[Guide] SNOW on Asus A8N-Sli Premium 64 bit

(UPDATED) July 27, 2010

A8N-SLI Premium 4GB with Opteron 165 working like a charm including SLEEP and wake on bluetooth.

This installation is full 64 bits except for the KERNEL by now.

• Boot from a good Leo/Snow pc.
• attach a drive (sata, ata, usb.. as you like)
• do a Chameleon 2 RC4 setup on the above storage
• perform a Snow Leopard Client-Server 10.6.2 SSE2/SSE3 Intel AMD setup, mounting the iso, with the doubleclick in the OSINSTALL.Mpkg
• Choose these AD HOC custom installs:
DO NOT INSTALL Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 (didn't tested it)
Kernel: Legacy_kernel_10.2.0
Graphics: your choice ( I got NVenabler for my 7600GS 256)
Chipset: ANV64bit nforceata avoid Supernforceata. (use kext from zip)
Audio: ALC850-AC97 (use kext from zip) Sound works in 64 bits- By now for me requires PS2 keyboard attached.
Network: Skge (use kext from zip)
SATA_ATA_Fix: IOATAFamily_SATA_Fix

Patches:
Fakesmc (now using this new version http://www.projectosx.com/forum/inde...showtopic=1206)
IOATAFamily_Fix
SMBIOSResolver
UUID
SLEEPENABLER (Select your Version) (use kext from zip)
EVOREBOOT (use kext from zip)
Dont use* Cmos Reset: ElliottForceLegacyRTC
DONT USE nForceLAN, gives problems with SLEEP"
CHECK MY DSDT FILE ADDED!!!!

Some kexts/installers included in attached file.

And one last jewel:

BIOS SETTINGS key to get good performance and avoid the spinning pizza wheel.
Peg Link mode: disabled
Peg Root Control:disabled
Peg Buffer Length: Auto.
