Need help to install on Intel D945GNTLKR mobo + Penitum 4 641

[zedzed]

I have been searching and searching but no luck so I will ask in this specific thread - maybe someone will see this and help out

 

I have the iatkos 1.0ir2 installer

 

Hardware

 

mobo = Intel D945GNTLKR

cpu = Pentium 4 641

DVD = Pioneer 115 on IDE

HD = 250 gig on SATA

 

I have been able to install but there is hang on boot.

 

What Customize Settings should I use?

[zedzed]

update - I boot with -v -x

 

Boot stops at

 

BSD root: disk0s1, major 14, minor 1

jnl: unknown-dev: journal start/end pointers reset! (jnl 0x4507f00; s 0x1310z00 e 0x1310a00)

[tle88]

I have D945GNTLKR + D945 @ 3536 MHz. +

I have cheap C-Media usb soundadaptor.

(Sigmatel 9220 need something fix more.)

 

 

1. Kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso

 

Format disk guid and install efi_8.0

 

After installation: Boot again with DVD.

In terminal: diskutil list

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (Your's disk number)

p

f 2 (mbr=1, guid=2)

write

yes

exit

reboot , take dvd out.

 

Now Your's bootdisk right second partition is activated.

 

2. Restore_Factory_Desktop_settings

3. Finnish.pkg (this is optional....) :-)

4. KalywayIntelCombo10.5.2

5. kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg

 

+ Last QuickTimes & iTunes, with efi_8.0 You can

use _all_updates_ in Apple's update sites.

 

Kernel 9.2 not sleeps and wakes well.... I change back

older 9.1 kernel. It works well. You have it in yours disk

already, it name is "tohkernel" in root level.

 

So. Boot again with Kalyway dvd. Open terminal.

 

cd /Volumes/xxxxxx (<-Yours bootdisk name here)

ls -la

 

( com.apple.boot.plist: kernel name must be "mach_kernel" => )

 

cp mach_kernel mach_kernel92 (copy old kernel with new name, if You want to do that)

cp -f tohkernel mach_kernel (copy tohkernel over mach_kernel)

 

chown root:wheel mach_kernel* (fix rightness...)

chmod 644 mach_kernel* (and userlevel)

 

Reboot. Should works now with new (older) mach_kernel version 9.1

It sleeps and wakes well. Only problem is usb automounting, which

is broken. (in 10.5.2) - Someone fix it soon, I presume.

 

I hope that this help You.

 

-.-

 

By the way.... Your's motherboard choises was excellent. :-)

[zedzed]

I think I have just wasted 18 hours reading this that and the other thing on this site and no way no how can I get my stupid machine working.

 

I tried all sort of permutations of installs and nothing - just a freaking hang at boot-up.

 

I thought iATKOS was THE best installer with the least problems,

 

 

F-This - soon I go back to Vista - ha ha ha ha

 

When you say "Format disk guid and install efi_8.0"

What is the best guide for this?

I assume I have to partition my drive into one small partition and one big partition?

[tle88]

No one is promise, that it would be easy. However... Intel D945GNTLKR is

one of the most easiest motherboard to built fullworking Hackintosh. imho.

 

>I thought iATKOS was THE best installer with the least problems,

>F-This - soon I go back to Vista - ha ha ha ha

 

It is Your's choice. I am present to You full solution.

 

>When you say "Format disk guid and install efi_8.0"

>What is the best guide for this?

>I assume I have to partition my drive into one small partition and one big partition?

 

Boot with Kalyway dvd.

There is menu, which have all program what You need.

Read and think.

 

One partition, guid partition map. Then You move on and install new system.

Customize option is: guid efi_8.0. Nothing else. It is so simple.

After that You must activate Your boot partition. I have tell to You how.

 

>... wasted 18 hours reading this that...

 

In here we call it studying.

 

-.-

[zedzed]

I tried again twice tonight with my iATKOS install DVD while I wait for Kalyway to download.

 

Still no luck.

 

I have DVD on IDE

I have SATA HD and I set it to IDE in BIOS.

 

Still no luck

 

Tomorrow I try Kalyway

If that does not work then back to Vista

 

I don't think I can use EFI since I have Pentium 4 641 CPU

 

You say "Read and Think" - well I am trying but I am not a super geek.

I would think that even a monkey doing random things would have gotten it working by now.

I must be dumber than a monkey.

 

Maybe the instructions here are not good enough.

[tle88]

DVD on IDE is OK.

 

Sata disk must be AHCI.

 

You can use efi - not absolutely sure that, I have D945 -

but not vanilla kernel. You need netkas hacked version.

 

Pentium 641 is quite new model, "cedar mill" core, which is half

of "presler" dualcore of pentium D. It _should_ work with efi.

imho. (bios: one core)

 

= Kalyway distro installation:

 

NO any vanilla in kernel section.

NO anything video, network or else.

 

ONLY - after formatted disk in one partition and guid partition map -

efi_8.0 _guid_ version. <- this one and only in custom section

before installation.

 

After installation: Kalyway distro not activate boot disk right.

You must make it by hand by using terminal. So : boot with dvd

again and fix it.

 

NOW Your machine start direct from first hd with osx.

(take dvd out from Your's rom station)

 

-.-

[marliwahoo]

Use kalyway. I never got atkos to work on my 945gntlkr. I thought the problem was me. It must be something with atkos.

 

After install you must manually set active disk. Search for how to do that.

 

Good luck.

I have D945GNTLKR + D945 @ 3536 MHz. +

I have cheap C-Media usb soundadaptor.

(Sigmatel 9220 need something fix more.)

 

 

Slightly off topic, but I've got a D945PSN with the sigmatel 9220 and even though you already answered my question, there's still no way to get that to work? Which sound adaptor do you have then?

[tle88]

Link is from Finland, but You can see the picture.

 

http://snadiomena.net/jutut/58

 

Bottom of the site is C-Media Electronics link.

 

Cheap, and voices quality (2-channel stereo) is excellent. (imho)

 

Read: C-Media sites, CM-108 controller:

 

http://www.cmedia.com.tw/files/doc/USB/CM1...heet%20v1.6.pdf

 

Typical signal-noise ratio is 93,6 dB and SILENT SNR is 98,2 dB <- good !!!

In frequence pictures You can see, that lines are very straight too.

 

I have Logitech X-530 series with it, and there is no any low level "hummm" sound.

My headphone set is Logitech too. They all works well together.

 

I have read somewhere, that C-Media has made this usb-soundstick over 7 million unit.

I have seen it black-silver and silver-blue colour.

 

-.-

[Giraffe Longneck]

I did some digging and found a cheap usb device thats working now. Thanks for the shove in the right direction tle88

[marliwahoo]

Sigmatel 9220 is working fine on my 945gntlkr. Use Taruga's Apple HDA patcher.

I tried that with no success, nothing would even show up in the system profiler

[marliwahoo]

When you get Kalyway ....Go to disk utility and partition your drive as a single partition. In options choose GUID because it has a slight performance edge or MBR because it is easier to dual boot.

 

Install with no options - except where you choose GUID or MBR efi. (It will probably chosen for you) Obviously, choose the same scheme that you used to partition the drive.

 

Install leopard

 

Dont do ANYTHING else.

 

Check to see if it boots - It probably wont.

 

If it will not boot ..... go in and set the partition with Leopard as active(not the efi partition). Yes, I know I said earlier that you should partition your drive as one partition. Well - Kalyway installs the efi partition for you.

 

Make sure your bios has the correct drive selected as the start up drive.

 

That is it. Don't do anything else. You are doing too much.

 

My sound works with the 1.20 patcher and this file:Yes I know it says 9221 - but It works with my mb.

Right Click the following file and save http://psykopat.free.fr/apple/AppleHDA/sig...igmatel9221.txt

PATCHER

[zedzed]

tle88 - I REALLY appreciate the help that you have given.

Here is step by step what I have done.

 

First I used "Format & Make Bootable HD for Leopard.iso" to make HD bootable

Next I installed "kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso" with just the EFI_GUID

 

Note: My SATA HD is set to ACPI in BIOS

 

In DiskUtility I see only one partition - named osx

I do not see any EFI partition

GUID Partition Stable

Disk identifier = disk0

 

 

After installation: Boot again with DVD. - YES

 

In terminal: diskutil list - YES

 

Under disk0 I see the following

0: GUID_partition_scheme 232.9 Gi disk0

1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1

2: Apple_HFS osx 232.6 Gi disk0s2

 

 

 

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 - YES

 

I now have prompt fdisk:1>

 

 

p - YES

 

I see abunch of numbers showing geometry

 

 

f 2 - YES

 

Partition 2 marked active

 

write - YES

 

Device could not be accessed exclusively.

A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n]

 

yes - YES

 

Writing MBR at offset 0

 

exit - YES

goes back to bash prompt

 

reboot - YES

 

take dvd out - YES

 

 

End result = FLASHING CURSOR

 

I assume that when you say

1. Kalyway_leo_10.5.1.isoFormat disk guid and install efi_8.0

That you mean you install all of OSX and that the EFI_GUID gets installed automatically

 

Just out of curiosity - is there any way to make the HD 'factory fresh'?What I mean is to clean out the MBR or any other thing where settings might be made to the HD?

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 - YES

 

 

Just out of curiosity - is there any way to make the HD 'factory fresh'?What I mean is to clean out the MBR or any other thing where settings might be made to the HD?

 

 

Is the correct boot hd selected in the bios ??

 

Double check partition information with disk util. Click on you osx partition then click the info button. Disk identifier should be disk0s2.

 

Everything else looks correct.

 

 

"factory fresh" should have been taken care of when you partitioned the drive. You did actually partition the drive again before this install , right ?

[tle88]

And what gone wrong is, that You use something "format and make bootable hd" before...

 

- Do not do that. <- !!!!!!!

 

> First I used "Format & Make Bootable HD for Leopard.iso" to make HD bootable

> Next I installed "kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso" with just the EFI_GUID

 

 

First: You need ONLY kalyway_leo distro. <- Read again.

 

Boot dvd, use diskutility, Do: 1 partition, guid mapping.

 

(Read again: ONE partition.)

 

And Yes, HD is like "factory fresh" after that.

 

Then: Install like before. Custom section: ONLY efi_8.0 guid.

 

Kalyway distro will makes everything else. That distro installs efi partition,

puts efi_8.0 there, does EVERYTHING else what is needed.

 

Making anything - ANYTHING - in disk is NOT Your's job. Kalyway does that.

 

You ONLY activate right partition, partition where Your's new system is,

after installation. It is ALL what You need to do.

 

 

===

 

You early write, that You feel yourself monkeys... I think, that Your's

problem is that You think too much. (in this case) It really is so simple...

Kalyway distro makes Yours machine ready. You only activate right

partition after installation. Nothing else. Do not do that more complicated,

because it is not.

 

Trust Kalyway distro. It is well made and designed for our machine.

It works well. Very well.

 

-.-

 

Ps.

 

Your machine is actually bios machine. It boots naturally from first sata disk,

disk which is place "sata0". Install system in that disk.

Sorry I missed the first part. You, of course, are right. As I said earlier, all you need to do is use Kalyway. NOTHING ELSE !!

[tle88]

Because we talk here about Intel D 945 GNTLKR motherboard...

 

It has Sigmatel 9220 audio chip.

 

It is actually 8 channel _almost_full_ programmable chip. <- !

 

http://www.sigmatel.com/products/pcaudio/d...p/stac9220.aspx

 

Almost every line can work line in or line out, depending driver.

 

Here is working driver for Sigmatel 9220. (thanks vakakush)

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=20221

 

Audio line out is now blue line. It works well, and it is NOT broken.

 

Quality is well.

 

-.-

 

Remember: After installation: In terminal: diskutil repairPermissions /

And reboot.

[zedzed]

Woo hooo! It works.

As per your recommendation I did not use the "Make Bootable" disk.

 

I went in Kalyway installer and tookout all partitions, made new partitions, erased.

 

Then I did the "activate partition disk0s2" and then installed and everything worked.

 

Finally after 22 hours!

 

A big thank you to the team here that helped me out even when I was being SUPER CRANKY!

 

I am now installing updates.

Sadly I can't do the vanilla kernel update since I do not have a Core2Duo cpu

But that is not a big deal

 

Thanks again!

[tle88]

Hmmm.... I must explain...

 

Kalyway 10.5.2 update makes backup named

"10.5.2_Backup_orig & kernel_kext" folder.

You can find it after update.

 

There is inside last " AppleHDA.kext " version 1.5.6a19.

(born in february 2008)

 

You can put this kext back to Your extension folder.

By mouse, and giving permission in that copy.

 

Then: In terminal: diskutil repairPermissions /

 

Reboot.

 

AFTER that, You can use " Sigmatel9220Audio.Support.pkg"

 

It makes changes in new AppleHDA.kext, and unfortunately

changes too kext info to old versions 1.1.0a20 info. (!!!)

 

But: You can see that kext is still 2 meg big and born february 2008.

 

Actually: It IS new 1.5.6a19 kext with older sigmatel 9220 parts.

 

Now You have new HDA kext which works with Your's Sigmatel.

 

 

And remember: AppleHDA is new model of old azalia audio. So: delete

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext if You find it in

Your's system. <- very important.

 

What ever You do, allways " diskutil repairPermission / " is good to do.

 

Hope this helps a little.

 

-.-

 

Zedzed. Congratulated for succesfull installation. :-)

You may certainly use that pkg. However that pkg is older and has less features working than using Taruga's patcher. (no headphone, no line in) With the above pkg you will also have to manually change your input jack if you dual boot.

 

The AppleHDA patcher and the patch file I uploaded above is almost fully functional. To start, make sure you start with the original AppleHDA.kext from kalyway 10.5.1. I'm not sure if the patcher will work with a previously modified AppleHDA.kext.

 

Then use the patcher. Do not open the patcher or patch file. Just drag and drop the unopened patch file on top of the unopened patcher. Repairing permissions is part of the script in the patcher, so that is unnecessary. Restart and check System Prefs for audio.

 

After doing the graphics update make sure to replace the AppleIntelIntergratedframebuffer.kext with the older version 1.4.20. You may or may not also need the older version of the IOnetworking.kext for ehternet.

 

There is also a 9.2 kernel and AppleSMBios.kext you may want to use. Make sure to repair permissions after kext changes. Updateing the prebinding is also a good idea.

[zedzed]

So I start installing stuff and doing the online update and I lose the video resolution capability!

 

As you know I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and I had the proper resolution for my Dell 2005WFP monitor 1680x1050.

 

I installed the 10.5.2 upgrade and everything is good.

 

I did the online upgrade of a bunch of stuff and after that my video is limited to 1024x768.

 

I then go to Apple to download video upgrade 1.0 (or something like that) and my video is still stuck at 1024x 768.

 

Is there a package to take me back to the old video driver for gma950?

 

Thanks again

My sound works with the 1.20 patcher and this file:Yes I know it says 9221 - but It works with my mb.

What is up with ALL the dead linksMarliwahoo - can you PM me the files?Thanks

Read my last post.

Yeah - I read your last post but did not know where to find the files.It was easier to re-install from scratch - ha ha ha
