This looks absolutely brilliant. Thank you my friend. I only came across this after I randomly ticked patch boxes, so hopefully I can still get this going somehow.

Sorry for the hassle, but how does one install the CMFSupport_fix? I have googled and can't find anything.

 

Also, I found that the "About this Mac" info displays my CPU as 1.6 rather than 2.53, I have installed the About this Mac fix but this hasn't seemed to work.

 

Would you be able to assist?

Just drag CFMSupport to /System/Library to overwrite the original one.

 

I don't know why yours doesn't work, it works perfectly on my laptop. Maybe you need to update the BIOS? (If you are using dv5t) HP released new BIOS recently which added microcode support to many CPUs.

 

ps: If you finished installation of sound, plz tell me whether that works after wakeup.

[ecue_jacky]

Thank you RaidenII's Tut for installing osx86 10.5.5. Sound card and networks card work. I still can't get my GF 9600M GT works. can you give more detail on installing kexts and NVDarwin. Thank you very much.

Well I have a dv7-1003tx, and yes I am on the older bios, so I'll update that first and then retry.

 

In regards to sound, I don't actually have that working yet.

 

I've tried age_sabres18's kexts, as well as yours and I still get

"no devices" for either input or output in the System Preferences.

 

Without wanting to bombard you here:

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:293e] (rev 03)

Intel High Definition Audio:

Device ID: 0x103C30F4

Audio ID: 12

Available Devices:

Microphone:

Connection: Internal

Speaker:

Connection: Internal

Microphone:

Connection: 1/8 inch Jack

 

 

I've read a lot, edited kexts, and installed the kexts with both OSX86tools and Kext Helper because I thought I may have been installing incorrectly. I'm a bit lost really.

 

Any tips?

 

Cheers

It seems that your card is not the same as mine so my kexts might not work properly on yours. See here for help: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127227

Enter the single user mode, delete any kexts existed there, install kexts I offered, and install NVDarwin. Don't reboot until rebuilt the cache and repaired permissions. That might work. If not, you got to reinstall iDeneb and try again. (I don't know why but this might work; I reinsalled iDeneb for 7 times for that)

[Hatch]

Ok thanks for that, it seems that I might have to setup my own config.

 

Just to clarify my device id (from windows) is ..293e8086, I remember xyrtao saying that the device ids in System Profile are nonsense.

I doubt I have a different sound card as the other DV7 users.

 

I'll have to do some research on NVDarwin.

 

Cheers

We have the same HDA Controller but not the sound card.

 

Maybe yours is not 92HD71B7.

[tha_toadman]

oh bada$$! i just recently bought a dv5t and it's a sweet laptop but i have no audio or wifi. i configured mine on HP's site and i opted for the wireless-g instead of intel so from the manual, my broadcom is supported...just need to get it working now. i'll add my specs to my sig sometime this week. thanks guys for this excellent guide!

 

btw, i'm using iDeneb 10.5.5...webcam and kb/mouse worked OOB unlike JaS 10.5.4

[Hatch]

Sorry RaidenII but in order for me to figure out all this Hardware & Device ID mumbo jumbo, could you post me a screen shot of where you look for your sound card - 92HD71B7? Is it in a Windows - Device Manager or OSX System Profiler?

Sorry I made a mistake. 92HD71B7 is the model name I detected with Everest.

The devid is 111D76B2.

In Device Manager-Sound-IDT HDA Codec-Details-Hardware Ids

[Hatch]

Thanks for the image, here's mine:

 

 

It's the same except for : SUBSYS_103C30F4.

 

Unless there is something else, I guess I have to setup my own PinConfig...I read something about that, it looked pretty complicated.

 

Cheers

Yeah I think you need to modify the pinconfig.

[ckybam69]

dude you are a god! i have been trying for weeks to get 10.5.5 working on my dv5t i tried every damn configuration i could think of and none of them worked and then i tumbled across your post and its working finally. one question though, what tempature does your comp usually run at? mine is running at 105 degress Farenheit and i am thinking that is really high but im not sure.

[ckybam69]

hey raiden thanx for you guide man. everything you said worked for me except that the sound doesnt work on wakeup, but also my sound plays through the speakers and headphones at a lower volume when i plug headphones in, does this/did this happen to you? if so what did you do to fix it?

 

edit: i got this problem fixed using the link in this post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132495 i think its post #10 from sabres. just incase any1 else is having this problem try that kext

VGA Video Out - both screens go black & install guide...

 

This is a great install guide and I followed it with iDeneb 10.5.5 1.3 for a dv7 HP. I did find that I needed to check the IOUSBFamilyFix during the initial install to get USB to function. I tried reinstalling just the IOUSBFamilyFix and that was a BIG mistake. I had to reformat the hard drive and install again.

 

Also, this guide to getting VGA Video Out works with 9600 M GT card (otherwise both screens go black):

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry859248

 

I did find that PlistEditPro didn't work directly to the SYSTEM/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS so I:

 

1. made a copy of both NVinject.kext (and) NVinjectGo.kext (after installing NVinstaller v.52) to a folder on the desktop

2. changed the NVCAP value as per instructions

3. Then used Kext Helper 0.7 to install the kext.

4. Repaired permissions

5. Rebooted.

 

I hope it helps someone else.

 

-update-

 

I was having some problem with my system recognizing my CPU speed (everything said it was 1.2 Ghz when it was actually 2 Ghz. To fix the problem I installed: GenericCPUPowerManagement Kext (Use version 1.02, thanks for the tip ashivad!) and GenericCPUPowerManagement Application. Here is the link (site has a link to the download):

 

http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/forum/t-106649...o-more-coolbook

 

I think you only need to install the kext but I didn't notice the change until after I followed all of the install instructions.

If any of you know anything about programming you might have better luck writing your own drivers.

Give a man a driver you have fed him for today. Teach a man to write drivers and you have fed him for a lifetime.

Hi! I've been trying to install the 9600m GT driver but after I reboot I get a message saying something about:

nvdarwin.kext wasn't installed properly. When I boot to -X everything seems OK, res is right - 1680 x 1050.

I've been spending hours trying to fix it. Mac OSX isn't that simple like they describe it to be.

 

Any ideas?

[kidamnesiac]

Hi guys i'm stuck with a problem in my new hackbook (hp pavilion dv5-1170el.)

the problem i'm facing is with this damn Optiarc DVD RW AD-7561S SATA drive.

It forced me to install from an usb dvd rom since kept stopping at the still waiting for root device error plus it's not even recognized by leopard.

when i put it off the notebook System Profiler updates informations about Serial-ATA correctly showing my hard drive and the four port ich9 controller.

But with the Optiarc plugged Profiler says "There was an error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices"

 

So my question is that simple:

Which SATA DVD RW drive should i buy to make it work under leopard?

thanks.

[ckybam69]

u need to install the ich sata driver

[kidamnesiac]

i did.

my hd drive icon is not the orange one but the classic metal one.

just the sata dvd isn't recognozed.

Yep, make sure you're running 10.5.5 at least.

Thanks mikap1! That got my VGA going. But I used to have Quartz Extreme with NVdarwin and my 9600m GT 512MB (on an hp dv7-1270us ). Did you get QE with this setup?

 

Thanks
