Steven2k7 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Your guide worked just fine for my Gigabyte EP35-DS4, with 6gb of ram and a Q6600. I've had 2 kernal panics so far; one on first boot (when I forgot to disable spot light), and another when I opened up Safar for the first time. When I restarted it, safari worked again though. I'm still on a gold-master version, so I'll probably reinstall later using the retail version after I play around with this. So far the only problem I've found is I no audio. btw, how do you know if your video card is fully supported? on Leopard you could just look and see if core image is enabled or not. I didnt use a HEX string yet because EFI 10.1 didnt have my card, but I somehow have full resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 We're practically twins lol! I also don't have mic unfortunately, but as a plus DSDT audio means stock SL kexts : ) What do you mean by FUSION? Personally I'm waiting for MacFuse/NTFS-3G (NTFS-3G is the one that doesn't work) to run x64. I have booted into x64 and everything works flawlessly as well, with the exception of mic/NTFS-3G of course. LOL by Fusion I meant VMware Fusion to run Windows I do webdesign and I need to check everything in InternetExplorer... Two more thing I just realised: I don't have Bonjour, I guess nobody does without the realtek kext... but I really need access to my IDE's... do you have anyidea how... I do have Jmicron in my extra/extensions... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have Jmicron in my extra/extensions... thanks Roflmao this is too good... I actually used Fusion for a while for a bunch of different Windows related tasks, including using internet explorer to check web design i did : ) I'm no pro though... Really? Bonjour doesn't work? Earlier I set up a printer over Bonjour... Maybe that was before I removed the RealtekR1000.kext. I'll test tomorrow. Make sure you downlaod my v2 SL Pack and get the updated JMicronATA.kext though. It works in x64. If you are using that, and have my BIOS settings, IDE should work for you (I have 2 IDE DVD drives that work fine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Conclusion (so far):If using the DSDT approach and including LAN in it, there simply is no need for the Realtk1000 kext, and might be causing some people *issues* I also noticed that other guides to do with GA EP45 series are not using it Its for wireless only and getting Bonjour to work. If you don't need that then yes it works fine. Not to worry. I ran kextutility again and no KP. Still get "Error: No installer packages can be found for this disk" when I try to repair permissions in Disk Utility, though. This actually is a known issue for anyone who installs from the disk image. The easier way to go is to format a USB memory stick (8gbs or better) and install Chameleon 2 RC1 w/Netkas' 10.1 boot file, restore the disk image of SL to the stick and then add in all the extensions in Extras/Extensions. Don't forget to add your DSDT.aml file in Extras as well as fixing the UUID number in PlatformUUID.kext and in the smbios.plist files. I had this same error too, all fixed now by the above method.

d00m42 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hmm I haven't tried to use Disk Utility for that, but if I remember correctly, JFLNYC fixed that error.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 d00m42: I read through your updated how to: at step 11, if the person decides to go to the SnowLeo Desktop to deal with permission and kext cache you should add that all can be done by simply using "kext utility", nothing else, in my opinon it seems easier than going through the terminal, and especially that you already have it in your pack ! at least on my setup that's all I did, and it's perfectly stable.... ---- now trying out your updated extension pack... edit: thanks IDE drives came back, now going to try installing Adobe CS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynegretzky Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 How odd. I reinstalled SL over my old Leopard partition, used the same DSDT.aml file (literally, copied) from my first SL installation, and this time SL reports a working audio device. I don't see an option for digital line output in Sound prefpane though (my hack is hooked up via spdif to a receiver) . Wonder what I did wrong/right this time that I didn't do before. Still booting 64bit, etc. I'll have to play with this more tomorrow, but it looks like every time I boot my machine I get closer, so maybe I'll just keep rebooting until it works like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00m42 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 @Eliade, point taken, I made that small change in my guide. @Martytoof, idk exactly what you did differently, but it's possible kexts had a part. If you used my v2 SL Pack, then I updated the kexts a little better solving a few problems people were having. One of them had to do with no audio device. I happen to just have 3 outputs + headphones. They're all labeled "Line Out" though. If you are looking for Digital, you might want to try the attached LegacyHDA.kext. Not sure if it will work so back up your old LegacyHDA, but give it a shot, and let me know. Goodnight guys, I'm tired as hell lol, going to sleep.

Oletros Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I have a GA-EP45-DS4 (esentially the same chipset, audio and net drivers), I have configured the BIOS as you say, I have IDE disabled and I'm trying your guide but no luck. After installing and patching it in an external USB drive, when I boot it with -v -x32 I have a KP before entering the GUI with no indication of the error. I have tried to use your DSDT and I have tried to compile my own. Any advise to track it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelf Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think little snitch "killed" my system after the first required reboot I received a bunch of KP from different program each time I was able to uninstall it, but it would still panic, so I ran kext utility again, all is back to normal you've been warned! need to sleep now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I really wish the EFI strings tool included ATI cards as well as nvidia. Can't even get to -v -x32 flag.

Oletros Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well, no luck, the same panic without any indication after 38 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinist Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 How odd. I reinstalled SL over my old Leopard partition, used the same DSDT.aml file (literally, copied) from my first SL installation, and this time SL reports a working audio device. I don't see an option for digital line output in Sound prefpane though (my hack is hooked up via spdif to a receiver) . Wonder what I did wrong/right this time that I didn't do before. Still booting 64bit, etc. I'll have to play with this more tomorrow, but it looks like every time I boot my machine I get closer, so maybe I'll just keep rebooting until it works like a charm Martytoof: If you still have a vanilla audio kext setup would you please try the following DSDT mod for 889a? Simply change your layout-id to "0x42 0x00 0x00 0x00" and if your codec-id is not "0x85, 0x08, 0xEC, 0x10" could you change it to that at some point? This layout-id is found in AppleHDA for the 889a chipset in Leopard 10.5 and in Snow. It shows 2 outs, 2 ins, and digital in and out. The lights are on for the digital ports but I haven't anything to plug in. Sound natively comes out through the rear green jack in all Leopard iterations. If you have added any audio kexts please remove them, and wipe the caches. Hope to hear how this works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnekton1 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Using the clue of the graphics driver, I removed the EFI string for the 4870 that I found at OSX86 and now it goes past the DMI Pool data problem to the Chameleon boot screen. Then, when I boot with the -v -x32 flags it proceeds thru most of the boot sequence but dies (NOT A KP though) either at: IOBluetoothHCIContoller:: terminatedWL..done or at the following screen. Any ideas--thanks for previous advice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberbobcity Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just to give anyone an update who was possibly following my previous posts. I now am 100% working! The biggest issue I faced with random KP's was that I had a seperate hard drive with Windows 7 plugged in. After I read some newer posts in this thread I unplugged it and things started to happen! Everything is working, but since I'm using an external sound card I can't vouch for onboard sound. I did get a KP while doing the remote desktop software update but using the kextutility to recreate the cache quickly fixed that. Solid as a rock!! Thanks!

monjiller Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 i just wanted to say thank you for this guide. I have the same motherboard so I followed your guide and everything worked on the first try! The only thing I had a problem with was compiling the DSDT. I put one of the code fixes in the wrong section and generated 69 errors, so the .aml file was not created. Other than that, it was smooth sailing.

JFLNYC Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've got an odd little error. Every time I open iTunes, I get the SLA to agree/disagree, as if a new version of iTunes has been installed each time I open it. Anybody have anything similar with any other app?

MatthieuD Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 First of all, thanks for this guide I have exactly the same motherboard so the installation was quite fast - and it's working 100%. The MBR "hack" also worked ! I was a little worried about this. PS : You should write "restart" after the kextcache more like that - i missed it and get a KP then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
