I built a very nice fully working hackintosh a while back and it's great - had to patch the dsdt and do a few other tweaks. Learnt a lot about Mac's and hacking (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=233136#) :-)
Now trying to build a new better Hackintosh on a asus P5Q MB with Q6600 CPU and 8800GT video.
I'm nearly there, everything works but the sound - ioregexplorer can't find my audio chip.
A few more details - I have the 2002 Juzzi bios dated 03/04/2009. I'm triple booting XP, Ubuntu and SL 10.6.4
The audio works fine in XP and Ubuntu - the chip gets reported as an ALC888 (not ALC1200 as per the MB spec). So I guess the patched BIOS is ok.
I've extracted the DSDT while in Ubuntu and de-compiled it - no obvious sign of HDEF.
On my original working Hackintosh the HDEF shows under AppleACPIPCI as HDEF@1B - no sign of anything like that on the new machine.
I'm running Chameleon RC3 fully installed but suspect it might be ignoring my patched DSDT - but should IOregexplorer find the HDEF chip with or without a patched DSDT ?
What am I missing here ?
Do I need to do anything to make sure Chameleon takes notice of my patched DSDT ?
BTW - posting this from my nearly perfect new Hackintosh :-)
Thanks again guys (I hope)
