pepto Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi folks ! VoodooHDA issue solved ! Actually, the fix is already built-in the VoodooHDA kext. Just open the info.plist with Plist Editor Pro, look at the IOKitPersonnalities and under VoodooHDA, set VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix to Yes. Install the patched voodooHDA kext with Kext Utility and reboot. Voilà ! Volume slider now works as it should ! He Polyzargone Thanks for the fix i will try it tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepto Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 The VooDooHDA.kext works perfect Now listen to Style Council, Thks polyzargone. I will put the kext file as soon as possible in the zip file for install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman08 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 hi Polyzargone' after upgrading to 10.8.5 and using the nullpowerxxxx.kext it boots up from hdd. I still have to check if it wakes up as this was working before. Only issue i have now is the constant audio volume but i will install your voodoo which will hopefully also solve my problem. Unfortunately i cant get my hp6l network printer to print as it is connected to a printserver which obviously doesnt like the mountain lion :-) Are there any tricks to print on this printer despite of the above facts ?

polyzargone Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hey Mr Wayne ;-) Glad to hear that the NULLCPUPowerManagment.kext worked for you. For wake up and sleep, I never succed to make it works, if you find some fix, let me know (seems that the problem is related with the Elemur framebuffer). The voodooHDA trick should work with no problem, you can even install the latest one (VoodooHDA 2.8.4) with the same method. How do you configure your access to the network printer ? If you didn't, try to add a new printer in the system preferences panel and specify that it's a Windows printer, it sould appears in the WORKGROUP section and, hopefully you'll be able to install the printer driver.

Batman08 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi Robin, ;-) i already tried to add a new network printer and i can select it but then i get an error message like "server version is not supported by the operating system". Looks like my printserver does not support OSX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Did you tried to get the driver from HP ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman08 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 No as i dont get to that point where i need the driver. I have a Longshine PS-110 printerserver with parallel connection to the HP6L. The printserver supports Apple-Talk, but this is not supported anymore by 10.8.5 if i am not wrong. Is there any possibility to still use this printer ?

Batman08 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 After some fittling around the HP6L is now printing... I used the direct IP adress and have choosen HP4/HP5 printer driver. Only drawback now is that the upper border is set qwrong, i.e. first half line is missing on the printout, at least in outlook. I think word etc. is allowing to set the borders of the printout, so it should not be a problem anymore. Thanks for the input polyzargone !

jetfoi Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 So first I would like to introduce myself. as I am new to the forum but I have been reading and researching this for a few months now (probably since the last update) I would like to say this is an awesome write up and very detailed. You have designed a method that makes building a hackintosh very easy. Next I would like to say that i've followed the step by step and read but it seems only one other person encountered the same problem as I did, yet they didn't care as much to follow through with asking questions. So I am running 10.8.5 now sucessfully, but if I remove the bootable usb and try to run soley off the internall ssd I get boot0: GPT boot0: test boot0: test boot0: GPT boot0: test boot0: test boot0: error once I put the usb back in the computer I get the boot menu option with the usb and the ssd as bootables and I always choose the ssd and it loads no problem. Did I miss reading something somewhere where it stated the usb will have to live plugged in the computer at all times to make it run? Or am I doing something else wrong? Secondly, as a mac guy I have a slew of applications (personally owned) that I have tried installing on the optiplex 780 with errors everytime; programs include: ilife 11 ilife 9 toast 11 pro etc again am i missing something whilst installing applications? Is there a work around instead of getting half way through the installation and it failing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Welcome on board ! First, how many drives do you have ? Is Windows is installed and If it is, is it on the same partition or on a separated drive ? What kind of drive do you own ? Sollely SSD or SSD + SATA, or SSD + PATA (IDE) or the three of them ? How did you partition your drive and what kind of partition scheme do you use GPT or MBR ? Depending of your setup, you must choose a different Boot method : BootHFS if you just have OS X or OS X and Windows on the same partition, Bootmd if your OS X is installed on a different drive and Boot0 if you have two version of OS X on the same partition. The partition order may also be important, as it's generally advised to install first Windows on the first partition and after, OS X on another one but I've experienced different methods and it sems that the order of installation doesn't really matters, just take care not to erase the Windows bootmanager (but you should be able to fix this with the Windows install disc. BTW, if you use Chameleon Wizard to install Boot, take care to install it on your OS X partition and not on the USB pen, this could explain why you can boot with your USB pen and not your drive because the Boot is installed on the wrong partition. Hope this helps… Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepto Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello you can also try this Reboot system back into Mountain Lion installer (USB)FLASH DRIVE). Run Disk Utility find the Disk Identifier (eg. disk0s2) Unmount the drive you installed Mountain Lion on. Launch Terminal and execute the following command: dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2 Exit Terminal Boot Normally Hope this helps @JetFoi The option which i mention is for OSX86 installed on a harddrive without windows. I also make use of Original apple applications iLife 11 and Aperture, they are running without errors and i can update them without any problem.

jetfoi Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have one ssd and one sata drive that isn't showing up. Windows is not installed at all on any of the hard drives. I believe when I made the partitiion it was GPT. How do I change the boot method???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Where did you installed OS X ? You should set your OS X disk as first boot device in Bios ans just install BootHfs or Boot0 if you planned to install Windows later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talsid Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 @pepto Ok Successfully install ML 10.8.0 on my optiplex 760 after about 2 days of tries Just one thing though. during the USB preparation I had to put EloittforceRTC.kext in System/library/extensions on my USB drive to make ML boot first time after installation I have BIOS rev a00 on my computer so can you please make this correction? Thanks!! Worked perfectly. I don't have an addon graphics card but I was able to get the desktop to have the right resolution with the onboard. How did you get the right resolution with the onboard?

Oke i will maybe try it but my focus is now on Mavericks 10.9.X For the right resolution you need a Videocard like i wrote in my tut a HD5450 or something else which works with OS X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Maybe you should upgrade your Bios to rev A15 http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=WVH20 You'lll still need a comptabile videocard like AMD Radeon HD 5450 (must be Low Profile if you got a SFF model or even better an unexpensive Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT if you have a Mini Tower model).

BettyBoo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just found out that it is exactly one year ago since my last post here. I used my Optihack 760 rarely and never made the frame buffer / DVD Player to work. Today, I did set it up completely new, from scratch. I went up to 10.8.4 including the Graphic fixes - and finally have a DVD running :-) Pepto - thanks for much for maintaining this !!!!!!!!!

kNewton Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have followed the steps to install 10.8 on a drive that has a shrunken Windows partition and a separate ML partition, as instructed. When I boot from the install usb , the osx installer is showing I cannot install to the ML partition as it has NTFS formatting. Am I to reformat that under Osx in order to install? i placed the boot files into the prepped system bolder as per instructions. thanks anyone.

polyzargone Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It is clearly explained in step 5 of the part 9 in the guide… Just read and you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kNewton Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Seeing step 4 of 9 says " NOTE : when you install it on a partition skip step 5 - 10 see Chapter 4" I have been skipping 5-10 as I am installing it to a partition. This is how I prepped drive: 5 Preparing your SSD or HDD for install on a MBR-partitioned drive If you intent to install OSX86 Mountain Lion On the same Hard disk as your windows follow the steps below. Start>Run (or Windows key on your keyboard plus R). diskmgmt.msc (press enter after typing that) Find your drive, right-click on it, and go to Shrink Volume. Wait for it to calculate the amount of space you can make your partition, and enter in your amount (for an exact GB amount, multiple your desired amount of GB times 1024, so a 20GB partition would be 20480MB). Let it make your partition. It will show up as unallocated space. Format the new unallocated space as NTFS and give it a label (mine was ML). Do I reformat this ML partition to Journaled through diskutility with the installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well I agree this is a confusing one OS X will never ever install on an NTFS partition . Of course, the partition must be formated in Mac OS Extended Journaled ! Skipping this step is totally non-sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polyzargone Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I know this is a very old post. But the link for the Videofix1083.zip Videofix1084.zip is not working. Does anybody have a copy? I need it for the video fix for 10.8.3... I would GREATLY appreciate it You don't really need them since you can do it yourself . Basically, the video fix consists of editing two kexts and the procedure is described in post #1 - Step 16. Update to 10.8.5 (works for all 10.8.x but needs to be done after each one). 16. Update to 10.8.5 If your "Mac OS X Install ESD" contains already the newest ML Version you don't have to update the system and you can skip this step. To check your current version go to "About this Mac". Copy the Kext files AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext and ATI5000Controller.kext from system/library/extension to your desktop. Go to ATI5000Controller.kext and rightclick and choose Show Package Contents and open info.plist with textedit. Find <key>IOPCIMatch</key> and add your string for HD5450( HD5450 1GB the string is 0x68F91002 and for 512MB the string is 0x68E11002) <string>0x68F91002 0x68981002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 </string> Save and Exit Go to AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext and rightclick and choose Show Package Contents and open info.plist with textedit. 11. Find <key>AMDCedarGraphicsAccelerator</key>and then look for the first <key>IOPCIMatch</key> and add your string for HD5450 ( HD5450 1GB the string is 0x68F91002 and for 512MB the string is 0x68E11002) add <string>0x68F91002 0x68E01002</string> Save and Exit Install both kext files with Kext Utility Now reboot with -v. But there's an ever better way that consists to use DSDT.aml from Optiplex 780 (760) El Capitan Clover-v3.zip available in this thread. OS version is different but file works fine regardless the version of OS X AND the bootloader you're using. Assuming it's Chameleon, you'll just need to copy the DSDT.aml in Optiplex 780 (760) El Capitan Clover-v3 > DSDT > AMD Radeon HD 5450 > DSDT.aml in your Extra folder. Do not rename it ! That way, you'll never have to deal with kext editing, never have to worry about System Updates/Upgrades and it will also enable sleep and some others goodies . Once DSDT.aml is installed, just reboot and enjoy . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocajoe Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks polyzargone! I know that El Capitan install pretty well as you guided me to get it working perfectly on my 780... thanks again for that! Question: If I add the DSDT how about the files that were installed (below)? Do I keep them or remove some? AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext AppelIntelE1000e.kext ATI5000Injector.kext EFIStudio-1.1.app EliottForceLegacyRTC.kext FakeSMC.kext Kext Utility.app NullCPUPowerManagement.kext VoodooHDA.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
