verdant Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 hello guys as to my previus post about my pc freezing on start up. i get a stop entry sign at the apple loading screen i have typed -v debug=0x100 and all get is "checksum Cookie not valid" and also "still waiting for root device" any ideas or is there some thing vital that i have missed out Start by re-checking your BIOS settings and that you have made the correct kernel choice and have chosen the AppleNforceATA kext in the iPC distro Customise menu as per my iPC blog install guide......also see post #1...... Then try booting with -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyrisPC Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 XFX MG-63MI-7159 no ethernet or sound in 10.5.2 kalyway and vanilla kernel doesn't work even though I have q6600 of a nforce north and south board and I cant boot without cpus=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 XFX MG-63MI-7159 no ethernet or sound in 10.5.2 kalyway and vanilla kernel doesn't work even though I have q6600 of a nforce north and south board and I cant boot without cpus=1 With 630i nForce chipset, AFAIK you cannot use the vanilla kernel........recommend Voodoo 9.5.0 with matching 9.5.0 version System.kext and seatbelt.kext..... If you cannot boot without using cpus=1, you need to used a patched DSDT.aml file........so install Chameleon 2.0 RC3 or RC4, which will generate /Extra directory......then run fassl's DSDT Patcher (should not need to choose Force compile and New HPET options) to produce a patched dsdt.aml file......rename it to DSDT.aml and place this file in /Extra....... For sound have you tried latest VoodooHDA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 where do I download the voodoo 9.5 kernel and the kexts? For Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 and system kext download Voodoo installer and open unzipped folder here.......for seatbelt kext see here.....for VoodooHDA see here....

CyrisPC Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 will iAtkos v7 work? also I tried the voodoohda and it made my ports show up in the system pref. but no sound just air from the iMix and Mic channels. when I turn them up they give air through my speakers. also how come the kalyway install will boot with all for cores?

It is worth trying iATKOS v7........if VoodooHDA does not work, then you will have to try specific kexts...... If your audio chipset is definitely ALC888, then try the kexts here....... Not sure what you mean by also how come the kalyway install will boot with all for cores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna21 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 NVIDIA MCP73 630i Intel Pentium dual E2200. 2 Cores. 2.4GHz DVD-RW - SATA HDD - SATA Hard Drive - Currently as NTFS with a Windows Intall Installed OSes - Vista Premium 64 Bit - Plan to triple boot Vista, OS X, and Ubuntu via Chameleon Graphics - NVIDIA G 100 512MB Ok..so I boot into iDeneb 1.6 Installer with -F. CPUS=1 or MAXMEM wasnt' needed..even with those flags System Profiler returned the same results. NVEthernet found a address..so does this mean LAN is OOB and no driver is needed? woo hoo. Found my SATA DVD-RW. Unable to mount? I'll check out the device later. We're in. Even detected my model number. Except I'm not running Core 2 Duo. And I have two cores, not 1. My DVD-RW in System profiler. What the.. Disk1s2 is the iDeneb DVD and the DVD-RW. Check out the photos above..it says unable to mount 1s2. USB Drive Shows up. ..So it looks like almost everything is working as far as simply going into the installer. Except, it found my DVD-RW, but it couldn't mount, so it didn't show up in Disk Utility.. Next to that, it was exceptionally slow, even on 4GB of RAM..MAXMEM=2048 didn't help. WHY?

Step back.......give some basic information first 1. Your target OS X HDD: HDD Size, Partition scheme: GPT or MBR, Target OS X volume(s): size (should format as HFS+ using iDeneb Disk Utility)? 2. You should boot install DVD with -v -f cpus=1 maxmem=2048 to prevent any potential issues...... 3. Did you confirm that iDeneb v1.6 10.5.8 Lite Edition has MeDevil's AppleNForceATA_Test kext in /S/L/E?......since when you boot with -f, the kexts in /S/L/E will be loaded into the kernel.......

Um..well my targest OS X HDD is the one I'm using right now. I'm pretty sure it's MBR, one volume, and it's right now 596.17 GB. When I install OS X, I plan to make a 350GB Partition as HFS+ For OS X, a 200GB Partition for Windows, and a 46.17GB Partition for Ubuntu. OS X will be HFS+, and then Windows and Ubuntu will be temporaily MS-DOS FAT (Later formmated in their own installations) 2. Sure. I'll try that and report back. 3. System/Library exsists..but then there's no Extensions folder in /System/Library. I even viewed hidden files and folders (TransMac) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have a hidden recovery partition on it or is it a OEM HDD that you have partitioned/formatted yourself and then installed Windows onto? 2. OK 3. Is there an Extensions.mkext file?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, My Computer only shows C:. That's what Disk Utility also did. 2. Um..that didnt' help. The only thing that happened was USB Stopped Working (Not USB Keyboard and Mouse, but front tower USB ports, as in, my flash drive didn't get detected) :/ - It still said unable to mount disk 0s1. 3.

So, when you boot with -f and there is no Extensions folder that you can see, where are the kexts on iDeneb that are being loaded/used to recreate Extensions.mkext?........what happens when you boot with -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048 or -v -x cpus=1 maxmem=2048........ 3. Yes, there is. Find, download mkextMaker and use it to unpack the Extensions.mkext file to see what kexts iDeneb is using...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krishna21 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I got it extracted and everything.. There was one nForce ATA Kext, it wasn't labeled as Slashshack's or not. So..what next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is not MeDevil's AppleNForceATA_TEST kext, that may explain your SATA DVDRW issue...... but try booting with -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048, so that it boots from the iDeneb Extensions.mkext.......

Krishna21 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 As mentioned before, -v cpus=1 maxmem=2048 didn't do anything. I can even boot into the installer without cpus=1 or maxmem.
