I installed jas 10.4.9 uphuck 1.2.. but I cannot make my ethernet work! I have iofamilynetwork.kext but I cannot find appleyukon.kext.. (I have a gigabyte ds3). what can I do??

very good

mjaleo, the reason your plist looks different from the one you are trying to make it look like is because the text is too wide for the terminal window you are editing in and the editor has appended a $ to indicate that there is more to the line that you can't see. if you make the terminal window wider, you will see the rest of the line and it will probably look just like the one in the example except for red part which was the edit. you can actually just copy that red text right out of this thread and paste it into your plist.

if you have no idea at all what you are doing with these plist edits, i wrote a post on a related topic HERE that talks about it a little.

btw, as i mentioned in your other thread, i abandoned the GA-965P-DS3 for an asus P5B Deluxe. so far, i think i am liking the asus board better. i still had to jump through hoops to get the disks working, but they are now and overall the system seems more stable.

Run terminal

Enter "sudo -s" (without quotes)

Enter your password when asked.

Enter "cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents" (without quotes)

Enter "nano Info.plist" (without quotes - nano is the terminal based text editor, aka pico)

Search (Ctrl+w) for "IOPCI" (without quotes)

On the following line insert 0x05711106 at the front of the list of numbers.

Press Ctrl+X to exit & save.

Enter "diskutil repairpermissions /" (without quotes)

Reboot and if you're lucky it'll work.




The Yukon kext is inside the IOFamily kext.

To get to it:

cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents

Then edit the Info.plist in that directory to change the numbers.

can someone please help me.. ill list everthing i did

i have the d3 s3 with f8 bios
ahci disabled(first option on bios menu)
0-3 mode disabled
and sata diviced in ide mode

i have a ide dvd burnder drive and a sata hd (installed in orage slot #1 'top')
i got everything installed fine, and it booted into osx. but the wierd thing is it will only boot with osx install dvd in the drive, and i let it boot to cd/dvd and dont hit any keys and after it times out itll boot into osx. if i take the dvd out it just hangs after the computer bios does its normal thing when you turn system on.

my xbench scores for hd are 4.5 which basically means i cant use this system.

i tried plugging into the purple port and turning ahci mode on and 0-3 to native (which disabled my ide dvd rom)
and after restart and bios does its thing i get a missing com/apple/bl bla.plist error and thats all it does. i have also applied the jmicron kext patch after to see if itd help and it doesnt.

i tried playing with all settings and i can only get it to boot with the settings i listed up top (with install dvd in and timing out).

whats going on here?

i see others having a prob booting to the purple sata ports but i havent seen 1 person yet who has to use the install dvd as a boot disk. this is a work system i built and i really need it to work. ps im not dual booting and that might be why everyone else can boot up? i have no mbr cause i have no windows installed.

The 2nd SATA (Purple/JMicron) is supposed to be in AHCI mode IIRC. Once the install is done the drives should work fine on the yellow (Intel ICH8) SATA connectors with the first SATA set to AHCI mode. (Mine does anyway, and I get an Xbench score of roughly 60).

it wont boot anything on the orange sata plugs? is my mobo damaged? somehow i got it to boot to osx before by leaving the dvd in but now i reiinstalled and it wont boot. i also just successfully installed win xp on a diff hd plugging it into the orange #1 port and after reboot it just hangs with a blinking cursor. im starting to think this is a mobo bios issue now.

cant get anything to boot on the purple sata.. i have xp hard drive in orange #1 and osx hd in #2 and i got the chain0 and bootini setup and i still cannot boot into osx. it says chain booting error, if i switch the hds so osx in the master in sata #1 it just hangs at a blinking cursor. this is the 3rd time ive reinstalled osx and they all install fine, and then i can not get them to boot.
xp boots fine. whats the deal.

Am I the only one who is having problems?
Installation went fine. I have vista and OS X dualbooting no problem.

Audio doesn't work. I tried all three packages conroe mac suggested.

LAN doesn't work period. Works fine in windows.

I even tried the gigabyte ds3 packages and still nothing.

Also when I install these packages OS X only comes up on half the screen and the mouse pointer doesnt show. I reboot and it's back to normal

specs:
Gigabyte DS3 gen 2.0
E4300 processor
7800 GTX video card
2 gb g.skill ram

can anybody help me?

how do I have to set my bios before installing 10.4.9 uphuck 1.3? sata native? mode?
and after installing? thanks

No matter. I'd install 10.4.6 with Onboard SATA AHCI Mode.
Seagate 200Gb SATA plugged in up purple port. And USB DVD.

for some reason on 1 install i couldnt get the lan to work and i did everything right. it had no rhyme or reason. i had it working the 1st 2 installs and the 3rd time it didnt work.

this is what i did to get it fully working. install. then update to 10.4.9 to get usb working right.
then i mod my lan and download the audio pack here

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520

just so you know the 888 pack worked for me and most others with the s3 board said it didnt work for them. so it might have to do with me running 10.4.9 i dunno but the 883 didnt work on 4.8 or 4.9


everything works now.

Anyone got problems with 4gb ram?

I have 2gb installed; everything works great. But I read a topic with users that had problems with more than 3gb.

4gb works fine on ds3 ver1.0

Hello to everybody.... I need help, y was just great when I download the Marklar-Tiger and when I just did it I try to install OS X x86 but I can´t. The bios start with Darwin and then appears the apple and with a circle down after some minutes over de apple icon appears a NO apple, So please I need help I want to install OS X on my Pc.

My Pc has:

Gygabyte GA-965 P-DS3 Ver. 3
Intel Core DuoE6420 LGA 775 2.13 Ghz 4Mb L2 Cache 1066 Mhz FSB
2Gb Ram memory

So please hope somebody can help me and tell me what do i have to do to instal OS X x86

Hello all,

I have 10.4.9 with the SSE3-2, ICH8-R, speedstep, etc. running well on the following rig, with a few exceptions:

GA-965P-DS3 v2
4GB Ram
7600 GT
Westinghouse LVM3 37" monitor 1920x1200
On board Sata
On board audio
On board ethernet

The CoreDuoTemp application says I run in the high 50s on idle with a speed rating of between 1.0GHZ and 1.5GHZ is this normal? Is there a way of telling whether I'm using both cores?

On another note, I'm having trouble installing iLife. I have the same setup on a thinkpad x60 and iLife install without a problem. On the Gigabyte setup it crashes during the install of iDVD, everytime, without fail.

I've been having a really weird issue with 2 of my SATA drives (non-boot) sometimes not appearing once booted into OS X (1 in every 2 boots will see them disappear) with my new Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Rev 3.3). I don't suppose anyone else has encountered this problem?

I'm running 3 SATA hard drives (Western Digital Raptor 10000rpm, a Seagate and a Hitachi) along with 1 SATA DVD writer. I'm running Uphuck's 1.3 release with the ICHR8 & JMB drivers. When using them while they work (assuming they've appeared at startup) they work fine at the sort of SATA speeds you'd expect.

I'm completely baffled as to what's possibly wrong. Anyone care to shed any light on this?

Man after 4 days and over 20 times of installing vista n os x 10.4.9 JAS, i finally got it to dual boot. But am making use of the Darwin bootloader as i can't seem to get my Vista's one to work right.

BTW, do i need drivers for my external harddisk drive? Doesn't seem to mount, but all my memory cards mount.

Also i can't seem to write into the mounted Vista partition. Can that be solved?

Thanks

I bought Gigabyte 965P DS3P rev 3.3 (P stands for Firewire onboard)
I'm runing Jas 10.4.8 + 10.4.9 update + gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2
System is working nice, but I have some questions:

1. Sound... I used Pion's patch from gigabyte ds3-4 pack and got only Stereo out, nothing more, no mic, no input, no digital...
(just solved sound problem with ALC888Audio.pkg http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520, I used 3ports + digital option when instaling. Got Line IN/OUT, MIC IN, DIGITAL IN/OUT)


2. Sleep... When setting bios to "S1", resuming from sleep is working but S1 doesn't shut down power fan and CPU fan
"S3" shuts down everything nicely, but after resuming from sleep USB keyboard and mouse must be re-plugged to use them again

3. Benchmark... can anyone post XBench 1.3 scores ? I'm interested what's good what's not. THX!


THX!

Hello sorry for noob question (im first time hacintosh user). I read almost whole topic (it's huge:) ) but i don't understand which hdd is better for hacintosh: WD or Seagate? And is hdd work fast in 965P-DS3P rev. 3.3?

hello all.. i'm debating using either a ds3 or ds4 for a hackintosh build with an e6420, or else just building a windows box around an evga 680i and e6450 (when they come out in 2 weeks) and buying a macbook pro in addition. Building the hackintosh would definitely be cheaper, but the second option would give me a very powerful windows pc, and a real mac...

so, to keep this on topic:

what issues still exist with the ds3/4 series, and does the opening post in this thread cover all issues and stipulations? and, exactly how hard is it to update from 4.8 to 4.9 (and 4.10 in the future)?

Read carefully instructions in [How-to...]: you can't install OS X from DVD IDE. You need SATA or USB DVD




No new problem. The same procedure as from 10.4.6 to 10.4.8.
I install MacOSXUpd10.4.9Intel.dmg and replace {mach_kernel, AppleSMBIOS.kext, IOATAFamily.kext, loginwindow.app} That's all for working system. Video works with natit.kext same as for 10.4.8.
Moreover there is new feature "rotate display" appear after the update. Sound disappeared but easily restored from the same ALC883.mpkg (6 ports). All are works!

Read carefully instructions in [How-to...]: you can't install OS X from DVD IDE. You need SATA or USB DVD


Hello all fellow DS3 users,

My experience with this board seems contrary to most of the users here. While most of the ppl here mentioned NOT to use IDE port but SATA, I got total opposite result.

First, my only successful installation for 10.4.9 was using Uphuck 1.3 by the IDE port with an IDE DVD & IDE HDD. Installation options included SSE3, ICH8, Azilla Audio, Jcool ATI... everthings work, CI, QE, Audio, USB, USB Cam, restart... except the on-board network.

But note, if I plug in any SATA device, OSX refused to boot! If I remove the IDE DVD, OSX refused to boot. Which means to get OSX running on my system, The 2 IDE deveice must be plugged in & NO sata connected.

Second, for SATA DVD & HDD, I've tried what others suggested here b4, no AHCI, disable sata 0-3 native mode, IDE/AHCI mode for purple port.... & plugging the DVD & IDE in different combinations of orange & purple port. No luck, can't even get to the grey screen during installation & stayed in "still waiting for boot device"

However, if I plug my sata HDD to port 0, sata HDD to port 1, & enabled AHCI & sata native mode for the orange ports, the installation runs smoothly!! The only problem is, OSX won't boot after installation, just hang on right after the post screen with a blinking cursor, not even a single msg. BTW, the purple ports never work for me.

Third, If I use my good old 10.4.6 installation DVD, IDE or SATA, nevermind which I use, no problem at all! I can install & run 10.4.6 either by installing frm IDE or sata DVD & OSX runs without a problem, again, either it's running on an IDE or sata HDD(orange & purple port). But in 10.4.6, I can't solve my display & network problems frm any patches I could find on the Net.

Anyone here got the same experience like me?? U know how to solve my sata not working problem?? I really hate to plug-in the sata when I need to use Vista. & then un-plug all sata to get into OSX... I want sata only in my system!!!

Solved SLEEP problems !

Look at my signature...
I attached needed kext.

I used the 6 ports option and got 5.1 working fine.

QUOTE

I think this might be more of a kernel issue than a hardware issue. If I use S3 then it doesn't even reinitialise the Finder correctly which is a pity. I might have a bit more of a play with this and see what other things might be causing issues with it (CPU Throttling etc.?)

QUOTE

My benchmark attached. I'm running at standard clock speed at the moment (2.4Ghz instead of my usual 3.1Ghz) but there ya go.
Overall score, 138. CPU = 124, Thread = 237, Memory = 162, Quartz = 182, OpenGL = 167, UI = 456, Disk = 53.

This is on 10.4.10 with a 8.9.1 SSE3 kernel, 7900GT videocard.

ok now to quote myself....

there is something weird going on with sleep function...

Sometimes, after resuming, it just stays on "beach ball of death" instead of bringing desktop or asking for a password....
(LAN is working, (I can tell it by working ICQ), monitor/video is working (I see beach ball), usb mouse is working (I can move beach ball), usb keyboard is working too (I resumed computer by pressing a key)
Kernel / finder problems ???



BUT most of the times it's working right....

I downloaded the JaS 10.4.8 DVD and started the install program, but when the installer asks for the partition, it shows my HDD as a 128 GB one, but it's 250 GB (Seagate ST3250820AS Sata II).
It's strange, because the other partitions above the first 128 GB aren't visible in the disk utility.

Anyway, I decided to install in the first partition (100 GB FAT32, converted to HFS+ Journaling). The install proccess starts ok, but after the part one, it shows a message like this: "Please, try installing again"
I don't know what's happening. The DVD test was OK.

How can I fix the HDD size detection and the install error?

I don't know if it's a problem caused by the motherboard or my HDD.


THANKS

Just thought you might be interested to know that I managed to install Jas 10.4.8 without having to jump through any hoops.

Set the DVD as master, HDD as the slave, both on the DS3's sole IDE port.

Installation went well, however upon reboot it would stop at the grey Apple.

So I rebooted again, saw the welcome message, and then "Cannot recognize the keyboard" screen, my USB mouse & keyboard weren't functioning. So I plugged in a PS2 keyboard and mouse... keyboard was detected, mouse did not work. So I hit the reset button, kept the PS2 keyboad plugged in, and plugged in the USB mouse. Oddly enough that worked. Then when the formalities were over, and the desktop was loaded, I plugged in the USB keyboard, and it worked fine. Go figure!

And voila, an easy *enough* installation!

Obviously I don't know how well the onboard sound works, but the LAN is fine. *EDIT: Sound works thanks to the gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2*

Has anyone tried using Uphuck's 10.4.9 installation and Koolkal's 10.4.10 update on this Gigabyte board of ours (version 1.0 for me)? Did everything work including apps like Autodesk Maya?

Hello BigBirdDo you have GA-965P-S3? If yes, did you ALC888 6 channels + Digital In/Out working? If true please tell me how? I've tried Taruga's and Skippy patches and didn't work!!!ThanksYuYu DJJust add your ID on IOAppleNetworkFamily.kext. In my mobo's is Ven 11AB DEV 4364. I've got fully internet.Did you have Audio ALC888 6ch+Spdif IN/Out working? How do you?ThanksYuYu DJ

Do you have full Realtek ALC888 Azalia 6 channels output and digital spdif in/out support?

How did you do?

YuYu DJ

Hello,

Could you try with ALC888Audio.pkg the 6ch out+Digital (last choice in the installer)?

I have GA-965P-S3 rev 3.3 and doesn't work...

THX

YuYu DJ

Great, I just posted and was told to get this board.
Arrived today, and this explains why im having so much problems...

I have SATA drives with the OSX86 boot drive (10.4.8) on the port that's used for RAID (purple I think) andI got to burn uphuck 1.4i r3 successfully with a TDK DVD+R 16x but when I boot to DVD to make an installation it just shows me the Apple logo then after a while, it should this circle with a slash thing. What does it mean? and how do I solve this? My board is a revision 1.0

i m not agree at all

hd speed is very good here !!!! ( i m doing video & music so i need great hd speed )

everything is as fast as in windows

& the 965 chipset is one of the best to get to run osx



dont know where you had your infos .....

So I finally got it all working! I'm still using 10.4.8 as 10.4.9 recgonizes my computer as a 1.6gig instead of 2.1

I used this cd:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Intel SSE3 [JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.iso



Find this package here and it will fix ethernet right up for you!

anyone know anyhting

Jas is the compatible installer for our board, isnt' it? I've had success with only Jas so far (uphuck and koolkal, not yet), from Jas .8 to .9 but .8 is more compatible. Btw if you still don't have 2 working purple ports, you just switch the OS X boot hardisk to the lower purple SATA. If you have two hardisk, it'll run in full speed and boot OS X too.

Could you be a bit more detailed?I found out that if you do these exact settings that uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3 will work:HDD plugged into yellow sataUSB DVD drivesata raid/achi - Enabledsata port 0-3: enabledonboard sata/ide device: enabledonboard sata /ide ctrl: achiI will say that my 10.4.8 jas ran on the purple sata and took 30 secs to bootuphuck on the yellow/orange takes about 2 mins. ughif you have the jas version, plug into purple and just install. boom

is it possible to install on a raid 0? thanks

I went back to Jas' 10.4.8 after trying koolkal and uphuck 1.4 10.4.9 updates which seemed incompatible. I'm still gonna' try uphuck 1.3 to upgrade to try upgrading 10.4.9. Jas's 10.4.9 works but it doesn't recognize the CPU that it's overclocked- it sets it to default. I'm using an IDE DVD and 2 SATA drives both on the purple. I discovered that you could have the other one be detected on OSX without using the orange ports (putting it to legacy mode first in the BIOS), if you put the boot drive to the lower purple port and the other at the top (simply switching them). I must have overlooked it but I'm sure I'm not the first to discover it. Both my drives are not in full speed. My board is rev. 1.


Anyone here tried installing the uphuck 1.3 with this board revision or with the 3.3 rev?

yes - I use this combination , all work like a dream !

I got 1.3 to work on the first instal with i changed my bios settings to achi. and enabled port 0-3
installed with usb dvd and worked fine..
only things i noticed was my cpu speed was recgonized properly, though there is a fix (i didn't get it to work)
i find that everything seems to work a bit faster/compatible with jas 10.4.8
plus if you like i have a folder that sets up jas 10.4.8 in about 30 mins *audio, lan video, photoshop*
let me know how you do...

I have Uphuck v1.3 running for a couple of days now on my r3.3. seems stable, but had to deal with crashes initially.

Here are some of my setting that might be of help.

Sata ACHI ( top most setting) : Disabled
Sata/IDE: IDE
Power management :S3
SMART: enabled
sata port 0-3: disabled
first boot device : disabled ( i dont know if this has any affect, probably none)

OSX boot drive connected to 1st purple sata port
XP boot connected to first orange sata port
IDE DVD to IDE port

Problems encountered and fixed.
1. loginwindow.app crashing during boot ( from cold boot, restarting seems to work fine sometimes). In your bios set your video card to Auto, i had mine in turbo and it keeps crashing my nvidia 7300GT. Auto setting will get you a lower user interface score but doesnt crash, maybe an upgrade to 7600GT is in order.

2. PS keyboard did not work, so i slapped a usb one and installed the p/s2 fix from the gigabyte DS3 pack and worked.

I also remember juggling between AHCI, no AHCI etc etc in the bios to get it installed. i used only the intel files, loginwindow, titan ( for my 7300gt) and universal 3 kernel on the uphuck v1.3. i could not get the 1.4i r3 to work.

I have GA-965P-S3 and use ALC883Audio.pkg 6ch out without Digital - > full sounds 5+1 support in and out! Both in 10.4.8 and in 10.4.9.

I don't know why you guys have all got your HDDs plugged into the JMicron controller... The ICH8 SATA controller is much better and works fine for me under OS X (though I'm using a DQ6, rather than a DS3.)

Edit: By the way, I don't think the ALC883 package will work on rev 3.3 DS3s which have the ALC888 instead of the ALC883 on the earlier revisions.

Please help me get working Mac OS X

I've installed without any troubles Mac OS X JaS 10.4.8.
