Hi, can I ask which PCI-E Bluetooth/WiFi card you bought and if you ever upgraded / installed High Sierra 10.13.2 with everything working OK re USB / Audio etc? Thanks//Zztony

Dell T7500, 2 x W5580 Xeon @ 3.20GHz, 24GB 3-ch ECC RAM, GeForce8600GT512 and AMD Radeon 7870 GHz Edtn.

 

cheers//Zztony

Sorry for the late reply.....Yes, it's the original mach_kernel. Any suggestion on what to do next for me to investigate further? Still stuck with the same problem....

 

thanks//zztony

I downloaded Chameleon-2.2svn-r2149.pkg and installed it with the kernelpatcher selected, but it hangs with: Patching 64bit XNU Kernel 0.0.0.

Please see attached pic.

 

thanks//zztony

Picture of KP / boot error message

 

thanks//zztony

Still no luck with booting the 2cpu rig, panic during boot with a swift reboot. No chance to take a pic of the panic-error-message, but managed to film it with my FlipCam and snipped some screenshots from it(sorry for the bad quality)

 

thanks//zztony

Could you try this Extra folder?

 

Put it in your root, and delete the old Extra folder.

Remove VoodooHDA.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions

Move all the extensions of /Extra/Extensions to /S/L/E (because you use stupid unifail).

Fix permissions.

 

Made a myHack USB boot with 10.8.2 and installed to a new partition. First(initial) boot OK to new installed partition. Added the Extra from you, fixed permissions and it booted nicely(as before) with one cpu installed.

 

NEXT: will install second cpu and try again....

 

thanks//zztony

I ran the Darwindumper with only 1 cpu installed and attached are the output in zip file and the content of my Extra folder.

 

thanks//zztony

 

Here's my ioreg file also...

This a photo of a USB boot from the older i.P.o.r.t.a.b.l.e (10.0.0) with the default 'chocolate' kernel, at least it stopped when it KP so I was able to take a pic of it.

Nice system!

If you could add me on Skype, (royal_noob3), we could have a look! I think it is something with DSDT patching we need.

Could you make a clean install with myHack (10.8.2) (http://myhack.sojugarden.com), that is the install method we recommend.

 

When we are working on it, we will make a topic with progress information (for other people) and add it to EDP.

 

Added to Skype!

Not possible to nothing with 2cpu's installed, but I have a clean install based on unifail/Easybeast with only cpu installed that work just fine. It's not as easy to get a clean install with myHack unfortunately....

Thanks//Zztony

Hi, I have a Dell Precision Workstation T7500 with 2 Quad-Core 'westmere' Xeon [email protected] and 12GB ECC RAM installed. I got it up&running very smoothly with unifail - Install 10.8.2 - multifail = OK!
BUT, It seems impossible for me to even boot OSX with both CPU's installed, I've tried any version.(tried 10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x)

What do I need to do to boot this system with both CPU's installed?

KP error and instant reboot every time, very hard to be quick enough to record or take a pic of it.....

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers//Zztony

Hi tony,

 

Looks familiar. Have you run myfix full mode?

 

Cheers!

 

Yes, but no luck

hmm.. could you give us a bit more info.. like :

 

1. Do you have a modified DSDT optimized for your rig ?

2. What kind of KP's do you get ?

3. Got at any shots of the kp ?

 

The more info you can share - the bigger is the chance we can help out

 

1. NO DSTS p.t., will try to install without DSDT first, then work my way towards C&P-States, generation of these and sleepmode & restart when rig at least boots ands are stable.

2. Most KP´s are related to ACPI, IOPCI and PowerMngmt stuff.

3. Attached 2 of those....

 

Thanks, //Ztony

try booting with CPUS=1 -f -x

 

 

Tried already cpus=1 -f -x Also pmVersion=0 and a lot of other params but no luck. Will upload some pictures of KP Codes soon.

 

Thanks, //Zztony

Hello everyone,

 

I have some problems installing Lion on my Dell Precision T7500 with 2 quad core Intel Xeon W5580. I´ve installed a lot of Latitude´s and other hackintosh´s over the years, but all have been single cpu´s.

Tryed all different bootloaders and boot-parameters, but no luck, KP every time though different codes a lot of them are related to power mngmt.

 

Anyone done this success on a dual quad core rig?

 

Cheers, //Zztony
