Adding my mobo's DSDT with Multibeast broke my dual-monitor setup, which sucks. Instead of troubleshooting I'm just going to reinstall, so you needn't worry about it. Will Gigabyte ever start making mobos with Hackintosh specifically in mind, and dropping ever-so-subtly-coded hints in marketing materials letting consumers know? Would Apple conscript a paramilitary force from their stores and Genius Bars, and invade Taiwan in response? Or will they just do targeted drone strikes on CEO's instead?

Craptacular! posted:Man, I think I'm about to give up. I'm using NVidia graphics, and an Asus P8Z77 PRO with a custom flashed firmware from that one site and a DSDT made by some kind soul on Tomymac's board who set it up to work with HDMI audio out. I can always go to sleep just fine, but no matter what I set darkwake (or Darkwake, never know if it should be capitalized or not) and other settings, I simply can not wake up with video on many occasions. If it makes you feel better (and I know it will). My auto-sleep stopped working for like, no reason, and there's obviously nothing I can do about it because I barely know how to edit a dsdt even if I knew what values to change. Sleep on demand still works which is nice. Have you tried both using, and not using SleepEnabler? Have you tried disabling onboard graphics? Have you tried some other power management scheme? GraphicsEnabler=No/GraphicsEnabler=Yes? No DSDT? Breaking sleep was the first thing my DSDT.aml did. Here's a funny thing: my ATI 6870 only works on dual screen output if the main screen is connected to the card by two cables, DVI and HDMI. God only knows how I discovered this, but it goes to show that not all of this stuff necessarily makes sense. I solve computer problems by one and only one way: nearly-blind trial and error. Also, during install the only way I could ditch white screen was by hitting power button to sleep and waking. You may also try a distro like iATKOS, which I found way more agreeable than any of the App store installer methods. SRQ posted:Sometimes sleep just isn't going to work, it's a fact of life. Desktops should be left on, run a file server or something to feel less bad about the waste.

Sinestro posted:Buy a MacBook. Even with the best hackintosh laptops, you are only looking at 2h of battery life. Hey! I must now disagree. I've been running 10.8.4 alongside Win7 on my Thinkpad x230 for a few days now general use and can call it stable. Last night I ran it down from 100% to 5% in a goodly mix of browsing, video, audio, and even iPod charging, and I came up with 5:01 hours at 50% backlight. Compare to exactly 6:00 hours for Windows with its full suite of CPU, USB, and PCI power management, and laptop OSX looks pretty damned good with a few DSDT patches, Voodoobattery and a patched Apple power management kext. Used this guide if anyone needs it. It's the first x230 OSX guide, from what I can tell. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=111039

I'm evacuating my mom's failing Macbook hard drive, so I popped it into my x86 desktop to see if I could get FakeSMC.kext into it somehow and not have to use her laptop to get the good stuff out of it. And while I was searching for a way, my computer waked and the myHack flash drive booted it to desktop with no flags. How in the hell? Did the bootloader queue up FakeSMC somehow without it even residing in S/L/Extensions? The list of things I don't understand about OSX-on-x86 just gets longer.

All with no changes to the kext folders or new boot flags whatsoever, always taking me straight to a workable desktop. Hackintosh has clearly come a long way. But still going to say ymmv.

With a bunch of what I can only call "loving around", it can become a daily OS. Though I always dual-boot, just in case I'm on the road and it shits the bed. My Mountain Lion x230 is one of my favorite computers ever. Mavericks just did not loving work, but it's no one's fault. Got to find a thread by a skilled DSDT editor who owns your computer.

No other wifi problems. iCloud and App Store work on both wifi and ethernet. On attempted login it returns the message Could Not Sign Into iMessage, Please Check Your Network Connection.

You might, and you might not. Mavericks has an advantage in that it is free. I've had fewer but different problems with it than I had with ML.

I deleted ethernet from networking, and also deleted networking's I added EthernetBuiltIn=yes to my boot plist, and also added it's long-form device tag to boot plist. One or two reboots in there, I can't remember, then success.

I use an external BT adapter for when I plug my dual-booting laptop into my desk dock. The internal BT does the bt keyboard in Windows, and the IOgear does bt in OSX. The internal BT has no Mac kext, and the external BT has no Windows driver, so they don't get confused. If you use both an external and internal BT adapter, you shouldn't have to re-pair. My BIOS is never going to use a bluetooth keyboard so I don't know anything about that, and I have to keep an extra keyboard plugged in and hidden away to switch OS's.

I do believe though that if another OS shits up Chameleon, that can be repaired and you won't be flailing. I don't remember how exactly. I dual booted for many months, but now that I've got an extra drive I feel much better having them isolated. Just the fact that they won't stop changing each other's system time makes me nervous enough.

So if I just did a full App Store update from 10.9 to 10.9.2, it should have just broken AppleIntel power management, TRIM, AppleHDA, and some other stray stuff? I feel like I fixed everything and I'm good to go. I know I shouldn't have done an App Store update. But I've got Time Machine backup points and Super Duper images up the butt, and I figured I'd just let OSX do whatever it had been bugging me to do for a month. Still, breaking power management with no NullCPUPowerManagement.kext is a loving hassle, that makes you locate your installer USB to get a new one on there. No booting into safe mode even with that particular kernel panic.

poo poo, I think the myHack MBR installation patch is a no-go with 10.9.3. It's an easy fix though, it takes like an extra five minutes to do yourself what the myHack bootable maker does. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/145-mavericks-mbr-patch/ I doubt anyone can help me with this, but I use a patched AppleHDA with the correct DSDT. And it works great, even with the iPod inline mic. But every few minutes, the sound comes on as a light static hum. Just like the card has become engaged but has nothing to play. It stays on until the sound card gets actual input, like if I change the volume and it has to play the bloop noise. Which means anything I do that keeps the sound card technically engaged will keep the static hum from coming on. The hum comes on at a constant volume, and is either on or off. As long as the sound card's got something else to do, I've got no other problems whatsoever with AppleHDA.

Djarum posted:I am using a secondary sound card due to having one of the Asus boards that has the phantom card in the bios. I get the same problem. I think it is something with 10.9 since the problem didn't exist in 10.8 with the same hardware. I solved my problem by being able to hot swap the speakers when I am not using them. Not the most elegant solution but it works. I keep internet radio playing at a volume of zero all the time. I do this mainly because my powerline connection will shut off if it's allowed to go idle, and I'll have to reset it. I feel like I had strange sound quality issues with Voodoo, and the inline microphone doesn't work with it.

Sleep, boot to windows from osx, updating via the App Store, screen share, iMessages. It's worth the time spent id say. Hang on, why should I switch from myHack+Chameleon to Clover? Actually this last time around I didn't even use myHack, so just Chameleon. And then Multibeast is a pretty reasonable repo of kexts. Patched kexts are hard as hell to track down and I kind of enjoy having someone besides myself and a random forum to sign off on them.

I think it had something to do with a hosed up boot loader (boot0 error, I was booting with a USB). I reinstalled under GUID instead of MBR and I'm cruising. Of course this means I have no Windows installation, but I've got three free drive bays and no good reason to be cramming them together. Since I run Mac exclusively for iMessage, 10.10 is the most important software update ever to occur to me. My friends with android phones will finally receive exactly the same amount of attention from me. holy poo poo my cpu fan doesn't work.

Anybody ever changed the device and vendor ID's on a wifi or WWAN card to pass an HP/Lenovo BIOS whitelist check? I've made a rare/good decision not to gently caress with my BIOS to remove the whitelist entirely, which I want to say carried a 25% chance of bricking my system board and ending my 12 month x230 hackintosh run. Remaining options available include disguising an Atheros card as an Intel one, an Expresscard wifi (am currently using a Linksys WEC600N), and obviously a USB card. These whitelists are a pain in the loving rear end. I recommend the Linksys expresscard, but it's range is not great.
