By the way, I'm using Netkas' EFI V3 bootloader and all is working fine! :)
Yep, That got me excited when I saw the news yesterday. Altho havent tested it yet. Seems like the sun is shinning in hackintosh land ;-)
A question - any idea how to obtain proper shutdown or restart with this main-board ? I am going nuts ...
I had that problem with the 8.10.3 kernel, all other kernels are aok.

Well, I am using leopard - with pc_efi .. al is fast and smooth (stock krnel an kext's btw) except shutdown .. and restart as I have say .. so far I was unable to find any solution , that's why I am asking in here

 

Did you have to download the original DMG of Leopard to obtain the stock kernel/kexts, or did you get them somewhere else?

I'm trying to get Leopard to see the Marvell 8056 ethernet on my Gigabyte GA965P-DS3 revison 2. In Tiger, I could edit the info.plist in Text Editor, but Leopard won't let me do that. I'm still Terminal(ly) stupid; can someone please explain to me exactly how to enter the following commands into Terminal? :

 

Open the terminal from /Applications/Utilities and type the following:

 

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

(find and change: <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>)

(to: <key>Yukon-88E8056</key>) <-- change "53" to "56"

 

(find and change: <string>0x436211AB</string>)

(to: <string>0x436411AB</string>) <-- change "62" to "64"

 

(find and change: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053 Singleport Copper{:content:}lt;/string>)

(to: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8056 Singleport Copper{:content:}lt;/string>) <-- change "53" to "56"

how did you get the EFI bootloader to work? i tried it on my ds3 using the instructions in the zipfile and it just stays still at the apple bootup screen.

Look, people, i do really need help over here =(

Whatever i do - i end up with "no boot" or "b0 error"

 

Lets work it over step by step.

USB Drive (LG)

Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev. 1.1 with F12 bios

ToH_DVD_RC2 from our daemonic friend =)

AHCI - on

Native - on

Gigabyte - AHCI mode

 

HDD (either seagate 160gig sata2 or seagate 320gig sata2 - the one i once had Tiger on) connected to first orange or to the first/second gigabyte (purple)

then:

Partition drive as a single partition or two partitions (GUID table or MBR) as Mac OS journalled (either case sensitive or not)

Enter terminal "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0","f 1","write","y","exit"

goto installer and install LEO (with only essential software or with x11 and russian translation)

after doing this i end up with no boot.

so i boot cd and try setting active partition again

i end up with no boot

i boot cd and try the "/usr/misc/script.sh xSystem" (xSystem is my partition name)

i end up with b0 error

if i boot cd again and set via terminal active partition

i end up with no boot

 

i also tried not setting MBR at the very beginning, but rather in next steps, still i ended up the same.

In total, more than 15 different installs i tried (i lost count after try num. 12).

 

i checked MD5 sums of my image and the cd i'm using, they correspond to the original hash

 

Any ideas? Am i really missing something?

Im hammered i cant make LEO even start...

Same problem !

 

Hmm - I haven't heard that problem before... You get this when you try to boot with the original kernel, right?

 

Are you sure you've corrected the permissions on it? (sudo diskutil repairPermissions /) If downloaded from Safari, the file will have the download quarantine attribute to it (http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/10/lift-the-leop...load-quarantine). You may need to remove it:

 

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine mach_kernel

 

That's if your location in Terminal is at the root of the drive.

 

Let me know how it goes. :wacko:

I don't know where you got this step, but I don't think that it is necessary:Enter terminal "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0","f 1","write","y","exit"Nor is it necessary to run the postpatch script.

 

 

If anyone would like to write an EFI tutorial, I would be happy to add that to the how-to. :) I don't have much time for playing with the hackintosh these days so you might not see much of me in the upcoming weeks. EFI is a huge breakthrough though. Bigger than Leopard being hacked!

IDE Support:
In order to get IDE Support, AppleVIAATA.kext must be replaced with a copy with the correct device ids. The following is a copy of the AppleVIAATA.kext from the Brazilmac installation:

 

Follow the video directions to see how to install a kext.

 

I m a little lost here. Which video directions are you talking about here I cant seem to find it. So please help me out here.Thanks

Well, finally reporting success. (a little weird actually)

My problem is, that LEO install disk cant make install enter darwin bootloader. (neither script on DVD helped, nor dancing with MBR - hell, i even tried Hiren's Boot CD to fix MBR and Seagate tools to reset the HDD to zero state).

Upset and hammered i decided to do one crazy thing.

I took Tubgirl's 10.4.8 patched with both PPS (which is for AMD only), installed it (on Purple second port with AHCI setting on, onboard controller was set to AHCI "disable" and set as "legacy"). Install was successful :D

Not even trying to boot Tiger (i assume i'd end up with kernel panic) i loaded LEO again and upgraded Tiger to LEO.

Now i'm a happy 10.5 user.

Ta-Da!

 

But the problem is still here and i have no damn idea why am i the only one.

Well, for system files (like AppleSMBIOS.kext), when downloaded via Safari, Leopard adds the quarantine attribute to it. I know a lot of people were having problems using the included AppleSMBIOS.kext in the pc_efi_v3.zip (it hanged on the blue screen with cursor). After removing the attribute, I found it worked fine (hence why I was saying to do the same thing for mach_kernel - if they downloaded it through Safari).

 

:)

 

Also, where does this come into it?

Enter terminal "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0","f 1","write","y","exit"

 

I never had to enter that in order to get it working... :blink:

Even when removing the quarantine attribute, neither of my systems will boot with the stock kernel. All that happens is that after the Darwin bootloader completes loading the kexts, I get a black screen if booting in verbose mode, or the grey Apple boot screen with no activity if I'm not.

 

I've used the startupfiletool to install the boot loader, installed the supplied dsmos.kext and AppleSMBIOS and used the stock kernel. I've tried a stock and modified AppleACPIPlatform with no success either.

 

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't think for the life of me what it is.

It is done in case you got a "b0 error". Also i do remember, that i had to do this before any tiger installation on my mashines. (dont remember why, but it didnt work without it)

 

I was trying this, because after using the post_install_script from ToH dvd a was getting "b0 error" all the time.

And without use of that script i'm just stuck with no boot at all...

 

I think, that i described it all in my first post here...

Yep, and to be absolutely correct - when i was installing from Tubgirl's DVD i did set MBR via those terminal commands prior to the install itself.

Just reporting in: (using a rev. 1.0 board)

- Installed using a patched dvd following brazilmac's guide (I had some bad experiences with ToH RC2)

- Right from the install it detected my IDE hd and jmicron sata ports (running both jmicron and ich8 as AHCI)

- Altered the postpatch file to avoid replacing the kernel

- Installed netkas efi v4 boot file

- Installed alc883 driver for mic support (if you don't need it, output works out of the box)

- Started dancing happy like a little girl :P

 

What isn' t working :unsure:

- Sleep (it never wakes up)

- Restart (it shutdowns the system, but never actually reboot)

- Two last orange sata ports (still haven't tried messing around the IOATA kext)

 

Overall, the system is fast, and I mean FAST. I don't know if it's just my imagination (probably is), but looks like leopard boots faster with the new efi boot+vanilla kernel...

Hm - I still don't recall doing it. I used the flat-image to install Leopard. Not sure if that would make a difference...
