greenman100 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Credit for this guide needs to be given to thedguy, ConroeMac, SABR and finally Diego Sampaio. ========= ------ ========= This guide uses 10.4.8 Jas. Motherboard: Biostar TForce 965P. Beauty of this board is PS2/USB all function out of the box, and ultra cheap overclocking. Audio is a simple edit. If you are desperate to get IDE to work you’ll need an: SATA to IDE converter (Beware of which SATA converter you get as you can buy them to work in the wrong direction.) Rosewill RC-204 will work fine. I've got this (connected to my dvd-rw) and I believe a few other members do as well. or USB to IDE converter. Now that you’ve got all the hardware, and in the case, here’s how to plug everything in so it’ll work, and how to setup the BIOS. First Hook up your SATA Hard Drive to the Orange ports on the board. Then connect your Sata DVD (or IDE converted to USB) to the USB ports.* Now fire up your lovely new system, if all goes well you should be able to go on... ===================== ------------------- ===================== Press DEL and go into the bios, set the SATA controller to use AHCI. Save the bios settings and throw your OSX install disc, pick the following options: Comvo Update Semthex Kernel ICH8 support any others you want You should have a working installation of OSX. I'm aware there are gaps, but I did not feel like typing out how to install osx once the cd booted, it's been done time and time again. I may add it later. Time for a little plagiarism at the expense of ConroeMac and Rammjet There are several options for these next steps, I made a simple script for fixing reboot and the audio, but if you want to do it manually the info is just blow. The script is at the bottom of this post. Keep in mind there are 2 ways to fix the restart problem. If the first option does work, my script probably won't (or it may if your just having issues with typos), you can try the post further down this page. Fix Audio: 1. Delete AppleHDA.kext: In Terminal, type: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache 2) Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext: In Terminal, type: sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w): <key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key> change the string to: <string>0x10ec0883</string> Exit pico sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w): <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> change the string to: <string>0x284b8086</string> Exit pico 3) Clean up the system: In Terminal, type: sudo diskutil repairpermissions / sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ 4) Then, reboot and enjoy sound out of two channels. VIA IDE does nto work at this point. Please post if you can figure it out. ==========++++++++++++=========== ------------ My script for after first boot--------------- ==========++++++++++++=========== Here's my script, does the same thing as above but in less steps. This includes the AUDIO fix. sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo perl -pi -e 's/0x10ec0880/0x10ec0883/g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist sudo perl -pi -e 's/0x26688086/0x284b8086/g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist sudo diskutil repairpermissions / sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ Open a terminal, and type "nano audio-restart-fix" and paste the above code into it. Press "ctrl+o" and then yes. type "chmod a+rwx audio-fix" and then type "./audio-fix" You should now have full functioning Audio support. X1600 works with Natit: http://www.necnet.de/krass.man/Installers/...0Installer.html And onboard LAN works with DaemonES' installer http://www.necnet.de/krass.man/Installers/...0Installer.html Thats' it. Any feedback is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrk Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I just bought this board (TForce 965pt) and am trying to set it up. You mention: Press DEL and go into the bios, set the SATA controller to use AHCI. However, extensive searching of the BIOS reveals no such settings. What am I missing? Is this a typo copied from another howto? Or something specific to the TForce 965 Deluxe? Has anyone actually run this board (the PT, most specifically) with OS X? Thanks for any pointers, and sorry for the suspicion, but I bought this board based on this recommendation only to find that some of the steps don't actually seem to apply to this board, so far as I can see. (And Biostar has 0 BIOS updates for this board, so I don't think it's a BIOS version difference keeping me from seeing the SATA AHCI mode setting.) Thanks!

hgjob Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 TForce 965pt (ich8)can not set the SATA controller to use AHCI.it just need ich8R.So this boaed can not install Mac OS now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeenam Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Does the latest JaS 10.4.8 iso released 1/3/07 support the Via VT6410 PATA IDE controller on this board? There was no mention in the release except that the JMicron IDE controller now works straight out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
