I have read a few just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how a lot effort you place to make such a fantastic informative web site.

Anthony, this is from the first page of this thread http://www.insanelymac.com/for.....pic=189052

Like Jan said in his post, he didn’t use their kext. Jan has the ones you need posted in the beginning. I’m not sure but I think you can format the stick with your install disc. HTH

Hi,

I have been attempting to install osx leopard from a retail DVD to my asus p6t and core i7 930 setup.

I have tried two install examples using iboot from the hackintosh.com guides.

I’m really struggling to get everythinging to work correctly.

My ultimate aim is to:

1)install osx leopard
2)install os x lion update

Can anyone give me the best way to achieve this with a p6t motherboard.

I know I’m asking a lot but the only online guides seem to rely on me having an existing osx environment…..I don’t have one.

Thanks
Anthony

Hmm, you could still try to patch AppleRTC.kext using these instructions: http://www.insanelymac.com/for.....038;st=100

I am not getting any boot errors during the next boot after sleep, so I guess no.

Andrius, are you getting a CMOS reset after waking from sleep?

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for helping to finally setup my vanilla hackintosh. I got the same MB as you running an i7 920. I also used the same kexts and setup my BIOS as you did. My only problem is sleep. The computer does go to sleep but can’t wake from it – when I press the power button I can hear the fans, cd-rom, hard drive getting active, but the monitor does not go up, nor does the system (the caps lock indicator is not responding). My graphics card is a geforce 9600 gt. Any advice would be much appreciated.

But anyway thanks very much for your wonderful article and resources!

Hi, I’m brand new to hackintosh, but I was able to follow Fleebailey’s tutorial to install using MyHack installer.

I am using a P6T with i7-920 and a BFG GTX 260 card. I installed to a new SATA drive specifically for OSX.

Following the installation, I have 1 primary problem and 2 minor ones.

The primary problem is that I don’t have sound in OSX. In the “About this Mac/More Info”, it lists my onboard sound card (I don’t know if there is any way to know if it sees it as the (correct) ALC1200 or not, though). However, in the Preferences/Sound/Output, it says there are no output devices.

I see various information about kexts, but I’m not savvy enough yet to know how to fiddle with these (other than what Flee provided via 2.0.6 (two kexts)).

Any help / pointers to information would be helpful. I tried this site and a couple of others and their provided kext files, but they didn’t have any impact. I’m not sure if this is kext issue or something else though, since the device is presumably showing up, just not in the output list. I also don’t really know how to apply kext files (I copy them to the appropriate location and re-run pfix per flee’s install guide, but that may not be the right thing to do).

The other two problems are with 1) dual video cards and 2) no “sleep” in Windows

For #1, I have the two GTX 260 cards in SLI mode in Windows. I removed one for the hackintosh installation and everything worked fine. Afterwards, I put the second one in and I get a kernel panic. I did a quick look online and it seems that SLI is not supported, but I should be able to get OSX to not panic if both are in the machine (I dual boot with Windows 7 and don’t want to swap them in and out). I’m going to use this link to try to get them to work: http://www.tonymacx86.com/view.....038;t=8660

For #2, after the installation and going back to Windows 7, sleep no longer works (nor does hibernate). For both items, if I try to activate them, the screen blanks and then immediately comes back (after about 5 secs). This was not a problem before the install. I’m wondering if this could have been caused by switching the sleep mode at the BIOS to S3 as recommended?

Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks,
phlepper

Does anyone have a wireless card working?

Hi, im having a little issue on my P6T with a i930.
I installed the 10.5.7 iatkos Leopard to make my vanilla DSDT, it works perfectly, but after the SL instalation…
I installed the chameleon v2 rc3 on my SL partition (the installation failed to copy chameleon to the hard drive) and now i have 2 boot options:
USB boot – the vga works nice, but there are no sound card
HD boot – the sound works nice, but there are no vga

Can you help me to make it right?
Thanks.

I love you man! Been fighting with this system for a while now and all I needed was your little DSDT-tip to get the S-ATA speed up with IRQ.

I prepared the drive on a different system and it took about 30 minutes to boot up with P6T motherboard (I had other stuff to do so I let it chew on until I got an error, but instead it started up “fine”). Finally I can sleep in peace :)

when i run the 10.6.3 update from the built in mac software update, i get a kernel panic when i reboot. when i ran the 10.6.2 downloaded update from apple’s website, i get another kernel panic (i didn’t write either one down). so i ran the time machine backup to get things running again. i read somewhere that the sleepenabler.kext could be the culprit, but i can’t find where it’s kept, and there’s not an easy way (ie. step by step tutorial) to delete kexts once they’re in the system. so i’m just running 10.6.0 now. i want to get 10.6.3 running so i can install my 3rd party software before i get another time machine backup, so i’ve been using win 7 for the time being. i’m hoping to get everything running smooth for the march 12th valve release of steam.

how do you install and delete kexts?

Larry, I didn’t have to do anything special, the updates always worked out of the box.

I have my audio running and I boot to a working system. It just takes a long time before I am able to click and open any programs. My mouse will move around, but clicking actions take a good 3 minutes to work. Any ideas?

Thanks Jan. For some reason I could not get the GTX 250 card to work. I went out and bought a GTX 260 and it works like a charm.

Nick, try using the EFI string from EFI studio along with the graphic enables YES. This has been working for my BFG GTX 260 card.

AJ, at the moment I’m using a Nvidia 8800 GTX without any issues. The only graphics related setting in my rig is GraphicsEnabler -> yes and I’m not using HDMI.

Cheers,

Jan I am wondering what graphics card you are using? and how you enabled it in SL? I used your build and now have a rock solid hackintosh except for the video card. update to 10.6.3 cause the card to go blank. was wondering if you enabled the graphics via the DSDT or what method you used.

I have the
p6t
with the evga gtx 260
I keep getting stuck on just a light blue screen?
I have used your dsdt.aml and com file in /extra
but to no avail. All bios settings are correct.
What do you think?

cosmetic change to make it show up more mac like :)
will look into the wake issue, thanks

By: Jan

If I remember correctly it’s because of the changes you made in the EUSB section. I don’t see the benefit of that change anyway.

Cheers,
