when i get back from the gym i'll give it a shot :)

Hey just here to confirm that the sleep method works.....usb connections arent working upfront tho, ones in back are after wake...system behaves a little jumpy after wake

i noticed the usb issue as well, other than that it seems good for me

JaE-V

Did the sleep work for you with the 3.2 OC?

I still cant get this to work

I was at 3.8, didn't work for me, took it back down to 3.4

airwalk, is your board going to sleep or no?

yeah it sleep, all fans turn off .

If I press the space bar on the keyboard it starts up but blank screen

This is prob. the OC I'll try with stock settings

I use dummy overclocking switch lol..it auto'd my 2.66 to 3.2...stays after wake

Did you guys you the posted dsdt or keep your own with the sleep fix?

And i'm also in the process of setting up a raid stripe and i've noticed all my drives are detected as external in disk utility. Anyone else can confirm same issue?

JaE-V

I was thinking about doing the RAID with two WD black 1 TB but didnt get around to it yet. both drives show as USB drives? if so do you have blockstorage kext?

take a look at this :

http://aquamac.proboards.com/index.c...lay&thread=613

Aqua wasn't speaking english in that guide lol i think he was tired...
I used this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...ic=160467&st=0

I'm up and running raid0 stripe...2x500 drives...I used the structure of his guide and i'm using RC4, added the kernel and dsdt to the boot partitions since he left it out in the tutorial..good boost in performance

and my drives are detected as SATA but they say external instead of internal

Thanks everybody for the guide. Because of it I managed to install SL vanilla on my EVGA x58 SLi Classified 141-BL-E760-A1.

But one problem is strange here: I cannot bot without -f flag or my netword card stop working. I'm using the RealtekR1000SL.kext on the /Extra/Extensions folder.

Without the -f flag it shows a probe error or something like that. Can someone help me?

download kext helper...should repair kext cache issues, double click it, it'll do its thing and reboot and you should be set

Sleep/Wake Q!
 

Thanks for a great work!! I was able to work the sleep and wake function under your guide. Thanks!

Just curious: When I forced my system go sleep by hitting sleep under apple logo on menu bar, the system goes deep sleep right away. No fan, no movement. Then, when it wakes up, the sound is not working....

But, if I just leave the system for a while and it goes sleep, yes, it is sleeping but the fans in the system still moving. When wakes up, the system can come back normal as it should be.

is it normal?

Thanks...

Thanks JaE-V. As I said I was trying to use it on the /Extra/Extensions but I placed on the /System/Library/Extensions using the kext helper, repaired permitions and rebuilded the cache, that did the job. Thanks!

so 10.6.3 is out , anyone test it yet ?

if your using sleep enabler remove it its synced with the older kernel and will panic, should be good....update downloading right now. *edit* all is well, looking good geekbench is lower than before :(

Just updated and my sound stopped working. It seems it tries to recognize it but it fails. All the rest seems fine.

hey would u happen to modify those g5 cases on ur own? im currently using a cosmos 1000 but i'd like a more official look...i'd be willing to ship a case out to ya or something if applicable...send me a quote

I'm modifying my case on my own, but I don't think I can help you much since I live in Brazil :p

I was motivated by this topic on InsanelyMac: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...showtopic=4525 There's literally tons of information there and lots of different mods about it too. Check this session and you will be amazed: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=46

About my sound issue, any ideas?

I have not had a chance to update yet once I do I will work on modding the legacyHDA to work with the new appleHDA

In the mean time try voodooHDA

Ok, thanks. I'm also trying to get a 10.6.2 AppleHDA version.

lol i see i see

USB speakers FTW! lol...i got the logitech Z-cinema's

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has the updated kext for your Evga X58 board.

I just got up and running with Myhack. Everything is working except for sound. I installed the voodoo kext and the sound is working. I am running this on 10.6.3

However I have 8GB of 1600mhz DDR3 Ram that is showing up on my system as 6GB 667mhz. Anyone have this issue?

I want to get this system running as smooth as possible.

Thanks for your help.

I tried voodoo kext but still no go. Don't know if I did something wrong or just wont work :/

After 10.6.3 update sound is broken

the voodoohda must be installed in the /system/lib/extension not in /extra/extension - if you choose to use voodooHDA


as an alternative I have keep the same legacyHDA in /extra/extension and installed the 10.6.2 appleHDA and the sound is working.

I have uploaded the 10.6.2 appleHDA to megaupload

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I7E0P3NO

Look at post 1 all the files you need are there

Thanks man, that saved me. Installed and it's working great now!

I have to work on this more whne I get a chance the Ideal state would be to get applehda.kext from 10.6.3 to work and also I dont know if you noticed but the optical/digital out doesnt work.

but for now this does the trick

hello all

I was able to get sleep to work on 10..6.3 it wakes but non of the usb device work apple keyboard and mighty mouse and usb HD

any thoughts ?

umm what processor do you have? i hope you didn't buy dual channel ram if you have an i7 920...your ram should be either 3, 6, or 9 gig odd tripple channel sets

i never used the sleep fox for this issue plus erratic system behavior from wake...i wouldn't use....just my opinion

Weird error on startup after 10.6.3 update
 

I have been getting this weird error on startup after the 10.6.3 update
I have running Vanilla kernel


EVGA X58
i7 -920 3.20GHZ
6GB DDR3 1600MHZ


I have followed the guides and been running 10.6.2 forever.
I did the 10.6.3 update and whacked myself, might restore my kexts from a backup.

Got any ideas for a quick fix.

BTW...I applied the old AppleHDA 10.6.2 kext and found a 10.6.3 kext on kexts.com
- Sound was working

*** WARNING kext.com.apple.iokit.CHUDprof has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel* and com.apple.kpi* components; use only one style
- Screen locks up on boot before prompt to put my password in.

can you please post the applehda file you used from 10.6.3

thanks

obviously fakesmc is your problem, have you tried removing or updating it?

Apple HDA 10.6.3
 

Here is the file from kexts.com
- Binary patched AppleHDA.kext for ALC889

I was messing around, shouldn't have been...lol

I got the PC to boot again, however now it only boots in "-x" safe mode?

If I attempt to boot normal, I lose the video after I login in with my password.
- I see my desktop and dock load, but the screen blanks (blacks) out as if I unplugged the cable, the PC stays on and I can hear sound and use the keyboard to shut it down.

Any ideas with this one?
- I did not add any Nvidia kexts and have been using my card's EFI string in "com.apple.Boot.plist" for months now. (Nvidia 7800 GT 256MB)

Thanks.

log into save mode make a new user and log in normally with the new user. if that works one or more of your pref files might be corrupt/bad

In addition you can try to delete the pref folders (/system/lib/pref and ~/lib/pref)

Fixed
 

Apparently, I had no problem updating to 10.6.3 beside the common audio issue which was fixed with the kext I uploaded.

I installed it and then used pfix to set the permissions, disk utility, repair, and then a reboot.


However, for some reason it was picking up my second DVI output as if I was using dual displays. WEIRD, it never happened before in 10.6.2 or before....but I swapped my connection to the other DVI plug and FIXED.

I over thought that one quite a bit!
- Just an update to those with ATI or NVIDIA cards with dual display, don't think your MAC is broken, it may just be the output your connected too!

I thought I was stuck at this screen, no mouse, no login box

Thanks for all the help.

As a 1st timer I will note a few things that I encountered with my EVGA X58 Classified (E760) board. With the lasted bios installed. 1st this guide is excellent to get you a long ways. I made a few mistakes along the way and it took me about a week of 12 hour days to get me back on track. This is with reading I did along the way about dsdt's and becoming a forum member to 8 other forums, LOL.

Step 1: It says a disto of Kalyway 10.5.7 but if all you can get your hands on is a copy of 10.5.2 then that works great too. That is what I used. Don't bother trying to upgrade to 10.5.7 though, it didn't work for me and it is a waste of time. With 10.5.2 I had internet and that was excellent to download and read what I needed to without going back and for between my PC.
4. Airwalks DSDT.aml was the same as mine in everyway even though I have some different drives and more ram and different vid card.
Step 6: Is now Chameleon 2.0-RC4
I love this little program.

I confirmed that you don't need "busratio=20" in the boot.plist file. BUT you need the -x64, nothing else. To confirm once your OSx boots go to the apple, select About This Mac, select "More Info" and go to Software, in the System Software Overview it will tell you whether 64bit kernel is running or not.
Or open Terminal and copy and paste:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi

In reality you may be changing between this depends on how you want your computer to function. For example using a 64bit photographic program in 64bit mode will give you about 30% faster results. BUT as I discovered I lost 3ware Raid. My Ethernet that I had running is gone. Audio doesn't matter because that wasn't working for me anyways. It's funny because you can use a slightly different code that everyone running a regular Mac has to use anyways because every new Mac except for the Xserver's run at 32bit by default.
So in your boot.plist you enter
arch=-386 for 32bit
or
-x64 for 64 bit
or
arch=x86_64 also does 64 bit mode.

Is it worth it, I don't think so. Why? You can get more or less the same use of your RAM as long as you make sure the 32 bit box is unchecked. (see photo).

When I get 64bit drivers for my necessary stuff then I will switch.

I have a wireless Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse. I used MicrosoftMouse_d271.dmg that you can just google to find.


Another point that maybe someone can explain to me. I go into diskutility and repair disk permissions. It does and gives the all clear. Then I go to Kext Utility app and run it. Then when I go back into disk utility's it needs to fix a bunch of stuff again. This is all back to back without restarting. Which one is fixing?

He couldn't have bought DDR2 memory for a motherboard with an i7 920. Dual channel wouldn't work because it wouldn't fit.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...arison.svg.png

I see the same thing - I would trust the disk utility repair since thats an app directly from apple.

i dont think you understood what i was saying and i care not explain lol

couple questions
 

Slayer, Airwalk, etc..

Great Job!!! I am almost there. You guys rock.

I have a couple questions..

I am on 10.6.3...

X58 Classified
i7 920
6GB Corsair
GTX 285 SC 2GB

I just picked up a WD Mybook with USB/1394/ESATA

I can get it to see the jmicron and the drive itself via ESATA but cant partition or format...

Should I be able to do this?

Also I have a GTX285 SC - is there a fix for audio out via hdmi?

Hello, airwalk & everyone!

I've been greatly helped by this post and guys who are on the same ship. Really appreciate it!

Now I'm posting my dsdt approaching to work sleep mode, but it still has buggy things like KP with sound or something. I edited and added some codes on airwalk's dsdt. (good start man!). With this dsdt, you can wake up with any button on keyboard or power button, and you can use USB devices after waking up.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find out a dsdt solution for my OCed i7 920 enabling speedstep, I'm just using Nullcpupwrmng.kext and Sleepenabler.kext. I'm not so sure about integrated sound cause I have envy24ht pci-card and got the sound option disabled on bios.

1. Here's a bios setup for getting sleep n wake.

[powermanagement setup]

ACPI func [Enabled]
ACPI type [S3]
run VGABIOS if s3 resume [off]
USB KB wake-up [enabled]
HPET [enabled & 64bit]

Things not listed is 'whatever'

2. As above, all kexts I have in E/E are

Nullcpupowermanagement.kext
SleepEnabler.kext
fakesmc.kext

That's it. Strongly believe that someone could decrease the number as 1.

3. Add this line in your com.apple.boot.plist
(Chameleon Bootloader rc4, PC-EFI 10.6 by netkas)

<key>RestartFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>

That's not related sleep issue but it is necessary for restart and shutdown working.

Please test and give me any feedback!

PS. Just in case you fail to boot, make a rescue CD or something BEFORE applying a new dsdt! n sorry for my bad Eng. :)

X58 Update to 10.6.4
 

I have updated to 10.6.4, once again the sound breaks.

I kept my legacyhda.kext in the /Extensions/Extra folder and found the updated AppleHDA for 10.6.4.
- I removed the Apple HDA.kext file from the Apple 10.6.4 update (S/L/E)
- Dragged "my" AppleHAD for 10.6.4 over kext utility.
- Ran pfix and disk utility to repair permissions (may not be needed)

Sound is back up and running on 10.6.4

NOTE: Our board has the Audio ID: 889, do not download the other kexts for 887 or 888. I don't believe that they work.

I couldn't attach it because it was too large, please let me know if anyone needs it and I will upload it to megaupload,etc.

Happy Updating...all seems the same with the update

Can someone update the Guide to update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4? I'd like to make the update but I'm kinda lost and I'm afraid to lost my install.

I would also ask if anyone could upload the Apple HDA 10.6.4 to a megaupload or so for everyone.

ill make the changes soon. im still in 10.6.2, ive been busy lately. ill have to refresh my mind on how to do this thing again. it'll be modified in a couple of days when i buy my extra hardrives.

I would also like this as well :)
