sparrowdclxvi Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I think that using natit.kext might not be so good, so I will find something else. If you have problems please boot with verbose mode to identify the issue, and also adding your configuration will also make it easier. System config is as follows: CPU: Core2 Duo T8100 Memory: 4Gig RAM Network Card: Broadcom, not sure on model. Unfortunately I think its a 5096. Wireless: Intel 4965AGN Graphics is onboard Intel 965 chipset. I've not installed OS X yet, so how do I boot in verbose mode using your boot CD? Thanks.

smartmobili Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Dell XPS M1330 Boot CD Finally I got some time and have tested more properly the boot CD. This resulted in a version 0.5 which is available from http://www.superhai.com/boot-test.html Updates: Moved back to 32 bit mode due to EFI64 nodes missing in Chameleon RC3. This will avoid Install failures due to the bless command. And also firewire without security mode will also require EFI64, as well as other minor things Removed the DSDT.aml file, so it doen't need it to boot from CD. It may however be recommended to make your own on your final install Updated the VoodooHDA.kext with new version from Slice and added pin configs so Speakers work properly. The boot CD do not use it, but you can copy it to your final install. Gfx on the boot CD is using natit.kext for injecting values. And the values are for nvidia 8400M GS, but it seem like 8600 work as well, it will day 8400 in system profiler however. Intel gfx might or might not work accelerated, but I don't know about it. Smbios.plist with MacBookPro3,1 values, it is the best match for the M1330. I added the Chameleon binary files to the CD so you don't need to copy it afterwards. Included is the readme. TODO: none for the boot CD at the moment, chime in here if you come up with something, and bugs as well Insert and boot from it - when chameleon screen completes loading, eject the cd and insert the Snow Leopard dvd and wait for approx one minute. Then press F5 and if all goes well you will see the DVD as an icon. Choose it and off you go. If it doesn't show up properly, try to press F5 once more. If you have another laptop than the XPS M1330, try it at your own risk. I also will update my Dell XPS M1330 Snow Leopard guide. And please don't ask me about things not related to this. And, and... I hate linux. Hello Superhai, First thanks for your work(always start by a congratulations before any critics ;-) however I have tested your preboot CD until 0.4 on the following configurations and I never managed to make it work : Dell XPS M1530 Core2Duo T8300 2.4 GHz 3 GB DDR2 GForce 8600MGT (1680x1050) 120 GB SSD OCZ Vertex Marvell Yukon 88E8040 + Wifi Intel 4965AGN But recently I managed to get it work so I am a complete noob in hackintosh but here is my analysis: You were using DSDT.aml but in your kernel flags you are not using DropSSDT=y so I don't think it can work. Your DSDT doesn't work on a M1530 and I started from another one from Chrysaor and modified it. You can see discussions on this thread http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...90780&st=20. You were also using a very simplistic smbios.plis but I have used the one from the other thread I mentioned above and that uses a MacBookPro5,1 identifier (it seems to work better for acpi problems). I will post my ISO tonight if I don't forget and my sources as well UPDATE : you can find my preboot cd HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post my ISO tonight if I don't forget and my sources as well UPDATE : you can find my preboot cd HERE There are a couple of points you are missing. First I have never made anything for the XPS M1530. Secondly I never use DropSSDT because it is not necessary for me, it does work perfectly well with my modified DSDT. Third, the DSDT.aml added to the boot cd was something I found here, as my laptop was out of service. Fourth; about the MacBookPro5,1: I don't know about 1530, but the XPS M1330 have very similar hardware as the MacBookPro3,1. All the ACPI tables are good, and built-in speed-step work on my CPU just fine. C-states however stopped working after Apple added a check on the LPC device hardware in Leopard, so I guess I need to find out how to fix that, however nor does it work with mbp5,1. The boot disk of version 0.1 and 0.5 does not use a custom DSDT and possibly is able to work better for you. I think the v0.1 is the one which have a greater chance of succeeding on a non M1330 system as it is more conservative and generic in the design. The smbios.plist was put in wrong place on the 0.4 so it didn't work at all for the boot cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkey Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi superahai Does sleep works for you with Snow Leopard. I have everything working apart from sleep in my Dell inspiron 1520. Earlier in 10.5.7 OS X, I used to have your VoodooUSBEHCI.kext and IOUSBFamily.kext edited for OSBundleCompatibleVersion and sleep used to work with that. How to enable sleep in SL ? I had to use a dsdt with speed step enabled for my specific processor & computer to get the computer to sleep. After that no additional mods were required. I can not get deep sleep/hibernate to work but quick-sleep (mode 0) works. With mode 3, the computer goes into deep-sleep, but it won't wake up where it was left off (deep sleep is tested by taking the battery out to simulate dead battery; the content is written to ram & hd so it should wake up fine) If you don't have a DSDT with speed step then use the attached file and you might be able to get it to work. Put it in /Extra/Extensions. Don't use this kext if you have speedstep in your dsdt... Native_Speedstep_snow_leo.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
densen Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 C-states however stopped working after Apple added a check on the LPC device hardware in Leopard, so I guess I need to find out how to fix that, however nor does it work with mbp5,1. If you could fix C-States that would be sooooooooooo good. My M1330 has a T9300 and even with native speedstep it gets very hot after 10-15 minutes of use. The fans go crazy after a while and I am 100% sure native speedstep is working. People who have gotten C-States to work have seen significant drops in CPU temps. This would hopefully increase battery life to a more normal level too. I have spent hours trying to learn about C-States and fix them, but it's just too hard for me at this point. If anyone could help tackle this problem I'd be so happy. I know you have the skill Superhai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the solution to above problem. I am just using the DSDT generated by DSDT patcher in /Extra/Extensions I have following fakesmc, nullcpupowermanagement, voodoobattery, voodoops2controller, openhaltrestart, IOATAfamily, platformuuid and in /System/Library/Extensions i have VoodooHDA, VoodooSDHC, VoodooPower plus I have removed IOATAfamily from there. The ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin is the original kext installed by default in /S/L/E, so how do i solve blocking problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin is the original kext installed by default in /S/L/E, so how do i solve blocking problem ? Yes, I have sleep working. Do not use DSDT for other computers than your own brand and model. I do not recommend using DSDT patcher, but if you don´t know better I guess you have no choice. It does however make some assumptions which may not apply to your models DSDT and therefore fail. NullCPUPowerManagement blocks AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and needs to be removed. However you need working HPET(s). Removing IOATAFamily.kext from /System/Library/Extensions will cause problems for you sooner or later. As well as any removal of "vanilla" components. If you want speedstepping working using "ACPI_SMC" plugin, you will have to remove VoodooPower as they both will try to control speedstepping at the same time. For all with XPS M1330 with same config as mine, here is the DSDT I currently use -> dsdt.aml.zip I might post about the differences that I made to it at a later time. There are no p-state tables in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkey Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 hmm if i load the voodoohda manual from /system/library/extensions sound is working why it doesn't start automatically ??? Did you delete AppleHDA.kext? Did you rebuild your extension cache after placing VoodooHDA.kext in /S/L/E? If you didn't rebuild your kext cache, find Kext Utility Snow Leopard (google it) and it should fix the problem. PS: you could also try booting with -f and see if the kext loads...

donkey Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 well i delete the /s/l/c/com.apple.kext.cache/start content should i do something else? You can do that... but make sure the permissions are set correctly. Download Kext Utility (Snow Leopard Version). Use that to set permissions correctly and to build your cache again.

donkey Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 well i solve it like that i remove the applehda(i put it back for the sake of experiment rebuild the cache and audio still work after the boot so i guess it was only a cache issue) then delete that cache thing then i use thiskextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions now the sound work after reboot thanks for help now i only have to find how make the reboot/shutdown thing sleep and how to boot in 64 not 32 Backup before you boot in 64bit.

MichaGue Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi @ all, I am using superhai's installation instructions on my M1330. I have booted with boot_cd v0.4 (v0.5 ends with a black screen) and started diskutility to create 3 partitions, option GUID Partition Table. 1st: WINDOWS (MS-DOS FAT), 50GB 2nd: Mac OS (Mac OS Extended (Journaled), 50GB 3rd: DATA (MS-DOS FAT), 150 GB After partitioning and formating I booted with my windows xp 32bit install cd and started installation. I formated the "windows partition" with NTFS from the install process. The installation started and copied all needed files to disk. After that the system tried to boot and I got the following error. "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows Root>\system32\hal.dll please re-install a copy of the above file." I checked a lot of post on the internet. Most solutions told to check the boot.ini and/or copy the hal.dll from the installation cd on the hd. I checked my boot.ini and it seems to be okay. [boot loader] timeout=1 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating system] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect I also copied the hal.dll from the installation cd on the disk into the right folder, without any changes. The error is still the same. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem. I try to install windows xp 32bit and in parallel mac os snow leopard on the same disk on different partitions.

Thanks a lot for your help and best regards. Michael Sounds to me like your XP install failed. HAL.dll is Hardware Abstraction Layer library, nothing will run without it, so your installation can't have completed properly. I'd rerun the install, and format the partition again during the Windows install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
