Hello, all.

I've got a Point of View(copy of pegatron, whatever) mainboard with atom330. Now I have to run windows 7 on it, so i beg you for help :wallbash:

1-st I tried different builds with no result(one hangs, one restarts, etc.) After reading this thread i tried to google for mysterious LDMx86, but unfortunately my japan is not so good, so no result too. Some sites that offered registration for download i didn't use for some reason(may be wrong, but who has positive experiencewith them?). So i decided, that Boot-132 with edited INITRD.IMG is the method. Vanilla method didn't work, so i realized, that I need to modify INITRD.IMG with DSDT and KEXTs provided by Dreamwatcher. But this was also not so smooth. Editing INITRD.IMG requires Mac OS X installed, which I don't have, so as opportunity to find one. Only beloved Win7. May be there is another way, but I don't know it for the moment. Also have to say, yjat I tried different bios settings, that are not so reach.

So my questions:

1.(Best solution for my opinion) Can anyone make INITRD.IMG for Boot-132 method packed with DSDT and KEXTs provided by Dreamwatcher?

2. Dreamwatcher, may be you can give a link to LDMx86(hope it doesn't require Mac OS installed, and have english instructions.)

3. Any other solution?

 

P.S.: Almost forgot. I also tried iPhoneTom's method but it doesn't see Retail Install DVD, meanwhile it succsessfully see Kalyway dvd, but install fails.

Has anyone made any progress with an Acer Revo yet? I have done a vanilla (10.5.6 retail)+ChameleonRC2 install. With kernel flag cpus=1 -v -f, it still stays in a reboot loop immediately.

BIOS is in AHCI mode.

 

Any tips or thoughts are appreciated.

Hallo!

 

I have a Zotac IONITX, I'm trying to install snow leopard, and the installation was successful.

I have some problems with some devices:

1) The USB2 controller are not recognized, this has been partially resolved with a patch the DSDT.

Partially because with this patch i have only one controller..

Do you know now solve this?

Device (EHCI)
{
	Name (_ADR, 0x001A0007)
	OperationRegion (UFCS, PCI_Config, 0x54, 0x04)
	Field (UFCS, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
	{
			,   15,  
		PMES,   1
	}

	Device (HUB2)
	{
		Name (_ADR, Zero)
		Device (PRT1)
		{
			Name (_ADR, One)
		}

		Device (PRT2)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x02)
		}

		Device (PRT3)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x03)
		}  

		Device (PRT4)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x04)
		}
	}

	Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
	{
		0x0D,
		0x03
	})
	Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
	{
		Return (0x03)
	}

	Method (_S4D, 0, NotSerialized)
	{
		Return (0x03)
	}

	Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
	{
		Store (Package (0x0F)
			{
				"device-id",
				Buffer (0x04)
				{
					0x34, 0x3A, 0x00, 0x00
				},

				"AAPL,clock-id",
				Buffer (One)
				{
					0x0A
				},

				"built-in",
				Buffer (One)
				{
					0x00
				},

				"device_type",
				Buffer (0x05)
				{
					"EHCI"
				},

				"AAPL,current-available",
				0x04B0,
				"AAPL,current-extra",
				0x02BC,
				"AAPL,current-in-sleep",
0x03E8,
				Buffer (One)
				{
					0x00
				}
			}, Local0)
		DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
		Return (Local0)
	}
}

 

2) The board does not shutdown..

3) The video card is recognized with the patch of graphicsenabler chameleon.

He's only a problem .. HDMI output works only at first start after a reboot start graphical environment remains blue.

 

The thing that surprises me is that the hardware of this motherboard is virtually identical to that of my macbook pro .. And I would expect an almost immediate installation ..

For example, the USB device id have exactly the same as those of the mac.

Do you have any suggestions for my problems? USB, HDMI and shutdown, maybe depends on the problem with USB ..

 

 

Thanks

Hi all

 

Dreamwatch explains the installation via LDMX86 but I do not know how to download?

 

I have a motherboard Point of View ION330 / Clone Pegatron. Rev 103

I wanted to know if you need to install Leopard retail with a CD-BOOT or Ldmx86 or do an installation from another computer.

 

Thank you all

 

ps: sorry for my bad English

Still no news on the Samsung N510?

Can somebody post if he/she has QE/CI working?

All details are welcom anyway!

 

That's what I found on another website from the netherlands. (google can translate it very well), but nope. still no qe/ci.

 

"OSX86 op de N510, hopelijk wat meer die nu verder gaan met experimenteren en de laatste problemen eruit krijgen

 

Voor installatie is een externe harddisk benodigd, daar de interne niet gezien wordt tijdens installatie!

Ik heb gebruik gemaakt van Ideneb 1.6 10.5.8

Tijdens de installatie voor de volgende instellingen kiezen

Chameleon v2 bootloader

kernel vanilla

voodoops2 controller (voor keyboard en muis)

ApplenforceATA

Apple Yukon2 (voor de bedrade netwerkaansluiting)

 

Nadat de installatie klaar is en de computer aan het netwerk hangt, de applicatie OSX86tools installeren

Hierin de resolutie instellen op 1366x768 en Quarts enable.

Herstart hierna.

Als dit allemaal gebeurd is, dan kan de harddisk weer intern geplaatst worden als je dat wilt.

 

Wat werkt nog niet:

Webcam wordt tijdens 1ste boot aangezet voor een eigenaar foto. Daarna niet meer werkend.

QE/CI werkt nog niet (hierdoor denk ook de webcam niet).

resolutie scherm is 1360x768 ipv 1366x768

Touchpad werkt wel, maar het touchpad als muisknop gebruiken nog niet.

Wireless werkt niet, maar dit is op te lossen door het plaatsen van een dell truemobile kaartje (bijv de 1390)

 

Veel succes"

Yes, I read that, no updates for a while (I am Dutch too).

Think I wil go for a Gigabyte M912X for now.

I just wished somebody was fiddling with the N510 more.

I also found nothing on Lenovo S12 with ION.

 

I would think 9400M is mac alike hardware and it would work with not so much trouble, but it seems things are not that simple. Wish I had more time to dig thinks out, but I do not at the moment.

Thanks for your response anyway.

kaiou - Hi - what NVCAP are you using in your EFI string?

 

Can you now reliably power-off & power-up your monitor without seeing a solid blue screen on power-up?

 

I now appear to have reliable shutdown.

 

XBench is dreadfully out-of date & doesn't seem to have been supported fpr over two years: it was never 'accurate' anyway.

. . for SL benching you might like to try [for openCL graphics] this new tool - tho' the download link for the 8K V2 version doesn't work for me.

 

For simple relative computational power geekbench32 & 64 are fine - if you don't like it, try this FP-focused tool now ported to OSX;

 

For HDD benching I think we'll have to wait till the only fairly convincing GUI tool is SL-friendly - there are of course lots of command-line transfer-rate tests you could run; but these are tricky to compare.

Yes, I read that, no updates for a while (I am Dutch too).

Think I wil go for a Gigabyte M912X for now.

I just wished somebody was fiddling with the N510 more.

I also found nothing on Lenovo S12 with ION.

 

I would think 9400M is mac alike hardware and it would work with not so much trouble, but it seems things are not that simple. Wish I had more time to dig thinks out, but I do not at the moment.

Thanks for your response anyway.

 

Me dutch too, and the article was by me.

Still here no solution for the qe-ci problem found that works.

Trackpad needs voodoo ps2 mouse-trackpad choice to have a mouseclick touchpad.

Device and vendor id i get in the plist, but what do some people mean by the NVdarwin binary patch and where to put in the NVIDIA ION LE string (Howto= ).

 

Gigabyte M912X i had for 1 day, what a terrible keyboard and screen is in that netbook and resolution is far to high to read without eyestrain.

. . have you tried graphics injection from the dsdt? This has worked OK for me [& many others] in giving CI/QE for the 9400M - tho' getting the right NVCAP seems non-trivial.

luk - Hi - just in case your dsdt is different to mine please boot into Linux - I normally use the wonderful Parted Magic CDs because they are so small & solid & anyway I use it all the time - & fire up a terminal & type:

 

cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.aml

 

. . . then find the file [it'll be in root] & copy to a USB stick, then zip it up & attach it to a post here, together with exact details of your motherboard model & revision & BIOS version.

 

Before you boot into Linux disable HTT [hyperthreading] in the CPU section: you cannot enable HTT in SL & also disable the serial port [unless you use it].

 

I'll edit the thing & either [to your choice] 1) just remove the CPU alias' so you can boot OSX without the

 

cpus=1

 

. . flag, or 2) add injection for the onboard graphics - in which case you must not use the onboard graphicsenabler in Chameleon RC3/RC3 or in the PC-EFI 10.x versions based on their code

 

Onboard sound is a little more complex & perhaps we'd better see whether you can install SL first.

 

I'll then post your dsdt.aml back here so both you & others with your exact specs can use it - OK?

 

You *must* get this dsdt.aml from a Linux session - otherwise we'll all be wasting our time.

 

You got any guide on what you did or do you want to share your dsdt as clear text so we can see what you did to get the ALC662 to work...
