Kynyo Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So I'm going to take a break for a few days on this. Couldn't get any ALC898 injectors or DSDT working - very likely it's something I'm doing wrong, probably due to my lack of experience with RevoBoot...I'm not even sure if my DSDT tweaks were loaded. I do have some good news though! I dug up an old version of VoodooHDA from my old build and it works pretty well, no quality / noise issues so far. Night and day compared to the latest 2.8.4 build which had all sorts of noise and static. I'm using S/PDIF though so I can't vouch for analog outputs. I've attached it in case anyone wants to try it. Make sure to move AppleHDA in /S/L/E somewhere safe before using it - you can't run both at the same time with this board. Open your dsdt in a DSDT editor and look @ pin config. Mine was little modified till i change a little pin strings, then with a patched AppleHDA should work! I've inspired from another similar motherboard and i've got the combination.

gaspimp Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've been having two annoying issues which I managed to fix today. 1) SATA3 6gb/s SSDs are stuck at SATA2 3gb/s speeds in both OS X and Windows even after replacing cables. 2) Strange 5-10 second delay when booting OS X (after BIOS but before boot loader comes up). Both issues have been fully resolved by flashing the latest beta bios found here (in my case, GA-Z87X-UD3H F6G): http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/28441-gigabyte-latest-beta-bios.html As always, there are risks with flashing BIOS and a beta bios might break other things, but so far so good for me.

necrophagous Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 ^ does QE/CI works in your setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspimp Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 ^ does QE/CI works in your setup? Yes...as far as I can tell. Looks like they got rid of the Dashboard ripple effect in 10.9 but Safari Top Sites and screensavers work perfectly which I believe means QE/CI is working.

c0ercion Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I got everything up and running with revoboot. My only apparent issues right now are lack of recognition of the i217 ethernet controller on my z87mx-d3h and my gtx780 shows up as nvidia gk11x.

theconnactic Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 and my gtx780 shows up as nvidia gk11x. Cosmetic issue that can easily be fixed by dsdt edits. GK11x is the chipset of your card. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike R. Alpha Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have done some digging, based on the Pike R. Alpha info about Ids, and here is what I came up with (there might be errors...): ... I do not have Haswell, but this might help someone get started... PS: the desktop GT2 (HD4600), does not seem to be supported at the time being, or better said, it appears it's not in Apples short future plans. Can you please add a simple how-to (or a link perhaps?) so that people know what to do to get the data, or is this supposed to be common knowledge already? @c0ercion, Try adding the device-id to AppleIntel82580Ethernet.kext/C*/Info.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have more info about haswell graphic, please share, since what i did is more based on the knowledge I gained poking around the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext and applying it here. PS: but till the final release this table will most likely change when apple will add other PCs on their lineup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike R. Alpha Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The problem is that I cannot locate the table, or the offset is wrong. So how did you get it? Edit: Stupid. I forgot to change the name in Sam's script and thus it was still looking at AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext/Contents/MacOS All ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspimp Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 How did you get your graphics working? It just worked - I didn't do anything. Try adding the device-id to AppleIntel82580Ethernet.kext/C*/Info.plist Tried that...getting the following kernel output, any ideas?

theconnactic Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 It just worked - I didn't do anything] So it's safe to say the Intel HD 4600 works oob under Mavericks, right? Or are you using a discrete card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphans1 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Bus ratio problem here on a Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H. So close to having this working... Any thoughts on the bus ratio / fast timer tick problem? So far it looks like I've got some functional power management (sleep works), USB 3.0, Intel SATA 6gbps/AHCI, and Geforce GTX 670 support. Going to try messing around with audio and network. I have networking using a Marvell 88E8053 1x card but I'm holding out on an updated AppleIntelE1000E.kext for the i217V chipset. From the looks of the ifixit teardown, Apple is using a broadcom 5700 chipset on the new MBA. No luck for a native i217V driver yet. Hello GasPimp, I installed Maverick 10.9 Preview on my Gigabyte Z87-D3HP 1-7 Haswell CPU. But I can't boot to desktop, in verbose mode it hangs/stops at IOBluetoothHCIController:: setConfigState]calling register service. Can you let me know how you set your ups, including BIOS settings? It's on my SSD, I just can't boot up to desktop. Thanks, d-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameris_cyning Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 BIOS settings are set right yet I cannot boot without -x using RevoBoot. Guess I will have to wait for a Chameleon or Clover solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I will have to wait for a Chameleon or Clover solution I am pretty sure that this is related to AppleIntelHD5000Graphics.kext and friends. Had the same problem when I tried to boot with the iGPU only. No longer an issue since my HD 46000 works (full resolution using AAPL,ig-platform-id 0x0c26000). No discrete GPU installed here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFI strings? FFS why didnt I think of that? Probably because of the last time I used them for graphics was back in 2008 We also have the same exact card (the 660)! What is your EFI string?

ameris_cyning Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 LOL I had VT-d enabled XD That was my bad. Graphics are good. Working on getting RevoBoot up with the proper args. I still would like that EFI string, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
