Samsung Series 7 Chronos NP700Z7C-***** Development Thread

[jjvrobles]

Hello I have the NP700Z7C-S01US and I tried dual booting with Windows 8 and Mountain Lion using your method and your Installation Package. It seemed to work for a while. I was able to boot into Mountain Lion and Windows 8 as I pleased. Then I Mountain Lion started hanging on the gray startup screen. At first I thought it may have been caused by a BIOS update I ran, and it may. I am currently on BIOS version P06AAE.

I tried erasing the Mac partition and reinstalling it again. Again it ran for a few times. Then after so many reboots it hung again when starting to load Mountain Lion on the gray screen.

When I run it with the -v boot option I get a few things that stand out, (to me atleast, I am a noob so I don't know what to look out for).
1) BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist
2) WARNING: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x3a....
3) GeForceSensors (0): [Error] unable to shadow VBIOS


I also ran it with -x boot option and I get a panic message:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f80cbevf1): ApplePS2MouseDevice::_RESERVEDApplePS2MouseDevice2 called ....

I've attached two photos. The one called v was when I ran it with the -v boot option and the picture called x was when I ran it with the -x boot option.

I am new to this and I thank you for any of your help.

Intel 4000's not configured correctly. Make sure you have GE=No and the correct platform-id being injected through the boot.plist.

There are. It won't work without them.

My bad. I was looking at the stock DSDT. Thanks.

"Intel 4000's not configured correctly. Make sure you have GE=No and the correct platform-id being injected through the boot.plist."


I have the following in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>PCIRootUID=1</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000004006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31</string>
</dict>
</plist>


How do I know what the correct platform-id should be?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge and thank you for your help again. One more thing I forgot to mention, the version of Mountain Lion I am installing from my unibeast boot drive is the latest 10.8.3, if it makes a difference.

You've tampered with it. There's a space in your device properties string. Delete it and it will work.

Hi Guys,

can i acitivate the mini displayport on the notebook ?

 

[ayilm1]

You will need to do it by modifying the frame buffer (AppleIntelFramebufferCapri). You can select the table you want (01660004 in my boot.plist), find it in the executable in the next and use a hex editor to add the rows for DP/HDMI. I can't be bothered at this point since I'm not going to be using an external display and I don't currently have a working machine.

i use the boot.plist from the installation package

Sorry I must have pasted it on here weird, but there is actually no space there.

I reinstalled Mountain Lion again. However this time on the step to copy over the Extra folder from the Installation Package I removed both ApplePS2Controller.kext and ApplePS2ElanTouchpad.kext, since I did get a kernel panic referring to these two kexts. I attached the image before, but I'll attach it again so you know what I'm referring to.

It seems to be running, but of course I have neither trackpad nor keyboard support, so I'm attaching a usb mouse and keyboard to my laptop for now. I will update in case I get the same problem as before.
