Has anyone had any success with the nForce chipsets? I've got an eVGA 780i board and so far haven't had much luck; previously seemed to stall after it loads the LAN kext, now stalls on, 'AppleNForceATA: Found 0 units'. Note: I'm using an…

I installed with a retail DVD following some instructions on LifeHacker with relative ease. Everything works except sound. Has anyone gotten sound to work? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate any help.…

So I've recently set up a new Hackintosh and everything is running nicely. I choose to use the GA-EP45T-USB3P this time around because of the better support for the chipsets. I haven't regretted it. Things actually work like they're…

“PC EFI10v1 and v2 both fixed this problem for me. (The pictured KP.)”

“All right, let me zip the app for you and attach it here. (Upload is limited to 1.5MiB so here's a link --> data.iuk koth.net/EFIStudio.zip)”

“Great, ty, I'll test it after I reinstall 10.6, I have too many errors, and would like to know how to make an EFI string for my 9800GX2 If you'd like I can also post the app I used to make the EFI string for my card. I'm not sure if the 980…”

“Haha, I feel compelled to share a screen! media.iuk koth.net/images/sl.png”

“I'm glad it worked out for you. Now, what video card do you have? and can you post that VoodooHDA? I'm using an EVGA 8800GTS. And yes, let me upload the VoodooHDA.kext. Remember to remove "AppleHDA.kext" before installing the VoodooHDA.kext…”

“No problem, just ask if you need anything else, classes are a bit dry of homework right now [luck me], I should be able to answer whenever. Hello from Snow Leopard! Yes that's right, it's working.^^ So far I have tested: Internet (check, wo…”

“SquidLord, thank you for taking the time to detail the install procedure! I'm in the middle of moving to a new house so once I'm moved in I'll follow your guide and report back here. Thanks again!”

“It appears that, 'AppleNForceATA: found 0 units.' may not be the problem after all: I'm currently stalled trying to boot on my Snow Leopard disk with the following error: 'dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dyl…”

“I have my 780i board working with ethernet and sata using the vanilla kernel and the "PC EFI 10.1.pkg" as the loader. Works well, except my graphics issue, and now this weird kernel panic referencing "warmd" What kernel extensions are you u…”

“What kernel are you using I'm using the 32-bit kernel, booting with "arch=i386".”

“ok i will i try to install the retail osx and start playing with everything fresh give me couple minutes;) i had the beta before All right. Great! Let me know how it goes.”

“I'm having the same problems with a Nforce 680i alexdr1, can you post here what kernel extensions you are attempting to boot with and what happens when you try to boot? Thanks!”

“All right, it appears yet again the nForce x80i series (I'm guessing, 680i, 780i, and 790i) are not working; I'm guessing it's the SATA issue...”

“I got AppleNForceATA.kext in /Extra and the patched ioatafamily.kext to fix make boot time faster. Any chance you could send me your AppleNForceATA.kext? I'm using an old one from my Leo install and seems to not want to work. (Stalls with A…”

“Yeah noforce works on Snow Leopard, it works on Dell Inspiron 531, with an mcp61 nforce 4 chipset. Sweet! Can you give me a rundown of the modified kexts you're using? Are you using AppleNForceATA for example?”

“I'm wondering how to change my CPU name? Is it possible? See this picture: media.iuk koth.net/images/sl.png Now it reports as "Unknown" (as shown in the screen)”

“I'll have to try this but I'm reluctant to go through the process. So far everything seems stable, but I have the same issue with Disk Utility so soon I'll have to create another partition and give this a shot. Thanks for the posts!”

“Intall over the first installation of Snow Leopard?”

“that's the point like i said a few posts before. therefore the need for a complete 64bit os is not exactly too great. i'm even running 10.6 in 32bit mode Same here and I'd consider myself a "pro" user, meaning that I'm using my system for d…”

“Windows 32-bit is limited to something like 2.7[some specific decimal]GB of RAM, but in the "About this MAC" window, in Leopard, it does say 6GB for me and my 6GB of RAM. My understanding is that an app that is running in 32-bit mode is lim…”

“yup all well. hi theta: i see your configuration...780/8800GTS what driver, are you using for your video card 8800GTS. do you no if anyone has a patch for asus rampage extreme x48 board, check out my last post about the update, a pics of AH…”

“Great! Just tried this out. I can confirm it works in 10.6.5!”

“I usually am not too bad at doing these sort of things fairly quick. I had Snow Leopard installed on ep45-ud3p board, but it was dying and there were no replacements with as good of specs, that I "thought" would be similar or the same, and …”

“VoodooHDA finally resolved the issue after some work. I had to remove all HDA "enablers" from the Extensions/Extra folder and instead install VoodooHDA into /S/L/E... Not sure why it doesn't work with the DSDT patch and relevant kexts but i…”

“All systems go here!”
