I went head & updated 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 & upon reboot I got message stating "I need to reboot my system holding down the power button". I get this everytime now & no one else seems to be having the same issue as me so I'm lost as to what I need to do.
Thanks in advance.
evga x58 micro
evga 8800gt
i7 920
using newest chameleon bootloader build.
Edit: Found my issue, VooDooHDA no longer wants to play nice with 10.6.5, the only issue is that I no longer have sound. If anyone has a working ALC889 combo that could work on my eVGA x58 Micro mobo, can you please host it or post where I can get it from. A specific guide on installing it would be helpful as well...thank you.
Edit x 2: So for anyone future reference using the eVGA Micro x58 motherboard. If you're using the VoodooHDA kext, with updating to 10.6.5 it'll pretty much wreck your OSX into KP mode. You'll want to remove it completely from your system via Safe Mode if you haven't before installing the update. This does mean no sound for the time being, but below I have a method that you can try to use that worked for me.
1) Download TonyMac's Multi-beast
2) Open Multi-Beast
3) Go through the Prompts until you can see the easy DSDT & User DSDT & etc.
4) At all those check boxes, Go down the boxes until you see Advanced Options & select
5) Should see (Audio, network, & various other things)
6) What you want is Audio of course
7) With using the eVGA x58 Micro motherboard we have the ALC889 Codec
8) Check boxes LegacyHDA889, HDAEnabler889, & 10.6.2 Apple.HDA Rollback
9) Install all three, should be successful.
10) Close Multi-beast - Open Disk Utility > Select OSX Drive > First Aid Tab > Repair permissions > Close DIsk Utility > Restart > Test Sound
Using this method got me updated to 10.6.5 which updates the Apple.HDA audio kext anyways, so VoodooHDA basically kills the system. Anyways, I went from 10.6.5 & no sound , the new update & with sound. Hope this helps even one person.
