Hi everyone - Dune & Kaly, gotta give you guys credit for all the time & effort on this topic.

 

Anyhow, I'm really struggling with this. On about install attempt no. 10 at this point.

 

System is as follows (should be kosher from what I've read):

 

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 w/ BIOS rev. F12

CPU: 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo

1GB RAM

180GB SATA2 HDD

nVidia Quadro FX560 Graphics

 

I have only managed to get to an installed & successfully rebooted 10.5.1 once; and even then the next time I restarted the system hung immediately after BIOS screen, etc. and just stopped at the 'blinking cursor stage'

 

I think I have tried virtually every combination of options at the customisable installation stage. The 'most successful' seems to be HDD formated to MBR with MBR EFI, no vanilla kernel and just nvinject drivers.

 

I have tried everything else and cannot get close to a repeatable, working install. All my BIOS settings are correct as far as I can make out - ie. AHCI on, NX on, etc. I have even tried the 'zero out' erase to make sure my HDD format wasn't corrupted.

 

Bottom line seems to be that I can get through to a successful install but have only once in many, many attempts got the machine to reboot past the 'blinking cursor' stage.

 

Anybody got any further suggestions. All help is really appreciated.

Intel C2D E6300 Conroe (yes its a conroe not a allendale)

Asus p5k (Intel p35/Intel ICH9)

Sapphire Radeon X1950Pro PCI-E

2 x SATA-DVD

1 x IDE - DVD

2 x SATA-HD

20 sata cables

 

i have this panic happen on every install

Set BIOS (Enhanced Mode)

- [Main]Tab > Sata Configuration [iDE or AHCI] => [iDE] , [Disabled or Enhanced or Comparable] => [Enhanced] , Configure SATA as [iDE]

- [Advanced]Tab > J-Micron eSATA/PATA Controller [Enabled or Disabled] => [Disabled]

 

 

(( To MunsterGreen ))

I am not sure, but trying the followings:

o HDD & DVD => Purple Port

o BIOS => Default (Not AHCI)

o Options at the customisable installation stage => Vanilla kernel + Vanilla ACPI fix + Boot efi mbr

Success! Finally i managed to get everything working on a GB GA-965P-DS3 with a ATI X1800 GTO and a Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz. But one last question, is it safe to use the Update? at present there is a quicktime Update 7.3.1 a security Update 2007-007 and a remot deskto Client Update 3.2.1. I already updated itunes to 7.5 and it seems to work. Have not made a restat since then though...

 

Has somebody tried the Updates?

 

And of course World of Warcraft is running perfectly! But i'm missing the alt-tab function of windows to switch between WoW and Safari, someone has a hint for me?

man he says that this happens before the darwin loader so what f8 to press?

this is a common problem the only thing i can suggest for now is to load the darwin with the installation dvd

and press F8

now type : rd=diskXsY

mean X= your drive and Y your partition

do you remember in what drive and partition you intalled?

for example : rd=disk1s1

chachawpi,

 

Does sleep and wake work for you? My system does not wake properly...

Thank you.

 

eclau

 

It certainly appears so. My USB drives give an error that they weren't properly dismounted when returning from sleep though. Not sure if that is normal? I couldn't even get reboot or shutdown to work on iATKOS. Everything worked fine in ToH RC2, however.

well, it appears that on some mobo GMA950 doesn't need to be patched at all, but on others it does. Kaly's mobo does not need.for compatibility reason we integrated the patched version on the dvd(AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer). but you can find the original AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer on the Backup Drawer at the root of your systemDisk. If you have a GMA950 chipset on your mobo, you can try this one, but caution, your system could hang at the reboot if your GMA950 does not support the original kext.ok, did you try to change the location of your pci firewire card ?ok it seems that is is an ICH6 and effectively i did not integrate ICH6 AHCI on the dvd, mea culpa , just did the sata enhanced ide for it. but the fact that the system profiler saw it in unknow would say it is loaded by the generic AHCI driver of the system. So the diskutility should see it . I don't understand why it failed

 

 

Hi Dune31,

 

that was definitely the correct advice. I changed the pci-slot of my firewire-card and the two partitions of my powerbook appear on the desktop, yes Sir!

Many Thanks!!!! I wish you a happy new year!

Hi All!

This sounds like a great release. Is there any way to turn the ACPI in the DVD bootup off? My system hangs right after the EFI is loaded and the SMBIOS and the ACPI. My bios has no option to turn on or off the ACPI feature and after F8 I cant see all the boot options when typing "?" after F8. Is there a list of the boot options somewhere for this release? Also can you turn off EFI as well?

Im trying to install on an SSE2 machine

Thanks!

dune thankz for the reply

i think that for some reason i messed with the extensions and all the crashes caused of AppleSmbios not been there

something else ... shouldn't the cpu recognized as intel quad?

 

no it is seen as "unknow processor", but don't worry it works perfectly

cause it says just macpro ,there is not the other table with supported stuff (SSE2,SSE3 etc etc)

i still blv that this release is the best for this mobo ,i just need to fix the crashes ..i'm gonna install again

and why do you say uncheck sleep? sleep works perfect

another thing is that you don't need to set AHCI for the disks ,it works ok even with IDE

 

of course IDE works, but i recommand you AHCi, because performances are better(NCQ and hot plug capabilities), it is more Mac like( Macs are in AHCI mode).

And i spoke about "DISK sleep" not sleep. Disk sleep locks sometime your sata dvd.

hello,

 

Merry Christmas to everyone!

 

Thanks a lot Kaly for your work, it is awesome (it is the only version that boots on my pc)!

 

But I have a problem: my PS2 keyboard is not working... I have a p5wdh MB, and I have chosen both vanilla options.

I cannot write user/password etc... so until there it works fine! If anyone knows anything, I would be grateful!!!

 

PS the mouse is working ... it is on USB

First off,

 

Happy Holidays to us all. This is a great release and I am rocking 10.5.1 thanks to the Palote's great picture guide on post 474. I do have one question though. In running geekbench it is showing hackintosh, not just Mac.

 

Shouldn't it report as Mac, not hackintosh, if we are running vanilla via guid successfully? Just wondering...?

Dune31, could you perhaps help me with my DP35DP?

 

I have no success at all with install. I have tried both MBR and GUID system.

Not sure what it can be. I must be missing something important, but not sure what.

I really need and appreciate some help on this.

 

:)

yes then i realized that you said disk sleep

this is THE 1st thing i do when i boot in osx after installation

cause i have a lot of sata/ide disks and osx power off them

i think i fixed the crashes (let's hope)

right now a sample with 10 effects real time loops in soundtrack pro

a video with a lot of effects in motion

and some videos in final cut timeline

i'll open more apps ,maybe i burn a dvd also ,sometimes also crashed by this

:)

again thankz for your answers

Is it safe to install Windows XP x64 or vista x86 on the 4th partition (3rd after the EFI partition) on GPT after installing OS X. Will Windows overwrite the Darwin boot loader in the MBR boot sector and will it overwrite the protective entry in the MBR. If it will, how can I restore it (the GUID/EFI bootloader).

Any help is appreciated.
