[GUIDE] Retail OS X Install (10.5.8) on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 (Core i7) Mobo

[joeblough]

Hi guys,

 

Although i've ploughed through this thread I haven't been able to tackle this one:

 

Debugger Called: Panic

Backtrace Cpu 6 Frame, Return Address (4 potential args on stack)

"..."

Backtrace termintaed- invalid frame pointer 0

Kernel laodable modules in backtrace with dependencies:

com.apple.driver. Apple HDA (1.6.8a3)

 

Mac OS version 9J61

 

do you have anything plugged into the front headphone port? how about the back? i get this if i boot with my front headphones plugged in...

 

Hi All

if anyone want sleep on 10.5.7 to work follow this link:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117029

 

or you can put this IOUSBFamily344.1.kext (credit to Slice)into the extra folder

IOUSBFamily344.1.kext.zip

 

My current Bios is: F8B

 

Thanks, hope I could help.

 

that's weird, sleep works fine for me on 10.5.7 without this hack... (UD4P bios F8a)

[knightprozac]

I haven't been able to get sleep working yet on my EX58-UD5 running bios F7.

 

I even tried the IOUSBFamily344.1.kext but still no dice.

 

Even tried updating to F8b but that didn't work so I've reverted back to F7.

 

Perhaps my 4890 card is causing the problem?

[FUT1L1TY]

I just wanted to chime in that I am running 10.5.7 and F7 BIOS. S3 sleep is working just fine without any extra kexts or changing my hibernate mode.

 

I also just tested wether or not my computer could be woken up via Wake-On-LAN. It turns out it works. For those who don't know know, WOL allows you to wake a sleeping computer remotely. It's a pretty cool feature. It works best when you are running a router with a WOL client. In my case it is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware.

 

In another non-related note the new ATYinjector in DDs 3.7 script did not work for me. It correctly grabbed the manufacturer and the VRAM but did to enable CI or QE. I removed it and went back to my graphics string.

Unbelievable Thanks!

 

 

Now I'm wondering, if I just use CCC to clone my macbook, and run the patches over that, would that work too?

 

 

Edit: Anyone a clue on how to get the WiFi working? At the risk at sounding like a nob, does this board actually come with wifi?

I have manual sleep/wake working ok, but automatic sleep is not working.

Could anyone that has reliable auto sleep/wake from keyboard/mouse please state their BIOS version, BIOS options selected, and loaded kexts in Extra with any other changes made. Listing any additional hardware such as BT dongle, video card etc. would help the rest of us.

 

Thanks

[lilyl]

1. Yes, I did cache update and I am sure only dsmos is loaded (since I later and one more, HDAEnabler to make sound work and I saw the change).

 

2. I use RUN-PATCH_INSTALLER in X58_Mobo_Patch_Installer

 

3. S3 sleep/wake up working, but have one weird problem. If I never go to sleep, shutdown works, if I ever sleep and wakeup it once, it will not shut down, no kernel panic though.

 

 

 

I can't really answer your question but I am curious and have the following questions.

 

1) After removing all the kexts did you update your boot cache?

 

2) What version, if any, of DD's installers script are you using?

 

3) Is Sleep(S3)/Audio/LAN/etc... working? Any kernel panics?

i wonder if auto sleep works on any hack. i have 4 hacks of different processor/motherboard combos and none of them will sleep on their own.

[airwalk776]

That worked, thanks. But what about a Time Machine fix? It still says: "The backup volume could not be found."

 

and it doesn't back up.

 

 

For that you need IONetworkingFamily.kext

[melee54]

I'm almost done installing, yet something is holding me back...

 

GUID Partition.

 

 

I've already got Windows 7 installed on a 230gb partition of my 500gb HD. I've also got an HFS formatted partition. I completed the steps in the patcher up until the actual OSX installer ran. It says I need to find a GUID partition... And the only way I can do that is if I completely format my HD. Right? Is there a tool that will let me just format one partition as GUID? I don't feel up to doing another clean install of windows...

 

 

Edit: Nevermind... Looks like the patcher already screwed up my windows partition. I can't boot from it anymore. Gah...

I followed your instructions back like ten pages or so ago on script 3.5 and everything works just perfectly except for sleep. Could you tell me what BIOS you are on, and what video card you have please. And any additional kexts, fixes, BIOS alterations, or ANYTHING that might help explain why mine doesn't wake from sleep. Thanks

 

System: DD 3.5 - 10.5.7, Gigabyte UD5 BIOS: F7, Sapphire Radeon 4870 1gb Toxic Edition, 6GB DDR3 OCZ Platinum @ 1600Mhz, i7 920 - 19X160 = 3.04Ghz

Assuming your keyboard/mouse is hardwired (usb/ps2) I suspect it's your video card that is the problem. Is there any chance you could borrow a 8 or 9 series nVidia card from a friend? That would help us rule out the card. My config is below in my sig.

[melee54]

I'm having an error during installation.

 

At about 17 minutes left, the computer locks up and asks me to restart. I restart.... And that's it. Nothing happens. Installation never continues.

 

I thought that maybe this was normal, so I went ahead and installed the combo update, then finished the rest of the mobo patch. I made it too chameleon, chose OSX, and I was presented with a nice grey screen with a mouse arrow stuck in the top left corner. I've tried installing twice now.

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

can you try with no overclock and see what happens? i think all of my sleep problems were caused by the bios not setting up proper voltages and multipliers when returning from S3 while overclocked. in fact i had to reduce my bclk to 158MHz from 166Mhz even on the F8a bios (UD4P) to make sleep work right.

[knightprozac]

I also can not wake from sleep with F7 bios even if I'm not overclocked. I am highly suspect of the 4890 being the cause of the problem. I think I will have to wait for an update from netkas.

 

I have a further barrier to sleep and I doubt there will be many people working on a solution for this at the moment.

While running hardware RAID from my GSATA2 ports my machine refuses to even enter sleep. The monitor goes to sleep but that's all I get.

[melee54]

Stupid random "You must restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds, or press the restart button" keeps interrupting my installs and everything else. I'm gonna' try updating kalyway to see if that helps...

 

Solution?

Uctually my keyboard and mouse are the Logitech MX Air, and Logitech DiNovo Edge Keyboard. I installed the drivers for the MX Air. The Keyboard has always just worked without a driver. They are keyboard works with a Bluetooth USB transmitter, and the mouse uses some type of USB transmitter although I don't think it's Bluetooth. Do you think these are causing the issue? Thanks for any input

 

UPDATE: Well I tried a hardwired USB mouse, and a PS2 keyboard and the problem with sleep was still produced exactly as it was before unfortunately.

JoeBlough: I tried your idea as well and completely reset my BIOS to factory default and just enabled AHCI settings, and once again, unfortunately the sleep problem happened exactly the same.

Thank you and FUT1L1TY for your ideas they are good ones. And I unfortunately don't have another graphics card at the moment to try. I don't know why that would cause a problem. There are several people here using 4870's, and mine is just a dual DVI out card with nothing fancy (built in HDMI etc...). It is a Toxic edition which means it was slightly overclocked at the factory, but it is proving Toxic in more ways then just that. And I don't think the extra VRAM (1GB) from the reference 4870 design would make a difference. I have read quite a few people on here with 4870's all waking from sleep, even a couple from Sapphire. Which leaves me with the thought that perhaps it is the factory overclocking of the Toxic edition that is doing the trouble. If anyone else happens to be using a Sapphire Toxic edition with sleep successfully please let me know so I can rule that out. Thanks again to everyone who suggested something I really appreciate it. I suppose an ALMOST perfect 10.5.7 i7 Hack is good, minus sleep. Which is just REALLY annoying since I never turn my computer off and like just putting it to sleep and waking it up. What a pain : /

 

Do you think their would be ANY possible benefit in redoing everything with the 3.7 script as apposed to the 3.5?... I doubt it but just checking. I don't know if there has been many advances in the "about this Mac" issues that might effect a kernel panic during wake. I manually edited my boot.plist file.

[ncsa]

Thanks again MAJ .. will give 3.7 a go!

 

The SMexternalclock should represent the BCLK or the bus speed so setting this right will then allow something like CPU-X to report correctly the multiplier for the given OC... well that is what I observed on a previous build...

 

The audio driver is still providing some challenges in particular with Plex and Digital Out... if the AV receiver does not support DTS then Plex with down-mix to AC3 and then releases the driver when finished, it appears that the release is not clean and so audio stops until either a restart or using the MIDI utility to get things working again.... what is the default audio kext used within the 3.6/3.7 script?

 

cheers

 

Those that are using Chameleon 2 and the smbios.plist may be aware that if you remove the SMmaximalclock key, Chameleon can grab the proper info from the BIOS, at least on the Gigabyte UD5 board. Other than some curious rounding, it appears to work okay for OCed boards.

I also remove the SMexternalclock key, as the bus figures appear to be total irrelevant on Core i7 systems. Not sure what apple has recorded on theirs. Does anyone know?

 

regards,

MAJ

Yes I also found myself feeling a little confused after reading the instructions. I think it's partly because things have changed but the instructions have been edited along the way and that the script is supposed to be self explanatory.

 

According to my knowledge this is what you need to do.

1. Start with any computer (Hackintosh or normal Mac) running some form of OS X. This will be running on a separate hard drive to the one you wish to install onto "Target Hard Drive"

2. Format your Target Hard Drive as HFS+ with GUID partition

3. Run Script steps (Script found in X58 Mobo Patch Installer) 2 & 3 (will be easy to understand in the script)

4. Run Script step 4 and install 10.5 from your Leopard DVD onto your Target Hard Drive

4b. Run 10.5.7 combo update (make sure destination is set to your Target Hard Drive)

knightprozac (and DD!), many thanks, it worked like a charm. Man this i7 is faster than a scalded cat. A few minor notes I took while following your guide.

 

*1 You can even jam some old kalyway install onto the i7 as long as it more or less runs enough to fix up your second Target Hard Drive

*3 Go to the first post to find the downloads. Script is called RUN-PATCH_INSTALLER, just double click on it and it will launch into Terminal. Many useful links in that first post.

*4 You need a retail leopard disk, you will need to buy or find this on your own as this forum does not discuss warez.

*4b I got the combo update here http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_..._7_Combo_Update

*6 This step is no longer relevant if you are using the new 3.7 script

 

I had some experience and a most of the hardware and software prepped and ready, it only took about 2 hours of my time to get this running, including using Migration Assistant with Time Machine. Maybe 8 hours on the wall clock. Outstanding!

 

Only glitch I've noticed is VLC 0.9.9a seems to have some berserk timings when playing back a .flac file. And typing seems a bit over-eager to repeattttt keyssss.

[J0EJITSU]

Can someone make a youtube Tutorial, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a GA-EX58-UD3R/i7 920/6gb DDR3

Hey MAJ

 

Did a quick build with 3.7.. some interesting findings when doing a build on the i7

 

Ran up using 10.5.6 retail and then 10.5.7 Combo update through to item 6 and restarted on new HDD ... run up OK - 8 cores available, CPU-x now reporting correct BCLK and CPU speed near enough - seems OS X is adding in an extra .5 multiplier hence the CPU speed not fully correct, prob a hang over from the C2D 45nm.... memory speed also correct within CPU-x ... see attached.

 

Applied ATI 4890 accel kexts and some themes etc but still no DSDT patching, restart ok. Took the opportunity to try Plex but same issue when unloading the driver after a DTS to AC3 down-mix... audio / Plex hangs.

 

But the killer is once the DSDT patcher (7) is run the HDD fails to reboot...?

Solution?

 

I was getting exactly this problem when I was running my GSATA2 ports as IDE. Took me ages to figure out. Make sure you've got AHCI set twice (once for the intel controller and once for the Gigabyte controller).

 

This may not be the cause of your problem though. I was able to reproduce this error by not supplying enough voltage from bios setting with overclock.

 

Glad I've already been able to help people. I will update my step by step instructions for graphics card kexts.

 

Note to ncsa: I may be wrong but I think the ATI 4890 accel kexts are old. All I've done to get my HIS 4890 working was run the universal installer and QE_CI_for_Exotic_Cards from netkas.org

 

I've got a feeling not being able to enter sleep is somehow related to this card or the kexts needed to use it though.

 

Out of interest are you able to exit sleep when using your 4890?

I'm running my Kalyway install through an actual IDE cable... Is that the problem? Not enough voltage? I'm completely new to the world of custom computers (Just built this thing a few weeks ago ), I'm not exactly sure how to go about setting IDE as AHCI. I think I need to update the bios? (Running EX58 UD3R)

SpeedStep, temperature, fun speed etc

 

I wonder the speedstep of i7 is actually working or not? Looks like the temperature is much higher under OSX than under Windows. So I suspect the process is on highest speed all the time...

Is there a way to tell, monitor or control?

 

Thanks.

[melee54]

knightprozac, or ANYONE,...

 

I've changed my bios settings to make SATA into ACHI. Now my computer runs this achi program whenever it boots... OK, whatever. So I format my SATA drive, try to install OSX again from my small IDE drive to the SATA, and again I am presented with an untimely ""You must restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds, or press the restart button"

 

I'm thinking about giving up on OSX. I've been trying this for one day straight, accidentally deleted my windows 7 partition (early on...), and I'm getting pretty frustrated. Seems no one else is having this problem...

Funny you should post this, I was just going to ask the same thing. In Windows 7 I idle around 34 or so, but in OS X I idle about 10 degrees higher or so. I am gonna guess speedstep isn't working. Which is a little strange, I always thought the BIOS controlled that not the OS, but I am pretty new to all of this so I guess my suspicions shouldn't be paid too much attention to
