Cybaster Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hello, I have used netkas' EFI emulation and everything works well except one little problem. When I try to restart or shutdown, my monitor will black out but freezes there. Are there some kexts that I did not replace that will fix this problem? (actually, what kexts do/can i replace with vanilla kexts i used ToH to install leopard) Thanks Jonathan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaces Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sounds wierd... and this is caused by the efi patch? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/#findComment-511190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenesis Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Any idea whether the EFI patch will work for Tiger? It should, right? Also, I keep reading about a System Profiler patch that will make everything read correctly, but I have never been able to find one. I'm running 10.4.11 and 10.4.8 on an MSI MBox 945F-G case/mobo. I'm no expert yet, but I'm not exactly green, either.

netkas Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sounds wierd... and this is caused by the efi patch? No. ToH kernel has reboot fix vanilla ekrnel doesn't have it, because it's vanilla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/#findComment-511479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARN1 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Same here with GA-965G-DS3 .. what can we do? i'm using pc_efi_51 + vanilla kernel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/#findComment-511549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybaster Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 so we can't fix this without using the ToH kernel? but if we use that, can we use the Vanilla Kexts?

cybertlc Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You can use the vanilla kexts without the vanilla kernel, and vice versa. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/#findComment-512310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezhoon Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I am very much confused here; is everyone using efi patch + vanilla kernel having this reboot problem? Or is it just some of them? I've installed the efi bootloader on Gigabyte DS3 v1.0 mobo and have this reboot problem.

Snerler Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have a few questions about the EFI patch. What is "vanilla" kernel. Also, how is the patch applied?

kocoman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have a few questions about the EFI patch. What is "vanilla" kernel. Also, how is the patch applied? Its the Darwin bootloader (the one when you press F8) hack/patch.. Since the bootloader is larger than 512 bytes, its placed inside the HFS partition instead of the boot sector In real macs, the Darwin bootloader (f8) is built in (EFI) so you can use GUID partation table. Vanilla kernel only runs the on CPU that macs uses. it will panic on ALL others. Correct me if I am wrong.

oSxFr33k Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 netkas, I would like to know as well. Using this site's HowTo, "http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/734/howto-install-efi-patch-and-enable-vanilla-os-x-kernel-in-hackintosh/". I am very confused on what will happen to my Darwin Bootloader that was created when I installed TIger. Obviously there is some of the bootloader in MBR and the rest I am assuming on the / of the tiger OS. I have Uphuck's Tiger 10.4.9 V1.3 on the first partition. Installed Leopard pre patched BrazilMac's onto the second partition. If I run this EFI 5.1 patch what will this do to the Tiger bootloader? I think it going to change it and make both Tiger and Leopard in a non boot state. I have never been successful with the fdisk/startupfiletool and unsure if this patch is going to just make a huge mess or not. I think I will wait for the next hacked Leo install DVD that gives you the option of EFI or not instead of messing around with what I have now that works perfectly!!

kocoman Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 4 Steps to boot on hacktonsih.. In disk utility, check if partition table is MBR!! if not reformat is needed I think fdisk -e, update, f # (activate partition), then write and quit. dd the boot1h file onto the rdisk0s1 (your active partition) startupdisktool the boot_v5 file onto disk0s1 Should boot (no need to bless, I think bless is used for GUID...,, which is not accessible to fdisk anyway and uses pdisk I think) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72183-wont-restart-after-efi-v51/#findComment-518078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
