wxxhrt Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi I just upgraded my P5WDH based hackintosh from a Core2Duo E6450/2gb ram to a q6600 with 8gb ram and swapped out a crappy 7300gt for an 8600gt... i was smiling until it wouldn't boot. Im not sure if i'm meant to change any bios settings (ver.2406) as im now running 4 cores but everything boots into xp fine. I thought it might be something to do kernel flags so after pressing f8 during boot ive tried cpus=1 and fsb=266 but no avail... ive run boot with -s which brings me into terminal style osx fine and -v which hangs after something about vmnet? I was hoping id missed something obvious? any ideas? Thanks, Will (Running kalyway 10.5.1 upgraded to 10.5.2 with vanilla kernel) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118466-asus-p5w-dh-q6600-after-upgrade-wont-boot-edit8600gt-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Try to go on your BIOS for see if your quad is recognize right off the bat. After try to update (make a double check of your settings).

wxxhrt Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Bios is recognising the Q6600 and the Ram, ive double checked my bios settings but found that its the 8600gt thats messing things up as osx bots with my 7300gt in the same configuration. Ive updated my nvinject.kext to version 2.1 and removed caches and extensions.mkext but osx still wont boot it gets to the loading screen with the spinning grey spinning circle then tries to jump into osx proper but just hangs. might it be something to do with having the nvdanv50.kext's and the nvdaresman.kext in my extensions folder and nvinject getting in the way with these? Or could it be something to do with having to insert my device id into nvinject- im using an xfx 8600gt fatality (the silent one) which is maybe too new for nvinject\??? Hope someone can help, cheers Will Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118466-asus-p5w-dh-q6600-after-upgrade-wont-boot-edit8600gt-problems/#findComment-839872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Men ,it's possible your device id in osx is wrong and you chould change it! Or simply adding strings to your apple.boot.plist?
