Quote "Docthemac, that's cool that you got you laptop working. I'm really surprised that my patch worked at all. There are so many things that can go wrong with a hackintosh installation, and considering the patch and DVD were completely untested, I'm amazed it worked at all.
So what version of AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext 5.1 are you using now?
The SSE3 StepSpeed kernel that I used in the installer is old. Netkas has a newer version out now. By the way your Core Solo should be good to go with the stock kernel, having said that, I may have set the checkscripts wrong in the installer. Was the stock XNU option disabled (grayed out) when you ran the installer?"Are you not using the patch? I agree with you that many things can go wrong with a patch and hack install I did not know that the patch and dvd were untested, did it say that some where? Anyway I'm glad I tried it and that it worked pretty easy all things considered! I had to run the graphics update again after first boot and replace the buffer kext to get my graphics working correctly, any idea if a fix in the installer could be made easily? I am running the kalyway 5.1 AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext now. (you know there was not one even installed?,first time I have not seen one in a hack install.) What exactly does the SSE3 StepSpeed kernel do? Yes the stock SSE3 xnu kernal was grayed out, Anyway to fix that? Thanks again for the patch! You know there is not a "intel" 5.2 installer out yet! I was thinking about uploading the image I made with your patch(and give you full credit of corse) to the TPBay or B.S., what do you think? It's your patch so it's your call

Just found out the wake from sleep does not work, crap Netkas new kernel that I mentioned will might fix that, or use the stock kernel. Well yes, I obviously did a test run of the patch to installed Leo onto a spare drive that I have, but that's hardly what I would class as a thorough testing. I will look into the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext issue and try and fix that up. The StepSpeed (sorry the SpeedStep, I'm always doing that) kernel does what it says on the tin, enables SpeedStep. The SSSE3 XNU (AKA the stock kernel) is incorrectly disabled with original Core CPUs. It should only be disabled on older Pentium, Celeron, etc... Again I will try and fix that up. Please don't distribute the DVD image! Apple make great software and they should be rewarded for it. People should go buy the retail DVD. Anyhow, I'd like to try and fixup the problems already highlighted, and I may release an updated version.

ritalin When you get time if you could get the framebuffer.kext fixed I would be happy to help you test it! I would love to see an updated patch Also I hope to get to the point where I can code my own patch. No problem about the image, I agree about apple making great stuff. They really do deserve the coin for their hard work!! Look forward to updates and I will try the Netkas kernel and get back to you. Edit: The Netkas 9.2 kernal did not fix my wake from sleep issue:(

Thank you for the reply. i now have a fully working 5.2 Vanilla. i added a few kext for my own personal choice of course.

ritalin: Thank you for the reply. i now have a fully working 5.2 Vanilla. i added a few kext for my own personal choice of course. BTW: stock XNU is working. it was enabled on my machine. Cool, so what kext did you add? The stock kernel works on my machine as well. It will work on Core 2 based CPUs, I need to mod the javascript so it will install on older Core CPUs. It should probably check for - SSSE3 = not supported and 64 bit = enabled then stock XNU = disabled

Hi again...
It was a mistake when i said ADDED. Instead, REPLACED some modified & updated kext for my sound, video.
(For my older computer) EFI Also, i replaced the Kernel & AppleSMBios from Netkas. ACPIPlatform by Kalyway.

Thanks for the link:) I found the netkas site with a simple search. But thanks a lot for the installer, it will come in handy in the future!! The netkas 9.2 mach_kernel did not fix my wake from sleep issue. I think others are having the same issue with various installs.

Hey Ritalin,
That is great news, I have used the custom installer you made for me now a few times and although I never got the disk to go with the .5.2 update, it sails though the whole process much faster that any other distribution and installs 10.5. I am also using gfx strings now as my system boots quicker and you don't get the annoying flashing when nvinject/natit detect the monitors. If you ever get any spare time and fancy doing another for me (very happy to paypal for your time) I would send you up to date kexts files.
Once again congrats, the disk is superb! ;D

Once again congrats, the disk is superb! ;D Hey, you should know me better than that! There's know no need to paypal me anything. As I keep saying, if you can get me an installer log of the failing 10.5.2 update, then I may be able to figure out what is going wrong. Never used GFX strings myself. I'm afraid I don't know how they work or how to set them up. If you can send me the info / brief explanation I will look into it for you. It will be next weekend before I can do anything though.

Thanks Ritalin, That is extremely kind. I just don't like asking people to do a load of work, especially when they have spent some time already. If it is OK, then I will put a link up some time this week to the latest kexts that I use and just do it when you get a chance. I installed this USB kext and found that my hack now seems to shut down much quicker. Did not have to remove anything either. Click Here To DownloadRight then, GFX Strings. Files for this Project: Click to DownloadYou have to have EFI V8. It will not work with V7 to V7.4 1 Get your hack running just the way you want it with Natit First! Ok so here is the quick how-to. Get the attached gfxutil and template.plist and copy them to your desktop. Open up terminal and type cd ~/desktop (then hit return) ./gfxutil -f display (then hit return) You should get something along these lines printed out PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0xe,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) Now copy that and open the template.plist and look for the line near the top where you see this example and replace it with what you copied. Scroll down near the bottom of the plist and change this: <key>model</key> <string>NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX</string> to whatever model Geforce card you are using. You can also change the Rom-revision to whatever you like. Once your done making your changes save the file as in.plist. Make sure you do rename it to in.plist Go back to terminal you should still be in the desktop directory and type this. ./gfxutil -i xml -o hex ./in.plist ./out.hex you should now have a new file called out.hex on your desktop. Open this file with whatever editor you like it and it will have your new graphics string. Copy it and open finder and head to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and open up your com.apple.boot.plist. Under the last string, which is usually the...... <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>Yes</string> add a couple new lines as follows <key>device-properties</key> <string>PASTE YOUR LONG HEX STRING HERE!</string> You should end up with something like this (My 8800GTX flashed to Quadro FX 5600): NOTE: You don't need the bit at the bottom where I have put <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string>, this just gives better res while the Grey apple is doing it's spinny thing. Close and save the file. If it doesn't let you save it, save as a copy elsewhere and you can move it back replacing the old one. Make sure to save a backup copy of the original just in case. If you had full QE/CI prior to making these changes, browse over to /system/library/extensions and delete the NVinject/Natit or whatever you were using and reboot. Don't hold me responsible if you break your own install but this does work for some, but not all. One more thing, if you have a 512 card or a 768 mb card as I do, you have to insert Total ram size int your in.plist file with XML editor just like in nvinject. The std template.plist is for 256 cards. Thanks to Zephyroth.

Now working on a version which includes Netkas Sleep kernel. I look forward to SSE3 SNU support on my intel(SSE3) core solo, same as the first intel mac mini. And Netkas Sleep Kernel also, sounds great!! One stupid question Is the Netkas Sleep Kernel in the 9.2 mach_kernel or a separate one all together? Thanks as always for your time. **BTW did you all see this:** netkas.org/?p=15#commentscomment #1, Grim Reaper says the way I think many of us, feel and think about OSX86 as a whole.

Just uploading " OSx86_patcher_v2" now. Netkas sleep kernel don't work on my machine it wont let the machine goto sleep! No matter cos I use the stock kernel and sleep works for me with that one. ;D You can only use one kernel. They are all much the same only some are tweaked to allow them to work on different hardware/CPUs. Whenever you install a kernel, it will replace the previous version. This is why you should only select one from the DVD! In fact, the DVD should only allow you to select one version. If you can select more than one I did something wrong. Thanks for the link. You should see what I had to do to a Yikes! to get it running OSX. ;D
