Try this IOATAFAMILY with your JMICRON.kext and see if it helps

It fixed my AHCI issues and got all purple / orange ports work great.

 

get the 10.5.8 kext from this thread that -Dune- made.

 

check the thread here:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88335

 

Put it into your extras folder or better yet S/L/E and you should be fine.

 

All ports work now with this kext even with both AHCI settings enabled in the bios.

 

 

Hey there, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it´s not working, SATA AHCI Problems remain the same and Waiting for Root Device in IDE Mode.

kann someone please show me an IOREG screengrab from their SATA Devices? Can´t figure it out!

Thanks!

 

EDIT; FYI: I just want to use mi ICH8 in AHCI, my Jmicron is disabled anyway.

Hi guys. I just wanna say thank you for sharing all this info with the comunity. With your comments, and a bit of patience, i've managed to set up my system with snow leopard.

 

I just copied the kext and dsdt that Innerz posted. Only change made was on the dsdt file, changing the graphics card info with the info i got from my system in wXP.

 

The only hardware not working is the jmicron controller, so no IDE peripherals. In some point, trying differents kext the ports showed up on the serial ata devices but still not working.

 

And a really quick question. How do i boot with 64bits kernel?

I have this flag on the boot.plist

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>

 

thank you

Innerz,

Could you possibly create a 9800GT 512MB DSDT.aml file for me? Or could you point out how to completely remove the GFX info from your DSDT.aml so that I can try an EFI String? (since it appears the info were still there: I modified mine just for the extra ram and the name)

 

You DSDT is perfect on a Gigabyte 965p-ds3p too but I am experiencing a problem with some OpenGL buffer: for example, even though Chess works perfectly, I can't watch a vido with VLC since the frame would just be black.

 

Thank you in advance for your help

Update:

Chess working fine is not a sign that QE and CI are working. As reported by Cinebench and by Front Row not displaying anything, acceleration wasn't enabled.

 

After a couple of trials, I was able to remove the GFX part from your DSDT file and add my video card with EFI strings. It now works with acceleration enabled but, because there needs to be a but:

- I would prefer having a DSDT entry for my gfx card if possible

- If the displays are switched off (by the power saving settings) AND the computer doesn't go into sleep mode, when they switch back on all I get is "noise". Usually, one fixes itself almost immediately (a matter of a couple of seconds top) but the second one stays all garbled, no matter what I do.

To fix it though I can put the computer into sleep and awaken it straight afterwards: then both screens are back to normal.

 

I am working on a GA-965P-DS3P rev 3.3, Q6600 overclocked at 3.2GHz, 8GB Ram and a Zotac 9800GT 512MB Dual DVI, 2 monitors

 

I hope I was clear enough in trying to explain my problem.

  • No GFX you have to add gfx string in com.apple.Boot.plist or use a .kext
  • Don't forget either to add your UUID in com.apple.Boot.plist and in the "info.plist" of "PlatformUUID.kext"

 

How to add key/string in com.apple.Boot.plist for Graphic and UUID?

@innerz: thank you for all your help in giving me a very good launched start.

 

I am now slowly learning all I can about my motherboard and DSDT programming to be able to tailor it to my GA-965P-DS3P v3.3.

 

One thing I noticed is that the integrated ethernet card wasn't working (having a working wifi hide this from me for a while :D ).

This is most probably due to the fact that in your DSDT the lan card is addressed and setup as Device(LAN) and in an old DSDT of mine which was working on Leopard instead as Device(GIGE)

I am making the modifications now and try later on at home.

 

One another side, I have my apple keyboard connected to a USB port on the back of my motherboard and the mouse to the apple keyboard HUB and when the computer goes into sleep I can awake it just by pressing the power button (not by moving the mouse and/or pressing a button): do you experience the same behavior? I would like to get sleep and vanilla speedstepping perfectly enabled on my board :D

Hello, thanks for your help :(

 

Ok, I got the card working at the end: first with my modified version of the DSDT and then also with yours...so: that's not a problem anymore. :)

I am now working toward adding a DSDT fix for my video card and I think I am there...trying now a new version..so finger crossed.

 

With regards to the USB problem: the ports are showing up as built-in..both UHCI and EHCI. Is that what you meant?

sorry, maybe I am being just thick but I cant see the fixes you are referring to in the thread you pointed out..and i just finished re-reading it from top to bottom :P

They talk about the fact that their USB controllers where recognized as "extensions" and the DSDT patches made them being recognized as "integrated": for someone, this also fixed the issue of not being able to wake up the computer from sleep by mouse and/or keyboard.

 

In my case, both EHCI and UHCI are already recognized as built in but I still dont get wake by mouse and/or keyboard

By the way, my keyboard is the old apple one and it is recognized as USB 1.1

 

On another side: have you got any idea why a GFX DSDT entry which works on a DSDT.aml if copied and pasted onto your DSDT.aml without graphic section stops working correctly? And by this I mean that at time I lose one of the screens (dual dvi) and QE/CI...

 

Thanks again for the patience

Hi can you help me? I need a small tutorial how to install mac os x. I installed from USB drive exacly from there: http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build...start-to-finish and everything is ok. But if i will install this drivers 965P_DS4_Extra.zip got a kernel panic. Something is wrong.

 

here is my instalation step by step:

1) installation of mac os x retail (from usb drive)

2) install chameleon botloader

3)

3.1) extract 965P_DS4_Extra.zip

3.2) copy extensions and kextutility to desktop -> make a extensions.mkext

3.3) copy extensions folder and new extensions.mkext into Extra (in root of mac os drive)

3.4) use the EfiStudio to get my Geforce 8800 GT 512(G92) xml file => this file paste to com.apple.Boot.plist i think here is the problem, can anyone send here working com.apple.Boot.plist

4) Kernel panic !!!!

 

please help, what is wrong???

 

Thanks

 

Sorry for my english. :-)

 

btw: My motherboard is GA-965P-DS3 (but its almost the same like DS4)

Innerz: you rock :)

It now wakes up on both keypress from keyboard and double click of the mouse! and if I press the power button it goes into sleep..brilliant!

 

Moreover, I was also finally able to add my video card to the DSDT and get QE/CI working together with full dual DVI support...yeaaaaaaaah :D

 

So I can confirm: this DSDT works fine also for a GA-965P-DS3P v3.3

 

Great work!

Ok...one minor thing: now the system does not go to sleep automatically. I can put it to sleep, but it is not able to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity (from the configuration on system energy). It was before the last change

 

On a general topic: it is possible to know if your card has QE/CI enabled: the field is called "Rotation:supported" in snow leopard

 

A stupid question now instead: has anybody had any problem with the system working fine and then doing a sudo reboot from console and the system halts afterwards? I dunno how to exlpain it better but basically it was really...working and rebooting with no problems up to one moment when it instead hangs after having found the wireless card and loaded the NV50HAL...I have 2 installations (which are dd clones of each other) on 2 different hdds: one was used to test changes to the DSDT.aml before applying them. Both of them are stopping at the same point: so i dont think it could be software issue

You paste the whole .xml ?

 

You only need to paste the HEX string.

 

Hi, thanks for reply. Now works my 8800GT 512 perfectly.

 

But this is not main problem. I installed chameleon with netkas boot. Then copy DSDT and com.apple.Boot.plist from your Extra folder to / and edit com.apple.Boot.plist for my graphic card. If i use extensions.mkext from my usb snow leopard installation system boots up (without audio and network), but if i use your extensions.mkext (generated from kext utility) i got this screen: http://img171.imageshack.us/i/dsc0001tw4.jpg/

 

i made my installation usb exacly like here: http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build...start-to-finish

 

What i make wrong?? Where is the problem.

 

I dont understand this:

 

Don't forget either to add your UUID in com.apple.Boot.plist and in the "info.plist" of "PlatformUUID.kext"

 

again sorry for my english .... please help me

 

my mainboard is GA-965p-DS3 but there is diference only in ICH8(DS3) and ICH8R(DS4)
