fantomas Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 happy for you ! but your problem with HD 4850 is the driver ; if you tell us what's your SL build , maybe we can help you with your HD 4850 even if you solved your problem by putting another graphic card !

Hi, and thx for trying to help me. im using osx build 10a432 if i could use the ati 4850 it would be great cause its a lot faster than the 8500 gt.

fantomas Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 So you have Snow Leopard 10.6.0 ! firstly , i suggest you to instal the last 10.6.8 update , you need to use 10.6.8 Combo update to go directly from 10.6.0 to 10.6.8 !!!

Hi, i droped that version and installed 10.6.6i osx it works great with the nvdia 8500 gt but still with the ati 4850 i get the error when i try to boot in normal mode. if i try to boot with -x, the system starts ok but i cant change the resolution. and when i opened the system profiler it recognizes the card as ati 4890. i think this is the problem Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259871-trying-to-install-sl-on-p5k-e-wifi/#findComment-1710080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoal Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 ok , but what's about the update build 10.6.8 on Apple Update Software ? You can do it or non ? to tell the truth this version of the mac is working so smoothly with the 8500gt (qe/ci=okokok) that im afraid that i`ll ruin it with the update. and i dont know if i can update the hazard osx Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259871-trying-to-install-sl-on-p5k-e-wifi/#findComment-1710823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellInTheBox Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hello Neoal, My system is almost the same as yours. Try installing a distro called Hazard 10.6.6i. Set the bios to AHCI. There are two places you should turn on AHCI on the bios (Main page and Advanced/Chipset). Also select S3. During the Hazard install you can/should use the following options on customize: Chameleon RC5, ATIFramebuffer, Marvell 88E8056, RTL8187L, JMicronATA, AHCISataFix, DSDT_Patcher After Installation download and install VoodooHDA 2.7.2 from official site. Everything should work fine, except minor issues with the 4850 resolution and the RTL8187L not connecting properly. It's possible to update the system to 10.6.8, as stated on the official Hazard Forum by MagicFox here: http://leohazard.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1243 Good luck.

neoal Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 thx bellinthebox i tried to make the update but instead of having an updated hackintosh i finished up with a broken hard drive. i dont know if it was the fault of the update or the hard drive, but i do know that i lost everything that i had on that drive ( anyway thx Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259871-trying-to-install-sl-on-p5k-e-wifi/#findComment-1778914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Set the bios to AHCI. There are two places you should turn on AHCI on the bios (Main page and Advanced/Chipset). AHCI and ACPI are not the same thing.
