iatkos install fine but no booting back

i'll try that now, my point to think that it should work is that i have kaliway 10.5.1 working now and when i run:

kextstat | grep GMA

i got

80 0 0x20dbd000 0x36000 0x35000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelGMA950 (5.1.8) <78 72 17 12 6 5 4 2>

so that means to me that GMA driver works so, i thought that should work…

no, i haven't tried that, i even check now, i tried to update when i got kaliway 10.5.1 so a few months ago, and cause i've following the howto i found on the net and update still not working i dropped away, and wait until i can get an iatkos or leo4all hackintosh distro. ahh what was happens, i update to the not restart point, then change the line on the init/1 script to dsmos.kext and when reboot nothing the systems hangs itself...

so, now, i boot into 10.5.5
i erased these files from /System/Library/Extensions/

AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext AppleIntelGMA950.kext

and rename /System/Library/Extensions.mkext to /System/Library/Extensions.mkext.older so the system can't find it

the other issue i booted into here after try on the boot prompt with:

-f -v -x cpus=1 platform=x86pc

i didn't reboot yet but i don't wnat to have to do that every time i boot, and i haven't graphics kexts, how do i install it?, i can't find it on the DVD, and i haven't audio either.
ahh so many thanks. really i wouldn't do this alone

there's so many questions here, sorry but more help?

@erick2redno, i haven't tried that, i even check now, i tried to update when i got kaliway 10.5.1 so a few months ago, and cause i've following the howto i found on the net and update still not working i dropped away, and wait until i can get an iatkos or leo4all hackintosh distro. ahh what was happens, i update to the not restart point, then…

i saved those kexts from the DVD install before remove its and now when reinstall it with UInstaller (pcwiz utility) the system give the same issue and didn't load anything, now i will try installing the olds one to see what i get?

the other issue the same i still boot into with:

-f -x -v cpus=1 platform=x86pc

and got safe boot at the login window

i load my olds kexts from the kaliway and finally get 1028x1024, but still no audio, i'll gonna make search an still booting into "Safe boot" with

-f -x -v cpus=1 platform=x86pc

how can i skip this

i still don't know how to load the kext, and make a normal boot?
there is this other issue, i use the old kext from kaliway and get 1280x1024 but i can't get "Quartz Extreme" and in Kaliway i do have...
i would like your help about 10.5.5

now i'm updating with Zeph's ASU the old kaliway, maybe crash, i hope not

@nfoav8orIf I were in your shoes I would stick with the Kalyway 10.5.1 install DVD and update your system with the new Voodoo kernel manually. Then ensure you have AppleDecrypt.kext, Disabler.kext, and AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext files I've PM'd you as well as Chameleon. Then just update your system using single-system updates available from Apple's…

i just read your post, i got your files, updated the kernel, now i and load the kexts, now i'll reboot, wish me luck...

how do i update from apple updates, the old way?
remove PowerManagement kext and run the ComboUpd until restart option then rewrite intial/1 scripts?, this way?
thanks for all the help?

i installed the voodoo kernel and them nothing run: safari, kernel error, iChat, kernel error, Stickies, kernel error, i don't know

@nfoav8oris this only after putting the kexts and kernel in place? The voodoo kernel works with P4's. What kind of error is it? a Kernel Panic? next time you boot, add in the boot flag "debug=0x100" then let us know what the readouts are. Also, check the Console (located in your Utilities folder) for error messages and info on the kernel "errors".

you know that apple dialog box

App XX unexpectly quit. Ignore, Report, Relaunch

and in the Report field goes like this

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCES Exception Code: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE

i already booted the system with "-f debug=0x100" like u said but since i can't start Console app there is nothing about...

i'm writing u now cause at boot i loaded my old tohkernel, and then all apps works

@nfoav8orWell thats a little funky... How did you install the voodoo kernel in the first place? manually or via the installer? Oh well, you got it working again... I guess its better left alone then huh...

via the installer.
downloaded the DMG from xnu...
and then, double click on the installer

i patched a MacOSXUpdCombo.10.5.4 with AMD Patcher and will try with that...

@nfoav8orI thought you already got your system to 10.5.4. What happened?

nothing more that always happens, the system crash after push the restart button.

So now, i reinstall 10.5.5 cause i lost the kaliway installation and i'm trying to make it run without "Safe boot(-x)" bootloader option and trying to get graphics kexts working...

Right now i will reinstall 10.5.5 (iatkos) without selecting any graphics option, to see whats happens.

@milancaYes, smart decision to start from scratch. Do not select to install anything you are absolutely sure it is needed for your system. What is exactly your motherboard model number? Is it Asus P5GC? What's the model, and we'll start from there.

do i should select graphics update or not?

@nfoav8orI thought you already got your system to 10.5.4. What happened?

lost my kaliway install and the DVD for reinstall, so i installed 10.5.5 (iatkos) with the same options as before but without any graphics options, like before the system hangs, so with "-x" flag at boot created my account and installed gma950a.pkg from iatkos ISO and reboot. Again the same the system hangs telling something like

can't find any matching display family

so tried safe boot and logged in and now writing this.
Now i got 1208x1024 resolution (i setted at Display Prefpane) without load 950GMA kext at boot. this is what say "System Profiler" app in Graphics/Displays tab

still no audio and i don't know what else to do...

@nfoav8orSo in your first post and now your last post, you are saying the system thinks it has a GMA950 GPU in it... does it really? or is the option you selected above accurate? 950 and X3100 are not the same so I'm wondering why you were trying to do this. moving on... at least you can boot (even if it is only safe mode). Here's what I want…

what happens?
i followed wht u said and when rebooted, apple keep spinning until i got the grey box telling me i have to reboot, the i booted with -v and got this

panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0010... ) kernel trap at 0x00... type 14=page ...

so when i tell at boot "cpus=1" the it hangs but no show that last line
. so i tried with "-x" and still boot but…

like something curious i notice that in some point it says:

localhost: kextd: (/mach_kernel) doesnot match running kernel

what's next?

@nfoav8orSo in your first post and now your last post, you are saying the system thinks it has a GMA950 GPU in it... does it really? or is the option you selected above accurate? 950 and X3100 are not the same so I'm wondering why you were trying to do this. moving on... at least you can boot (even if it is only safe mode). Here's what I want…

answering what you said i check X3100 cause i don't know really well, but if those are drivers i thought then it could not harm anything,
and the other issue, yeah that my board, cause the pc it's identical, we didn't ordered at the same time cause that's not my situation but yeah i'm sure it the same, exactly the same...

more info: BIOSagent plus says this:

so any help again

@nfoav8orwell what I typed out above is assuming what you just verified. Have you tried it?

tried what?, i did what you said so what's now.

@nfoav8orwell what I typed out above is assuming what you just verified. Have you tried it?

hey, guys, what happens then?

boot up with -s and remove the video kexts that you installed from the DVD. reinstall them once you have a system that is running. The default graphics will work until then.

OR...

Erase and reinstall the OS only this time do everything BUT selecting the video options. Too many people expect a fully working system right after install. Hackintosh is about fiddling with your machine to get it to work instead of expecting it to.

worry about the video, audio, ethernet, etc. later. it can be fixed later. First get a working system from an initial install.

Well then it is probably hanging on the next step before the printout comes.

Why were you never able to update from your Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD?

I know the jump from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 was impeded by most hackintoshers because of EFI but what was your specific problem getting updated? Were you able to update at all above 10.5.1? Zeph's ASU allows for an Intel update... have you tried that?

If I were in your shoes I would stick with the Kalyway 10.5.1 install DVD and update your system with the new Voodoo kernel manually. Then ensure you have AppleDecrypt.kext, Disabler.kext, and AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext files I've PM'd you as well as Chameleon. Then just update your system using single-system updates available from Apple's download site until you get to 10.5.5 where you need to install the DSDT patch (I'd use the patch app made by PCWiz over at his site (pcwiz computer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=150&Itemid=48)) if I were you. Then you will be ready to update to 10.5.6 and fix your audio and video.

I thought you already got your system to 10.5.4. What happened?

Damn! erick2red you really have hard times getting your system working. Reading the posts I can't figure out the status of your installation, whats already installed and whats not, and whats working and what isn't. Please follow nfoav8or's suggestions so you can make your rig working; also post your actual system status. I will also try to help you get that rig running smoothly.

Yes, smart decision to start from scratch. Do not select to install anything you are absolutely sure it is needed for your system.

I don't think "identical" PC is the right way to put it because there could be some minor differences unless you ordered both at the exact same time to the exact same specs. For example, I've got a Dell Inspiron 531. but that was back when they were using AMD CPUs and some cheaper motherboard called the R201. They also sold Intel variants of the same model number (the Dell Inspiron 531). So we definitely need exact specs (or at least an exact model number of your motherboard so we can be sure we are giving you sound advice and not run-around answers that should work on a generic level. Please post anything you can (even if this means opening up the case to look at the motherboard). Thanks.

I'll try and help with the info you've given but then I'll have some more questions for you. I'll post in a few minutes after I do some more research for your specs.

@erick2redi posted my situation on trouble on iatkos 5i . Now i tried again changing installation options and this was what i selected and what i got: i select on customize this options PCI EFI v9 AppleDecrypt SMBIOS Enablers (all of them) Kernel: voodoo 9.5 ACPI: x86 ACPI Disabler kext Remove PowerManagent OHR Remove Thermal from drivers: VGA:…

So in your first post and now your last post, you are saying the system thinks it has a GMA950 GPU in it... does it really? or is the option you selected above accurate?

VGA: Graphics Update GMA 950b X3100 EFI string for ...

950 and X3100 are not the same so I'm wondering why you were trying to do this.

moving on... at least you can boot (even if it is only safe mode).

Here's what I want you to do. You're going to delete the video kexts so the system uses a generic driver. Then we will adjust it as necessary later.

I know you didn't install any video drivers/kexts/EFI strings in this latest install but the system still installs its generic variants of them.

boot with -s

/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -Rf GeForce*
rm -Rf NVDA*
rm -Rf ATI*
rm -Rf NVinject*
rm -Rf AppleIntelGMA*
cd ..
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
reboot

now it should boot normally (not in safe mode) but without proper graphics, this is an issue we will fix shortly. Let me know how it is coming along.

well what I typed out above is assuming what you just verified. Have you tried it?
