radekge Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 What graphics card are you using, btw? I've used your instructions, but get a blank screen when using the 10.6.2 kernel, no problem when using the qoopz kernel, but I'm trying to figure out if it's due to a kext incompatibility or possibly my dsdt file. I'm using nVidia GeForce GTX275, with chameleon GraphicsEnabler=y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistry7 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi, GA-P55-UD3 works great with Core i7 860 under 10.6.2 Search google for Empire Efi 1.08! Boot, Install from origin DVD, Update to 10.6.2, an Use the integrated Bootloader Installer (pkg very easy) and then I uses Kexts from another Boot-132 Project to get all running under 64Bit! The name of the project i don´t remember. nVidia works with EFI-String, Sound with Voodoo HDA and Network with 64BIT R1000.kext, DSDT fro RTC and CMOS Fix! Only the Intel P55 is shown as Unknown AHCI Konfig: Ga-P55-UD3 F4i Beta Bios Core i7 - 860 8 GB DDR-3 1333 (4x2 Kingston) NVidia 9400GS 512MB 2TB Seagate SATA LG DVD greetings from Germany mistry7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentosh Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi everyone, I am trying to instal SL on the p55-ud3 with radekge's method. I am getting "waiting for root device" message before the osx install, i've tried all the sata ports and all the ide/ahci combinations without success. I have an ide dvd drive, do i need a sata one ? Does anybody installed OSX succesfully on the p55-ud3 with an ide dvd drive ? Thanks. My config: ga-p55-ud3 core i5 750 4gb ocz gold 12800 ATI HD4850 WD Caviar 500 GB Sata2 LG ide DVD drive Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennisod Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello,just wanted to share my thoughts. I got vanilla 10.6.2 running on my core i5 and gigabyte ga-p55-ud3 boards. It's fully stable. However, the cpu in "about this mac" is still shown as unknown, as are the P55 based sata and usb controllers. Strange, I thought, the new iMac has EXACTLY the same components, it has to, P55 is for now the only chipset working with core i5. The mystery was solved when I saw first quadcore iMac benchmarks. Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Build 10C2234), not build 10C540 as we all have. So, they have a custom build. We'll probably have to wait until 10.6.3 for full i5/P55 support. Real iMac benchmarked with Geekbench scores over 6000. The same my i5 on Windows 7, however on 10.6.2 it scores only 4900. Waiting for the release of 10.6.3.... Would you share your BIOS settings? I have exactly setup as yours. I have my hard drive with Snow Leopard ready to go to be connected to my hackintosh pc. The only thing it bothers me is BIOS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crexx Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 To solve the 'system speed too fast' issue: Use the modified boot file for P55 boards located here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ak0769 It is a Chameleon RC3 boot file modified for i5 and i7 processors. There should be no need for any special boot flags with 10.6.2 Vanilla kernel. Good Luck! Read this thread for any help with P55 boards- lots of info and files: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...6155&st=380 I meant RTC as in "Real Time Clock"- I have patched DSDT for CMOS reset issue. For now the only way to make the system run in 'Real Time" is to use the i5 boot file. hey i´m sry but i am a noob can you tell me what i have to do with this boot file:D thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
