mikethewolf Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh sorry, should have been a bit more specific I installed from a SATA DVD-RW to a PATA drive (by the way my computer would only read the first 128Gb of the drive... ?) My Machine: XFX 680i SLI LT MB E6750 (both cores working) Galaxy 8800GT 512Mb SATA DVD-RW PATA HD DLink DFE-538TX NIC (Not working) Realtek ALC885 Audio (working) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/24/#findComment-574241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyRogers Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well I have managed to get it working w/ my 8800gts card and it is now showing 10.5.1 and both cores. Heck sound is working and I haven't done anything yet for that. However, after updateing to 10.5.1 usb stopped working and ical is no longer working either. What is weird is my usb mouse and keyboard are working fine. Any ideas there? I am searching, but honestly I have not used a mac since about 94! Luckily I am ok with a command line (linux)... and am digging the whole command line thing for osx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/24/#findComment-574267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupidicus Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 My USB is broken too. It'll recognize things if they're plugged in at boot, but not if plugged in after. anyone have any suggestions on that?

muitommy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 @jolly rogers i don't think you need to enable the lan as to go beyond the setup screen. i have them disabled and i can boot right into the desktop without problem. you might want to try other usb keyboard.. or disable legacy support in bios. @mikethewolf you need nforceata.kext by medevil and pcgenehci.kext in drivers sections @stupidicus same as above, you might need that kext, the usb one.

JollyRogers Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 As soon as I enabled the LAN I got past that... I am way past that!!! -I have 10.5.1 running w/ both cores now and I have my geforce 8800gts recognized and working -I fixed the issues with iCal and Mail not working after the update using the ToH CD and Pacifist. -I installed and got the AppleNForceATA.kext working and all my drives are being seen. There is a slight issue there... I run 3 drives right now, 1 PATA w/ OSX, 1 SATA w/ VISTA, and 1 SATA w/ UBUNTU. When OSX boots, it says it soesn't recognize my UBUNTU drive and asks if I want to ignore, retry, or initialize it. I have been selecting ignore because I "think" initializing it will whipe it. Am I right there? If so, is there a way to tell OSX to not look at that drive when it boots? Disk utility does show it, but the 3 partitions on that drive are grayed out. I am thinking since those partitions are linux swap, /, and /home and in ext3 that OSX can't mount them. I also am now triple booting using grub!!! It took a bit of figuring out WTF was going on, but I got it finally!!! Thank god for google on that one! What is not working: USB only works sometimes. It seems if I boot with it hooked up it is fine, or if I boot with -v -legacy it will work. It defintely will work if I use -x. I tried dripping -legacy into the apple.com.plist and it made no difference. @MUITOMMY: the pcgenehci.kext is the fix for usb drives not working all the time? ToDo: Fix USB. Figure how to ignore my Linux drive. get a 3rd SATA and get OSX moved over to it. Figure out a wireless solution (currently have a DLink PCI card w/ Atheros chipset on it). Install OSX programs to use! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/24/#findComment-574576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethewolf Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Having a hard time finding the 'pcgenehci.kext' file any help muitommmy? there is a similarly named USB kext? I am unsure which problem this file will fix, as I'm assuming the medevil kext will help out my ability to only read the first portion of my HD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/24/#findComment-574578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluraven Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 you are lucky, dude.by the way, how you boot your sata partition? I don't, I'm just booting off PATA with access to a SATA drive after boot. The OS is on the PATA drive still, but looking at this thread it seems like some have already had success in doing that. PS. I'm still having one small problem, seems like my network is still fritzy and sometimes loses connection until I renew the IP lease, it acted similarly with two different network cards so I'm kinda confused as to what could do that. Oh well, Nothings perfect I suppose Mikethewolf: Are you using NVinject or Natit? I think only one of them can support the 8800 card you have, and I don't remember which can and which can't, might be worth looking into. Also have you edited your info.plist of Nvdaresman with your card's device id as in 'the guide'? I think unless you edit it, it will panic (unless you boot with -x to disable graphics, or move the nvdaresman into a folder so that it's not loaded).

muitommy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 @mikethewolf i always supspect that there are some problems with the search in the forum, the results is not really accurate .... and both natit and nvinject should work, you might want to use the installer. @bluraven yea.. i'm one of them. @jollyrogers yes, it's the drivers for usb 2.0 EVERYONE : USB2.0EHCI http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28559 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69705-650-and-680i-chipset-thread/page/24/#findComment-574833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was having problems finding it. I did find how to get my wireless working! So, once I am home I will get the wireless setup and get the USB issue fixed. I found a way to mount my ext3 linux partitions, but will prob choose to ingnore them via /etc/fstab noauto. So I will grab another SATA drive today and get this all worked out over the weekend. I found carbon copy and will use it, I was planning on just using dd to image the drive over to the new SATA. I imagine the performance will be tons better once off PATA and on SATA. It isn't "bad" now, but that poor old 20G PATA is screaming!

Stupidicus Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 now i have leopard on the ide drive...how i can i have it on the sata?? can you tell me the steps to do this? tnx ;D just google "carbon copy cloner" and run it from a separate OSX install if you can. I had a tiger install on one drive, leopard on another, with a blank sata to end up booting from. Boot to tiger, clone the drive over, and remove both pata drives. Set the sata drive as primary boot drive in bios, see if it works. If not, try this bootfix:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=63465&st=0&p=449623entry449623 Just make sure you read the instructions before running the code in the boxes... I didn't the first time i tried, and it failed because I didn't unmount the drive first. Try that, and keep us posted.

JollyRogers Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Carbon Copy Cloner requires it to run from a separate OSX install? Oh well for that idea then. I guess I can boot into windows or linux and use dd to clone the drive. NM: I just read the help at their site. A block level clone requires both drives to be unmounted, a file level clone apparently can still be done. Regardless, I can just do it from Linux using dd.

I been trying for a while to get OSX to work but it never does. I've tried the iATKOS1.0i and the Kalyway10.5.1 dvd's but with both i can never reach a leading screen or the installation screen. One time i got up to the grey apple screen and it froze there. Here are my specs: Mobo: ECS NF650ISLiT-A GPU: Asus 7600GS HDD: 1x 120 SATA Seagate, 1x 250 SATA Seagate RAM: 2gigs OCZ Gold IDE DVD-RW, and IDE CD-RW IF any help at all, it would be greatly appreciated...

JollyRogers Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Does anyone have ethernet/wireless working on two cores? it always stops working when i try to download a large file, forcing me to reboot. 10.5.1, 650i, followed the guide Yes I just got mine working! This is my first post from OSX I am running a D-link2320 and it has the 5212 chipset in it. I googled atheros 5212 & OSX86 and found a thread that told me what to do. The only thing was under Network Preferences I had to turn off firewire. As soon as I did that my wireless came right up. Just gotta fix the USB issue and then am off to get the image to the new SATA I bought tonight. I am just gonna use dd from my linux side, it will work just fine I think.
