This is my installation guide for OS X 10.8 ML.
I will try to improve my guide all the time. If anyone has a suggestion, I will add it.

Warning: I'm not responsible for any damage or problems to your system, lost of data and any other issues.
Be sure to have a backup of important parts of your system! (BIOS-rom(s), drivers, files, etc.)
I have tested most HW-parts on temperatures, (fault/warning) messages, etc. and believed this setup is safe to use. However their could be parts on your setup that don't work (properly) for you.

Last Update: 02/05/2013

My system specs:
ASUS P8H67-M Pro (Rev 3.0/B3) motherboard (BIOS 3806)
Intel i5-2400 @ 2.4Ghz
Kingston DDR3-1333 RAM 8GB
Samsung 830 SSD
EVGA GeForce 450 GTS (1GB)

Machine Status:
OS X ML 10.8.3 booting in UEFI-mode
Audio: Working (VoodooHDA)
Ethernet: Working
Speedstep: Working
USB: Working
USB 3.0: Not working
Sleep: Not working, Clover-bug
EVGA GeForce 450 GTS: Working, but freezes can occur (Fermi bug, only nVidia/Apple can fix it)
(P)ATA: Not used

BIOS Settings:
- Disable USB 3.0 Controller (also legacy-mode)
- Disable PATA/Serial/LPT-ports
- Disable EPU Power Saving
- Enable (no auto!) all available CPU State Reporting (C1E, C3, C6, etc.)

Basic Installation Steps:
You need a copy of a running Macintosh/Hackintosh 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 system.
These steps are for a clean OS X installation (aka format). So backup your data before installing OS X 10.8!

I recommend to create a bootable USB-stick/External HDD, these are the files you need:
- Latest Enoch bootloader
- Chameleon.zip (see attachements below)

I have used this guide to create a bootable USB-stick and boot OS X. I did not apply the MBR-patch, because I recommend to install OS X on a GPT-table.
This however has one downside when dual-booting: You will have the install Windows 7/8 and/or Linux in UEFI-mode. A small guide how to do this can be found below.

Before booting the USB, org.chameleon.Boot.plist and SMBios.plist in the /Extra folder of the USB-stick. I also recommend to create a /Extra/Tools folder, where you can place all the required utilities/kexts, etc. needed for the OS X installation.

These are the files you can place in the Tools folder:
Kext Utility, HWSensors and the Realtek driver

If you can't boot after installation, try to boot with the flags -x -v.


DSDT:
I have added a DSDT.zip attachement. Their are two folders inside:
- orig
- patched

Copy DSDT.aml from the patched folder to the /Extra folder (Chameleon) or for (when installed) Clover to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched

I recommend to create your own DSDT with DSDT Editor and apply my Fix.txt that also can be found in the patched-folder.

Post Installation
After successful booting OS X ML, unzip all the downloaded files from the Tools that we placed on the USB-stick.
Install HWSensors, Realtek RTL and run Kext Utility to repair permissions.
Reboot and boot again with the ML USB-stick

You will now have a basic OS X setup. Follow the additioneel steps below to install a bootloader and patches to get more complete setup:

Install Clover (UEFI) Bootloader:
I'm using the UEFI bootloader Clover as default bootloader.

Use the following install options:
 Schermafbeelding 2013-04-21 om 20.27.34.png   187.1K   68 downloads

Open a Terminal-window after installation and enter the following commands to mount the EFI-partition:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
diskutil list
sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk*s1 /Volumes/EFI

Example:
sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI or sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/EFI

Replace the default config.plist contents in the CLOVER directory with the following:

To install Clover as bootable-option (needed for ASUS-boards) format an USB-stick inside Windows with a FAT32-filesystem:
- Download this Shell.efi file and place it into the root of the USB-stick as Shellx64.efi
- Reboot your system, and enter the BIOS-settings screen
- Go to Advanced Settings > Exit > Launch EFI-shell from filesystem
- The EFI-shell should now automatically load.
- Run the following commands from the EFI-shell (# ... # are just comments):

> map fs* #choose the correct disk where OS X is installed#
> fs1: #for me it's fs1#
> cd \EFI\CLOVER #change to the \EFI\CLOVER directory on the EFI-partition, if you can't cd, you have the wrong fs*:#
> bcfg boot dump #list current boot-menu settings#
> bcfg boot add 0 CLOVERX64.efi "OSX" #add Clover as a boot-option#
> bcfg boot dump #list the changed made to the boot settings#
> reset #restart system#

That's it, you can now boot into Clover-EFI (and boot OS X afterwards) by selecting OSX in the BIOS-menu.

If you cannot boot correctly, try to change Clover boot-settings by pressing the O key on the keyboard in the Clover-bootmenu.
Check /EFI/doc/UEFI boot with Clover.rtf for more info

Speedstep:
- Flash the BIOS with EZ-Flash (risky! This can brick your MB!) with your own patched rom.
- Restore the BIOS settings that are listed on the top of this post
- Try to boot OS X
- Remove the NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in the /System/Library/Extensions folder
- Run Kext Utility
- Reboot.

If it gives you a KP, restore NullCPU* from the USB to /System/Library/Extensions

Patch IOPlatform:
- Open the file /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/iMac12_2.plist with TextWrangler.
- Replace the following lines:

<key>iMac12,2</key>
<string>SP11</string>
<key>SP11</key>
<data>........................</data>

With this from the MacPro3,1 model:

<key>iMac12,2</key>
<string>SP11</string>
<key>SP11</key>

- Follow the additional steps from here to get speedstep to work properly
- Run Kext Utility
- Reboot

Use MSRDumper, to check how speedstep is working:

MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 17 18 19 20 32 33

Update OS X to 10.8.3:
- Install the 10.8.3 combo-update (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640) - DON'T REBOOT AFTER INSTALLATION!
- Redo all the above patches to the kexts: IOPlatformPluginFamily, etc.
- Run Kext Utility
- Reboot

nVidia GeForce 4xxx (Fermi) Patch & Fix:
Step 1
Step 2

Optional Stuff:

Windows 7/8 64-bit Dual Boot setup:
If you want to dual boot OS X and Windows, we first need to create an bootable UEFI USB-stick so that we can install Windows on a GPT-layout.

- install OS X first: Create a custom partition layout, and leave some disk space (30GB or more) for the Windows 7/8 installation (Don't make a partition, just let it empty)
If you have already installed OS X: You don't need to reinstall, just boot with the ML-USB stick, open Disk Utility, and shrink the OS X partition.

- Next step is to create a FAT32 USB-stick for Windows 7/8 (x64), format an USB-stick (inside Windows) with FAT32 and follow the steps below:
For Windows 8 this is easy: Just run the upgrade/setup advisor and let it create an USB-stick with Windows 8 Setup on it. (Download the Official Installer)
For Windows 7 this is more difficult, see one of the following guides: link link link

- If you have successfully created the Windows USB-stick, it is time to boot the USB-stick in UEFI-mode. Just plug-in the USB-stick, hit the F8 (BIOS)-key and select the option: *UEFI: USB-stick name*, and hit enter to boot. (If you don't see the *UEFI:* part, than your USB-stick is wrong created, try again)
- When successfully booted, install Windows as Custom Installation on the empty space we have created above. (Don't create a partition, just click on the empty space and click on the Next-button)
- After the installation, you need to set Clover back as first boot-option, and you should boot into OS X or Windows from the Clover-menu without any problems.
It should now also be possible to select the Startup Disk inside OS X. (Not tested)

Thank you for this gigantic work !

[beta992]

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your guide, I haven't exactly followed all steps, but some parts were very useful.

It seems these usb3 drivers are working : http://www.osx86.net...ll_drivers.html, couldn't actually try the usb speed, I dont have an usb3 device, but the controller is recognized by the system and does work, also the sleep function seems to be still available.
No luck with the PATA so far tough : /

Just FMI, did you patch the DSDT yourself, and if it's the case, do you remember which patch you used ?
Also is there any particular reason to use the MacPro(5.1) model ? I know the chosen model affects the loading of some kexts but I did not find any precise insight on this point.

So far I've used the latest Imac (12,2 I think ?), it seems to work anyway and I dont have to remove "AppleTyMCEDriver.kext".

(Just FYI I'm new to this, so I'm probably doing some mistakes )

Thanks for your post, will try to check-out that USB-kext - the only problem is that no source is listed so I don't know who made this.

I'm using MacPro5,1 because of PCI-devices, etc. are different in the iMac-model and because I found some weird messages in the Console.
Will try a iMac-smbios again soon.

The ApplyTyMCEDriver is a kext to check the memory (ECC?), but it is known to cause troubles with some models (MacPro5,1), that is why I have removed it.

I don't use PATA and since I had problems getting it to work and not wanted to have a IDE-cable inside the case, I have disabled the controller inside the BIOS.

The DSDT file is created by patches from olarila.com. I only change some of them to get it to work with the latest BIOS of this motherboard.
I'm now using a DSDT with the SSDT-tables inside of it, will try to post that one today.

Let me know what hardware you use, I'm always curious what hardware others use.

2. 355F3E92-**-**-**-***
3. i cannot find this on my mac pro!! how to find?
4. i am not sure whether it right or wrong. I hope u can check for me as i can not boot now.

1. sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk*s1 /Volumes/EFI - Maybe you have the wrong EFI-partition? Run the command diskutil list and check if you have the right disk and partition number. Sometimes it is /dev/disk1s1 and another time it is /dev/disk0s1
2. This should be the UUID of your Macintosh HD, I cannot check this, and you should not post this (for your privacy).
3. You can find all the information with a tool like Chameleon Wizard or champlist. These tools provide you all the information you need (see smbios generator)
4. You should read the Clover topic on this forum and why you can't boot? Did you install Clover yet? Because I see you still not have copied Clover to the EFI-partition.

[hkk1128]

i think i had chosen the right one ! you can check the below picture! help pls!
for the error of boot, the main reason is that i have not finished all the steps yet such as copy EFI-partition!

It should be this: /dev/disk1s1. So mount the EFI-partition after installing Clover, copy the Clover /EFI folder contents to the EFI-partition.
And then follow the shell steps. You cannot boot because you didn't do all the required steps.

i am very sorry to ask you again and again! sorry and hope you to be patient!

Bump: updated the guide once again.

Changed a lot of Clover config.plist settings.
See the Clover-topic howto set video-resolution, CPU, etc. settings.

Happy new year everybody.  

Just a fantastic guide here - very thorough and one of the only guides I found on Google that was from someone who understood what they were talking about! Any update on that USB 3.0 driver that someone linked you to? I'm looking for an mATX 1155 board for my G5 build, but USB 3.0 is imperative since I only use USB 3.0 USB drives and hard-drives nowadays, and it would be nice to have full speed since I'm used to it on my Linux desktop! Thanks in advance!

For USB 3.0 there should work such kexts: CalDigitFastIO.kext, CalDigitUSBxHCI.kext
Dowload them here:  CalDigitUSB3.zip   191.04K   2 downloads

For PATA Controller this kext should work:  AppleVIAATA.zip   43.55K   4 downloads

I also think, this guide is amazing! Thanks, TS!

Thanks for posting the kext. Could you also provide where you found them?

I need to update the guide to the 10.8.3 update and Clover changes, will try to do this asap.

I found AppleVIAATA somewhere on osx86.net accidentally a week before, can't find it now.
CalDigit kexts are already in MB package from tony (ASMedia USB3.0 drivers), but don't know if sleep would work with them.

BTW, if I add all obligatory kexts into Clover's /EFI/kexts folder, then no need to inject them into S/L/E and no issue with system updates.

After a few months I finally found some time to update my guide.

With the latest Clover rev. everything is working (almost) perfect!

Many thanks to the developers.

Hello, beta992!

Does your system wake up normally after a several minutes/hours sleeping?

I have Sabertooth P67 with a patched 3302 BIOS - having permanent wake up issues - Hackintosh tries to wake up, but the display wakes frozen with Clover (or doesn't wake with Chameleon) and computer restarts.

Other hardware: 2600K@4.6GHz, 4x4GB RAM G.Skill 1600MHz, GTX 470 1280MB, Creative Audigy SB1394 PCI (maybe this is the problem - kX project drivers), Samsung 2TB HDD (System) + WD 640 GB HDD.

Hi Artistus,

My system doesn't sleep at all at moment. But it did 'sleeping' fine a few weeks ago.

The problem can be your GeForce GTX 470. Do you have 'blocks'/weird colors when waking up your computer? (if you get a screen)
Other causes are enabled USB 3.0 controller(s), no correct DSDT patches or non working speedstep/CPUPM.

Please let me know your setup details (patched BIOS, kexts, etc.).

I haven't blocks/weird colors when waking with Clover.
Yes I have Nec USB 3.0 controller enabled with PXHCD.kext like on my Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop, which is sleeping fine.
I patched my DSDT many times from a scratch and using DSDT Editor and MacIASL, and no luck with wake from sleep.
My BIOS is patched by my hands like in one guide here for ASUS 3xxx BIOSes.
CPUPM working fine. Also I'm using the latest FakeSMC from HWSensors bundle.
Also I'm using Hnak's AppleIntelE1000e.kext for network, P8P67SATAControllers.kext, AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext, and AHCI_3rdParty_eSATA.kext (last two from MB bundle).

You should try without P8P67SATAControllers, AHCI_3rdParty_SATA/AHCI_3rdParty_eSATA kext. They should also not needed anymore when using a patched DSDT.

On ASUS board there are problems with USB 3.0 controllers, try to disable it (for testing) in BIOS and try again.
