HCL 10.5.8
From OSx86
|
This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.5.8 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

Install Method: iAtkos 10.5.7 + Chameleon 2.0 RC2 r 640, then Apple registration, do not reboot yet, then repair permissions, then reboot, then 10.5.8 update from HAL. First 20 tries: I could not make it work. Secret=Fully read Iatkos welcome screen. Secret=if unsure, leave the install package unselected, fail, read the logs & try again. Tried Netkass latest cutie booty, and funny "bag of hurt" says I have to upgrade my firmware. (Netkas is the best). Note: For some reason, If during registration the user creates no password, everything fails. I could not find any InsanelyMac references to this issue. If you transfer settings it fails. Do not Time Machine or fails.

Follow instructions in the 10.5.7 HCL entry, then update through Apple Software Update. After rebooting, the system may hang of reset during bootup. This is normal. Boot iATKOS DVD and reinstall all the patches (no boot loader, core system or post-install actions) you installed with 10.5.7 (in the 10.5.7 HCL entry). |
| No, audio inputs do not work. |

Installation:
After Software Update 10.5.8: After update apple did not boot properly, so I did put the iAtkos v7 dvd in drive and in customize installation:
Regarding power-off issue I installed openhaltrestart.kext but it did not work. I had a hunch since I dual boot with XP there were two NTFS partisions that automatically mounted on Leopard startup so I searched and I learned about /etc/fstab file and after adding noauto to my ntfs UUIDs leopard shut-downs okay. You can also see it here fstab. Restart never fixed still I use hard reset. | Yes (Chameleon 2.0 dual book with XP) | Yes (soft restart does not work) |

| MSI 8400GS 512MB | MSI GeForce 8400GS 800MHZ 512MB 1.4GHZ DDR2 PCI-E DVI VGA | Install with iDeneb 1.6 10.5.8 lite, select nvinject 0.2.1 for 512mb cards. And it works out of the box. DVI and VGA. I am running it with DVI to HDMI cable since my Monitor only supports VGA and HDMI. Full QE/CI. LINK TO THE CARD: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=38855&vpn=NX8400GS-D512EH&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar | Supported | All resolutions | Out of the Box with nvinject 0.2.1 |
| 8800GT 512MB | captiva | Used NVInject 0.2.1 512MB | Supported | All resolutions supported by the card are working. | DVI and VGA working/+ dual screen work, thi is a best graphic card for your hackintosh !!! |
| 8800GTS 320mb | Evga | Used Nvdarwin 1.2.5 320mb (I installed with nvinject however if i changed display properties, display would freeze. Inserted nvdarwin kext and deleted the nvinject and rebooted. Worked like a charm) | Supported | All resolutions work. Dual displays work. | Patch with nvdarwin 1.2.5 320mb and will be set |
| 7800GTX 256MB | BFG | Used NVInject 0.2.1 256MB | Supported | All resolutions supported by the card are working. | Both DVI output are working, didn't tried video in or video out using dongle. |

| GeForce 7900 GT 512MB Sonic | Palit | 1) Darwin bootloader detected only 256MB so I had to update ROM as described here (I didn't use the one from ROM repositoty because it differed a lot from the one I dumped from my video card, so I just changed 4 bytes myself according to the instruction).
2) After that OSX successfully booted with any of (and I guess any other) NVdarwin and NVinject (check that IOProbeScore is set to 0 in Info.plist) - had to do this step to be able to do the next one since I couldn't boot even in safe mode without injectors. You may stop here if you like, HW acceleration is already supported, but I like EFI way more, so here is the next step. 3) Used OSx86Tools to add EFI string and removed all injectors. | QE/CL Supported | All resolutions | Yes, and dual monitor as well |
