JaE-V Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 we've made a lot of strides over the past week. the one thing that kills me on this system is diskarb. What can we do to fix/ remove the diskarb issue? dunno there, are you dissatisfied that its slow or is your system not booting cuz of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unstatusthequo Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah I'm so damn tired of Vista on my rig, and feel much more at home on my MBP, I'd love to get this on my EVGA 680i with full support. Right now, it seems that the SATA drives are a big problem, and the Quad core is also a possible problem. It sounds like onboard networking is solved? I admit I know next to nothing about installing Leopard on a hackintosh. My only experience was a JaS release on an old Dell Dimension, which actually worked quite well. If anyone starts a DVD and wants a tester, the basics of my rig are: EVGA 680i XFX 8800 4 GB Corsair Dominator Quad Core SB Audigy 1 TB SATA RAID storage 2x 74 GB SATA RAID Raptors 2x Lite-On SATA DVD burners 17 in 1 flash card reader. I'll gladly scrap my Vista installation to make the rig a test system for those more talented in the actual DVD building. Wish I could help more... still learning this stuff. I think it would be great if the forums could add a Wiki post as the second post (like at slickdeals.net) so that collaboration on a solution could be kept updated without sifting through 14 pages of threads. It would certainly help streamline the process of what works/what doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claud3 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 im annoyed coz its real slow, i just found out my system was running even slower coz i bought an ide hdd with only 2mb cache but i'll get that sorted tomorrow. No i haven't but netkas posted it as a possible fix. http://netkas.freeflux.net/blog/archive/20...g.html#commentsunstatusthequo we're in the same shoes. you're going to need an ide dvd drive and an ide hdd drive to install leopard on your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalok4u Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Download the adobeCS3antiCrash.zip file from a certain bay. It includes a video that shows you how to patch all of the CS3 files to work and the files necessary. I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver daily after patching them in this way. Thank you. That worked perfectly for the files included. What about the other applications in the CS3 Master Suite? Do they have anti-crash files created for them?

Objection Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thank you. That worked perfectly for the files included. What about the other applications in the CS3 Master Suite? Do they have anti-crash files created for them? Dunno, maybe do some searching around. Those covered everything I use, so I didn't look harder.

claud3 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Found this thread on diskard maybe it can help us out: http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t32299.html Ok guys the point is we need to make this motherboard as compatible as possible. How? If we improve/remove the ide diskarb issue we'll have quicker boot times. But better yet we should try and resolve the sata/read write issue to at least have our systems running on sata drives and at optimum speeds. Can someone outline the tools we need to start kext editing? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalok4u Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Anyone having problems with iPhone/iPod recognition after the system is booted. If I connect my iPhone before the system boots, its recognized properly. But if I connect it after the system has booted, it does not recognize it nor does it charge the iPhone. Seems to me those USB ports which has nothing connected while booting are dead once the system is up. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalok4u Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 lol great cuz i had no clue...how well does your xbox live cam work? take pretty good shots? I just had to remove the AppleMobileDevice framework and re-install iTunes and that did the trick. As for the Xbox 360 live cam, it works pretty well on Leopard. Takes nice stills and is great with iChat or Skype if you use it. Works out of the box. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalok4u Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thanks man appreciate it. Works great. Any of you notice the slow speeds when transferring from an external usb drive? If any of you guys are having problems with slow speed or sluggish system performance while transfering huge data or installing programs or when you only have one core working, you will have to add (deviceId,vendorId) of your IDE controller to your AppleNForceATA.kext's info.plist. This is how you find out the device Id and vendor Id. 1. If you have running Linux, great boot in to linux or download SysRescueCd, burn it and boot off your PC with that disc. 2. Run this command lspci -nn in the terminal. 3. It will have output something like this. alok@AloksUbuntu:~$ lspci -nn 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation C55 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:00.7 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:02.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:02.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:02.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C55 PCI Express bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SMBus (rev a2) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP55 USB Controller (rev a1) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP55 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 IDE [10de:036e] (rev a1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:0e.1 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:0e.2 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:0f.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 PCI bridge (rev a2) 00:0f.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:11.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) 00:12.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTX] (rev a2) 02:09.0 Class ff00: AGEIA Technologies, Inc.

The line we are interested in is highlighed bold. At the end we have [10de:036e]. The first value is Vendor ID and the Second one is Device Id. 5. The value we will be entering in the AppleNForceATA.kext's info.plist would be 0xDeviceIdVendorId. In my case it is 0x036e10de. 4. So login as root. 6. So go to System/Library/Extensions. 7. Right Click on AppleNForceATA.kext and view Contents. 8. Double click info.plist. 9. Add your 0xDeviceIdVendorId under AppleNforcePATA IOPCIMATCH or IOPCIPersonalities string. It is something like that, I dont remember. You will get it once you open it. 10. Save it. 11. chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext 12. chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext 13. rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext or diskutil repairpermissions. 14. Reboot leopard with -f flag. 15. Your system should be blazing fast now. People with evga 680i SLI mobo will have same device id and vendor id as mine. So you can use this 0x036e10de string directly. I get around 50MB/s copy speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
