I also have a question regarding DSDT. I'm using the supplied DSDT from the original guide. Do you have to boot without dsdt to extract it correctly? I'm wondering because I can't compile a new one using the steps in the guide. Also, can't find Sound Azalia using ACPI search, Method DTGP already exists, stuff like that.
BTW, my firewire card works with the dsdt I'm using. (Belkin f5U503, rev s-3) |
Yes you need to boot without it.

Thanks, booting without dsdt helped. I still get 2 warnings and 2 errors though, so I need to work on it. Besides, everything works fine the way it is so I'm not too motivated :-) Also I have no idea what for example "Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)" actually does so need to look into that too.

Try using the old DSDT he posted (file dated 10/9/09 - attached here) without any changes - seemed to work for me as I was having issues with his latest one. |

I also had the 2 errors and looked at the lines giving the errors and compared that part of the DSDT to the one in the E2SL Kit. I had to change the Method (_MSG lines from Store (Local0, Local0) to Store ("Local0", Local0) because the quotes were missing in the extraction. The lines should look like below: Method (_MSG, 1, NotSerialized) { Store ("Local0", Local0) } Method (_SST, 1, NotSerialized) { Store ("Local0", Local0) After making this change it compiled without errors but with warnings. The dsdt.aml worked fine. |

As a first time Hackintosher, steps like the: ● open Audio folder and copy it to /Extra/CustomExtensions quoted above can be confusing. "it" seemed to be the Audio folder when I first read the step. There actually isn't an Audio folder, but rather an "Audio Kext" folder with two more folders inside it. So after having an unsuccessful attempt, one of the things I figured out was to take the .kext files out of the inclosed folders and put them in to /Extra/CustomExtensions. Quote:
- open dstl.dsl in /DSTL and copy the HDEF section from there into your extract It would have saved me one more failed attempt. Perhaps when you get some time, you can edit the guide. Also, see my note to simsim on the error in the DSDTSE extraction that causes two errors when compiling.... at least it did for him and me. I have a rev 2 board. Once again... thanks for all you have done. |
dsdt
Thanks Andy, adding the quotes in the extracted dsdt where you indicated made it compile without errors (still warnings). I just wonder why everybody hasn't got the same problem. I have the 1.1 version of the board and F8 Bios.
|
Glad to help, simsim. my board is Rev 2.0 with a version 6.00 Bios, so that indicates it's something else.

I had 10.5.6 working on this mobo months ago and then went a different direction for a while (linux).. pondering coming back and found this VERY impressive guide. It would appear that there are no known/remaining issues for this mobo once things are working??
thanks! Mike |
Just wanted to share my experience. I'm on a 1.1 f10 board. I had this running fine on 10.5 and decided to upgrade to 10.6. Went fine except no audio. I've been pulling my hair out for the last couple of days with no success on the audio.
Here's my tip, don't run PFIX from the finder. Run it from Terminal with sudo. I kept running it from finder and was getting feedback but it turns out it was failing to actually do anything. Works like a charm now! Thanks for everyone's hard work! |
