@flip360: thanks.. I am downloading 10.6.5 update right now, will try it soon. One more question: does Sleep work?

Hi,
just updated at 10.6.5. Old AppleHDA used for audio (new not funct with audio). New fakesmc.kext used but fail cpu meter with iStat, for example. Why?

Regards.

Nino

@yuanlukito: Sleep works, but the sound is lost after coming back from sleep, also not too sure about the restart/reboot either. I think we need a patched audio kext for that, i will look around my disk :)
@ninoger: I changed a kext inside plugins that is newer and should support intel thermal reading along with everything else, havent tested it though, will do when i have more free time ;)

Hi,
for me result incompatible at boot log with -v option: org.mozodojo.FakeSMCIntelMonitor with version 2.7 of fakesmc.kext.

But update 10.6.5 is ok here, with old kext (fakesmc and AppleHDA). Ciao

Hi guys!

10.6.5 works for me, but I've lost audio kext from 10.6.3 to resume audio, actually not working...

Could you please post the working audio kext for 10.6.5? Thanks!!!!!!

google it, vanilla AppleHDA 10.6.3 ;)

Hi guys, I'm new on this forum and I have some questions..

I have the Asus k50in and I want to try to install Mac Os on it, but after I make the boot with cd boot v2 and insert the Snow dvd, after 2 minute I have a message..

Still waiting for root device.

What I can do to succeed in this installation..??

excuse my english..

thanks Flip360, you are always a reference!! Found and working! Sometimes answers are there and dummies like me can't see them!!

This topic is the best in Hackintosh scene.

haha, no problemo, i am glad to be of assistance, about the topic, i DO believe that K40/K50 notebooks are the best hackintosh replacement.

cheers

Problem with Sound
 

Thanks guy. I had used your DSDT (first) for my K40IN
CPU T6600, 14" HD Led, Atheros 9285 wifi card, HDD 320Gb, 2Gb DDR2,..-Snow Leopard 10.6.4
My problem is sound. It disable. Can you help me,please? I tried rool back AppleHDA.kext but not successful. Should i add ALC666 kext?
My kext in Extra folder:
AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext
AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
AsusK50IN.kext
fakeSmc.kext
IO80211Family.kext
Thanks your help. And Could you tell me more detail about connecting with wifi (atheros 9285)?
:D
Waiting for response

Hey guys ... I'm glad that we have WIFI right out of the box now! :D

But I have a small question for the curious ... do you guys think that it's possible to upgrade the CPU for these K50IN based computers? I'm having the X5DIN, with a P7450 and I want to upgrade it to P8xxx or P9xxx because I want to use Hardware virtualization.

I mean, I want to use Parallels for Mac, which requires VT-x on the CPU. Tell me what you guys think ... :)

Hey guys...i finally found a solution to make clean bootwithout sound assertion errors...i took into ioreg from MacBookPro 5,5 ( i know that the Asus K70IO uses MCP79 chipset and is the same hardware that the MacBookPro 5,1).

Just under device (HDEF) add:

"CodecAddressMask",
Buffer (One)
{
0x01
}

and compile....without thiss addon sound assertion is given. so final hdef in asus notebook will be:


Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x0A)
{
"built-in",
Buffer (One)
{
0x00
},

"codec-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x62, 0x06, 0xEC, 0x10
},

"CodecAddressMask",
Buffer (One)
{
0x01
},

"layout-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
},

"PinConfigurations",
Buffer (0x20)
{
0x50, 0x40, 0x2b, 0x01,
0x41, 0x01, 0x10, 0x90,
0x40, 0x01, 0x10, 0x90,
0x20, 0x30, 0x8b, 0x01,
0x10, 0x01, 0xa0, 0x90,
0x30, 0xe0, 0xcb, 0x01,
0x60, 0xe0, 0x4b, 0x01,
0x70, 0x90, 0xab, 0x01
}
}, Local0)
DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
Return (Local0)
}
}

NOTE: PinConfigurations are from Linux Pin COnfig and are for other audio codec different.. i have ALC662.

Not i must study how to get all info from K50IN.kextto dsdt to use without this dummy kext and all to go.

Please try this and post your results...

DSDT is the great..for hackintosh..:)))

P.S: Does anybody know under what section i put dsdt injection for AR9285 into DSDT?

Hello...i have successfully enabled audio on my Asus K70IO notebook, ALC662 audio codec via DSDT. I have no sound assertions errors, all is working perfect.But i have one issue that i dont know how to fix.

if i boot into 64-bit mode...audio is working, but after 30seconds when i dont play music every 5seconds i hear click from speakers, so i think when after 30seconds user dont play any audio applehdacontroller goes to sleep and then checks ever 5seconds if is any music active and get click every 5 seconds. how to fix that? any clue or idea?

If i boot into 32-bit mode all is working perfect without click issue..so i want to use 64-bit mode...where to start begin to search?

i have snow leopard 10.6.5 retail. using dsdt patch for HDAC and HDEF injection and AsusK50IN legacy kext.

P.S: nobody is posting here...is this forum dead?

I don't know... It's kinda weird.

i think the reason nobody is posting is that we have reached full compatibility with OSX and just wait for the next update :) Maybe things change with 10.7 but i doubt it will ;)

Hi, guys! Thanks to you all I've managed to install the Mac OS X 10.6.3 iAtkos S3.v2 distro to my Asus K50IN laptop. Here's the problem - I've got everything working except the sound and the trackpad. I've tried to fix the sound problem, but I got kernel panic - I've added the Asusk50in.kext and HDAenabler.kext in /Extra/Extensions folder and replaced the AppleHDA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and it F@#%ed up. What am I doing wrong? I'm relatively new to hackintosh, tried a million times with my desktop and didn't got it working right! Now I'm few steps away from the perfect Hackintosh and I really need your help!

OK, since my last post I've got everything working besides the external VGA output! Help needed again - I use Natit driver, but I don't know what EFI string should I use during install?

Dunno abot Natit i use chameleon graphic enabler these days ;)

cant get ASUSk50IN sx270x to work
 

Hi everyone this is a brilliant thread and i have read through it but cant seem to find a solution. I must be doing something completely wrong!!

only Asus K50IN boot cv V2 will boot to chameleon, v1/1.1/iboot, do not load maybe im burning them to the disk incorrectly i dont think i am though, the boot cd V2 will load to chameleon press f5 and all that, it gets to loading darwin gets stuck a little bit but keeps going then when it is supposed to start loading the graphic interface, the screen goes all solid colour and flashing ocasionally changing colour much like a disco. and thats it.

i have updated my bios and even tried changing the com.boot.apple.plist thing in the boot V2 cd, which (before i had altered it) worked into chameleon every time, but now when i try and change something like altering the plist file adding or taking away a kext (i tried to get it working by changing the graphics enabler, swapping out the nvenabler for nvenabler64) it doesnt boot into chameleon at all!!. ive pretty much tried everything i can, over and over again, and i cant seem to be able to boot from usb either but i still have burnable cd's so i dont care. what in hell am i doing wrong??

from reading this forum it should be working perfectly! and im normally quite good with computers
any help would be increadibly appreciated!!!!!

bios 222
core 2 due t6670
4gb ram
nvidia 102m

who have tried 10.6.6 update ?

installed 10.6.6. everything is ok but my trackpad seem like crazy...i don't care bout it as i use external Apple mouse and keyboard. but if anyone know why?

the update come with the new apps store. :)

Hi,
update at 10.6.6. Ok all, also trackpad et al. K50IN always very very wonderful hackintosh!!

Ciao

Anybody know how to fix the crazy trackpad?

cant anyone help me (problem listed above)

maybe you should try to use iboot. it happened to me too when i use the Asus Boot CD v2. but later on, i try to boot using the iboot. i managed to install SL using "-x" .

figured out

Finally, dual boot is now working on my K40in. Snow Leo 10.6.6 and WIndows7 x64 ultimate....

figured out

Hello all members!
I need help, I have a notebook ASUS Intel K50 IN color duo, nvidia GeForce G102M.
At that already searched the forum there are those who have this graphics card running at 100%.
I installed this notbook S3 iAtkos 10.6.3. funcionase could never get well.
I upgraded to 10.6.6 with the 10.6.5 kernel. 64b running in this
everything is going well, I lack an addition to the graphics card.
By Kext nitit that could have graphics acceleration.
But I identify with the same 256mb to 512mb.
Also installed the NVEnabler 64.kext. Utility and run the Kext is just 512mb to identify correctly, the problem is that when Renicio the system, I get the apple on the screen and can not enter the system but this shows me not only hasten the desktop or table.
I thank you.
any help is welcome. :(

PS: Sorry for my English,

Hello all,

i installed succesfully to 10.6.6, just remember to replace the AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.3 ;)

@gagibug: i think you should try the vanilla install method described on the first page, i personally use chameleon`s graphic enabler.

solved now

how did you get sound working?

@hoffbrandm: Look at page 10-11! There you'll find everything! When I get back home, I'll post the S/L/E and E/E folders that worked for my Asus K50IN!

@flip360: How do you update, can you tell me, because I want to update but I don't want to mess up my instalation!

ok i seem to be missing something could someone please right down precisely (i have tried to follow the forums instructions) about how to install retail 10.6.3. using Man of the Oaks extra and s/l/e files, and IO80211Family.kext.

PS does it matter that i cant boot into that partition, i have to use iboot... starting up the computer leads to 'no operating system found' or just the flashing underscore. if it is a problem is there a way of changing the bootable partition, bios changes it i think? or something like that, or perhaps is that the problem at all? should i just delete the windows partition and figure out how to dual boot a different way?




i deleted the windows partition and started like that, then it worked, being able to boot up from its own partition..

but now i want to install windows and keep mac osx partition active?!

I would like to say sorry because of many non-answered PMs! It seems that I had notifications turned off... if my help is still needed, please contact with me at my e-mail address: man_of_the_oak[at]hotmail.com

Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
 

Hi people, i need a help. Last two days im trying to built hackintosh :(leopard) on my k50in notebook.
First i tried to built it with ideneb 10.5.6, and i got a message

Mac framework successfully initialized
Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers. And i know that snow leo have a better solutions for this problem. So Im downloading version 10.6 by hazard, and hope that you will be my guide trough setup process, I just want to know how to avoid this problem.

Help!

you download the 10.6.6 combo installer from apple and install it :)

Get a retail DVD and read my tutorial a few pages earlier. Good luck!

PS I should start killing people for using shitty distros on such a compatible hardware :]

true, man_of_the_oak :)

EDIT

Eventually having trialled and errored for a very long time, i now have a very almost working hackbook. minus perfect sound (only a small clicking noise) webcam is upsidedown, and now sleep.

in my efforts to try and create a dual booter, ive left 100gb free as fat32 so i can figure out how to install windows later.

list of how i did it
boot with iboot
insert mac osx 10.6.3 and boot with -x
install
install chameleon
run kext (dont input password)
update to 10.6.4
put S/L/E and E/E from Man_Of_the_Oak's 'backup file'
i changed dsdt.aml to DSDT.aml just to be safe not that it might make a difference
add IO80211family kext
add nullcpumanagment kext
restart
update to 10.6.5 replacing with fakesmc from flip360 into S/L/E and reinserting nullcpu and apple hda from MOTO
kext utility and repair permissions
restart, same thing with 10.6.6


so i have a working hackbook, and i have a spare 100gb partition in fat32! fun fun
but i want that to be windows so if anyone can give me a hand? I want to install windows 7 into that partition, then make mac the default boot partition, so i am able to use the bootloader in chameleon to access windows 7 if i so please. so how do i change the active partition when ive installed windows? should i have done it the ther way round and install windows first?

although ive managed to get this far through trial and error now that ive got it working i would prefer some expertice on the matter of partitions and installing windows!

Sleep solution anyone?
web cam solution anyone?


Kind regards

After installing Snow Leopard, can I directly update to 10.6.4?

Heya All,

I've been running 10.6.2 on my Asus K60IN since October of 2009. Back then we had the retail disc and a series of kext's to get everything running. I was just wondering if I can update directly from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6 without many issues. From what I've read, all I really need to do is backup my AppleHDA kext and reinstall it after the update. Lastly, should I download the update from the update manager in OSX?

Cheers

Ryan

Okay, updated, restarted and it failed to boot.

1. First error message was the sound issue, no worries, booted into safe mode and installed appleHDA.kext

2. Still doesn't boot. Looked at it again with -v and it looks like it hangs just after NVEnabler runs. Boot into single user mode, and remove NVEnabler 64.kext from S/L/E

3. System now boots to desktop, but only 1024x768 resolution. If I change GraphicsEnabler to yes in com.apple.boot.plist, system still hangs.

4. Tried man_of_the_oak's extra's and extensions...boot screen is correct 1366x768 but hangs at: "acpi_smc_platformplugin::registerlpcdriver-failed to locate smc driver"

No idea what to try now....any ideas?

anyone got a solution for enabling sleep in 10.6.6??
