I kind of got lost in there, maybe you should be clearer.
What I understood was the following:
You COULD install OS X.
You CAN'T boot it to extract the DSDT.
You AREN'T sure how to out CPU info from IST into the DSDT, using Ubuntu.

If this is the case, I have to point something out to you first: the point of booting os x with iBoot or EmpireEFI is to have a "clean" DSDT (as in BIOS default) to start editing. And to be able to install kexts and stuff.
Do you have and i7 920? If so, I can just pass on a DSDT that I made for another ASRock x58... user, from which I removed all my system specific info except for CPU PM.
I'll attach it but BEWARE: USE IT ONLY WITH AN i7 920. IT COULD HARM YOUR RIG IF USED WITH ANOTHER CPU.
FakeSMC.kext & SMCITEController.kext go in /S/L/E/ and the rest go in /E/E/. Remember to run kext util to rebuild caches when done. The DSDT goes in /E/E/ (or anywhere you specify in your com.apple.boot.plist. Do make sure you have this one right, otherwise nothing will work. I'll attach mine for your reference.
Also note that if you move chaemaleon to USB or something, you will have to edit com.apple... with things like hd(0,2) to hd(0,1), etc. Google this.
Cheers, Adrian.

Okay, things are really moving now!

Yes, I do have an i7 920.

Using the DSDT and the kexts you posted with Chameleon 2 RC5_pre8, I can boot just fine. And, I'm now 5 degrees cooler at idle and an astounding 20 degrees cooler at full processor usage!

So, now I'm fully updated to 10.6.4 with working audio. For some reason, though, the input/output devices listed under Sound in System Preferences are all in German:


In System Profiler, they have English names:


Any idea on how to get rid of the German?

Hello, I am sorry to ask you a question
If I want to use iBoot Multibeast guide to install Snow Leopard 10.6.3
Can I use you to do ASROCK DSDT published here for the installation of Multibeast USER DSDT?
(My motherboard is ASRock x58 Extreme3, display card is ATI 4830 & 5830) 5830 ---> still not working successfully
As I recently learned of the optimization system on the DSDT information
Before that I did not know about the DSDT, there Multibeast USER DSDT function.
Just random google MAC OSX86 related GUI

Yes you could, IF WE HAD THE SAME MB, lol. Your's is an Extreme3, mine is plain old Extreme. So no, you can't. The DSDT's are similar, I think, but I can't guarantee they'r the same or that mine will work well on yours. If you want to try it, go ahead, but do it at your own risk. The worst case is you probably get a KP. Make sure you use the right kexts.

Hello
Will your DSDT only work with a default settings bios, so that i would have to reset my bios, or does it also work if i have changed some settings?
thanks

It will work with non default settings. Actually, you have to have changed some settings, otherwise it won't work. But they have to be the right ones . Check back in the thread, I think there's a link to a video on setting up the BIOS.

Hmm really i cant seem to find the settings for the bios.
My idea would be to make a usb key with the sl install disc, chamelon rc5 and your kexts and dsdt.
Also what version of the bios is that dsdt made for?

Hello. I don't know if anyone is still following this thread but hopefully someone will be able to offer some help. I've had what amounts to a cluged version of an almost exact same system in this thread running 10.6.x - CPU, GPU and RAM being the main differences - for almost a year and would really like to have a DSDT setup instead of just the bunch of KEXTs strung together that I currently have. While I've been working with systems for years and am pretty decent with the hardware side, troubleshooting software installs & system errors, I feel I'm in a bit over my head trying to understand some of the ins & outs of fine-tuning a Windows box into a Hackintosh, especially where DSDTs are concerned. It would save a LOT of time and grief to simply copy adriangb's file but as I have an i-930 in my x58 Extreme, I don't think I'd have the same results. I DO have a copy of the guide and am going to go over it so that I can understand it better in hopes of figuring out how to tweak the DSDT to fit my system but if anyone can offer some pointers before I do, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance
(System specs below)

ASROCK x58 Extreme (2.80 BIOS)
MSI Twin Frozer GTS-250 (1GB)
