ralphwiggum Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi there, I have the exact same mobo & had no sound to start with as I didn't know which kext to use, I eventually tried "VoodooHDA.kext" & audio was there, give it a try, im just learning myself all about installing osx86 so don't know much but im pretty sure that will get you sound. EDIT: Ignore me, I never read your mobo make properly, I thought it said P5KPL-AM not K5QPL-AM, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Parente Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi, I also have a p5qpl-am board and i'm trying to install snow leopard using the empire efi boot method, but i'm stuck with the "still waiting for boot device" error. Could you give some info on how you manage to install SL on your pc. Thanks Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spackley Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I bought a P5QPL-AM and struggled for 3 days to do a retail Snow Leopard install using Empire EFI and had all sorts of problems mainly involving ridiculously long install times (over 4 hours) and then failure to shut down fully and I nearly gave up with it, but after a lot of net trawling I came across this... http://prasys.co.cc/2009/09/boot-132-for-snow-leopard/ and after using a combination of the boot132 disc for Snow Leopard... http://www.mediafire.com/?zinzqoogjgz and then running myHackInstaller... http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/03/myhack...FINAL-released/ it worked a treat. It did say "Install failed" when the install finished but I booted into SL again with the Boot-132 Disc then ran myHackInstaller and used the customization option and left out SleepEnabler.kext and installed IoataFamily.kext to suit me but it now restarts and shuts down perfectly. I don't use sleep so not tried but I guess that won't work. Fully updated to 10.6.3 via downloaded combo update and then run myHackinstaller again before restart (may not be necessary but I did it anyway) I used VoodooHDA for audio and got a LAN kext from Kexts.com for the AttansicL1e network adapter. I haven't tried the LAN connection yet as I did all updates via a wireless adapter but it shows up OK in Network Settings so I think it'll work OK. Hope this helps...

matriculated Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi all, I have my PC (asus p5qpl-am with geforce 7600 gt) running almost 100%. Only my webcam is not working and occasionally (twice in 48 hours) my bios/cmos gets wiped on shutdown/restart - I may need to look into DSDT, which I know nothing about, to fix that. Sleep works too. I used the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method and it is by far the easiest method I've seen so far: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html Sound and webcam was working for me just after I installed 10.6.0 but after the 10.6.4 update/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] they stopped working. So at the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] part, you'll want to select [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to boot from your HDD and under Advanced Options, Kext > VoodooHDA to get sound working. To get networking going, I used kexthelper and installed the AttansicL1eEthernet.kext linked below: http://www.kexts.com/backup/index.php?cont...ard&mID=224 I believe it was the 2nd one that worked for me. My machine has been up and under use for 3 days and so far working not bad aside from the bios/cmos issue. No crashes under OSX but I just used Google Chrome, Coda for some web design, Photoshop CS5 and I played native OSX Portal. I even have my Mac Mighty Mouse working with my cheap Bluetooth dongle I bought from Dealextreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xj0218 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 我的华硕P5QPL-AM主板无法安装10.6,请你们指教。根本无法从光驱启动安装，很郁闷！不知是哪里错了，BIOS？还是VGA？我的显卡是板载的G41 GMA4500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
