SilverB Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Could you please tell me your BIOS setting and what video/graphics card are you using? My struggle is, in AHCI mode I only get one SATA port out of 5, now either I can connect a SATA HD on it or a SATA DVD. I feel cursed. Above all stupid on-board ATI Radeon HD4250. Went and bought another stupid card "GALAXY" 8400GS 512RAM, as every other manufacturer is working. Here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...39203&st=40 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H (rev. 1.3) Cpu: AMD Phenom II x6 1055T Thanks. Overclock Bios settings, check this one., works fine. http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboards/...y-problems.html Just remember get a good cooler.

sirbow2 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 UPDATE3: if you are having root device problems or general SATA issues (not detecting HD/DVD) Restore your bios to the FC5 bios! THanks Rindigo i forgot to add that to my post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veacheslav Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 sirbow2 How did you compile the DSDT.dsl file? I tried to compile dsdt file from first post and received 40 errors.

sirbow2 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 im not good at dsdt stuff, i had other people do most of my editing. although what i do recommend is to search your errors in google or this forum to fix these errors it could be a mis spell, a missing comma, bracket or many other things. im not much help here sorry :angry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisto91 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm getting could not probe device and I'm on the FC bios. I get the could not probe device when the dvd drive is above the hd but I get could not mount disk when the dvd drive is to the right of the hd. This is more frustrating then it needs to be.

eisdrachen Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Guys i dont know what youre doing! try switching sata ports, tinker with it a little Now, for once i have a question for you guys Simple: would leaving a desktop computer (just the case with mobo etc not monitor) in a car which is in a shed that is under freezing almost 24/7 for 2-3 weeks hurt the computer? (not running, just storing it) Advance: i got grounded, my parents left for a 2 week vacation, put my computer in the shed(so i wouldnt use it), they arent tech savvy If you do this be sure that it could take damage to your hardware-parts! Specially HDDs are very sensible if it's cold or hot. It could, don't must. I would not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisto91 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Alright I got it working using the nawcom boot disc! But now I have more problems. I can boot into 10.6 using the boot disc but when I try any combo update they all fail. So I just did them one by one and I got up tp 10.6.2. But after that they all fail whether it be a combo update or the update to 10.6.3. I do the myhack thing right after i boot into 10.6 so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Also does anyone else have a problem when an installation ends and you click on restart but it doesn't restart? Oh and when I try to put through Chameleon and not through the disc it just restarts. I need some help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirbow2 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 nisto91 try downloading the 10.6.5 update from the apple website (the full one that goes from any version to 10.6.5) and try that. i never had any update issues. lol osx always works for me(mostly), but you guys always seem to have issues?

nisto91 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The thing about the 10.6.5 combo update is that it fails 50% of the time and when its successful it never actually goes to 10.6.5 on reboot it just stays on 10.6.2 or whatever I had before.

nisto91 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 This is becoming quite a pain in the ass. The combo to 10.6.5 still doesn't work (i'm on 10.6.3). I can only boot from the bootcd otherqise I get a kp or it just reboots. I don't know how this happens, I tried 3 kernels already (all legacy). I would really like to get this over with considering I've gotten this far. Oh and am I supposed to delete any kexts or anything prior to attempting the combo update..?

sirbow2 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I added an update for my guide( update 6 or some thing) it has instructions (step by Step) to get 10.6.5 to work. PS 10.6.6 is out you dont need to do anything. PS2 i also have updated the guide for sleep!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisto91 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Mohamed, before I could even try your method I got it working; all I needed to do was a cpuid patch with the Maxxus patcher and then I ran pfix in the terminal and I got it to update Now my USB's are dropping for some reason and 64 bit won't work..well it will it just wont run most 32 bit apps. Maybe it's normal for amd. Sirbow, those codes that you have in the guide are done automatically when you install the 10.6.5 kernel package http://nawcom.com/osx86/files/10.6/Kernels...-10.5.0.pkg.zip For anyone having problems I would highly advise downloading pfix and running it in the terminal before you update.

phen123 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hej! I am back after several months I was using my 10.5.4 lawlessppc and I wanted to try again to install 10.6. I installed 10.5.8 ideneb 1.6 with the list of kexts given in this page. However I can only boot with at least -x and busratio otherwise it will not boot. From this partition I installed 10.6.3 and finally was able to boot in mac os x!! I was so glad! I was always stuck at the acpi_smc_platform timed out and I think it was because of my 4870 not recognised. I removed the content of the IOPCImatch in the ATIRadeonX2000.kext because it contained plenty of device ids and I think it was clashing with the one in my ati4800controller.kext. I added evoenabler.kext. I finally got passed the acpi_smc_platform timed out to get a black screen with no signal. The computer did not even reboot. I removed the -x and instead of a black screen I had 10.6! I was very happy to be able to boot into 10.6 but I keep having kernel panics though every now and then when I want to do heavy disk activity like installing a program. I have installed the legacy_kernel-10.3.0 because the kernel I installed before was even worse. I removed from my extra/extensions the appleatiata.kext and the jmicronATA.kext because I read that: "I get a kernel panic during heavy disk activity This is a known bug with certain ATA kexts in 64-bit mode (specially with more than 4GB RAM)" in the Voodoo kernel user documentation pdf. I still have these kexts in my extra/extensions appleRTC disabler evoenabler fakesmc ioAHCIBlockStorageInjector IONetworkFamily NullCPUPowerManagement OpenHaltRestart platformUUID RealtekR1000SL I want to try to remove some kexts to see only the ones that I need in case one of those gives me the kernel panic. I went in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports to see the panic logs and this is the first part : Thread 0: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x006ee2fa mach_msg_trap + 10 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x006eea67 mach_msg + 68 2 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00a1000f __CFRunLoopRun + 2079 3 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00a0f0f4 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 452 4 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00a0ef21 CFRunLoopRunInMode + 97 5 mds 0x0000defc 0x1000 + 52988 6 mds 0x00005331 0x1000 + 17201 I attached the file in this post. If anyone encountered frequent kernel panics in 10.6.3 I would be glad to hear some ideas of how to fix this. I haven't tried installing the 10.6.4 because I am afraid that in the middle of the installation I will have a kernel panic and that I will have to reinstall 10.6 entirely because of the crash.
