Hey :-)

 

i was running the GA P35 DS4 just fine with 3GHz, Stock-Voltage. But now, from one restart to another, i can define the necessary values in Bios, but it won't overclock. When i get into the bios again, the values are o.k., just the overclocking has no effect anymore.

 

Any clues, what this can cause? I even switched back from F12 to F8 Bios, no chance. Overclocking is poof :P .

 

Greetings,

Hello. I was able to update my 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 and I installed all additional updates except for the Graphic-Update Pack. I am using EFI 8 but for my graphic card (GF 8800 GTS 320MB G80-Chip) I installed macdotnubs NVInject Installer 1.3.

So can I install the graphic update safely or will I have to get my graphic card to run somehow using these GFX strings that come with EFI?

Would be really great if someone could help me with this.

Hi Guys, Im having problem with my Sata DVD Writer falling off the bus if I leave a disk in. I have tried Sony/NEC drives and Pioneer, the SATA is installed to the 3rd Sata port, 2 HDD's are also installed, which port should I install to? And what kext needs installing?

 

I'm having the same problems but no one has come up with a fix as of yet :wink2:

if you enter unstable settings into the bios and it fails to boot or has boot problems the bios automatically reverts to default settings
the PC ran for months now with the settings i did. all was well, and i changed nothing. then today i switched it off and when i started again, the settings were saved bit the pc just won't overclock anymore.
I'm having the same problems but no one has come up with a fix as of yet ;)
I have a LG SATA Burner and i put it not into one of the four yellow ports, but in one of the two upper ports (not the pink GSATA ports), on slot #0. It runs just fine without problems and i have 5 other HDs on the remaining ports.

HY LS8,

 

Your guide have worked for me. I have an Abit IP35-E, wich has almost the same specifications than your Gigabyte. Your MOBO is particularly very usual here in Brazil, but I've read your post too late. The IP35-E is very nice, with good overclock options, I'm in love with it.

 

Everything goes almost good. I needed to install the Marvell driver from the Kalyway disc (what a suberb work). The sound worked with in-out after installing new kexts. The GForce 8500 GT worked with no need to install new drivers.

 

The only thing that I can't understand is that my second hard drive is not appearing in the system. I have 3 sata devices, two hard drives and one DVDRW. The DVD and one HDD is working but the third is missing. I don't know what kext to load, or what to do. In the Kalyway install the 3 devices are working.

 

Could you help me?

 

Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 3.02 (overclocked :) )

ABIT IP35-E

2GB RAM

GForce 8500GT

2x 160Gb HDD

Samsung DVDRW (sata)

Ok, i found it out myself.

 

If you have the same problem like i had, that from one shutdown to the other the overclocking is gone and you set the necessary values to overclock, and they're written into the Bios, and the overclocking just won't stick, try to reset the CMOS on the mainboard. For the GA P35 DS4 its on Page 35 of the manual.

 

In short: short the two pins of where it says "clr_CMOS" with a jumper cap (like the one hard drives have). The manual said, it works with by touching the two pins with a screwdriver, but that didn't work out for me. If you use a jumper cap, make sure, that you remove it again, before you close the PC and turn it on again! you can destroy your rig, by leaving it on the pins and turn the machine on!

 

I'm back at 3GHz running at stock voltage. :thumbsup_anim:

I confirm this using BIOS F12

I need a tip.

 

I have my NVidia Card 8800GT 512 MB running with an EFI-String. I've seen, that there are EFI-Strings around for NVidia 8800GT, Audio and Time-Machine-Fix, but those strings support only less than 512MB Videoram.

 

Can someone explain to me - preferable easy - how to build an EFI-String, that includes Audio and Time-Machine-Fix and my NVidia 8800GT with 512MB (!) video-ram?

 

Thanks!!! :whistle:

ok, first of all, thank you. This didn't work.

 

I tried it by copying the parts for audio into a working plist and converted it to a hex string. Graphic is working, and Time Machine too. Only Audio not, system says "no output devices". By now i tried it your way, and by copying the parts from a plist that ls8 provided.

 

I assumed, that i can use original/vanilla AppleHDA.kext and can delete ALCinject.kext? Or is it still necessary to use the patched AppleHDA.kext? I thought, with a EFI-string i would not need patched kexts.

 

Update: I decided to apply your EFI-Fix for Audio, and the patch for AppleHDA.kext. Removed ALCinject.kext. All is working fine :-)

I have a strange problem.

 

I can't access forum.insanelymac.com anymore, only if i put in a proxy-setting into firefox.

 

First I thought, its a problem of recently installed software, so i booted from an untouched system i installed several weeks ago for backup purposes. Nothing, no chance. I tried from a g4 on the LAN, nothing. And I finally installed a fresh system. This didn't work neither.

 

I can only access forum.insanelymac.com through a proxy. All other websurfing works without proxy. Only this site seems to be blocked. I can't even do a trace. :)

 

What is happening here? Any explanation for this?

 

Any explanation or advice would be great.

 

Professor© :)

 

 

Update: Seemed to be a DNS Problem of my provider... or something like this. I changed to provider independent dns 194.25.2.129, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

Yes you need patched HDA

Quick question, does anyone know what Nvidia card is a silent one and still work good with osx?

 

 

I have a XFX Gforce 8500GT, working great with QE and CI enabled, with that guide, it worked with no changes.

ls8?

I see you're already posting in this thread that actually relates to your question: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78862

Why would you think people on this thread are in a good position to answer your question, or that ls8 has much interest in updating a general guide for a motherboard for your specific requirements?! Especially seeing it doesn't seem to work properly and causes kernel panics if you have over 3GB of RAM!

 

Actually relating to this mobo :( , I've been using the vanilla kernel since I updated to 10.5.2, and I've noticed I can get my hack to reliably shut down and restart properly (ie without having to push the reset or power button) if, after selecting Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu, I immediately press return to accept the action, before disk access stops. Anyone else able to replicate this?

Doesn't work for me.

Seems to be working great so far :D

 

Thanks for the heads up Professor

 

 

ALSO, not sure if I read it here or on another thread but someone suggested hitting return as soon as you select shutdown to cure the intermittent shutdown problems, I know people have been having varying results with this but its works all 3 times I have tried it so far.

I suggested it in this thread, but then it hasn't been working reliably for me. It seems to work better after it's been running for a while, and I've opened lots of applications and done some work. Maybe it's a memory usage issue. Are there other threads discussing this?

Hello

 

In the V7 the ionetworking family file have no extention, that's right ?

(it's not ionetworkingfamily.kext ?

 

Best regards

(a french user ;) )

 

oh,an other question please:

With kalyway install dvd (10.4.2 + pcEFI V8) it's possible to turn the computer in sleep mode or only with official DVD ?

what is patched in the kext is not the kext, but a file in ionetworkingfamily.kext

 

you can turn the official DVD only into reboot/sleep/shutdown by installing the patched kernel of netkas. The downside is you get problems with USB, because the kernel of 10.5.2 is newer than the patched kernel of netkas. USB and Kernel are synchronzied. with an older kernel than your system version, you loose the ability to mount usb drives live.

First of all, please make sure that the JMicron controller is set to AHCI. Second, please double-check that you actually enabled the copying of the patched JMicron kernel extension in post-patch.sh, it is disabled by default. If not, you can copy it afterwards from the system you used to install Leopard and then start in verbose safe mode (-x -v) once to force reloading of all extensions.

 

I reinstalled everything following the instructions on post #1.

 

But I am still unable to boot from the new GUID Leopard disk.

 

[...]

 

Any idea?
