Do You have a password? or did you just leave it blank. I know you get that error when no password is selected for that account. And to fix the waiting for root devices, do you had raid set to auto?

Hello,

I have an XPS 410 - Kalyway 10.5.2. I have tried ABSOLUTELY everything on these forums that I can find about getting audio to work on this. The AppleHDA Audio Patcher doesn't do a thing. I still have no sound icon and it says 'No Output devices found" in the audio control panel.

Anyone else have this problem at all and able to give some suggestions?

It's the only thing keeping me from using OSX full time on this machine.

Thanks

Use TOH leopard then the pc efi and 10.5.3 update instuctions at netkas.org and the HDA patcher. Kalyway gave me nothing but problems.

See this post and it will work: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=295155

KALYWAY SUCKS ON THE 410. use toh and follow the pc efi install instructions and the 10.5.3 upgrade instructions. and if still no go did u upgrade your vid card if thats the case tell me the model and we can get it fixed. i have helped many people with this issue.

sticman laugh all you want i just did it so the hackintosh users could use it.

10.5.4 is safe from software update

Hey all...

Been awhile since I've been on. Nice to see this thread is still alive.

So, I installed ToH, used the Best Post-Patch, and used Software Update to go to 10.5.1... I used netkas guide to upgrade to 10.5.2, although I used it for 10.5.4. It worked, but then I got the "root device" error rather than MACH_REBOOT. I then restored and tried 10.5.3 with the same method; same result. What am I missing? Why is the update breaking my install. By the way, I'm all vanilla with EFI; havent put in sound or nvinject yet.

Thanks in advance!

You dont need netkas instructions for 10.5.4 it works just fine from software update. And What post patch are you using. I never have had to use any post patch on Toh just had to boot to DVD and bless the drive after installation to get it to boot with out building a bridge from the DVD First. Then use netkas 10.5.2 method and the same for 10.5.3. There is nothing to you have to do with 10.5.4 but click update in software update. So Reinstall Toh then do the upgrades just as i said and it should fix your problem. And how did you use netkas instructions for 10.5.4? There Is no "install at start up" file created. Let me know if you need anything else

Perhaps I'm mistaken in my version numbers; it was a very long day yesterday, but I'm pretty sure it was 10.5.4. I do remember that two errors were trapped in terminal when power management was caught and deleted at 49% (this did not happen with 10.5.3 combo). This was a combo update from 10.5.1 to 10.5.4; not delta. As for the post patch, it was this thread -> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75974

I tried to go from 10.5.1 directly to 10.5.3 with a combo update using netkas guide. I will try 10.5.1 -> .2 -> .3 -> Delta 4 tonight and let you know. I appreciate the quick response.

Thanks!

P.s. You state I should go from ToH 10.5 to 10.5.2 using netkas; Should I also get the Vanilla kernel and PC_efi as per your instructions in this thread? -> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=0&p=529980

Yes follow thoes steps for the PC EFI and vanilla. If it still does not work try using a different copy of TOH and if still a no go i have Leo4all installed on my other 410 and it works pretty damn good as well.

What a nightmare! I spent hours trying every combination possible. Followed all the instructions to a T, and yet my Dell sat there laughing at me. It thinks "Still searching for root device" is the punch line to some hilarious joke. And like an annoying child it just kept repeating it.

Anyway... so can I run vanilla from Leo4All? Same process more or less?

Thanks in advance!

Yes Leo4all V2 lets you install vanilla right from the disk and it has a alot of drivers and fixes on the disk already. It Seems To Run Pretty Well.

I got Leo4All v3 and installed vanilla (no need to bless the drive - just worked). The nvidia inject worked spot on for my 8800 GT from BFG (what a plus!). Everything seems to be working, but no sound. Taruga's wiki site is suspended, so it's a no go for the patcher. I can't seem to find a version 1.2 anywhere on the net either. I thought the Azailia Audio option from install would have worked, but no joy. Any thoughts? Also, I read that the HDA patcher can mess with shut down on 10.5.4. I'd hate to go get USB audio when I have a perfectly good output panel on back.

What are you using for audio on your Leo4All box? What version: 10.5.2, .3, or .4?

Here is the HDA patcher. This is the one that i use. If no go i can give the premodded kext.

And My Leo4all is up to date at 10.5.4 and running great.

I'm 10.5.4 with sound and all is well! I could have saved hours just going the Leo4All route to begin with. Oh well. Thanks for all the help bigdaddy.

Anyway... a year ago I tried to get eSata to work on my box but it was a no go. The card had MAC drivers though. I wonder if it would work now? Would be nice to run time machine on an eSata.

Cant tell ya if eSATA will work or not. dont have and esata drives.

Please Remember Fellow XPS 410-ions Pay your traffic tickets ON TIME. Jail Sucks, Cops Suck. Dealing with a pissed of wife after she bails you out is the worst of all.

Thats fine, but I just hope you didn't forget to include the driver for 82566 into that ...



What were you doing while you were inside the jail? Hmm, let me guess, I think you were planning the driver for 82566 network card , isn't it?

QUIT TRYING START A FLAME WAR JUST CHILL OUT

Maybe they confiscated the driver off him...

Did everyone here that has 10.5.4 install it via the official Apple software update or what?

yes. from 10.5.3 but my HDD has to be in AHCI mode. it won't boot in IDE mode

Well my hackintosh took a {censored} today, i need to get it back up and running so i can backup my information....

I tried to start up, it goes through the xps stuff and stops, i get message 1 and 2 on the front bezzle of the machine, can anyone help me out? my life is on that drive... agh

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f7/Jmila1901/PIC-0309.jpg

This is the screen im getting, please someone come to the rescue! I need my machine for school tomorrow :X

Did you install some kind of hardware recently? According to the Dell diagnostic codes, lights 1 and 2 mean "A possible expansion card failure has occurred."

Here's the link to the doc: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/syst...t.htm#wp1056411

Start unplugging stuff and trying just your DVD and Harddrive, Video card and ram

ok as soon as i get home i will start unplugging things.... I havent installed anything crazy lately, umm i tried another mouse but then went back to my old one and i may have plugged in my bluetooth adapter but i took that off...

Ive been running on the same setup for three months now...

Fixed! I dont know what was wrong with it, but it works now! I dont even know how i fixed it

I wanted to know how efficient time machine is at backing things up, i have a spare drive identical to the one im using to run osx and i was thinking about using it as a slave and filling it with the time machine backups... will it backup my vmware fusion files too? How about the application itself?

Or better yet, how could i set up a raid?

I had that problem too. Don't know what went wrong but i just left it for 10 minutes and it eventually booted. However every subsequent boot was just as slow until i formatted the disk with the problem. I think some part of the boot sector got corrupted and it drove the Intel AHCI manager crazy.

Time machine will back up everything in your user account and your applications. The VMWare disks are in your user account from what i remember.

Anyone with Time Machine working - how did you get it working? Mine gives me some weird error. There's probably a kext I need but I'm not sure which one.

I'm on Kalyway 10.5.3 btw...

I have been using Time Machine for about two days now. I have a 500GB SATA drive that was one Vista partition. I shrank the Vista partition to 300GB and gave the Mac 200GB to use.

When I originally tried to get Time Machine to run, I kept getting an error message that I couldn't solve. I wish I could remember the exact error message, but I failed to write it down. I made sure I had all of the updates but 10.5.4 and it finally worked. After I had about a days worth of backups, I went ahead with the 10.5.4 update through the Software Update tool. It worked just fine. (BTW--I did the original install from Kaly's 10.5.2 DVD, then used Kaly's 10.5.3 upgrade)

My suggestion is: get all of the updates you can and make sure that you're using Time Machine on a disk that's completely separate from your main system disk. I actually run my OS from an external USB drive, and things run quite efficiently.

same here. i have tried to format HDD's but no change so i have tried to install windows bootloader, then ubuntu and then again Mac OS but no go. looks like i have to live with it. it started after month ago when i tried to defragment my drives (don't ask me why ) and it f.... up my partition table so i reinstalled mac os and tried Chameleon DFE for HDD from kaly with which my efi strings didn't work so i reinstalled PC_EFI from netkas and voila! i have to wait and wait and wait but not everytime

today i wiped out mac os and installed windows because of that BIOS waiting problem so i have turned on NIC in BIOS but it just doesn't work. i get "NIC Failure" message after all RAID BIOS crap so i would like to know if it's the same with all you guys having that waiting problem.

My onboard NIC still works fine. It might be a different hardware problem. Or it may be that your onboard NIC is conflicting with you PCI NIC.

Did you fix the waiting at the RAID BIOS screen? In my case it wasn't caused by a drive Mac OS was on or could even see. It was caused by my RAID drive that booted windows.

EDIT: Do you have the latest bios?

i have unplugged everything but NIC still didn't work. leds are permanently on.
i have formated all hdd's. reinstalled mac os and "waiting problem" was gone but it was back after 2 days. i also tried to flash older BIOS and then latest again but that didn't help so now i'm on linux and no waiting

Got speedstep working with vanilla kernel by using IntelEnhancedSpeedStep_1.3.2.kext and tuxx_SpeedStep_improved_beta from http://code.google.com/p/xnu-speedstep/
and sleep with vanilla by using EHCISleepEnabler from http://www.superhai.com/darwin.html. only problem i have is that

sleep -> wake = sound no go
but after
sleep -> wake -> sleep -> wake sound works again and then sleep -> wake = sound works -> sleep -> wake = sound works...

"System Preferences" - "Energy Saver" - "Schedule..." - "Start up or wake"/"Sleep" works

Hi,

If anybody here is still waiting for the 82566 kext, this is available now from dingguijin

http://techresearchinfo.blogspot.com/

at last bigdaddy may rest in peace.

I was waiting for this.......
You sir, are a gentleman, thanks for informing those that need it!

Have you tried it, does it work?


SticMAN

yup, I'm using it now to post this!

oh well my 82566DC is dead but i got my LifeCam VX-6000 working muahahaha http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=129713

I'm back again
Anyways, anyone know how to update to 10.5.3 from kalyway 10.5.2? Yes I read your posts Rob and it's sort of a hassle going through that much trouble to install efi (LOL i'm lazy). Of course, there's always OSx86tools. But anyways I've already tried the ToH installer and it won't work for me.
When I try update from Kalyway the whole OS crashes at 40% copied. No matter if I choose 10.5.3, or 4 or 5. Then I get "Still waiting for root device" and it's a "hybrid" install that doesn't work.
Anyone have any news on using boot-132? I'm curious as to whether that will work on XPS410 but I want to keep windows until I know that it'll definitely work, because it'll take maybe 4 hours to do that.
Or maybe I should try iATKOS v4
The 82566 driver works great, while I had 10.5.2 it went smoothly until that stupid install.

EDIT: Ooops, ToH isn't 10.5.2! it's 9a581 (forgot)
So.... now what?

@frantisheq. How did you succeed in making the rear microphone working? I used HDApatcher 1.16 + EFI to get the speakers work but now I try yo use the rear microphone line in and it fails.... Any idea. Hackintosh only sees the internal microphone which doesn't work.

Thx

Hey folks. Great forum.

I have a Dell XPS 410 and before I delve into this, I wonder whether it'd be worth it or not:

Core 2 Duo E6600
ATI Radio X1300/X1550
Creative Labs SB X-Fi
Dell 24" 2407WFP Widescreen LCD Monitor
Logitech 2.1 X230 speakers/subwoofer
Linksys WUSB54GC Wireless adapter

Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1
Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000

Can anyone see at a glance any irremediable conflicts? I've been reading this thread and it looks like different configurations of the XPS 410 have been used in this adventure. I'm curious to see whether mine can run mostly successfully with Kalyway or iDeneb. I'm also concerned I might overwrite some of my existing HD data if I partition it if I do a MacOS install.

Thanks to anybody who knows enough to reply!

looks like no deep sleep for us. i also tried to change hibernatemode ( http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html ) but no go

Has anyone tried the "JaS OSx86 10.5.4 Client Server Intel SSE2 SSE3" install on their XPS 410 yet? I'm downloading it now, was just wondering...

Updated to 10.5.6
