I installed Snow Leopard on my Gigabyte EX58A-UD7 VERY smoothly...

 

now Im realizing that my Ethernet cards dont show up, my bus speed is detected at 1067mghz, FINAL CUT PRO isnt working (suspect its the ethernet card)....

 

Any tips?

Don't tell me, let me guess - you have the rev. 2.0 board. See here:

http://puru.se/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp...08&start=30

for a successful resolution to sound and ethernet problems on the X58A-UD7 rev 2.0 (works for the UD3R rev. 2.0 board also)

I'll check it out right now. Thanks!

 

I searched for this on all the best osx86 boards but there is just soooo many posts and so many of them aren't relevant so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh any BTW, Yeah. Your right. REV 2.0 lol

 

BTW, that post referred me to another post....still following the trail of breadcrumbs

Yep, treplau6 posted a link to how he got sound working and I added one to the networking solution I found while I was researching problems with the UD3R since I as looking at using that board for a build for a friend (she decided to go with a P55 board) - very last post on the page has a link to IONetworkingFamily kext file to get the Lan working. You might not be at the end of the tunnel, but you can at least see some light down there, lol!

Does anyone know if the GA-EG41MFT-US2H motherboard is supported?

 

What about the Intel GMA X4500 grafics?

 

Is there any Micro ATX / Mini ITX supported motherboard for Kakewalk? I´m planning to build a mediacenter connected to my tv...

 

Yes the GIGABYTE GA-G41M-ES2L is a Micro ATX board. It is also the cheapest board on Newegg ($57) and works great with the USB method. The only downside is it only has 2 memory slots, but 2-4gb is plenty for a mediacenter.

Unfortunately this didnt work at all for me. 

 

As soon as i get to the bootloader and select it i get a black screen and the Radeon fan starts run at 100%. Do i have to alter something from the vanilla Kakewalk install because of the graphics card? Or should i rather get a 10.6.0 DVD as most people use them? 

 

When the darwin bootloader appears, hit enter and use the switches:

 

 

GraphicsEnabler=No arch=i386

 

That should let you install. You will have to enter them every time or add them into the boot plist in the /Extras directory. You will also need to install the drivers and ATY_Init.kext from netkas.org, you should find the drivers easily on his blog.

Hi all,

 

I own a MacBook Pro and I'm planning to use the Kakewalk method to build a Hackintosh. I am wondering if I can simply restore my current Time Machine backup of the MBP onto the new Hackintosh?

Chances are it will not work. You can do a clean install, and then transfer.

In my experience I have found a clean install is normally the best and better option

Have fun

Hello

I'm building a hack based on GA-G41M-ES2L, rev 1.1

E6300 CPU, 2x2 gigs Kingston HyperX@1066 and Gigabyte GT220 graphic card.

My question is, will there be a problem, since the GT220/240 cards are supported since SL 10.6.4 and I'm installing 10.6.0?

 

One more thing,

I was going to use the USB method, but since I do not have a Mac or Hack, what about the TransMac application

http://www.asy.com/index.htm

 

TransMac for Windows can open Macintosh format disk drives, flash drives, CD/DVD/Blu-ray media, high density diskettes, dmg and sparseimage files.
Features:

# Read and write Mac format disks, CD/DVD(DL)/Blu-ray media, high density floppies and disk image files (dmg and sparseimage).

# Supports standard HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) and HFSX (with case sensitive file names) volumes.

# Access Mac volumes on boot drive (like Boot Camp).

# Create, read and write Mac disk image files(dmg and sparseimage).

# Compress and expand (convert to iso) dmg files.

# Built in burner function to create Mac format CD, DVD(DL), and Blu-ray media.

# Burn ISO and dmg files to CD/DVD/Blu-Ray.

# Format disks for use on Mac.

# Read Mac multisession and hybrid CDs.

Can I use this or I have to look for smbd with the Mac/Hack?

 

 

 

How to burn "kakewalk iso image"

I've downloaded the zip file. Do I have to extract it? This is what I get ( I also get an error during extraction)

I have a Kernel PAnic, something about CPU mismatch and it happens when im upgrading from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. I have EP45-UD3LR and never had any problems with upgrades. Can someone tell what i have to do to make it right. I tried system upgrade and downloading Combo Upgrade from z Apple site.

 

Thank you

The GA-G41M-ES2L does not work with the CD method, you must use the USB method. Also, you will have problems with the 220/240 cards if using 10.6.0 retail dvd. You will need to get your hands on another video card to do the installation.

What you try? The Update or the Install with Kakewalk???

 

I am still waiting for the parts for my build to come but chose the GA EP43 board as I could not get the 45 due to being difficult to get now in the UK.

 

I would be really interested to hear from you as you have nearly the same specs as I will.

 

If you don't mind can you tell me what the install was like for you on your hadware

 

Thanks a lot

Hi wangerman

 

Try Plugging the monitor into the other connector on the card.

 

ps This message may take a while to get to you if you are from MARS ??? :unsure:

Have you updated to 10.6.4?

Are you using the VGA port or the DVI port (assuming you don't have a card with 2 DVIports)?

 

Does the com.apple.boot.plist have:

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

and what injector are you using for nVidia graphics? running 32 bit or 64 bit kernel?
