spoonie Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Asrock Conroe D667 - 1333 BFG 7600GT oC (diabolik installer - YOU GUYS ROCK!) 2 gigs ram E4600 2.4 ghz Core 2 ATA boot, ATA DVD Sata storage Kalyway 10.5.1 Everything works fine except the blasted ALC888 audio. I dont care though, because i'm using a usb soundcard. However - i DO have a question - how do i know if (and i honestly cant remember what i selected on the install) i've installed any kind of EFI, vanilla, or whatever? i know i formatted "GUID" - but that's about it I took a chance and updated the security updates, and they worked. System profiler shows: Model Name: Mac Model Identifier: Mac Pro Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 800 MHz Boot ROM Version: Hack.int.0sh Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxx System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.1 (9B18) Kernel Version: Darwin 9.1.0 Boot Volume: Leopard Boot Mode: Normal Computer Name: Hackintosh User Name: Hackintosh (Hackintosh) Time since boot: 1:14 Thoughts? everything is smashing, btw. i LOVE the speed increase over my sse2 pentium, nevermind my ancient single-processor g5...

spoonie Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hackintosh:~ Hackintosh$ uname -a Darwin Hackintosh.local 9.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.1.0: Sat Nov 17 02:56:34 SCT 2007; made by ToH:xnu-1228.0.2~1/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 does that mean i skipped on going vanilla (the two checkboxes), and just went with the TOH kernel? (kalyway 10.5.1) i cant seem to re-install this cleanly on another drive without the common "constant reboot" problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonie Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 incase anyone cares, or has the same problem, it was a single BIOS setting that had me rebooting constantly. details can be found here, thanks to DUNE31! #96 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=545523 copied: WELL I WANT TO SUMMARIZE THINGS: BIOS SETTINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT ! SO THIS IS A BIOS SETTING TEMPLATE : To your CPU CONFIGURATION section : MAX CPUID VALUE Limit (or similar) : Disabled Vanderpool or virtualization : Disabled CPU TM Function : Enabled Excecute Disable Bit (or called NX or XD on some mobos) : Enabled (the most important, if not enabled the result is reboot loop with vanilla kernel) To your POWER section : ACPI 2.0 Support : Enabled ACPI APIC : Enabled I had the "execute disable bit" to disabled, though in the asrock bios is was called something else. as soon as i changed it, whammo, no more constant rebooting after seeing a quick flash of the EFI text. the new install on a sata drive, from a sata DVD, GUID, vanilla. OS sees the drives (250 and 500 gig) no problems, no apparent speed issues, no compatability mode enabled, afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
