[GUIDE] Scripted Yosemite/Mavericks Install on Gigabyte Mobos

[digital_dreamer]

Okay, there's more news regarding getting the audio working that I failed to reveal and simply forgot about.

I have a patched DSDT for Device (HDEF), modified by MaLd0n's DSDT Auto-Patcher. This is how and why the patched AppleHDA.kext works.

 

You can use his tool to apply all the fixes and use the script's AppleHDA.kext patcher or uninstall that and use the VoodooHDA.kext. I don't care for the VoodooHDA.kext, but it's a working alternative.

 

In the meantime, I'm looking for a way to get sound to work without resorting to external tools. I may incorporate the HDEF edits into the DSDT within the script's DSDT patcher.

 

The DSDT patch is not the only option. See the following post.

 

best regards,

MAJ

An update:

 

The script's patched AppleHDA.kext requires an enabler, either a HDAEnabler.kext or a DSDT patch with HDEF injection. If you wish to use a HDAEnabler.kext, pull one out of the Kexts_10.6/Audio/repository folder, until I get a proper upload completed. If you would like to go the DSDT route, I recommend using MaLd0n's DSDT Auto-Patcher to complete this task. Either way, this will work with the script's AppleHDA.kext patch.

 

Sorry for the hassle!

 

kind regards,

MAJ

I dunno what it is but audio always gets me. I deleted my dsdt.aml from e/e because maldons auto patcher says too. So i generated a new one with that and moved it to e/e and i still get nothing. Must be missing a step somewhere. Thanks for all your help btw, been using your stuff since i first got my ex58-ud5 few years ago now

 

I have applehda.kext in s/l/e and i have the ALC885_889a.kext inside e/e. Ive used maldons editor and put the dsdt inside /Extra and the sound icon is greyed out in the task bar

attaching the logs of latest hack installer script for dd

 

thanks again

weaanna do you have audio working? Its driving me crazy lol. Im actually worse off then when i started and i returned the audio kexts back to what they were fresh install when i was able to choose the volume icon up top but now thats greyed out.

yes, audio is working with voodoohda 2.7.2 and no other modifications.

have only fakesmc and ioahciinjector in extra.

haven't used dsdt

 

give it a try

[fallchild]

I actually took my dsdt from my old snow leopard install that worked perfect and threw it in /Extra with the lion_gm_applehda_alc889a kext and everything is great now

Digital_Dreamer - I could just kiss you.

 

Got Lion up and running on my Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 flawlessly. Ethernet, sound, everything just works!

 

In 32 bit

 

64 bit crashes hard with complaints about the power management - are you able to boot in 64 bit?

 

Ignore me, I somehow didn't install NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. I am now running Lion GM in 64 bit flawlessly - thanks again!

 

ps - I still owe you that kiss!

[digital_dreamer]

<SNIP>everything just works!

Well, it's a Macintosh, right?!

Actually, you're lucky you came in a bit late, after all the previous "beta testers" reported their problems and gave me a chance to fix up a few things.

 

ps - I still owe you that kiss!

I'll pass!

Thank you for my Mac Lion RAID!

But (!!!) my 2 RAID Boot OS X always full drive. I send you my system log.

@ digital_dreamer

 

Thank you for my Mac Lion RAID!

But (!!!) my 2 RAID Boot OS X always full drive. I send you my system log.

KeNgoaiDao,

How much space is on your RAID helper partitions? There isn't enough space for the system to update the kernelcache on them.

If you view the partitions, do you have any trash that need to be emptied? The script's Installer log will show how much is in each helper partition after each kext install or cache update.

 

Let me know.

USING THE HACKINSTALLER SCRIPT

TO INSTALL SNOW LEOPARD ON

INTEL MOTHERBOARDS:

 

My specs in signature as well:

Socket 1155:

Mobo: H67MA-USB-B3 ver 1.0 Bios F3

CPU: i7 2600k

Video: XFX 9800 GTX+

PSU: Antec 500W EA-500D

16 GB RAM: 4 x 4GB DDR3 PC3 10600 1333MHZ

also starring: iMac 24 " White 2.16 Core 2 Duo maxed with 3Gb RAM

 

First of all I would like to say MANY THANKS to master Digital_Dreamer.

I still can't believe the installation menu and the complicated tasks it performed.

I can only imaging the pleasure he got coding this stuff. What a great guy.

 

I do not have a DVD unit, just the saved image from original retail DVD with my last hackintosh.

This is the new one:

so even though my noob mind can understand a bits and pieces of OSX and put them together, this is the second day trying to install 10.6.8 on my system without success using USB method from TonyMac. FAILED!

 

Then I left Tonymac forums and found myself back to the main base, insanelymac, and while testing the great HackInstaller now I have Lion running, however still need to fix:

- Realtek ALC889 codec

- Realtek RTL8111E

- USB3

- Some cheap unknown brand little USB bluetooth so I can connect my trackpad

 

and who knows what else.

Now I'm messing with DSDT's, reading/researching a lot to catch up with the scene, wandering if [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] will run in 10.7... stuff like that as Lion is a different creature I'm not used with YET!!!

 

I will keep posting my road to success. If anybody can help me with advice on optimizing my build, I would like to thank you in advance. Cheers everybody!

 

-----10:13 AM - Jul 7 2011----

Deleted DSDT taken from TonyMac database and restarted fine. Just ran option 5) DSDT Patcher

and resulted with these logs: Run_hackinstaller.command GA logs

restarted and got this panic:

I find it weird that the DSDT have less than 1k while some others have around 17k.

this is it: DSDT generated by option5 - Georgiles

----------------------------------

 

-----11:14 AM - Jul 7 2011----

Takes hours to blog the report little advancements. Connected the SATA to my iMac and deleted the DSDT.

Before my case arrives I still have to power the board by "screwing it":

The hack booted fine. Now trying to generate another one that works somehow....

----------------------------------

 

-----5:18 PM - Jul 7 2011----

After generating the DSDT with " MaLd0n's DSDT Auto-Patcher" video is working some how.

This is the generated System Information Text file.

Anybody have any ideas on how to make the wired network adapter and sound work?

----------------------------------

 

-----8:00 PM - Jul 7 2011----

I finally discovered the kexts folder inside HACKINSTALLER. Very good and organized but it did not worked for my board.

Of course it did not work because I'm a retard. However, I got tired of trying to figure out manually so i was wandering "What if I run Tony's [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] in Lion?"

Then I look in EXTRA and i see the fu...ing extensions.mkext. I hate this file. I want the Extensions folder so i can control what's inside + Tonymac's installer uses the same folder.

I said "Fu..k it. I will run [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] anyway.

 

Good said and done. I put the DSDT.aml tested on 10.6.8 from Tony's database on the desktop. I had the finder open to monitor LIVE lol the creation of Extensions folder, then, ... don't ask why, I start RUN_HACKINSTALLER while [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] was running scripts too. Then Extensions folder gets erased.

I was 100% sure this thing is either gonna be bricked, OS wise.

Started fine WITH AUDIO! Even though RTL8111E is not working (that Lnx2Mac is garbage in 10.7), The two USB 3.0 ports are working thanks to USB 3.0 - NEC/Renesas included in the last [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]. Even the stupid little bluetooth is recognized, but of course no driver.

 

 

When I click Set Up Bluetooth Device:

I don't know what going on anymore but I'm happy.

----------------------------------

 

P.S. more boring details and thoughts, you don't have to read:

- My particular board seems to have problems with the bios. As reported on many forums I encountered and still do Cycle Resets (less now). While I was adding the RAM was a nightmare. Also could be that my PSU 500w is not powerful enough. Who knows? Now I realize what a stupid decision buying this locked cheap board. I put all the money in the CPU.

- My RAM memory timing specifications are 8-8-8-24 but recognized as 9-9-9-24. I'm missing something here and is making me wander if is just a cheap memory up-sale scam or I just need to learn more this board's BIOS. I would side with the second option.

[fruitbat04]

Only a minor thing, but I've just noticed in Lion GM, my CPU temperature sensors don't exist in imenus. I assume this isn't Lion because they are fine on my MBP which is running it.

 

Any idea how to get them back? Strangely, the HDD sensors are still there and working!

[digital_dreamer]

<SNIP>

- Realtek ALC889 codec

- Realtek RTL8111E

- USB3

- Some cheap unknown brand little USB bluetooth so I can connect my trackpad

Congrats, Georgiles!

 

Audio:

Have you tried the two files in the _Audio/_repository/ALC889 folder? Remove the existing 3 files in Audio - ALC885_889a.kext, and two xml files - leave the HDAEnabler.kext in place. Place the AppleHDA.kext and Legacy889HDA.kext in /Audio and run kext installer. Install them in /System first, just to be sure. But, you may be able to get audio working with just the AppleHDA.kext in /System and the two others, Legacy889HDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext, in /Extra.

 

Ethernet:

Puzzled that this isn't working. Lnx2Mac's Realtek RTL81xx Driver supports the RTL8111E, but it isn't tested and there are others that have the same response as yours.

I see the following reply:

@Anonymous: The current version (v0.0.67+) still doesn't support the newer hardware revisions of the 8111E as found on the GA-P67A-UD4-B3.

 

Try the AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext from the Kexts_10.6/_Networking/_repository.

 

USB3:

I have these files included in Kexts_10.6, but they aren't updated for 10.6.8 or Lion. However, you can keep an eye on this thread.

 

best of wishes,

MAJ

 

P.S.

As regards the DSDT, I see that my script created a couple errors for the Shutdown Fix. These files are normally dumped to the Desktop. Do you have them? I really just need the output of the DSDT before it's modified.

You can send them to digital (underscore) dreamer (at) mac (dot) com

about DSDT do you know DD that a DSDT database exists ?

[Georgiles]

Congrats, Georgiles!

 

Hi MAJ ! Great to hear from you.

First the bad news: I remember the dump files on the desktop. It was the first time when I booted in Lion on the actual hack. Because in the script option 5 DSDT Patcher says clear to run it only on the PCintosh, and I couldn't wait for it.

I know you know.

I'm just reiterating for whomever else might read. ....

But between my wife & kid calling me from one side and the multitude of thoughts about this new 10.7 on the other, my brain shut down to stupid and I deleted them dumped files.

(www.PCintosh.com is available for grabs by the way).

But wait no more, because I backed up Tony's DSDT for My Board, in signature, ran the patcher again and HERE YOU DOWNLOAD the dumps.

 

I did nothing but rebooting, and I have now new features on the sound like digital I/O.

I tested the mic input WORKS, output works as Internal Speakers, just plugged now the mic in the line in and WORKS.

 

 

So all the 3 audio jacks in the back work.

The digital I can't test. The front panel I will test it later when the case arrives because there are TWO more Line Out feeds reported in the output tab.

I would like to mention in the motherboard's Manual page 10 we can read:

and page 20:

...more on it when I'll connect the front panel audio.

 

I will also give you here my EXTRA folder, click on it to download.

and the latest System Information report.

 

Seems that I have a combination of your script with a bit of [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]. I'm a lot confused on loading KEXTS in 10.7.

Seemed easier in Snow. Don't know.

 

I can be a test bench. Later today this CASE arrives along with this 1.5 TB SATA 6Gb , so I can test anything starting with a fresh drive where you can follow it step by step if you need.

 

+++ this morning when I woke up my 2Gb drive reported:

...researching this now... could be the drive or the d... well when I plug it into external SAT to USB on my iMac:

so the drive got Bad Sectors, my call. I will go buy another one, back it up and reformat by marking the Bad Sectors.

I remember windows did it long time ago, some old BIOSes used to call it Low Level Format, but this is from my ancient memories LOL

Never had a drive fail on me. This could be the time I was waiting for. All my important data on it Will see what Disk Warrior can do....

 

I'm also curious about the speed of that USB 3.0, if it really works as advertised.

 

I tried AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext and would not load. I will keep trying.

 

As a side note I see these guys at Project Voltr0n want to do what you did.

If your HACKINSTALER could support couple different boards and GPU's would be awesome!

Because listen, what i did pretty much was:

- plug a blank SATA in another working Mac

- RUN your Lion/Leopard installer with the image mounted

- Move the drive on the PCintosh (www.PCintosh.com is up for GRABS)

- DONE

 

The sadness is the Boot Cycle I encounter. Sometimes it takes up to 12 self power on/off cycles to turn on.

I updated the BIOS F3 many times with source from different Gigbyte servers just in case. Either the board is damaged or the board actually requires more to be connected to the front panel headers, instead of powering it with the screw driver, or just the PSU is bad:

[digital_dreamer]

Georgiles,

Once your system is up, do you experience any random kernel panics?

I wouldn't be surprised that your system instability may be linked to the HD corruption.

 

I see you have 12GB RAM, have you tried pulling some DIMMs and running the board on minimum RAM to see if things improve? If things don't improve, exchange what you have in the mobo slots and try again. You may have a bad DIMM. Running memory tests may help zero in on it.

 

I'm more inclined to think your issues are from a single source,

Took the drive out from the hackintosh and I'm backing up the data as we speak (luckely mounted using a SATA to USB in the iMac. Would not mount directly from a SATA port in PCintosh.), then I will format it and search for bad sectors with Tech Tool Pro.

 

Thank you for the advice MAJ.

- While in the loop must be disconnected from the power cable or PSU switch due to NO response to the power button nor reset.

Thank you for the 12Gb of RAM note. I always thought I had 16GB working. I took all 4 x 4GB out and started with one chip and one slot and continued to add and test the memory chips as well with the slots.

After switching in and out I narrowed one of the 4Gb memory chips as defective:

THE CAUSE OF THE RESET LOOPS in my case.

 

POWER SAVINGS

- When I put the PCintosh to SLEEP from the apple menu it WAKES UP FROM SLEEP CORRECTLY with amendments.

Options to wake up the computer:

1) PUSH POWER BUTTON and then CLICK MOUSE BUTTON or TAP ANY KEY.

2) TAP ANY KEY (side effect: you might have to plug/unplug the USB mouse/keyboard to regain them)

3) CLICK MOUSE BUTTON and then PUSH POWER BUTTON

 

I used for the test above one of the red USB ports in the back (left side) with USB aluminium apple keyboard. Mouse connected to the keyboard's USB hub.

 

… After trying a wireless Logitech keyboard the PCintosh wakes up correctly either from the keyboard, power button and mouse.

Still with double kick. That means one click or key tap and the computer starts with the fans spinning slowly like when the computer boots, still black screen and then with another tap or click powers up even more and the screen comes to life.

When having the Logitech Keyboard/Mouse receiver connected to the USB 3 will be inactive while in sleep. So USB 3 does NOT wake up from sleep. Use power button.

That could tell a possible short in the Apple keyboard or just an incompatibility issue. I now remember it was bent in the UPS transport and I unbent it. Seemed to work so I kept it. Appearances, appearances… …

 

- Going back to the USB 3.0 ports do not recognize my USB WebCam Microsoft LifeCam HD-5001.

The webcam is recognized on any other USB 2.0 ports and works terrific with FaceTime and PhotoBooth.

However, the USB Wifi Rosewill RNX-N1-Mac works fine.

So why the USB 3 would recognize some devices and some other not?

Network seems to work too after running [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] with the original Realtek Driver included in the package, NOT Lix2Mac.

 

Oh, and the $35 case arrived. Pics below:)

 

 

Other than this everything seems to be working except the bluetooth. I need to buy one compatibile and tested with 10.7 for my trackpad and wireless keyboard. They are awesome in 10.7.

 

Cheers everybody and thank you for help. I will keep you posted.

It's been a long time since I've been around here. Had a working install, updated to 10.6.8, couldn't boot due to sleepenable.kext. So I use pmVersion=0 to bypass it. I was able to boot fine. Not knowing what I'm doing, though, I downloaded DD's updated script and ran step 3 and 4 to update the kexts and boot caches. I guess I thought they would overwrite the original files. I think I was supposed to delete the original sleepenabler first? Anyway, first time I did that nothing happened; still hangs at "System uptime in nanoseconds" because of sleepenabler. So I run the script again but this time install SleepEnabler to /System. Rebooted. Failure... PmVersoin=0 no longer works. It seems to be hanging at AppleHDADriver at line 861.

 

I'm usually OK with PC problems but this is way out of my understanding right now. I could use a quick helping hand so I can learn to fix it my self next time.

Everything just ... "works"!

 

Well, my Lion rig is up and running - and everything does just work. I can play World of Warcraft and am getting significantly better frame rates than in Snow Leopard.

 

However, occasionally the system ... "pauses"? Stutters a bit while attempting to do things like copy files, empty the trash.

 

Geekbench 64 is giving me > 14000 on my 4ghz i7-920, but my whole desktop experience seems a little slower since moving from 10.6.8 to 10.7. I am unsure how to describe it - it's very subtle. I don't get beachballs or anything like that. My OS HD is an SSD, so boots very quickly.

 

I have a feeling it has something to do with power management. I don't use Sleep, so don't have any sleep enabler kexts installed.

 

Has anyone else noticed this, or am i just bat{censored} crazy?

Change install location, very important.

 

I would go with User DSDT option where you place the dsdt.alm that you downloaded from tony's database, the one generated for your board.

 

good luck

Haha, completely overlooked that. But wouldn't I require access to my hackintosh partition to install it since it's a .pkg file? I can't boot into it to begin with.

[Georgiles]

a new issue: Can't log in to App Store.

If I try to logs in I get:

 

 

anybody have this issue? ideas?

 

Has anyone else noticed this, or am i just bat{censored} crazy?

 

Not experiencing this now but I did in the past. I know exactly what you mean by subtle lag. Could be also some issues regarding CPU compatibility maybe? Stepping and all that.

I remember these stuttering problems since 2006 when I was using OSX on AMD.

Honestly, this is what I was afraid, as I don't know how these kernels REALLY work, so I looked at apple, seen they will go with 1155 platform so I did too. Just to be more compatible I guess.
