Gigabyte P35-DS4 is working with Leopard 10.5

[build]

I have successfully installed Leopard on my Gigabyte P35-DS4 in the sig.

 

edit: 04/01/08

 

I've used the original apple 10.5.0.dmg with the simple method and kexts posted here

[IkariGend]

Same here. I just had to patch the sound-drivers again.

CS3 is not working, i will check this tonight.

BUILD, It's incredible, but I've the sam configuration, but I've some problem with Leopard, I can't install the audio Fix (ACL889a) and I've wakeup error. Can you help me?

 

thanks

I installed an ALC888d package first (was on my XxX-Release-DVD), then replaced the two 889a kexts from here and repaired the permissions and deleted Extensions.kextcache & Extensions.mkext. After the reboot it worked fine.

 

I can't say anything about the wakeup, because I think this won't work with my current 8800GTS-drivers.

I patched the retail DVD using the BrazilMac scripts and got Leopard running on my GA-P35-DS4 rev 2.0. I won't labor about the installation process here, but the big issue is to get a properly blessed system, so the easiest way is to install over another tiger install.

 

I've encountered no stability issues, all iLife 08 seems to run great, iTunes authenticates, haven't gotten around to Photoshop. Sound works with the old kexts.

 

Now wake from sleep works for me with one huge caveat (7900 GT). I get a fully functioning system that awakes at 1680x1050 but graphics are quite blended. Playing around it seems that the system is feeding the video card 1024 x 640 while the video card is set to 1680x1050. No upsampling, and no the monitor is not getting a 1024 x 640 signal, that would upsample much more nicely. I can set the monitor to any resolution I want, but the system doesn't change its behavior in response. I certainly don't want to run at 1024 x 640, the resolution at which everything looks peachy. Hopefully all I need is an updated Natit or NVinject driver.

 

Wake events are much better documented in /var/log/system.log, Leopard is much more informative of what happens. Great, this might help kext development. My log file is littered with 2 types of errors, which seem not to affect stability or usage:

Macintosh kernel[0]: Package 0 didn't get an HPET

_CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35

 

I also get at times firewire errors but my firewire external drive mounts and works regardless:

Macintosh kernel[0]: FireWire GUID 0000000000000000 is invalid!

 

build can you check your log file to see if you get similar errors?

 

As for the HPET errors I have not yet tried to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. I know that turning HPET on or off in the BIOS has no effect on this (though I only tried to enable HPET in 64-bit mode, maybe since the kernel is still 32bit I need to set HPET in 32bit mode). I'll update when I've played around some more.

Hi Hackcat,

 

Yeah I only have the _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35 in my log. No HPET errors.

 

In Bios I'm using 32bit HPET. Everything seems to be working really well including sleep.

[thefamous]

anyone can help me with sound fix and wakeup problem on Leopard, I've read all guide and installed some kext, but don't work. In my tiger all wark (exept wake up).

 

Build are you sure about wakeup fix? use 32bit HPET setting?

 

thanks

Yeah. I'm using 32 bit and it sleeps and wakes perfect. I'm sorry I can't help you with the audio as I use a third party PCI audio card which uses original mac drivers.

 

If you need more help I can post my BIOS settings.

I also had the " _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35" when repairing permissions, but then i replaced the AppleSMBIOS.kext with the newer v1.0.6 this error was gone and CS3-apps are working again!

Is this the 48KB version? I'm asking because despite the version number the one I'm looking at is much older than the Paulicat 1.0.1 or 1.0.11 (looking at creation dates). If indeed you have a newer version can you point me in the right direction to get it?

I would like this also as I'm using version 1.0.1 (220kb). Although CS3 is working fine here

IkariGend can you please put this up.

 

Thanks.

Does the built-in firewire work?

 

Could you post a firewire system profiler's section screenshot?¿

 

Thank you!

What about sound? Only stereo?

 

Can you write, or point to a install guide for this board?

I do not have any firewire devices. In the about this MAC under hardware/firewire it says

 

FireWire Bus:

 

Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec. It's also listed under the network devices.

 

So I assume it's working.

[IkariGend]

IkariGend can you please put this up.

 

Thanks.

build,

 

what driver do you use for 7600gs?

 

I can't find any driver that works... Thank you!

[build]

This one works for me with both Tiger & Leopard. It installs automatically too!

[eclau]

Thanks! Everything works except wake from sleep.

 

Build,

Can you post your BIOS settings? I can seem to get sleep working properly (no wake).

Thank you.

[hackcat]

In Bios I'm using 32bit HPET. Everything seems to be working really well including sleep.

Build, just to confirm, you have kept AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext in your extensions and have no HPET errors? I can't seem to make that work for me w the BrazilMac kernel. Is EIST enabled or disabled in your case?

 

On another note, I found the simplest of fixes for my garbled video on wake. Move my DVI cable to the port closest to the motherboard and now I can wake from sleep with no video issues. I do get an invalid FireWire GUID on wake, and according to Gigabyte the F6 BIOS fixed wake from sleep and firewire problems. I'm using F7, but maybe this is still a BIOS issue. Using rev2.0 of the board.

[build]

Eclau,

 

Here are my BIOS settings.

 

hackcat,

 

When I ran brazilmac's post patch I typed n (no) for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

YESSS, I've solved all my problem, HPET error and wakeup and FireWire Guid error...

 

now:

don't install AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext so you can't have the HPET erro, but you can install ICH9 kext (see here) but If you want ICH9r ACHI see here

but I have not tested it.

for FireWire GUI problem on boot, i can see that this problem appair only if i connect any HD or DVD sato on SATA 04-05-06 etc.. controller, you can use ONLY sata 0 to sata 03 controller (I've ICH9 patch and disabled in my bios the ACHI settings...). But the FireWire GUI appair also if you boot with external USB HD... so disconnect any HD USB on boot.

 

For wakeup I've solved setting S3 power management in my bios and don't setting stop HD in Leopard preference. But my pc (ops... hackintosh) wakeup only if I press one time the power button.

 

now I've only one problem, one time random... my hackintosh dont't turn off on shutdown, appair the verbose mode...CPU hatl mode.. and black screen, but don't turn off my power unit... :

[hackcat]

theFamous, some interesting info, at first I thought it was about just getting the "Generic" identifier renamed "ICH9-R", bur reading the thread further it seems some people have managed to run in IDE enhanced mode by properly specifying the right iopcimatch values in kexts.

 

In any case I am running my 1 sata dvd + 3 drives in 0-3 ports. The FireWire GUID error appears in my logs only after wake, and I seem to still be able to use my FireWire ports despite that.

 

I'm going to try later today the most minimally modified system using pc-efi and see what happens.

[hackcat]

So I got around to trying an unmodified leopard install with the modified darwin bootloader that has some efi emulation. You need to add dsmos.kext and the system will boot. Following are some quick observations with all kext unmodified on the P35-DS4 with all SATA internals, and only USB/FireWire externals. All in all this experiment reminds me how well this board is supported via the generic declarations in Apple's drivers.

 

AHCI drives are recognized as generic and as externals (even if internal)

Ethernet works

About this Mac works somewhat except for the hardware overview screen

Logs still show HPET errors (fixable if you remove power management kext)

Logs still show UUID errors (probably related to running under MBR vs GUID partition scheme)

No sound

Reboot + shutdown don't work (unmodified kernel) but sleep still does

 

In the end you still need NVinject (for display + QE/CI) , ALCinject, a modified AppleHDA and probably AppleSMBIOS for apps like CS3. So it boils down to this: you get to use Apple Software update and probably will boot after point upgrades (like the forthcoming 10.5.1). If a kext changes at worst you'll have to replace it again after an Apple software update. However you'll lose some niceties of a modified kernel dedicated to a hackintosh, namely in this instance a working shutdown + restart (sleep still works). As long as sleep works, I'm tempted to go this route. It isn't though a slam dunk decision. Oh and quads not supported, you are limited to certain processor core 2 duo families (e6xxx, e4xxx, e21x0) if you intend to run an unmodified Apple kernel (which is the whole point of doing it this way)
