I've heard a lot of windows users having issues with S3 sleep on our board too. If you have overclocked your cpu then forget about it.

The latest bios version (SZ2Z, release about 3 weeks ago) adds HPET to our BIOS. Maybe it will help us.

I wish that there was source code for netkas' 10.6.2 sleepenabler...

i7-965 / EVGA x58 / Radeon HD 4870 1 GB / 12 GB DDR3 @ 1600mhz / Snow Leopard

For some reason I lose my video signal everytime the boot process ends (-x -v). It looks as though it loads successfully but then i immediately lose the signal to my monitor. I followed the tutorial to the letter and specs are :
EVGA x58
Core i7 920
12GB DDR3
2x GTX 285 OCX
Velociraptor 300gb for Snow kitty

Any help is appreciated. I've run 10.5.7 on this setup before but Snow is giving me a run for my money.

stop reinstalling and work on a fix for your graphics card.
do you have graphicsenabler set to yes in the com.apple.boot.plist?
did u try an efi string?
maybe try replacing the chameleon boot with pc efi and see what happens. if that doesn't work switch back i would switch back to chameleon and consider removing one of the graphics cards, getting the system working with one, and the plugging away to get both of them working....

Firstly, thanks for the reply!
I have graphics enabler set to yes, i actually just moved on to trying out pc efi, if that doesn't work i'll try 1 vid at a time

Nothing new yet. redid the EFI string and verified it with DD's script just in case, made my own dsdt.aml, still no dice. I saw on another website that someone had this issue with their ATI video card, even though i have nvidia i tried their fix (one monitor with hdmi/dvi connector and one with dvi) still no go. Tried one monitor at a time and one card at a time also. continuing my never-ending google search for answers, this install will not beat me!

Update: I just switched from not having a signal to having a signal but no picture, baby steps, but progress!

Update: Success! Used Enabler for Nvidia from netkas and redid efi string. Registering now and will update 10.6.2 asap. Thanx for the guide xxxslayeriiixxx and for the help msf5042

Another happy customer. Everything worked great. Only problem I had was because I installed the graphics card drivers that came with Kalyway, which was causing problems when it was trying to boot. Once I deleted all the drivers everything worked fine.

Yay!

No

Use superduper to clone the drive, then change to the new UUID in com.apple.boot.plist, then install the boot0 and boot1h as per the chameleon installation instructions.

After modifying my boot file with GUI set to "Yes"

I am getting stuck here. I already changed my UUID and removel sleepenabler.kext

Everyone,

Thanks for all the valuable information. I got it all fixed up and bootable.
Runs like a dream on the i7, I may never go back to Windows again.

Here's what needed to be done:

1.) Took my bootable USB flash drive and cloned it with SuperDuper to my SATA hard drive.

2.) Updated my UUID in the com.apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist files in the Extra folder.

3.) Loaded the latest Chameleon, Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684.

4.) Removed UUID Plaform.kext, was causing an issue.

5.) Update com.apple.Boot.plist to boot my "disk1s2" hard drive because my Windows drive was trying to load first.

6.) Set GUI to "YES" so that I can select between Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
