Sorry,

 

I forgot to boot with -v -x32.

I've got another KP when it asking me for account details.

 

I'm trying, right now, with a new install and a nem dsdt compil.

 

I'll tell you on the next post what happened.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT :

 

It's the same with the new install.

KP : cpu 2 caller 0x2a6ac2 kernel trap at 0x0027a435

BSD process name corresponding to the current thread: kextcache

I've followed this guide multiple times and can't seem to get it to work for Snow Leopard.

 

I've got a radeon 4870, so I skipped the efi string, and also used PC EFI 10.5 for that.

I've installed the kexts as instructed, and I made my own DSDT through the instructions...

 

I do have a EP45-UD3R as well, but with Core2Duo E8400.

 

I've tried every imaginable boot flag I could find, but still it can't boot up. I kernel panic with:

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff80002cbf74): Kernal trap at 0xffffff7f80d56db7, type 13=general protection

 

Kernel Extentinos in backtrace looks like AppleTyMCEDriver

 

BSD process name corresponding to the current thread: kernel_task

 

I'm not sure what info is helpful up there, but I have no way to capture the screen for that.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do here?

Make sure your smbios file identifies your Mac as MacPro 3,1, not 4,1. That's what's causing the AppleTyMCEDriver problem.

Awesome, that stopped that KP.

Now I'm getting a couple of Sound Asserts from AppleHDA and then it just hangs indefinitely....

 

[update:] Removing the AppleHDA.ktext causes the asserts to go away, but it still is just hanging. Looks like I don't have any output on why it's hanging. Not sure how to debug that further...

 

Looks like it's my video card... its a non-reference ATI 4870. I tried using PC EFI 10.5 and I've tried ATY_Init and ATINDRV, nothing seems to work..

If you remove AppleHDA doesn't your sound go away? -.-

 

I don't have any ATI w/ OS X experience, so I can't help you there unfortunately.

It probably does, but I've not been able to get far enough to use sound anyway. Unfortunately, these ATI issues are besting me.

Hi, I'm new to this osx86 thing so take it easy.

 

I follow the directions (correctly, I hope). I get KP try to boot for the first time using -f -x32, any one have this problem too?

 

Said something about APCI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::Start - waitForService(res........ time out.

 

Here's my spec if it make any different: q6600 @3.6, EP45-UD3R, 4GB @800, OCZ 60GB SSD (where SL installed).

 

Thanks OP for leading me this far :)

DON'T USE INJECTORS! ONLY USE BOOT.PLIST EFI STRINGS!

 

Why did you completely ignore what I said before about searching for the EFI string...

Yeah I didn't mean to be so aggressive lol, but injector kexts just cause more problems. The idea is to really get as close to a "Vanilla" install as possible. That means the fewer the kexts you need to put in /E/E, the better (and the less breakable your install is). You should NEVER have to put kexts in /S/L/E.

i'm using asus nvidia en9400gt silent 512mb. cant find it in the efistudio. anyone use the same gc like me?

 

edited : i find out :unsure:

 

other question to d00m..

 

from the how to patch dsdt pdf file, you ask to copy the network code to the end of device (pex4/pex5). can you tell me where to put the code? how it should look like? sorry i cant get that one.

successfuly installed audio n graphic on my hackintosh. seems my ps2 keyboard not work with that.

 

ok rite now i'm using default com.apple.boot.plist for the graphic provided. it's nvdia 9800. mine is 9400 which i cant find the hardware list from the efistudio.

 

if i try to change the resolution, it show blue screen and i cant get out of it. so i logged in using efi boot loader with unmodified snow leopard installation.

 

 

If you still haven't found, here's the string:

Also try opening Dashboard and putting in a new widget. If you get the liquid ripple effect, then your graphics should be working fine. Yes, you have to put that string into the device-properties key in com.apple.Boot.plist, and make sure it's in the right place in your /E folder.

Slightly unrelated, but...

 

...I just wanted to let you guys know that I successfully installed SL on my dad's Asus P6T Deluxe v2 i7 920 system, and the ONLY issue I ran into was that because he installed Vista without AHCI on, I can't change that now in the BIOS (otherwise Vista won't boot). Because AHCI is off, SL doesn't detect any of his internal drives (2 SATA DVD, 2 SATA HD, and 1 IDE HD). When I turn AHCI on, SL detects all of the drives, although the icons are orange rather than the silver that they should be, although I KNOW that's easily fixable).

 

Everything seems to work though, GFX, sound, ethernet, sleep, all 4 cores + c states/speedstep etc.

 

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the new DSDT/kexts on my machine yet, as I have to make sure that I modify the DSDT for C2D correctly. It's 5 minutes to midnight here, so I might have a chance tomorrow or later this week.

Why not try the latest one, rc3, paired with the PCEFI 10.5 bootfiles from netkas(.org)? :angel:

Re: "the ONLY issue I ran into was that because he installed Vista without AHCI on, I can't change that now in the BIOS (otherwise Vista won't boot)."

See:

"HOWTO: enable AHCI mode after installing Windows":

http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=444831

 

Yeah I saw that, but it's my dad's system, and he was weary about me installing OS X because he feared that I would damage his computer/OS (even though I unplugged all of his drives with data on them, AND installed SL to an external USB drive so it wouldn't mess with bootloaders or anything).

 

It's doubtful that he will let me mess with the registry (the config file in that guide is for an 975X board anyway, and the P6T Deluxe v2 has a different chipset).
