Well i have got Mac OS X to work in my MSi P45 Neo3-FR motherboard.

 

Everything else works exept About this mac (crashes), only 1 cpu working and my sound drivers that does not seem to work at all.

 

Most annoying problem is the about this mac crash and id like to get it fixed, i been trying all SMBIOS files i have found that others claim to be working but its not, still crashing.

 

Setup as follows :

MSI P45 Neo3-FR

Core2 E6750

2Gb DDR2 Ram

Radeon HD4870

Mac OSX with everything else vanilla exept ICH10 drivers (darwin 9.6 with leo 10.5.6 dvd), boot loader is chameleon.

 

Anyone can help me fix this problem? (mainly the About this mac one).

Heh. You say you've tried a crudload of SMBIOSes but have you tried this one? Sorry, that's all I can suggest. Except perhaps trying a Voodoo kernel, but I'm not sure how likely that is to help you.

 

 

Well thats the one i tried first of all SMBioses.

 

And i dont want to install Voodoo kernel because i want keap this up with Vanilla kernel.

For install i use iDeneb 1.6 10.5.8 lite, thats the only DVD where i must not start the boot with cpus=1

 

 

Install it with vanilla kernel, smbiosEFI, select driver and enabler for vga (without enabler blank boot screen, or monitor in standby mode :P ) for sound select VoodooHDA, or leave blank, and after succesful boot install the newest.

 

after install boot with iPC 10.5.6 and uncheck all packages except drivers>system>AplleIntelATAPII or something

 

+ACPI Fix, now reboot and boot again 10.5.8 and select bootloader chameleon2 nothing else, dunno why, booting from iPC 10.5.6 and installing acpi fix is ruining chameleon2, youre done

 

after reboot you'll have HDD but very slow boot with IOKITWAIT errors. I'm fixing it now, dunno if its AppleACPI problem, or AppleIOATA, i'll post a full install process after i'm done, i fixed it a month ago, and forgot what was the problem :) my bad. 

 

I have pictures from bios settings, i'll post it too. After succesful boot you must install seatbelt.kext for 10.5.8 and the newest VoodooHDA if that one on 10.5.8 not working (worked for me, except mic, but i have usb logitech headphones with mic ClearChat pro USB, and its awesome)

 

i have NV260GTX vga wich is fully working, i had a problem with firewire, disabled it, i'm not using fw hw now, so its not important for me, AboutThisMac shows core2solo, buuut, iStat shows 2 cores working, system profiler says 1 core.

 

you must set bios to IDE, dont know why, but i installed it on AHCI, install took 3-4 hrs, now i intall it on ide in 12 minutes.

 

After the iowaitkit something is fixed, system boots in about 30sec, extremly fast response, so i love it.

 

Edit: just installed snow leopard 10.6.2 hazard, you must prepare all kexts you need, sata/ata fix etc, or you'll get kernel panic, but now it runs perfect. I want to buy a mac ;)

 

Maybe iDeneb or iAtkos will be fully fixed, and we can use it, just cant wait for it ;)
