AiBear Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Well, that took care of the constant reboot! Thanks! Unfortunately, now it just freezes at the grey screen with the apple!apw: please boot with the -v (verbose) flag as well, so you can see what the system does at the moment it hangs.

Heheh... If you ask whether you can have all cores working under iDeneb, why are they switched on in the first place?It looks like you left all cores and HT on - turn them off, run the DSDT patcher, install the custom DSDT.aml and *then* turn them back on. (for info on doing the patch, refer to the first post in this thread, among others). Happy hackintoshing! AiBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AiBear Earlier I tried just using 1 core, but it didnt work(i forgot to disable HyperThreading). Thanks to you, the boot process goes much farther, but it eventually stops. The first attempt, it just stopped at this screen and wouldn't go any further, so I restarted the pc. The next time, it stopped at a different place, but I let it sit this time. After a little while, my my video output stopped. I had to restart the pc again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A widely known problem by now on our boards is that the system takes some time to react while booting, between 7 and 10, sometimes up to 15 minutes. If waiting won't work, try booting with the -x and -F flags - safe boot and rebuild mkext flags respectively, if I'm not mistaken, although the -x should have big impact and should be the one to use on your first try. Good luck! AiBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endorphine Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 HI all, I'm going to try this installation in the next days, with my P6T Deluxe. I just don't understand wich version of osx leopard retail disk you guys have used. It's 10.5.6 just fine? non need to update... Or i have to go to earlier version of the retail dvd, (10.5.0-10.5.4) as many of your posts says? Or is this just not a problem? every retail disk works fine? Thank you all.

Or is this just not a problem? every retail disk works fine? Thank you all. Most people have used versions prior to 10.5.6, as those were the ones they had (I for example have 10.5.0, and I'm not going to buy it again just to have a newer version ). The install should work on all versions, although many people using 10.5.6 have reported problems.. If it doesn't work, try borrowing or getting an image of an older version, and update it afterwards. Chenda , Can you post your EFI for non Deluxe? my problems is everytime i mount a .dmg file , it panic... thankyou This is a common problem with 10.5.6 (and 10.5.5 files). Please replace your seatbelt.kext with the one from 10.5.5; you can find it around the forum. Good luck to both, AiBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pga Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 All Done..... Hi guys, thought i'd report in that my i7 Asus P6T Deluxe is up and fully working Normal Boot Lan Firewire Sound Video with Extreme Qurtz...7600gt Vmware Fusion running Logic & Ableton running We did make my nVidia GTX 260 running @ 1920x1200x32 but on most web pages tearing appears when scrolling, so we replaced it with the 7600gt. Only 1 minor issue to report...... in system info it reports 1cpu and 4 cores, even thought I've patched correctly it at first showed no cpu's & 7 cores before I upgraded to 10.5.6, it feels like all of the chip is being used so i guess its just a reporting error..... Thoughts anyone... But a BIG BIG thanks to are of you guys for posting and replying to my messages..... Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrah Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I can install 10.5.0 fine with and without cores=all but I've tried again and again and again to install 10.5.5 or .6 and every single time I haven't been able to boot following the update. Is there anything special required during the .5 or .6 update that isn't mentioned in the instructions? I read through the entire thread twice and I don't remember anyone having this same problem.

Hi there...... What my rig needed after the update to 10.5.6 was 2 reboots.....on the first reboot after the install the boot back into the OS hung which forced the second reboot and then Bingo.... Gonna be trying a fresh install with the Chamelon 2 rc2 this weekend, a friend has managed it... so instead of using the Bootloader 132......format a second drive from with your working osx as GUID then install Chamelon..... followed by installing osx from your working Mac install through terminal to the newly formatted drive..... A friend has done this with a x48 Asus Rampage........ Fingers Crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was the same all good until I ran the 10.5.6 update and then it stopped booting. I removed all the Hard Drives and DVD Drives, then plugged the SATA drive with OSX into port 1 and left the rest off, booted fine then. After this I put all the other drives back in and made sure the Drive UUID in the com.apple.Boot.plist is correct and it's all good from then.

jerrah Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I've tried multiple reboots. Sata HDD is in SATA1 DVD in SATA2. Is it significant that EFI PACK v2 has IntelCPUPMDisabler and V3 doesn't? I'll try again tonight and post the point at which it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defjae Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I managed to install iDeneb v1.4 with ease. My only big issue is the very slow SATA access. It sees all my drives, but ones I open them it takes more than 5 minutes for me to see the content. Formating or unmounting the drives takes for ever, majority of the time it fails. I'm using Asus P6T non deluxe, I'm not sure if im using the correct drivers for the Sata. Any thoughts or ideas???? Intel ICH10R Southbridge JMicron JMB363 SATA & PATA controller I hope that helps some what.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defjae Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Did you get support for four cores in iDeneb v1.4? Uhmm good question, in the bios i enabled all the processors and I use busratio=20. Funny you asked in the about mac it only shows that I have 7 processors instead of 8. Do you think that has something to do with the SATA drives being slow?

dpl Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Chris, Did you ever get past the freezing screen? I'm up to that point now with a slight difference; when I run disk util it can't see my HDD, just my DVD drive (which is a USB, not SATA) It freezes after about a minute as well though. Anyone get past this issue for V2's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrah Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm not having that issue with the V2 but I do have trouble installing updates beyond 10.5.0 and having it boot correctly afterwards.

LebanonJon Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey guys, been reading this thread a lot and getting SOOO close to a good install. Thanks for the help my rig Asus P6T6 WS Revolution Core i7 920 EVGA 9800GT GSkill DDR3 1600 6GB 250GB SATA dont have a retail copy right now so I'm messing around with iDeneb1.4 So I installed iDeneb1.4, I can boot with flags, busratio=20 -v I got the LAN, audio, video all working fine, but I can't get all the cores enabled. Tried DSDT patcher exactly like in MJ's tutorial, on the -v boot I can see all the 8 cores enabled, but once I'm on the desktop and use system profiler I only see 1 core. I used the cpus=1 fix in the iDeneb options, is this what is messing it up? thanks dudes, you rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asgmodeus Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I have been trying for weeks now to get a stable install on the Asus Rampage II Extreme, however I have managed to boot into osx a couple of times, I can't find a stable install. I have all newest editions of boot's such as iatkos, ideneb, leo4all and xxx. I will switch to a retail install, but I want to wait till Snow Leopard comes out to spend money on an official release. Supposably iDeneb v4 should just work, there are more than a dozen comments, on iDeneb being installed with ease. However doesn't seem to work for me. Which parts of customize under the install are essential/ worked for you? Which bios settings did you use? Could really use some help, tried all kinds of installs, and customize options, all kind of boot options. Essential information about the system: Asus Rampage II Extreme with bios 903 Core i7 940 DDR3 1600 9800GT Hybrid Power Sata 1,5 TB configured as AHCI ( 3 equal partitions, 2 still empty) Did a couple of P45 Intel builds but can't seem to get this working with leopard..

dpl Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Could the freezing problem during installation for p6t deluxe v2's (freezes after about 1-2 minutes into the installing screen with no error) be related to the AppleIntelCPUManagement timing out? Could this cause the CPU to overheat and stop working? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
