@Ali C.

I've used the Rosewill mentioned in the sig with OS X for ages but only occasionally, as it required me to shut off my computer and plug it in (3 IDE devices on a mobo with one IDE bus and SATA=fail by user). Now that I have a SATA drive…

Sadly I've been Googling and Googling for the NB/SB/LAN on this thing and haven't found diddly. It has a P4 processor in the 2GHz range. Anyway, here's the trouble. No matter how I set up the install, if I use iPC it completes, but when I…

I've been just living with this for a long while, figuring it was a normal symptom of the Hackintosh on AMD way. But now I figure I may as well ask like, perhaps a n00b. My install and practically every one before it (been so long since…

So I found a set of drivers you have to install with Pacifist to get going well in OS X awhile back (if there were a name on them I'd give it to you but all they read is "HD3650 Drivers", just like when I downloaded them). They worked…

Figured I may as well ask before I plop down 50 bucks and regret it a (tiny) bit. I'm looking at getting an HD 3650, but I've read mixed reports on how well it works with OS X. So now I ask, will it work? Or should I consider a different…

I opened AMD Patcher from a folder I have on my external drive. It tells me I need to update. So I try to update and get a really long Applescript error. Figure it got confused and Force Quits it. Now everything in the folder except for…

I picked up a copy of this game the other day (well, borrowed from a friend actually, good thing), fairly certain it would run reasonably well on my Hack. I should have Googled first. Anyway, I installed it, opened the folder, double click…

*FIXED! For now anyway* I fully updated my 10.5.5 and found no problems, except one that may have occurred after installing the Airport updates. Time Machine doesn't see my backup drive anymore, even though it's connected and working…

“OSx86 is a tagname, really. Most of the distros, including iPC (as far as I can tell) support 64-bit mode if your processor is capable and you can get a kernel that supports it.”

“OK. Try -x -v -f -legacy. (And by the way, the "please restart your computer message" is affectionately known as a kernel panic. No fun.) *ponders why it just freezes in -v and KPs otherwise*”

“NVInject could be conflicting somehow. Try booting with -x.”

“A LiveDVD and installer in one ISO? Now that's gotta be the best thing since sliced bread or Leopard distros. Thanks, pcwiz.”

“It never fails. No matter how easy the update is, I always manage to screw it up the first time. And all because I pressed "replace" instead of "update" in Pacifist. I was in a rush, hadn't used the app in awhile, and momentarily forgot the…”

“Trouble is, the command line trick only works for fullscreen resolutions. If you're stuck with a widescreen you're SOL. I got a happily humming, fully supported 3650 these days, but if something gets going with this I can always revert back…”

“Any word on how this is going? I'm going to end up needing a new video card soon. 4:3 on 16:9 monitor=me no likey. I'm hanging on to a thread of hope though.”

“OK, specs below... EDIT: Oye vey! I just read that the HD 3200 is actually *much* closer to the 3600 than the 2400.”

“Hmm, there's a DVI problem with the HD 2400 driver. And I tried that one (and put the device ID where instructed) and got no picture, even in VGA. Maybe it can be edited to work. *crosses fingers* EDIT: The "Radeon HD for AMD" package also …”

“A quick tip for you if it helps-Supposedly (I'm not 100% sure about it), the HD 3200 is a stripped down version of the HD 2400 PCIe card. If this is true, you may be able to use a 2400 driver as a starting point.”

“Can I drop in on the beta testing? HD 3200 on GA-MA78GM-S2H, also device ID 9610. Good luck. A lot of Gigabyte board owners will thank you, myself included.:)”

“Perhaps there's a wake-on-USB setting in your BIOS and it's messing with OS X sleeping? Just a thought. Try turning off any setting like that in your BIOS. Maybe that'll sort it. If I wanted to be mean I'd suggest it was because you were us…”

“I have to say it...second drive FTW. Installing Windows 7 was a piece of cake for my Hack for that very reason.”

“Unfortunately, I'd made a near-fatal mistake when I installed the update with Pacifist. I unselected one too many things, causing OS X to gawk and hang up instead of boot (curse you, BootCache!). Not wanting to dig up the lone, delicate ins…”

“The SATA drive came in. And it took me from a minute to boot OS X to 2 seconds. W00t. Anyway, I'm gonna install the update like Hara did. AFTER I use Carbon Copy Cloner on my partition of course.;)”

“This update's probably a piece of cake for Intel Hacks. And fair enough Hara. And AMD Software Update tripped on it, so I'm going to have to download the Vanilla version and manually patch it. Bleh lol.”

“Looks too easy. I'm downloading it now but I'll wait until my new hard drive comes in and clone my install, because like clockwork, the first time I install this OS update, it'll brick, no matter how easy it is. BTW, Hara Taiki, where can I…”

“I'd appreciate a copy of your package just in case I need to reinstall Kalyway. It would sure lessen the hassle. [email protected]”

“Yeah, that's pretty much how mine went. And no, Zeph's updater is unrelated to Marvin's utility. HOWEVER I did forget about the DSDT patcher. Post corrected. *facepalm* Sorry.”

“For anyone who hasn't been blessed with the aforementioned "update package" and has Kalyway 10.5.2 on an AMD... 1. Get the Voodoo kernel and install it using OSX86Tools or a similar utility 2. Get a copy of Disabler.kext and install it usin…”

“I'm on an AMD w/ Voodoo 9.5 Kernel and I am posting from 10.5.6. I downloaded and installed the Universal OSX86 Installer (ihackintosh.blog spot.com/2008/12/how-to-use-universal-osx86-installer.html) and selected Install PC_EFI v9. After th…”

“Great, just in time for Christmas... ASU spit back at me while patching the 10.5.6 installer. Is such patching needed or can I go unpatched with this one? EDIT: I also can't get Rapidshare to work right so I can't download PC_EFI V9...heeee…”

“I was referring to installing the kext after installing OS X if you already managed to. Thanks anyway. I tried an SB700-modified kext I found at InsanelyMac and now my computer is *way* faster.”

“Sorry for bumping this, but can you simply install the SB700 kext after installation? I'm thinking this could help me with some pokey hard drive loading issues.”

“Contrary to your belief, Chameleon can handle boot flags with no problem. With the latest RC release, which is GUI, you can select what partition to boot and type in the boot flags. The flags will appear on the bottom of the boot screen. No…”

“Too used to my Logitech mouse (an MX500 and now an LX8, both wireless) and Saitek Eclipse keyboard to part with either. If suddenly one day Eclipse keyboards ceased to exist on planet Earth, though, I'd probably just get a shiny new Apple k…”

“*sigh* With some kexts and some crossed fingers the older system would have been easier to get working than any proprietary system IMO. But then again I am biased with my 780G. A Pentium Dual Core eh? Try booting in -legacy for the time bei…”

“AFAIK Netflix's instant viewing feature only works in Windows. But I could be wrong.”

“This is a public service announcement -- AMD processors are identified as Intel Core Solo/Duo on purpose. Yes, indeedy, as I found out when trying to use OSX86Tools to change the readout and having nothing happen, then reading the bit of co…”

“Strange that yours is showing as an iMac...anywho... Did you disable the -legacy boot flag in Boot.plist? No crashes here but mine shows as an Intel Core Duo. Perhaps it didn't install correctly for you?”

“Even though I'm not getting the "Run in 32-bit mode" option, Geekbench declares my Hack is indeed running in 64-bit. So I take it that it is anyway. *cheers* EDIT: To confirm you're running in 64-bit mode, you have to "Get Info" on Chess.ap…”

“Yeah, I found a problem with Beta 2 and 10.5.2 where if my printer was turned on OS X would Kernel Panic. Works great for 10.5.5 though. Can't wait to try this update with 64-bit!:) Thanks, and keep up the good kernel work! And FYI Zephyrot…”

“Would I be stupid to say they might have borrowed some Chameleon 2 code for their little bootloader?”

“Whoa, what's going on? That link's throwing me a 404. I thought it was friendlier here but wasn't going to judge just because questions I ask there get ignored while here they get fair replies.”

“We could use more info, please. Mobo make, model? Other hardware in machine? What keyboard are you using? Is it USB or PS/2?”

“pcwiz, can you PM me the shell script? I'm considering a Snow install soon.”

“But I like mine in Slot 3! Seriously, though, good to know that wireless on this card can be had in Snow. It was one of my prime reasons for not taking the plunge yet, as I had my doubts it would.”

“Well 3.0 is OUT. Nice stuff. Of course Youtube wouldn't connect earlier but I just resynced and that fixed it. Seems there's a graphic bug or two though. :\”

“Geez, do I keep getting off lucky or what? The past two OS updates have reportedly caused ALC889a issues, yet all I do is reinstall the Taruga patch and it comes back just fine for me. So if the solution nexusmac posted doesn't fix the prob…”

“Not seeing the pic, dude. And Kalyway worked on my X2/SB700, but VERY slowly. It uses an old ToH kernel to boot on AMDs. Although a second copy of the same distro yields "still waiting for root device". Maybe I got a copy with a modified ke…”
