Nitrokki Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, i tried to type these: cd /system/library/ rm -R Extensions.* and so on ...but when it asks something and i type y (yes) it says "Read-only file system". I guess i dont have permissions to do that? How do i change the permissions? EDIT: Got those commands work now but no change. It still "freezes" at this point: link Does this have to do anything with display drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iscream Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Signature is added. Although the OS' installed, several components are not working so far. 1) on-board LAN device was not detected/installed. Found an old SMC 9432TX, not sure if it will work. 2) SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card was not detected/installed. Should I select some drivers when installing OSX or install drivers after installing OSX? Could someone kindly point out where I can find the drivers and how to install them? I'm really lost as I'm a super noob. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(qe/ci) onboard lan is not working for sure, but there is not stable drivers so far ... for the other components, you should go to check hcl in wiki.osx86project.org yourself, i don't own them so i couldn't help you in this scope.

I have no problem boot up and the OS seems pretty stable as for now. 8800GTS runs full resolution on my Samsung 225bw (driver selected during OS installation). I switched my X-Fi XtremeMusic card with on-board sound card and was detected by OS and work correctly. For P5N32-E SLI, is it the best to buy a Realtek 8139 chipset network adapter or trying to get a driver? Anyway my old SMC 9432TX can work? Thanks.

Thanks. for SMB9432tx, dunno if it works, you need to find it out yourself .. i think there are some long term problems for nforce chipset that're yet to be solved, so almost all of us have network drops for various ethernet card including 8139 and got KPs for onboard lan, but i can say it's still usable if u just use 8139 to surf the net ..

koolkiwikat Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi guys....is there any advantage of doing a fresh install with R3? as Im running R2 and all is good...Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, made an hw profile now. So i burned iatkos r3 dvd and it installed fine. Drivers that i selected in customize options: Bootloader: Darwin EFI bootloader Patches-Kernels: Nforce NO-HPET SSE3 Kernel, Remove CPUPowerManagement, Remove Thermal kexts VGA: Nvidia, Nvinject Network: Realtec something Useful tools: Temperature monitor Booted with -v and the result is in the screenshot in my previous post. Gonna try Kalyway's installation soon if i don't get this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DvP Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi there! I was already pretty far with my iAtkos but at the end i managed to blast my "extensions" folder because i forgot a little "." in the command :-/ I now reorganized my HDs and partitions. The Result is that i've got both Vista and OSX are on the same HD and different partitions which is not perfect but reasonable in my state. The Problem is now: I install iAtkos normally but there is no way to reach the bootloader. I always got directly to my Vista or into the Vista Bootloader. I've tried already both bootloaders in iAtkos but the result is always the same. Does anybody know what to do? THX and Greetz DvP Edit: Searched a lot in the forum but no real solutions. Maybe EqUaTe would help with the new patch, but i had minor problems later with it :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try booting with the -v flag. To do this, when you boot and see the line 'Press F8 for advanced options', press F8 and type -v and press Enter. This way you will see where and why the boot process is not completing. You can also try by booting with the -v -x flags which will boot up the OS in safe mode.

Mysticus C* Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 @nitrokki and DvP has the same gfx card, and my best guess is your problems are gfx card specific, as i can confirm, DvP's gfx card is the problem, OS X loads fine w/o them... Nitrokki, can you go to safe mode, and remove nvinject, geforce, and nvdanresman and nvdan50hal... see if you can boot to gui... bcoz somehow new gfx cards has problem, may have a solution in nvinject's forums... loooks like related g92 nvidia cards has this problem... @koolkiwikat: yes there is advantage: it fixes bootloader issues... r2 doesnt load the bootloader correctly... but choice is yours of course... @iscream: for your particular nic card, you need to search the forum i think, but RTL 8139 works, although there are issues related to it, such as network dropping after heavy usage... It is mentioned many times in this topic... however if your not using the net heavily it s all good... @waldfee: make a hardware profile in your signature, we cant know what you have on your system... for god sake, I typed that information as big as possible so people cant ignore them... however people are still ignoring it, w/o reading a line in the guides straight to last post and ask question... what is wrong?

DvP Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Mysticus, you succeeded somehow! I am online with hackintosh 10.5.2! LAN works with some old Compaq workstation PCI-Card. Thanks a lot for your unbelievable kind help. Hope you still can give me some hints. THX THX THX and Greetz from Wilhering, DvP Edit: getting crazy at 4 o'clock in the morning. tried in many ways to get graphics working, but your nforcepatched files were the only working solution :-) great visuals as result!

muitommy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i'm afraid to say RTL8139 is good enough, a moment ago , i find 8139 caused freezing too ... network drops is not the problem anymore ... maybe nforce chip's user are meant to use one core only ..so sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DvP Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 maybe nforce chip's user are meant to use one core only ..so sad Is "about this mac" it tells me also that i've got a core2solo processor but in system monitor it shows me all 4 cores working. did you check both? the graphic card is still a problem for me. i can use the right resolution but the peformance (checked in xbench) is very poor. can you check yours too to share results and get sure?
