Success! I ran your test and indeed, my machine didn't boot in 32bit mode even with -x32. I then added arch=i386 to the com.apple.boot.plist and then it did booted in 32bit mode. And even more, the Realtek driver works just like a charm in 32bit mode.

So thanks a billion, Tommy! You really saved my install and made my day!

Johannes

 

 

Glad i could help :)

Since the patcher is a Windows application, you will have to run it in Windows.

Create an Windows VM with VMware or Parallels and follow the patching from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142434 .

I recommend using the Ver : 0.2 (Beta 4) of the patcher instead of beta 5.

Thanks mate!

 

## Editing

 

Seems I have a big question mark over my head..... How can I discovery what values I should edit on my DSDT? I mean, the whole thing is huge and hhmmmm notso intuitive...

Any idea folks?

 

Other point....I saw a topic here on the forum, where a guy used the efi partition to add the extras, boot and so on, almost like in the boot cd. is this better or worse than the boot cd way?

 

Cheers!

The acpi patcher that i referred to doesn't require any code editing, it is a Windows GUI that you can pick and choose the options you want.

 

 

I'm not sure about boot cd, but there are two ways that i've been using.

1. Hidden EFI partition (this partition is always the first partition when you create a GUID partition disk) you can see that partition via Terminal by issue command "diskutil list".

 

2. a dedicated partition for boot loader (Chameleon or PC_EFI)

 

Here are some differences to the above 2 options:

 

- Hidden EFI partition will eliminate the need to choose your SL partition every time you boot the box

- Dedicated boot loader partition will require you to select your SL partition, otherwise it will boot the bootloader partition which lead you to nowhere but a blank screen. A workaround to that problem is to set the default partition in Boot.plist .

 

- You will always have to manually mount the hidden EFI partition if you need to make any modification to boot options or add/remove kexts from /Extra/Extensions

- The dedicated bootloader partition is always visible which is convenience if you still tweaking your setup. a workaround to hide this partition is to add an entry in /etc/fstab to not automount the partition.

 

Hope this could clarify some of the questions.

Thanks indeed mate! it sure did!

 

I will choose EFI partition, I like the terminal!

 

Oh, I updated my bios, which now runs 2801 version.

 

I was thinking here, as OS X can make a concatenated RAID, does chameleon boot it up? and has any of you used a RAID in this shape?

I used the EFI method. when I boot from Chameleon I got hang on the grey scren with the beah ball spinning...

I was able to see it booted as x64 , I did a try to force as 32 bits, also to boot with graphics @ 1024

 

My bios settings was according wich Tommy instructed on post #34. Any idea what could be the problem?

 

Don´t know if makes any difference, my video card is a nvidia 6600

try boot with -v (verbose) instead to see where it stuck at.

if you use PC_EFI loader, the option to boot to 32 bit kernel is -x32 .

From what i have read so far, by using chameleon loader, use arch=i386 to boot to 32 bit instead.

 

Did you generate EFI string for your nvidia 6600?

Oh I used -x32 instead and I have chameleon... maybe that's the why?

So Tommy, the gray screen where I get sucked is the one just before choose the language to install, so, I passed the gray boot screen...hmmm no I didn't generated the efi string, as with kalyway I don't have any kext for it, but I just have 1024x768. Anyway, I will give it a shot.. thanks again man!

Hi there Tommy

 

I realised today (while trying to recovery my kalyway install) that when I boot with arch=i386 I got waiting for root device, and when I boot as x64, the installer hangs on the gray screen just before the choose language dialog.

 

I didn't try the efi string for my video cause I got a power failure on my area here and my kalyway partition got problems on its superblock.

 

While booting with arch=i386 I plugged the disk to all sata ports I have (except the RAID ones) no changes at all...

 

Well, I will re read this thread and see what I can do different...

Hello folks!

 

I was able to install SL now. I followed some of the guides here, anyway, I still booting from usb, didn't fix it yet....

 

let's make a long story short.

 

I booted it up, migrated the accont from my previous install and just before finish, it started to flash my screen.... Well, I had to reboot. OS wasn[t loading anymore. on verbose mode I have this

 

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement)) timed out.

 

and the, get it all stopped

 

If I make set the 2 network cards to work on my bios, the boot pass through the error above, but get hang with some weird message for yukon.

 

Any idea what I could do to fix this?

 

Oh, sound working, Nvidia 6600 le working

 

I have the following on my EFI partition

 

ExtraExtensions

 

AHCIPortInjector.kext

AppleRTC.kext

IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext

fakesmc.kext

IOAudioFamily.kext

JMicronATA.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

OSvKernDSPLib.kext

PlatformUUID.kext

Sleepenabler.kext

VoodooHDA.kext

I have no sound and using VoodooHDA.kext...

 

1. how do you now cache kext files? cuz thats the only thing i did not do i think... i know it use to be sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and something else cant remember off top my head but yea that doesnt work so anyhelp would be great...

 

2. Bios setting for the Audio... i have mine set up for NON-Vista with HD enabled...

 

And i just want to say i did this install through a VMware image of a hackintosh... that was painful... but everything works with excepting of Sound...

 

Let me know

 

:-D

 

MotherBoard is P5W DH DELUXE

 

UPDATE: SOLVED FOR THOSE WHO VOOOODOOOO DOESNT WORK TRY:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...d&start=100

Ok so thanks largely in part to everyone on this thread I have now got a perfect install with sleep and 32 bit and 64 bit kernel support.

 

However there are 2 minor issues

 

1. Upon wake from sleep the bluetooth has trouble finding anything but I assume/presume this is a problem with my undersized dong-le.

2. Realtek RTL8187L kext is but 32 of the 64 bits we do seek. Henceforth I propose we spam those scallywags into updating the driver by means of support request emails that are convincing enough for realtek to believe that a large number of people who bought the usb RTL8187 are in fact Mac Pro owners who cannot survive without 64 bit kernel and who prefer using the wireless utility to airport. Oh dear, the more I think about the less I see it happening. Guess i'll have to search for a new wireless card with 64 bit.

 

But seriously 32 bit kernel vs 64 bit kernel, anyone really noticing any end user speed gains?

 

Ciao for now

 

Ooh just quickly in case

 

1. how do you now cache kext files? cuz thats the only thing i did not do i think... i know it use to be sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and something else cant remember off top my head but yea that doesnt work so anyhelp would be great...

 

 

in terminal

 

 

cd /System/Library or cd /Extra

 

kextcache -mkext Extensions.mkext Extensions

 

but this seems to be best used in sudo or single user mode for obvious reasons

 

 

 

Also VoodooHDA seems to die after update to 10.6.1, if you copy OsV....kext and IOAudio kexts back to /Extra/Extensions sometimes it fixes VoodooHDA

I've used the post #80 guide (thanks Rodrigo!) and gotten my system to boot with SL. The issue I have is getting graphics to work.

 

I am trying to upgrade to GTX 285 card.

 

My old setup was a 10.5.7 load with a 8800 GT using just EFI strings.

 

I setup my SL on a seperate HDD and I can boot into it using the 8800 GT and I get a generic 1024x768 video support. I can add a EFI string using either OSX86 Tools or by hand and it seems to enable QE/CI.

 

My issue is how to get the EFI string for my 285 into the system.

 

If I swap in the 285 the system fails to boot, it kernel panics. I've tried varied boot flags, -v -f -x32 etc and it does not seem to work still.

 

Am I missing some key step to enable the GTX 285 card support?

Weird... This never happened to me. I opened it from the DMG sometimes, and other times from the DVD I burnt.

 

-------

 

The first 2 USBs from the MoBo are not working, the other 2 are OK, and the 4 extra (on the case) are working as 1.1. Any solution for that?

 

What is exactly -x32? I understood that it was to run the system in 32 bits mode, but I see it is not. Would it be good to find a fix for that? (I understand it is related to the kexts).

 

Does anyone have Sleep working??

And shutdown? My computer gets stuck in something related to USB (domn't remember well now).

 

 

Thanks,

Rodrigo

 

So hello guys!

 

i read nearly all posts of this thread and found out that nobody have a solution for USB working corectly, so here is an solution from me!

 

you just need to replace the IOPCIFamily.kext with this one

I don´t know where i get this from, but it helped me on Leopard to get USB 2.0 to work.
