I installed iDeneb v1.5 and LITE version and iATKOSv7 on; Biostar TP45HP E8400 ASUS HD4850 installed successful but upon boot it is stuck at the logo. For troubleshooting, I tried replacing the video card with an nVIDIA card, tried…

Successful install... Biostar 790GX X2 550BE GTS250 Maxtor HDD Leo4All AMD only 10.5.4 But it won't boot without the DVD in the tray. How can I fix that? Also, resolution is only at 1024x768, how do I properly install a kext for my card so…

Hardware Biostar TP45HP E8400 2 GB Ballistix 7900GS After updating to newer BIOS, Leopard will not boot anymore without KP. Reinstalled and installed Chameleon again, KP again except using BootThink that came with iATKOS. So today I…

Hardware; Biostar 790GX 128M X2 550BE Sound is working with Leopard using VoodooHDA. Upon successful SL install sound is distorted. Installed very single voodooHDA kext to no avail. Today, I thought of installing a sound card to see if it…

“Successfully updated to 10.6.2. I patched the installer first using Zephyroth's AMD patcher.”

“hi, i installed snow leopard on 3 different ways now and everytime i get the same result: after restarting my screen is black and my keyboard turn off. so any ideas how to fix this problem? do i need any special kext for my mainboard? Make …”

“Biostar 790GX GTS250 X2 550BE unlocked 4 gigs ram I got it installed but no audio. I installed voodooHDA.kext to extra/extension folder, sound came on but very garbled. Installed same kext using kext helper, same result. I cannot get the DS…”

“Installed and now replying using SL. Audio is still something to be desired (garbled) and still working on it.”

“I tried installing on; Biostar 790GX GTS250 X2 550BE unlocked 4 gigs ram and it would just sit in a gray screen after getting out of verbose.. Will keep trying.”

“I went with this thread to get my sound working. Download and install one by one using kext helper. Reboot after installing a kext. hack int0sh.org/f180/61384.htm I hope it works for you.”

“I got ATI 4850 working using EFI string. Where did you get the hd4850 EFI string?”

“did you install it to a separate drive? did you choose an bootloader when you customized your install? If your answer is yes and no, just leave your DVD in the tray and boot but do not press anything when asked if you want to boot the dvd. …”

“Leo4All 4.1 AMD only kernel? I used other distros to install on my rig and it would just panic right away, but with that was smooth.”

“First, try to boot with -x flag. If that didn't work try another distro, I'd suggest Leo4All v4.1. That's the only distro that ever installed on my 790GX.”

“Even without DSDT, after installing Chameleon v2 rc2, it won't boot anymore. I will play with it again sometime today.”

“The long boot was actually caused by the ATI HD4850. I replaced the GPU with 7900GS and never had a failed boot again. Unfortunately, after updating the BIOS, iATKOS install was nuked. Reinstalled but it won't work with Chameleon v2bootload…”

“It actually boots to desktop but takes longer. I just let it do its thing and it booted to desktop in maybe 5-7 minutes.”

“It is working great except for there are times that I need to reboot/restart the rig 2-3 times to get to desktop. It will show the blue screen a little offset from the middle of the screen which tells me it will not boot to desktop.”

“Both cores are now working. I had to install chameleon first and run the DSDT. CPU speed is not correct though, showing 2.07 but it should be 3 GHZ (E8400).”

“Chameleon screwed the install. I can't seem to get F8 to work with Chameleon, I pressed F8 as soon as my mobo logo came on up to boot option GUI but no go. Is there a trick to do it or it is not supported? I will try the cpus=x next time an…”

“DSDT GUI with New HPET option didn't fix it. I am using a bootloader other than EFI and Chameleon, I wonder if that's why it didn't work. I will try with Chameleon.”

“SUCCESS! Reinstalled with Appleps/2.kext, extracted cpus=1 fix from iDeneb and she is working. Finally got it working.”

“I think I made a little progress. With iATKOS v7 Vanilla Kernel, very minimal drivers, if I boot with -v -x cpus=1 it will take me to "no keyboard connected" although keyboard is lit. Maybe a PS/2 kext is the fix. If I boot with -v cpus=1 I…”

“I spent half of my day yesterday trying to install on this rig but it seems it is just incompatible with hackintosh. I've tried installing iATKOS with IDE instead of AHCI in the bios, it will finish installing but upon first boot kernel pan…”

“I reinstalled iATKOS and chose a different bootloader and I was able to do F8 and -v. Here is where it is stuck,”

“I can't even boot to OSX hence I can't edit com.apple.boot.plist.”

“add a timeout string to the boot.plist then boot with -v Thank you for replying. How do I exactly do that?”

“Fiddle in the BIOS again and set your OSX HDD to boot first. If you have Chameleon in there it usually ask you which OS you would like to boot.”

“Make sure you select your MAC hdd to boot first. Make sure you installed one of the bootloaders from the install. When booting after successful install, try -v cpus=1. If that didn't work add -x.”

“Yes. soft pedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml”

“FIXED. I was able to extract the 9.8 System.kext from the 10.5.8 update and installed Seatbelt.kext for it.”

“My kernel is 9.2, there is no seatbelt fix for that version. Can I upgrade my kernel and system kext and get the appropriate seatbelt.kext? EDIT: My system.kext was 9.8 before I went back to 9.2 thinking it will be fixed that way and forgot…”

“Another problem occurred after updating to 10.5.6, it cannot mount .dmg files anymore as it asks to be restarted every time. Same result using Pacifist. I have matched my Darwin version and System.kext version but problem still persist.”

“I had the headset connected on boot and, VOILA, it was there and SKYPE doesn't crash anymore.”

“I have a Microsoft LX-3000 USB headset and it doesn't work when plugged in. The volume control and mute button works though. I tried using it with SKYPE and I only hear sound coming from speakers and not from headset. Also, SKYPE keeps cras…”

“Updated to 10.5.5 using Zephyroth's AMD patcher and it is running good. I have options now for video resolution. Thank you very much for the tip.”

“Thank you very much. I won't be able to try these as I am working for the next few days. I will let you know the result.”

“Thanks. I am running Darwin. Also, can you give me instructions on how to update my version to 10.5.8? I have iDeneb combo update and I am not sure if it will work properly as I've heard it is not ideal to update from .4 to .8 directly. You…”

“Do you mind giving me instructions on how to do that?”

“What should I be looking for? There are version and info plist, either one doesn't match what the terminal says. From Terminal, Darwin kernel v. 9.2 From version.plist, CFBundleVersion 9.4 Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Highly a…”

“Resolution is fixed by using this; pcwiz computer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=32 I just found out USB aren't working but my keyboard and mouse are USB but when I connect my flash drive it doesn't detect it.”

“That worked. Never thought it would be a simple fix. I just installed RC2 since it is auto install and works like a charm. Any ideas how to get the proper resolution working? I tried editing the string and now it is stuck at the Apple logo …”

“Thanks for replying. If the DVD is not in the tray it will just reboot constantly. The only way to boot it properly is with the DVD in the tray and wait. Successful all the time but I would like to boot it with just the HDD so I can have a …”

“Download the update and patch it using Zephyroth's AMD patcher.”
