Tristan Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 i switched sata mode to achi and its working fine now everything usb lan sata ide video 4 cores it even sleeps! I flashed my MSI Neo2-FR with the modified BIOS (7360v17) and am unable to boot into OS X anymore. It keeps hanging at ACPI CA 20051117 [debug...]. I've tried setting ACPI to S1 and S3, both give me the same error message. Disabling ACPI resulted in a kernel panic. My Leo4all3 install was working with the official MSI 1.8 BIOS with cpus=1. Is there some setting I'm missing with this modified BIOS? Would really love to use all 4 cores. I don't like my q6600 desktop to run OS X slower than my T2350 Core Duo laptop! Other than the cores issue, everything seems fine and dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ok, so I tried MSI's 1.94 beta BIOS for the Neo2-FR and now I can boot OS X without typing cpus=1. However, OS X still shows only 1 core (out of 4) is in use. Perhaps I should try cpus=4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Nope, osx86 still shows only 1 core. I can boot into osx86 without typing cpus=1 with the 1.94 beta bios, that's about the only difference between the official 1.8 and the 1.94b. The multicore issue remains.

It's interesting that 1.94 doesn't requite cpu=1. Anyway.... I took the plunge today and installed the 7345v18 Kabyl modded bios and it worked flawlessly (P35 Neo2 FR). I also never fully got the sleep function to work either as my system would constantly freeze up when coming out of sleep, but I got it working now. There is a link a page or two back that was posted containing the 7345v18 bios and the amiflash program to get it flashed. To get sleep working (ACPI S3), all I did was go to "network" under "system preferences" and completely remove the airport adapter (something I read that was unconfirmed in a "wakeup/sleep" thread). Now my hackint0sh is running with absolutely everything working ... 10.5.3/sleep/multi-core/sound/video. I still have to boot the system using the "-f" flag though. I figured that once the cache was rebuilt, I wouldn't have to use it, but if I don't the system won't boot.... any help? Thanks, kk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found out I had edited my boot.plist with cpus=1, so what I said about the 1.94beta BIOS is moot. The good news is the 7345v18 bios works perfectly! Using 4 cores drove my geekbench score up almost 3000 points! Which 10.5.3 update did you use? Jas' combo update? I installed Leo4allv3 just like you and so far, you've been most helpful! Hmm, I don't have to boot with the -f flag but let me check my boot.plist again to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsk Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 DID IT! Here's the short version on how to get things working with MSI P35 Platinum: Flash BIOS with this mod from here: Osrom When you flash from Windows, you can use this prog from AMI: AFUWIN Remember that in Vista you have to start AFUWIN.exe as Admin. Disable Firewire in BIOS. I have only SATA-drives, so IDE is disabled, AHCI enabled. Install Kalyway 10.5 with vanilla kernel, no other options checked. I installed it on mbr partition. Boot up and install JaS 10.5.3 Combo Update. Download HDAPatcher from here and this dump. Install. Sound should come right away. For my Gainward 7300GT I used NVInstaller v.41. Works OK I think. Thanks! With that BIOS mod I have 10.5.3 OSx86 working perfectly on my P35 Based PC. I used the USB Flash Bios tool, you can find it on the offical MSI forums. I used the Kalyway 10.5.2 instillation, with the sleepkernel, then used the Kalyway 10.5.3 combo update to get 10.5.3 working. I didn't need anything for the sound, its working fine. USB devices arn't working very well, so im trying the USB Fix Here Not sure if it works yet, need to restart. Thanks again derdomi, I finally have a fully functional OSx84!

Tristan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hello guys, I can't seem to get audio working on my otherwise fine MSI Neo2-FR with 10.5.4. installed. I tried using the drivers in one of the threads under the sound subforum but none of them worked. I also tried extracting the audio kexts from Leo4allv3 DVD and installing them but that didn't work either. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Twilight Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Mainboard= MSI P35-Neo-F CPU= 2.4 Ghz Quad Core Q6600 GPU= 8800 GTX Hard Drive= Sata DVD Drive= IDE I flashed my P35-Neo-F mainboard with the revised bios and now I can't get vista to run or install, and Kalyway 10.5.2 still won't boot into the install gui, now I am assuming my latter problem is because of my IDE DVD drives. I can still boot into the bios, and I can get the install disks to run and such, but whenever I try to install Vista at the end it says that it can set my hard drive to boot and that the installation was unsuccessful. Anyone have any idea? If it helps I have my hard drive on the fifth Sata port which is separated from the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s not the bios, i had the problem with the original unmodified bios. The solution for me was to restart the macine after partitioning the harddrives, then it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadnerb Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 So i've finally got a SATA hard drive so I can install OSX and use it properly but now my network card isn't working! I know for a fact it works because I installed OSX a few months back on my USB hard drive and got everything working. (also because it works for you guys) Any ideas why the network is not working? (it works fine in XP) have I missed a BIOS option or a setting on the Kalyway install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remingtonmartin Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm preparing to do this tomorrow, which distribution should I use? I have Leo4All and Kalyway 10.5.2 I'm running an MSI P35 Platinum, all my hdds and my optical drive are SATA. From what I gather, I flash the BIOS, then install? Also this cpus=1 thing isn't necessary anymore is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadnerb Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yep, flash the bios first and then you don't need to add cpus=1 If you have Leo4Allv3 then I suggest you follow this guide exactly http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=109564&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using MSI P35 Platinum. I'm newbie, so I want to ask somethings before I'm ready to install Kalyway 10.5.2. 1) I've only an IDE DVD Drive (My Hard drive is SATA). Can I use an IDE-to-USB adapter instead to plug into DVD Drive and then plug into USB port to install Kalyway 10.5.2 after I've flash Modified BIOS? 2) Have you change some settings in BIOS before falshing Modified-Bios?

Thanks for your help. Hi there, you don't need to change anything in you bios after flashing. i don't know about the ide part, but you always can buy a SATA DVD Drive for cheap. I got my MSI P35 platinum working after modding the bios using osrom.net. after that installed kaliway 10.5.2 used Gparted to get dualboot with Vista. Installed drivers. Installed ComboUpdate kaliway 10.5.3 (selected modbin 9.3) restart Did appleUpdate 10.5.4 All works See my setuo: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry867213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
