Hey guys, first of all i'd like to say thanks for an awesome tutorial but I got a small problem. I got a nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512mb and OSX isn't seeing it as a 9800GTX+ - It just says "Graphics by NVIDIA" and Core Image is software and Quartz Extreme is not supported but QuartzGL is supported. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? This is preventing me from using Aperture and other applications. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

If I was you I'l try this:

Hey thanks for the reply! I tried this and it didn't work. Everything is exactly the same as if I didn't do anything.

 

Did you verify if your model (dev.id) is listed in info.plist ?

 

Did you change de NVinject ? like mentionned here ?

http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/nv...9800gtxwww.html

 

Or try this method:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98666

 

Beware also on permissions on your kext !!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I had my HD4850 working I had the same trouble with my 7900GS.

 

I resolved it with GFX strings ad to info.plist

with the OSx86 Tools Utility

http://######.com/index.php?option=...1&Itemid=48

"Add EFi strings /Boot flag"

 

Important: When you use this method you have to eliminate Nvkush and/or Nvinject kext before reboot !

 

 

Good luck

use the nvkush.kext ( I put it directly in /System/Library/Extensions)

http://325i.org/2009/01/28/howto-use-a-pc-...a-real-mac-pro/

remove also nvinject.kext

 

be happy!

Hello!, it´s my first post here.

 

First of all, thanks to Digital Dreamer and Wolfienuke. [end]

 

My system is standard at this post, it´s a GA-EX58-UD5 with WOLFIENUKE'S BOOT.

 

After a week of try-outs, everythings it´s perfect, fast and realiable, I mean:

a. Graphics 7200GS by EFI string. (EQ/Hardware/GL).

b. Audio OK

c. Standby, some strange behaviour after it.

d. USB hotplug perfect with voodoo 9.6

e. Ethernet perfect both ports.

 

I have read the full posts, but haven´t been posible to open a VM in VMWARE FUSION 2.0.1 or 2.0.2. I can install and executate without changes but when a VM is turn on, a PANIC comes to screen.

 

Also installed EFI_Boot_Files.zip from Digital Dreamers in the Wolfienuke, everything ok but not running VMs.

 

If somebody can point me in the way I will apreciate.

 

If somebody needs helps with its GA-EX58-UD5, I will be pleased in the points that I have been successfully.

 

Salut!

Remember to delete nvinject, and scroll up this page. My first page details how I fixed this problem. BTW, I have the exact same gfx card as you. You gotta download the drivers and Universal Installer. I think I even included the search string I used to find it in my earlier post.

Fusion doesn't work any more (yes it crashes)

Parallels and VirtualBox do work.

 

 

  1. BIOS
    > Integrated Peripherals
    - SATA RAID / AHCI Modo
    - AHCI
  2. I have iATKOS_5i.iso in SATA HDD. But after restarting the installation:
    Code introduced: 
    rd (0,1) / mach_kernel.voodoo busratio = 20-v-f rd = disk0s2

    .

:angel:

 

as digital_dreamer said it in #444 put the UUID (GUID) of the partition in your com.apple.boot.plist

This one worked nicely! Thanks guys for the help. But now my CPU says its at it's stock speed when I have it overclocked and the gpu says its 256MB - Im not sure if thats normal?

I personally didn't mess with any kexts and went with a device string in the com.apple.boot.plist. I have the same card and it identifies the card correctly with QE. This has been mentioned back in this thread if you care to look. Otherwise just follow this tutorial:

    .

;)

There should be no spaces in each of the kernel flags, only between the flags. The above flags should appear like the following:

rd(0,1)/mach_kernel.voodoo busratio=20 -v -f rd=disk0s2

#444 UUID (GUID) of the partition in your com.apple.boot.plist

 

The "rd=disk0s2" tells the kernel to load the OS located on disk 0, partition 2.

The problem with using this description is that the disk identifier here can easily change based on what disks were ready and readable at boot time, in the order they are ready. As each disk spins up and is ready, it takes the next number. If another disk is added, like a CD/DVD, or another one is removed, these identifiers shuffle and may no longer identify the same disk (compared to a previous boot).

The best way to avoid this confusion is to use the UUID (Universal Unique ID). Each disk is given one when initialized.

Go in Disk Utility, click on the partition you want to boot from (partition, not drive), click Info, and you will see this 32-character string displayed in 5 groups, separated by hyphens.

Taken this string and use it, instead of the ever-changing "diskXsX".

Example format:

boot-uuid=5683BF1A-40D6-36E6-9E0C-769814404199

 

This can be included in the boot.plist with the other kernel flags you have, like busratio=20 -v

 

regards,

MAJ

 

EDIT: You have a iATKOS_5i.iso on a HDD??

I'm not sure what you expect to do with it. Why don't you burn it to a DVD?

Even if you managed to run iATKOS off of that HD, you certainly won't be able to install OS X on the same drive.

I'm a complete noob at this, so maybe I'm just going about this wrong.

 

I've tried wolfienuke's method of installing by doing the following:

 

1)Putting an empty drive into a mac pro - formatted as HFS+ and GUID Partition Table

2)Installing Mac OS X 10.5.6 from a disk image (should be a retail dvd and it boots fine on the mac pro)

3)Logging in with the Mac Pro to this new install to create a username and password

4)Copy Kexts from the download into User/Name/Extensions

5)Run EFI script

6)Yank drive from mac and put it in PC

7)Turn on AHCI in Integrated Peripherals

 

I am getting this on bootup

 

post-400683-1238145679_thumb.jpg

 

And it hangs there.

 

I'm guessing this might have something to do with the UUID?

 

Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

Thankyou Tsunoo, I thought Digital Dreamers´s screemshot shown VMWARE software running.

 

Also I have tried versions previos 2.0.2 and 2.0.1, I think an older 1.3 and same Panic screen.

VRAM (gesamt): 256 MB

Yes I have the same problem.

But I think Mac OS X doesn't need more.

You're right but it *really* doesn't work any more. :(

 

4)Copy Kexts from the download into User/Name/Extensions

a) You don't need step 4!

B) the UUID log : it's ok

 

I think (I'm not an expert) you copied too much kexts files and one of it is incompatible with your PC.

have you got the dmos.kext in there? if not add it, if your using appledecrypt, try dmos, if your using dmos, try apple decrypt. this is what solved those errors for me in the end. i was stuck like that for 4 weeks!

If you're using wolfienuke's method, you must leave your OS X install fresh and untouched. Don't add any kexts. Wolfienuke's script puts the needed kexts on the EFI partition.

 

 

Thankyou Tsunoo, I thought Digital Dreamers´s screemshot shown VMWARE software running.

 

Also I have tried versions previos 2.0.2 and 2.0.1, I think an older 1.3 and same Panic screen.

Once upon a time I had VMware running on the Boot from EFI partition setup. Not anymore.

However, it does run on the boot-132 setup and still does, once you restart the VMware daemon. That's where the screenshot is taken from.

MAJ

Do you mean dsmos.kext? I have that in the extensions folder for the script.

 

Do you mean that I should I try deleting the dsmos.kext from the extensions folder of the script and replacing it with the apple decrypt kext?

I'm VERY new to this. I think I see what to do, I just don't know how...(and I think I'm mixing up the steps from different methods).

 

I want to install retail OSX using wolfienuke's method. The following seems like an easy way:

 

Ok, I have the GA-EX58-UD5 board. I want to do the EFI install. For me to do that can I just

1. plug my hackintosh hard drive into my mac pro

2.then install original OS X on the hackintosh drive

3.then run the EFI script on the hackintosh drive

4. then plug that hackintosh drive into my hackintosh and it will work?

 

Or how else do you go about doing the EFI install? Do I have it right or do I have to do it another way?

 

Thanks for your help!! ;)

 

I've built a new machine from scratch and read forums until my eyes bled. I just don't know how to get started.

 

Can I plug in my new HD to my iMac with a sata-to-usb adapter and do the same thing (as long as it's a retail version)?

 

Does this method not need the new machine booted with a boot 132 disc 1st? Though I've found the slim boot 132 cd creator, I'm a little lost on how to make it.

 

Do I have to install kalyway or iPC? If so, how do I do that on my empty machine?

 

I hope I can get some non-generic feedback and thanks in advance.

Your proposed steps should work just fine.

Install from the iMac, run script, and move drive to new system. Perfect.

Doing the install from the new system is not needed, it is just installing on that drive that important.

 

The only possible issue is your graphics card, whatever it is. But, you can just deal with that after the install.

 

best of wishes!

Well I'm a total noob and I have managed to install os x. I am totally surprised I managed it.

I had to buy an extra disk and install IPC on it before going with the Digital Dreamer install which is

dead easy when you run it about 10 times... :)

 

Anyway thanks to the you guys for the help ..

I'm considering building an i7 box and am torn between this board and an Asus P6T. Can wolf's script work without access to a Mac?

 

EDIT: I do have access to a Macbook Pro with 10.4.x on it if that'll work though.

 

It will work
