Aqua wasn't speaking english in that guide lol i think he was tired...
I used this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...ic=160467&st=0

I'm up and running raid0 stripe...2x500 drives...I used the structure of his guide and i'm using RC4, added the kernel and dsdt to the boot partitions since he left it out in the tutorial..good boost in performance

and my drives are detected as SATA but they say external instead of internal

Thanks everybody for the guide. Because of it I managed to install SL vanilla on my EVGA x58 SLi Classified 141-BL-E760-A1.

But one problem is strange here: I cannot bot without -f flag or my netword card stop working. I'm using the RealtekR1000SL.kext on the /Extra/Extensions folder.

Without the -f flag it shows a probe error or something like that. Can someone help me?

download kext helper...should repair kext cache issues, double click it, it'll do its thing and reboot and you should be set

Thanks for a great work!! I was able to work the sleep and wake function under your guide. Thanks!

Just curious: When I forced my system go sleep by hitting sleep under apple logo on menu bar, the system goes deep sleep right away. No fan, no movement. Then, when it wakes up, the sound is not working....

But, if I just leave the system for a while and it goes sleep, yes, it is sleeping but the fans in the system still moving. When wakes up, the system can come back normal as it should be.

is it normal?

Thanks...

Thanks JaE-V. As I said I was trying to use it on the /Extra/Extensions but I placed on the /System/Library/Extensions using the kext helper, repaired permitions and rebuilded the cache, that did the job. Thanks!

if your using sleep enabler remove it its synced with the older kernel and will panic, should be good....update downloading right now. *edit* all is well, looking good geekbench is lower than before

Just updated and my sound stopped working. It seems it tries to recognize it but it fails. All the rest seems fine.

I'm modifying my case on my own, but I don't think I can help you much since I live in Brazil

I was motivated by this topic on InsanelyMac: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...showtopic=4525 There's literally tons of information there and lots of different mods about it too. Check this session and you will be amazed: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=46

About my sound issue, any ideas?
