cocor Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hey guys, I tried that update and everything works fine for me now on 10.5.5, except QE/CI. I think it isn't working anymore cause I don't have the option to turn transparency in the menu bar on / off anymore. I'm using a Geforce 8800GT 1024MB. Can anyone help me? PS: Can I install Security Updates etc. now? Thanks, Tobias E: Okay, no problem.

Mysticus C* Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 linkdead: isnt the nvinject worked? have u tried nvkush? if not try only the post patch with nvkush this time... see if it helps with your gfx card... moreover pci slot issue is something else, what is the device that is not working in pci slot? also if you have only ide/pata drives in your system, you can use VIA drivers to test it out but that is another thing, if you know how to edit plist files... also i suppose you never read my nforce topic? 4 gb memory is a nogo for nforce until now... there is a temporary fix but that is another testing for you if you want... which is here but dont go for it yet until you get things working fine... take 2 gb memory off... that is one of your main issues in nforce mobo!!! for restoring test partition? you can do the process otherway around now... once the test partition working... start from test partition, and apply things to main, sinceyou are only doing update, it should not kill the bootloader... another way is to restore test partition to main one, and after that use osx86tools to restore bootloader... but it is risky and u may loose bootloader...

POWerSUrgeSW3 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ok so if I missed this, I'm sorry. I have been working on this project for 6 weeks now, trying to get the Mac OSX on my XPS M1330. Here's where I'm at. I tried doing the old 1.1.3a patch, and I could successfully get my system updated from Leo4Allv3 10.5.2 (because it's the only installer I can actually boot from without my system stopping at at IOAPCI during booting the installer disc) to 10.5.5 but I would have a lot of issues with kernel panics and would have to reboot a bunch to get the system to load. Not to mention that I could not get my STAC9228 to work at all. I've tried doing the delta updates from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. With that I can successfully get to 10.5.4 (using the terminal to delete the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and editing the "1" script). When I would update then to 10.5.5 the system would not boot. Now with the release of 1.1.4 I thought there was hope. Now when I run that installer my keyboard and mouse do not work. I can hit the power button and the "shutdown" window would come up. If I plug in a USB keyboard and mouse they work. Other things I've tried is mixing the Dell Post Installer with MC's Pre/Post patches for the 10.5.5 combo update. Trying to mix and match things, but I can not figure out why I loose the keyboard and mouse after installing MC's patches for the 10.5.5 combo update. I've tried installing nothing but either 9.5 kernel up to no installing the kernel and just installing system functions. Tried installing the ACPI for bad BIOSes and not, USB stuff, etc. I have noticed after the 10.5.5 update, on reboot, I no longer see the ApplePS2Trackpad for my Syantec mousepad for the laptop. On that thought I even tried the PS2 battery meter on and off, just attempting to see if that would help... no go. Any suggestions please advise. And again if I missed a post through the 17 pages of this thread explaining how to fix this... sorry and please point me in the right direction. ~PSSW3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109102-complete-updates-for-newbies-and-all-currently-1055-combo-only-intel-cpus/page/67/#findComment-936729 Share on other sites More sharing options...

petarpetrov Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 all this patch is missing a lot of drivers. for example most common gma950 is not there. that is the thing that trashed my install. although rest of the things worked nicely. so reinstalled and back to 10.5.2 kalyway Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109102-complete-updates-for-newbies-and-all-currently-1055-combo-only-intel-cpus/page/67/#findComment-936937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 "missing a lot of drivers". sheesh, what have you done to help? How about posting a list of the drivers you need for your system to work? Then maybe Mysticus C will include them in his patcher, and it will work for you too. Try again, but this time run the patcher and don't install any video drivers, then boot into safe mode. From there you can (hopefully) find the fixes to get back video acceleration on 10.5.5. I had to do that to get anywhere after updating. It seems there are many little things that have changed since 10.5.2 in how the OS talks to your video card. I couldn't get any of the injectors I had used before, or my old EFI GFX string to work at all after updating. Luckily I found NVDarwin. I'm glad I only had to go from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5, I don't think I could have made it successfully from 10.5.2. Or if I had, I would probably be bald by now. Thanks to Mysticus C, I still have some hair left on my head.

I also said something in the post#1 if you have read it carefully, it says: If anyone was using additional patches and/or workarounds before, please let me know these files, I will make an additional package for installing these files for you... And hopefully can add them to the current update package to include them as well for later usage... did you see that at all? Also I made a brick free guide, i doubt you read the entire post#1 aka guide post!!!

bl33k3r Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hey Mysticus C*, you helped me very much the last few months to get a nice and fully working OSX on my nForce-system. Now I am tired of the long boot times and some other nForce-Problems (Updating, LAN...). I'm thinking about to buy a Gigabyte EP35-DS4 to install OSX with EFI+Vanilla Kernel. I thought I should ask you, because it seems to me that you have experiences with both systems. Besides some minor problems the system is running fine, but as mentioned, I wanna try Vanilla... Is it a wise consideration or just waste of time and money? P.S.: Of course anybody is welcome to give me an advice.

Hey MC, and the world. Sorry I know I feel like such a noob after that post. It was my 4th straight weekend with playing with this thing, I'm just getting to the point of being burnt out. System stats: Dell XPS M1330 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, Chipset: Intel PM965, Memory: 4GB DDR2 667, Video: nVidia 8400M GS 128MB (works), HD: SATA 250GB 7200RPM, Audio: Sigmatel STAC9228 (works), Communication: Dell Wireless 1395 (works), Broadcom Ethernet (notworking), Bluetooth (works), SD Reader:Ricoh r5c833 (haven't tested), Media: Built-in 1.2MP webcam (works), OS: Leo4Allv3 10.5.2 updated to 10.5.5 To answer your other question. In the version 1.1.3a you had I did not need to use the PS2 Battery Meter fix. But of course the problem I was having with that was the kernel would panic one of the processors on bootup, and it would take several hard reboots until I could get the OS loaded. I did try the PS2 Batter Meter option with the 1.1.4 version though, and still no keyboard and mouse. I have learned to pair my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse before doing the update though, so I still have access to the computer. It is very weird. I have read some other posts about loosing the keyboard and mouse and to backup several Kext files, nothing. I even tried running the Dell Post-Installer and choosing all my options again to see if that would fix, nothing. I noticed that when I did the 1.1.4 Post Installer that the ApplePS2Controller.kext was put into a backup folder. I tried coping that back to the extensions folder, still no go. Here's a run down of how I'm loading the OS (this is the guide I have been writing for myself to keep track of where I'm at with options): Leo4Allv3 MacOSX v10.5.2 Install Options: • Select ONLY Vanilla kernel v9.2.2 • Leave AboutThisMac and Good-Applications (This one is a personal option, it's applications added by the created of the CD) Install Dell Post-Installer Options: • Sound: Sigmatel 9228 • Network: Dell Wireless 1395 • Power Management: All options • Lid Sleep throws an error about loading at startup, still working on figuring that one out. • Trackpad Scrolling: Mess with this, it seems scrolling works with one finger but the tap feature is messed up. • Other: Safe updates After install is complete, close installer. Copy AppleHDA.kext to /System/Library/Extensions folder. Verify if there is a HDAEnabler.kext file, if not also copy that from within the STAC9228 folder to the Extensions folder. Run Disk Utility and do a Repair Permissions on the Hard Drive the MacOSX is installed on. Reboot PreInstaller, OSX 10.5.5 Combo update, PostInstaller – Make sure all 3 files are copied to the desktop of your Mac: • PreInstaller and OSX 10.5.5 Combo update are installed normally – and in that order; PostInstaller is customized • Kernel: 9.5.0 Vanilla Kernel with Shutdown Fix • Chipset: ICHx AHCI-JmicronAHCI-PIIX • Video: nVidia - NVkush • Audio: Just Restore Audio • Network: Just Restore Network • System Functions: USB 2.0, Uncheck AppleACPI • Additional Fixes: IOPlatformPluginFamily 3.0.0dll Run Disk Utility and do a Repair Permissions on the Hard Drive the MacOSX is installed on. Reboot ------------------------ Aside from that I have tried running the Dell Post Installer after I reboot after the 10.5.5 update, nothing. I've tried not selecting any options for the 1.1.4 Post Installer aside from the Kernel (or my system won't boot). I've tried mismatching options like installing the USB, but not the Additional Fixes, even tried installing the AppleACPI with the Vanilla kernel, no go. I've tried loading the system straight, doing delta updates to 10.5.4 then using doing the combo update process for 10.5.5. I've even tried replacing the 10.5.5 update itself from Apple with the Delta 10.5.5 update from Apple to see if that would have any affect. So I'm lost. I'm too new at this to start pulling the mpkg files apart and rebuilding them myself. Not to mention I lost the 1.1.3a version of the Pre/Post installer to have somethig to even compare to. My next attempt is just backing up the whole extensions folder and dropping that back down after the 10.5.5 Post Installer and just working backwards. If only it didn't take so long to install the OS! I am very greatful for any help anyone can offer! I feel like I'm the one off from everyone because I can't follow the standard XPS m1330 guides anymore since I have my whole computer replaced by Dell around a month ago. Something new that could be causing me problems maybe... on a while off thought... ~PSSW3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109102-complete-updates-for-newbies-and-all-currently-1055-combo-only-intel-cpus/page/67/#findComment-937813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I've already taken a look at Verdant's topic and it is really promising... Do you think nForce-Chipsets will be more compatible cause of the nVidia parts in the new MacBooks? Btw I definitely need one, my 12" PB is getting out of puff... I will think about it over again switching to Intel. As always, thanks for your help. //EDIT: The performance isn't the problem, my system needs more than 3-4 minutes to boot. Really annoying... But it seems that it will be possible to use more than 2 GB of RAM, that would be cool. Is there a hackintosh-limitation of RAM on Intel's mobos (using 6GB would be great)?
