OSX on asus notebook
Hello guys,
i tried to install iPC 10.5.6 on my asus k50IN laptop but after install it doesnt want to boot. i have tried every switch there is and i can boot the installer only with cpus=1. Do i need a modified bios from kabyl for it to work? cause the asus motherboard i have at home needed bios mod from juzzi to boot osx. thanks in advance Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400 2.0 GHz, FSB 800Hz, 2M L2 Cache 15.6" WXGA (HD) 1366x768 pixel, LED-Backlight Nvidia nForce 730i NVIDIA GeForce G 102M - 512 MB, Core: 450 MHz, Memory: 1600 MHz, Shader clock: 1100 MHz 4096 MB, DDR2-800Mhz Hitachi HTS543232L9A, 320GB 5400rpm Realtek ALC662 Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Gigabit Ethernet Atheros AR9285 IEEE 802.11n cheers MSI P5Q / C2D E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz / 8GB DDR2 800Mhz / PCIe ECS 9600GT 1Gb / ALC1200 / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 ASUS K50IN (SX004L) / C2D T6400 @ 2.0 Ghz / 4GB DDR2 800Mhz / nVidia G102M 512Mb / 15.6" HD/LED / ALC662 / Dell 1490 802.11g / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 |

Try to select the following at iPC Customization:
Patch DSDT with NewHPET Chameleon with SMBIOS / DSDT and see if that gets you rid of cpus=1 usage on installed system. AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail

ok will try that. anyway i got it installed, without the dsdt patch, i was wondering if that is needed for the cpus=1 option to be gone? also i have no luck with the graphic card and wifi sofar... Nvidia geforce g102m 512 vram and atheros wifi. if you have any suggestions i would be glad to hear them

I would try 9400(M) Efi Strings for your graphicscard.

hello,
thanks for the answer, i tryed and installed iAtkos v7 and things are going ok, no cpus=1 this time except of of the two problems i had with the wifi and graphic now i have a third one which is audio that works with voodoohda but the sound is choppy and terrible. the codec is ALC662 and i have tried just about anything but it doesnt work except for the voodoo driver. any help on the efi string from 9400M and device id would be nice, `(or on the other subjects) cause i have tried efi strings for my card but no can do. thanks in advance, cheers MSI P5Q / C2D E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz / 8GB DDR2 800Mhz / PCIe ECS 9600GT 1Gb / ALC1200 / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 ASUS K50IN (SX004L) / C2D T6400 @ 2.0 Ghz / 4GB DDR2 800Mhz / nVidia G102M 512Mb / 15.6" HD/LED / ALC662 / Dell 1490 802.11g / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 |

OK, tried everything but still no go Sound works with VoodooHDA only, the graphic card only shows at boot time with NVInjectGo, but it doesnt boot to desktop...WiFi is understandably not there because there are no drivers for it yet i think...Cheers
*UPDATE Installed 10.5.8 no problem made efi string for the graphic card in OSX86Tools and i have my card recognized but no core image end no quartz extreme, just quartzgl and resolution of 1024x768. *UPDATE II Tried and installed snow leo but still have problems with the graphic card, cannot boot into intro video...if anyone has any kind of solution for the graphic either leo or snow leo, please post MSI P5Q / C2D E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz / 8GB DDR2 800Mhz / PCIe ECS 9600GT 1Gb / ALC1200 / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 ASUS K50IN (SX004L) / C2D T6400 @ 2.0 Ghz / 4GB DDR2 800Mhz / nVidia G102M 512Mb / 15.6" HD/LED / ALC662 / Dell 1490 802.11g / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 Last edited by flip360; 09-06-2009 at 02:22 AM. |

made this installer on 8Gb USB and installed snow leo on GUID partition. after that just add NVEnabler and you have QE/CI. the audio and wifi still dont work i hope for a solution for the audio (voodoohda is not working properly at the moment) in a not so distant future it also updates to 10.6.1, just be sure and put NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in /Extra/Extensions to boot as for the wifi there is no kext still the only solution is to replace the card with anotherone that is known to work cheers 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
