I tried removing JMicronATA.kext and did nothing, I still have JMicron JMB36x AHCI ports listed in System Profiler and boot crashes if I enable AHCI/RAID for JMicron in BIOS, and I still have a missing IDE DVD drive.

Which other SATA drivers should I try (without reinstalling and without accesing the iAtkos disc)?

 

I've never had much luck removing or adding kexts post install. I've always just done a fresh install. This install moves much quicker than others so it's less of an ordeal. I'm still relatively new to most of this myself.

Does anyone knows how to make the keyboard and palmrest work on a dell laptop e1705???

it kinda sucks not to be able to use my laptop keyboard and palmrest... ;)

 

thanks in advanced

 

:)

 

I don't know about the palm rest but if your keyboard is PS2 like mine you may need to select one of the x86 drivers, or enablers that supports PS2.

 

As in the tutorial try to avoid the PS2 driver as that "is not recommended for upgradable systems"

 

Hope that helps

argh i used to have a fairly useable iAtkos 4i install on my dell inspiron 1520 laptop...

 

what do i select for it?

i have a broadcom 440x ethernet

nvidia geforce 8600m gt 256mb....

not sure bout the sound card....

core2duo 7600 i think? (2.4ghz)

3gb ram...

1590 wifi card i think...

any ideas? half way through my second install and i'm getting pisd off...

 

i have acpi enabled on my last stock install... worked well nice with a guid partition table...

I did a reinstall from scratch, now selecting only the Intel SATA AHCI drivers in the customize section. The results are mostly the same, I dont have no DVD drive detected.

However even though I didnt install the JMicron drivers I do have 2 JMicron SATA ports listed in System Profiler.

Does the Intel AHCI SATA driver support JMicron SATA AHCI too?

Why do I have SATA AHCI ports detected if I have the BIOS setup as IDE mode only for the JMicron?

If its not the Intel Driver how do I find out which driver is responsible for those ports?

 

EDIT: just to add that if I boot with the JMicron ports in AHCI/RAID mode in BIOS I get a boot crash

I have a Dell XPS M1330 with Intel GMA X3100. I installed iAtkos 5i last night, but I can't boot into the OS. Once the boot loader comes up, I select Mac OS, it goes through all the necessary loading, a blue screen comes up for like 2 seconds, and then it goes black.

 

I've tried the following options when installing:

1. Intel Graphics Update - causes the same problem

2. Intel X3100 driver + Natik - same problem

3. No VGA selection when installing - same problem

 

Is there any way to get me to load the OS? I even tried the -X option and I still get the black screen.

glad that worked. Did you try the update to 10.5.6 yet? some have reported missing info after the update. I had issues with my sound driver which is ALC268 and now I can't shut down. It doesn't look like there's a patch yet to make that happen above 10.5.4 so I guess we'll see what happens. For now I have to hold the power button down.

I'm a bit perplexed. I think the problem might be in having the correct chipset driver. Have you checked what your north and south bridge read? I use a program called siw.exe that you can find through google. It gives you all of the hardware specs, and device id's for your hardware. I know that most intel chipsets are supported ie: ICH chipsets on the south bridge. If you're running a desktop you can see what type of pci card has a supported chipset for your ide drives, or if your sata drives are working you could try to get a sata dvd drive. If it's a laptop you might be temporarily SOL. With my laptop I have two sata hard drives supported with the AHCI SATA driver, but my dvd drive is an ide, and the only ide/ATA driver that seems to work is the jmicron eventhough from any system diagnostics I've done I don't even see that I have jmicron hardware.

 

Sorry that probably wasn't much help but I'm still a bit of a noob myself. I custom built a desktop based off of the hardware compatibility list I read in this forum. With my laptop I think I've mostly just lucked out except with graphics not being supported through EFI and my sound having no shut down fix above 10.5.4 (ALC268). For now the updates from apple work with no patching and if you get that right mix yourself hopefully it'll be smoother sailing for you as well.

 

Cheers!

* WONDERFUL *

Works perfect with my P35-DS3L and 8600 GT 256MB.

 

Following options:

Thanks for your help Chris. I did what you suggested but it did not work for me.

 

I tried to reinstall 10.5.5 from scratch and i finally got it to work straight from the iATKOS v5i DVD with the following options :

 

PC EFI v9

AppleDecrypt

SMBIOS-EFI

Vanilla Kernel

Stock ACPI Modified

RemovePowerManagement.kext

OHR

Remove Thermal Kext

Graphics Update

EFI Strings for NVIDIA 8600 GT 256mb

Intel SATA

JMicron

NTFS-3G

 

I had huge problems with Quartz Extreme not being supported. I changed a bunch of options and now it's fine.

( i think the ACPI x86 was an issue and/or disabler ).

 

I haven't tried onboard audio or LAN since i don't care for those.

My wireless board works fine and i am using external USB audio.

I manage to fix the missing IDE DVDROM drive by installing an alternative JMicronATA.kext I got from OSX86 Tools, it reads same v1.0 on Get Info but this one makes my DVD Drive appear and work without troubles, except for the fact that the drive makes some weird noises every few minutes, like the drive is being polled or turned off or reinitialized somehow (more or less the same sound it makes when you press the reset button).

OTOH I applied the 10.5.6 Update and it worked without any hitch, amazing.

I only have some troubles with the VIA PCI USB/1394 card, the firewire drive is not being detected half of the time, it looks like the controller doesnt know the drive engine is off (its an external drive that powers-off the platters engine after a certain amount of time) and it doesnt now how to make it turn on when you boot, so the drive still shows but as unknown device and it doesnt mount. And half of the time the Via USB controllers are not being detected properly.

And I also get the weird _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35 error message on the system log that I'm still not sure how to fix or if I need to do it (everything seems to work...)

thanks for the feedback. that initialize is normal but the period should be longer than 5 min, about 1 hour on my rigs. I am also using pci via firewire but I only have audio firewire device and working without problems.

can you send me the jmicron kext you are using?

1- This DVD is designed for Intel architectures.

Minimum requirements: Intel Core CPU, 1GB RAM, 15GB free space on target partition, nVidia 6xxx or newer - ATI X1300 or newer - Intel GMA950 or X3100 VGA card.

 

2- This DVD includes Apple's Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5 (9F33) installation.

 

3- Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one posted on our website. Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly.

 

 

 

Information:

 

- This OSX86 installation DVD release supports both GPT and MBR partitioned harddrives.

 

- The major improvement on this 5i release is updating your running system using software updater just like real Macs. This is possible for Intel based chipsets. Please read the information about preparing an upgradable system below.

 

- Main system is fully stock! That means it can't run on x86 hardware without selecting none of x86 patches. At least you need to choose one of the decrypters.

 

 

Installation:

 

1- Run Disk Utility via Utilities menu and erase the target partition for clean install. Do partitioning if you need to.

 

a- You can choose MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (Guid Partition Table) via partitioning options. If you want to change your existing partition table type, note that all your existing data on disk will be gone.

b- For Windows fellows that has not tested this amazing system yet and that does not want to loose their windows software, porn and virus&trojan archive on D:\, should use Parted Magic Live CD for preparing an active primary target partition and after that, just erase it via diskutil. Jump to Step 2.

 

2- Select the destination for installation.

 

3- Click Customize*** and select what you need.

 

4- Click Install.

 

Install time is about 20 minutes.

 

 

*** Customize section is the most important part of the installation for you to make OS X work on your hardware.

 

Customize:

 

- iATKOS Main system: If you want to install the osx86 main system, you need to select this.

- Bootloader: You have 2 choices. You must select one of them for booting your osx86 system. PC_EFI V9 is an "all in one" bootloader and has many options. The most important ones are DSDT override, external kexts and the 64bit mode (snow leo only). DSDT override will be needed for the upcoming updates, otherwise osx86 systems will have kernel panic due to new RTC driver. "External kexts" option allows users to use external location for their special drivers (/Extra/Extensions), this will protect them from the updates. iATKOS v5i installation has all the needed scripts and packages for you to prepare an upgradable system and update like real Macs, but you need to read the information about preparing an upgradable system below.

The other choice is Chameleon v1.0.11. This is compatible for most systems, users whom want to have a normal old-style osx86 system may choose this bootloader.

- Decrypters: You must select one of the decrypters for your x86 hardware.

- SMBIOS: You need to select one of the enablers or classic x86 SMBIOS drivers. Enablers allow your system to run on stock SMBIOS driver and this is also a must for upgradable systems. x86 patched SMBIOS' are for normal old style osx86 systems.

- Kernel: You can choose 9.5.0 voodoo, 9.5.0 fassl kernel or old 9.2.0 toh kernel which is compatible for most.

For upgradable systems, the custom kernel you selected will be protected after applying the update, which means you will be running on new System.kext + your old 9.x.0 custom kernel which is not right. System must run on System.kext that belongs to your kernel version. So, you will need to replace new System.kext with your old System.kext, otherwise you will not able to use none of USB devices. You can find your custom kernel's System.kext under /Library/Temp. New updated one is in /System/Library/Extensions folder. Do not forget to repair the disk permissions using Disk Utility.

If you want to switch to stock kernel when running upgradable system, then you need to edit com.apple.Boot.plist file under /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. You need to change the value ''custom'' to ''mach_kernel'' and reboot. Don't forget to use the same System.kext version with your running kernel. For normal iATKOS osx86 systems you need to check /Library/Backups folder for the stock kernel and replace it with the existing kernel on your root.

- ACPI: Main system includes stock ACPI driver. You can choose modified ACPI for shutdown/reboot problems and also you can select OHR driver for such issues. You can choose x86 modified ACPI driver for PS2 mouse/keyboard and also PS2 driver can sure manage that but it is not a good choice for upgradable systems. You may need to select APIC driver for some mobo.

- Disabler: This driver disables some problematic drivers, you may not need this for PC_EFI V9 systems but this can still be usefull for most systems.

- Remove PowerManagement: This removes the most problematic driver. You do not need it if you select Disabler or if you are on PC_EFI V9 bootloader.

- PS/2: Driver for PS/2 keyboard/mouse. You will need to modify the Info.plist of ACPIPS2Nub.kext for the update's ACPI version before applying main system update, otherwise your ps2 mouse/keboard will not work. For upgradable systems, I advice you to use x86 ACPI driver instead of this.

- OHR: Driver for freeze issues on shutdown/reboot. Modified ACPI driver can be an alternative for this.

- Drivers: Additional drivers for your setup. Read the descriptions.

 

*********Preparing an Upgradable System**********

 

A profile is given below, first four items are musts for upgradable systems, the rest are for additional setups. Read carefully. Intel chipsets have more chance for success.

- Main System

- PC EFI V9 Bootloader

- One of the Decrypters

- One of the SMBIOS Enablers

- It is better to use the stock kernel. If any custom kernel is selected then you will need to replace the System.kext with the one in /Library/Temp after applying the update.

- For PS2 mouse/keyboard it is better to select x86 ACPI driver instead of PS2 driver.

- Speedstepping support may be problematic for upgradable systems without Disabler. But you can use it safely with Disabler.

- GMA950-a will fail after update, GMA950-b or efi string should be selected for such systems.

 

 

Multiboot:

 

iATKOS 5i has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easy.

 

Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Win-Linux.

 

- MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to MBR (msdos type) and create 3 primary partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 for the others.

(Note: %99.99999 of the PC harddrives already have MBR partition map scheme (msdos type) which you can change it to GPT via Parted Magic CD or iATKOS Disk Utility if you like to.)

 

- Add boot flag to Vista or Linux target and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, do not install bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root. If you want linux to take the boot control then you need to install its bootloader to MBR.

 

- Boot iATKOS 5i DVD and install OS X to its target as usual.

 

- You may need to repair Vista. Add boot flag to Vista partition, boot Vista DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS X partition, thats all.

 

Now you have triple boot on MBR.

 

Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot.

 

- GPT (Guid Partition Table) triple boot -

 

- Change your partition table type to GPT (Guid Partition Table) and create 3 partitions by using iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 (msdos) for the others.

 

- Boot Windows Media and install it to its Fat32 target partition.

(Note: Vista might not detect the hybrid partition table as XP does If so it will refuse to install the OS on the target. The trick is just try to format the other partition and then select your real target again for installation, you will see that it will success this time. No need to worry, it will not erase any data that time, because it cannot even detect the MBR part of the hybrid but this trick solves it.)

 

- Boot Linux media and install the OS. If you want OS X to take the control of booting then install Linux bootloader to Linux root. If you want Linux to take the control then install it to MBR (actually the MBR of msdos part of the hybrid partition table) and you will need to change the install order also. The one which will take the boot control should be the last one to be installed.

(Note: Some live linux cd stuff (knoppix, kanotix, parsix, etc.) has built-in installer applications and they use gparted for partitioning and formatting targets. At this point, formatting target to linux fs via Gparted is not a good choice because it may break the hybrid partition table, use unix fdisk just for changing the target partition type from ''c0'' to ''83'' which is linux partition type, then you can continue installation.)

 

- Boot iATKOS 5i DVD and install OS X as usual.

 

Now you have triple boot on GPT, thats all.

 

 

 

Known Issues:

 

- This dvd may not include all the necessary drivers required by your setup. Additional steps may be needed to be taken by the user to setup and use such components.

 

 

Unsuccessful Installation and Related Symptoms:

 

 

- System freezes at grey screen by booting from DVD.

 

--> You probably have an unsupported chipset.

*965 or newer chipset ASUS or MSI motherboard/laptop

*many VIA, SIS, ATI chipset motherboards

~ start with cpus=1 -v

~ Play with BIOS settings, turn off 1 core

~ There are modified BIOS' for Intel 965 and newer ASUS/MSI motherboards

demos - not AppleDecript

I disabled AHCI in bios and selected Intel SATA

added graphics drivers and it is up and running.

I have internet, but havent tested anything else.

no speakers attached so I dont know about sound yet.

 

Strange why mine is so different, but it is working.

and 8400 is working at correct resolution

 

I let apple update it to 10.5.6 and everything seems to still be working.

I off to create my quad boot, will let you all know when everything is done.

 

Thank Everyone
