting into OS X was no different to before – crashing at the grey / GUI loading stage. Remembering that on the Beige G3 the internal video was still activated if a connector was present, even if disabled in open firmware (with the above method), I figured that another way was needed.
After ‘Googling’ around I found several articles relating to controlling device properties via Open Firmware, specifically this article where someone had attempted to turn off their Level-2 motherboard cache on their PowerMac 9600 (http://www.geocities.com/pm9600g4/l2cache.html).
To try to apply this to the PowerMac 8500 I configured booting for OS X, and then went into open firmware.
I typed dev / ls to display all the devices on the 8500 motherboard that open firmware controlled. I knew that the internal video was called ‘choas’, the output device was called ‘control’, and the video input was called ‘planb’.
 |
| Results of dev / ls in openfirmware of PowerMac 8500 |
 |

vci0 was the shortcut for chaos. I then selected chaos by typing: dev vci0 and viewed it’s properties by typing .properties, which displayed the following:
 |
| Properties of chaos in open firmware of PowerMac 8500 |
To disable it I though I’d try and delete the name property by typing:
“ name” delete-property. This was accepted and I then ran the device listing by typing dev / ls and the name for chaos had disappeared:
 |
| Choas has been replaced by ?????? in open firmware |
To continue booting into Mac OS X I typed bye and booting started. This time the boot completed all the way to the GUI and it loaded quite quickly in comparison to the PowerMac 9600 - I think that 1Ghz G4 and the extra ram helped. The IO Catalogue scores now matched the ones of the PowerMac 9600 – meaning the internal video had been properly disabled.

I've been trying to get this one to work, myself, on a Blue and White. I get to the grey spinning apple and no farther (so far, it's gone as much as an hour with that logo). Would the fact that I used my G5 to do the install to the B&W's hard drive be an issue? IIRC, the G5 is a 64-bit chip, so is that causing the problems?

I got 10.5.8 running on my PM9600 with Sonnet 1Ghz. I initally installed on an iBook G4. I followed the write up here, and also Carlo's update to AppleMaceEthernet.kext and used 10.5's IONDRVSupport.kext
Built-in audio does not work, but the built-in mic does. Also System Profiler crashes when selecting the Display. Kernel panic shows the IONDRVSupport.kext and IOGraphicsFamily.kext
A IONDRVSupport.kext from 10.5.4 or 10.5.5 might fix this... I don't know really.
Gotta load up on some ram now.
Thanks James and Carlos

A IONDRVSupport.kext from 10.5.4 or 10.5.5 might fix this... I don't know really.
Gotta load up on some ram now.
Thanks James and Carlos

Hi jimjamyahauk,
Your experiment is really inspiring. That make me want to install 10.5 on my old old PowerMac 7300/Sonnent 1GHz/640MB/ATI 9200/IDE 160GB/SCSI DVD ROM/Mac OS 10.4.11
Could you send me those extensions for 10.5 installation?
Thanks,
Simon

I've gotten Leopard running on a PM9600 without using another mac to do the install. also upgraded to 10.5.6 and it's running, with ethernet networking.

I've e-mailed people that requested the kexts. Would be interesting to know if you're successful.

I would also like to try this on a 9600 (Unfortunatly I only have a macbook and a couple of ibook g3). I'm triing to run the installer of a partition on my disk (made an image of the dvd then restored to a partition) and it get's all the way to the IOPCI and IOGraphic family panic. i tried using the 10.4.11 extensions but I get a panic on boot. Can you please e-mail me the wwdc extensions. Thanks (cgecastro (at) gmail.com)

Do you have to have the WWDC kexts to do this with? Or will Tiger 4.11 kexts work? I've got a blue and white G4 that I'd love to get Leopard up and running on. (That, and a local guy has a 900MHz G4 Pismo upgrade that he's letting me have, since his Pismo bit the dust - all of my macs will have leopard... muah hah hah hah...)

This is fantastic! I'd love to get my B&W running leopard to keep it around as a server/seed box.
Is there any way you could email me the proper .kexts I need in order upgrade from my current tiger install to the most recent leopard release? I don't have access to the WWDC discs, but I have tiger and leopard.
thank you very much for this great guide!!

EXCELLENT and i will be voting for this mod 100%. So, if i wanted a second leopard machine for a family member that was cheap to buy, which one of the models that were tried above would be the best to buy? By this i mean which one would be easiest to configure?
