neil43 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Check out tonymacx86. Visit My Website I am in the process of bringing up an i3-530 on a GA H55M-UD2H using this guide. The on board graphics may not be supported at this time in OS X. I have my machine where it boots into the installed Snow Leopard 10.6.0 via Tony's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD. The next step is to update to 10.6.3 and tweak things to boot directly. I plan to change the video card before going forward. neil Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/215643-possible-to-install-on-h55-chipset/#findComment-1450277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
congomonster Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 ohhh, yeahhhh, got it working! After i tried all boot cd i took tonymacsx86 P55 Boot CD and i came to the installation screen. I switched to the Snow Leopard Retail disc and started with boot:busratio=25 for my core i5 661. After that there was white lines with some errors and falses, but i came to the install screen. I chose the disk utility and formated my harddrive with hfs+ journaled and GUID Partition. I took 30 min to install, it was really slow and at the end there was an installation failed! and i restated. I took tonymacs boot cd back in and selected the hard drive and booted with boot:busratio=25 again. After a short moment of waiting i could finish the installation. I have now a running Mac OS X 10.6. My Motherboard is the GA-H55M-USB3, the bios is F6, and i changed HPET to 64 and for the Hard drives AHCI. What can i do now for the Sound, Network, and Graphics ? The Graphics stuck at 1024 x 768. And can i save update from 106 to 10.6.3 ? Try to make some pictures Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/215643-possible-to-install-on-h55-chipset/#findComment-1450357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawley Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 have you tried voodoohda for sound? as far as I know, integrated graphics on i3s is not supported...

everdone Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 On my H55 sound, ethernet and on-board video will work. Video requires setting a resolution using the Graphics Mode key in com.apple.boot.plist (such as 1900x1200x32), you cannot change resolution and there is no enhanced graphics. Sound requires a modified AppleHDA plus Enabler, put the HDA in S/L/E and Enabler in E/E. Ethernet works with Realtek1000SL in S/L/E. I use DigitalDreamers script to install the kexts as well as DSDT mod, bootloader and Qoopz kernal. The sound kexts came from a grouping of P55 audio kexts I found on this site, the rest from DDs package. I was going to try the 10.6.3 v1.1 update to see if there is better support for on-board video, but unfortunately, the memory decided to roll over and die yesterday, so that machine is down until new memory chips are acquired!

timgradywy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sounds awesome. I just finished a uATX build with an i7-860 and was considering an i3-530 mini-ITX build for a media extender. I've been debating whether to use Windows 7 (eww) or run it as a hackintosh. I've also been trying to decide what to do for graphics. Considering trying to use the build in graphics, but also considering a 9400gt low profile card for easier digital sound output. Please keep us updated with your progress.

Krishna21 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 In the future for any Intel Core iX users, instead of using busratio, simply download [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported, it's made for Core iX processors and no need for busratio=xx just -v, and you're greeted with Install Succeded And you can use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to go to 10.6.4.

skullmonkey Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Just a quick question, hoping for quick short answer. Is it possible on GA-H55N-USB3 mb to get the ONBOARD HDMI (or DVI) to get 1080p on my tv, (to get OSX work properly?) I don't want to get extra Graphic Card. Is is possible to use the onboard Intel H55 HD Graphic to work?
