Hi guys,

Me again, I am once again trying to install SL on my machine, have followed the guide by the letter (used a mac to install through os) and extracted and fixed the dsdt but every time I go to boot it just restarts, I have used Wait=Yes to try debug it, the last line it gets to is loading darwin x86_x64 and then when I press enter it restarts instantly, no KP, warning or anything...

Should I revert my bios setting back to default as I am running it at 4.2ghz at the mo (980x) but have. Made sure everything is AHCI (should I be using intel or jmicron sata ports?)

Anyone that has ever had this problem let me know, would help a great deal.

Myles

Also, I the only thing I have changed from the last time I did this (when it kind of used to work) was the bios, I have also then redone the dsdt to match this, though it shouldn't make a difference as long as the dsdt is patched.

I'm probably doing something very elementary wrong?

What bios and boot-loader are you running? Sure you followed the steps exactly? Shouldn't have a problem....


Anyone else tried the 10.6.8?

Latest BIOS with Chameleon RC5Pre12... seems to me the latest BIOS may have broken it :/

Followed the instructions to the letter.

doesn't get much easier than that...you'll need to delete that appleTyMCE driver *for system to boot* and use your old IOnetworking file from snow as well as a the new voodoohda or etc. if need be. I have an updated extra's folder if anyone needs it for lion..you'll need the new fakesmc

Guys I have had a working system for the longest time.

SL 10.6.6
EVGA X58 Classified
GTX 285 2GB SC
6GB Corsair

My GTX 285 died. I have an XFX Radeon 5850...

Naturally I cannot boot my system. What would be the easiest way to boot it with this card?
