ruy.benton Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi, Thanks for great support. This board is the best 1) Kalyway 10.5.2 and iPC 10.5.6 select R1000 for LAN, Azalia (Realtek ALC888B) for sound and ICHx SATA drivers. In iPC select PS/2 fix if you use keyboard and mouse - PS/2. Or you can edit Sound Kext: nano AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist <key>Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver</key> ........ <key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key> <string>0x10ec0887 0x10ecffff 0x11d4ffff 0x14f1ffff 0x8384ffff</string> nano AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x27D88086</string> 2) Leo4AllVx, Jas xxxx and others. Install and then copy the Lan, Sound Kext to the /System/Libray/Extensions from other systems or edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext. If you don't select R1000 Kext. You get a loop "Do you already own a mac?" and you need to enter in single mode and "touch /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone" 3) Leopard Retail DVD - follow the tutorial for BOOT-132 and then copy R1000 for LAN, Azalia (Realtek ALC888B) for sound from a full working system (see previews notes) or edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext.

roberdo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I want to share my experience with this mobo. Since I'm a hackintosh noob I used both iDeneb 10.5.8 and iAtkos 10.5.7 Both worked, but with different small issues. My components: -Mainboard 775: GigaByte GA-G41M-ES2L -CPU 775 Core 2 Duo: Intel Core 2 Duo Prozessor E8200 Boxed -NVIDIA GeForce 9: Gainward GF9800GT Green -HDD SATA: Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640 GB -Case: SilverStone SUGO SG02B-F -Memory DDR2-800: Corsair DIMM 4 GB DDR2-800 Kit -Power Supply 400 Watt: be quiet! Straight Power E6 350W -DVD-Burner SATA: LG GH-22NS First I installed Win 7 and created/activated a new partition for Leo. with iAtkos everything worked out of the box, means LAN, Sound (line out), Graphic. However after Apple-Update power-off when shutdown didn't work anymore. And there were some problems accessing NTFS partitions. Therefore I decided to intall a fresh iDeneb 1.6 (10.5.8). Just choose Azalia for sound and Realtek R100 for LAN, works perfect. I have only one problem left: With this Sound driver I can adjust the volume, but cannot change any Sound configuration. The icon in the control panel is greyed and cannot be activated. No problem for me, because there is no need for me to change any of the system-sounds. I have seen there are updates for the sound kext, but don't know how to deactivate existing kext and install a new one (you remember - I'm a noob). Apple-Update works without any problems. I really like my new PC with Dual-Boot and I can recommend this mobo. Update Oct 4th: Plenty of time on a stormy and rainy Sunday afternoon resultet in a fully working OS X 10.5.8.

roberdo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Which graphic driver did you use for your 9800GT ? Really easy, just add an EFI string to your boot.plist. You can do it manually: http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=222.0 I did it automatically with a tool called =OSX86Tools (you can find it here or in google). Very easy, just a few mouse clicks and everything worked fine, including QE&R and dual monitor support. Total newbie here to the project.

Nearly all current Nvidia cards are reported to work. I have decided to purchase a 9800GT (it's the same as an 8800GT) - powerful and cheap and natively supported (only EFI string is needed - that's it). 2.) You can find many topics in this forum explaining how to install with a retail DVD (vanilla). I decided to make it easier and used latest iAtkos (10.5.7). Very easy automatic install with chameleon boot loader, vanilla kernel, LAN, Sound worked out of the box. Updated to 10.5.8 with one remaining issue: Sleep does not work - I don't need it. You can even choose navit video driver during install. GT9800 worked with it. I deleted this driver an added an EFI-String (see above). Good luck!

Clickr OButtons Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I am having a very hard time with this board. I bought it to replace an aging server and was intending to run Leopard Server on it. I have tried a number of install packages from boot-132 to some of the D41M-ES2L specific packages. I can consistently boot to the Aurora screen and then it hangs with a spinning beach ball, seemingly refusing to start the installer itself. It seems like it's a permission issue, but with the graphic up, I can't see what the problem is. This is a Rev 1.4 board. One thing I notice is that ACPI cannot be explicitly set, although it has an optimized setting that is supposed to enable the setting. The other problem I consistently see with all packages if I boot with -v is that the fasksmc cannot be installed for some reason. Has anyone else seen and resolved these problems? Thanks. -clickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
