I've noticed from the above conversation on dualbooting that the current recommended advice is to use the bootcamp utility. This gave me a lot of grief. It ended up being easier to resize my main OSX partition in disk utility then, going about installing windows. The boot camp utility when used to partition/resize the same drive as OSX is on uses a hybrid MBR, which makes the Windows installer very unhappy if you are to install Windows such that it boots from EFI (on that same drive). You end up not being able to get past the step where you choose the partition to install windows while at the same time destroying your perfectly good GPT partition table. edit: to clarify this only happens if you intend to install windows and osx to the same drive,

Oh so it was actually my mistake that caused me so much trouble. It was windows 8.1 for the record, I just initially read "bootcamp" and did the install the way I would always do it on my Macbook, without reading the guide. Oops. Sorry :P It was in fact possible to complete the install this way, I just needed to google until I found someone who had done exactly what I did and how they fixed it; notably setting a protective MBR and doing all of the partitioning yourself before you even run the Windows installer. I am not savvy enough to know the difference that having Window's bootloader alongside my clover one in the ESP makes, but it did require me to reinstall clover again afterward in order for clover to work correctly and have an entry in the bootable devices list in my BIOS again.

Just trying to help. As for how Macs install Windows: the Mac silently boots the Windows install media as a non-EFI media, in BIOS mode. That's what Boot Camp is: a BIOS emulator. So to speak. That sounds like tons of fun. Ouch. Ouch. enMTW fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jul 16, 2015 |

so i'm trying to do the dual boot thing using boot camp assistant in Yosemite. So far using boot camp assistant I have been able to make a bootable windows 8.1 installer, and then the computer restarts. I can then see 3 boot options in clover. *Microsoft EFI mgr *Microsoft CD boot *Windows on [disk] Attempting to boot into the first two runs something, then returns to the bootloader. The third, the screen just has a blinking underscore and does nothing until i ctrl-alt-del to reboot the machine. any ideas?

Maps, etc will be able to locate you. Lots of little issues get resolved if you have a Wifi card. Officially, Handoff requires WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. If it works on just 4.0 that's great, but note that iOS X.XX could change that.

Any ideas on a good SMBios for a 3770K/Z77 motherboard? I went from MacPro3,1 or whatever it's called, with sleep working fine, to iMac13,2 in order to get iMessage. Now, sleep is not working. Turns out, this is not a surprise, power management doesn't work on this profile. iMac13,3 does support power management, but of course Clover Configurator doesn't support this profile out of the box.

SMBios has nothing to do with iMessage, just copy the serial you are using with iMac13,2 to a MacPro3,1 SMBios. All iMessage cares about is the system serial/board serial number/ROM value. The later two should, ideally, be legitimate (from an actual Mac).

Also, There might be some sort server side thing with iMessage to prevent spam. I know that I couldn't get iMessage to work consistently (texts would work, iMessages wouldn't), and then suddenly, ~24hrs later it just started working, very strange.

So, I got sleep working again under a iMac13,2 SMBios by using SSDTprgen to look at my CPU and create an SSDT, and then move that into EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched and reboot. I knew that iMessage wouldn't care what model I used, but when I initially set it up I wanted to select a profile that uses the same CPU (Ivy Bridge i7) if possible for any power management, CPU timing related stuff.

That's one way to do it, yeah. The thing about MacPro3,1 is that it doesn't set any power management/CPU related stuff. The other profiles do, MP3,1 doesn't. The values that Clover generates on the fly get used instead.

I was going to play around with this on a box I had lying around but got a kernel panic for my initial Clover boot: in com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. This box has an ASUS P8P67 Pro with LGA1155 socket. Looking around there are some "install NullCPUPowerManagement" kext guides, but not sure what I should choose. Any ideas on how to proceed?

That is an issue caused by 'locked MSRs' on non-Gigabyte boards. You can likely find a patched bios online, that is the best option. Only download NullCPUPowerManagement as a last resort.

Hed posted:Well now I've got an excuse to move this box to NAS duty and make sure my next build is compatible. I own an ASUS board, and had no problem downloading a modded BIOS and flashing it. Unless you buy Gigabyte specifically, you always have to do this. But in the several years I've owned my machine, I've only had to do it twice. The first time, I downloaded a modded BIOS from a wordpress blog that doesn't exist anymore. The second, I had to run a command line app called PMPatch and point it to a firmware downloaded from the manufacturer and make my own modded BIOS. That worked, too. Today, PMPatch was replaced with an even simpler tool called UEFIpatch. Grab UEFIPatch, extract it somewhere, download the latest BIOS file from ASUS, and drag the file over the app. It should create [biosfilen.ame].patched, which you can move onto a USB stick, remove the .patched appendix, and install. I have a Z77 board, and in my case the bios had to be updated using the emergency flash function where you plug a USB stick into a specific USB slot and then hold down a button on the motherboard itself until an LED starts blinking. But the routine ran fine and it all worked. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jul 22, 2015 |

Go Clover and use the OP method. While Chameleon is "Easy" with their turn key methods, doing it properly means far less hassle down the line. You never have to worry about resetting audio or network or any custom kexts on system update ever again. I have found it far less glitches and power/sleep is flawless. All the relevant files are in a hidden but organized partition instead of where the gently caress Chameleon does. HDMI audio is super easy using a real Mac kext, while Chameleon is mystic voodoo. Short version. Clover is much more real Mac.

I guess it's worth mentioning that you can have both installed at the same time. I used to have Clover installed, but it wouldn't work properly on my hardware, so I booted to Chameleon/Chimera/whatever. About a year ago, Clover seemed to have some significant patching that made it work immediately on install with my system, and require very minor tweaks in general, so I just changed the settings in my BIOS to boot to the UEFI partition and moved along. I did eventually reinstall Windows 8 and patched the installer to use UEFI itself, so that launching Windows out of Clover worked properly. But if you aren't installing Windows at all that shouldn't be a problem.

I'll be stopping back in to answer more questions later today, reply to everyone etc. Question though: would anyone object to me re-making this thread? I let the old OP post it, so as to not just steal the stuff he wrote before. The problem is that now I can't edit the first post (which is out of date). I can't make a 'chapter list' linking to individual instructions. I can't do X Y Z. Also, the thread is tagged wrong, making it hard for people to find it! Would anyone object to me remaking this thread? Almost every single line in the OP was written by me anyway. I'd rewrite the remainder and post a new thread. Just getting tired of everything being disorganized. Wasabi the J posted:I'm gonna be attempting Hackintosh on my friends X99 build. X99 is really complicated. Apple has never used it, so support is weak. You should use Clover and follow a guide online for that specific motherboard. You'll need the Nvidia WebDriver, but that isn't a big deal. Also, not that it's a bad thing or anything, but there is no reason to list the cooler/memory/storage/case/psu/optical drive. Any of those components that work with the motherboard will work with OS X. enMTW fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jul 23, 2015 |
