Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have gotten snow leopard 10.6.6 to boot successfully in normal mode, but i cannot get audio, graphics card, and ethernet to work. I have extracted my dsdt and compiled it with no errors and put it in /Extra from root of mac drive (fixing errors in register names and unreachable code sections and a _HID name not being hex) and this has not changed anything. Here are my general specs: 6gb ram (i assume a 4gb stick and a 2gb, or 3 2gb sticks) nvidia geforce 425m (1gb) intel i7 Q740@1.73ghz 640gb hard drive (partitioned and already booting to mac and also win7) if more info is needed, just ask and ill post the entire list of devices by name that my computer has that could be of importance. Here are my devices i have that i want to get working and their hardware id counterparts: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M ---------------------- PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF0&SUBSYS_907A104D&REV_A1 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF0&SUBSYS_907A104D PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF0&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DF0&CC_0300 Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller ------------------------------------------------------- PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_907A104D&REV_10 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_907A104D PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&CC_020000 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&CC_0200 NVIDIA High Definition Audio ---------------------------- HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_0014&SUBSYS_104D4F00&REV_1001 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_0014&SUBSYS_104D4F00 Realtek High Definition Audio ----------------------------- HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0275&SUBSYS_104D4F00&REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0275&SUBSYS_104D4F00 High Definition Audio Controller -------------------------------- PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0BEA&SUBSYS_907A104D&REV_A1 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0BEA&SUBSYS_907A104D PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0BEA&CC_040300 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0BEA&CC_0403 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My motherboard is: Manufacturer: Sony Chipset: Intel (DMI Host Bridge Rev.11) Southbridge: PM55 Rev5 ------------------------------------- How would i go about editing my dsdt to include this motherboard for fixes to enable sleep and device recognition? I know i got sound to work previously,i use a similar kext to alc275, but it had a low hissing noise when not muted, even if the volume was low. How would i go about, properly enabling audio to work? I believe i found codec dumps and have codec verbs of this, but how would i prepare these myself to ensure it works properly, and then what would i do with them after i have them? I also have my graphics card not recognized. I tried nvEnabler but it didn't seem to work. I also tried drivers i found online at kexts.com but the package (modded to ignore model check) installed fine (and was labeled to work for 425m) but made my computer boot to a blank black screen. I want to try and use dsdt as it seem more reliable than efi strings, unless its not possible to get it to work with dsdt and kexts. I have also tried getting my ethernet to work before, i used the "change id's trick" and changed some properties inside the yukon2 kext in IONetworkingFamily.kext to try and pair to my device. The computer seemed to recognize eth0, and that a port was there but would also say a cable is unplugged and would cycle between that and no port available in the networking settings. I believe it might be a small problem with the driver, but i am unsure. I also noticed that if i click "about this mac" the gui crashes and it reloads the desktop (if i have a password i have to re log in). On another forum this was said to be a known problem because of the motherboard, which makes no sense to me but it could be if it is trying to pull info and gets an error. How would i fix this? After i fix those i want to work on sleep enabling and QE if they are not available after fixing the above. I know this is a lot, and i am not expecting to be spoonfed, i just am unsure where to begin with these devices and how to modify my dsdt. My motherboard is not listed in the patch section, so i am on my own in that department i guess, so i want to figure out what i can do and what to modify to "emulate" a macbook pro to be most compatible with a vanilla install. I have purchased my own copy of macosx (garage sale), and snow leopard but i am using hazards 10.6.6i (unpatched) distro as it includes drivers and custom loader.

Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You should use at least Lion, it has better support for your hardware. Video should work with minor configs. The problem is ethernet, I think it's not supported by Yukon drivers. What's the wireless card? My laptop has similar specs, runs Lion and Mountain Lion well, much better than Snow Leopard. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Don't I have to install lion as a os upgrade? I don't think there is a standalone disc or Distro. I have a copy I bought from a friend but wanted to make a stable sl build as I assumed that would be easier. Is lion a standalone installer, or do I need sl to install it? My wireless card is: Intel centrino advanced-n 6250 agn I doubt I can find drivers The model for my ethernet is only one high than the driver that exists, I assumed it would be close enough to modify.

Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Lion is not only an update, you can do a clean install http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=740 I never seen this ethernet working in Mac OS. Your wifi is not supported, but you can replace it. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 True. I've never seen it work. A lot of ppl have this card tho. I thought someone would have found a way. Can I just replace the wifi module (open laptop and swap it) i can open my laptop confidently as I have numerous other times for routine cleaning. I will try lion tomorrow. But how would I get audio to work atleast? What r basic steps to getting it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The easier way for audio is VoodooHDA, with some tuning it can work really well http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=454 -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I notice your machine specs look close to mine, did you get ur graphics card to work? Ethernet / wireless? Thanks for the help steering me in the right direction and for the links. I'll look into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yes, graphics card works fine.

Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have begun the download, i am just curious about motherboard patching in the dsdt, is there some kind of guide to what you should patch and how to trace problems in dsdt (when no errors show up in compile) to fix sleep and other problems that can be fixed via dsdt?

Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have tried booting to lion but cannot get setup to come up. My disc always hangs at "PCI configuration begin" and stops reading the disc and hangs forever. I have tried verbose and safe mode command switches to no avail. What should I try and do to boot?

Cassio Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My disc always hangs at "PCI configuration begin" and stops reading the disc and hangs forever There's a kernel flag for this problem in the guide, did you try it? -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Richard_2 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yup. Still sticks at that point. No dvd drive read noise. No kernel panic or other messages. Just stops. I put in "npci=0x2000" which I believe was correct parameter. And verbose mode of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
