Mangopeach, yes, as written here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185097-guide-scripted-retail-lionmountain-lion-install-on-gigabyte-mobos/page__st__4080#entry1873812

I bought an PCI-E SATA 3 6G controller that is working out of the box with our main board and hackintosh. Just make sure it is the same chipset. You can select it in BIOS as first boot device. The only "downside" is that my SSD is showing as an external drive on my desktop with an orange icon. But frankly I don't care about that since everything is working.

 

Good luck :)

I bought a similar card with the same controller and it worked perfectly! I even test the throughput between the drive plugged into the mb sata2 and the card sata3 and it was nearly twice as fast.

 

Is it safe to update working install to 10.8.4?

Calling all guinea pigs!

Hello,

I'm a new to Mac OSX. I bought my hackintosh ready to use from another guy. Until today there was no problems at all. The system was perfectly updated with all updates. Today there was update of iTunes and after it my sound stop working. I called the guy wich I bought my hackintosh. He sent me the link for the script, because he was installed the Mountain Lion with it. He told me to run the script and reinstall the audio kexts. All done, but the the sound is not working still.

 

Any ideas?

Hi,

 

I have updated my system to 10.8.4 using the combo updater. I got an error message at the end of the install. but rebuilding caches using

the script and the install is happy. My system uses dsdt patching and native hda for 2.0 audio all works with 10.8.4.

I had to reapply my patch for non apple trim support using Chameleon SSD Optimizer.

also had to re-edit AppleGPUPowerManagement to re-enable best GPU performance.

Geekbench and Cinebench score, no real differecne from 10.8.3

Thanks

Jon

Hello folks,
I have a problem with my system.. first of all i have the following specifications :

Motherboard: GA-EX58-UD5
Video : XFX 512mb
Intel i7-920
10GB memory ram corsair 1600Mhz  ( 3 x 2GB  and 1 x 4GB)
2 x Seagate 2TB and 1 x Western Digital 650 GB @ 7200 rpm
OSX 10.8.4 ( Mountain Lion )

Everything was working fine under BIOS F12 but one day my system recognized only 4GB of ram, it didn't recognized all my ram under F12 bios ( Yes i did try to change the slots and to leave only the 6gb ram but bios recognize only 4GB.) When i am trying to update my BIOS to F13 it recognizes all the ram.. but now the computer stuck at the following point that i am showing in the picture...  ( Yes i changed the default bios settings after updating to F13, and use AHCI etc..)  

 

 Sorry for the bad quality of photos...

Did someone give Mavericks a try already? I might give it a shot tonight on my testbed partition :) If I succeed, I'll report back.

 

@The K man: I'm not an expert and can't read anything from your screenshots. But I once had troubles with my DSDT after a BIOS update / had to update my BIOS first in order to use a specific DSDT. Maybe you need a different one now?

 

@itdoesnotwork: I don't have any problems with dropbox.

Installed Mavericks about a month ago from DP1 on my hackintosh and works fine.

Then update to DP2 and DP3 with no issues.

I used DD's script and add manually some kexts and folders to create the boot usb stick.

Then installed to a usb external HDD with no problems.

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R

i7 920

6GB Corsair Ram XMS3 DDR3

GTX 285 nvidia 1GB

 

The only issue was the system hang on "Applemultidevice start : entered "

The only way getting through that was -f flag but a friend gave me the idea of using UseKernelCache=No and worked fine.

No flag is neccessary now.

Everything works fine.

( Voodoohda for sound because i don't know how to patch applehda to work for me , but its ok )

 

I guess DD will come up with a script update as soon as the GM version arrives.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Here's my build....

Where to find DSDT for this firmware F9m?

What audio kexts? and Where do I put em?

Well I downloaded the DP1 and the update to DP6.

I succeeded to build a USB stick with DP1.

Installed DP1 on a new Hdisk. and got DP1 working dough can't get it booting without the USB bootdisk.

 

Updated to DP6, but since then No way to get it working. I think i have problems to get recognized my ATI HD4850 graphicscard.

 

Modified de 7.1 script package with a new folder: "Kexts_10.9" and is recognized by the script !

 

DP1 works with Chameleon 2.2 r2246 bootloader and recognized the /Extra folder

In DP6 I copied ( with the modified script) all specific kexts for my mobo (EX58-UD5) in /Extra folder or in System/Library/Extensions with no obvious difference

(I use latest FakeSMC 4.2 and tried Chameleon 2.2 r2258 bootloader also and even the QE_CI Exotic patch for ATI cards for DP1 and DP6)

 

Perhaps Clover bootloader is better for Mavericks ?

 

Think I'll wait until GM 10.9  release.

:whistle:

Did someone try the 10.8.5 update yet?

Just updated via app store to 10.8.5 from 10.8.4

Installed - Rebooted, lost audio.

Rebuilt caches and kext from 10.8.4. still missing audio.

However: network, appstore, facetime, imessages all work.

Early stages still don't notice anything 'different'

 

Update 1 --

i updated FakeSMC.kext v8.1685 with http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/107-fakesmc-w-haswell-cpu-sensor-for-1089/

There is two versions on this page. I am using v8.1685 (589k) This one works and I get heap of sensor stats now.

 

Update 2 --

After removing removing the npci=0x3000 from org.chameleon.Boot.plist (however I can't see full boot log now)

and adding AppleHDA and HDAEnabler1 kexts. Audio now works 10.8.5

      IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext > Extra
      JMicron36xeSATA.kext > Extra
      HDAEnabler1.kext > System from https://github.com/toleda/audio_kext_enabler
      IONetworkingFamily.kext > Extra
      AppleRTC.kext > Extra
      FakeSMC.kext > Extra
      NullCPUPowerManagement.kext > Extra

thanks for your fast response jc84. Did you use a kext for audio (which one) or do you use a DSDT patch? I'm using a DSDT patch (see my sig) so maybe that doesn't break...

Before I loose audio on my main install, I have to make sure that everything works (at least until Mavericks comes out hehe)

Just my 2 cents:

I didn't update my PC since September 2012! I jump from Mountain Lion 10.8.2 directly to 10.8.5 WITHOUT any problems.

 

After a perfect reboot I just rebuild the cache and voilà : it works perfectly.

 

Thank you Digital_Dreamer for your amazing script.

missing audio after 10.8.5 update :-(

Ladies and Gents:

Remove npci=0x3000 or npci=0x2000 from Kernel Flag in org.chameleon.Boot.plist or Boot Arguments in config.plist

 

I have found some issues that coincides with the 10.8.5 update and up to the upcoming other release that will be out soon as I was digging around a couple of weeks ago and found my machine to have no audio for some reason. I have found that the fix is a couple of simple words that are in most of everyones boot.plist in the extra folder. 

The main issue seems to be that if you have either "ncpi=0x2000" or "ncpi=x3000" set as a kernel flag in your com.apple.boot plist, it "kills" the audio upon rebooting machine, as "npci=setting" is messing with the PCI configuration space, which has something to do with the initialization time of devices starting up. That's what I'm seeing on my end I believe. The kernel flags were needed in the past to boot LION "npci=0x3000 on most most boards and is now not being used in Mountain LION, 10.8.5. I have seen the kernel flag npci=0x2000 being used on some motherboards without a issue, depending on the chipset, i.e: X58, X79, etc. You will have to try the different settings out and see what works for you.

Check out Toleda's post for audio here.

quick success story here:

I updated to 10.8.5 via software update, restarted and everything was fine.

Since I don't use any audio kexts (included in my DSDT), audio work perfectly fine.

I also didn't have to change anything in my boot plists or rebuild caches because I am using Clover as bootloader.

 

next quest: Mavericks ;)

I had to remove also npci=0x3000 from kernel flag, because it blocked my SSD bootdisk  !

Which need AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext to be recognized on my SATA plugin card controled by Marvell 88SE9120

Here's how to cleanly acquire working audio, for both 10.8.5, and Mavericks (currently at DP8) on the EX58-UD5:

 

-First, setup an injection method. You'll need to select between 3 layout-ids, so scroll down, through the ReadMe-article, linked.

-Second patch for ALC885, not 889. ALC889 is not the same as 889a/885 -- which is the UD5's chip.

 

--

..Lastly, if you're feeling lazy, here's a dsdt (F13 bios, layout1) and patched AppleHDA.

Cheers.
