Kernel Panic (Hazard 10.6.6)

[bulone]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to get Hazard 10.6.6 work on my Sony Vaio FW455D laptop and still can't manage to. Installation went pretty smoothly, but I got kernel panic at startup. I've tried several combination of custom options(different ATI driver, no ethernet, no wifi etc) in installation, and the best I could achieve is be able to get in with safe mode. You can see Kernel panic screen in attach.

 

This is spec of my lappy :

Core2Duo

ATI 4650m 512mb

DDR2 4gb

SATA 320gb

 

For what is worth, I have win7 running in another partition. So it's dual boot.

remove Voodoobatery

remove Voodoobatery

 

I did remove voodoobattery in previous attempts, but it seems to me that reinstalling without erasing partition left that kext file from my first attempt intact and caused kernel panic. So, this time I erased partition before I reinstall and voila works like a charm. Thanks a bunch.

 

Here, another problem though. I'd like to use my external USB HDD, and when it is connected, I get this error message -

"Tuxera NTFS could not mount /dev/disk2s1 at /volumes/data because the following problem occured : /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load -(libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions): check the system/kernel system logs for error or try kextutil(8). The Macfuse file system is not available(71)."

 

and this -

"System extension "Library/filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext was installed improperly cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact the product's vendor for an update"

 

I'm not sure what these messages are suggesting. Is it driver causing a problem and I need to find a driver that works with my lappy or I'm installing driver wrong.

 

For what is worth, during installation, at random point, the installation would stall and the bar would not refresh until I click random keys like arrow; otherwise it would not finish.

Hi bulone, i have a Vaio Fw too.

 

 

I used to have iatkos v7 (leopard) and got a fairly working installation

except for my graphics card (atihd4650),

battery management and metre,

and wireless card,(i just replaced the intel5100 with one that was osx compatible (broadxom chip) and it worked)

 

But some tries i made to install Snow Leopard using snowLeo and iatkos s3v2 didn;t work out so well.

 

With Hazard 10.6.6 out now id like to give it another try.

 

Could you pls tell me what configuration did you use with the Hazard and what rate success did you have?

 

 

 

 

thanx a lot

[bulone]

Hi Argotera,

 

First off I'd like to clarify that it's Hazard 10.6.6i. I've only realized later I had missed "i". Anyway, to answer your question, with Hazard, the success rate is almost exactly the same of your iatkos. Meaning :

 

1) No full resolution(Mine is 1600x900). The best I can manage is odd screen resolution like 1115xsomething (Don't quote me on that) by using "Graphics Mode"="__X__X32"(put anything higher than default resolution 1024x768 ). Trick from this post ( http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=204348 ), doesn't work on mine.

 

2) No sound, No Ethernet, No wifi, No battery meter. Other than that, it works fairly well.

 

If you still want to know what combination of settings I use in installation, let me know. By the way what broadcom driver did u use in iatkos?

[argotera]

Hi, thanx for your swift reply.

 

Yes, pls take the time and tell me the exact combination of settings for hazard. i am very interested.

 

1. too bad, i had this in mind to try in a new SL installation, in my previous iatkos v7 i did the same trick as yours,

 

 

i didn't use any driver. bcm4322 (also found as dell1510, Broadcom bcm94322) is seen as native airport. You can find tons of these on ebay. Just make sure it's half-height.

 

Now as far as i can help:

(mind that i wrote the following for a guide a long time ago and i just copied now, it maybe over simplified)

 

 

 

Sound:

 

for sound i used the following guide.That solution gave me sound but no mic, and if you want to listen through headphones you ll have to choose it manually via system preferences->sound

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83633

 

mind that the above link uses terminal commands and stuff.

 

forget that, delete the kexts it says,

 

put the kexts it says in the folder,

 

and then run kext utility

 

finally repair permissions via disk utility

 

i used the “alc262 200” although mine is alc262E00 but it would work with any of the other posted editions I tried.

 

 

Maybe there are other full and better solutions, i ve read stories abour using Voodoo and apple hda on vaios FW, but i couldn't get anyone else to work on mine

 

 

Ethernet:

 

to get Ethernet I found the solution in the following page,

 

http://justinlebeuf.com/article.php?story=20091119214821372

 

 

 

Here is what you should do,

 

First find the subsys of your Ethernet card. If you already have windows,

 

Open up Device Manager,

 

expand network adapters,

 

right click “marvell 88e8055 pci-e”, choose properties,

 

in the newly opened box,

 

choose the details tab,

 

choose “hardware ids” from the drop down menu,

 

there is something like

 

 

 

PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4363&SUBSYS_9035104D&REV_14

 

 

 

The number and letters after “SUBSYS_” and before the & symbol is what you ll need. Write it down, mine was 9035104D as you can see

 

 

 

Go to

 

/System/Library/Extensions

find the

 

IONetworkingFamily.kext

and copy it somewhere in your desktop.

right click the desktop copy,

 

choose "show package contents"

it opens in a new window,

 

go to contents/plugins,

find apple2yukon.kext,

right click it, "show package contents",

again in the newly opened window navigate to contents and find info.plist

open it with (textedit is the default program) and edit it

 

 

 

find the paragraph where it says

 

 

 

88E8055

 

 

 

Carefull now, not the 88E8055-B0

 

 

 

There find the lines

 

<key>IOPCISecondaryMatch</key>

<string>0x????????</string>

 

 

 

Replace the ???????? with your subsystem id

 

 

 

for reference mine secondary match was 9035104D. i have a fw51zf but I don’t think it matters.

 

so i edited mine from

 

<key>IOPCISecondaryMatch</key>

<string>0x00ba11ab</string>

 

to

 

<key>IOPCISecondaryMatch</key>

<string>0x9035104D</string>

 

after you finish editing the info.plist,

 

just close and save everything.

 

Now you should have a modified ionetworking.kext file on your desktop. Use it to replace the original ionetworking. file (if you want you can keep a back up of the original).

it will ask you for your password to replace it, do it.

 

then open the kext utility, let it to its job, and when it finishes quit that utility

 

then open disk utility. (it is a program of the osx, you can find it in the spotlight, or in applications->utilities

choose the partition on which you have the osx installed,

and press the "repair permissions" button.

 

it will do its work for a couple of minutes. after it completes

and probably after some seconds, the system will give you a notice something like "ethernet

 

found" and you are ok.

 

 

 

 

 

A quick note here: If you have difficulties editing a system file, like the info.plist i.e. copy it somewhere else, edit it and then replace the original with the your desired one, it ll only asks your password once.

Hmmm...Maybe in a VoodooBattery Kernel Panic u should try to see if there is an updated version of VoodooBattery to remedy the kernel panic situation that u are having...Also, a point about your ATI video and your Sony laptop. I believe I have heard that there may be unresolvable issues with Sony VAIO laptop displays not working correctly with Hackintosh.

[bulone]

Hello Argotera,

Thanks a bunch for all the instructions. I'll try and see how it goes.

 

As for combination I used in installing Hazard -

- Choose latest RC for Chameleon (I think it's RC5). That's it for this section.

- Choose Legacy Kernel

- Choose Atiframebuffer for Graphics

- Choose cardreader (Can't recall what section it is from. But it's easy to spot. You'd find it.)

 

That's it. I didn't install any patch at all. Though, I've tried with voodoo battery, as you noted in my original post, I got kernel panic.

 

One important thing to note is, don't install turix. When I did and connect my USB hdd, I kept on getting error and failed. And also, I had no access to my local ntfs partition either. After I opted it out, now I have access to usb hdd and my partitions without any problem. Hope that's help.

Thanks for the tip.

@ smaxx2010: thanx for the tip.

I searched and it seems the problem for us is the Laptop version of ATI hd4650.

 

The Voodoo battery did not seem to work even when i had leopard.

 

@Bulone

 

1. what's turix?

 

2. I tried the config you used +broadcom fix. It seems that installing legacy kernel on my notebook (vgn-fw51zf) has the opposite effect compared to yours. when i do install it just does not boot. it powers off while on the apple logo screen. booting with -x -f -v had the same result. If i don't install legacy kernel it boots fine.

 

3. I tried with and without voodoo trackpad. Does tapping your trackpad work as a left click?

 

P.S. replacing The ionetworkingfamily.kext with the modified one i used for leopard did the trick, ethernet working ok.

1. Turix allow you to read NTFS drives and partition. But, the effect is opposite on my laptop. When it was installed, I kept getting error whenever I connect my USB ntfs hdd and failed to connect. Once I opted it out, OS detects both ntfs partition and usb ntfs hdd.

 

2. Mine is VGN-FW455D. When I opted out legacy kernel, it stuck at some sort of like command prompt and did not load GUI at all.

 

3. Nope. Tapping doesn't work at all.

 

Can you share ethernet kext that you use?

[argotera]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, i was on a trip.

 

here is your file:

 

http://www.sendspace.com/file/r8q4hr

 

just replace the one with the same name in the directory:

 

system/library/extensions

 

However this is custom made to my ethernet card. and i am not so sure it will work to yours after the "kernel legacy difference" our laptops have. try and post the results you have nothing to lose.

 

about the turix,

i saw the "NTFS" option in hazard configure page. I didn;t choose it. I can read ntfs but not write, don;t know what's wrong.

 

what method did you use for dual boot?
