Actually, I just got it working with voodoohda 2.56. I had tried 2.60 or 2.61 (forget which, whichever one is in MultiBeast) and it didn't work at all. It made one of the SMC kexts KP on boot. Anyway I'm pretty happy with 2.56. Sound in and all that works great. Hopefully I can figure out how to make a disabler for AppleHDA so I don't have to carefully remove it in the future. Or, hopefully a future AppleHDA will support ALC892.

Now for power management... Maybe I'll sneak into a place that sells Mac Pros with a thumb drive and copy the power management kexts when no one is looking.

Hi airwalk776 and msinfo_us,

Thank you guys so much for all the works!

I've managed to get sleep working with the files attached on page 24. But I noticed that the usb ports of my computer wouldn't work after waking up. I can actually wake up the computer by clicking mouse or pressing the power button, but once the computer is back on, the usb no longer works. I used my usb flash drive to test it, it seemed that the usb had no power after waking up.

Also, how should I set up the power management in the bios? I'm now using S3 with HPET 64bit enabled. It seems OK to me except for the usb issue.

Do you guys know how to fix it? Thanks again!

I'm having one other problem: System Profiler is reporting my graphics as x8. I only have one card (EVGA GTX 260) and it's in the first slot, although I do have a firewire card in the third full length slot.

Hmm ... I think I saw my external USB HD's after waking up from sleep but I am not 100% sure since I am not using sleep due to temps going higher after going to sleep multiple times.
You can try the following fix for your USB:

Please let us know if it worked for you and if not I think there is one more fix we can try.

The video section is not part of the DSDT posted here (not yet anyway :) I was planning to do it just did not get around to it yet). I use GFX string in my com.boot.apple for grafics for now. Perhaps you might want to check it http://osx86.co/f19/guide-geforce-gt...leopard-t4057/ . Did you try removing firewire card to see if it will make any difference?

BTW I have the same EVGA GTX 260 video card so you can try my GFX string to see if it will fix it (look at my com.boot.apple on page 24).

Thanks! I will give it a try!

Yeah I tried taking out the firewire card and it's still reporting as x8. I had the same card in my old EP45-DS3L using GraphicsEnabler=yes and it showed as x16 on there. Maybe I need to reset my bios?

Cool. Please let us know results. I've got no way to test this right now (I am at work) but to make it easer for you I compiled device (USBx) section for you to try. You should be able to just copy/paste and give it a shot. GL

I checked and my card def shows as PCIe x16. The only setting in BIOS I use Video related is video card = PCIe instead of PCI. Everything else in that section as default. Can you tell a little bit more about your system? Bios version, r u using same dsdt posted on page 24, kexts, GFX string, which bootloader, any other cards?

I reset my bios and it still says x8.

There's only one bios for the SLI 3, and thats 74 I believe.
I've got C2RC5 as the bootloader and graphicsenabler=yes (no strings or anything)
I'm not using the DSDT from page 24, but I suppose I'll give it a try.
I've got these extensions in /E/E
AHCIPortInjector
fakesmc
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
JMicronATA
NullCPUPowerManagement
OpenHaltRestart
PlatformUUID
SleepEnabler

and then in /S/L/E I have VoodooHDA

Everything else is stock. I had a firewire card in the third x16/x8 slot at first, but I took it out and like I said it still says x8 after resetting the bios too. No other cards installed. I'll give that page 24 DSDT a shot.

Before you do anything else try to disable graphicsenabler and try GFX string.

I dunno, I can't find a GFX string for it, and almost everyone else I've read who're using the GTX 260 are using GraphicsEnabler and it works perfect. That's what I used before on my old motherboard and it said x16. I ran nvclock and it says I'm "Current Rate: 8X, Maximum Rate: 16X". So, I think it's either my card, or it's some issue with the 10.6.4 drivers like some people have mentioned. I tried using LegacyAGPM and set up an iMac11,1 section with the GTX 260 section from the real AGPM's MacPro4,1 section, and it hasn't made a difference. It actually does seem like the card is running in power save mode all the time. If a launch a game, nvclock still says 300Mhz, when I should be at 626 right? At this point though I've just about hijacked this thread so I guess I ought to start a new one.

Edit: I did just try an EFI string instead of GE, and it still says x8. It's gotta be either my card or my motherboard. Obviously x8 is still plenty of bandwidth for the GTX 260, and everything else is fine, but I don't like that it's not working the way it's supposed to.

Slayer how is your new card? I was thinking of going the ati route, still on the fence

Power save mode actually does make sense. I did have this problem initially (lower clock but still x16 PCIe) and started to look dipper into it. But then when made all the necessary changes to my dsdt it magically disappeared so I did not look any farther. Here is my NVClock info if u'd like it for reference.

And you are right this does not have anything to do with this thread and there is already plenty of info on this subject.

Yeah looks just like my output but I have the 216 superclocked so some clocks are higher in mode 1 and 2, and it's definitely stuck on mode 0. I ran some stress tests and it didn't budge past 300Mhz. Is your DSDT just like the one on page 24 or does it have other stuff?

The dsdt file I posted on page 24 is still the latest and the one I am running right now.
PS FYI It is not just dsdt. It is a combination of dsdt and ssdt. There are tables/references in both and in some cases ssdt takes a priority. But most of the changes I've made are in the dsdt.

Interesting. I added the SSDT files (I don't fully understand the concept behind them, I guess just more of the same as DSDT) and put in dropssdt=yes, and now my gpu clock is at level 2 (626Mhz for me since I have the 260 superclocked :)), but, unfortunately I'm still at x8 lanes. Actually now it even clocked down to level 1 at 400Mhz, so that's good too, but STILL x8 lanes. I've got another week to return the board if I need to, and I just remembered my zotac ion has an x16 2.0 slot so I could test the card on that if I feel like tearing that machine apart to fit it on there.

The card works smoothly so far. the most important feature that i really needed is not supported which is CUDA. i was hoping CUDA worked, but im on a waiting game right now for new drivers from nvidia to leak out.

Gaming is pretty smooth so far. I just play starcraft 2 (Ultrasettings).
I just dual boot with windows 7 for video editing.

so far from reading the article in insanelymac, these are the problems: vsync problems, no cuda, openCL.

If ati cards are fully supported with no problems at all, i suggest getting an ati card for a smoother experience. My system is not really vanilla right now because of the drivers you have to install for the GTX480/GTX470.

Glad dsdt/ssdt files worked for you and you are getting full performance out of your video card.

Good info thanks, think its time for me to do a re-load with all of these new fixes implemented. Still running with strings on my 285 only game i play is call of duty so my system is overkill. I'll probably grab a 5870 when the funds line up

CD Drive Issue
 

I first want to thank you all for the wonderful information. This is truly exciting stuff.

I followed this guide, finally got sound working, but have 1 more thing that I need to fix.

I am unable to use my sata cdrom, it doesnt show up anywhere. Not sure where to start here so I'll just list my stuff

EVGA X58
i7 920
6 gigs ocz ram
nvidia gtx 280
samsung sata dvd-rw

I'm pretty sure that I have a custom dsdt.aml file, however I am not too sure.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced.

Where did you plug it in? the red sata ports? if you did just turn it on in BIOS

The drive was plugged in SATA0 (black) I moved it to the red port on the side of the board and it worked! Thank you!

Now another question: Is there a way to get my PS/2 keyboard working? I installed the voodoops2controler and am not able to use it.

it should work right away without any extra kext. idk whats happening to your keyboard

hey msinfo or airwalk you posted a dsdt change on page24 for the Audio 889 chip if I change the part in my dsdt to yours does I need any legacyHDA or modified AppleHDA kext in my extra or S/L/E folder to get sound work?, Im using atm voodooHDA kext in S/L/E but my SPDIF output supports only 2 channels not 5.1 any solution to get 5.1 work? I tried out in audio-Midi-support program but 5.1 is disabled -.-

Is there anyway to get the Fanspeed of my GTX260 from EVGA (its the SuperSuperClocked edition) to control?

(((is my english acceptable?)))

Your English is fine :)

Yes, you'll need Legacy889HDA.kext and original AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2.

There are a number of ways to get 5.1 over SPDIF. For example: Soundflower.
The easiest is probably just to install Plex and enable digital out in Plex system pref. (If you don't use Plex already try it. It is arguably one of the best media center solutions out there)
I am sure there are more ways to do it. Google is your friend.

Try this link for your Video card/fan question http://www.projectosx.com/forum/inde...showtopic=1246 and http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=228757&st=118

Everyone will have to excuse me, since I seem completely dense over taking on this task.

I have the retail Apple DVD, but looking at the guide on page 1 loses me from the first link. Am I able to just use my roommates Macbook Pro & install OSX to a Hardrive via enclosure or do I need to 1) download 10.5.2 2) Find the combo updates somehow & update them 3) once I get to 10.5.7 somehow, start using this guide?

I'm unfortunately am plague by being a specific person & am lost on which guide im using or what disks & etc. The other guide doesn't even have links, I understand google is my friend, but I need a more definite process of starting this. I know I can do it, I just need to be placed on the right path.

Overall if I can just use my roommates Macbook Pro & hook a enclosure HD up to it, that be great. I guess if I can, I just install the HD, install the DVD & start from this guide & download the needed items to be installed on the enclosure HD. If I read the other guide correctly!

edit:

Almost forgot system info:

I am wanting to get a Hackintosh on a:
eVGA X58 Micro
i920 processor
Corsair Dominator 6GB
8800GT eVGA 512mb card (apparently a decent choice starting out for this stuff)

Thanks all in advance for the help.

im not entirely sure but it should work installing it through an enclosure via macbook pro. just remember to install chameleon in the right drive path (the enclosure).

Think I will give it a shot straight from my PC. I'll just download all the combo updates from the apple support site & get it to 10.5.7 & follow the guide from there & here. Guess I'll let you know by tomorrow night how this turns out. Thanks

edit:

If I do decide to use my roommate's Macbook Pro that he just got that has the newest 10.6.4 update, should I skip the 10.5.7 section & just install Leopard on the drive I plan on using, then from there plug it into my system & move ahead with the rest of the installation?

if you use your roommates macbook pro just install snow leopard on the enclosure.

thanks msinfo_us, Plex is awesome the 5.1 sounds so great thanks you very much =)

Glad I could help :D

my pc is broken after sleep -.-
 

ok after getting the beautiful DTS sound to my reciever Im trying now to manage the correct work of the sleep function.

My pc is going to sleep (all fans off, usb off, nice and sleepy everything...) BUT after I press the power on button or the spacebar it comes up, I get my desktop back but my keyboard doesnt work and no usb device like my HDD. Here is what my kernel.log logged:

(My system is a MacPro4,1 but my boot disc was iMac dont wonder..)

My method that Im used: SleepEnabler 10.6.4 in E/E, DSDT patching the _S3(+global) and the _pwr section "One" -> 0x03, adding the Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) + device id at the USB part. Anybody fixed this problem? Thanks for every help =)

Well, I am not sure how much help I am going to be here since our systems are different. I am using native power management; no sleepenabler and such. This is going to be "apples and oranges" I am afraid. And I don't use sleep at all ... I did test it and it works. All USB devices are present and working after sleep (deep sleep is exactly like you describe).
Anyway, the only part missing in your DSDT USB section is a High Speed USB. Normally those are your external HD's ;)

Any updates as far as getting native powermanagement with newer bioses? I have the new SLI 3 botherboard, and there's no older bioses that don't support 6 and 8 core chips. Do you guys think 10.6.5 will fix this since the 2010 Mac Pros have the 6 core chips? I've been wondering if the newer builds of 10.6.4 that come with the 2010 Mac Pros and the new MacBook Airs would work too, but I can't find any torrents of them.

I don't think the problem is 6 or 8 cores but the absence of the 2 or 4 extra cores on i7 920. In our quest for native power management Airwalk and I went thru many tests and once we found that indeed having those extra empty cores is a problem we never attempted to go back to newer BIOS's to try to fix it. May be you want to give it shot? If so, please share your results.

Well, I think I'm gonna have to wait for 10.6.5 to try it again. I'm running a 950, so I would have the same problem as you, and I know I've always gotten a kp anytime I tried going native. If I can find a torrent of 10.6.4 from a 2010 mac pro or macbook air then I can try those, but I haven't had any luck, and 10.6.5 is right around the corner. I guess I could put 10.6.5 beta on a spare drive and try that.

question
 

If 10.6.5 is released, can I make a Timemachine backup, update to 10.6.5 and if it KP me, boot the install disk and go back to my timemachinebackup is this possible?
Dunno...

Just wanted to post back about my progress. After much deliberation & reviewing things, I finally went ahead with the install today with hope of joining the ranks of other fellow hackintosh members. It was a very interesting journey & after about 6 hours including (eating, bio breaks, researching, & installs) I finally have my system running 10.6.4 :cool:

Thank you slayer for the guide, I will admit I didn't use it at the beginning, but rather a tonymac method, but in the end your guide saved my ass a lot of headaches. From the right files, to the correct procedures, & even ways to edit EFI strings once 10.6.4 was installed. So credit to you slayer & other's around the net that provided information.

Now I just need to research how I go about installing a new Windows 7 type system:-/

edit 1: I'm currently running the Voodoo HDA audio kext, but my sound is static at times, or it comes & goes. I have to move around the computer & deal with the cords to get sound back, never had any issue in windows. By chance is there another kext I should look into?
Motherboard: x58 EVGA Micro

Ms_info will you please re-upload the file with the new x58 kexts the rapidshare link you hosted has reached it's limit

arghhh someone post those files lol i'm loosing blood here :p

Sure. It has latest dsdt, ssdt and kexts I am using. I did not include any additional utilities to keep it small. You can always download them elsewhere or let me know what you need and I'll upload it for you.

http://rapidshare.com/files/42953565...llCPU1test.zip

exactly what i needed thank you sir, throwing it in my drop box

@ms_info are these uploadet files for chameleon RC5? And whats the pfix (permission fix?), and whats the AppleUpstreamUserClientDisabler.kext good for?


Dont forget guys to change the serialnumber, I just found out that some apps like teamviewer does not work with same serialnumbers

Yes, I am using RC5. It works fine with AzerBLN as well.

pfix - small utility to fix permissions
AppleUpstreamUserClientDisabler - NVidia fix which we most likely no longer need.

Poop, I just updated to 10.6.5, but it doesn't help my X58 SLI 3 use native PM. It still panics without null. I even tried msinfo's newest pack unaltered. I guess now I sell this board and try to track down the older X58 SLI LE that it replaced, or a Gigabyte. I'm assuming the gigabyte boards can run a newer bios that supports more than 4 cores, and still work with native PM right? If that's the case, then why can't EVGA boards do it?

I don't know if this is impossible or even how difficult it is to get native PM on newer EVGA BIOS. Airwalk and I did not pursue any farther native PM development, DSDT and SSDT changes once we found that using older EVGA BIOS version solved our KP problem. Everything is working REALLY well so it is kind of hard to justify breaking it for the sake of testing newer BIOS when it does not really buy us anything. Is your system OC'd (try to disable it just for testing)? Did you try to generate your own ssdt files (if you want to attach them I can take a look at your values)?

Here they are if you want to look. I guess I'll start researching mods for them now.

Try replacing with these files. Please try with DropSSDT=yes and no.

Everyone updated ok? I haven't turned my system on in about 4 days

10.6.5 update was seamless. Just backup your AppleHDA before updating.
