Issues with Z68X-UD3H-B3 Install

[Azimuth1]

Azimuth1, My friend i am not trying to be rude, but i said not to use any kext.

But this is an App "Please Sleep". Try it http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/61481-fix-auto-sleep.html

Ok, I'll check this after making the others changes.

Before that

Go to Extra folder and you should see 2 files and 1 folder.
Open the file called Chameleon.plist and change the flag

darkwake=0

to

darkwake=10

or

darkwake=No

OK; I'll do that in few hours (I'm at work now), what about clearing the logs? how do I do it?

 

[Azimuth1]

darkwake=No works perfectly!!!

cudos to MiniITX! many thanks to you!

do I have to try the other options? It goes to sleep even after 3 min ... good!

btw what's the meaning of that option? is there any drawback?

ciao for now

SO, If I've understand correctly, putting darkwake=No means that all the components of the comp are treated equally regarding the switch off and on during the change of the state from a wakeup->sleep or viceversa. While normally they are treated differently upon their specific nature... am I correct?

Hi guys,

I've noticed another little thing ... the HW monitor app (the one I installed from MB) under CPU frequencies show me that the processor jump from 16x to 36x ... but is it normal? is there nothing in between? why this behaviour?

thanks...

ciao for now!

MiniITX FTW!

Here's my system components:

Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev 1.3 UEFI
i5-2500K SB
Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB
OCZ Agility 120 SSD (OSX)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (Files)
Sony Optiarc DVD
Best Connectivity PCI Express IEEE1394b
Corsair TX550M
NZXT H2 Classic Silent Mid Tower

I had some issues installing ML 10.8.2, but MiniITX was gracious and patient enough to help me through it.

...

User DSDT or DSDT Free
ALC889 without DSDT
3rd Party SATA
TRIM (for my SSD)
FAKE SMC
Realtek Gigabite Ethernet
Legacy USB
USB 3.0 Caldigit
Chimera V1.11.1
1080 Patch (so my display resolution would save after reboot)
SSDT - Sand Bridge i5
Mac Mini Profile

BAM! ethernet, integrated audio, HD 3000, manual/auto sleep, everything works like a charm

I am trying to rebuild my system which worked just fine under Lion 10.7.4. System includes:

Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev 1.3 w/UEFI BIOS
i5-2500K SB
Crucial Technology 2x4GB DDR3/1600
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
LG DVD
Using internal HD3000 with DVI connected ViewSonic WX2035vm and VGA connected Dell E151FP.

Installed 10.8.2 (12C60), using MultiBeast 5.1.3.

Followed the above instructions lots of times (also from Alfa's install) but I always end up with a blank screen after the white Apple logo screen would normally transition to the real desktop. I believe it's showing the logon screen since there's a burst of disk activity if I type my password and Enter.

I can boot into safe mode (-v-x) and get video.

I've tried every combination of PCIRootUID and darkwake, but nothing changes. I started with the HDMI patch in MG, but have since lowered the resolution via GraphicsMode.

My org.chameleon.Boot.plist is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <key>Graphics Mode</key>
        <string>"1024x768x32"</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Any suggestions? If I can't get this working, I'll have to back off and try to install under F12 BIOS, but from what I read, U1h is the way to go and offers a better chance to get USB3 ports working. (Another saga - my eSata drive died and Seagate send me a USB3 drive.)

Thanks!

uhm ... my experience leads me to think that it's likely that you'll be having some kind (minor) of problems with USB2/3 connectivity if you install ML over a sandy bridge machine. Different story for Ivy bridge.

I strongly suggest you to install OSX just with 1 monitor connected to DVI port and nothing else. And then report here how it went!

Looking your comment i can only see 1 issue. You have a traditional spinning hard drive and TRIM option should not be selected. Other thing is without looking at the error screen no one will be able help you.

Here is what i suggest disconnect everything except below.
1 monitor (DVI or HDMI)
USB mouse/keyboard

Go to BIOS and reset it to factory settings and change the basic hackintosh BIOS settings as per RocKstaR. Disable VT-d and set the graphics to internal/IGPU.

Create the ML Unibeast drive one more time and connect it to USB 2 port and finish the installation.

Run multibeast with these settings and reboot with -v. If you get error then take a photo and attach it in the reply.

I appreciate the quick response.

The system was working great with F10 BIOS and Lion 10.7.4.

I DL'd MB and UB; got ML from the App Store and created a bootable UB SD card. After that I flashed the UEFI BIOS without any error messages. Needless to say, I couldn't boot my existing system after that. I pulled the SATA connectors on my old drives and installed another SATA drive which I partitioned and formatted for the new installation.

There is no VT-d option on the i5-2500K processor, just the regular VT-x. And I've tried it with that Inter Virtualization Technology setting both enabled and disabled in the BIOS. (I really hope I can leave it enabled as I do run Fusion with an XP VM)

My first ML installations were with everything other than mouse, KB and webcam disconnected. (Forgot about the webcam as it'd fallen behind my monitor.) Did original installations with only a single monitor, but I added the 2nd one just to make sure that video wasn't going out the VGA port. I've disconnected all disks other than the one I'm installing to and the SD card with UniBeast. I also tried with TRIM on and TRIM off.

I saw no errors when starting with -v, though something could have quickly scrolled by. System went through the normal startup sequence, then the white logo screen appeared very briefly and then the screen went black. As I noted earlier, if I waited, the disk quieted down. After blindly typing my password and ENTER, the disk started up again, suggesting that I was being logged on.

I stuck an 8600GT card in this morning for testing and the system came up just fine. Everything seems to work (full video, sleep, USB3 at higher speeds) with the discrete graphics card, but not without it. Can't test HDMI at the moment. This worked with the HD3000 both enabled and disabled in the BIOS. (When Enabled, I did set the preference to PEG.)

Ran XBench and all the video benchmarks ran just fine. Score was compatible with what I got with Lion 10.7.4.

I'd prefer not to have to keep the 8600 in (noisy!) if possible, so I'm still interested in finding a solution to the HD3000 issue.

Before rebuilding everything, are the message that show with the -v option stored anywhere? If I were to enable SSH and log in, would I find all that info with dmesg or in one of the log files?

Otherwise, I'll rebuild my UB disk and reinstall on another partition tonight following these directions and let you know how it goes.

hello rockstar
its about two days i try to set my hackintosh and i reinstall many times.

now i tryed yours setting with fake smc and i7 ssdt and pc stop at apple logo
