Successful installed Snow Leopard on ZOTAC ZBOX HD-22 Mini PC using Retail DVD + iBoot loader and Mac OS X 10.6.4 Combo update

[GInGout]

For DSDT this post is excellent http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...3938&st=199

Fairly good, but I think the 500 pages manual would be needed to understand how to modify dsdt, instead of googling and cutting and pasting.

 

Any idea where a soft copy can be found?

[GInGout]

The problem is that I can't bring up the icon of the installation CD. It crashes before. However, I also suspect a problem relates to BIOS settings, what are your settings ? Can you discribe or give more detail instructions to help us to install Snow leopard ?

I burned [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.6 and tried the reportedly successful install method, but came up with result similar to yours.

 

I suspect this is more a problem of the DVD hardware used than BIOS settings. When I hit the F5 key to rescan for the installation DVD I can see the LED of the DVD blinked for a second, but Chameleon failed to see it.

 

Are you using genuine APPLE installation DVD?

Hi GInGout,

http://www.acpi.info for dsdt info.

Here is a copy of Reggie_SE someone posted on the web.

http://www.mediafire.com/?fvulcndwlh3

Reggie_SE must be run in 32bit mode.

I've installed via 10.6.3 vanilla install disk, but also from a usb stick (usb stick must be in fullspeed not highspeed).

I'm pretty sure my bios settings are optimised and then just AHCI + fullspeed.

To consistently boot to the install screen with a USB stick I have to move the files from my Extra folder to the Extra folder of the USB stick (namely dsdt.aml, extensions.mkext and smbios.plist) they may not all be required but I haven't tried other combinations. You can get these from one of my previous posts. Fire up [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and then chose the usb stick should work.

I have HDMI Audio on my MSI GX620 via NVEnabler64 and voodooHDA so I'm going to try that route again - I think I might have just got lucky with it though!

 

Audio comes out of Ubuntu 10.10 no problems, It is possible to mess around with the codec using hda-verb and I've found 3 ways to silence the stream and reenable it on linux. Trying the same thing with reggie_se on OSX unfortunately no go.

I have been testing with minimal edits to the factory dsdt to find out how stable the system is with the least number of kexts. Have had no problem putting the machine to sleep and waking it up multiple times (watching the zbox's system fan spinning down/up and LEDs turning on/off to confirm its status, confirmed via console diagnostic messages) using keyboard/mouse.

 

However once I enabled sound with VoodooHDA (versions 2.5.3, 2.5.6 and 2.7.2) I was able to wake up the box only once. The box would hang when put to sleep a second time.

 

BTW sound level through the analog output was lower after waking up but it can be corrected to normal volume by adjusting the volume up and down.

 

At this point in time I think the best way to get both audio codecs, ALC888 and Nvidia HDMI, is via dsdt injection with bin-hacked AppleHDA. See the following for inspiration :-

 

tmongkol's excellent article

 

Wish I have more knowledge regarding dsdt.

Great to hear you have dual screen working

BTW I think display A is DVI and display B is HDMI

[idoc]

I feel like a bit of an idiot, when I edited my DSDT I forgot to include the display-cfg for the 2 displays, so no surprise that only one display was being recognised! (As an aside you have to boot with IGPU set to 512M with 2 displays attached or you get a KP)

 

Here is a program to interact with the loaded codecs (with either AHDA or VHDA running) to see what values you can find or alter to get hdmi sound.

 

It just uses Reggie to send commands, to avoid having to enter user password all the time its best run with sudo

ie if you install CodecVerb on the Desktop, open a terminal window and type

sudo ~/Desktop/CodecVerb.app/Contents/MacOS/CodecVerb and enter your password. Obviously Reggie_SE needs to be installed with CHUD installer or Xcode.

It is set with default values for checking Node 0 of our Nvidia Codec, but should work on all machines.

 

It still think it is likely we don't have the correct NVCAP.

You will have to edit your previous post to update your Extra.zip

 

I think setting iGPU to 512M is probably a good idea even with single display, unless there is not enough RAM.

 

It still think it is likely we don't have the correct NVCAP.

You are probably right with your experience hacking HDA.

 

I think you will have the problem resolved real soon now.

Looking at the Nvidia/Realtek audio codec I'm pretty sure the audio side of HDMI audio is working.

This means the culprit is probably the nvidia drivers, matching these better to 320M or the iMac10,1 is probably the key.

Looking at the apple discussion forums there are a lot of people with hdmi audio isssues, so it might be slow progress.

Looking at the Nvidia/Realtek audio codec I'm pretty sure the audio side of HDMI audio is working.

This means the culprit is probably the nvidia drivers, matching these better to 320M or the iMac10,1 is probably the key.

Have you read the following article? Seems relevant to our case.

tmongkol' success with HDMI audio on GT220 and GT240

 

Looking at the apple discussion forums there are a lot of people with hdmi audio isssues, so it might be slow progress.

At InsanelyMac or Apple's own?

[idoc]

I am well versed on Tmongkol's excellent hacking/reverse engineering of the AppleHDA (many sleepless nights getting my HTPC working).

 

Unfortunately I don't think Audio is the problem here.

 

With AppleHDA 10.6.2 I have an audio stream playing (seen in Hallab Audio developer tool from xcode) and correct handshaking between the computer and the TV over the HDMI, ie device name shows up in Sound Preferences and the correct audio capabilities are shown in Audio MIDI setup.

 

I've also probed the Audio codec and the only difference between Apple and Linux is the pin widget being changed to DisplayPort instead of HDMI and changing it back on the fly changes the output of Sound Preferences to HDMI but no sound.

 

I think the issue is the Nvidia video drivers not allowing audio over HDMI (audio passthrough). If we could get the driver to load the 9400M driver for the iMac then I think we would have sound. I'm just not sure how to do this at present.

 

If the 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext doesn't give audio then we will have to patch AppleHDA.kext 10.6.3 as this definitely works with the iMac see here http://store.moshimonde.com/faq-minidisplayport-to-hdmi.

 

I have downloaded OpenGL_Extensions_Viewer_3.35 from ftp://ftp2.realtech-vr.com/realtechv/pub/glview335.dmg and this shows the driver on my 9600M (with HDMI Audio on 10.6.4) as "9600M driver" but the ZBox shows "ION driver", my bet is the Imac will show "9400M driver".

I've been trying to alter the DSDT injection to "simulate imac10,1 9400M" PCI settings, but no dice. I think the NVIDIA driver probably reads the PCI registers directly, so hacking of the NVDANV50Hal.kext is probably required - I'm not sure where to start, but ProjectOSX seem to lead the way in video hacks so I will post over there for some help.

 

discussions.apple.com has many threads on HDMI Audio issues even with "real macs" and similarly nvidia boards have complaints about their drivers!

Here is the dsdt I'm using for audio loading (and dual screen)

I think I am with you on this. I think all the Windoze driver does is setting some registers (probably only one) that connect the Nvidia codec to the HDMI audio digit output.

 

So close and yet so far.

[idoc]

I think linux may be the key here.

The 2 approaches that I see will work are

1. trick the NVIDIA driver into loading the 9400M driver which has audio pass through enabled. This will require hacking the NVDANV50Hal binary

2. Directly communicating with the NVIDIA board to set the audio passthrough flag correctly.

 

These two posts seem interesting

ps I've hosed my install about 5 times now, messing with stuff so don't worry about breaking sleep once in a while, I think its an easy fix once everything else is sorted.

 

http://www.mail-archive.com/nouveau@lists....g/msg06860.html

suggests GPIO pins need to be set correctly, this might be important - I'll look into it. No go I don't think ion/9400 is new enough to support this over HDMI.

 

I'm just reinstalling Win7 to try NiBiTor.

I was trying to fix the USB device removal problem so I needed functional sleep for testing.

I thought NiBiTor cannot be run under Win7. God mode? Haven't learn how to do that yet.

I think you are dead on.

 

These are very interesting articles. Already installed Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop to learn from them.

 

Only reason to do Hackintosh is to learn how things work, and learn from the expert.

any updates on HDMI audio?

 

read 4 pages and to recap - everything is working except HDMI audio right?

 

sleep, shutdown, wakeup all working?

 

TIA

[idoc]

Hi Mike,

I am unable to get HDMI audio working, the quickest solution is the one used by pre2010 mac mini's ie

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....rmat=4#feedback

The only other issue I seem to be having is a CMOS error on reboot after hibernate.

Hope this helps

Cheers

thank you.. can the CMOS error be fixed via dsdt (RTC fix) or it's another CMOS error?

[idoc]

CMOS error due to me messing around with various different installs. Fixed now.

I head many Problems to get everything working under 10.6.7, so for others who are not able to get sleep restart etc fixed here is my Extra folder Content and my Chameleon Version.

 

Bios Settings: Set IDE to AHCI, Video Ram to Max, ACPI S3, Power Button to Suspend, and Wake up on Lan in Bios, also I activated every Option in the Energy PrefPan (Systempreferences).

 

Content of Extra is:

com.apple.Boot.plist, dsdt.aml, smbios.plist (to enable remote cdrom drive), Extensions (ALC8XXHDA.kext, ElliottForeLegacyRTC.kext, fakesmc.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext)

 

Hope it may help someone.

 

P.S.: i changed the miniPCI card to get Wlan working. ;-)

what exactly did you choose in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]

 

it boots perfectly with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url],

and then [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] confuses me

 

i install it like this tell me what i have to change

 

 

many thanks

so could i just cut and paste your boot, chameleon, and extra folder in my hard drive root, and as long as i install mac os x 10.6.7 combo update it will boot, or are you just trying to show us what to do thanks

or do you use OSX86Tools to install these

 

many thanks again
