mickefromhell Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hello everyone, I have been reading and reading about how it all works (OSX on non-apple-hardware)... Fortunetly I bought a fully installed and fixed 10.5.4 system and it works great apart from some strange things... When it's overclocked it cannot restart and also TM doesn´t seem to work... But apart from that everything seems fine... I have removed the overclock just to maximize stability... However I wasn't going to talk to much about that system, rather my own SL-installation witch just seems to work without anything other than the usual installation. I figured I'd have to do some fixes to get the graphics to work, but I do get water waves when i add "stuff" in the dashboard. I made a copy of com.apple.bootlist and used EFI-studio to add the efi-string for my graphics-card but after restart I don't get the water waves anymore and according to Xbench I get very slightly better points but the OpenGL test just shows a black screen... So what I did was to revert com.apple.bootlist to the original file... When I look at osx86project it seems like everyone with my graphicscard have to add EFI-strings to get it to work... but not me??? Or am I missing something? One other thing that seemed strange was after I was going to make the SL-HDD bootable so I didn't have to boot with the USB-stick everytime, I tried to do it from SL-terminal but then I got some UUID 35 error or something... I started up my old 10.5.4 system and did the sudo-stuff to the SL-partition from there and then it worked... As I stated earlier I downloaded Xbench and got an overall score of The thing is... that everything seems to work out of the box and I haven't seen anybody else post something similar so it gets me alittle worried ... Maybe there are things in need of fixing but I don't see them or haven't found them yet... Are there any other things part from the water waves in dashboard that I can check? I used this guide to install SL... http://lb.redirectingat.com/?id=292X457&am...start-to-finish ... and this is my ride! 8Gb Kingston RAM q6600 8800GT Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 Focusrite Saffire Thanks in advance for any answers... Looking forward to become a hackintosh-expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickefromhell Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ok... now it's really getting bad! It seems like I couldn't use my 8800gt to its full potential since the "About this mac" showed that I was using some Nvidia dsdt thing instead of the EFI. Well I modified the Extra folder on the root of the HDD with the corresponding UUID... But then it went bad! When I restarted and opened up "About this mac" it showed that I was finally able to use the EFI for my 8800gt and via Xbench I got far better results than before. However I noticed that my ethernet had stopped working... It seems to work in a way, but the IP adress I get is just one of those 192.168.x.x I thought something had happened to my SL installation and so I decided to boot back to my 10.5.4 installation. When I restarted the computer a screen came up and said that the CMOS checksum was wrong and I had to replace my CMOS. So I edited the BIOS-settings according to lifehackers guide and tried to boot Leopard again... This time I got my first panic or something..... Some screen came up just after I selected my old Leopardsystem in Chameleon and the screen said something and that I had to restart my computer... I figured this was because of the mismatch in UUID that I previously had written to the extra folders. So I booted SL again and from there I reverted the extra files that had been edited with the UUID files with the originals without UUID. Still ethernet was the same... and when I booted up 10.5.4 The same thing happened there... No Internet!!! I tried to start the Vistapartition but that one failed to startup complaining something about bootingproblems... No I connected my old XP computer just so that I could write this... Seems like I destroyed everything by installing SL and now it only gets worse and worse... How should I solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 That's quite a mouthful. You can fix the CMOS reset in your DSDT like this: http://netkas.org/?p=114 About UUID Error 35 and your other network problems, read this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1243271 Try booting snow in 32 bit mode, type arch=i386 -x32 -v at the Chameleon boot prompt.
