sukkel Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi everybody, My GA-P35-DS3R board is still running and I have upgraded to El Capitan. This time (for the first time) I used the Clover Bootloader. Installing was easy, only had injecting my NVIDIA 9600GT video (ASUS Video Board) and the system was up and running. Clover is fantastic, but I still have some questions: 1) Can I still use my old (patched) DSDT which I made for 10.5? In Chameleon it was operational till 10.9 without problems. I never installed 10.10, because I found that upgrade not interesting enough. 2) Is it possible to use UEFI, because I made use of the ESP without UEFI-settings. Don't know if my board is compatible with UEFI, I don't understand the differences and don't know if I have to change BIOS-settings for using UEFI. 3) It seems that Clover is generating some kind of DSDT, but I don't find it in my EFI-partition. What will happen when I put in an own Patched-DSDT into Clover, do I have to change the Boot-flags in Clover? 4) What is the best machine for emulating a Mac on this board? In the past I used Mac Pro 3,1, but Clover tells me I have an iMac (medio 2007) If you have a similar board and also use Clover, please let me know. I'm also willing to help others, but I'm not really specialized in Hackintosh. I'm very experienced in 'trial and error'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artur_pt Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 hello u don't have uefi with that old board .. must install in legacy u can use macpro3,1 just insert the values in smbios section clover can use several fix to dsdt .. but if u go use a patched dsdt .. should disable any fix and read about clover here https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration#Config.plist-structure good hack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukkel Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thx Arthur, That's a helpful answer and much appreciated! Then I'm gonna try my old DSDT-patches with disabled Clover fixes. I hope I'm not gonna screw up my hole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukkel Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Finally decided to tweak the config.plist file with the help of the Clover-wiki. S-States doesn't seem to work, system sleeps with fans turning. Only 2 USB ports are recognized as USB2. On my computer USB2 means there are 2 USB-ports! (the others are now USB1) Audio works, Ethernet works, AppStore works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also willing to help others, but I'm not really specialized in Hackintosh. I'm very experienced in 'trial and error'! I have the same board and I was able to successfully install 10.11.4. I used the latest Clover with (Legacy boot mode, ALC885/889a, RealtekRTL8111 v2.1.0d1, Inject NVIDIA). Everything works except: waking from sleep will reboot the computer and some legacy USB mouse and keyboard will not work. If you can solve the sleep issue please let me know.

sukkel Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have the same board and I was able to successfully install 10.11.4. I used the latest Unibest for El Capitan and followed up with Multibest with (Legacy boot mode, ALC885/889a, RealtekRTL8111 v2.1.0d1, Inject NVIDIA). Everything works except: waking from sleep will reboot the computer and some legacy USB mouse and keyboard will not work. If you can solve the sleep issue please let me know. I have no experience with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], only with Chameleon and now with Clover, but it seems that [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] is also clover, so we can help each other. I use Legacy bootmode and only inject NVIDIA. Audio works with settings in the config.plist, but I only use stereo and didn't try every port. Using the same kext for Ethernet (RealtekRTL8111). I think the USB-ports are conflicting with the sleep mode, but I'm not sure. Have to read and understand how to configure all the ports as USB2. At the moment I'm to busy, but when I have time, I wil figure it out and let you know. Do you have only 2 USB ports in this configuration, or are all your ports USB2? This is my config.plist after patching, maybe it's helpful or do you have better suggestions: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"

oracle100 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Sukkel, Yes, I only have 2 USB 2.0 ports showing under System Report. The rest are all USB 1.0. I cannot locate which ports are USB 2.0. I tried plugging in all the USB ports with my legacy mouse but none came up as USB 2.0. When I inserted a USB flash drive it came up under USB 2.0. As far as the sleep issue, here are some of the settings I tried with Clover Configurator: Changed FixShutdown to true, no effect darkwake = 0, no effect neverHibernate to true, no effect fixUSB to true, no effect tried -gux_defer_usb2 -gux_no_idle -gux_nosleep based on this theory (Hackintosh restarts instead of shutting down, and it doesn't sleep) Did not work.

OK, I expected the same results, but was hoping you did find any clue. I'm gonna try a DSDT fix with changing port names, it would be the answer, I guess.
