jantunes Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I can't even get to the installation, that's the real problem. Also, demerdland, it's in AHCI. Also, has anyone tried Mac Os X for PC 10.6.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Pirate Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm up and running, but still not able to get sound after installing the AppleHDA.kext from Tonymac's CD. System Profiler shows the following: Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x1458A002 Audio ID: 887 Available Devices: Sound Control Panel reads "No output devices found" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymacx86 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hey everyone- Don't mean to spread blogspam, but I just put up a new support forum for my guides and other related info. I'm really hoping that we can get some good discussions going there- take a minute to register and say hello! http://www.tonymacx86.com I'm up and running, but still not able to get sound after installing the AppleHDA.kext from Tonymac's CD. System Profiler shows the following: Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x1458A002 Audio ID: 887 Available Devices: Sound Control Panel reads "No output devices found" You'll need to put the 10.6.1 AppleHDA.kext in S/L/E and rebuild caches. Make sure you've updated to 10.6.2. Also, you will need the DSDT from the CD as well. Then you'll have sound on the UD2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Pirate Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I thought I had done that, but maybe I missed a step. I'll go through it again. Is there an easy way to tell if the AppleHDA.kext in my System/Library/Extensions is the correct one from 10.6.1? Get info shows the one I have as version 1.7.4a1 *edit* Went through the steps again - now it works, so I must have missed something the first time. Thanks!

Volklx86 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 So to anyone interested (for compatable hardwares' sake) I have the following system up and running dual booting OS X 10.6.2 and Windows 7: Intel i5 750 Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L 4 GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM 2x WD Caviar Black 750 GB HD (intel SATA ports, not the gigabyte ones) eVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card LG DVD burner Model GH24NS50 (intel SATA) To do this I followed Tonymacx86's retail DVD method on his blog using the standard install CD that he made. Thank you very much TonyMac. you made this terribly easy for a first timer with little experience. I also used his DSDT file for the p55-UD3L and the kexts for the ALC888 sound controller from the following thread to get sound to work: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=199852 I placed both kexts in both system/library/extensions and extra/extensions. I placed the DSDT file in the root / using terminal. As of right now, sound works out of the first of the 3 Line outs, but not the digital out. I am getting occasional feedback but it is not terrible. Any ideas for a fix? I know this is vague, but I do not know what the relevant info is for fixing this. Everything else works like gangbusters except for sleep. With sleep, OS X comes back, but then crashes b/c of Kernel panic. I have not tried time machine yet, but will soon. Windows 7 still loads from the boot loader and seems to not have any issues. Everybody who has worked to figure this out especially TonyMac, thank you guys. You saved my wallet from having to shell out for a Mac Pro. oops, sleep is what I need a fix for. I should proofread my posts better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aargh-a-Knot Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Attention MSI owners: I have started a thread specific to MSI mobos, HERE. I think it will be easier for us to gather and access information specific to MSI boards if we keep a separate thread running. I have posted a mostly-working DSDT for my p55m-gd45 board over there. ~Aargh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleorderbride Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I was doing some benchmarking on my dual-booting system and noticed that I am scoring ~45% lower on cinebench 32-bit under Snow Leopard than I am under Win 7 running the same 32-bit cinebench test. (8,300 in OS X and 16,000 in Win7 32/23,000 in 64-bit win7. I am using a vanilla install with TonyMac's DSDT.aml and fakesmc, OSXRestart, and sound kexts. That's it =/ SL is running in 32-bit compatibility mode. I guess I might try switching over to 64-bit SL and running with no DSDT just to see what happens. What could be destroying my performance? Edit: Running the test in a 64-bit SL gives me a score of 12,126. So, that is a nice boost, but still not quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4Mode Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 First off, thanks to everyone in this thread for all the great information. This thread (along with Tony's site) were the instruction manuals for building my computer. I've built pretty much the same system that Tony has. I followed all of the instructions on his site and everything is working great. My current problem is with trying to overclock it. My standard geekbench (64-bit) score is 7188. But when I overclock it, my score actually drops below 5000. There must be something I'm doing wrong, because I see some geekbench numbers over 10,000 for similar setups. I'm new to overclocking, so there's a very good chance I'm doing something wrong. My setup is: gigabyte p55-ud2 i5 750 nvidia 9500 4GB OCZ DDR3 - 1600 RAM Any ideas on why my geekbench score would drop? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A4Mode Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 What Kext Files do you have in your /E/E folder? What's in there currently, is: EvOreboot.kext fakesmc.kext JMicronATA.kext LegacyHDA_ALC888B.kext PlatformUUID.kext I've also had the occasional lock up shortly after rebooting. I sometimes have to reboot 4 or five times before It'll run more than 5 minutes without freezing. Once I'm past that 5 minutes, everything seems really stable.

Mike Not an overclocker, so I can't help you there. Are you using the DSDT from tonymacx86-snowleopard.zip or from the DSDT-FIXES.zip? Since you don't have NullCPUPowerManagement I assume it's the updated one in the DSDT-FIXES.zip. If not, that may be the issue. Also, have you updated the bios?

If you know what you're doing, I'd go ahead and update the bios. It's an important bios update- there were massive USB issues with bios version F3.

The computer feels more stable, though I have nothing to go by but my gut, but my overclock geekbench scores are still lower than my "stock" setup. Did you test the overclock at all? Booting into the OS is not a test. You need to use stress testing programs. OS X stress testing programs pretty much all suck. Install windows and use OCCT. If your overclock is not stable that would most certainly lower any benchmarking scores--if not just crash your computer altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
