Build Log:

 

System Hardware

CPU : Intel i7 2600K

MB : GA GA-P67A-UD3-B3 rev 1.1 - F5

RAM : 16 GB DDR3 (2 x 2 Gskill RipjawX Twin kit)

GFX : Saphire HD6870 1GB DDR5

OS : Lion 10.7

 

DSDT mod

Standard Patch with DSDT patcher + HDA + Power management (from SSDT) patch.

 

Non vanilla Kext

E/E : FakeSMC with plugins, NullCPUPowerManagement, Sleepenabler.

S/L/E : Patched AppleHDA.kext (for ALC889), PXHCD (USB3), Realtek Gigabit Ethernet 2.0 (from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url])

 

Running for a few days, everything works as it is.

 

Not working / Errors.

Screen tearing occurs in safari and some other software with Duckweed Framebuffer, Gibba works but slow OpenGL score in CinebenchX.

Native Sleep and wake works but with CMOS reset (revert back to sleep enabler)

Native Speedstep works but revert back to NullCPUPM to use Sleep enabler.

Airport spam in console.

 

Things to do.

Edit DSDT to fix orange Drive Icons. (*edit, done. added device id to sata)

Edit DSDT for GFX once I sort out the Framebuffer issue.

Fix CMOS reset for native Power Management. (currently only patching the RTC will work)

Get a Airport card to see if it stop the Console Message Spam.

 

The above is my Build, comment and suggestions are welcome, any solutions to my problems will be greatly appreciated.

I will also try to answer any question you have regarding my system.

Thanks to all that make using Hackintosh a joy.

Hi, I'm working with the GA-P67A-UD3-B3. I seem to be stuck at the way beginning. :/

 

Hardware on this particular system:

-GA-P67A-UD3-B3 (rev 1.1, f4)

-intel core i7-2600k

-4gb ram at the moment for the install

-MSI Twin Frozr N560GTX-Ti (is this my problem? others have supposedly gotten it to work. I have an older ati radeon x1300 pro available to swap if that helps.)

 

When i try to boot [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (3.1.1), it loads a little bit. But before anything shows up, the computer restarts, stuck in a reboot loop. I think I have my BIOS settings correct and I tried burning multiple copies of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (all have the same result).

 

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy boots up but when I replace the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc with the OSX retail disc and press f5, it boots from somewhere else (windows partition - says something about NTLDR, tells me to restart by pressing ctrl+alt+dlt)

 

Ive tried other boot loaders but i can never get lion or sl to start the installation, always reboots my computer before the installer starts.

 

Do you think you could help me out?

 

UPDATE:

tried the x1300 pro. same symptoms :/

The spam message happens every time you open a folder in finder? If that's the case you can get rid of it just enabling AirDrop.

I don't totally understand the speedstep problem, but you have to edit a plist to get all multipliers working, otherwise you'll only get the lower normal and higher turbo states (16 + 38)

 

Just use the files I've attached to replace the model you're "simulating". I've uploaded only the MacPro3,1 and iMac12,2 models, those are the recommended for the 2600k. Here are the files you have to replace:

/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/

I'm currently using the MacPro model cause the iMac makes weird sounds when turning on and off the audio system.

 

For the CMOS reset, patching AppleRTC is enough, once patched you should be able to use the native pm, solving any sleep issue.

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x75\x30\x44\x89\xf8|\xeb\x30\x44\x89\xf8|; s|\x75\x3d\x8b\x75\x08|\xeb\x3d\x8b\x75\x08|' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleRTC

Hi DamnedCat

 

That certainly seems to have done something! Before, if I tried to put my Hack to sleep appeared to sleep/power down for a moment, but then came back on instantly (I had to physically unplug and reattach my USB peripherals to get them working, too).

 

After adding your modded plist for the Mac Pro 3.1 (the profile I was already using) the system we start going to sleep (screen turns off, system stops responding) but the lights and fans remain on and nothing I do wakes it up.

 

I therefore have to manually restart the machine (which seems to take a little longer).

Could this be because I'm using an i5 2500k, not the i7 2600k?

 

I thing editing this plist has put me on the right track. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks for your help thus far!!!

Have you already done the RTC patching? It's important to do so for native sleep support. Also you have to remove the nullcpupm, sleepenabler & elliot_legacyrtc (if you have them). The cpu difference won't matter between these SB models, as long as you don't mess with the SSDT.

Another thing that may add to the problem is if chameleon is generating your P&C states or not. In my system I don't need to generate them (taken from the bios directly I assume) but I don't know if that works for everybody. Try and generate them with chameleon, just add the keys to the org.chameleon.boot.plist using Chameleon Wizard, reboot & test for sleep.

Good luck!

 

EDIT: I think the USB3 driver breaks sleep but I'm not so sure as I don't even enable the ports, so that's one more thing to keep a tally of.

Hmmm, still no change, even after deleting the USB 3.0 kext. I think my SSDT may be the problem, not sure though. May also be something in the bios. I'll have to play with P and C states too.

 

May try a clean install. Any ideas? Anything I may have missed in the BIOS or the /Extras folder?

 

Thanks again for the help!

In the bios make sure to force enable all cpu features, I think some may be turned off when set on auto. Here's a complete guide with bios preferences for this mobo. LINK

If you're using the latest chameleon you may generate p&c states with it and delete the ssdt. Well, that's all I've got for now, hope any of that helps.
