Richdave Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I am posting this from my SL install on my Hackintosh so I guess I have had some success! I have a few issues to resolve though... 1. No sound 2. System freezes after being left alone for 10 minutes - sleep issue?? 3. running my old x1950 Pro as I could not even get a boot with the HD4850. 4. Still need to make the install bootable w/o the Chameleon CD That's it for now... I have done many searches here and on other sites and TBH as a real iNoob I don't necessarily understand the Mac-speak when it comes down to it... Any help would be appreciated as I explore this brave new world...

roonsmits Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hiya, Sorry I'm not offering a solution, I've got the same mainboard, didn't you have a problem with your bios settings, which being reset after each reboot, fans revving to max, or overclock settings being st back to defaults? thanks in advance, Ronald Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210593-sl-on-p35-ds3r-boots-with-issues/#findComment-1408731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no over-clocking so cant comment on that however I am not seeing my BIOS resetting after each reboot nor fans revving to max. I have 2 stored BIOS profiles - 1 for Mac boot with AHCI enable and the other for my Win installs w/o AHCI enabled. I have to choose which I want at first boot when I change OS but thereafter I don't see any reset issues if I reboot OS X install....

Richdave Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have installed the AHCI drivers in my win installations so now I don't have to change BIOS to boot between OS... and I had the system bootable w/o the cham CD but I broke something while trying to get my VGA working w/o the -x boot GRR... On we go... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210593-sl-on-p35-ds3r-boots-with-issues/#findComment-1426323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richdave Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Ok so now I have the system booting with my HD4850 installed but ONLY if I use -x so I have a way to go yet. I am kinda confused.. I read and read and there is SO MUCH info that I get swamped! I am assuming that if I resolve the VGA issue I will be able to boot w/o the -x as I can boot OK with my 1950 installed. I need a nudge in the right direction here.. Do I keep looking for a solution to the 4850 or are there more fundamentals I need to get right first? Do I need to get my DSDT.aml right first? What about the apple.com.plist in the Chameleon partition? Do I need to get that "Right" first? Is there a "best practice" order to logically stepping thru the various facets of troubleshooting my install?
