i tried to install iPC 10.5.6 on my asus k50IN laptop but after install it doesnt want to boot. i have tried every switch there is and i can boot the installer only with cpus=1. Do i need a modified bios from kabyl for it to work? cause…

first of i would like to say thanks to all the osx86 community for doing a fine job for us noobs and unlocking osx for pc`s anyway i have a notebook (signature) which is working fine on OSX 10.6 but has an Atheros AR9285 wifi card that…

after a few weeks of installing and reinstalling i finaly have full resolution with QE/CI working but only in 32bit mode i think Among other things there is the Atheros WiFi that doesnt have a kext, so i was wondering if i could install…

i would like your opinion on this piece of hardware i am going to get: ASUS K50IN Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400 2.0 GHz, FSB 800Hz, 2M L2 Cache 15.6" WXGA (HD) 1366x768 pixel, LED-Backlight Nvidia nForce 730i NVIDIA GeForce G 102M -…

“i have the P5Q and i must say its an excellent board and iPC is working alright on it..just the audio is not working with the provided kext which is strange (@ ~pcwiz i tried a fresh install with the kext provided on the dvd but it didnt wo…”

“I have my QE/CI enabled through chameleon graphic enabler, some people have theirs enabled through another enabler and as for the audio, that one is solved thanks to Clubber77 and his AsusK50IN.kext which you can find a few posts above”

“@ Buhgalter: Nice of you to do a BootCD for K50/40IN users @kokozedman: nice work there also, i am not using a DSDT patch also after a BIOS 219 update that stated firmware update, but my video is handled by Chameleon RC4 Graphics Enabler. A…”

“snowleouniflash? please be more specific about your hardware and the verbose mode during boot time (if available)”

“You can see the Apple logo at boot time if you enable the GUI boot in chameleon, com.apple.boot.plist”

“what disk did you install chameleon onto? this first springs to mind”

“hello mao_red, as you see thing have calmed down a little, it seems that we have a good solution for our notebooks Whats your status?”

“i tried only standalone ApplePS2Controller-Snow64 by Slice and it didnt work but i didnt pair it with AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext will try that one out later and report back”

“lol well i think it works on my notebook because its speedsteping properly, the ps2 controller is not working for me, i have sleep working and it goes to sleep fast enough but sometimes i have non working usb and ps2 afterwards. i use smart…”

“What model do you have? Or does it mean that my speedstep and coolbook dont work properly? The TJMax value in my plist is 90 does that affect the temperature readings somehow?”

“it revolves around 52-56 and goes up to 68-69 on full load”

“Actually its MacBookPro5,3. I have tried with MacBookPro5,1 also and it doesnt seem to change anything. Do you know of any relations between the Mac Alias name and speedstep with vanilla kernel?”

“No Problem man, thats what the community is here for I am glad that we formed some kind of base for the Asus K50/60 (and simmilar) series of notebooks, and hope to go on in the future.”

“Yes the K50IN has the best hackintosh setup so far (with some help from the OSX86 Community) All of the above work along with some of the Fn keys like brightness, wifi, sleep and so on that work OOTB. The touchpad works with two finger scro…”

“i am without patched DSDT and coolbook is working properly, changing freq, voltage and temperature accordingly. I will have a look into it later,”

“Also, make sure that you're using PC EFI v10.5. When using bare Chameleon RC3, I get either a very jumpy and strange trackpad behavior, or really dead trackpad. Above that, PC EFI seems to make Hackintosh behave much more stable. I have rep…”

“first of what type of K50IN do you have? Did you format the hard drive? Did you install the snow-installer?”

“i have separate options for the mouse and keyboard and i have my notebook listed as MacBookPro5,3 in system profiler and it still works. Did you try the kexts that are in my extra folder? Because i know for sure that the VooDooPS2Controller…”

“Exactly the same software, I dunno if theres a way for us to check it otherwise but i think that either its running or not Also during boot i can see that the applecpupowermanager and client are loading up, just mine coolbook shows 2000, 16…”

“First of, Clubber_77, Thanks for fixing the audio man You Rock! Second of Buhgalter i think you`re better off with one of those broadcom chip based wifi cards that go as low as 10 bucks on EBay, and have a native airport than to wait for so…”

“WEEEEEEELLLLL, i must say that one worked :)))))) WOOOOOOOT, crystal clear audio in iTunes, system profiler also, Buhgalter many many thanks man, now i have a complete working hackintosh :)))”

“i have my AppleHDA patched already, can you provide the original AppleHDA from 10.6.2 ?”

“hmm, i installed the kexts, repaired permissions but no go the volume slider is just greyed out...”

“Hello buhgalter, if these kexts work that would be very very very good I will try them out now and report back. About QE/CI OSX 10.6 is not showing those in system profiler anymore, you will have to check with realtech vr.com/glview/”

“i am glad that it turned out ok with the display kokozedman, about voodoohda, the last version is from cVad the guy that is making the kext utility for snow leo, maybe we ask him somethiong about patching nodes. Also Imkantus is working on …”

“i have the same thing in iTunes as you have but i dont know a workaround for that one. VooDooHDA should work perfectly though...”

“I will try deleting the iTunes preferences i am not using NVInject anymore, i am using the graphic enabler from chameleon. also for full QE/CI read a few posts above for NVEnabler from kokozedman”

“No Problem man, here you go: media fire.com/?zd1vzeu1dod”

“I have this version of VoodooHDA.kext-Snow32/64-v0243 with cVad correction and it seems to be working best of all the versions of voodoohda i have tried, BUT the sound is behaving very strangely, i have noticed that when i play audio and vi…”

“I am sorry to hear that you are going to give up. Wifi needs a replacement for sure, personally i have replaced the wifi card (the easiest thing to do on this laptop) and have a fully working Airport. The usb works fine for me sofar and as …”

“kokozedman, try and install this: http://netkas.org/?p=262 i think you will not have KP with the acpi_smc_platformplugin”

“kokozedman thanks for your experimenting, i was hoping that we have some kind of working audio kext (besides voodooHDA). In my experience also, AppleHDA doesn`t play well with ALC662 . Imkantus offered to do some patching on snow leo`s Appl…”

“I have fiddled around with my kexts and came to a conclusion that NullCPUPowermanagement is not needed anymore since 10.6.2. I removed it, and to my unbilief it booted up, the applecpu powermanagement kicked in and now i have full speedstep…”

“Allright kokozedman, please do it would be very good to have full audio support in osx,”

“Hi! I also have a notebook ASUS K50IN (T4300 2,1 GHz) Please attach to your message kexts for video. I have a maximum screen resolution, but video does not work 100% i dont have kext for the graphic card, Chameleon does the recognizing thro…”

“I guess we have different setups, i have nVidia MCP79 mobo i think its preety close to the motherboard they used is some of the Apple MacBook`s. Yes you should be able to update it to 10.6.2 with the combo updater no problem just read here:…”

“Just a question: what kind of USB audio do you use?”

“My laptop has K50IN-SX004L markings so i think its a different model than mine, can you give me your specs, you can check mine from my signature. I am running in 64bit mode, i havent had any problems regarding charging, switching from batte…”

“yes i have tried it but had KP with it, i think its because of the dsdt that is not right for my machine, i also tried patching AppleHDA but no luck sofar. You can have some sort of audio output with voodooHDA, try it.”

“well first off, i am happy that you have success with installing OSX on K50. Its funny that i dont need DSDT patch anymore since upgrading to the latest ASUS BIOS mao_red, the graphic card i have is working through Chameleon Graphic Enabler…”
