djR3Z Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I finally figured out why I couldn't boot from the hard drive. Got that sorted out, but ethernet won't work. Can someone help me solve this? I have a Foxconn Intel P55 mobo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_Evo Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Have you tried to turn on built in ethernet function? add this to apple.boot.plist: <key>Ethernetbuiltin</key> <string>YES</string> I hope it will help you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually already in there. Won't work :/ I'll also note that the audio doesn't work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Going off the spec of this board This should work The other p55 use Gigabit Lan by Broadcom® BCM57780 go to kext.com to find the correct kext. Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone help me solve this? I have a Foxconn Intel P55 mobo. Thanks! Realtek has released new drivers for all 8111 network cards, try them. also here in this forum is a newer driver round. or use Realtek1000SL driver. use kextutility or do the right thing ( permissions, mkext-build, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodluck I actually have this board so I downloaded the broadcom kext and installed it. Still no luck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :/ I feel so close yet so far lol. I think what most confuses me is why it all works perfectly when booting from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD but I can't get anything to work booting from the hard drive. Thanks for continuing to try to help me guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djR3Z Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Inferno Katana has a Realtec Lan It worked!!! Thank you!! Now I need to figure out how to get the audio to work. Any chance you could help me with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Will see if you can use appleHDA audio, you might need to edit your DSDT to get it going but give me time will post you info. Great it worked out, just trial and error can be frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I downloaded the audio driver and undid the driver pkg for your board but it has all Realtek 8xx series drivers so can't find out the one used on your board that way. Lets try to get it through windows by using this and then you will know exactly what you have. See if you can then look it up or post back.

I don't have windows installed :/ And my VM in Parallels refuses to work on the new install (not sure if thats a hackintosh issue or what). Is there a Mac alternative?

Hangten Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Go get this Hirens.BootCD.11.1.zip Filesize: 292.1 MB (306289817 bytes) To help you burn: Great for burning .ISO Last part once you made a bootcd Set your DVD/RW drive to IDE and then switch back if you can't get into XP mini to boot! I have a mixed bag and all my Intel set to ACHI mode and my 4 jmicron to IDE so I use both and don't have to keep changing stuff when one needs the use of DOS or firmware flashing that will not work in ACHI. Use the tools "system information" tap and there should be PC-wizard" There might be a simpler way but if someone else wants to help... feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangten Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 888 kext U need a certain kext to enable it.... There's one floating around so you don't have to edit your DSDT for HDAaudio that will go in the E/E folder and make sure to use the kext utility to. 2 total kext's need to be installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djR3Z Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I ended up getting it working with AppleHDA_1.8.7f1_ALC888_LayoutID_888.zip from this thread . Thank you so much man. Are there any other things I should do for kexts I should get so my system is running top notch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
