khalednabil Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Any ideas what is wrong here? t420 Intel graphics, no discrete adapter. Using BIOS 1.37 whitelisted modded BIOS with modded DSDT. Verbose boot ends with: Transcript Offline - Buffer Pool Allocate Failed [181000] DSMOS has arrived macx_swapon SUCCESS It _does_ complete the boot as I can hear volume changing from the speakers, I can blindly log in and I can even reboot by pressing Power 'r' Enter. So I know its not frozen. The graphics ID is 8086 0126. I have tried with and without all AppleIntel* kexts on the system. I have tried with and without graphicsenabler=yes / no I have tried PCIRootUID=0 /1 /2 I have tried DSDT with only RTC fix applied. If anyone cares, I have also attached my DSDT for reference. I changed the name of the graphics device to GFX0, removed references to cores that I dont have. Matched the other Madl0n mods that he posted in another dsdt for the t420. Hi Ludacrisvp, You can check this URL: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28851&sid=226821bbd11d66837a0f00229b33ce1c for more details about your issue. It seems we both have the same configuration, I passed through this step, and used an already modified dsdt (in the above post) but causing another issues I would prefer if you can patch yours to include the dual link fix, and please report back if it's working with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could test it out for me and let me know if it works for you then I could at least rule that out and then I would know if I need to change the boot loader or something with the kexts on the system.

I have already tried yours and it didn't work for me, got me a black screen after booting, maybe you can try the DSDT i posted earlier, but still I am having some troubles about it, always get a self assigned IP and static IPs are not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvrmore100 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Display Port doesn`t work, throughs KP with AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB. Any ideas? Thanks EDIT4 - Video hangs are fixed! After hunting all over, I found some hints about new kexts in 10.7.3 that might be causing some pain. I removed all AppleIntelHD* out of /S/L/E and rebuilt the caches. I put that in my post. I had to remove all of the extensions or I had a multitude of graphical issues. No problems since removal aside from a few artifacts when booting a VM in parallels, and I cannot for whatever reason use a screensharing application my company created. It works fine in the java version of that app, but the native app doesn't work at all (sharing/view other peoples screens). It might help you out.

senisas Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hi nvrmore100, Thank you for the comment. Yes I did as you said it in EDIT4 but problem still here, If I connect DP then after boot laptop LCD shows blank screen, external monitor doesn`t receive signal and it seems that whole system is frozen. I tried RGB but first time resolution wasn`t satisfactory I tried to change it and now it doesnt work at all, I mean system sees external monitor but shows nothing on it. Any ideas, Console doesn`t show any problems or I cannot find any. Appreciate any help Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhh Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 For proper DP out you should patch AppleIntelHD3000 to correct it's outs? more info on tonymac should help Hi nvrmore100, Thank you for the comment.

crumpo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Fantastic guide, got everything working as in the first post. One thing though, the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB that came with 10.7.3 combo update works fine for my configuration, both digital outputs in the dock work (Displayport and DVI). With your patched version, the digital ports on the dock don't work. Thanks again, crumpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag6952563 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi Manwe, great post. Just a question on your last update. Now, we can used the patched AppleHDA, instead of VoodooHDA. I'm using the dsdt you had available before. Do I need to fix anything on the dsdt or just remove VoodooHDA and install AppleHDA? I have done this, remove VoodooHDA and install AppleHDA, but get no sound. If an edit of the dsdt is needed, could you attach the new dsdt with this change? Thanks, AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwe150 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sorry all, I started a new thread for my DSDT edits (and new download link), but the page link is hard to see in the big block of text (even I can't find it sometimes): http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=279148&st=0&p=1821374entry1821374 Joshhh's information looks correct also. @crumpo: i deleted that output since i didn't know what it connected to (i don't have a dock).

livestrong2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I was thinking about getting this USB 3.0 pci-e card for my Hackintosh T420, wasn't sure if it would work. Has anyone tried the PCI-e 34 port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhh Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It should definitely work, I use some cheap from ebay and it works fine with HDD speed about 90/110mbps w/r speed. This one should work too And ExpressCard should work with other types of cards not only usb 3.0, I use one with SiliconImage controller to connect my DIY DAS storage case and it works almost 42/7 from jan 2012 I was thinking about getting this USB 3.0 pci-e card for my Hackintosh T420, wasn't sure if it would work.

livestrong2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ok, great to hear. Thanks! Should I be worried about drivers though? because I know that a lot of them come with a cd to instal drivers on windows, should my hackintosh be fine?

But now if I go into photo booth, skype, google chat, etc. and go to the camera setting it will be set to integrated, and my little green light will come on next to my web cam, but the picture never comes up.

My solution is to use your patched kext for when I'm on the road and the one that came with OSX when I'm working from home and my T420 is tucked away in the dock. On a sidenote: Has anyone updated to 10.7.4 so far? Are there any caveats? Thanks, Crumpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrmore100 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Has anyone had any luck going to 10.7.4? I tried it a few days ago and can't for the life of me get my networking to work. I also couldn't boot without using the kernel from 10.7.3, would panic immediately. With the older kernel, it would load up, but no networking at all. I use it for work, so in the end did a TM restore to get back up and running without too much tinkering, but I tried: Replacing my kexts with those I backed up Copying all the kexts from /Extra/Extensions back to /S/L/E Everything appears fine, except the networking end...which is pretty important. :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is essential that you remove VoodooHDA and rebuild the system cache first (touch /S/L/E), or it will conflict with AppleHDA and cause a KP at boot.
