hansblix Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 mmmh...shutdown seems not to work with your v8 pack. I did install the sleep kernel...From your signature I see you encounter the same problem. Already some idea? Great thanks to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Shutdown works for me with netkas 9.2.0 sleep kernel and BIOS v8. What's your BIOS version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellair Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 What about the EP35-DS4 rev 2.1, which bios version is the most stable one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MowgliBook Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 @ hansblix : http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherb...?ProductID=2624 @ Stellair : F2 works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansblix Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thank you very much Mowglibook. The link you sent me is from rev. 2.0 My board is rev 2.1. I'll test if it works. Because I saw that on the homepage of the rev. 2.1 board there is no f8 avalaible, but just as said from the f10 upwards. anyway: @ls8. Great thing man! I now really feel like having a mac. I mean, iAtkos worked very perfect, but I always had this strange feeling about having a slightly modified system :-D anyway: is it safe to make the security update or any updates in general? In this case I stick to the windows saying: dont touch a running system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 The BIOS and drivers are all the same for all revisions of GA-P35-DS4. Any update can be installed, if the update rewrites some file you have patched with my pack, you just need to copy the file from my pack again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MowgliBook Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 @ hansblix : 2.1 cards are slightly differents, and can be upgraded to support DES. more info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansblix Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 ah, thank you very much for the support. Although I realised I {censored}talked. My rev is 2.0 :-D Anyway, installing f8 worked fine as expected. But the improvement didnt show up. Still I cant reboot, shutdown or go into sleep modus. When I installed the fresh system I remember that I installed the netkas sleep kernel. Now I copied it again (with the same codeline like in the post-patch.sh), but nothing changed. mmmh, maybe I have to install the whole system again, in order to make it run with sleep, shutdown functions?

MowgliBook Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You should use F11, not F8. For shutdown issue, follow this link, for Reboot issue, use a modified ACPIplatform kext, like the one included in ls8 package. For sleep I can't help you, every installation I made were 100% working, except with Kalyway. I used to have a P35-DS4 rev2, with BIOS F11, it was fully working. Keep digging, and you'll find the treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gael Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Reading the instructions on the first post it says to use original Apple 10.5.2 DVD - is this necessary or is there a way to use my original 10.5 Leopard DVD and then update to 10.5.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 you can use 10.5.0, then apply 10.5.2 update, then apply post-patch from the pack in first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Grez Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You should use F11, not F8. What differences have you found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 ...For shutdown issue, follow this link... This patch causes kernel panic for me (yes, I have CHUD installed). I can live without shutdown, sleep works perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansblix Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Ah, now shutdown and restart work perfectly...maybe I dont know if they work alway, just the last few times...but anyway. I still have f8 installed, maybe I had to restart the machine to reload the kext or somethin like that in order to make it work. @ls8 Yeah I would live without shutdown too, but my sleep doesnt work :-D Its funny because the other too work fine. But I begin to like my system. The last few systems I didnt know if delete the windows part and make it all mac...but now I already did the step and work totally on leopard and parallels. My last big jump will be make my dv cam active in parallels, so I can edit with avid through parallels an capture with the normal firewire port. This is the only reason why i keep some windows files....As an jr. editor I use final cut but cant live without avid...which I cant effort for mac too.Well the second reason is, because I cant unrar some porn .rar files which have an ultra long password ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I wish my sleep worked perfectly, then I wouldn't care about shutdown. I have found that I can shutdown perfectly if I use the CPU tool in the Developer tools to disable 3 cores first. No combination of BIOS version and kernel is working 100% for me at the moment.

hansblix Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 strangely also my usb drives such as ipod and other usb players dont recocgise by the system! EDIT: THE most strangest thing is, that I can see the devices under parallels...but nor under mac os x, also not in the hdd utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticus C* Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 i dont know if it is mentioned but I think sleep doesnt work on system due to having jmicron enabled... i was having the issue as well, i disable jmicron, sleep works fine (1.5-2sec wake up time amazing) however if i enable jmicron, it stops working.... also efi v8 is one of the key elements as well as seep kernel...

hansblix Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 thats possible...because I use jmicron..cause my main drive is ide... but anyway, this problem with the usb is strange. i read it hear in the forum and other people seem to have it too.strangely they mount if i have them plugged (the usb drives) when startup...

Mysticus C* Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 the problem is not strange, it happens if system.kext version and kernel version differs... say 9.2.0 kernel and 9.2.2 system.kext which is the case for most of the kalyway installs or any others who used timemachine update which introduced new kernel and system.kext I have a usb mount fix, which i made for this topic http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789 check it if you are interested to read... it is just a simple installer to replace system.kext and kernel or both at the same time, depending on your choices... here is the preview from the installer DOWNLOAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. I used to enable this as I needed it, but as I have 4Gb RAM I decided instead to get a IDE->SATA adapter and removed the jmicron.kext. I remember no more crashes after that. the problem is not strange, it happens if system.kext version and kernel version differs... say 9.2.0 kernel and 9.2.2 system.kext which is the case for most of the kalyway installs or any others who used timemachine update which introduced new kernel and system.kext I am running vanilla 9.2.2 kernel and system.kext. Both sleep and shutdown dont work. I will have to go back to a 9.2.0 TOH then just to get sleep to work :-( I have a usb mount fix, which i made for this topichttp://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789 I never had any problems with my USB. Both external USB drives AND my iphone work as expected. But then I didn't install Kalyway on my main machine, just retail. Thanks for the App though, I will use it to make trying the different combinations a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 ...I cant unrar some porn .rar files which have an ultra long password... http://www.unrarx.com works fine for me.I wish my sleep worked perfectly, then I wouldn't care about shutdown. I have found that I can shutdown perfectly if I use the CPU tool in the Developer tools to disable 3 cores first.No combination of BIOS version and kernel is working 100% for me at the moment.Sleep is 100% working for me, I have built three OSX machines with GA-P35-DS4 (one rev.1.0, one rev.1.1, one rev.2.0), sleep worked perfectly on all of them with BIOS F8 and vanilla kernel. All machines used nvidia cards (7600gt 256mb or 8600gt 256mb) with nvinject.strangely also my usb drives such as ipod and other usb players dont recocgise by the system!...Strange. I had this problem in the past with Tiger, but never had any problem with USB on Leopard. My USB disk, flash sticks and iPod classic 80GB work fine. USB disk works with transfer rate around 30MB/s.i dont know if it is mentioned but I think sleep doesnt work on system due to having jmicron enabled... i was having the issue as well, i disable jmicron, sleep works fine (1.5-2sec wake up time amazing) however if i enable jmicron, it stops working....Maybe! I don't use jmicron driver, all my drives are SATA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellair Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 @LS8; So I can admit that your config on a DS4 rev 2.0 works with 9.2.2 vanilla kernel with bios version F8 and LS8 v8 for shutdown/restart/sleep ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Restart and sleep only. Shutdown doesn't work with vanilla kernel, see my sig. All restart, sleep and shutdown worked for me with netkas 9.2.0 sleep kernel (included in ls8v8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticus C* Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 jmicron + 4gb is a no go for any hackintosh at the moment, as the driver doesnt support 64 bit and causes crashes... sleep doesnt work with jmicron as i can confirm, tried with jmicron on and sleep doesnt work (it sleeps but doesnt wake up) when it is off, sleep works fine (sleeps and wakes up in 1.5-2 sec) also, USB NOT MOUNTING ...if you stick the any usb storage device after boot, it will be shown in sys profiler, but wont mount... if you stick the usb devices before starting the osx, it will mount fine... THIS IS 100% CAUSED BY SYSTEM.KEXT VERSION MISMATHED BY KERNEL VERSION @coda and others: whoever claims that they never had any issue with usb not mounting, they didnt have it because most likely they used the correct versions... if you dont believe me?, try to replace system.kext version say 9.2.0 and add 9.2.2 kernel, or 9.2.2 system.kext and 9.2.0 kernel (9.2.2 system.kext and 9.2.0 kernel is usualy the case) and after the change, restart... once in osx try to stick a usb storage device and see it with your own eyes... i tested it million times and made the installer, and tested by many others, and it is confirmed the reasoning of the problem, and solved with correcting teh mismatched versions.... @ls8: you said you had it in tiger but not anymore in leo, because if you remember in tiger they always asked to keep kernel system.kext and some others when you update... this ensures same version, most likely in one attempt you didnt pay attention to one of them, and it caused the issue.... in leopard, the reason why you dont have this issue is because you are using latest vanilla with latest system.kext... (check it if you dont believe? terminal: uname -a will show kernel version, and check info.plist of your system.kext to see version) and like i said, change the kernel or system.kext version and see what happens...
