yehia2amer · April 8, 2010

How to install Mac OSX 10.6 on your Laptop HP pavilion dvx (dv6 dv7 dv8) Quad series?

Please share your knowledge

This tutorial is made after doing a lot of research, so share your result with us

also it will be great to share your DSDT.dsl with us to know what cause those KP when using dsdt.aml

(Remark: don't put your dsdt or compiling errors on codebox, just attach them)

this guide will explain:

1) Installation method & kext used

2) Fixing DSDT thnx to ev

At the moment, the hardware that is running and fully supported is as follows:

CPU: 1.6 GHz QuadCore i7-720QM (works 4core/8threads but only with a patched kernel)
GFX: GeForce GT 230M, 1GB PCI-E (fully working QE/CI)
Sound: IDT 92HD75B3 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH - HD Audio Controller [111D-7603] (Speaker working mic not working properly)
Lan: Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit [10EC-8168] (New x64&Bonjour thnx Bit Shoveler) (New x32 only official release)
Wireless:Broadcom 43224AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n [14E4-4353] (Not working at all)
Bluetooth (working)
Webcam (working)

Other info

Model: HP Pavilion dv6-2170 ee
SB: PCH Intel Ibex Peak-M PM55
NB: Intel Lynnfield IMC

Now, I'm going to focus on the installation process and fixing DSDT processes

What do you need?

Retail Snow Leopard OSx 10.6 install disc ( the discs which came with macs for restoring the system will not work)
A harddrive partition of at least 10Gb (i prefer to be external HD, just to test) , ready to be formatted by OSX.
tonymacx86-P55BootCD-nv2xx

New 6/6/2010 fixed kenel specially for Hp Insyde Bios Cpus=1 problem here

to know more about the problem here

1) installation method & kext used

STEP 1: INSTALL MAC OS X

You will need to set your BIOS

your Boot Priority to boot from CD-ROM first
your network power saving to disabled
Download and unzip tonymacx86-P55BootCD.iso
Burn to CD.
Restart computer with tonymacx86-P55BootCD
At Chameleon prompt, replace CD with your Mac OS X Install Retail DVD and press F5.
When you get to the installation screen, open Utilities/Disk Utility.
Format your hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the OS X Installer's Disk Utility. For the purposes of this guide, name it Snow Leopard.
Install Mac OS X. If you get an error message at the end of the install- this is normal. Just continue with the guide- if you can't continue, reboot, erase the drive, and try the install again.

STEP 2: MAKE YOUR SNOW LEOPARD DRIVE BOOTABLE

At this point, you have a working install, but you won't be able to boot it without the CD. To make your new installation bootable without the CD, you must install Chameleon and necessary support files to your Snow Leopard drive.
Boot back into tonymacx86-P55BootCD
Select Snow Leopard drive.
Complete OS X Setup Routine.
When you get to the desktop, open tonymacx86-P55BootCD in finder.
Navigate to tonymacx86-snowleopard folder.
Open Apps and open PC EFI 10.1
Select Snow Leopard and click Continue.
Click Install, and then type your password.
Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal
Type: sudo rm /Volumes/Snow\ Leopard/boot and type your password. (this deletes the boot file installed from PC EFI 10.1)
Close Terminal.
don't boot.

STEP 3: INSTALL ADDITIONAL KEXTS TO SYSTEM/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS

Open tonymacx86-snowleopard Apps folder.
Drag Kext Utility and Kext Helper b7 to your Applications folder.
Lan Driver
Open Kext Helper b7.
Drag(RealtekR1000SL.kext) into Kext Helper b7.
Type your password and click EASY INSTALL.
Close Kext Helper b7.

NewBonjour now confirmed as working from S/L/E with a 64-bit kext developed by Bit Shoveler,auto-installer by Weaksauce12.2010/4/1 x32 only official release installer from here

Audio Driver
install VoodooHDA-0.2.56
Open Snow Leopard drive.
Drag /Extra/ folder from tonymacx86-P55BootCD to your /Extra/ folder
Drag /Extra/Extensions folder onto Kext Utility application. (This will repair permissions on the folder, backup your cache file, and replace cache file with an updated one.)
Drag /System/Library/Extensions folder onto Kext Utility application.
Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Highlight Snow Leopard in the left column.
Click Repair Permissions. You should now have Ethernet access.
Note:There are a few kexts that you can’t use in /Extra/Extensions. These include Ethernet kexts. Also, you’ll need to create new cache files any time you remove or replace kexts. There are a few invaluable programs to allow you to do these tasks effortlessly. They are Kext Utility and Kext Helper b7. You can do all of the things in Terminal, but these apps make it easy and foolproof.

STEP 4: UPDATE TO 10.6.3

Download the Mac OS X 10.6.3 Combo Update
Drag your /System/Library/Extensions folder to the desktop. You may need some of the 10.6.0 Extensions later. It’s always good to have a backup before any ‘point’ system update.
Right click and rename the folder 10.6.0 Extensions.
Mount MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.3.dmg
Install MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.3.pkg
Install the Legacy_Kernel for Intel/amd 10.6.3. available at http://www.kexts.com (to enable 4core/8threads)
Reboot

don't forget to put you busratio flag ex:"busratio=12"

if you want to know why HP insyde users use Legacy_Kernel

DON'T UPDATE TO "MacBook Pro Software Update 1.3" something wrong with it and the system will not boot

2) Fixing DSDT

First:

1) Download this program DSDTSE for Windows XP, Vista and 7 (Thx yehia2amer)

2) then run the program and press Extract DSDT button

3) press Compile DSDT button

4) you will find the code "errors" window, this is mine

First error we are going to fix is in Illegal If statement which is not in a method, nor at module level

so i commented out the code as shown down and on the "dsdt Fixed.dsl" file attached (look for text "!!!")

Compilation complete. 8 Errors, 11 Warnings, 16 Remarks, 7 Optimizations

Second Error ,it's simple change all

Name (BCLx, Package (0×0D) Initializer list shorter than declared package length

to

Name (BCLx, Package () Initializer list shorter than declared package length

and the compiler will fill the “()” with the correct value.

third one is just a logic the compiler doesn´t like, change

Name (PR01, Package (0×00) {})

to

Name (PR01, Package (0×01) {0×00})

This way it will not complain, there is one package with something inside (0×00).

that's all if you complain from any other errors you will find them on DSDT fixes dropdown menu or you can search for them on the DSDTSE folder , DSDTSE\Resources\Dsdt_fixes

(Remark:don't forget to apply needed hacks from the DSDT hacks menu)

enjoy

sorry but this fix is for HP quad core laptops, but if you faced one of those errors you can use this guide

le_squirrel · April 12, 2010

Hello Yehia Amer,

thanks a lot for the guide, that's just what I was waiting for !

I own a DV8-1090ef (french edition, sold in France between October-January, now it has been changed to 1190ef with HM55 chipset).

The only difference I have on the hardware, is about the wifi card:

Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN (not supported either, at the moment)

I'll try your method and get back to you shortly.

About the core i7 QM not fully supported (one core):

. do I have to add a kernel option in the boot.plist ?

. do you know if there's a solution in the works, to fully support the 4cores/8threads ?

My best wishes

L.S.

you are a lucky man , someone just reported this he owen the same laptop as you , quoted for you

Hi all. I have an Hp Dv8t with the same hardware as yehia2amer, except I have the intel wifi card. And all of my cores are working. I did all the things yehia2amer described, in fact I was following a post he was commenting on at the Evosx86 team page. What I have discovered is if I use my corrected dsdt.aml, I would also kernel panic. But what I also discovered is if I don't use a dsdt.aml at all, all my cores are working. Even though I get some errors when I am booting up pertaining to them. I am running SnowLeopard 10.6.3, using the legacy_kernel hack for 10.6.3. I installed 10.6.0. and then used the 10.6.3. combo update. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this. I then installed the attached package, and that was it. No dsdt.aml

G4sho

so just update to 10.6.3 and download the "Legacy_Kernel for 10.6.3", it can be found at http://www.kexts.com

Hi,

Nice, but one thing i want to know, can you fix the cpus=1 problem? I had done it around three months ago, the big problem in this notebook is the cpus=1 problem, and about the display card, can you make more detail, because i only can run it up but without the QE.

franky_402 · April 14, 2010

thanks so much for this writeup ive been trying to install 10.5.2 for a few days with all kinds of kernel panics and errors and now will try this. I have a DV7T-3300CTO with minor differences so hopefully this will work for me as well. My video card is the Nvidea Geforce 320m as opposed to the 230m. Hopefully they find a fix for the processor as limiting it down to one core only seems counter-active. Dont the new macs use i7's?? Anyways im downloading everything needed now and will continue to read through your tut a few times to make sure i dont have any problems. Ill be posting back with my success/failure and hopefully a screenshot running OSX

redcoke · April 14, 2010

i think the one core problem is in the cpu alias, because once you start up the efi, you can see the error is about the cpus alias. it show up 0~8id but in the next id is showing totally different id. like the random cpu id. but i don't know how to fix it.. and i guess in this topic, which seen you can break up the dsdt. so that it will much easier to fix.

yehia2amer · April 14, 2010

DV6T, 4Gram, GF230M,

Please remove from you replay the "quote" for the hole topic (just click edit and delete the quote)

all hp laptops are dv6T but what model and what is your CPU

thanks so much for this writeup ive been trying to install 10.5.2 for a few days with all kinds of kernel panics and errors and now will try this.

it's my pleasure, hope to work with you and i am waiting for your feedback

i am working to end the cpus=1 problem, and as soon as i discovered the problem I will post it

i think the one core problem is in the cpu alias, because once you start up the efi, you can see the error is about the cpus alias. it show up 0~8id but in the next id is showing totally different id. like the random cpu id. but i don't know how to fix it.. and i guess in this topic, which seen you can break up the dsdt. so that it will much easier to fix.

yes i thought just like you at the beginning but when i extracted my dsdt, i just found that there is no alias at all

so Unfortunately that's not the problem

Hi all, I have a Hp dv8t core i7 qm720, w/gt230m, 1920x1080p screen, etc. I would just like to say, good guide. And also let everyone know what has worked for me to get all my cores to work and no cpus=1. After succesfuly getting your 10.6.3. hackbook pro bootable. Install the Legacy_Kernel for Intel/amd 10.6.3. available at http://www.kexts.com. Install this to your root drive. And use without a dsdt.aml file. Sleep,restart, shutdown, usb,sound, ethernet, all work. And to test to see if all your cores are working. Go to activity monitor in utilities, drag it to your task bar, then right click and choose monitor cpus. Should bring up box with 8 sections if you have core i7 720. Then run something like geekbench. If you see green activity in all 8 boxes then all your cores are working.

thanx so much for sharing your experience, yes i know that it is working, it worked for me, but i am trying to get the original vanilla kernel to work not a patched one

anyway i added it to the topic above

but you said that all your devices work (what about the mic and wireless) :unsure:

Hi, no the wireless does not work as it is intel. I have a usb belkin n(ralink2870) wireless dongle. Mic , I don't use so I cannot say if it works are not. I wish you luck in getting the vanilla kernel to work. And will be following this thread closely for any progress. As it was my understanding that Snow leopard does not support the core i7 720QM natively. With the release of the new MacBook Pro's maybe this has changed? I don't know. I know they use the dual core version of the i7 which is the Arrandale line, while ours is Clarksfield.

franky_402 · April 15, 2010

awesome i would love to have all my cores working. Heading out to buy some dual layer dvd's now and hopefully will be up and running later tonight!

franky_402 · April 16, 2010

yah that's a big problem that you have to get red of your stock windows

the 10.5.2 you use contains a patched OSInstall file, you can replace this file also on your SL and install using the OSInstall.mpkg Method

but is not recommended at all

because apple said that and we want a vanilla installation as much as possible

also if you want to upgrade in the future you will face the same problem :unsure:

Tested Mic, shows internal and external in system prefs sounds for choices, neither seems to work.

Did see entry for them in i/o registry though. Any Ideas?

Hi, no the wireless does not work as it is intel. I have a usb belkin n(ralink2870) wireless dongle. Mic , I don't use so I cannot say if it works are not. I wish you luck in getting the vanilla kernel to work. And will be following this thread closely for any progress. As it was my understanding that Snow leopard does not support the core i7 720QM natively. With the release of the new MacBook Pro's maybe this has changed? I don't know. I know they use the dual core version of the i7 which is the Arrandale line, while ours is Clarksfield.

ok I have osx installed and running now,but have a few problems.... When you say to open terminal and run sudo rm /volumes/snow\ leopard/boot it says file not found. Also I'm guessing that with the dsdt program you need to boot back into windows for this you don't say exactly so I'm a little confused

first make sure that you are using this version VoodooHDA-0.2.56

second that there is no any other sound kexts conflicting with this one

third repair permission via Kext Utility and disk utility and remove cashes

then restart

Nice

change "Snow\ Leopard" to your mac partition name

if it fails delete it manually by going to your partition then show hidden files then delete the file called Boot

don't reboot till you install the boot-loader and the extra kexts

ok so I've got that file removed but I can't install the update due to no wireless networking. ai can reboot without any kp's however it will not boot on it's own I still have to use tonymacx86 cd. Does osx have any support for biometrics??? Also I've tested the mic and didn't get any luck. And once I fix the dsdt under win7 where do I go from there does it batch the bios or do I have to load the file into osx. One other thing is osx says I only have 1gb installed memory when I infact have six gb. Also all animations seem very choppy like the video card is not installed but according to your tut it should be fully supported right? Alot of questions I know haha

1) ok so I've got that file removed but I can't install the update due to no wireless networking. ai can reboot without any kp's however it will not boot on it's own I still have to use tonymacx86 cd.
2) Does osx have any support for biometrics???

3) Also I've tested the mic and didn't get any luck.

4) And once I fix the dsdt under win7 where do I go from there does it batch the bios or do I have to load the file into osx.

5) One other thing is osx says I only have 1gb installed memory when I infact have six gb.

6) Also all animations seem very choppy like the video card is not installed but according to your tut it should be fully supported right? Alot of questions I know haha

alot of question and a simple answer follow my guide step by step

2) don't know and don't care

3) me too

4) don't apply the dsdt at all because it still have some unknowen errors

5) after you install the boot loader it will be fixed

6) what version of SL do you use

franky_402 · April 19, 2010

I have followed your guide, I ran the bootloader and deleted file file you suggested through terminal but it's still not booting, about my mac shows I am running 10.6 currently I have not been able to run the update so I also have not changed the kernel yet which I'm hoping is the problem with the choppy video. I'll try to get access to a wired connection so I can update and finifh the remainder of the tutorial.
