besweeet Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've had my GT680R-008US for about 30 hours. I'm ready to try and hackintosh it. Specs: Core i7-2630QM (4-cores, 8-threads, 2.00GHz, 2.9GHz Turbo Boost) 8GB RAM (4x2GB) Nvidia GTX 460M 1.5GB 500GB 7200RPM WD Scorpio Black HDD 64GB Corsair V64 SSD I'm trying to boot iATKOS S3 v2. I get an immediate kernel panic. I've already tried booting with "-v cpus=1", but the same thing happens. I'm guessing I need a kernel that's specific for Sandy Bridge, or can I try the Vanilla kernel? I do have a new idea though... I could try copying the contents of the retail DVD onto a blank 8GB partition, swap out the kernel and OSInstall.mpkg (so I can install 10.6.0 on MBR instead of GUID), and see if that works. Any ideas though, or any other boot arguments that I can try? Thanks. Here's an image of the kernel panic: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245657-msi-gt680-sandy-bridge-immediate-kernel-panic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
besweeet Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 FIXED! Had to boot with "busratio=8" . Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245657-msi-gt680-sandy-bridge-immediate-kernel-panic/#findComment-1631370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
besweeet Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've installed iATKOS S3 v2 (10.6.3). When booting with -f -v busratio=8 cpus=1, the boot process will eventually restart my computer. YES! I've booted into 10.6.3! I had to boot into Single-User Mode and removed AppleHDA*, NV*.

besweeet Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 So PS2 is working (no trackpad preferences, though), and the battery meter is working. I still need audio (VoodooHDA results in a loud "hissing" sound coming out of the speakers, and the actual audio playback is very choppy), VGA, and system profiler.

Sp0oner Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Interesting, will give this a try as assumed iatkos wouldn't support SandyBridge. I'll give it another go with busratio this time and see if I get any further.

Sp0oner Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm actually going to be trying a clean install of Lion 10.7 via a USB drive soon.

My iATKOS install wouldn't complete after several attempts last night I gave up. Just to get the installer to boot up I had to set busratio=20 cpus=1. On previous laptops (3 different models/makes) i've never had any issues booting iATKOS and so this Dell hardware really isn't liked by Hackintosh installs. For now I think i'm going to have to stick with my working vm and wait for those who know what they are doing to find an answer as I don't understand enough to try any more variations on getting it to work. I'd followed some instructions specific to an L702X but it had the 3d card and I didn't know how to change my dsdt.aml to amend the one provided for my different gpu so again got half way through and had to abandon ship.
