Hi Andy,

Yes Iam, does it make a differance?.

 

Yours Terry.

 

On my 6870's it does yes. On those cards when using dvi->vga I have to use either Pithecia or Ipomoea framebuffers. I also had to use a tool such as DisplayConfigX to set the correct native resolution.

However once that was done all was well.

Hi Andy,

Tried both framebuffers above but neither worked. In a different thread I saw that adding the line <string> PCIRootUID=1</string> to boot.plist worked on some cards, so I tried this and it still did not work. So I tried with <string> PCIRootUID=0</string> and this caused the system to crash just before as it switched from the grey screen to the black screen. Now I'am wondering which of these commands is the one I should use?. If you use the wrong framebuffer does it cause a crash or just not alter display properties and continue to boot.

 

Yours Terry.

PS and thanks for your help.

If you use the wrong framebuffer generally your monitor will go to sleep, or go white with a cursor, or a pretty shade of blue.

 

If the monitor is going to sleep then it may be that you need to use something like DisplayConfigX to force the correct display information. I had this problem when I shifted my 6870's from this pc to my spare. That pc is connected to a kvm which only supports vga so I had to use a dvi->vga adapter. This refused to work with the framebuffer I had been using previously so I had to switch to Ipomoea which decided not to correctly read the displays EDID information (not all resolutions were available) which was easily fixed via DisplayConfigX.

My resolution is stuck at 1024x768 because my video card isn't being read right. Im using Andyboot on my P8P67 PRO and i7 2600k with an evga 9500 GT. Does anyone know if just replacing this nVidia card with an ATI Radeon one such as http://www.bestbuy.com/site/XFX+-+ATI+Rade...p;cp=1&lp=1 fix my resolution problem?

 

Will this work right out of the box?

 

Hi...

thanks

Andy thank you for all your help and contribution. ^__^

I followed the steps exactly on the first page and able to install os X on my P8P67 i7 2600k.

 

The following list are things that are not working on my board.

 

Sound

Blue tooth

Network card

HD 5450 (My old vga card, thinking about picking up Gigabyte 5770 Bat mobile. Would this card work right away with this installation?)

 

Is there any way to get the Lan card to work?

 

Thank you

 

Asus P8P67 (not a pro one)

i7 2600k

I came up with a generally usable package to enable Bluetooth on P8P67:

 

http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?p=117729#p117729

 

Need testers :)

 

you sir are amazing! Worked on my P8P67 Pro board! Haven't actually tested it with anything however bluetooth is now showing up in system profiler!

 

Thanks for the great work!!!

 

edit: Successfully paired my droid x via bluetooth!!!

I have a P8P67 Pro with 2600K and Radeon 5770, 16GB RAM, SSD drive. I keep getting ACPI error message when trying to boot the retail OSX 10.6.3 DVD after booting from Andy's boot disk. BIOS is optimized default with SATA set to AHCI. Not sure what else is wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Will this work with a Radeon 6950?

 

On my current hackintosh I boot off of a SD card that holds my bootloader and files. So as a result I have no problem with system updates as the files I need are on the SD card and updates don't alter them.

 

If I install the bootloader and files on the HD will system updates render the system unbootable?

@^Andy^

 

Thanks for your guide. I have got mine up and running for most part. It still has no sound (Update: fixed). I'm a Mac noob so I don't know how to fix it. I haven't checked sleep since I still have problem of waking up even in windows 7 64.

 

My system:

MB: Asus P8P67 Pro

CPU: Intel i7-2600k

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

GPU: MSI R5770 Hawk

PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W.

OD: LG BD writer

 

@drcrack

 

Thanks. I set up as your guidance and bluetooth working now!

 

@wskteo

 

You might try working with just one stick of RAM in slot #DIMM_A2. That's what I've learned here and done.

ok, really close to 100% now

 

have solved ati bug, have installed older open gl lib so steam games play properly, bluetooth working.

 

The only thing left puzzling me is sleep.

 

I can get sleep to work perfectly with the latest sleepenabler.kext , but only if i boot with the flag pmVersion=23

 

When i try and add this to the boot plist, it doesnt work, but if i type it manually, it does!

What am i doing wrong?

Seeing as there have been a lot of changes since I first created the AndyBoot cd I have now updated it to version 2 :wacko:

 

The new boot cd contains an updated bootloader with a default definition of macbookpro 8,3 (you can override this with an smbios.plist if required) along with a few updated ATI card Id's and fixed the error messages produced by the original bootloader.

 

The CD now contains 2 different packages..

 

The first package (P8P67 Pro Installer ATI6000.pkg) is for people that with to install the new 2011 mbp ATi kexts (i.e. HD 6850 and 6870 owners).

 

The second package (P8P67 Pro Installer.pkg) is for people with either a non ATi card or older series ATi cards that may not wish to install the newer kexts (5000 series don't need the newer kexts if you use GraphicsEnabler).

 

You only need to install whichever package is relevant to you - Don't install them both. Other than the newer ATi kexts both packages are the same!

 

What's new in the packages?

Audio installation is now fixed and will install correctly - additionally this has been updated to support 5.1.

Bluetooth now works thanks to drcrack's injector.

Freshly compiled (this morning in fact) version of chameleon bootloader is installed.

 

The new bootcd can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/?a6bu98fdobb4s2g

 

Special note for HD 6970 users..

If you have a 6970 like me then I would advise you to only update as far as the 10.6.6 combo update and then install the standard (P8P67 Pro Installer.pkg) package. You wont have full resolution support or QE/CI with the 6970 but at least you will have a bootable system.

Enjoy. :(

You need to use a genuine OS X install DVD. Try again with a genuine install dvd - beyond that I can't help you - sorry :wacko:

 

Andy,

 

Which version of Chameleon did you compile in there? 752? Is there Lion support too?

 

Thanks.

 

Also anyway to select or custom install individual pieces of the package?

Andy,

 

I upgraded to your latest bootloader release from your last post. The 'P8P67 Pro Installer.pkg' file. When I reboot I got KP right away with CPU Kernel mismatch error. Luckily I have two hard drives with almost identical installations. One is a clone of the other for testing. So I reboot this time into my main installation with Anvil 709 I think and it had no problem loading itself or the test partition! Weird! So I thought could it be my DSDT files? So I deleted both that were on the root and the extra folder and still it KP'd! So I installed the new [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 3.5 SandyBridge boot loader onto the test drive and the same thing happened again! Weird!

 

You know what fixed it? Copying the /Extra folder from the good installation onto the other partition!

 

Not sure why...

The bulk of it is 750, no lion support although oddly I was messing with that earlier on tonight but the version on netkas site is built on too old a build and is turning into too much of a mare to merge (especially seing as I cant actually test it even if I do manage to get it compiled due my 6970 not being overly happy with any of the recent ATi kexts)

Very odd - what kexts do you have in the extra folder? (and did you notice if any were missing on the knackered install?)

It was pretty odd thats for sure! I had started out with 10.6, combo update, your p8p67 pro package, bridgehelper, [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 3.4 (system utils, ElliotForceRTC ?, EvOreboot ?, FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManage, USB 3.0, SB bootloader and theme), VoodooHDA 2.72 standalone installer, Sleepenabler Kext, Tonymac nVidia update, and a bluetooth kext. The '?' means not sure if I installed it or not but a good bet I did. I was playing around with DSDTs and installed them to the root and /Extra folder but made sure they were deleted. Anyhow I just ran the SB [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] bootloader 3.5 and had no problems booting. Could it be a compatibility issue with Tonymac's [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] bootloader?

 

Anyhow all good now and was able to update to [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] SB bootloader ver 3.5 this time. Wish your update would allow to pick and choose what to install like [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] but thanks anyhow...

Hey Andy,

 

I downloaded your new boot cd, mounted it, and copied the ATI package to my drive.

 

After running and restarting it, I've lost my sound. Can't figure out how to get it back. Any ideas? I should mention I had originally installed OSX using your first iteration of the boot cd.
