[GUIDE] P5KPL-AM Perfect install - Almost :-)
4 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
After much trial and error, i have finally made a near perfect guide for the P5KPL-AM Mobo. Bios settings BIOS USED 0506 Change ATA/IDE config to : SATA Change PLUG&PLAY : Yes Change Suspend mode to : S3 and ACPI 2.0 : Enabled Essentials 1). It is ideal to have two physical drives (not two partitions on the same drive) or, at least, another Mac system to work from. 2). One drive must already have OS X installed and running. This may mean using another Mac or installing a iDeneb as this works great with this board 3). Partition your "Snow" drive in Disk Utility using the GUID Partition Table (in Options button). 4). An 8GB USB stick / Flash key. 5). A retail Snow Leopard install DVD (Not the upgrade ver). How to ... 1). First Download the file i have uploaded with all the needed files in it, including a DSDT.aml complied for this exact mobo. 2). Make the USB Boot key, To do this we need to format the flash key as a GUID partition using Disk Utility on your "Other" OS X install. After you have formatted the USB stick, you will need to add the bootloader from the Downloaded file attached. So click the Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640.pkg choose to install to the usb stick. After that click "Customise" and uncheck all the Themes & Kexts, we will be using our own. Then install. After that you will need to use the show all files app in the Tools folder of the download i provided. Once shown, open your USB key via finder and delete the old boot file and replace with the one i have provided. Then you will need to go back to the disk utility, click the restore Tab and selecting Mac OSX Install DVD as the image and USB Flashdrive as the destination, be sure 'Erase' Destination' is uncheck then click restore. After this is done (20-30mins), you can transfer the "Extra" folder from the download file to your USB key in / (Root). **IMPORTANT** You Must change the apple.com.boot.plist file to suit your set up. Now this is done reboot using your USB stick and on the install screen choose, disk utility again, and partition your Snow drive as GUID. Close the disk util, and continue the install leaving all defaults on. After a successful install, you will need to boot into your previous Mac system, before starting snow for the first time. Once in the old Mac Os, you need to run the bootloader again but this time installing to "Snow" drive but again make sure you *do not* install the extra kexts, uncheck at customise. Then again copy over the boot file to snow's root as before. 3). Now you can boot into your SL partition, using -v to check for errors. 4). Once inside Snow leopard you will need the Drivers for the LAN and Audio. (Drivers.zip) Also copy your DSDT.aml onto the root of snow. Just run the .pkg's for the Drivers and restart. Then you should have a fully functional setup. Also remember to edit PlatformUUID to include your own UUID from the Snow leopard Partition. i welcome any Questions or comments, and sorry no pics!! |

Please shows us the guides you have made to help people, I made this guide specific for this board based on my own experiences for other people to benefit from my mistakes, I will of course think of myself in future, and just keep my experiences to my self!! Maybe people like to try the non NOOB way and actually learn, Any way thanks (Dick). @ Monaco78, Hiya, Thanks for the info this will most likely help a lot of people including myself, Nice one. << These are the kind of post we like to see, HELPFULL!!, lol. |

To have your mic detected, you need to connect your mic to the rear mic-input while you're in mac-os. the front one does not work yet.

Hard Drive unreadable!
I made the USB Flash key according to the instructions. I edited the existing information on com.apple.boot.plist to include my graphics efi string and resolution.
When I boot using the Installer USB key, my hard drive is not readable. The drive icon is in Disc Utility, but it says "0 Bytes" and I cannot erase or partition it. Did I miss something in the com.apple.boot.plist or an extension? Do I need to hook up the SATA drive to a different port? Please help! |

Updating Snow Leo to 10.6.2
potter 1984,
i would like to ask if your method can be updated to 10.6.2 without any issues or problems.. 'cause I have the same mobo and I've followed your guide.. really want to update my hackintosh to 10.6.2, need your help.. thanks! |
I've had Leo running on a P5KPL-AM for ages now and was looking to go snow. I found your guide, but I'm failing really early.
You say "show all files app in the Tools folder of the download" and then "delete the old boot file and replace with the one I have provided" Problem is, there's no boot file in Tools. The only one is in the Bootstrap 10.4 archive. I'm probably missing something really stupid, but ... What?! I'd appreciate any help, thanks guys. |
Make it easier
Hey Folks,
I am just building my second HacMac based on this board and want to give a tip ... You dont need a second Harddisc with an iDeneb install (or something like that). My first HacMac was built based on a Gigabyte board with very similar components so i followed this guide: http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide...or-g31m-t3672/ In this guide a installer is used to prepare the bootloader for installation and the installed SL. This makes live pretty much easier! I just successfully installed my SL with this method and just the USB Stick. Maybe a hint to make this pretty guide even better ;-))) regards |
Revision 2 of the MoBo
Hey Folks,
i just realized that i have the revision 2 of the P5KPL-AM. Therefore the DSDT ist not fully working. I created one for my mobo version, but it seems to be VERY different from the one provided in this guide. Can someone tell me, what are the changes made in the given DSDT??? Then i could temper it in my DSDT to get full sleep functionality and so on. regards!!! |

Even this is too old topic I just want everyone knows that I was able to install Snow Leopard 10.6.5 successfully and was able to update it to 10.6.6 and my board is P5KPL-AM EPU, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.43GHz, Sparkle Nvidia 8600GS, 500 Seagate HD Drive and 1x2GB Kingston 800MHz system memory. My only problem is that when I try to shut it down, it just only halt the system but all fans are still moving. Can any please guide me on how to fix this. Thank you so much.

Lion works also on this board.
Boot with XPC |
...and Mountain Lion also works great!
Installed 10.8 and upgraded to 10.8.2 with no problems using a vanilla Installer Disk modded with myHack. The only kexts I had to add were AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext (inside the IONetworkingFamily.kext) and VoodooHDA.kext. The only glitch is that from time to time it fails to shutdown (monitor and drives go off, but fans and lights remain on), but I've not totally excluded it's a software problem. I will try to put a modded DSDT (it's difficult to find one on the net, I found only for P5KPL-AM SE/EPU variety). |
