derpuma Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Strange thing, neither with my P35-DS3 and also with my P45-DS3 i cant get sound working with patched dsdt.aml I am pretty sure that i have don the the right settings in ACPI Patcher. Could it be that it is not possible to patch under a Virtual XP? When i patch i get no Errors in the Report... Strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitee Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 So I've gotten it to work for my EP35-DS3L v2 using Bios Version F6 in 32/64-bit mode. Everything works, sound audio graphics easily, thanks to this thread, h4ck1nt05h and blackfox's thread for the GA-EP45 thread. My setup is like this: I have a single hard drive partition into Leopard, Snow Leopard, using the EFI partition for Chameleon RC1. I had Chameleon RC1 installed beforehand, all I did was change the EFI/boot file to netkas' EFI/boot PC EFI 10.1 file. I can't switch easily between leopard and SL because the EFI partition is obviously only just for either Leopard or SL, but I can boot into single user mode to switch out the extensions. My DSDT.aml is patched with Graphics, Audio, and Ethernet. It was made using Koalala's ACPI Patcher for Windows. I use a GTX260 @ PCI0 with PEGP checked. For Audio my MB uses ALC888, so I chose ALC888-2. For my Network, I chose GIGE and PEX @ Location 4. Then I saved it as dsdt.dsl, changed the CMOS Fix (0x04 to 0x02 under RTC section), and recompiled it to dsdt.dsl, then placing it in /Extra. In /Extra I have my dsdt.aml, my SMBIOS.plist, /Themes, /Extensions folders and Extensions.mkext. In /Extra/Extensions I have IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext PlatformUUID.kext LegacyHDA.kext RealtekR1000.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext SleepEnabler.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext fakesmc.kext The RealtekR1000.kext doesn't get loaded I'm fairly sure, so I could do without it. I have a script in the EFI volume to create an extenions.mkext of the /Extra/Extensions and place it in /Extra. If anyone wants any of the files or has questions, please ask.

derpuma Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Sorry for my stupid rapidshare upload! Haven't realized that the file could only be 10x downloaded. As I was out of Office, i was not able to reupload before tomorrow! I will make a new Package and put all my Files to mediafire... @elitee I would like to have your mkext script for E/E pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximekon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ok guys, the idea of a USB chameleon boot stick was a good one. Kudos to nameless2k. Here we go: I prepped a USB chameleon boot stick for Gigabyte GA 35 DS3 - including natit kext for nvidia cards (not sure if the newest cards are being detected) - dual heading works :-) - ethernet works - wlan does not work - dsdt.aml overrides come after trying to add my wlan, so there is something fishy. I expect the dsdt.aml is not properly configured yet - sound does not work although its being correctly reported, I expect an issue with the versions, snow leo ignores something from the preboot usb imho - drives are coloured meaning Snow Leo sees them as external. => if system does not get booted please try to change the UUID in smbios.plist and plattformuuid.kext to your SnowLeo uuid see in disk utility) this is an early alpha status. further improvements appreciated... get here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T5YFDGSZ x! p.s. I would appreciate some testers to check with an EP45 board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxer82003 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 hey guys i have been away from the scene for a bit now since my hackintosh has been perfect, i used the boot 132 method and used a boot disk created by elastic. will this method still work is there a new boot disk i will need? mobo is a GA-P35DS3R CPU Q6600 quad core video 8800GTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00m42 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am running this one: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R Northbridge Intel P45 Southbridge Intel ICH10R (Raid) Audio ALC889a LAN Realtec 8111C Firewire IEEE 1394 Controller Hopefully (I'm installing as I speak) I can get it to boot tonight. For some reason the install (dmg through Leopard to a spare internal SATA hd) is extremely slow though... Otherwise, my early attempt was hindered by a message stating (at the very end of the install) that the install had failed and it was unable to write some files to /Volumes/Snow (name of my drive) etc. If it happens again I'll post a message, but someone suggested I deselect some of the customizations. I'll update with success/failure UPDATE #1: Install SUCCEEDED this time Some guy's hint to install less extras was right, I just deselected the print drivers (even though I need a few of them which I can install later) and it worked. I am going to make sure I have the proper kexts and a working bootloader and will attempt to boot. I'll update again tomorrow morning as it's past midnight here and I have school tomorrow lol :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to install it from an USB or external HDD, like this Guide. Worked for me till now, previously had same problem as you. Now i can't install Chameleon on Snow partition, gonna boot from external Harddrive and refer to Snow Partition for copying user files. Keep you informed...

LoBlanc Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey guys, I understand everybody wants to know how to install on its own mobo. But this is a P35-DS3 thread. Wouldn't it be better when we keep focusing on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read teh Readme in ZIP File for more Infos... Reports are welcome! great!!! I am gonna give it a try tonight. will try to deal with the audio issue. i got some ideas what the issue's reason might be. would you mind removing your graphics string from the dsdt.aml to make it more generic. i suppose there is a natit.kext that can be used in a preboot environment that is universal usable. kudos, x!

ximekon Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Still got the same kernel panic on my GA-EP35-DS3L with this kit, although the video was in the right resolution. what does your kernel panic say exactly? did you change uuid in smbios.plist and platformuuid.kext? did you boot with -x32 to 32bit mode? did you try to run into single user mode to create mkext for snow leo first?

derpuma Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah, ximekon is right! See the Textfile in my files and do that 3 Lines in Singel User Mode Terminal... Means Bott up SL with -x32 -s and you can do these 3 steps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabla Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Also no sound here on EP35-DS4 just like derpuma said, tried various LegacyHDA. When I use ALCInject.kext, I can select the outputs in Preferences, but still no sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se_dony Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 hi! installed snow leopard just fine. installed chameleon 2.0rc1, netkas pcefi 10.1 and the DSDT.aml and kernel extensions from from derpuma. i have set the kernel flag for 32bit in my com.apple.Boot.plist when trying to boot i get a kernel panics like zhta1972: "Mac osx version: not yet set" at the top of the kernel panic it says that the it's using the 64bit kernel. even if i specify the -x32 flag at the chameleon boot prompt it loads the 64bit kernel and panics right after loading the extensions (no matter if in single user mode or whatever...) any ideas? my board is a ga-p35-ds3 rev. 1.0 thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
