Recommended Posts

Hi, i've been thinking of getting the ASUS P5KPL-AM motherboard. But there's different kinds in the market right now (that i have access), as of the moment i have 2 choices:

 

- ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU

- ASUS P5KPL-AM SE

 

I can't seem to find the one that you have which is ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS, can you explain me the differences? Are they all the same thing? Would your guide work on these motherboards aswell? And lastly, how's does everything work with this motherboard? As in everything? I hope you'll able to help me.

Well....

 

I had to re-install 3 times...but that was my own fault I think.

 

So far so good. I was going to use my Ralink RT2500 USB for wireless to begin with, but it managed to cause a panic when inserted into the rear USB ports, so I plugged in my D-Link DWA-547 A/B/G/N card....Worked out of the box as Airport card, awesome. I also connected the lan to my ethernet cable, got an I.P instantly and was off and running it too worked out of the box.

 

Only problem so far is shutdown. Fans keep going until I press the power button. Sleep doesnt resume!!.....

 

I am on Vanilla kernel, I selected no kernel from the boxes and I only selected NVinject for the 9500GT (The 512mb kext on it's own left me with 1280x800 res and nothing else but blue screens ( I re-installed and just checked NVinject, by default it selects all memory sizes) along with Networking (RT2500 USB) and iDeneb apps.

 

Everything is working quite well other than those few hickups...

 

My setup is nearly identical to the first post. I'm using an 80GB Samsung as well for now (IDE) as I will shovel a 500GB drive in here soon (sata) and go from there using a time machine backup of this setup next time around

 

I had trouble with the resolution initially. My LCD is only 17" (Viewsonic/Black) and it's max res is 1440x900 If I selected the full resolution the screen would go blue and stay there!! I had to reset the machine and it would go 1280x800 on reboot. After about 4 goes of selecting 1440x900 it stuck. I rebooted and it displayed properly!!! Bizarre.

 

As I mentioned I'm running a 9500GT 512mb card. With the NVdarwin kexts I got the boot screen and then the display went to "no signal".......blank. The hard drive continued to whirl and then nothing......so I tried -x and still nothing. Tried booting 800x600 and nothing happened either (re-install)

 

Anyway, it works well for now. I would like sleep to work, and proper shutdown. If anyone can explain my USB issue with the Ralink Wireless dongle I'd appreciate it, I'm hoping this doesn't happen to other devices I need to use in the future (kernel panic, must check the logs)

 

I'm using a logitech wireless keyboard and G5 mouse and both work on USB fine......no issues with those devices.

 

EDIT:...Full Shutdown now works. No fans...

 

*Have OC'ed my E5200 to 3.01Ghz, stable and fast.....V-Happy with this Hack rig.

WARNING: I've found a driver for realtek 8111 for 64 bits!! go to the bottom of this post for more info

 

Hello. This is japogiii, and this is my first post here.

 

This is my guide into getting a PERFECT HACKINTOSH working on an ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard. (G31+ICH7 chipset)

 

PERFECT HACKINTOSH means that everything works, including USB, sound, video with QE/CI enabled, sleep, restart, and shutdown.

 

I have spent almost three days without sleep trying to get this thing to work, and the final result is that it works just as Steve Jobs would have intended.

 

Here are the important parts which I used for this computer:

Processor: Pentium Dual Core e5200 (2 cores @ 2.5 ghz each)

Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS

Hard Drive: 80 GB Samsung (IDE)

500 GB Seagate (SATA)

DVD Drive: LG Internal Super Multi DVD Rewriter 22x (SATA)

RAM: 2 GB Kingston Value Ram 800mhz DDR2

Graphics Card: Sparkle 9600GT 512mb PCI-E

 

Install method is through iDeneb v1.4 (10.5.6)

 

 

BIOS Settings

Here are the BIOS settings I used for the P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard. BIOS settings are important to get full sleep, shutdown and restart working.

 

Primary IDE Master: 80 GB Samsung

SATA: 500 GB Seagate

SATA2: LG DVD

 

ATA/IDE Config: Enhanced

Enhanced Mode Support On: S-ATA

 

Onboard PCIE GbE LAN: Disabled

(I disabled the onboard LAN because I use a Netgear Wireless USB anyway.)

 

Plug and Play O/S: Yes

 

 

Suspend Mode: S3 Only

ACPI 2.0 Support: Enabled

Restore on AC Power Loss: Power Off

 

Boot Device Priority

1st: HDD Samsung

2nd: DVD LG

 

Partitioning the Drive and Dualbooting with XP

Refer to this guide

 

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...DualBoot_10.5.2

BUT INSTEAD of Kalyway 10.5.2,

substitute it with iDeneb v1.4.

 

You know where to find it. :(

Customize the installation, and check these boxes for this particular setup:

 

ICHX support (because this P5KPL-AM/PS is a G31/ICH7 chipset)

nvDarwin 512 mb (for the 9600GT videocard)

 

I didn't check anything for sound, because this is going to be patched later on.

 

Install. Then it will reboot. Follow the rest of the instructions on

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...DualBoot_10.5.2

for bootloading.

 

If you did everything correctly, boot into the OS X partition and you should see the welcome video. (Nice, eh. QE/CI enabled already) but no sound.

 

Get the sound drivers here, and install:

http://www.kexts.com/index.php?controller=...ext=5&kid=7

 

Last, go to system preferences -> energy saver.

Under options, check "Allow power button to sleep the computer."

Also check "Restart automatically after a power failure."

 

And there you go. A fully working, 10.5.6 OS X Leopard on your HACKINTOSH.

 

Enjoy. :)

 

Please comment if you encounter any problems, or if this guide has helped you in any way.

 

japogiii.

 

Now you can! 8111 http://www.kexts.com/view/133-realtek_r100...4_bit!.html

And for the nvidia users that want to use everything in 64 bits look for nvenabler 64 on kexts.com

Azalia audio works ok on 64bits, just remove the "i386" or something like that in com.apple.boot.plist and be happy!

Hello All!

 

This is right my board (P5KPL-AM), but I'd like to know if the processor (E1500 - the first Celeron Dual Core) can deal with OS X since that it seems it doesn't have virtualization resources. Please help me. My board has 4 GB DDR-2 800 Mhz and a Samsung 250 GB 7200 rpm HD.

I cant say it is impossible, but use it for 2 years and never heard a way to use onboard. Get a cheap 9400GT/9500GT/9600GT, you'll pay minimal cash and get an amazing machine.
