10.5.6

 

I have applied the mentioned file from the 10.5.6 pack: zip.gif 10.5.6_kexts_pack.zip ( 1.11MB ) Number of downloads: 31

sudo mkdir /Volumes/LEOPARD/vanilla2
sudo cp -r /Volumes/LEOPARD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext /Volumes/LEOPARD/vanilla2/
sudo cp -r AppleHDA.kext /Volumes/LEOPARD/System/Library/Extensions/
sudo diskutil repairpermissions /Volumes/LEOPARD/

 

Reboot...

 

Applied EFI strings with EFIStudio.

 

Reboot again...

 

It doesnt work. No mic in, no multichannel out.

What is wrong? Attached kextstat, linux codec dump and screenshots.

Can I provide more information for better support?

Audio_MIDI_Setup.tiff

kextstat.txt

System_Profiler.tiff

proc_asound_card0_codec_2.txt

@karaakeha1

Can you explaine me? I have a GA-P35-DS3. So far no Probs with that Board and the origianl Vanilla Kernels!

With my GA-EP45-DS3 the retail 9.5.0 Kernel will not do it. Cannot Boot with that KErnel, When I switch back to an ideneb Kernel 9.4.0 everything works fine.

How do you think the Vanilla Kernel might work with the EP-45 Board? Any Suggestions?

After failed attempt with latest Chameleon .12 version with the RAID that I had before...I cloned from my existing single 10.5.5, installed the .11 version of Chameleon to the RAID ("Boot OS X"), changed the com.Boot.apple.plist with the RAID ID as per the guide (I had the RAID worked before the 10.5.6 update as said)...

 

With the new instructions here for 10.5.6 I used Pacifist and install 10.5.6 on the RAID, ran 10.5.5 patch, then replaced with the "Latest 10.5.6 kext"...

 

Rebooted with the RAID, now it complains that "AHCI port is not in the same super class...." and got "Waiting for root device"....

 

23 Dec.

 

Actually it complains about "com.apple.iokit.IOAHCIBlockStorage"

 

Still the same problem with the latest 10.5.6 kexts pack...help !!!!

if you have DSDT using the patch, copy the dsdt.aml for root BOOT OSX (rdisk? s3), making it works normal, and loads the dsdt opens normally, not that I was tested, was one of the forum here that said that

Too right...

 

I did a complete re-install, then 10.5.6 kexts. After that tried the command line "diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/RAID" It complains about IOAHCI, tried again once more the command "diskutil..." ..that did NOT fix the problem...

 

Finally, I tried to boot from the iATKOS DVD and tried the dislutil from there. And that finally fixed the problem....

 

Have to say, there are a lot of inputs here that are helpful...

 

Thanks and HAPPY XMAS....

Hey guys,

I made me a little x-mas gift an ordered yesterday:

8x Super Talent 32GB SSDs (approx. 150MB/s read, 100 MB/s write) 76,- EUR each

1x Highpoint 3520 SATA Raid Controler for OS X 445,- EUR

2x FANTEC MR-SA1042-1 Backplane for the 8 SSDs 68,- EUR each

 

Together: 1200,- EUR

 

What I like to test:

1st - Highpoint 3520 Raid Controller under OSX86!

2nd - Speed of 8 SSDs in a Raid-5 Array on the Highpoint 3520 Raid Controller

 

The Highpoint Contoller should be able to max out the speed and performance even of cheap MLC SSDisks,

cause of his 256MB Cache.

I would be very happy to achieve read-rates from 120-130 MB/s and write-rates round about 60-70 MB/s.

In a Raid-5 this should be something about +-800MB/S read and 420MB/s write.

 

I will give you all the details in setting up the stuff, installing OSX etc. in Details when the hardware arrives.

 

By the way. If i can get that the speed out of the SSDs it think it is worth the price I paid!

And I use this workstation for work not for private purpose!

New full kexts pack 10.5.6 used

works with Chameleon 1.0.1.11 or 1.0.1.12 AKA EFI9

All hard Drive kexts are latest & vanilla just added device ids

no need for patched IOATAFamily.kext anymore in my case So i used vanilla

 

It's now working OK, thank you. First try, on restart it hung on the light grey Apple screen, with a small "stop sign" (slashed O) on top of the Apple Icon. After a careful reinstallation, and with -v boot, it stopped with "Still waiting for for root device" message. With my 10.5.5 installation I had the BIOS setting Integrated Peripherals, SATA RAID/AHCI Mode = Disabled. I tried changing that to AHCI and it restarted OK. During OS X setup, I used Transfer information to import my applications and settings from a 10.5.5 backup. The screen eventually froze showing "Transferring Network settings". When HD activity was finished, I powered off, restarted and ran EFI Studio. Everything has been OK since.

 

Audio is working, but System Profiler shows "No builtin audio" and EFI Studio doesn't have anything for HDEF. I don't use Time Machine -- I like SuperDuper better.

 

Anyway, overall everything is working well.

I've had a few issues with 10.5.6

Wake from sleep was fine ga-p35-ds3l

But

Bluetooth wasn't working had to replace 2 kexts from 10.5.5

also energy saver/schedule when I tell the computer to shutdown it now reboots. (Not sure how to fix that yet) quick update seems to be a problem with chameleon v1.0.12 went back to 1.0.11 without dsdt and works fine

 

On a different system after waking from sleep usb mouse goes crazy (haven't fixed but guessing its going to be a case of using usb kexts from 10.5.5)

 

Could you tell what kexts files you had to replace pleaseeeee ? ;)

 

I'm guessing you're talking about IOBluetoothFamily.kext but did you just install it with osx86 utility or did you remove those from 10.5.6 before or something like that ?

Hi keksonja,

I made a progress. I was able to run the voodoo Kernel 9.5.0 setup and it works.

I think my Problem before was not to replace the system.kext witch is needed to run with the kernelversion.

 

But still no luck with Vanilla 9.5.0! If it runs for you can you send me a copy of your kernel and system.kext?

 

Another thing witch was corrupt after 10.5.6 update and may help others with the same problem:

 

I was unable to mount DMG Files and had a panic after trying!

Had to replace the seatbelt.kext from 10.5.5 and then it worked like before!

I was wondering, cause both seatbelt.kext Versions had exactly the same size...

But anyway, if it works now, i'll be happy...

 

Still wann now if there is a way for the Vanilla on my GA EP45-DS3! :)
