best settings ep45-ud3r iPC

[napjulius]

my gratitude to all the osx86 community. it was because of their support base that i decided to go ahead with my hackintosh (after weeks and weeks of reading topics and blogs).

 

so i got iPC installed on my rig but i get alot of kernel panics screen. sometimes without running anything. sometimes when on FCP or geekbench mark. and sometimes when installing some software or booting up. I knew the dangers and pitfalls of trying to do a hackintosh but after the many success stories, and people claiming that their rig runs very stable (60+days w/o restarting) even more so than a real mac, in some cases, i thought it will only take me a few tweaks to have a good system.

 

because of your help i got audio, wireless, GFX, FCS all sorted out, but my question is, anyone out there (and i know there are, i made sure to get compatible hardware) running similar specs to mine without so much kernel panics.

 

GA-EP45-UD3R

Intel core 2 quad Q9550 2.83 GHz

PNY Nvidia 9400 1024Mb (temp) [evga 9800gtx 512mb replacement on its way from newegg (DOA)

Patriot Viper memory 800Mhz 2x2 4GB

asus Wl-138g V2 802.11b/g does work ootb but firefox and safari crash alot.

 

i customized it many times but i always get Kernel panics. anyone with a stable customized suggestions? should i try a different distro? regardless of distro my final objective is to go retail but not financially possible at the moment. will doing that reduce the Kernel panics drastically?

 

thanks like always

i got the LAN working.. VideoCard using OSx86Tools (Works 100%)..

i'm using external sound card (M-Audio ProjectMix i/o to TexasInstrument Chipset FireWire Card) for my audio..

 

everything seems perfect until suddenly the OS start crashing and crashing for no reason..

hey ogi24,

 

you have a nice set up there, and you've made a good choice on your hardware.

 

i don't know how you've customized your hackintosh but you can try these settings:

 

choose your GFX

Chipset Drivers: Intel ICH10 Sata support

Audio Driver: ALC889a (or which ever is best for you)

Ethernet: Realtek r1000 [have not used but very popular]

USB drivrer: Patched USB drivers

Fixes and patches: Shutdown/Restart Fix

DSDT patches: Patch DSDT [with or w/out i get kernel panics sometimes]

AppleSMBIOS patch: SMIBIOSResolver

 

let me know your choices so i can try them myself.

 

thanks
