rockstarjoe Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Could I get some help? My system is running GREAT so thanks again to everyone. I have been running 32bit since day one and I am trying to get 64 bit up and running but seem to be having a problem. Currently my com.apple.boot.plist is set with the flag arch=i386 (using Chameleon 2 RC3). This works great. But if I remove the flag, the system never boots... it just hangs with the apple logo. Any idea what the problem might be? Here are the kexts I am using in Extra/Extensions: fakesmc.kext (10.5.6) IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector JMicronATA NullCPUPowerManagement OpenHaltRestart PlatformUUID Thanks for any information! ___________________________________ EDIT: Nevermind! I figured it out. Turns out my mkext was built for i386 instead of x86_64. Sorry! It is working now with the 64 bit kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactheworld77 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 You just need to change the flag arch=i386. Its in this topic somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarjoe Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks guys, I had the flag right but I used mkext tool to make my extensions.mkext, and it slimmed it for 32 bit only. I remade it for 64 bit and everything worked again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00m42 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks guys, I had the flag right but I used mkext tool to make my extensions.mkext, and it slimmed it for 32 bit only. I remade it for 64 bit and everything worked again! Yep, remember that with SL x64 you need 64-bit extensions, and a 64-bit mkext : ) Good job!

JFLNYC Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 BTW, with Chameleon RC3 you need either an mkext file or an Extensions folder. You don't need both. Per the folks at Chameleon: mkext provides faster booting and is the Apple-approved method for MacOS 10.6. Chameleon-wise you can have a number of kexts in /Extra/Extensions or a single mkext in /Extra . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liupingguo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have be suffering from the CMOS reset from the every first day that I have SL on my GA-EP45-UD3RL, I modified DSDT.dsl by TextMate to : Device (RTC) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00")) Name (ATT0, ResourceTemplate () { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range Minimum 0x0070, // Range Maximum 0x00, // Alignment 0x02, // Length but CMOS still keeps resetting, anyone could give a solution, thanks!

JFLNYC Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Eliade is correct. Both "length" entries should be changed to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liupingguo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Eliade is correct. Both "length" entries should be changed to 2. Thank you so much for the quick reply, I did exactly you told me to, like this: Device (RTC) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00")) Name (ATT0, ResourceTemplate () { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range Minimum 0x0070, // Range Maximum 0x00, // Alignment 0x02, // Length ) }) Name (ATT1, ResourceTemplate () { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range Minimum 0x0070, // Range Maximum 0x00, // Alignment 0x02, // Length the output is the same: CMOS check error, then reset CMOS... is there any thing I should check beside this? I'm really bored by this issue. I appreciate all helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Then that most likely means that your dsdt.aml is not loaded during boot you compiled it didn't you? It is in your extra folder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_leb Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Good day! Anybody have front mic working in Snow on ep45-ud3r??? Please help - all work fine, but front mic! I need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maattdd Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes we have. See the first post, there was too many kext in the previous pack but now, the pack had been slimmed down and front mic works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 front mic doesn't work either... (only mic port on the back works, back line-in doesn't) I myself only use the back port for mic anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_leb Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yes we have.

oSxFr33k Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I ran the application DSDTSE and it had a dropdown with three fixes I applied. DTGP, HPET and RTC. Everything seemed to go into place on my Board. I am unsure how to get either my 7300GT 256mb or 9800GT 512mb Nvidia Graphics cards into the DSDT using DSDTSE? I saw one hack in there for Nvidia Desktop if that is the one? Right now I used EFIStudio to create the string for my 7300GT and al the tests work fine as mentioned above except Chess. I get a Kernel Panic backtracing to GeoFroce(6.0.2) and dependancies NVDaresman (6.0.2), IONDRVSupport (2.0), IOPCIFamily (2.0) and IOGraphicsFamily (2.0). If I can incorporate the graphics into the DSDT and remove the EFI string from the plist I would like to try that. I already tried removing the EFI string and adding GraphicsEnabler=Yes into the string under the kernel flags in plist and I got no acceleration? I used Chameleon RC2 installer and just replaced the RC2 boot with RC3 boot from RC3 since RC3 is not an installer. Another thing I am trying to do and cannot succeed is to mount the EFI partition. tried several way using mount command and diskutil mount. I am guessing I cannot mount it while I am booted into that Drive? Not sure how to add the Lan nor Wireless BCM4329 Linksys card I have into the DSDT? I just added the ID for the wireless to the BCM4311 plist within the IO80211Family.kext Thanks for trying to answer my questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 when you installed chameleon, did you use the EFI HFS options ? then it will initialize your efi partition, only then you'll be able to mount it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjgolf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks for the guide, my install was one of the easiest yet. Only other tool I used was the x58 Mobo Patch installer to automate some of the tasks in your guide by using your files to install. I am using the ep45 ud3r and a nvdia 9500 1 gig- core quad 8200. Everything worked on the first boot-amazing job to all who added and the community!!!!!!! Thanks again Snow leopard is fast and my $169 retail box set is a bargain with the new applications.

d00m42 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Anyone using Chameleon RC3 vs RC2? Is it worth an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelf Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I don't know how to install it... so for now I'm using RC2 with RC3 boot file, and no difference of course... all the chameleon things are still RC2 on my system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarjoe Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Oh it's not really that hard, there's a guide somewhere I'm using RC3, works nice. You can create mkexts for both 10.5 and 10.6 if you want to use your Chameleon partition to boot both. The only problem I have is that if I don't hit a key on the boot screen RC3 will ignore my boot.plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
