[GUIDE] iDeneb 10.5.5 on Toshiba A100-PSAARA

[Slither2008]

Introduction

 

This is a basic guide to setup your iDeneb v1.3. I prefer to use the iATKOS v4i and there is a 10.5.4 guide I wrote earlier found here as it has everything below + Speedstep working great but for those who can live without Speedstep and want 10.5.5 then read on...

 

 

By following this you will get the following working (basic level):

• Sleep, Restart, Shutdown
  
• Bluetooth
  
• Audio (Input & Output)
  
• Video with QE/CI support
  
• Finger Scanner
  
• Firewire
  
• Battery Status
  
• Wake from sleep when Lid opened
  
  

What you can get with more tinkering (intermediate level)

• Video with VGA output in Dual Mode not Mirrored
  
• Speedstep (work in progress)
  
• PCMCIA
  

What I haven't got working completely:

• Intel Speedstep (Issues getting the ACPI pstate values or in other words mhz and voltage table from kernel)
  
• Brightness Control (I've attempted reggie_se hacks but I can't get the backlight to dim)
  
• SD Card (Impossible at this stage)

Links of Thanks

 

• xnu-speedstep team
  
• MadTux and his IntelHDA work
  
• iATKOS team for making the ONLY "AppleACPIPlatform.kext" that allows sleep on this laptop.
  
• iDeneb team for the great 10.5.5 release!
  
• To You for reading this thread!
  
  

Closing Thought

 

If you like using this then go buy a mac or at least a retail copy of OSX!

[ducatman]

hello where is the sleep driver

thanks

[Slither2008]

hello where is the sleep driver

thanks

 

The reason it is not up is that I have investigating why it only worked with iATKOS v2i AppleACPIPlatform.kext and why the new iDeneb AppleACPIPlatform.kext doesn't work.

 

I believe I found the reason.

 

iDeneb's AppleACPIPlatform.kext can be fixed easily by following these steps below.

 

Step 1. Open Finder

Step 2. Navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/

Step 3. Right click on AppleACPIPlatform.kext and select "Show Contents".

Step 4. Open Plugins.

Step 5. Remove the Thermal kext. Done.

Step 6. Delete this file "/System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext". This file is your driver cache and it is good to delete this whenever you change your kext drivers.

Step 7. Restart using -f option.

Step 8. Finished.

 

I'm at work right now but if this doesn't work I'll email you my copy when I get home.

Hi fike2903,

 

That's very strange, what version of iDeneb are you using and what model Toshiba is it?

How Can I Add An External Mouse To My Hackintosh ..? My Computer Is A100-036 Thnx

 

just plug your mouse in.. its usb?

it should work right away...

 

slither2008, ive installed the wrong display driver, i have the 128mb version but installed the 256mb driver. i have problems with banding, no vga out, vlc not playing dvd's.

any ideas on reinstalling or fixing?

[Vini]

Many thanks for your guide, I followed it using iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6)... Whilst my install is not 100%, I've got the desktop running!

 

I'm using a slightly different model laptop, to be precise, a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE-00U00KEN.

 

It took 5 me attempts which seems to be about the average from what I've read!

 

I used the following customizations;

 

Chipset: ICHx Fixed

Kernel: Kernel 9.2.0 Sleep

Network (Ethernet): Intel100ProVE

Fix (AppleSMBIOS): Apple SMBIOS MacBook

Fix: Firewire Remove

Fix: PowerOff_fix

Video (Intel): GMA950

Applications: KextHelper

Applications: OSx86 Tools

 

As of now, I have no sound, and more severely, whenever I try to mount a .dmg, I get Kernel Panic. Not sure how to fix this, or what the solution might be, but seeing the desktop is enough for me tonight!

[ethereal123]

May I ask what is this fix for : Fix (AppleSMBIOS): I tried different installs on Tecra M5 toshiba(North Bridge: Mobile Intel Calistoga-PM i945PM; South Bridge: Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M) without this fix..installled successfully but hangs on first restart at apple logo (tried different setting).

[guileverne]

Hi, could someone activate Quartz Extreme on the Toshiba A100?

[Slither2008]

I know these replies are late but here they are anyway.

You should be fine to just reinstall selecting the right kext.

Have a look here regarding the banding : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=125954&hl=

 

Vini

To trouble shoot the kernel panic you should open up the system console up under Applications->Utilities. See if you can find any unusual messages and have a check on google in case someone else has come across them.

For the sound you should find out what audio chipset you're using. There are usually drivers floating around here or on infinitemac.com

 

ethereal123

You'll need to trouble shoot what it's hanging up on. Try booting with the -v option and see where the log stops at.

 

guileverne

Try using PCWiz's OSX86Utility to enable it through there.

Hello Slither2008,

 

Can you make the Internal Intel wireless card work? If yes, which driver should chose?

 

Thanks.

[Slither2008]

Hello Slither2008,

Thanks.

 

Hi bluefall,

 

I don't own this laptop anymore but I believe at the time I was using it there was no Intel 3945AGB driver/kext available. I would recommend you purchase a compatible Wifi Mini PCI-Express card and remove the keyboard. Have a look for very small tabs on the outer edges of the keyboard tray and use a flat precision screwdriver to gently push them all in.

 

I can't confirm this is the correct procedure but maybe if you have a look for some video demonstrations on Youtube it might provide some clarification on how to remove it properly. Once you remove the keyboard tray swapping the cards over should be a pinch.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

 

[update]: Because I'm nice....and no this isn't me in the video...lolol....hope this helps clarify things : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcM9knr_P4Q

Thank you, Steve!

 

I'll try to do it as you told me.

 

Currently the Intel Pro/VE 100 ethernet doesn't work either.

 

Did you installed a patch for it after finished installing iDeneb?

 

Thanks.

That's strange, I don't think I had to edit the kext, it should have worked outta the box. Try some other kexts on insanelymac and each time you install a new kext remember to remove the /System/Library/Extensions.mkext cache file. It gets rebuilt when you shut down/restart. You can also flush the kext cache when you boot using the option flag '-f'

 

Good luck!
