Recommended Posts

10.8.3 Update:

 

Downloaded the Combo update from Apple (instead of via appstore)

 

Ran myHack before Restart. Didn't replace any kexts in S/L/E

 

Also, I connected new Crossover 30" WQHD monitor.

 

Everything works oob- monitor and resolution (2560*1600) recognised in System information.

 

Still have to add ATI 5670 as the video card in System Properties.

 

Cheers and Good Hack :ph34r:

Hi rayzedge,

 

Congratulations on getting the 755 working as a hackintosh!

 

My machine does wake from 'sleep' using keyboard and mouse. But I use the term 'sleep' in a qualifited sense since I can stil  hear fans and possibly HD's whirring. Pretty sure that the machine sleeps more fully when booted into Windows.

 

I don't have option darkwake=0 checked  on my smbios.plist using Chameleon Wizard.

 

Nor do I have the patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext in s/l/e.

 

Make sure you don't have NullCPUPowerManagement kext installed in Extras folder.

 

Good luck!

Update: OS 10.9 Mavericks working.

 

Here's my method which may/may not be optimal. Your mileage may vary.

 

Method: for installing

  1. Used myHack 3.3 to create a 10.9 usb installer.
  2. Copied 3 kexts from S/L/E on the usb to desktop: IOPCIFamily.kext, IOAHCIFamily.kext, AppleAHCIPort.kext
  3. Substituted the following kexts from existing 10.8.5 install IOPCIFamily.kext, IOAHCIFamily.kext, AppleAHCIPort.kext onto the usb (use a kext utility) as per here.
  4. disconnected other HD's, check BIOS set to AHCI, set boot sequence to boot from usb and installed 10.9.

Method for booting:

 

  1. Replaced IOPCIFamily.kext and IOAHCIFamily.kext (with the 10.9 kexts previously saved to desktop) in S/L/E of the Mavericks install. Note that  the ML 10.8.5 AppleAHCIPort.kext left in place.
  2. Run myHack fix permissions etc. Reboot.

Good luck!
