Does anyone else have the Q9550 working?

Hi SportsGuy
I have the same exact settings but I am not using the onboard video (HDMI). However, if you get it to work I will certainly get an HDMI DVI adapter. I had a similiar problem as you in regards to the boot loop. If you haven't already done so, when you get to the boot screen, type in -v cpus=1. I have seen people say to type in cpus=1 but not the combination I just provided. I was able to load iPC just fine. Problem that I am having now is determining the appropriate things to install. Per wiki (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...0.5.6/Desktops) the following should be installed for a Studi 540 using iPC:
Dell Studio 540
This computer had a Nvidia 9500 GT Graphics card, not the built in video. I am not sure what is needed for the built-in video chipset. This guide was written using a Studio 540: OSX Leopard 10.5.6 Installation Guide For Complete Beginners Here is the problem, they don't use the onboard video card (HDMI, I am not talking about the VGA). Hopefully what I provided helped and I can use your results assuming you acheive success. Please update us. |
I have seen that, and tried all of that, many times, actually. I still can't get it to boot up from chameleon, and can't get any drivers working. I feel as I should just give it all up.

Darn, I was hoping that easy fix would have taken care of it. Are you using iPC? Maybe you can try using a different boot OSX.

Make sure you're putting the dsdt.aml in the root of Extra
You should use this app instead of the pcwiz patcher. It has many more dsdt fixes and options, downside is you will need to run it from windows. :( |
This thread hasn't gone anywhere so I thought I would add to it with hopes that someone can provide some asistance based on the stage I am at:
Memory (RAM): 8191 MB CPU Info: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz CPU Speed: 2335.5 MHz Sound card: Speakers (High Definition Audio Display Adapters: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Network Adapters: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E GBE NIC CD / DVD Drives: D: PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S USB Controllers: 10 host controllers. Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0M017G With the -v cpus=1 command I can boot off of the DVD just fine. I then install the following drivers per OSx86 Wiki (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...ell_Studio_540): iPC 10.5.6 Universal Final Kernel: 9.5.0 voodoo Chipset: LegacyAppleIntelPIIATA Audio: Azalia Audio Package CPUS=1 boot flag fix LAN: Realtek R1000 Driver I even have the Nvidia 9500GT Video card as indicated within the above link. For this, I have installed NVinject 0.2.1 1024MB VRAM and NVdarwin 1024MB with the same results which are noted below. Everything installs just fine and when it restarts, I boot off of the installed hard drive using the following command: -v -f I then get hung up on "Still waiting for root device." I have not made any adjustments in my BIOs. Any body have any tips or hints. I just read somewhere that you install the 9.5.0 voodoo kernal, you must also install a seatbeat 10.5.5.kext which I am about to try next. |
I still haven't gotten anywhere either. I am still trying many things, though.

i installed the new iatkos and i still cant get anything to work...

Hey SportsGuy,
It is good to see you are still trying. A couple of days ago I got iPC running using the following settings: iPC 10.5.6 Universal Final Kernel: 9.5.0 voodoo Video Drivers: Nvinject 0.2.1 1024 VRAM Chipset: Intel ICH10 SATA Support Audio: Can't get sound to work and don't know what driver to install Ethernet Drivers: Realtek R1000 USB Drivers: Patched USB Drivers Fixes and Patches: - ACPI Fix - CPUS=1 boot flag fix - IOPCI Family.kext patched - Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 - USB Mount Fix It started to boot up and it would not reconize my USB connections on the motherboard, even thought I installed USB patches. I do have a USB PCI card so it reconzied this and I was able to install. Once installed, I didn't have an optical drive, audio or USB connections. I must say, it was nice to finally get into the OS after working on this so much for three weeks. I restarted the computer and I had a kernal panic which prevented me from getting back in. I was so close yet so far. Anyway, I have also tried the newest iAtkos with no luck. There is a guide out there that people have had success with: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...p/t140591.html I am going to try this again for the older version of iAtkos, 5i. I will post back with any positive results. You do the same. Keep chugging SportsGuy, we will get this. Oh yeah, you have made sure to set your "Integrated Perifial" as ATA not RAID, right? I don't think you can get it going on RAID. |
try this
You need to boot into OS X (which works currently with only 1 core active) and run fassl's DSDT Patcher to generate a patched dsdt.aml file....
A Terminal window will open......press any key to continue.....when you see CODE Which OS to emulate? [0=Darwin,1=WinXP, 2=WinVista] choose 0 to emulate Darwin...... The dsdt.aml file you generate will be placed in the DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e directory/folder and should be renamed to DSDT.aml and then copied to the /Extra directory that you will see after installing Chameleon 2.0RC1 using the Chameleon 2.0 RC1 installer...... There is no risk to your BIOS AFAIK because the Chameleon bootloader loads the modded DSDT.aml file in the boot directory i.e. / directory over the DSDT file loaded from the BIOS..... go in to the extray folder created by chameleon bootloader and the com.apple.Boot.plist open it with textmate and where you see make it say 4 if it does not cpus=4 this should fix every thing |
