gechulicious Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 you need the Chameleon RC5 / P and C states(boot.plist) + LPC Loaded + Fix Hpet(DSDT Auto-Patcher)use nullcpupowermanagement while you do not solve this problem I think I got the "P and C states" right because in the EXTRA folder you created for me there was a preconfigured boot.plist. What is the "LPC Loaded"? I believe I´m using the latest Chamelon release found in this thread. I used the DSDT auto-patcher, and moved the output DSDT.aml file to the EXTRA folder at my harddrive. Sorry no second harddrive available. Have to stick with MBR partion scheme. Thanks for helping me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 you should use this tutorial with a clean installation Everything you need is in DSDT and folder Extra the ideal is where we simplify the process is not so simple if we do not collaborate gets worse the myhack must use some kexts in the S/L/E but I'm not sure I do not use this procedure sorry What is the "LPC Loaded"?

gechulicious Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi MaLd0n, finally made som progress! Now booting works fine. Everything is stable. But new problems have showed up. 1. "failed to unmount home dir.." when I quit OSX 2. can´t get USB Mantra TR1 IR receiver to work 3. can´t get USB Creative EMU 0202 external USB Noticed that there were some USB-related settings in the Chameleon system pane. But none helped. Any suggested on how to approach these problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 1. "failed to unmount home dir.." when I quit OSX Restart and Shutdown work? 2. can´t get USB Mantra TR1 IR receiver to work3. can´t get USB Creative EMU 0202 external USB use search forum or Google Noticed that there were some USB-related settings in the Chameleon system pane.

gechulicious Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The system shutdown and reboots just fine. Just an annoying error text =) For the other issues my google skills doesn´t seem to be good enough, or there´s nothing useful out there. Will do some more troubleshooting tonight.

gechulicious Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yesterday was a big day! I finally got all of my hardware working! =D Since somewhere about 2008 Creative have supported Creative EMU 0202. But from what I´ve read the drivers was really poor. And about half a year ago they released new beta drivers. I tried both these drivers without success. Really frustrating. Then I read somewhere that these drivers would ONLY work in 32bit, and my OSX installation defaulted to 64bit. So I simply changed the kernel flags in com.apple.boot.plist to i386. In 32bit. And whooolla the device worked! For Mantra TR1 transceiver I had to use Remote Buddy. Once installed, it worked flawlessly. MaLd0n, you´ve been very helpful. Please let me know if I can support any hackintosh project with a little $$$ donation. /Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aMuse Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi MaLdOn, hi everybody, Things have come a long way. I started 4 years ago and am just looking for a more elegant installation. DSDT really looks very promising. I have been with Chameleon RC4, kext and strings but with 10.6.4 I will definitely try out DSDT. Any advice for the following setup: GA-EP35-DS35 Q6600 EVGA GTX 470 fishingrock95 suggests using Myhack 1.1.4 with the nVidia kexts: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1531533 Any thoughts? aMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aMuse Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks for your quick reply MaLdOn, you are really amazing, offering to fix a patcher for me. The board is GA-EP35-DS3R (which means your patcher might just work as is for the board), but I am more concerned about the EVGA GTX 470 and am not sure if I should wait till 10.6.5 for the drivers.

erunamo Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi First... sorry if my english is bad I'm totally a noob in osx86, so I'm trying to learn my own "how-to" My system is this: GA-EP35-DS3 Ati HD 4870 club 3D 4GB Ram Quad Q9450 Monitor 1900x1080 Right now i have Windows 7 in my main hdd, and I've prepared another hdd with a partition for OSX. They're both in MBR. I tried to install the retail DVD of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 with Nawcom's BootCD, and it seems fine, I just had to erase the partition using HFS+. Now I don't know what to do to get everything working. My graphics are in 1024x768 and I don't know what else (if anything) is not configured properly. Will your method work on my system (MBR)? It's the difference between GUID and MBR so important? And for dual boot, what would you recommend? Chain0 or chameleon? Thank you in advance, and sorry for my long post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance, and sorry for my long post Hi, erunamo Use Chameleon RC5 erunamo.zip 1-copy the folder Extra for HD ---> /Extra 2-Install Chameleon RC5 3-generate your DSDT, use DSDT_Auto_Patcher.zip the DSDT will be generated in Desktop, copy to folder Extra 4-Reboot -v *I still need to plug in an DVI->VGA adapter on the unused DVI port. Try this if you get a black screen instead of proper graphics. **This problem of dvi2vga dongle was due to a change in the framebuffer version 10.6.3 +. no need to use the dongle dvi2vga, just use the 10.6.2 kexts (ATI4800Controller, ATISupport, ATIFramebuffer). that was the problem that was fixed in 10.6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erunamo Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ok, I have tried... AHCI "problem" is solved thanks to your tips. Now I can boot in windows 7 without changing anything. On the other side... I have installed 10.6.3 from retail dvd with nawcom bootcd. No problems. After the installation I have followed your guide: Copied extra folder, installed chameleon, dsdt generated and copied to extra folder, and reboot in verbose mode. It hangs and do nothing... I have attached a pic of the screen in verbose mode... I need help Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 you're doing the boot with BootCd? some kexts that has nothing to do nullcpupowermanagement appleviata jmicronata etc use the files I sent you only do the boot without bootcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erunamo Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 you're doing the boot with BootCd? some kexts that has nothing to do nullcpupowermanagement appleviata jmicronata etc use the files I sent you only do the boot without bootcd Yes, i didn't do anything else. Just the install with nawcom bootcd (maybe that's the problem...), and in fresh install I did your guide with the file you sent me. And the reboot was without bootcd, only choosing verbose boot in chameleon screen. Maybe nawcom is installing files, so tonight I will try with the HackBootLiteV3, but I don't know if it will work since the hdd with the osx partition is MBR, is that a problem? By the way, I only could enter in verbose mode choosing it in chameleon... is there another way to get in verbose mode (or safe mode) without chameleon? I've read -v and -x switches, but I don't know where to type them. Thank you (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 so tonight I will try with the HackBootLiteV3, but I don't know if it will work since the hdd with the osx partition is MBR, is that a problem? yes, this is a problem you need the Hybrid MBR OR other HD By the way, I only could enter in verbose mode choosing it in chameleon... is there another way to get in verbose mode (or safe mode) without chameleon? I've read -v and -x switches, but I don't know where to type them. Thank you (again) I do not know Use Chameleon RC5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erunamo Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 yes, this is a problemyou need the Hybrid MBR OR other HD I do not know Use Chameleon RC5 I can't understand, but with hackbootv3 lite it can't even start the install. When the dvd is initializing there are some errors and it hangs. The only way I can enter the installation is with nawcom, but it seems to install kexts. I still can enter SL with -x switch in chameleon rc5, and it seems to work the 4870 and the rest, but I don't know why I can't boot normally. How can I "clean" the boot?

erunamo Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 use -v(without CD)Post a photo Here is the photo using -v without CD and a photo of the system booted with -x, with the Extra folder, just in case. Another thing I've noticed is that everytime I boot SL (with -x) the time changes 1 hour less, so when I switch to win 7 is one hour less than the actual.

erunamo Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 remove VoodooHda.kext Well, finally I got it working. I don't know how to verify if everything is correct or if some piece is misconfigured, but it apperently works fine. What I've done after some web-digging is to remove AppleHDA.kext located in /System/Libraries/Extensions. After that everything is working, even the audio with the VoodooHDA and I can boot normally. I even have updated SL to 10.6.5 without problems, but obviously I have had to remove again appleHDA.kext to be able to boot again (same problem). What I can't understand is why this problem is happening to me since the audio integrated in this motherboard is the very same as in the p35-ds3... Why (e)p35-ds3 owners can boot without this problem (or even boot the install of SL via hackbootv3 lite without problems) and I have struggled to do the very same? What's the difference? Maybe some BIOS setting? And the problem with the hour continues. In SL, I boot and the hour is correct, but when I reboot in win 7 the hour is one less than the actual... X-files? It hasn't happened before installing SL. Any tips? Thank you for everything MaLd0n !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
