I'm not able to get wake-from-sleep working with vanilla install. Worked fine though with ToH RC2.

Any tips, ls8?

 

I just have this problem because i updated my mobo (DS3 rev1) to F8 BIOS

I have return to F7 and that is perfect

 

TO IS8

 

As i read in your script my install is slighty different

 

# Remove incompatible vanilla kexts

sudo rm -r /Volumes/$DESTINATION/System/Library/Extensions/AppleEFIRuntime.kext

 

i do not remove this kext

 

# ICH9R ATA drivers - without these kexts internal drivers are displayed as external

sudo cp -r kext/IOATAFamily.kext /Volumes/$DESTINATION/System/Library/Extensions/

 

I do not use this kext not needed for my board

 

 

I use to install all the updates before to run my post script

 

Regards

i updated to BIOS F10, I can't see any difference in performance or functionality.

BIOS F9 and F10 are giving problems with some memorys and memtest.

 

Please read this post: http://forums.tweaktown.com/showthread.php?t=25765

 

I'm on F8... by the time...

 

by the way I can't get to work sleep ;) (even with your installation pack of kexts) and the BIOS settings of karaakeha1..maybe it's for my mobo REV (1.0)

 

thanks!

ls8, is your Shutdown working? I read this thread a week ago and back then you had an "OK" next to "Shutdown". What did you change? I have bought the same components that are mentioned in your sig.
After I switched from NVInject to GFX EFI string, shutdown worked for me a few times. I thought problem is solved. But shutdown works only ocassionally, appox. in 50%.
...I can't get to work sleep...maybe it's for my mobo REV (1.0)...
Maybe, but I think people with rev.1.0 reported sleep works on rev.1.0

I'm up and running - EFI gave me boot problems so I'm on MBR.

Everything is functional now, but I noticed I can't see the one IDE drive I have.

 

3 SATA drives and a SATA burner are showing up fine.

 

Any thoughts on what's up with my IDE?

I'm using the kexts included in the pack.

EFI has nothing to do with MBR. You can use EFI with both MBR and GUID PT.

You need JMicron (JMB363) driver. I don't use any IDE device but I think the driver exists. Hopefully someone can provide a link? If someone confirms it works, I can release updated drivers pack.

It looks like F8 is latest stable BIOS, many users have problems with F9 and F10. F10 works fine for me so far, but I will downgrade to F8 if I find any problem.

ls8,

Question about your pre-patch.sh file.

 

Are these settings correct of my disk Identifier reads as "Disk Identifier : disk1s3" from Disk Utility.

sudo diskutil umount /dev/disk1s3
cd pc_efi_v80/
sudo ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk1s3 ./boot_v8
sudo dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk1s3 bs=512 count=1
sudo dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk1 bs=400 count=1

 

Here is the output from the terminal (Im doing this on a powerbook g4 tiger)

Also in the pre-patch.sh file you mention that you "prefer instalation from another Leopard partition, using original unpatched genuine retail DVD)". Do you mean that you being installation from an existing Leopard partition and then boot into the installer?

or is there some other method.

 

Is it possible to do the whole install by having the HD attached to my powerbook and once install completes, just moving over to the hackintosh and replacing the kexts? Is this the way you have done it?

Atm i have used the pre-patch.sh and now im going to boot from kalyway...

Do I just deselect all patches and apply your post-patch.sh?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

PS my HD and DVD was connected to the yellow ports... thx.

i unmounted the drive and applied the pre-patch.sh

 

./startupfiletool: ./startupfiletool: cannot execute binary file

should i be worried about the line "./startupfiletool: ./startupfiletool: cannot execute binary file" ?

AFAIK PC EFI can only be installed from Intel machines.
...should i be worried about the line "./startupfiletool: ./startupfiletool: cannot execute binary file" ?
Yes. That means PC EFI cannot be installed.

Is it possible to install EFI from Kalyway 10.5.1 installer, which will function with your setup method?

 

Edit: I applied the pre-patch.sh on a G4 machine and EFI was not installed. Then I continued installing from the Kalyway disc, from which i chose vanilla kernel, nvinject, efi. Everything seemed to go smooth. After the install i also applied the post-patch.sh, but sound did not work. Restart didnt work either. After I did the Software Update and turned the machine on, I get a DISK boot failure. Seems like I will have to prob install from the retail dvd.

You cannot use software update if you don't have PC EFI installed !!!

actually i'm on F9 right now and it seems more rock solid than F8. I had 2gb when using F8 and it would fail memtest. however, when i moved to F9, I upgraded my ram to 4GB (4 slots) and memtest does not give any errors even with the old sticks. I don't really see any difference in terms of perfomance with these bios releases. they only add compatibility. you should always make note that if your hardware is perfect on the current bios, don't upgrade unless you have to.

 

also, i can't get sleep to work either. been trying the install pack with vanilla kernel. i'm on the rev. 2.0 p35-ds4. i have no idea why it's not working for me. moreover, sometimes i can't even shutdown. it just hangs.

Windows by default disables the NIC at Windows shutdown time in order to disable Wake-On-Lan, and the NIC will remain disabled until the next time Windows turns it on. The driver does not know how to turn the NIC on from this disabled state when starting up in another OS; therefore, the device will not respond, even if the driver loads and reports that the device is up. To work around this problem, simply enable the feature "Wake-on-lan after shutdown." You can set this option through Windows' device manager.

 

Here's how:

- Boot up Windows

- Right click on My Computer

- Click on Properties -- Hardware -- Device Manager

- Expand your network card section and double click on your network card

- Set "Wake-on-lan after shutdown" to 'enabled'
