Hello,

 

I had a perfect Hackintosh with P5QPL-AM (ICH7) with everything working:

- Lan (Atheros)

- HD5670 (OTB)

- ALC 887 (VoodooHDA)

- BT dongle

- with working sleep/wake

 

The upgrade went perfectly OK with "rootless=0" added to Clover latest version...

 

Post installation problems:

- upon boot there is no picture until desktop loading logging window.

- Voodoohda is not working anymore, when I want to try any version it says that it is not compatible with my version of OS.

  If I install it anyway, it does not work - onboard sound chip is not recognized.

  I disable onboard sound and drop an old PCI CMI8738 SB and put the kext from Lion 64bit. It is working great upon boot

This might be acceptable (since it is old machine but:

- sleep is not working - it immediately boots again

- trying to put it to sleep breaks sound / only "cracks" are coming from speakers

 

Everything else is working, Hack it is set to be an iMac 11,1 from late 2009

 

Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Hi Fabio,

 

I know that by default it should be set to Mac Pro 3.1. But under Yosemite I had a perfectly stable machine with SMBIOS set to iMac11.1....Strange...

I investigated further and I think it might be the problem with USB...

I know that exist one utility with which you can test what wakes up / don't allow computer to go to sleep, but I forgot what it was, since I was doing that a long ago with SL...

Will remove all the connected stuff, test with MP 3.1 and reply.

No luck, the same issues...

 

Edit: investigation shows, that flags kext-dev-mode=1 and rootless=0 are OBSOLETE.

It is clear, that the following has to be used:

 

<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
</dict> 

 

Now I can reinstall VoodooHDA 2.8.8 and the rest unsigned kexts.

Sound is now working properly, still working on sleep issue
