Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

[Kaido]

So I just noticed the CD-ROM on by new UD3P Leopard install does not work. Has anyone had this problem?

Can you go into more detail please?

Bit Shoveler over at InsanelyMac whipped up a working 64-bit R1000 kext for onboard Realtek LANs. I packaged it into an auto-installer, available here:

http://pcwizcomputer.com/weaksauce12/2009/11/03/finally-64-bit-r1000-kext-for-snow-released/

I updated my kits to include this kext as well. One final bug to kill and it's release time! (and new thread time!) Many many months of testing & tweaking are finally going to pay off, YAY!

(and new thread time!)

Whaat? B-but then we won't make it to page 1,000!

Anyone know how to delete a file from the EFI partition? I know how to mount it, but I don't have permission to delete the 'Bonjour' folder I put there.

Also, what's better the 64bit R1000 kext or promiscuous mode?

The kext puts your networking into promiscuous mode, without having to save your password to the hard drive. The kext is better. But, the kext has to be installed in SLE, not on your EFI partition, just fyi.

How'd you install the Bonjour folder to the EFI partition originally?

Just installed Chameleon to the EFI partition and then mounted EFI and dragged the Bonour folder over.

I just do most of my stuff in /Extras, makes it a lot easier. Sometimes I use a USB stick, but I'm lazy and the hard drive method is just easier for editing haha.

Well, it shows up in the Bios but once I get into OSX, it is like it is not even there. There is no eject button in the upper right hand corner and I cannot open it manually either.

This isn't to say that the kext won't work with my Chameleon installation on the EFI partition, is it?

It has to be loaded from the system's Extension folder, on your hard drive (just like the old R1000 for 10.5). If you get a supported PCI NIC, you can just skip this completely.

I've also noticed that this driver is very slow. I'm getting like 8 MB/s on my network, usually get 20-40 MB/s.

Any good PCI-e 1x NICs?

I use a PCI NIC (Encore 1320), but try posting on Insanely and see if anyone has a good working model. If you find one, post back!

I finally got wireless working on my Hackintosh

If anyone is looking for an adapter the Linksys wusb600n is pretty sweet, since there is actually a manufacturer made Mac driver available that is just a one-step install.

 

[Shwymie]

DougoMan...you might find this link useful. It is an "airport-like" program for the wusb600n. Although not perfect it is still better than the clunky Ralink app.

Thanks I'll give that a try. So far it has proved to be a tad bit unreliable.

I have to say, the new Halloween v2 installer is pretty slick. Fixed a few issues I was having. The only thing is I can't get both video cards working successfully (had to remove the secondary GFX), it could be that I was using Peg instead of Peg2 as the first installer didn't work correctly with both as well. I'm just amazed that it picked up my 9600GSO and set it correctly at 384mb, here's to hoping for the second. I'll try Peg2 tonight and see how it goes


Also after sleep, Fusion 3 drops network for some reason.

Mine saw both cards in System Profiler, but said both were using slot 1. I figured it needed a fix in DSDT, but haven't been able to locate one yet.

So I just reinstalled snow leopard. And my audio keeps popping, didnt do this before.

I hate it when my audio poops!

Hehe..

 

[mosslack]

I'm having shutdown-restart issues on all of the partitions of my HD on my UD3P system. Can someone tell me which BIOS options might cause this? I have misplaced the BIOS settings from Kaido's guides.

poop, it is taking a crap on me though.

 

[KeypoX]

snow just isnt stable for me... something is always crashing and brings down the entire system.

I guess ill wait for a new method dsdt just doesnt seem stable. Maybe I should update bios and try new bios with new dsdt. Im still running F7.

 

[mosslack]

I'm running the latest stable version which is F9, I'm sure the DSDT was created based on F9 so might not be a bad idea to update and see what happens.
