Hello guys !

It's a perfect guide, but I have an issue ... I've created my USB key, everything goes fine BUT ! When I lauch Lionize, I have an error:

Monter l'image d'OS X Lion...

The main problem is: if I don't plug the USB Key, the result is the same ... SO ! I guess it don't see the key. I've try with plenty USB Key ... Still the same result.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot !

It looks like, yep !

Gf1 · April 15, 2012

how have you done de USB Boot?

It looks like, yep !

herwawan · April 16, 2012

Ok guys, it was strange: in the /Volumes Folders, there was a "USB Boot" folder ! A real folder, not an USB device ... Weird. And the worst: now the mac don't have anymore sound ... I think something has been erased when I was trying to make it work. I'd clicked everywhere, even on recrendae and I think this has make something wrong.

To speak about my PC, I've succeed in creating the USB Boot Device, BUT, once pluged at my PC and booted in, I just have a "_" that blink.

Any idea for my 2 problems ? Thanks a lot !

herwawan · April 19, 2012

After reinstalling the system, everything runs fine again !

But I'm still not able to boot on the USB Disk ... Still the blinking _ ...

Help !

iFabio you said you have a d link blue tooth adaptor and wake from sleep is enabled? did you do this in the dsdt as mine isn't working ( never has) could you point me in the right direction please, mine is dbt 120 b4

herwawan · April 20, 2012

Ok folks, I've finaly reach my goal ! I had to use the -v -npci=0x2000 to pass the "PCI Configuration Begin" problem, and I've complete the whole installation process !

But now, when I boot, it's really slow ! If I type -v, I can see "Read HFS+ file:" SO MANY time !

AND ... when I try to boot from my HDD, I have the PCI configuration begin again, even when I type -v -npci=0x2000. Is there a solution ?

Thanks a lot for making a so simple guide !

Hi folks!

I had a fully working Gygabyte Geforce Gt 430 1Gb DDR3 full QE/CI on Lion 10.7.2, a couple of days ago i updated to 10.7.3 and things aren't the same.

after the update i followed this steps to keep my gfx working:

• Installed Combo OpenCl Enabler from Mbeast 4.3.2

• Installed Chimera 1.9.1

• Installed CUDA driver 4.2.7

• Repairred permissions with MBeast

• Installed ErmaC's -r1924 Chameleon

• Ran Recrendae from ErmaC's Lionize 1.07

• Reboot

After the reboot my system was up and running full resolution, then i noticed that every time i open Launchpad, games, etc, things weren't smooth. When i open Launchpad it opens like it has hickups.

Runned Luxmark to test and the result was 10 and this app reported "gpu: 0mhz"

I know something is wrong, just don't know what it is.

Can anyone help me?

silly but ill ask , have you checked your applegraphicspowermanagement kext or the nvdagf100 and geforcegl driver to make sure the gnu has been added ?

silly but ill ask , have you checked your applegraphicspowermanagement kext or the nvdagf100 and geforcegl driver to make sure the gnu has been added ?

No i didn't, yes there any guide to that?

One more thing, yesterday i've made the stupidest thing ever... Since i was getting trouble with the grafics, i deleted the entire /S/L/E content, and restored the /S/L/E/ backup from 10.7.2, then extracted the combo update from 10.7.3 and copied just the SLE folder over.

THE STUPIDEST mistake was that i forgot to run Recandrae before reboot and now i cant boot to Lion, first it hanged on [PCI Configuration Begin] Solved by adding npci=0x2000 to the boot and now it hangs on jnl: something error.

Is there any way to run recandrae from single-user (i'm able to login with -s) or anything i can do to prevent the reinistall of the system?

akhenamenra · April 26, 2012

http://www.weezey.com/2011/10/os-x-lion-1072-with-nvidia-gtx-570.html i used this but only this section

You can do this fix using this helpful perl command line script.

# perl -pi -e '$c++ if s|\xeb\xa8\x83\xf8\x02\x7c\x15|\xeb\xa8\x83\xf8\x03\x7c\x15|; s|\x78\xe8\x83\xf8\x02\x7c\x11|\x78\xe8\x83\xf8\x03\x7c\x11|; END { unless ($c) { warn "No substitutions made\n"; $? =1 } }' /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceGLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GeForceGLDriver

A step I didn't do previously is to modify libclh.dylib to allow OpenCL 2.0. It shouldn't be necessary for GTX 570 cards but for complete hack-ness, I opted to do it anyway...

8b 87 1c 0c 00 00 89 06 8b 87 20 0c 00 00 89 02

will be replaced with

31 c0 ff c0 ff c0 89 06 31 c0 89 02 90 90 90 90

# perl -pi -e '$c++ if s|\x8b\x87\x1c\x0c\x00\x00\x89\x06\x8b\x87\x20\x0c\x00\x00\x89\x02|\x31\xc0\xff\xc0\xff\xc0\x89\x06\x31\xc0\x89\x02\x90\x90\x90\x90|; END { unless ($c) { warn "No substitutions made\n"; $? =1 } }' /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceGLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/libclh.dylib

Now we edit the AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext to add power management for our card. Once again our system is set to be an iMac 12,2 so that's where I've added the following (in black)...

<dict>

...

<key>Vendor1002Device6740</key>

<dict>

<key>control-id</key>

<key>max-power-state</key>

<dict>

<key>Vendor10deDevice1081</key>

<dict>

<key>Heuristic</key>

<dict>

<key>IdleInterval</key>

<key>SensorOption</key>

<key>SensorSampleRate</key>

<key>TargetCount</key>

<key>Threshold_High</key>

<array>

</array>

<key>Threshold_Low</key>

<array>

</array>

</dict>

<key>LogControl</key>

<key>control-id</key>

</dict>

<key>default-control-id</key>

</dict>

<dict>

Now we rebuild the caches..

# rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache

# kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

# kextcache -system-caches

Off topic, but has anyone got their ASUS board to work in Mountain Lion using this procedure?

I'd like to give it a try on either my P6TSE or Rampage Gene II board but don't want to get stuck if you guys feel that it will not work.

Edit: I managed to solve this if i don't select iTunes and Remote Desktop installation

This happened because Apple has change the "link" for the java "stuff"...

Is not a bug in Lionize..

--- STEP 8 (ALTERNATIVE)---

How update my new working Lion 10.7 to 10.7.1, 10.7.2 or 10.7.3?
You need an existing OSX to Repair/move rebuild cache ecc...

Update your Lion 10.7.0 or 10.7.1 to 10.7.2

Run Recreandae (from Lionize 1.07

Reboot into a old OSX (ex: Snow or Leopard or other Lion)
Open terminal and enter in sudo mode
sudo -s
Enter your admin password now...
vsdbutil -i /Volumes/the_name_of_your_Lion_partition
Now I suggest to move FakeSMC from Extra/Extensions to S/L/E For this you can use Kext Wizard (In my case I move also AppleVIAATA.Kext) now remove that file from Extra/Extensions (Of course we talk about the Lion partition) Always from Kext Wizard now we can rebuild the cache and repair disk permission.. this take some time...
) ok exit from sudo mode (Terminal)
exit
Here a link to a solution in this tread: http://www.insanelym...dpost&p=1766702

-------------------------

Hello, I made to install Lion 10.7.1 on my i7930 p6x58d-e and boot normally without the usb.

Now I have to update to version 10.7.3 and here is where the problems begin. I Install via software update, then I run Recreandae in the Hackintosh PC, and then I tried to reboot from my usb, go to the terminal and do step 5 but the vsdbutil cannot be found. I have a MacBookPro with Lion 10.7.3 installed, so I can do in my MacBook, but do I have to remove the Disk from Hackintosh and connect it to my macbook to do step 4 and 5? Please help my with this.

Thanks.

Hello, thank you very much for your hard work on this , managed to get my rampage iii extreme going but got a couple of questions :

Is there a way to make geek bench not show hackintosh ? i have a rampage iii extreme a core i7 920 and system is set as mac pro 3,1, the weird thing is that if i change smbios to a mac pro 4,1 or anything else the installation / lion boot up will freeze without really any useful information, any idea why that might be ?

Building a usb boot disk with mac pro 5 now to see if it boots, other than that everything is looking ok , app store working etc, just would like for it to not be detected as a hackintosh.

Thanks

Setting mac pro 5.1 also didn't work, i did it from lionzie and just smbios edit and it froze on startup, here is the error :

ACPI: : SMC PLATFORMPLUGIN : : PUSHCPU_CATDATA : CST evaluation failed

NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered

Apletymcedrive :: start corevidpid = 0xffffffff number of packages = 1 number of cpus = 8 memory monitor through MCA

I tried changing it to a iMac and it worked, not showing hackintosh anymore, but i would like to have it set as a mac pro (does it make any difference performance wise even? and not show as hackintosh on geekbench if possible, any idea?

Much appreciated

I was wondering how do I get Auto Sleep to work on my P6T SE? Thanks!

DefKorns · May 1, 2012

run Recandrae from Lionize 1.07.

Auto Sleep is working on my p6t se.

syn909 · May 1, 2012

run Recandrae from Lionize 1.07.

Auto Sleep is working on my p6t se.

I have run Recandrae and my Bios settings are the same as you specified on the first page of this post. Any suggestions?

DefKorns · May 2, 2012

I asked a friend a Sata hdd and proceeded with a fresh install of Lion.

After the clean install i upgraded to 10.7.1 manually (since the upgrade with lionize gives a fatal error) > Recrandae > Reboot.

Then i upgraded to 10.7.3 and proceed the same way.

After reboot i tried everything to get my gfx working 100% and it still works as i described before.

Any one have a full working Geforce Gt 430 1Gb DDR3?
