why i can't gram video from dv devices if [...] ?

I have a MacBook at the office, the last model with 1394. I'll update it tomorrow and

report back to you.

MacBook updated cleanly. still accepts DV stream into QuickTimePro from

my two cameras. So, sorry, your problem is deeper.

 

Your SystemProfiler can see the camera as a firewire device, but you

still need 1394-Digital-Video transport handlers. IOFireWireAVC.kext is

a likely candidate. Inside it are strange hex strings for "PluginTypes"

and a IOFireWireMagicMatchingNub. Sounds like black magic to me :whistle:

I looked at the log you provided but I can't tell what is wrong. Partly, because you didn't say anything about your system and didn't tell me what the symptoms are.

 

Don't forget, when I was working on my system, I had the on-screen messages from the kernel panic, the content of the windowserver.log, the system log, and some idea what I was doing when it failed.

 

If you put all that information together and review it for a while you will most likely see what could be causing your problem yourself.

 

Update went as usual, nothing was wrong. Boot caches were updated before restart.

All went as usual!

Here's my windowserver.log. I'll be very glad if it'll help you to find the reason!

Thanks for your help!

I can't tell what is wrong. I would point out though that both times you have asked for help you have not bothered to mention what problem you have.

  • Black Screen after reboot but now have full QE and CI on Intel GMA X3100 after reinstalling Leopard 1.0 Update with Pacifist.

You have no idea how grateful I am for that small bit of information. I was having problems with blue screen hanging, freezing, artifacts, QE, etc. I tried everything I came across but using the Graphics update worked straight away.

Sorry for the help i asked!!

I've mentioned that my problem is failing graphics. By the way you have the same problem.

I've sent you my logs and asked to look it because i can't see what causes my problem.

 

Thanks for your advice anyway! I've got a little bit of experience.

@jayman30 & Ikahrus: you don't have to reinstall Leopard Graphics Update (i.e. use previous versions of AppleIntelGMAX3100), I'm pretty sure substituting AppleIntelGMAX3100FB with your backup would suffice, at least that worked for me. The problem is that I my laptop display doesn't wake up properly no matter which kexts I use. My Graphics Card is a GMA965/X3100 Vendor ID 2a02 rev.c with max analysis 1680x1050.

Updating from 10.5.5 went well after fixing a few problems that were mostly due to me not really knowing what I was doing and not reading enough before I started.

 

Because Brazil is more than big butts and barbecue, here is a walkthrough or a collection of tips or whatever you want to call it, maybe you want to call it "Lars", mostly for those who are not on Vanilla installs using Boot-132 and have Intel CPUs but can't or don't want to run vanilla kernel. Even if you can run Vanilla, the Voodoo kernel surpasses Apple's own kernel and is a worthy alternative...that's what I think...read the .pdf manual and make up your own mind.

 

Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge and discoveries on the forums.

 

I'll assume you already know how to install, delete and otherwise handle Kernel EXTensions.

I use PCWiz' OSX86Tools. Only thing it doesn't do for you is replace kexts that are inside the plugin folder of the kexts whose name end in the word "family" - you'll have to do that by hand. When replacing kexts by hand, remember to fix permissions from the terminal or from disk utility before rebooting, and then reboot with the -f switch to rebuild the kext cache. Follow the link below to get the latest version of OSX86Tools.

 

Download the full 10.5.6 combo update from Apple just to be on the safe side.

 

Do not use Software Update! Even people with real macs have problems when installing the update from there.

 

Backup your modified kexts. If you don't know which of your kexts are modified, good luck to you!!

 

(Hint: in some OSx86 distributions the kexts that are pre-modified have their names in different colors - or they have a corresponding folder below them with the original, unmodified kexts' contents inside. Depending on where you're coming from and where you're going, you might not need them for 10.5.6 though. While I was on 10.5.5, I replaced most of the modified ones with original Apple kexts with no problems)

 

Patch DSDT using DSDTPatcher GUI (again just to be on the safe side - apparently not everybody needs to do it? I'll look into it..) and Install PCIEFI v9 Chameleon Edition 1.0.12 using the Universal OSX86 Installer. Get the latest version of these amazing tools here:

http://######.com/index.php?option=...1&Itemid=48

 

The patch must be named "DSDT.aml" for the bootloader to pick up on it. Check your root folder after running the patcher to see if the file is named/capitalized correctly.

 

The 10.5.6 update contains a new kernel and system.kext.

 

If you've installed the Voodoo Kernel 1.0 using its installer, the kernel itself won't get overwritten by the 10.5.6 update, but system.kext will.

So backup your 9.5.0 system.kext before running the update so that you can put it back in the extensions folder when the update is finished, overwriting the new one.

 

A simple way to do it is to run the Voodoo 1.0 installer again after updating - it installs the matching system.kext as well.

 

This is important because if the kernel and the system.kext don't match, your system will not work properly - for example you'll have problems with USB drives not mounting. This is not something new to 10.5.6! It was always like this. Do your homework before updating your systems.

 

The XNU dev team recommends (see the Voodoo Kernel Manual) using Chun Nan's AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext along with an original AppleSMBIOS.kext:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=108606

 

Important: Read the thread and follow the instructions on how to edit the boot.plist and insert your FSB, memory speed etc etc.

 

You will probably want set your hackintosh' serial number, boot ROM version and model (macbook/pro, iMac and so on).

To do this, download and install Apple Xcode, open the project file and edit the .cpp file as detailed in the thread, then hit the build button to compile the .kext yourself.

This is as simple as editing and saving a word document, don't be put off by words like "compile" and "source code"!

Xcode also comes with a tool that lets you edit plists, which no hackintosh user should be without.

http://developer.apple.com/Tools/xcode/ - you need to sign up with apple to download - or you could visit bugmenot :(

 

If you have the XNU speedstep kext installed, delete it. It causes a kernel panic on 10.5.6.

 

Before installing the update, make sure AppleDecrypt.kext (or similar, I guess there are other kexts that do the same thing) is present in the extensions folder. With Voodoo 1.0 you don't need dsmos.kext or disabler.kext anymore - the voodoo kernel now does their jobs.

 

Make a backup of the 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext so you can put it back in the extensions folder after installing the update.

 

The seatbelt.kext in the 10.5.6 update causes a kernel panic with Voodoo 1.0 when mounting .dmg images. If you have already installed 10.5.6 and didn't know about this, you can download the 10.5.5 combo update from Apple and extract seatbelt.kext from there using Pacifist.

http://www.charlessoft.com/

 

If you find yourself in a Catch-22 where you can't mount the combo update .dmg due to this issue, open it with Disk Utility and convert it to a CD/DVD master first. Voila!

 

Keep your copy of the 10.5.6 seatbelt.kext so that you can put it back in later when this issue is fixed.

 

Time to run the 10.5.6 update. Just let it install and reboot. Before arriving at the desktop, it will reboot once more.

 

As soon as you're at the desktop (try booting with -x if it hangs during normal boot at this point) put the 9.5.0 system.kext and seatbelt.kext back in the extensions folder and reboot again.

 

Congratulations, you are now running 10.5.6. Check what's working and what's not - USB, LAN, Sound, Graphics etc etc. Check with System Profiler to see if the right kexts are loaded and that Quartz Extreme and Core Image are enabled.

I was lucky and just needed to fix my LAN and SATA controller drivers.

 

If your motherboard has an Intel ICHx southbridge and your HDDs have those funny looking orange icons after updating, it means your SATA controller isn't properly recognized. Don't go back to using the old kexts from 10.5.5 - Thanks to Gujal, here are the new, fixed kexts for 10.5.6:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=108479

 

Here are slice's improved IOUSBFamily plugin and mass storage kexts, updated for 10.5.6.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117029

Slice recommends deleting PCGenUSB if you're using that.

Warning: The IOPCIFamily.kext with improved IRQ handling crashes my system during boot. Booting with -x works and you can put the old one (of which you, naturally, made a backup first) back if the same thing happens to you.

 

If LAN isn't working now, and you were using modified plugin kexts (AppleYukon for example) inside IONetworkingfamily.kext to get it working, try putting them back in the new 10.5.6 kext. It worked for me.

 

That's all I can think of right now. If I find anything else I'll add it to the post later. Hope it was useful.

Well now I'm confused....

 

Using Kalyway, iAtkos and the ToHLeox86 install disc to boot my system would not show my partitions in the Darwin Bootloader.

But using a retail disk I was able to see my partitions in the Darwin bootloader.

And even more interesting the label for Time Machine was showing, which it had not done when booting darwin before.

post-277141-1229969461_thumb.jpg

 

Well I I'm going try an updated disc now and see how that works.

I eventually got the system to boot with full resolution changing. Through trial and error I added these additional kext to my /Extra/Extensions.mkext cache:

 

IOGraphicsFamily.kext
IONDRVSupport.kext
IOPCIFamily.kext
NVDANV30Hal.kext
NVDAResman.kext

 

However, I still plan to drop back to 10.5.5 because the system obviously does not have hardware acceleration and some features related to graphics still don't work. VmWare Fusion runs but is deadly slow. DVD player won't play a dvd - no usable video device, And, every time I select Graphics in System Profiler I get a Kernel Panic.

 

I've got it working now thanks to jayman30's post in which he describes how he reinstalled the leopard graphics update after updating to 10.5.6.

First I removed the nvkush extension, then I installed the 10.5.6 update and rebooted the laptop (the ancient Dell D800, using Munky's EFI-partition bootmethod). It booted ok but without graphic acceleration as expected. Now I installed the leopard graphics update using Pacifist (as the update won't install itself on 10.5.6) and repaired permissions after install finished. I rebooted again, again it booted ok but without graphic acceleration as expected. Next I installed the NVKush extensions again, rebooted the laptop and voila I got my graphic card recognized again without any problems. System profiler also works without any problems (no crashes, no kernel panic). I haven't done extensive testing, these are the results for now after installing and working with it for a few minutes.

If you have the XNU speedstep kext installed, delete it. It causes a kernel panic on 10.5.6.

 

thanks for the very useful post and confirming that xnu's speedstep will cause kps. that was one of several problems that I came across on my trials. superhai's speedstep still works for those who need it.

Sorry for the help i asked!!

I've mentioned that my problem is failing graphics. By the way you have the same problem.

I've sent you my logs and asked to look it because i can't see what causes my problem.

 

Thanks for your advice anyway! I've got a little bit of experience.

 

Nothing to be sorry about. I didn't remember your stating what type of graphics failure you had. I didn't mind your asking and only wish I could have seen what caused the problem. Some problems are very hard to diagnose remotely.

 

That's even more true in this case since I never managed to resolve my own problem. I did a TimeMachine restore to 10.5.5 and plan to redo the update after Christmas. Much to do for the family just now. Maybe with a clearer head I will find the problem.

Nevermind, man! :)

 

Trying to update clear 10.5.4 installation (without ANY modified kexts) to 10.5.6 with Leopard Graphics update after it. Crossed fingers. Good luck to myself!! :)

 

UPDATE:

After update and two reboots the system has started in VESA mode. After it I booted from my maintenance Kalyway 10.5.2 and installed Leopard graphics update with Pacifist. After it I booted 10.5.6 and installed kexts for my graphics. Crossed fingers again and clicked Reboot.

 

It started!! Voila!! I don't know how to check QE/CI and I'll be very pleased if you tell me how to check it!

 

Keyboard and trackpad doesn't work, wi-fi card doesn't work too. I tried to install PCI patch but system crashed. Will try to find the new patch or something.

 

Good luck with your Christmas business!!

I just have to say that I had a heck of a time upgrading to 10.5.6. I have a P5K Premium running vanilla. I used Kalyway 10.5.1 for my original install, and was on 10.5.5. I am using chameleon with pc_efi 9, and have patched DSDT.

 

After the update, my system would not boot...it hung at itunes.phone.driver...something or another. I searched everywhere, and tried everything I could find with no avail.

 

The Appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext was nowhere to be found, so I extracted it with Pacifist from Apples 10.5.5 Combo Update...which didn't resolve the issue either.

 

I finally fixed my issue with help from joe75...THANKS joe75!!!

 

I booted into single user mode (-s) at the bootloader. Entered write mode (/sbin/mount -uw /), and used kextload to load dsmos.kext (kextload dsmos.kext). Rebooted, and that was it!

 

Then all I had to do was reload any kexts that were not already supported by OS X. Hope this helps anyone else having the same trouble.

 

Enjoy!
