guide for iDeneb 10.5.5 + p5k-e wifi +8800GT 512 + E8400

[krathkor]

u will need iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, kalyway 10.5.2

 

recommend trying this on a spare drive!!!

sata devices only! no IDE!

 

bios settings (same as kalyway, press del (forward delete on apple keyboard) at asus splash screen)

under 'main' set sata config to AHCI

under 'advanced' set jmicron controller mode to AHCI

under 'pci pnp' set plug and play to yes

under 'power' set 'suspend mode' to s3 only

 

boot to iDeneb 10.5.5

run disk utility and partition drive (make sure it's guid-options button-and mac osx extended journaled)

customise the install, check only these packages

 

languagetranslations (as needed/desired)

additionalfonts

x11user

iDeneb_patches_10.5.5-Audio-ADI1988.pkg

(this will give 2 channel audio, i don't know if it will give 5.1. you can try it or leave it out and install taruga1988 later)

iDeneb_patches_10.5.5-chipset-ichxfixed

iDeneb_patches_10.5.5-network-ethernet-skge

iDeneb_patches_10.5.5-Fix-applesmbios-smbios800/1066/1333 (whatever speed your ram is, or all three)

iDeneb_patches_10.5.5-Video-nvidia-nvinject-nvinject0.2.1_512mb.pkg

applications-(you will need pacifist if it is not on your backup, otherwise, as desired)

 

do not check any kernel, vanilla will be installed by default

 

install os and shutdown

attach your time machine backup drive, boot, and during setup transfer everything

 

your hackintosh may hang at the end of time machine transfer, at 99% or 100%

if it hangs WAIT and make sure disk activity has ended

hit command-q to quit

dialog will be either "are you sure you want to quit" or "do you want to shut down"

hit "yes"

if it shuts down, disconnect time machine and startup, it should startup normally and your user(s) should be there

you might be missing either network settings or some application support files, some applications may have to be reinstalled

if it does not shut down everything should be there

 

insert kalyway10.5.2 dvd or mount disk image

run pacifist, and select "open apple install discs"

using pacifist install the following 2 packages:

 

patches-timemachinefix_ionetworkingfamily.pkg

networldrivers-wificards-wifi_AP_realtek_RTL8187l_wifiaprealtek8187L.pkg

 

if you didn't install audio already, install Taruga_AD1988b_rev3 audio driver for full audio

 

if you have some older PPC apps you may get a carbonlib error

install CatbonLibFIX.pkg (note spelling) to fix

 

use software update and install all updates (except 10.5.6, 10.5.7 etc if out)

repair permissions and restart

 

getting time machine to work- format backup drive to guid/osx extended journaled and give it a different name than the previous one

go to system prefs/time machine

you may have to select/deselect/mount/unmount drive a couple times to get it started

wait for backup to finish

 

U R DONE

 

all hardware works, every app i've tried works, video stable for 3d gaming (unlike 10.5.2)

bugs: taruga audio: might buzz during boot; will stop after boot or after playing any sound
