Hi again. Thanks so much for your work on the AD2000B with this board! I followed your directions and finally have sound working. Although I haven't tested recording or any other I/O. I'm using the non-HDAEnabler method with your DSDT.

I also tested your scenario and get the same results; shutdown/restart/sleep all work except when shutting down or restarting after sleep. On my system it looked like all processes exited fine but then it just "hang" at a black screen with the case/cpu/gpu fans still idling.

I'm willing to test any other ideas... This sleep/restart issue is a hassle but frankly right now I'm just happy to have the rest of it working Once again I'm on 10.5 not 10.6 yet.

One question: Are you started from a scratch SL install or from Leopard? I'm start playing now with this incredible board and I need some little help: have you used The Script fo x58 boards?
Thanks in advance.

i too would like to know your method of installing it onto the gene, as im having issues installing leopard so i can make some files to even start installing snow, as i dont have access to a mac to make anything.

im curious how you installed snow as well like what settings were used for the bios and if you used a leopard install what distro did you use, as ive so far tried iatkos v7 and it just hangs at the apple boot logo, and does nothing,

if possible maybe a link to a full iso thats ready to install on my gene?

id like to just even be able to boot to desktop, and id be happy

I'm working on a retail install guide for the Gene. I'll post it up here as soon as I get a chance.

Asus Rampage II Gene Rev 904: Intel Core i7 920 3.2GHz, 6 Gb DDR3 RAM, Apple OSX 10.6.1 Snow Leopard

I started from scratch (although I do have a MacBook which I used to format the USB drive and write the image of the retail DVD to it, install Chameleon, etc.). There appear to be some really well-regarded scripts for the X58 boards available, but I have yet to try them.

Sure, my pleasure, although the credit for getting sound working via AD2000B really lies with others. I still haven't had any luck in getting restart to work after sleep, but I'm still working on it .

k cool looking forward to it, i guess ill need to borrow my cousins mac to get sl on my gene because installing iatkos v7 isnt working for me itll just hang there at the apple grey screen


did you also update your bios to 0904? or did you get yours that way, because im still on the original 0404 bios, do you think ill need to update it?

Many thanks for the reply and for time you spend on guide making.
This weekend I'll work on the gene and I'll post here my experiences.
Thanks again

Hi guys just chiming in... I upgraded SL from a vanilla Leo install. I cheated though, booting and installing it with a USB>SATA adapter in my Macbook. I also used digital dreamers X58 mobo script for Leo and the kexts/dsdt on this thread for SL. Also I'm using the 0904 BIOS and getting like 11000+ points in Geekbench 64 when OC'd to 3.4 GHz

Hi... I'm still trying to install SL from a SATA>USB restored DVD partition from about 12 hours... I need some help, guys... just to make a step forward...
My situation:
1) Rampage II gene 0904 -> AHCI -> JMicron disabled
2) Restored a partition on USB disk with SL DVD -> installed Chameleon 2 RC3 on it -> replaced boot with PCEFI 10.5 -> added kexts and dsdt.aml from this 3d in Extra
3) Start booting from USB and everything works until the gray screen with mouse cursor..

I've tryed with -v -x32 but the only failed action was AppleSMBusPCI

Thanks everyone...
