[GUIDE] EVGA X58 Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.6 (10J567) Installation

[X58-Agility]

I have a wireless Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse. I used MicrosoftMouse_d271.dmg that you can just google to find.


Another point that maybe someone can explain to me. I go into diskutility and repair disk permissions. It does and gives the all clear. Then I go to Kext Utility app and run it. Then when I go back into disk utility's it needs to fix a bunch of stuff again. This is all back to back without restarting. Which one is fixing?

He couldn't have bought DDR2 memory for a motherboard with an i7 920. Dual channel wouldn't work because it wouldn't fit.

I see the same thing - I would trust the disk utility repair since thats an app directly from apple.

Slayer, Airwalk, etc..

Great Job!!! I am almost there. You guys rock.

I have a couple questions..

I am on 10.6.3...

X58 Classified
i7 920
6GB Corsair
GTX 285 SC 2GB

I just picked up a WD Mybook with USB/1394/ESATA

I can get it to see the jmicron and the drive itself via ESATA but cant partition or format...

Should I be able to do this?

Also I have a GTX285 SC - is there a fix for audio out via hdmi?

Hello, airwalk & everyone!

I've been greatly helped by this post and guys who are on the same ship. Really appreciate it!

Now I'm posting my dsdt approaching to work sleep mode, but it still has buggy things like KP with sound or something. I edited and added some codes on airwalk's dsdt. (good start man!). With this dsdt, you can wake up with any button on keyboard or power button, and you can use USB devices after waking up.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find out a dsdt solution for my OCed i7 920 enabling speedstep, I'm just using Nullcpupwrmng.kext and Sleepenabler.kext. I'm not so sure about integrated sound cause I have envy24ht pci-card and got the sound option disabled on bios.

1. Here's a bios setup for getting sleep n wake.

[powermanagement setup]

ACPI func [Enabled]
ACPI type [S3]
run VGABIOS if s3 resume [off]
USB KB wake-up [enabled]
HPET [enabled & 64bit]

Things not listed is 'whatever'

2. As above, all kexts I have in E/E are

Nullcpupowermanagement.kext
SleepEnabler.kext
fakesmc.kext

That's it. Strongly believe that someone could decrease the number as 1.

3. Add this line in your com.apple.boot.plist
(Chameleon Bootloader rc4, PC-EFI 10.6 by netkas)

<key>RestartFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>

That's not related sleep issue but it is necessary for restart and shutdown working.

Please test and give me any feedback!

PS. Just in case you fail to boot, make a rescue CD or something BEFORE applying a new dsdt! n sorry for my bad Eng.

I have updated to 10.6.4, once again the sound breaks.

I kept my legacyhda.kext in the /Extensions/Extra folder and found the updated AppleHDA for 10.6.4.
- I removed the Apple HDA.kext file from the Apple 10.6.4 update (S/L/E)
- Dragged "my" AppleHAD for 10.6.4 over kext utility.
- Ran pfix and disk utility to repair permissions (may not be needed)

Sound is back up and running on 10.6.4

NOTE: Our board has the Audio ID: 889, do not download the other kexts for 887 or 888. I don't believe that they work.

I couldn't attach it because it was too large, please let me know if anyone needs it and I will upload it to megaupload,etc.

Happy Updating...all seems the same with the update

[FabricioGS]

Can someone update the Guide to update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4? I'd like to make the update but I'm kinda lost and I'm afraid to lost my install.

I would also ask if anyone could upload the Apple HDA 10.6.4 to a megaupload or so for everyone.

[xxxslayeriiixxx]
