fnordsensei Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm redoing the installation in an effort to get my 7950 to work. I'm on a pretty old GA-X48-DS5 / Core 2 Duo system. I decided to include a custom DSDT (which I'd forgotten last time around when I got the installation to "just work"). The DSDT is basically just an "extract DSDT" + the proper motherboard patch from here: http://olarila.com/forum/packs.php + the ALC889A patch from here: http://olarila.com/forum/patches.php. I put the DSDT in the directory popped up by Pandora. Now when I boot, I get a KP when booting into the installer (http://cl.ly/OoW5): Also, I noticed that Pandora has put my DSDT in two places (http://cl.ly/OoBC): I don't know if this is intentional or not. I'm not sure what to make of the ACPI error, so any help at all would be extremely welcome. The forum posts I've read have hinted that it could be RAID related, but I'm not using RAID so that can't very well be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sorry guys, Pandora Beta 2 will be released soon with a lot of changes and bug fixes. Pandora will also work on Snow Leopard, thanks to the new App with graphical interface, completely rebuilt by Marchrius. I think that within a few days, so test Beta 1 is considered to be finished!

Deridjian Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Will there be support for high resolutions like 2560x1440 soon? It is getting more and more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow, like a Retina! Now I say to colleagues if resolution is supported at boot (only needed for that)...

The extract dsdt is like that inside your bios, it makes no sense to use it.The bootloader already read the bios it not find DSDT in the Extra folder. Needless definitely Micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lausannes Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 This looks really awesome! Just a question before I do anything, will the RecoveryHD that I make work to restore OS X if something fails like on a real mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 We have changed the method to create the Recovery HD partition in Pandora Beta2. However, the aim is not to restore your Hackintosh, but to expand the Apple services, such as iCloud, to use its full potential. This does not happen if it is not present on your disk, the Recovery HD partition (650 mb and Hidden). I know I say this as a bit of time that Pandora Beta 2 is ready, but now it really is: I hope that these days bait for everyone. We are placing some translations in various languages, but is really ready. I'm sorry, but this work is done in our free time, and we are few people to do it. Stay tuned Micky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaloDon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Found an issue with the 10.8.4 installer downloaded from the App store. 10.8.3 installer works fine with Pandora but when I downloaded the 10.8.4 installer and tried to make a bootable USB or DVD it stops at this point: Copying OSInstall.mpkg to be patched cp: /Applications/Pandora.app/Contents/Resources/Base/MBR_DISTRIBUTION/1084/Distribution: No such file or directory From this point on Pandora no longer works. I had to trash it and redownload it. I went back to the 10.8.3 installer and it works again. Not a big deal for me as I can just update to 10.8.4 after install but I thought you might like to know. Thanks for the great tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Pandora Beta1 has not the MBR patch for 10.8.4. I hope, however, that within two / three days comes the new version, where everything is ok! This is the log, done by Pandora Beta 2 during 10.8.4 installation: Pandora Installer 06-09-13_1129.html.zip Micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
