I find that Kext Utility is much easier for rebuilding the kext caches. Just drag the /Extra/Extensions folder to the app icon and put in your password - done.

 

The Abits have the ALC888 chip.

 

Freaky Chokra, I could still use help patching the DSDT. Haven't given up on getting sleep working. :)

Hey Kasakka!

 

I've just been helping out another fellow about same thing. ;)

Wat status your rig currently?

 

No progress?

Try installing Sleepenabler.kext (10.6.x) and VoodooPowerMini.

With NullCPUPowermnagement.kext too...

And about DSDT... u tell me.

 

Regards,

Freaky Chokra :)

No progress I'm afraid. I tried installing SleepEnabler, VoodooPowerMini and NullCPUPowerManagement. Same results. I even tried going back to GraphicsEnabler for graphics and disabling all unnecessary devices (network, FireWire, audio, extra PCI-E slots) but it made no difference.

 

Not quite sure what doesn't come back to life when returning from sleep - USB devices, CPU, graphics card or all of them.

 

For the record I had the same problem in Leopard 10.5.x with a 8800 GT using an EFI string and back then everything was patched via extra kexts in /S/L/E.

Very interesting thread!

 

I too am trying to setup OS X on an Abit IP35. My main machine is an i7 and this ones an older one that was sitting under my desk, unused for 18 months. Why not put it to good use? There's not a lot of info around for these boards, the best I could ascertain was that the IP35-Pro was the closest relative - my researching suggests the IP35-E has a (slightly) different chipset.

 

Specs of each board:

 

IP35 - http://www.abit.com.tw/page/uk/motherboard...p;fMTYPE=LGA775

 

IP35-E - http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard...DEL_NAME=IP35-E

 

IP35 Pro - http://www.abit.com.tw/page/au/motherboard...p;fMTYPE=LGA775

 

The IP35 and IP-35 Pro both use the P35 + ICH9R Chipset, whereas the -E is P35 + ICH9. (No 'R'). Lacks RAID and 1394/FireWire. I worried this was enough of a difference to render all the IP35-E setup info as being not useful.

 

I had a lot of headaches trying to find information pertaining to this board, and osx86 installs in general - but with a little clever thinking I was able to get OS X installed using a rather different method. I'm not sure if others have installed OS X in such a way, but in any case, it made the process for me very, very simple.. I can't post up a tutorial / discussion til I get some more posts though ;)

To add; I'm very very very new to the whole OS X thing. What I've done tonight was my first go ever at installing OS X on non-apple hardware. Kinda glad I got it working.

 

If "Vanilla" means that OS X is unmodified - exactly as Apple built it, therefore no modified kernels etc - thats what I've got.

 

Sleep doesn't work, nor does network or audio. ATI Graphics, only have a screen res of 1024x768 available. I'm guessing I need to add in drivers etc to make things work proper. But I can boot, restart/shutdown OK, USB works for Memory sticks, Keyboard and Mouse. Hardware is fairly bare bones, consisting of:

 

- IP35 Motherboard

- ATI X1600-based graphics card

- 40GB SATA HDD

- 2GB RAM

- Core 2 Duo 1.86gHz (E6320)

- Apple keyboard and mouse

Yup, the IP35 Pro and -E are pretty much the same. the Pro has a different network card (Realtek instead of Marvell) while the -E doesn't have an option for AHCI in its BIOS but it seems to work anyway.

 

Try turning on GraphicsEnabler (type GraphicsEnabler=y in boot loader) to get the graphics card working right and you can find the modified networking kext in the first post of this thread. Install that to /System/Library/Extensions, but remember to back up the original one first. It helps to set a color label for the modified files so you remember that the networking kext is not original.
