oyez Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 First of all I want to say Hi as I'm new here on the forum! Lots of usefull information here, but there is never enough so I thought I contribute with some of my own! So here it goes: 1. The hackingtosh Motherboard: Intel Smackover boxdx58so CPU: Intel Core I7 920 Memory: 3x 1GB OCZ Intel Extreme 1333Mhz Video: Gainward 8600GT Silent 256Mb HDD: 2x WD Raptor 37gb , 1x 500Gb Seagate Barracuda Audio: Onboard Lan: Onboard + RTL8139 PCI Card (Problem getting the onboard lan to work properly so I used a secondary nic until I solve it) Target OS: iAtkos v7 Leopard 10.5.7 2. Preparations First of all I used badaxe2's howto as guideline for the gigabyte x58 board found here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=172097 Thx! Same chipset and similar hardware should result in similar setup. First step into your bios, disable speedstepping and all powersaving functions (C0/C1E), should work with them too thou, but just to be sure. Set SATA mode to AHCI. Raid works too but you can't use the ICH10R/DO as raid anyway so it's pointless. 3. Installtion Boot the iAtkos v7 dvd, press F8 at prompt and input: -v busratio=20 [enter] The installer should now start. Open disk utility, partition as you prefer using guid. Close the disk util, click contiune, select your target drive then click customize: Uncheck everything and check the following iAtkos v7 Main System Chameleon V2 Extra Directory DSDT AppleDecryptor 9.7.0 Kernel Voodo APIC Driver Disabler OHR Remove TyMCE AHCI Intel Sata/IDE JMicron Sata/IDE Voodo HDA Driver Intel Gbit Realtek 8139 Post Install Actions It is very important that you DO NOT select the Intel Speedstep {censored} since they cause strange lockups and kernelpanics thus preventing a succesfull boot (you can only boot in safe mode and singel user mode, which is kinda worthless)! It took me countless hours and a couple of reinstalls before I figured out it was the superhai speedstep driver that caused the problem. Click contine and install I skipped the Verification part to save time without any problems, do as you like. After the Installation is completed reboot and you should be ready to go! 4. Aftermath with Nvidia It took me quite some time to get it to work properly. I tried all the tricks in the book so I will just spell it out loud to save you the hazzle: NVkush does the trick for all nvidia 8xxx cards (maybe many more)! Just download the installer here: http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/ Run it and reboot as told. Woila! Hardware accellerated with full CI/QE support. That's it, a fully working Hackingtosh (except onboard nic), can run Apple update as any regular mac would! 5. Enjoy osx! Hope this helps someone, I sure had some hard time finding information for the intel smackover mobo and expecially getting my nvidia 8600gt to work to 100%! Big thanks to badaxe2 for the initial how to! Cheers!

Full Details pls. if you can post images it would be much better.

The Finale of Seem Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 As someone posting from a just-hackied DX58SO system, and then rehackied because Microsoft is stupid beyond words and Windows 7 put it's system partition over Chameleon, which is on A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DAMNED DRIVE... iAtkos is screwy on this thing. It may not boot every time. If you see "Waiting for root device" after the Firewire error in verbose boot, you'll know it's not going to boot. You might have to monkey around a bit, unplugging drives, plugging in a Firewire device...honestly, I'm not sure what exactly makes it work, just that it eventually did for me after a few frustrating reboots. Also, it's very picky about USB. Don't plug into front USB ports and don't try plug & playing. It may have been that it didn't like my Logitech G5. The capslock light was on solid and the kb/mouse were nonresponsive. It's weird, but you can get it working eventually. And the onboard NIC is working just fine for me. For whatever reason, it's not recognizing the speed of the connection in Network Utility, but I'm copying over a crapload of data right now on my LAN and it's definitely running at Gigabit speeds. My Nvidia GTX 285 also worked just fine after installing the drivers and the enabler.

Elyvio Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi Folk, I have a problem here. Updated from Iatkos v5 to V7 using default in customize. It only recognizes 4 cores (I had 8 cores working in v5). I tried the Voodoo Kernel 9.7.0 (your tutorial installation) and I'm still stucked in 4 cores. In v5 i used the Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0. Another problem: it didn't recognized the DDR3 memory (it says is DDR2 in System Profiler). My Bios: Default (same as I used in v5), except that I enabled the Intel Virtualization (after update...) My Config: Intel DX58SO i7 920 Seagate 1 Tera HD (Mac OsX 10.5.7, Vista 32 and Vista 64) 6 Giga Ram Kingstom KVR1333D3N9/2G Nvidia 9800GT Thx in advance for the help.

The Finale of Seem Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I wouldn't worry. My guess would be that 10.5.7 properly recognizes hyperthreaded CPUs (Nehalem) as 4 core instead of seeing 8 cores due to two threads per core. In addition, the DDR2 thing is irrelevant. It's only how the OS reports it. You're still running at full DDR3 speeds. It would be nice if it could recognize the RAM type and frequency, but it's really a minor issue. Now, if anyone has sleep working 100% on this board then I'd love to know. I've tried the command line alteration to the sleep mode, but that only helps sometimes.

I have the Gigabyte X58-UDR3 with i7 920 2.7ghz. Sleeps works like a charm. Lan out of the box. Sata aswell. The only issue here, it only recognize 1 core. At least what it says in the activitymonitor. Maybe someone have an solution? My score in xbench is around 200.
