Gigabyte EP45-UD3 + Vanilla 10.5.7 + Quartz Extreme

[bonesinc]

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to get Quartz Extreme working for almost 3 days and now I've got to admit: I need help!

 

I build a new hackintosh system with the following (relevant) components:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3 (latest bios F8)

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550

Memory: 2x 2GB DDR2 800

Graphics: Club3D Nvidia 8400GS 512MB Passive Cooling (Device ID: 0x0422)

Hard drive and Optical drive both are SATA

 

OS: Vanilla OS X 10.5.7 on GUID Partition while booting from EFI partition on same drive, using Chameleon (EFI-Boot-i386).

 

I've installed all relevant Kexts I could think of:

 

From this thread:

UUID.kext

LegacyIOAHCIBlockStorage.kext

AppleUSBEHCI.kext

Disabler.kext

dsmos.kext

 

From this thread:

OpenHaltRestart.kext

JMicronATA.kext

 

Right now I'm using NVinject.kext (ver. 0.2.1) for graphics (no QE).

 

I tried NVinject, NVDarwin, Natit, NVkush and EFI strings but I can't figure out why I don't have Quartz Extreme.

The 8400GS card does support QE because it was working on my previous hackintosh (iDeneb 1.4 on Asus M2N-E SLI + AMD) and I even tested it on my new rig by temporarely installing iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6).

 

Because the 8400GS was working in QE with iDeneb 1.4, I used the NVinject.kext from that install with my Vanilla 10.5.7 install. Unfortunately NO QE!

 

I don't get it. What am I missing here?
