Erño Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yaya!!! Allmost everything working out-of-the-box! Only sound is missing, but that shouldn't be a big problem. Thanks again macita! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erño Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I've bumped into some problems with NVidia kexts (or at least that's what I think the problem is) I have downloaded the boot CD which is mentioned first in macita's post. Everything installs fine with the OSX Leo retail disc, NVidia GeForce 7300 GT working with CI/QE (not getting the right device name tho, but the only things that matter are CI/QE). built in LAN works out of the box, WLAN works with Realtek drivers. Pretty much everything is good after the install. Then I install the chameleon thing for getting rid of the boot CD and the audio package for sound. Everything is great so far. Only thing not working is sleep (screen stays black after wake up) When I install OSX updates I lose the QE/CI from 7300 GT and that pisses me off. I've tried every Titan,Natit and what not, but it just doesn't work. Now I have a pretty stable 10.5.0 retail install but I don't want to fück it up, so I will not install any updates until it's safe to do so. This is the 3rd attempt and I don't want to go for the 4th Help me out please. Only those final little touches needed to make this perfect.

juiceyj317 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 So I tried using Macita's *excellent* instructions and files for my p5w build and can't find a way around this error. AppleHDAController;; start ERROR no layout-id found AppleHDA.kext failed to load. unable to locate "layout-id" property A lot of people seem to have this issue in a few different forums, with different builds. Only solution I saw posted was that it was the JMicron kext that wasn't there/working (for a gigabyte mobo), but this isn't an issue with Macita's bootloader. I've tried the original dfe-132, bumby's updated (146), I built my own iso with the updated boot file with jmicron support (fun, but didn't help). I have booted in -v -f -s and -x (wind up hanging within a few lines of the same place). I flashed my bios to ver. 2704 to match Macita's. Double checked the BIOS settings as per Macita's instructions, tried the BIOS settings from Lifehacker's original Hackintosh post, and tweaked the BIOS in a few different ways on my own. Since all the bootloaders seem to have the same issue I have the feeling I am missing something external to the bootloader. Only other pertinent bits of information are I can get to the installer page (but no language choices menu pops up - just the pinwheel of death) in Bumby's build (dfe-146) - and no error log to give clues as to why (since it is out of verbose mode by then). Also interesting is that using the cd's from my MacBook (which I know won't work) I can get all the way to the install screen before it tells me I 'can't install Os X on this computer'. The restore dvd's are NOT dual layered, and are 10.5.2. Retail DVD is Dual Layered 10.5.0 Unless my dvd suddenly forgot how to read DL DVD's or 10.5 is a problem over 10.5.2 I am at a loss Build is as follows: ASUS P5W DH Deluxe intel core 2 duo 2.66 E6700 4 gb ddr2 EVGA Geforce 8600gt 256mb WD Velociraptor 300gb sony dvd-rom (ide) ddu1612 dl dvd rw (sata) 500w ps in a Coolermax case I am about to try the INSTAHackintosh method in desperation (as it updates/patches/builds iso from scratch not after install), but I can't imagine it will make a difference as the AppleHDAController kext is one I will have to include, it will still run a bootloader, and it will most likely run into the same issue. I had a working kalyway 10.5.1 with efi for about a year, but couldn't load my new adobe CS3, so I have been trying to install a vanilla with a newer method. I am sure that others as well as myself would appreciate a hand with this if anyone has a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppa206 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 So, since this motherboard is officially discontinued, what is the best alternative? Just curious for future builds I might attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceyj317 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Alright, I opened Macita's mkext and none of the bootloaders I have used had an applehdacontroller.kext so the one hanging my install must be off the retail dvd. I am thinking that using a patched hdacontroller kext in the botloader might fix this? I found cyclone's legacy lists here which look pretty good - if you insert your device/vendor id. (self-attaches to new kexts in apple updates). Gonna try making a new bootloader with these and/or using them in an INSTAHackintosh disk build.

Yeah good question, i think Gigabyte, and all the mobos who are on HCL on efi-x.com Did u see the new MSI ram lover? you can put on it also 32 GB of DDr2 RAM!!!!! Sincerely i will use my asus p5w dh till i will or switch to real mac-pro or switching to some good efi-x motherboard compatible, im tired to look every day at news for make my hackintosh working like a real mac... i spent lot of time for do it.... One point is...for what i use my hackintosh? hobby? safe Internet?? ok go for hackintosh.... but for me that iv switched to semi pro audio is time to buy a real mac....or try efi-x instead without having to think and look at news....

KBits Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi everyone, I have the P5W DH for quite some time now, running Kalyway 10.5.1 smoothly for months. However I feel it is now time to reinstall everything fresh and possibly update up to 10.5.5. What method would be the best to do so (best as clean install)? I read about a lot of different ways (through this thread and elsewhere), and I'm a bit lost about it. Whats your thoughts about this? Thxs a lot. PS. I tried the Kalyway 10.5.2, but it crashes when the it gets to the installation interface ("Installing Mac OS X could not be completed" message) and then goes in CPU halted and shut down. I double checked my BIOS and now investigate if the DVD is good, but also look for alternative, possibly a Retail method (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesR Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I personally used the iAtkos 4i build (10.5.4) without any problems - then upgraded to 10.5.5 (following the steps I linked to somewhere in this thread )...but I'm sure there are other (probably better) ways to do it. I'm interested in this as well, so will be interesting to read the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIBRONGIB Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 hi all i,ve install 10.5.4 retail dvd and upgraded to 10.5.5 using this link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76404 and everything working great sweeeeeeeeet irie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBits Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ok it was a bad image apparently (reminder to me: always check the md5, and DO NOT mount the ISO, just burn it!). So I install Kalyway 10.5.2 very easily, then upgrade to 10.5.3 following this... http://cocoatree.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/...y-1051-to-1054/ and then downloaded the 10.5.4 and installed it (not via Software Update). Had to fix couple of things through the process though (sound, system profiler broken). Not too bad. GIBRONGIB : I will now try your way. Did you use Chameleon or EFIv8 in your installation? MilesR : Thxs I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIBRONGIB Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i use Chameleon here is all the kext im using http://forum.insanelymac.com/style_images/...e_types/zip.gif Archive_2.zip Archive.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Not sure if this has been asked and answered, but what is the best Core 2 Quad chip to use with this board? I currently use an Intel Xeon 3085 Conroe 3.0GHz 4MB L2 Cache which has been rock solid. But on my next build (I already have a second hand P5W DH Deluxe motherboard) I want to use a Quad core chip.

him88002 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hello I have installed kalyway 10.5.2 and everything is working except my firewire port. The port is working when booted in windows. Has anyone gotten it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean350 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Help me Insanely Mac'ers! I really appreciate any help you can give me. I have an ASUS p5w dh deluxe Intel Quad q6600 4 gigs Ballistix 800mhz ram Diamond Ati radeon 2600xt 512 500 gb SATA HD Sony SATA DVD I've tried Kalyway 10.5.2 / boot 132 generic iso / several boot 132 iso from Macita with 10.5.4 retail. Kalyway doesn't do anything when I try to boot off the DVD. With the boot 132, I start the computer, insert the cd, and press enter when the boot prompt shows up. I then insert the retail DVD. I get "Ebios read error: controller or device error block 16432736 sectors 64" repeated 5 times. It then says "Errors encountered while starting up computer" It then goes to the gray Apple startup screen with the scrolling thing. After about 5 minutes, the screen goes to a bunch of pixelated distortion, and the computer freezes. All of the searching I've done describes errors after install, but EVERYONE seems to be able to get it to install initially. I can't even get that far! Its driving me crazy. I'm a total and complete noob to this kind of thing. I'm a lifelong Mac user, and don't even own a PC (except the one I've built for this Hackintosh). I consider myself a really smart guy, but I read all these posts about adding kexts to DVDs and its all over my head. I know you all don't know me, and you don't owe me anything, but I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks! -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
