Shredplayer Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Using kernel 10.4.8 on Asus P5GV-MX 1. USB Fix: Install 10.4.8.usb.fix.pkg http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html Reboot 2. About this Mac Shows wrong Processor Speed Intel Celeron 3.06 Ghz shows as 4ghz processor Edited /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist kernel flags: fsb=133 reboot Now Shows correct CPU speed. 3. System Profiler Not Showing System Details Install System Profiler Fix.mpkg http://rakis.net/~prasys/System%20Profiler%20Fix.mpkg.zip Thanks guys for finding the link..... Reboot 4. Azalia Audio Fix make sure Azalia Fix is selected on the DVD install during installation of OSX86 sudo -s password chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext Reboot 5. Sparkle 7300 LE 256 PCIe in case you have this card it works with Natit 1.0 w/ full QE/CI support (i did'nt test onboard GMA900) Hope this helps...

Nicolas Ivy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Do you think you could pretty, pretty please find that .mpkg link for me? I worked really hard but I couldn't find it anywhere.. and my "Hardware" tab won't come up in System Profiler at all (!) so I could really use it. Thanks in advance. Nevermind, I got it.

ceynox Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 My sound is verry bad... azalia loaded, I have sound but with noise & hiccup... are you sure your fsb is running at the right speed??? my sound is ok, only when i turn up volume to the max (from my speakers) i can hear some distortion from i think cpu or gma or whatever (because it gets louder when i let an app load) This could also be because it isn't a fantastic driver, or the sound chip is just bad implented in the mobo... dunno cause i never had MS Win on it...

lordlex Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 My FSB is ok. I didn't selected any kernel @ install time (no mifki so se... don;t remember the name ) So, i use the default kernel I think... is a 8.8.1... has 4142904 b... My xbench result w/o disk (because the hdd is my old maxtor 5000rpm ) is about 100-115. Don;t remember how, yesterday I made my sound work great BUT the xbench result was about 65-70... ( For this, I installed only the azalia .kext (by decompressing the archive.pax.gz... BTW, i put fsb=133 in that file and my CPU is still showed @ 4.2 ghz... and it is a 2.8 celeron 336...

Shredplayer Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 try using mifki kernel, it might fix your issues w/ it.. upon installation mach_kernel.mifki -v Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-239297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredplayer Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 open System Profiler > System > extensions Look for the loaded kext 1. /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext 2. /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext if for some reasons /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext is loaded backup the kext then deleted it, probable conflict.. delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext reboot. it should fix the audio hiccup Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-239309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordlex Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 There is no AC97 loaded. Seems that the problem was the kernel (the one installed by default) and mifki too. I booted with semthex and the sound is good now. The CPU speed is now 2.79 in About this mac... BUT Attached is the xbech result with the two kernels. Semthex is not verry fast What can I do? I'll try to dld the latest version... hope there is a fix... mikfi.txt semthex.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-239316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredplayer Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 semthex kernel slower? maybe because the proc & board supports NX+ HPET and semthex kernel is w/o NX+HPET removed.. just my 2 cents Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-239321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceynox Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 hmm... dunno what's the prob. here... I got 2 problems myself... i tried mifki (nonx) and semthex (latest) kernels (deamonES modded vers. didn't work) but my hackintosh won't shut down. It says "CPU Halted", i hear the hdd spin down but no power off. Second, i think my hdd is slow, i only get +-50 (xbench) on hdd although it's a 7200.8 IDE... maybe there's something else??? any suggestions? maybe it has something to do with UDMA, but i don't know anthing about that.

lordlex Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I know what is the problem with the Sleep... When I disconnect any USB devices attached, the system go to sleep and up again without problems. When there is a USB device connected, the sistem halts and need to press reset... Maybe someone know how to fix this... BTW... ceynox, your onboard audio is working fine with the mifki kernel ??!!?!??!

lordlex Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The problem with the sound is because of the kernel that doesn't detect the corect FSB... in about this mac dialog, my cpu speed is 4,2 and the sound is BAD BUT the bechmarks score is verry HI... but the real speed is 2.8. If I set fsb=133 @ boot time or if i use a kernel with autodetect, the cpu speed reported in about this mac is 2.79, the corect one, the sound is good BUT the benchmarks is low. with fsb=200 xbench=105-115 geekbench2006=185 with fsb=133 xbench=65-70 geekbench2006=106 I don;'t understand if the fsb is 200 why the benchmarks values are bigger... is this a software overcloking?!?!?!

ceynox Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well, i'm using the mifki kernel, and i think it's even better then semthex but that's personal. My sound is ok, not good, but that's described in my last post (i'm an audio freak ) I think your problem is indeed the FSB speed the kernel thinks you have. I don't have these problems cause my CPU runs at 800MHz. (800/4=200) which is the default for the kernels. It is known that xbench scores go way up if the fsb is set incorrect. What was your previous score with 8.4.1 kernel??? if that's about the same (maybe a bit lower than the fsb=133) then your ok... I don't know why the scores go up with wrong fsb, but i do know it isn't right btw. Has someone any idea about my hdd speed????

lordlex Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 My score with fsb set to 133 is about 60-70, with fsb set to 200 (default) is 110... My score for opengl test is bigger with fsb 200 (~300fps) than with fsb 133 (~200fps). Let's say that the xbench is crazy and wrong put my cpu score to 80, but why the video performance is affected? My hdd score is low too... 45... but that is because i run on a old maxtor 5400 hdd :pirate2: The 4kb blocks killed me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-239939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(since it is an onboard vidcrd) My hdd score is low too... 45... but that is because i run on a old maxtor 5400 hdd The 4kb blocks killed me Well, i tweaked a bit with the bios, forcing udma6 mode, and now got a score of 65. All the hdd tests are good, (+-100 or even higher) only the random uncached 4k blocks give me 19 points :S how is that possible?!?!?!

lordlex Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the gma gpu is in the chipset and don't use the cpu as i know... dunno... about the hhd... i think xbench is reading a number of megabites in every test. if so, let's say 20mb / test, it need more time to read 20mb of data in 4kb blocks randomly... but maybe i'm wrong Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33748-asus-p5gv-mx-1048-issues-fixed/#findComment-240045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
