hi. ok, i didn't know that is possible ... i've read that but i thought that is a kind of reverse engineering and a point of failure.
is the version i use of your dsdt already with speedstep support? btw: i'm totally patient right now ... so i really can wait until you have again access to your system |

I don't know what version you'r using, but use MSRTools to check.

What might not be possible? Checking speed-stepping with MSRTools?
Or uncomplying? As far as I know you can just download http://www.osx86.es/Archivos/DSDTSE.zip and open DSDT.aml's with that. |

Great post!
I've been struggling for days trying to get MAC OS X to start working by playing around iAtkos v7 and all those snazzy softwares. None of them ever worked for me because I always end up in Kernal Panic. :[
I stumbled upon this post today hoping that this will definitely help me out because of the similar motherboard. You should totally make a simple step by step tutorial for all the ASRock x58 Extreme Motherboard users out there! You'll be my hero haha Last edited by roi; 03-12-2010 at 06:39 AM. |

As I said, I will, but since the secret is in the DSDT edits, I'd have to "retrace" my steps, trying to "guess" all the changes I've made!

Hi there.
I have finally a S.L. X.6.2 installation on my second drive. Sound is working and also wifi is recognized. My only BIG problem is that I need to use the Empire efi CD, without no way to boot. My step by step install from the first X.5.8 drive: 1- Guid partition with Disk utility 2- Snowleopard install from a .dmg 3- Boot with Empire efi i5 4- My hack 1.0 5- Adriangb DSDT on the Extra folder and some kext 6- Pfix 3.0 After that I have a working system, I just need the video kext but I'm sure that the Natit.kext is what my Nvidia need for working. About the boot.plist I'm not sure I have the right one, or I maybe need to change some thing. Thank you for any help. |

Adriangb
definitely, can you post again your Extra folder? I think the only two differences from your configuration, are video and Wifi. Anyway thank you for your helps! |

As others have said, great thread. I've got the ASRock X58 Extreme / i7 920 combo like the rest of you.
I've been messing with this for a couple of weeks and have learned a lot, but I still don't have a working rig. Taking all of what I've just read into mind, though, I think I should be able to use adriangb's dsdt file with myHack to give it another shot today. With the dsdt file, I've looked at it with DSDTE but I really have no idea what I'm looking at. It should basically work me, but I'm wondering about my Graphics card. How can I insert the EFI string for it? The graphics card is a BFG 8800 GTS. Right now I'm running 1.8 BIOS because I simply cannot update using InstantFlash. I've formatted my thumbdrive with FAT32 like ASRock recommends, but InstantFlash refuses to recognize the 1.9 update file. I'll try to send a problem report to ASRock to see if they can suggest anything. What has been decided are the best BIOS settings? Adriangb, would you mind taking photos of each BIOS page? That would be really beneficial. And, Joeboxer, you might be able to use the Lifehacker Snow Leopard Guide as an idea for booting without Empire. Specifically, the last paragraph: Quote:
