cool, good to know about the audio/LAN. Not perfect fixes but certainly easy enough to live with. I'm not too concerned about speedstepping, because I think this machine's either going to be off, or on and gaming or crunching photos. If it's not an easy fix I won't have enough time probably to do any real work on it before I need to ship it off to the owner; sorry I couldn't be more help there.
Looking back I bet I still was booting off iBoot when I had those USB issues in 10.6.5. Once I got an actual install of chameleon going I never even bothered to try again. I had actually also gotten USB3 working in 10.6.4, but can't remember which patched driver I used; do you remember which you're using? I'm going to read through the thread again this weekend probably to get through most of the DSDT stuff, but are there any notable changes you made for the SLI3 besides HDEF I should know about? Thanks |
I just followed the guides for gigabyte boards. There's a basic one on tonymacx86, and then some more really detailed ones on insanelymac. I have a post a few posts back that has mine with some other things I'm using attached, so you can take a look. The one I'm using now differs slightly from that one, but it's nothing major.
You're really bumming me out on the speedstep though. :'( |
Okay so I just want to check to confirm, is the panic that everyone else gets with bioses newer than SZ2Z when trying to load AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement at boot a type 13? Mine is, and I want to make sure everyone else is getting the same one.

Great. Thanks for all the help guys. I'm giving up now and buying an ASUS or Gigabyte even though I don't like the design. At least it will work better.

i just updated mine. no problems at all. all vanilla kext, except for some GPU files for my GTX480 which supports CUDA now and no more vsync issue.

You should make a note in the first post about speedstep not working on the X58 SLI3 or X58 FTW3, and how it only works on the other models if you use the bios version before version 44, which is of course SZ2Z. I changed my mind and haven't completely given up yet, but if I like the Gigabyte X58 G1 when it comes out I'll probably get that.

sure thing. ill just quote you

I've been looking into it more. I'm wondering if I replaced the CPU microcode in bios version 77 from EVGA with the microcode from a Gigabyte X58 board's bios if that would fix it, but I'm not sure if that's really the problem. This is a copy of my post on insanelymac:
On EVGA's website, they list these differences between bios 44, which breaks AppleIntelCPUPM support, and SZ2Z, which enables it: Quote:
1. The CPU microcode 2. The "Turbo Performance" option 3. Notice how the naming conventions of the bioses change from SZxx to just two digits. Does this mean that perhaps they did a complete rewrite and that the cause of our problem could be something unrelated to the added features in version 44? |
iasl link is broken
The link in the OP to iasl is broken. Where could one find a copy?
