jamesah Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just got leopard running on a Gateway GT5026E using Kalyway. I did nothing but click install throughout the whole cd and now I have a semi working install. It seems that Darwin is messed up. . . how do i fix that(i have an Ubuntu boot cd for Grub if that helps)? I also have no audio or ethernet. . . where do i get .kexts and how do i get started testing the ones that might work for my hackintosh? I'm new to this but here is the info I think could help to figure out my situation(let me know if there is something else needed): Model Name:Mac Model Id: Mac Pro Processor Speed:2.8Ghz Number of Proc: 1 Number of Cores: 2 Memory: 512MB Bus: 800Mhz Rom Version. Hack.int.0sh Pentium D. Motherboard: Intel Cortez (945G Chipset) Audio: onboardHD (uses sigmatel?!) . . . i think i saw something about getting sigmatel kexts working Lan: Intel 10/100 onboard Leopard is installed completely on my Sata 300 GB maxtor harddrive after a fresh wipe. http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/GTModels...8/5648sp3.shtml Hopefully someone can aim me in the right direction. . . i'm willing to try many diff things to get this install to work properly. PS: The media card reader works too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak41 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't want to be a jerk, but read and use the forum search...the info is likely out there, it's not fair to just expect someone to hold your hand through the whole process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesah Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 you're right. I'm searching though. I think i've found the trick to the audio. I'm pretty sure the AppleHDA 1.15 will work once i get to do it. The ethernet problem still exists and i'm working on the bootloader problem.

mtotho Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 you have no specified any useful information. Chances are only 1/4 the ppl who read this thread will actually go and find out for you. you have not specified what is wrong with the ethernet (does it work) and the bootloader. I can easily fix these problems if you provided more information. AppleHDA patcher is simply a program that uses codecs that were made for your specific audio (if any) and patches them to make your audio work. Yes some sigmatels work, not all. Your in luck. Here is fix for audio 9220.txt (you may have to copy and paste that to a .txt file and name it 9220) Use AppleHDA patcher 1.20 (or whatever latest is). Simply drag the txt file over the applehda icon. DO NOT OPEN APPLE HDA first. SIMPLY DRAG THE TXT FILE TO THE UNOPENED ICON AND AUTHENTICATE. it will patch and reboot.' consider ur self lucky that i went to find that for you. That kind of laziness is not 'wildly' accepted on this forum. I would be most happy to help you if you said "my darwin bootloader does not timeout long enough, or my ethernet gets "self ip error" and i searched everywhere for it" Then i could give you a solution (even tho you could have searched more) hey, searching is an acquired talent. Hey, i am a nice guy. edit: this may be a solution for ur ethernet (whatever the problem is) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=25477 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesah Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 sorry about not being specific. Thanks a million for your help. I've been really busy tonight. The ethernet port does not work at all and doesn't even seem to be recognized. OSX will not boot unless I have the kalyway install cd in the drive. --I'm pretty sure that there is a problem with Darwin. It seems like once, the cd runs, it uses a good version of darwin and allows the HD to boot. Thanks again for the help. I don't mean to beg for help, I just wanted to get my post up so I can get this baby working properly asap. =) I really wasn't all that into MAC until I installed it out of curiosity. Now it looks like i'll be switching if I can get the ethernet driver to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtotho Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 if you cant get ethernet, try a cheap nic for <10 dollars. And i know your darwin problem. you said "put in the cd, pressed install everywhere" that right there makes no system work. The reason being is on the kalyway.. the default EFI type is GUID (type of partition scheme) partitions at default are formatted as MBR (master boot record). This would cause that problem. Simply reinstall (try using options such as "vanilla kernel and fix" also go and change the Bootloader/EFI type to MBR instead of GUID(default) install... should work.
