LAN operation on 758-A1
Followed this guide to the T, even using the dsdt from the thread and kexts... I have since been unable to get the ethernet on my motherboard to operate...

Slayer, you mentioned only the HDA had issues running out of the box... did your ethernet work fine immediately?

I found this quite odd since it worked right out of the box in 10.5.2 before updating to 10.5.7

Worked out of the box for me, you might want to create a DSDT file from scratch. Also, look at airwalks link in his audio fix and download the file he talks about with a LAN DSDT patch, that might work for you

I cannot really follow that guide as IORegistryEntry shows no entries for a LAN card...

In fact, I reinstalled fresh from kalyway then to 10.6 and throughout the whole process OS X did not detect a ethernet card, at any point.

Could someone be kind enough to go into IORegistryEntry and look for their lan card as described in the guide airwalk posted? I don't think i'm crazy...

Before I fresh-installed, it would tell me "Not Connected" for both ethernet ports, and now they just don't show up at all.

I am using a 758-A1 board.

i also used this method to update to Lion. i had some trouble at first, but after 30 minutes of messing around, i figured it out.

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/...-107-lion.html

i had these files in my extra folder before hand in snow leopard: http://osx86.co/attachment.php?attac...6&d=1289193581
(if you use this, remember to cater it to your own hardware such as the graphic card string in the boot.plist)


i installed multibeast first to change to mac3,1 since i couldnt install lion with my mac11,1 profile.

After Installing Lion from appstore and rebooting, i installed multibeast again to change my bootloader and other stuff.

I used multibeast with these options checked:

system utilities
Chimera v1.5.4 r1394
PCI configuration fix
changed system definition to macpro 3,1
osx86 software

Then i just followed step 2 to 4 from the link above. i had some trouble booting the installer partition, so what i did was: put a nullCPUpowermanagement kext (google) in the boot drive partition (kext folder) and i also copied the extra folder to the installer partition. I dont know if it was the nullCPUpowermanagement.kext in the kext folder that made it work or putting the EXTRA folder in the "installer" partition. After installing Lion, i updated my kext with JaE-V's kext folder: http://www.mediafire.com/?pfd015z2rqpg4g0 (Just the kext folder, not the whole EXTRA folder)


*really messy way to install Lion...., but im just posting to remind myself next time if i mess up my install.

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

Looks like 10.7.2 broke my system, i'm getting the black screen. I know its video. Slayer if you could post your dsdt and boot.plist if you got the update installed i'd greatly appreciate it. Apparently mine isn't doing the trick.

wassup! the solution is simple. You need to generate a new gtx285 string. btw im A_RocC on Insanelymac

When you get the files from aquamac for your GTX285, change the in.plist before you generate your EFI string.

I just followed this method.

THX goes to zoliky for the fix!

I've used the fix to edit my plist and was able to generate a new EFI String thats now working like before and backwards compatible!

A short guide:
Locate the following section in your in.plist or what ever you called it:


Replace NVDA,GeForce with NVDA,Parent.

Generate a new EFI String and insert it into your org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

That's it!
and if you integrated your gfx string into your dsdt heres the solution (basically the same as the first)

Black Screen FIX (DSDT Injection):

Replace:

Quote:
"device_type"
Buffer (0x0D)
{
"NVDA,Geforce"
}

with:



Quote:
"device_type"
Buffer (0x0C)
{
"NVDA,Parent"
}
PS. My iCloud and Appstore does not work. I've tried different bootloaders already. Ive tried deleting my network preferences, and ive tried modifying my smbios.plist. Nothing is working!!! If someone can also try to help figure this out, itll be greatly appreciated. Ive been pulling my hair trying to get this to work because i just recently got an iPhone 4s.

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

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

BIOS is properly configured... I just did a BIOS update... both ethernet adapters are "Enabled"

I have tried "Disabling" both, booting, rebooting, "Enabling" and booting... No luck. LAN Boot Rom also seems to make no differance.

It appears the ports are fine, the LEDs on both jacks light up... I don't have windows on this machine yet so I can't say much more than that since I'm still waiting on my 7 disc to arrive... I think i'll install a copy of xp x64 tonight that I have laying around and see if it works... it should...

very confusing. I read somewhere round here that the mac os cannot "initialize" the ethernets if they get shut down for some reason and you need to set some sort of wake on lan thing in windows.... it could be unrelated. I would ifgure disabling and reenabling would fix this.

edit: Strangely enough... Mac OS is detecting my serial port as an ethernet connection... It didn't do that before.
