HI Guys,

 

I am trying to get OSX 10.6.6 Server installed on ASUS AT5NM10-I (Atom D525) motherboard.

 

Motherboard Spec

Integrated dual-core Intel® Atom™ processor D525/D510

Chipset: Intel® NM10

Memory: 2 x DIMM, Max. 4 GB, DDR2 800/667

Expansion Slots 1 x PCI

Integrated Intel Graphics Atom D525/D510

Max. shared memory: 256 MB

2 xSATA 3 Gb/s ports support AHCI mode

LAN PCIe Gb LAN (RTL8112L)

IDT73C 6-Channel High-Definition Audio CODEC

 

 

Install Procedure

 

Extensions Used

  • Evoreboot
  • fakesmc
  • jmicron36xsata
  • nullcpupowermanagement
  • openhaltrestart
  • platformuuid
  • realtekrtl81xx

 

 

Graphics & Resolution

Since this is a server, I am not overly fussed with resolution. I am only getting 1024x768

 

Sound

I am not fussed with sound as this is a server

 

Sleep

This is something I am trying to enable. When i click sleep, it seems to make some hdd noise but:

  • Monitor remains ON
  • Network goes OFF

 

I have tried putting the latest SleepEnabler.kext in /E/E and /S/L/E but still no go.

 

Can someone please help me get the sleep and DSDT working?

 

I ran DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e and placed the dsdt.aml file in /Extra folder, but I am not sure what I am meant to do with DSDT patching!! Here is the file.. (attached)

 

thanks

REMOVE

 

Evoreboot - restart Chameleon RC5

 

jmicron36xsata - you need it?

 

nullcpupowermanagement - nativePM use Chameleon RC5(from 10.6.2 your processor loses its native support, use it)

openhaltrestart - Shutdown in DSDT / restart chameleon RC5

 

platformuuid - Chameleon RC5

thank you very much mate. I am going to compile Chameleon RC5 and try out the changes right now.. this is so exciting! I had been banging my head against the wall for almost a couple of weeks

 

:D:)

just compiled Chameleon RC5 and disabled the kexts u mentioned above. Building clean caches using pfix..

 

jmicron36xsata - I use this as my internal HDD icons are orange.

use it in E/E

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=86095

hey mate,

 

I disabled all of the above mentioned kexts and now i get a couple of issues:

 

"No SMBIOS replacement found"

 

and then I get

 

"[ERROR] UUID='0123456789ABCDEF' syntax error"

 

and it hangs with the following:

 

AppleACPIPlatformExpert::start failed

"Unable to find driver for this platform"

 

edit 1

aha... I think Chameleon RC5 requires the kernel to be vanilla, i think it patches it on the fly..

I am currently using teamTeam kernel, which might explain the errors..

 

me trying vanilla kernel now

 

edit 2

no joy with vanilla kernel either. same issues

 

any help please?

thanks.. :)

 

this is what my com.apple.Boot.plist file looks like:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1024x768x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>PciRoot</key>
<string>1</string>
	<key>Wait</key>
	<string>y</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

can I simply add the smbios as a key string value to this file?

here is what I did overall:

 

added DSDT.aml

one from above

 

compile Chameleon RC5

 

mkdir temp
cd temp
svn co http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon/branches/meklort
cd meklort
make clean
make embedtheme
mv sym/i386/boot /boot

 

removed kexts

Evoreboot

nullcpupowermanagement

openhaltrestart

platformuuid

 

create caches

using pfix

 

added smbios.plist

one from above

 

 

results:

if i use kernel from 10.6.6, i get 1 error and black screen on kernel load:

"[ERROR] UUID='0123456789ABCDEF' syntax error"

 

if I use kernel from 10.6.1, i get same error as above and I get the following (screenshot attached) on kernel load.

 

any help please? :)

FINALLLLLY

 

some progress

 

I had made a mistake in installing meklort Chameleon RC5 over myhack installer version. you CANNOT simply cpoy the boot file as in my instructions above.

 

 

CORRECTIONS

 

- I had to install Chameleon RC5 using Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r828.zip

 

- Vanilla Kernel from 10.6.6 results in a black screen once the kernel is loaded. For now, I am using the TeaTeam's kernel with DSDT by MaLd0n (thanks again).

 

still no sleep BUT its running using only FakeSMC.kext

hey MaLd0n,

 

since this motherboard has 2 sata ports, I am using 2 hdds in striped raid (and booting from usb hdd). I had the same setup in Fedora.

 

I was getting around 35MB/sec read/write speed when I was using Fedora and with 10.6.6 I am only managing to get around 22MB/sec

 

Could this be related to the unrecognised sata ports? Do I need to edit my DSDT to speed up the sata performance?

  • 2 weeks later...

mate, I am uploading the logs. there are some LPC warnings in there along with other error messages that makes no sense to me at all..

 

example:

 

  • SATALink BA5 register space disabled
  • ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::pushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed
  • FakeSMC: key not found BEMB, length - 1
  • ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::pushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed
  • ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized
  • display: Not usable

 

 

- SATALink BA5 register space disabled - This seems to be from my PCI sata card

 

unrecognised sata:

I used AHCIPortInjector + IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector - in system profiler now displaying:

"Intel ICH7 AHCI" - is this correct for my motherboard?

 

sleep:

no luck still
