Hi guys,

Audio: Sigmatel 9227 (Working Rear Microphone) --> is MIC working using AppleHDAPatcher_v1.16?

Thanks,

stac9227_83847618.zip - changed microphone Boost to 3 in AppleHDA Info.plist

frantiheq,


My rear Microphone not working...

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist

<key>Boost</key>
<integer>3</integer>

Used: AppleHDAPatcher_v1.16, stac9227_83847618.txt

Am I missing anything?

I've install fresh ToH RC2 10.5 following peart75's guideline...

Thanks,

i did just the same thing and it worked. try to rebuild kext cache by booting with -f but i don't think it will help

the 19th: still no 82566 kext.
Well, I think I lost hope. Bigdaddyrob2g didn't HAVE to release the driver, but I was counting on it ..

I have read this whole forum and I still can not install Leo on the XPS 410. I get "waiting for root device." I am using the Brazilmac SL Dvd. I opened up my xps and looked inside to move things around but Im not sure wat to do. I have a dvd drve, a dvd-rw drive, and one hard drive. I think they are all SATA and they look like they are connected like a picture that I saw here on page 11 or so.

The only version I was able to install was Kalyway 10.4.10 and everything worked without the internet card as all of you have stated. How can I get Leo working, do I need to open it up and plug and unplug some of the SATA cables? I have the raid/ata option set in my Bios when I tried to boot from the dvd.

Can someone post a pic of how it should look connected in their xps 410 (the hard drive and the dvd drives)??

There is a kext that enables the sata support...... PM me your email and i'll email it to you when i get home

I PM'ed with the info. Hopefully the NIC card drivers will be uploaded sometime in the near future. If that would work then I wouldnt mind using Tiger at all..but without internet I dont use the pc that much. Sucks that Dells are configured in such way..I literally unplugged and plugged back in the SATA cables into different ports and still could not get to the installer on the cd without no root device hehe.

Yes, indeed. He does not HAVE to release it, but just as you said, I (like many others) thought that he would, soon...

Well the kext works for both tiger and leo. Thats how I got the leopard flat image installed.... I haven't been able to get home yet....... On the cd, when you plug it in, make sure it is on the sata port 2, I think....... but I can't remember what port....... I will pm you it if i can (don't know if i can do that but just send me your email just in case! )

Yeh I had the hard drive in SATA 0 and the dvd drive in SATA 1 and I had in the bios set to ATA/Raid. But that didnt work either. Maybe if I get the kext I wont neeed to change anything. There are other releases coming too so I will try everything lol.

Sorry if Im a bit late but what driver are you developing? I have an xps 410 but it has a gigabit ethernet card...is this wat you are working on? I think most dells have that too. But I hope that this will be a somewat universal network driver that would be excellent.

this is for the onboard NIC...... I emailed you those kexts, for leo, only put on the "pata.sata.pkg" one. If you put the other on, it will not find a root device.

bigdaddyrob2g, great job, and i really appreciate your work on this.
So some of you have this for leo already?
Would anyone be kind enough to help me get my NIC working by sharing it to me aswell?

Nice my XPS has some Gigabit ethernet card that never got recognized in Tiger...hopefullty this will work.

This is great!
Keep up the great work Rob

No that was for somebody to get their hard drives recognized...... I wish I had the kext! But, I don't

I see. It´s ok my mistake.
Hopefully i can remove my PCI 8139 card, when it´s released, and then i have full support of the hardware.

ya that would be good.

Has anybody gotten anything else interesting that you have done to your XPS/Dimension systems?

Hey guys, I'm a long time lurker, yet first time poster (and a complete and utter hackintosh newbie).

I've been keeping an eye on this thread for quite sometime, as I have a Dimension 9200. Tonight after running into many installation and dualboot problems over the week I can finally say I have Leopard running on my system. However I have my installation is incomplete, I'm missing a number of kexts to get the system running good and proper.

I've had a look around with no luck, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. (of course i realise the rules on linking to some sources).

I'm mainly concerned about my graphics card and audio, the rest I am more than happy to wait for, especially this 82566DC solution.

Thanks in advance.

hey thats great that you got the kext done! but where is it at? and i live like an hour away from that area...

LOL! Probably not!

When do you think that will be?



Well first, bigdaddyrob2g is going to release the NIC kext soon. The audio fix is also in his signature. If you install PC EFI though, make sure you patch the audio before you use the vannal kext. If you don't, the patcher won't run anymore. And for your video issue, just search the forums and ask around. I'm sure it is around somewhere

Yeah I had actually found the video solution and audio patch just before I had left for work this morning, I'm going to sort all that out pretty soon. Thanks though.


I'm looking forward to bigdaddyrob2g's NIC kext though!

..have i missed something? is it now possible to get OSX to recognise my Dimension 9200s Intel RAID?

No I don't think so....... Yet at least...... I think we might get it working...... But when, I don't know.

Well it IS Comcast.
Here you can add to the complaints on this blog (its actually set up by a nice National Public Radio guy... who was rubbed the wrong way by Comcast):

Has anyone tried the new Kalyway disk on thier XPS 410 yet? If so, were there any problems? Did it make your OSX install any easier?

I haven't..... Have you had troubles with it or something?

Tried iAtkos with EFI but couldn't boot after installation. Just black screen. And no AHCI support for ICH8R. I'm sure all of this can be fixed manually but i haven't tried. Installed my homemade Leopard . Serves best.

EDIT: 1:26 AM Nighty night everybody and merry os x-mas

aw man! I just downloaded the iATKOS!

It WAS overhyped a little though

I just installed iATKOS on my XPS 410 and it is working fairly well. No audio yet but working on it.

Make sure you install the boot loader and start with a fresh install.

Slave, same here I have it workin on my 410. But internet does not work either. I have a gigabit 82566DC ethernet card. I may have to go and buy a cheap workin one later. And Im not sure if you can use AppleHDA patcher and sigmatel 9227 dump on Leo yet but I have seen links for it.

The hda patcher works for leo...... but make sure you install it first before pc efi!

Why, what happens when you install it after, it doesn't work?

If it doesn't can you try this:
Does it work now?

have internet yet
?

Well, if you try to run the HDA Patcher, it will open and then close almost instantly........ I know, I had to reinstall and figure out what made the install work again..... So just install pc efi, and before you restart, run the patcher. Hopefully, it will stay patched! It has for me so far!

jjust keeping the topic at the top

Well, we got to come up with something else. Because this topic will have no point when that kext is released. It will die..... So lets talk about other issues we've had while we wait

is ethernet (not internet) working?

I tried the sigmatel 9227 dump with the 1.17 and 1.18 patcher. I get "Unsupported Sigmatel Codec" after you put it in the patcher. But you can mute and mute, volume icon shows up and Under Output in sound settings, it shows HD Audio Out but no sound comes from my speakers.

Im also trying to install Kaly 10.5 on my Gateway Cx2620..It has IDE hard drive with ACHI. Kaly boots fine but will not detect hard drive in Disk Utility. It shows that I have a hard disk in the System Profiler of the Dvd too, I just dunno why it wont show in Disk Util. It only shows the dvd rom which is ATA I think and the Kaly dvd which is inside.

What kind of video cards does everyone have?

Just asking. I'm thinking about whether I should replace mine. The 8800GT that I have in my sig (the S is a typo) was broken, I had to return it.

hi guys.. i'm currently using uphuck 1.4i r3 on my Quad 9200 and i'm thinking of moving to leopard.. i've just heard about the 8600gts compatibility in the 10.5.2 beta and since i have one that i pulled out of my 9200 when i first got it, i'm pretty excited about putting it back in..

at the moment i have a pretty stable setup that i use for music and audio production, but it has hit the point where i need to move to leopard..

could someone please talk me through how to install leopard using a standard leopard DVD and PC_EFI V8.0 and let me know which kexts/extensions/patches i will need - since i won't be using uphuck anymore..

..and is it possible/reccomended to upgrade to leopard from uphuck?

cheers..



i'm using an ASUS 7300GS, which works perfectly - with no mods - and i'm waiting for 10.5.2 to use my 8600GTS

I've got a NIVIDIA 8800 768mb card

omg... isn't that the maximum configuration of the XPS 410?

BluRay, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 8800GTX...

two words:

NICE HACKINTOSH

Ya, I'm Pretty Sure it Is!
What is your setup?

jups but can be extended more

Doesn't the 410 have 4 DIMM slots each which can take 2GB DIMMs?
(Or is it just the 420?)

come one guys it's christmas!!!

just a clue.. i'm sitting here with leopard, but i haven't got a f*cking clue how to get/install efi_pc 8.0 and then get/install the drivers that i need..

could someone PLEASE put up a quick how to and maybe upload a driver pack to rapidshare for me?
