No, you need to have a modded DSDT, it just needs to be done right. If you're new to this stuff, I'd say use airwwalk's extra folder with his DSDT in it, but delete SleepEnabler. I think SleepEnabler was causing your original issue, and not having a DSDT the second one. Then if you find out your bios version, if it's sz2z you can also delete NullCPUPM and OpenHaltRestart and you should still be able to boot.

@banini hey I went back to my airwalk extra (without the sleepenabler - well I changed the .kext extension but I left it in there) and dsdt but I got the kp I first posted. My bios is sz50. I guess my bios is newer - what do you think of that?

EDIT: dang banini_jeque you did it! i made some edits to the airwalk extra folder - so i dropped in the original folder but put in my custom boot.plist and I booted! Wow.. what a relief to be back in my installation. Thanks for the suggestion. Now I just need to get sound working I guess and then start seeing if anything else is broken. What puzzles me is that originally I had no DSDT or airwalk Extra folder but now my system won't boot up without it! I have no idea what I did. Haha.. I'm so lost. well at least for the moment I have something to fall back on. I guess I'll copy /Extra and make changes one at a time to keep track of what I do.

About the DSDT.. I booted using airwalk's DSDT and I did not get the CMOS reset, so that's good! BUT, I noticed when I decompiled his DSDT that it only has a single entry for RTC length - whereas when I make my own DSDT and decompile it, it comes with 2 RTC length entries in two different headings - not the single "CMS" deal. What is that all about? Is it relevant?

I figure Airwalk probably deleted one of the RTC length sections since you only need one. For sound you just need the legacy kext, and then you need to either bin patch AppleHDA, or get the 10.6.2 rollback AppleHDA. If you google "perl AppleHDA ALC889" you should find the instructions to binpatch, or if you get the tonymacx86 multibeast it will have the 10.6.2 rollback in it. I got fed up with trying to make speedstep work on my SLI3, so I've now replaced it with the ASUS P6T WS Pro. I only need 3 kexts for it to be perfect.

@airwalk he was talking about a post i made about your dsdt. i noticed when i prepare my own dsdt i have 2 RTC length lines in 2 sections but yours has one RTC length section under one CMS thing. i'm curious about why that is. if i'm not making any sense let me know and i'll paste the code.

@ banini_jeque & slayer:

Well, I just switched my 2nd HDD from sata 1 to like 4 and it showed up in os x just fine. weird.

@banini_jeque nice, 3 kexts sounds nice. what does speedstep do?

i have two hard drives - an SSD and a 1.5 TB HD with an HFS+ partition on it that I formatted in disk utility. However, after my initial installation os x isn't seeing it. Any ideas what that's all about? Is it JMicron stuff?

UPDATED to 10.6.6 safely. had some minor issues with the GTX480, but i was able to fix with the nvidia official drivers. make sure to keep your AppleHDA.kext if your going to use a combo update. i was in 10.6.5 then just did the apple software update, had no issues.

@neptunet
try switching the sata cables to the bottom black sata slots. im assuming that you installed OSX in the SSD. if you plugged in the 1.5TB on the top 4 sata [ red, red, black, black ] its usually involves enabling them [jmicron]

Code:

 BIOS:E758_SZ2Z
Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz
OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla
Memory:24 GB G.skill DDR3 1333 MHz
HDD:10 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
Graphics Card:EVGA Geforce GTX480 1536 mb
Monitor:Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP Rev. A02
Audio: Onboard

@slayer great, nice to hear you got 10.6.6 running smoothly. did you try the tonymac nvidia driver update at all? i have my HDs in sata 0 and 1 - i forget what colors those are, but i think they are vertically stacked. do you know if i need any certain jmicron kexts to enable all those sata ports? i jacked my back up and i'm not looking forward to lifting my case up and changing the cables haha.

Actually got around to putting the new board in this weekend. Seems to be working fine (did a lot of testing in windows), so I started working on OS X. I basically started from scratch, a clean install. But I'm using the exact same boot setup as I was before the breakdown. Same package installer of chameleon, same boot plist and smbios, same extensions. For some reason now I'm having trouble booting, though. It's not panicing or giving me kext errors, no errors at all. Right after I choose the volume to boot, it starts loading for less than half a second and then the computer pretty much turns off. Video goes away and all the fans start running at full speed. Any ideas what could cause that? Never seen a bad kext do it.
