[How to] Asus P5K-VM guide

BlackCH · January 16, 2009

For those using PCEFI 9 (or any bootloader supporting /Extra folder or munky EFI partition), here is my custom Extensions.mkext. Just drop it onto your /Extra folder (dont forget to move/delete the Extensions folder)

Extensions.mkext.zip

includes:

You wont have to worry about reinstalling kexts after update. The sound kexts give only two outputs on the back, and one on the front pannel, mic in, and digital out. Those are from stickpin, Im still working to make them fully working. You only will need to have AppleSMBIOSEFI on your System/Library/Extensions/ folder.

also I have a modded BIOS 0902 (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK) with a custom bootscreen, and the DMI data edited to match a mac pro 1.1. This is also work in progress. I will patch the DSDT tables and SMBIOS tables soon.

BIOSMod.zip

For now Geekbench recognized it as a MacPro OOTB (w/ vanilla SMBIOS.kext):

But I still need a patched SMBIOS to show the info on the SystemProfiler.

The Bootscreen looks nice. I removed the 'Press DEL etc, etc' message too:

I've been using this BIOS for two months without problems.

@bikinifarm

Ok, another new install

iATKOS 5i with main system 10.5.5 (no update yet)

PC EFI V9

Apple Decrypt

SMBIOS-EFI

IntelAHCI

I don't have ALCInject but I remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

I take your two kexts and append in my /Extra/Extensions.mkext. Now this /Extra/Extensions.mkext have:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Jan 20:57 AppleAHCIPort.kext
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Jan 20:57 AppleDecrypt.kext

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 18 Dec 12:56 AppleYukon2.kext

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Jan 20:57 IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Jan 20:57 IOAHCIFamily.kext

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Jan 20:57 IOAHCISerialATAPI.kext

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 18 Dec 12:56 IONetworkingFamily.kext

+ your kexts

Before build the Extensions.mkext with MKextTool, i make a chmod -R 755 and chown -R root:wheel on my kexts.

I build the /Extra/Extensions.mkext

reboot

and no sound. system.log give me that...

Jan 16 21:46:03 localhost kextd[19]: loaded version 1.2.9a4 of module com.apple.iokit.IOHDAFamily differs from requested version 1.5.7a24

I managed to have the sound with this http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=129058, but only in 10.5.5

mala-zaba;

My installation is kalyway 10.5.2 upgraded to 10.5.6. So, I am not sure about all the extensions that are installed by iATKOS. I am also not using the /Extra folder. Everything I have sits in the /System/Extensions/. It should not make any difference in theory, but may change extensions load order. Audio works in 10.5.6 for me with no issues. Best of luck.

dudu_qc · January 17, 2009

After a long night of work, I managed to make the sound and the network on Leopard 10.5.6 (iATKOS)

Here's how:

Install iATKOS with only:

main system
PC EFI V9

Apple Decrypt

SMBIOS-EFI

IntelAHCI

I used the dsdt.aml of DB1.

I made my own Extensions.mkext which contains:

AppleAHCIPort.kext
AppleDecrypt.kext

AppleYukon2.kext

HDAEnabler.kext

IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext

IOAHCIFamily.kext

IOAHCISerialATAPI.kext

IONetworkingFamily.kext

LegacyHDAController.kext

LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext

For the sound on 10.5.6, I used the kexts of macgirl here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...9058&st=134

Voilà!

Thank for your help,

Eric

Lucas86 · January 17, 2009

Wooow, great work!!!

Can you please describe me in few steps how to update my 10.5.5 iATKOS to 10.5.6, what to install and how after software update by software updater. I have 8600 GT, with nvinject 0.2.1.

Thank you for your help and your time

dudu_qc · January 17, 2009

@ Lucas86

In my bios, I use AHCI only. I have 1 SATA HD and 1 DVD SATA. I disable Jmicron, floppy, paralel & serial port and integrated video card.

I don't use nvinject with my video card, but a specific gfx string for my XFX 8500GT 256Mb.

When you install iATKOS, choose only

main system
PC EFI V9

Apple Decrypt

SMBIOS-EFI

IntelAHCI

I replace the original dsdt.aml with one in P5KVMdsdtfixed_enet_hdef.zip from DB1 Post #253

remove /Extra/Extension

remove /Extra/Extensions.mkext

copy my Extensions.mkext in /Extra/

chown root:wheel /Extra/Extensions.mkext

chmod 644 /Extra/Extensions.mkext

reboot and cross your finger!

* My Extensions.mkext don't have support for Jmicron and Intel IDE. If you need this support, selet them in iATKOS installation and before you remove /Extra/Extension :

Use MKextTool to extract my Extensions.mkext in a directory on your desktop.

Copy the original Jmicron and Intel IDE from /Extra/Extension

chmod -R 755 Desktop/directory

chown -R root:wheel Desktop/directory

recrate /Extra/Extensions.mkext with MKextTool

and you have your modified Extensions.mkext

Lucas86 · January 17, 2009

Thank you so much!!!!! I will try to install it with EFI string for my card and I will see...

If any problem I see, I will contact you

dudu_qc · January 18, 2009

Hello everyone,

I just noticed that Samba does not work. Unable from XP to see a smb share in Network Neighborhood. I noticed that I have CFGetHostUUIDString error: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35. Do you have that?

I have the fix of "bult-in" to true in a string...

Any idea?

Lucas86 · January 18, 2009

In Windows XP or Vista you need to select users which are able to see the shared folder, may be this could help... I had Kalyway 10.5.4 and samba was not so stable, but it worked...

dudu_qc · January 18, 2009

On iDeneb, samba is OK and I can share file on the two computers. Now, iATKOS 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 don't work...

Lucas86 · January 18, 2009

Try this site to solve it: http://sneosx86.freeflux.net/

I haven't installed system Yet to proove it...

post your progress

Lucas86 · January 18, 2009

Solution to your problem

This workaround will help you to remove the "_CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35" error.

1.) BACKUP your /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

2.) Open /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

3.) ADD AFTER <string>Ethernet</string></dict> the following:

<dict>

<key>IOBuiltin</key>

<key>IOInterfaceType</key>

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<key>IOLocation</key>

<key>IOMACAddress</key>

<data>

ABbPoF5V

</data>

<key>IOPathMatch</key>

<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/P0P3@1C,2/IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci14e4,4311@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/IO80211Interface</string>

<key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key>

</dict>

4.) IF you have more than 3 interfaces or there is an "en3" interface change it to "en4" or a higher number, don't forget to change this "<integer>3</integer>" to "<integer>4</integer>".

5.) You need to REBOOT

Why does this error happen?

Well at looking at the source code of the configd there is a plugin "InterfaceNamer" it seams the plugin will always skip interfaces

that are IOBuiltin = false. The "<key>IOBuiltin</key>" cannot be changed because the plugin will check and restore it on next boot.

But it does not check if wireless interfaces <key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key><string>IEEE80211</string> are IOBuiltin.

Like I say this is only a workaround and there will be more need of testing.

You just have to insert a EFI string on to your boor.plist with EFI String Creator app. Or make a custom DSDT trable with the ethernet fix ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=142434 ). That would do

The dsdt.aml of DB1 have Ethernet fix, no? And EFI string, it's the IOBuiltin fix?

Saurman · January 19, 2009

Mala-zaba;

In order to enable the sound;

REMOVE AppleAzaliaAudio and ALCInject (if you have them)

INSTALL the attached HDAEnabler and the AppleHDA 1.4.0a22 (patched for P5K-VM)

iAtkos 5i

E6750, P5K-VM, 8800GTS, 4GB DDR2 800

After installation i had no sound/lan. I used kext Helper, drag n drop this two kexts, installed and rebooted. Have sound again. Thanks

Any ideas how to fix this:

3.) ADD AFTER <string>Ethernet</string></dict> the following:

<dict>

<key>BSD Name</key>

<string>en3</string>

<key>IOBuiltin</key>

<false/>

<key>IOInterfaceType</key>

<integer>6</integer>

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<integer>3</integer>

<key>IOLocation</key>

<string></string>

<key>IOMACAddress</key>

<data>

ABbPoF5V

</data>

<key>IOPathMatch</key>

<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/P0P3@1C,2/IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci14e4,4311@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/IO80211Interface</string>

<key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key>

<string>IEEE80211</string>

</dict>

I have the same problem, but with my Asus P5K Pro (I only have en0, en1 and wf0 so it's my guess that I need to change en3 to en2 and IOInterfaceUnit to 2. Right? Or do I have to change more?

Update: I take it that the corresponding IOPathMatch key should match the ioreg tree, and apparently I only have en0 and fw0 so now what?

I have a problem, after installing iATKOS 5 and starting system with -v system hangs and I see bla,bla,bla user/bin/ocspd... starting

ive installed iatkos 5i without smbios and stuff. I was only selecting sound/lan/video, the rest was by default

Lucas86 · January 19, 2009

And what exactly have you checked?

Saurman · January 19, 2009

And what exactly have you checked?

disabler or removal item, not sure how it was called. Then my video - 8800GTS 320mb. U can ignore audio and lan, it requires post-installation patching. THats all

And MBR ofc for file system

BlackCH · January 19, 2009

The dsdt.aml of DB1 have Ethernet fix, no? And EFI string, it's the IOBuiltin fix?

I belive the dsdt.aml of DB1 has ethernet fix, which actually is the same thing as the EFI string (I prefer DSDT, but EFI sting is very effective too, and easier). Yes, it sets the ethernet as "built-in", "en0".

Althou if still doesnt work after you install the fix (either one or the other) you must reset all your network interfaces. Delete them from the network preference pane, delete the networkInterfaces.plist, and boot once without the yukon driver. Install the driver and boot again. When you open the Network preference pane again your yukon should be re-detected in the proper way.

Master Chief · January 19, 2009

I have a question about this: "Yes, it sets the ethernet as "built-in", "en0". This means that Time Machine won't work without a built-in Ethernet adapter? I'm just asking because mine won't work; System Profiler shows: Ethernet Adapter (en0)

Lucas86 · January 19, 2009

If I have the Gigabyte Geforce 8600 GT 256, what shout I check durin intall??? I check nothing and system hangs I check EFi string and hang, I check graphic update and efi and it goes, but it has artefacts while moving windows...

thats correct. Nor timemachine, file sharing or apps like adobeCS, Maya, etc
