mysticmac Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 - 7300 GT needs to use kernel 32, GeForce driver panics in 64 bits. Others process runs in 64 mode, so I don't think it's a real loss of performance. Perhaps I will use another graphic card, who doesn't need to use GraphicsEnabler in Chameleon. I switch to a 9500GT, works fine in 64 mode with Graphic Enabler = y - the launchd process (pid = 1) always run fsck at startup, cause of an ioctl error. I replace /sbin/fsck with a "fake" (a sample script "echo"), now boot run faster : about ten seconds on a SSD disk . Bios boot take more time ! I'm now quiet for a while...

scanny Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 C-States breaks sleep on my GA EP45-UD3P. I'm running the following configuration: Motherboard: GA EP45-UD3P, Rev. 1.6, FD BIOS Processor: Q6600 Memory: 8MB Kingston Value Ram DSDT fixes: TMR, HPET, RTC, CMOS, PCI Root, HDEF, EHCI, SBUS, SATA icon, Gigabyte Shutdown, PWRB, LPC, Boot on Wake fix (LPCB AG3E field) ep45_ud3p_fd.dsl.zip Kexts: FakeSMC Chameleon (recent build): GraphicsEnabler, GeneratePStates Runs at about 30-32 Celsius with SpeedStep. Even better, runs at 25-27 if I add C-States. Problem is sleep breaks when I add C-States, either via DSDT or Chameleon. System reacts to sleep key press, display shuts down and HDs spin down, but fans keep spinning, blue power light is on, and that little "chirp" and Motherboard LEDs flash bit never happens. System will not wake from this state, requires reset or holding power button in for four seconds for hard shutdown. I've been working my way through the Gigabyte DSDT thread, the Vanilla SpeedStep thread and a few others for the last few days but can't seem to turn anything up. Anyone heard of this before and can point me in the right direction? Sweet highly-vanilla rig now and just need to finish a few details Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257753-snow-leopard-on-gigabyte-mobos/page/7/#findComment-1761616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
will chandler Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I nuked a klunky, but functional leopard install on my old GA-945GCMX-S2 system, so I have been stuck trying to do a modern Snow Leopard install. I have researched for the past two weeks and I still have problems with the install. Could someone please help me? Here is what I have so far: My board is a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2,revision 6.6 bios F6i. I followed MaLd0n's instructions in this thread. I booted with the Gigabyte BIOS iso, installed 10.6.0 from a retail disk, extracted my DSDT and patched with the gma950 and other patches specific to this board MaLd0n posted to this thread:DSDT fixes for Gigabyte boards I also manually fixed the (Local0,Local0) problem, and allowed the patcher to automatically fix a "Length is larger than Min/Max" error it found. I renamed the "Extra_iMac9_1" folder to "Extra" and dragged it to my boot disk. I rebooted, installed 10.6.7 combo patch, rebooted and installed Chameleon 2.0 RC5 r1349. I used an older version because I wasn't sure the newer versions would work. Now the system will boot on its own, but there are no resolution options in the system preferences other than 1024x768 which I specified in com.apple.boot.plist. Also, sleep freezes the system but not the display, and it won't wake. Any ideas how I can fix this? Regarding the GMA950 issue I found this page:Intel GMA 950 Snow Leopard Fix which claims that adding AppleIntelIntegretedFramebuffer.kext fixes the problem. Would removing the GMA950 DSDT patch and adding this help? If I can't get the integrated graphics to work, what's the best way to add a 256MB BFG GeForce 7900GS to the system. Kext, DSDT edit or what? On a basic note, if I do add kexts, should i use something like kexthelper to install them in System/Library/Extensions or just put them in Extra/Extensions? I haven't done further tweaks, like adding a kext to fix the sound or seeing if I need to install something to support the ethernet chipset. If there are other fixes that need to be done, I'd like to know. I know this is an old motherboard and an old thread. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

ovichan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks for you work. I have one question. My motherboard is GA-X58-UD5, bios version F12 mod with slic 2.1. If I use a dsdt for installing hackintosh, could enter in conflict both??

starobrno1 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There actually is a snow 64 nvinject.kext for the 7300gs that probably works for the whole 7xxx series and a few more videocards if you search the internet. You need to edit it like I did though so search for my posts about video cards. When you switch between 32 an 64 bit you need to switch/replace the kexts though, thats the backside of it.

emenelton Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I am a new poster here and am hoping that some of the nice people here can help me. I have done a couple of builds over the last 2 years. I just installed SL on a eg45m-ud2h following this thread. I have been fairly successful. I have the Q9550 recognized and running at 38C. My network works also. I used one of the latest chameleon's(which generated the DSDT) and Hackboot v6. I am stuck on the checksum error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

emenelton Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I hope someone can chime in. I did solve the checksum error by using the elliotforcerestart kext. It aint pretty but it works. I oc to 3.4 and get a geek bench of 7540 47 degree core on cpu 1 at idle. When I run one of the Logic Demo songs the rest of the cores also go up to 47 degrees, which seems really good. The sleep thing is totally not happening. When I hit sleep the desktop halts for a moment and then I get a usb disconnected wrong warning and the desktop gets sluggishly responsive. Shutdown and restart do work fine however.

Ermal Koci Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hey guys, Just wondering. Is it totally inappropriate to ask for a Gigabyte AMD motherboard here? I have a GA-MA790FXT UD5P. I found the DSDT patcher, but no info for AMD mobos. Im having trouble with restart/sleep and trying to find some way to fix it. I just installed with Nawcom's boot CD, Updated to 10.6.8 and everything is working (at least it looks like) but when i restart, the pc turns off and doesn't turn on again. same thing when I try the sleep. It goes off, when I power it up again it keeps restarting (cd checking contiguously!) Anyway, before I get more into detail, without being inappropriate, could please someone point me into the right direction? (or the right forum?!) I would be eternally grateful! Thanks to everyone ... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257753-snow-leopard-on-gigabyte-mobos/page/7/#findComment-1814417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdg1618 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hello, Sorry, but I am a novice at this. I can not install ML on my SL 10.6.6 because I receive a message that this is only possible with SL 10.6.8 or above. I have tried many times with different kexts and through different methods to upgrade my system to 10.6.8 so that I could install Lion and now Mountain Lion, but have failed each and every time. Does anybody know a way around this, because I would like to install ML. Thank you for your consideration mdg1618 my system: mobo: GA-X58A-UD3R rev: 1.0 BIOS: F6 CPU: Core i7 - 920 LGA: 1366 Graphic Card: XFX ATI Readon HD 5770 Audio: Realtek ALC889 Ethernet: Realtek 8111D RAM: 6 GB of GSkills Trident DDR3-2000 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257753-snow-leopard-on-gigabyte-mobos/page/7/#findComment-1840124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PippoX0 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi, I installed Snow Leo on my pc. (GA-H67N-USB3-B3 and Intel Core i5-2500k ) I have used HackBoot V7 for Sandy Bridge and Retail Snow Leopard DVD 10.6.3 buyed some times ago from Apple. Then i have updated the system with MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.pkg Hint -> First i have deleted ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext inside IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext to avoid KP during upgrade !! All Works Fine ( network RTL81xxx.Kext, Audio VoodooHDA.kext for 10.6 ) Now i want to get QE/CI patching FrameBuffers for my Intel HD3000 :-> AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB is very different from the one from OSX Lion and over, so i have to dig around to find the magic numbers ...
