verdant Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yes i read the 1st post 1000 times. I have OSx full installed in IDEs. But i want install in SATA.. and i cant change to AHCPI. My MOBO 630i is a ACER with R01-A3 bios. My PC is a Acer Aspire M3640 With some BIOS setting RAID also enables AHCI...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikkuru Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hello! (first time poster) I was trying to use the forum search and went thru pages of this topic, but all the possibly relevant info was so scattered, I couldn't make much out of it, so I'll ask here. Hopefully someone can help me. If this is the wrong topic, please show me the right way. Ok, I installed OS X with Kalyway 10.5.2 method, all fine and dandy, but, my on-board LAN does not work. My mobo is MSI P6N Diamond. Now, obviously many others are having this issue, but has any solution been found? I mean, besides going out and buying another NIC, no thanks. Any help would be apriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cavallo Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 NUnforce. The worst chipset platform i have never seen in my life with any os.... Just an idea if i don't like on board lan (cause to known problems) and i disable it final cut, compressor and many others don't work. why on intel it doesn't happen?

You could use the solutions in post #2: + Linksys WUSB54GC (reported OK) there are official drivers for this + Netgear WG111V3 wireless card (My suggestion for wifi) (there are official drivers for this) + Apple USB to Ethernet (reported OK) (My suggestion for lan) works OTB Or you could try the Eno modified forcedeth.kext......my own solution was a RTL8169 PCI NIC......

icedtrip Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I posted this in the Graphic Card forum, but it may be more appropriate here since I believe the problem to be nForce mobo related combined with the nvidia gfx card. See sig for hardware. I have been trying to get QE/CI working with my 8800GTS 512 (G92) for awhile now and have failed with countless attempts. From everything that I see, my best bet is with NVkush, but I have not been able to get it working either. I have tried NVkush and NVinject. I have placed my device ID in all necessary kexts (NVDAResman, NVDANV50Hal, and NVkush or NVinject). I have placed my NVCAP value in NVkush, specified the necessary VRAM,totalsize value. I am at a loss. Here is what I have used. IOPCIMatch = 0x060010de NVCAP = <04000000 00000300 0c000000 00000007 00000000> VRAM,totalsize = <00000020> Of course, I have tried a mix of everything (i.e. not including VRAM,totalsize, or NVCAP, or both), but nothing. I have tried this using 10.5.2 (with updated graphic drivers) and 10.5.5. My current setup is completely up to date with 10.5.5 and I have everything else working. Basically, it always hangs when the login window tries to load. NVkush recognizes the card and NVDANV50Hal seems to load fine, but the machine always hangs. Not sure if this would be important, but if I move NVDAResman.kext out of Extensions, delete caches, etc; I boot without hanging even with NVkush and NVDANV50Hal remaining in the Extensions folder. I simply do not have QE/CI and my res is stuck at 1024x768. On a positive note, the Eno nForceLAN kext works wonderfully. I simply had to make sure airport is turned off before installing it as it would panic if airport was left on. So I now have onboard gigabit lan!! Any ideas? I'll buy whoever can help me a case of beer (as long as they live in the DC area and are >=21). Let me know if anybody needs more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi guys, I installed(the bare system) Kalaway 10.5.2 using: Evga nforce 780i mobo BenQ IDE DW1655 DVD +/- RW 40 GB IDE Seagate Hard Drive Q9450 CPU Evga 8800 GTS 640MB Microsoft USB Intellimouse Ex Logitech USB Keyboard Now because I only installed the bare system would it be ok to update to 10.5.5 and then try and get my Internet, bluetooth, sound chip ect to work or should I get those things working now and then do the update? BTW Mysticus C I sent you a pm requesting the link for patches but I am not sure the pm actually got sent as I have nothing in my sent box, however I don't want to inundate you with pm's so if you did not recieve it let me know, please.

I would recommend getting everything working OK under 10.5.2, so that you know what audio chipset codec works for you, likewise if Eno nForce LAN kext works for your onboard LAN, or if you need a PCI or USB LAN solution, likewise Bluetooth etc. since 10.5.5 is simply an update from 10.5.2, and you will need to know what post combo update Customize selections to make...... BTW it would help other readers for you to post in the thread on nForce Series 7xxi chipset MOBOs how you got your Evga 8800 GTS 640MB running OK......is it with full CI/QE and resolution better than 1024x768.....? BTW for an updated look here...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks Verdant for the good advice. At the moment my 8800GTS is running at 1024x768 so it's really just stock setting. However I will post update when I get it all working and actually know what I'm talking about , at the moment I still have a lot of research to do to figure out how to proceed.

weekender Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I installed the 9.5.0 Voodoo beta 2c kernel and it works wonders with my 680i board. I can actually now use my full 4GB of ram where before I had to use the maxmem=2048 flag to have my setup stable. As described in the kernel instructions, I replaced my old AppleSMBIOS.kext and System.kext with the 10.5.5 vanilla ones and added the appleSMBIOSEFI.kext by Chun-Nan. Bye bye old 9.4.0 You can get the 9.5.0 voodoo kernel at: http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ and the appleSMBIOSEFI.kext at: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=108606 For the vanilla System and appleSMBIOS kexts, just use Pacifist and extract them from Apple's 10.5.5 ComboUpdate: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...omboupdate.html or just download them below if you're too lazy or have a too slow connection to get the comboupdate. Enjoy. appleSMBIOS_System_10.5.5_kexts_Vanilla.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiLsA Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hy guys, please, I need your help to install Leopard in this mobo, Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H:Chipset nforce 630i / Nvidia 7100 (DVI-I + VGA + HDMI) Audio Realtek 8.1 Analog / Optical SPDIF ALC885 Accepts DDR2 533/667/800 3 internal SATAII + 1 e-Sata + 1 IDE Lan Onboard Nvidia My hardware components: Pentium D 915 2.8GHz + Kingston DDR2 667 2GB + 1 DDR2 667 1GB, DVD R/RW LG SATA GH20NS10 and GSA 4160B (IDE), 2 Seagate x 250GB SATA II and 1 Seagate 120GB IDE. (Note: IDE devices only external but I tested it, and removed the SATA too but do not work)... The release that I tried was iATKOS 2.0. Do you know other releases that works so as well with my hardware? Thanks for attention. I have the Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H, this is how i installed Leopard: Install Kalyway 10.5.2 Use NVInject standard, anything else won't work Sleep kernel You need the kext for the ALC889a and the HDAenabler to get the sound working. Don't try to update to 10.5.3 with combo update, it won't work. For now i'm stuck at 1024x768 but i will keep on trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomerobot Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ok, so I searched through this thread/site and I don't feel as though I found a clear answer – here's my problem Latest forcedeth.kext recognizes my board's ethernet ports, but assigns a static IP, and when I manually assign settings it doesn't work (including DHCP) For the life of me I can't figure this out, this is my third Hackintosh box, and I've never had a problem getting everything up and running (well, other than sound on the P6N Diamond, which I know isn't possible) so needless to say, I'm frustrated. I could just get a compatible card/wireless but it just seems so lame! Is there a known solution, or am I SOL? OS : Vista Ultimate 32-bit + Kalyway 10.5.2 (I run Vista on the same box, but on a completely different HD) Mobo : MSI P6N Diamond 680i Cpu : Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6400 CPU @ 2.13GHz Ram: 2GB DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory Corsair VGA : XFX GeForce 8800GT Alpha Dog (512) LAN : Onboard USB Ports : 8xUSB 2.0 (Working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberboysk Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ok, i finally was able to get osx86 working fully on my 790i Ultra SLI(evga), with a 9800gtx. What i did was: 1. Install Leo4allv3 using cpus=1 boot flag, install 9.2.2 kernel(non vanilla), Nforcetest chipset drivers, azalia audio drivers, ACPI-old, and the smbios options 2. Get your lan working with the nforcelan.kext, it should be floating around somewhere on the forums, had a friend who also has an nforce mobo find it, so im not sure where exactly it is located. Install with kext helper, go to ethernet and your ethernet should be working. 3. Boot using cpus=1(for now), download the pre and post update patches for 10.5.5, download 10.5.5 combo, install the pre update nforce patch, install 10.5.5, force quit installer after it asks you to reboot, apply 10.5.5 post update patches, i used the following options: -Mac Pro/1333Mhz SMBIOS -The nvidia driver at the bottom of the installer+ 512mb option, on first restart after installing 10.5.5 QE/CI enabled(forget which one it was, was doing it last night at almost midnight) -Voodoo Kernel latest 4. Boot using cpus=1, Download the dsdt patch and install it. 5. Download the latest voodoo kernel release 6. Backup Seatbelt.kext 7. Boot using cpus=1(should be last time you need to!)Install 10.5.6 update(non combo update) to osx, then before you restart use kext helper to install seatbelt.kext from 10.5.5 that you backed up earlier, then install the voodoo xnu kernel again(or osx will boot into vanilla kernel, which actually i was able to get into but was unstable, so im using voodoo kernel atm) 8.Boot with -v for now, if it works go ahead and switch to efi, im loving efi @ 1680x1050, and leopard just kicks the socks off vista,which ive known for awhile but finally have fully working osx86 install, thanks to everyone that has created these installers and patches. Enjoy a (hopefully) fully working install of osx 10.5.6, this works on the system specced below, and one last note, when i installed 10.5.5 post update, on that reboot i had qe/ci and native res without gfx strings or anything, ive had to use gfx strings on the last 5 times ive installed osx86 on this computer, which really surprised me, and dual monitors(one was dvi, other was dvi->vga) on that same boot. Specs: EVGA 790i Ultra SLI XFX 9800gtx Black Edition Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Western Digital Caviar 250gb IDE Hard Drive Asus Sata DVD-ROM drive(osx wasnt friendly with my asus dvd lightscribe burner, so i unplug it for osx) I figured this might help someone out with the same hardware as me, good luck to whoever trys to install(as a note, i have better luck with ide than with sata on the 790i, and all 4 cores working @ 3.9Ghz.)

CPU Intel Core Duo E5200 I got installed Leo on an Ide HD, but then I can't make it boot with any option or combination (-v -x -s -f cpus=1). I followed the instructions for the BIOS settings. I also tried to disconnect the DVD Rom because I have only one IDE port, but with no luck. It gets stuck after itunesphonedriver I'm dual booting with tboot, I'm gonna try Chameleon, but I wonder if it's any difference... I'll appreciate any help.
