tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ok, Im pretty new to hackintosh. I used to have OSX in a virtual machine inside of windows a while back when i was on AMD - and that didn't work well. Anyway, I just converted to intel, so I can have a native hackintosh and all is going semi-well. I do, however, have a few problems. Before I start, system specs: Mobo: Asus P8Z68v-lx CPU: Intel i5 2500k Graphics Card: nVidia 9800GT RAM: 2x 4g GSkill Raw 1333MHz Ram 1) I spent about 3 hours yesterday trying to get audio to work. I finally got it to work using voodooHDA v.2.1.62(?) from #######. All is fine except for the constant feedback and crackling on startup. Any ideas on how to fix that? I tried using older versions of Voodoo like a few other threads suggested but none of them seem to remotely work . 2) My mother board and CPU Support IntelHD 3000 graphics, and I assigned 480mb shared memory to it, but OSX only picks up 64mb. I have set my SMBios profile as the mac mini as another thread suggested and it didn't seem to help Any ideas? 3) My Separate graphics card doesn't seem to even work. I have tried NVEnabler (which I have ten told is old and hasn't worked since 10.6.8). I have Graphics Enabler set to "Yes" but it isn't picked up. I am thinking of just buying a GTX550ti, as according to the OSX86 wiki that card allows dual monitor output correct? 4) I am from the UK, using a non-apple keyboard and my keys are all messed up. I went through the keyboard identification wizard and it identified my keyboard as an ISO keyboard (Europe) which I presumed was correct. But my keys don't quite work properly. On the 2 key, there is an @ instead of an ". The key next to left shift makes § and ± instead of \ and |. and the @ key (apostrophe) makes " instead How do I fix this? 5) Scrolling up on my mouse (Gigabyte M6900 gaming mouse) has extra buttons, that I can't rebind, any ideas? Also, scrolling the wheel up makes the page move down (which is really confusing ) Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 1. I tried AppleHDA and got no sound at all. I also tried the rollback AppleHDA in ##### and that didn't help either :S 2. Which next? Where do I put it? 3. I did have "PCIUIDRoot=1" in for some reason, that was added by########. Is that the one you mean? 4. Thank you! 5. THe problem I think I'll have is OSX recognises all of the other buttons as right click :S There seems to be no manufacturer Kext for this mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 OK, some more info is needed. What version of Lion are you running? Roughly, how did you install it? Some detailed info about the devices in your computer would be helpful. Please download System Info and show the output from the Devices tab: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=219584 There is a program called Ukelele that can help you with your keyboard layout: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele For mouse scrolling, go to Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Mouse and click on the button for "scroll direction" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am running lion 10.7.3, installed form iAtkos L2 + Apple 10.7.3 combo update. Here are my devices: Devices.tiff In System Prefs -> Mouse I dont have a button for scroll direction, I checked there first Also, new problem. I tried to setup a time machine disk on my secondary 1tb drive, and now OSX won't boot I get a "cannot find mach_kernel" message upon boot. Chameleon, however, shows the drive as "Lion (1,2)" I hit enter and it can't find mach_kernel. However, If I boot through the DVD it works fine. When I get into OSx, i can see mach_kernel in the root folder of /Lion. Its odd. Any ideas? Also, when I go into system Prefs -> Startup Disks, Lion isn't listed there, which I find odd.

rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Mouse - at the top of my 10.7.3, there is an item for "Move content in the direction of finger movement…" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oops, sorry, so there is Any ideas on the disk problem, because it's driving me mad having to boot into the DVD every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 For the 9800 GT, need to add your device id to the kext for the card. Add 0x061410de to the Info.plist inside the kext /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext. For the disk booting, you need to install Chameleon. Go to this posting and download and install the 1902 pkg: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Chameleon - worth a try - it might install a new org.chameleon.Boot.plist file that helps with the mach_kernel thing VoodooHDA - try the latest version: http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/downloads/detail?name=VoodooHDA-2.7.3.pkg.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have tried reinstalling chameleon but to no avail I think I'll just re-installlion I can't even get the damn thing to boot properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommykent1210 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 ok, reinstalled OSX to fix the boot , and the voodooHDA 2.7.2 L) So audio is working. Reinstalled those keyboard layouts so that's fixed. Now, I just have the intel HD 3000 graphics problem. Youtube videos don't play, so I assume ti is a QE/FI issue (or whatever it's called). So, that's top priority atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
