I have gotten my ethernet working!!!!

Using this kext created by bit shoveler
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...post&p=1303203

as well as modifying my DSDT, I have managed to get online and running... VERY happy. I would gladly donate my DSDT to the cause.

the DSDT is edited and set for the EVGA x58 758-A1 with both ethernet adapters added to the DSDT. Processor is a i7 920, 12gb of DDR3 1600

Keep in mind bit shovelers KEXT is a debug testing file, it generates a log file so it is a little sluggish... but it works!!!!!

Hahahaha, this is the FURTHEST from my area of expertise. I am not a native mac user and I just started when I got a macbook 5 months ago. This is ALL very new to me, especially the unix stuff.

I just tried a dozen things and kept googling until I found a solution!!

sleep however... it seems to be a common issue through 10.6

My audio works fine with the VoodooHDA kext... install it using kexthelper 7 with the snow files... 64 bit kernel extensions and all.

Funny though, my realtek hd audio does NOT work in windows 7... lol

We are trying to figure out 64-bit audio without voodoohda. Same problem here in windows 7.

Ok msf5042 I tried installing SL following the guide and using ur files and I'm stuck again but this time the OS boots but it will stay on the Apple Logo with the circle loading and it just keeps doing it. I gave up hope a week ago until today that i was reading your specs and I have the same but with a Radeon HD 4850 512 and 6 Gb of ram. Any idea what could it be the problem?

you aren't using my com.apple.boot.plist because you still aren't in verbose mode if you are seeing the circle loading, boot in verbose mode (-v in boot file or at boot prompt) to help you debug and see where you get stuck, post the results back here

I followed this tutorial and used slayer's dsdt file and proceeded to step 8 where I tried booting to the snow leopard hard drive. Unfortunately, it hangs on this error:
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start – waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPower Management) timed out

Here are my system specs:
Mobo: eVGA x58 Classified 141-BL-E760-A1
CPU: Intel i7 920 - 2.66GHz
RAM: Corsair 6GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX295 1792MB

I prepped this drive on my MacBook running 10.6.1 through a SATA to USB enclosure.

Any ideas?

I was getting that for a while too, are you sure you have a compatible solution for your GPU?

JaysFreaky · #10 11-07-2009, 08:52 AM

Honestly, I'm not sure. I haven't found anything for my GPU online, except for a French site. It had an EFI that I used.
