I think the cause of my previous setup issue was possibly saving the OS Install dmg in the wrong mode. I thought I'd use that for the system and my 500Gb SATA as a storage drive. I'd rather have it internal, but it's an old IDE 60Gb I had lying around in a box unopened. I got the install working on the external USB. just remember to get into single user mode, when you are at your boot loader type in -s. sorryĮDIT: Just found this looks like there could something in there for you learn. Look for USB keyboard/Mouse and make sure thats turn on. It could be a External Drive issue? all my installs have been with internal HD's also check your BIOS settings. Otherwise I'm going to wipe the drives and start all over. I think Ownership enabled, mine is no, may be part of the problem. I was in the right drive, but the user was added to my MBPro. I tried to add the user in terminal, but I couldn't do it through the install drive, so I plugged it into my MBPro and added it there, but it didn't take. And there are no users available at that page, so setup is not finishing. I thought it was strange to restart into the login page. I bought a new one yesterday thinking that may be the problem. UPDATE: I've just updated to 10.6.2 using the inbuilt software update, installed iWork, iLife and Office for Mac and it's running like a dream still! Thanks once again :) So once again, just wanted to thank all you guys who have put in the hard work to enable me to do this so easily! :cool: As for the sound, a VoodooHDA kext got that working for me, without even the need to reinstall! In order to get the graphics card fully supported that was simply a case of adding an EFI string with osx86Tools. It was simply a case of installing myHack 1.0 with the recommended kexts. I followed this guide however I did not need to create an DSDT file to get anything to work. I am using external USB HDD's to hold my media :) In total, including the case, I paid just under £150 for this setup and that includes a 250GB SATA HDD. My intention was to create a (student) budget OS X system with the ability to play 1080p movies via HDMI using Plex, and I have succeeded!īelkin Network Card (I bought two of these new, plus a network switch new online for £1) It's my first post but I've been keeping an eye on this thread and I just wanted to say thanks for all your help guys! So it could be video card? or bios settings. I dont know too much, but what about the PATA drive you are using? maybe thats the problem, i have read somewhere that say you should a SATA one. I tried different memory moduls and even another graphics board with no success. The systems works great with a live linux system booted from DVD, but when starting from the preparated USB-HDD or an Empire-EFI-DVD, it only results after a few seconds in a "Memory Allocation Error 0x0 deadbeef". My first "Hackmac" is a P45 System with the EFI-X Module, but after finding out, that the guys from EFI-X are just "closing" open source and trying to rip me of, i like to switch to the "pros" and install an chamleon Mac.Īs i need more than one mac in my family, i bought components from the several HCL lists (see signature) and tried first time yesterday. Thanks and regards for this excellent guide! Idling around 37C and peaking around 50C playing Quake 4 with the 5200 at 3.0GHz. again every utility seems to report a DIFFERENT set of temps, but at least now they appear to be move-able. but as mentioned before I do not actually believe these work, b/c the temps never change and are the same as reported without OCing.ĮDIT: on the temp I installed and then the 32-bit SL version of MSR Tools () and my temps now do seem to move. No change in system temp according to iStat and Temperature Monitor. SL is booting, have not used long enough to comment on long term stability. This gives me 3.0 GHz on the E5200 (in theory the E5200 has much more headroom than this) and maintains 800MHz on the RAM. Backing off the front side bus to 325MHz seems to have fixed that. I had the front side bus at 333MHz but after the machine would sleep it would be awake for about 10 mins and would then kernel panic. Did you rerun myHack and target your boot SL hard drive?įor the overclock all I did was set the cpu multiplier to 10.5 and the front side bus to 325MHz. That sounds to me like the bootloader isn't installed on your HD.
