airwalk you are the man we are one step away

confirming that airwalks new 64-bit method works

Couldn't get the 32 or 64 bit legacyHDA working. Guess my dsdt is different from your guys.

Audio works with Voodoo, though.

I also got my GTX295 working.

Still need to get ethernet working, but I'll have to wait on that. My ethernet died on my system board, so I'm going to have to RMA it. What's strange is I was trying all kinds of different ethernet kexts and then I booted back into Windows and had nothing. I wonder if one of those kexts somehow killed it.

if anyone interested ful ntfs support in sl 64 bit

1st remove any 3rd party ntfs drivers you installed already (like paragon ntfs check there website for uninstall instructions)


2nd enable 64 bit mode again by removing arch=-i386 from the com.apple.boot.plist in /extra folder

3rd install NTFS-3G_2009.4.4-catacombae BE sure to select customize when installing an UNCHECK MacFUSE. DONT RESTART right now

4.install MacFUSE2.1.7 http://groups.google.com/group/macfu...e55623e8b8f57?

reboot

My evga x58 sli mobo both ethernet ports work OOB...Well somewhat you need a dsdt.aml

try mine if you want to

this should get your legacyhda to work also

Did anyone ever get the JMicron working? I've got my data raid on there, and it'd be nice to access the files while in OS X.

So this will allow writing to ntfs as well as normal reading?

Thanks. I'll give it a shot when my motherboard gets here.

yes RW access to any NTFS drive/partition in 32 bit and 64 bit mode.

regarding your jmicron I do have jmicron working but I dont use RAID only set the bios to AHCI+ IDE and I have the following visible in system profile

try the attached kext in /extra/extentions and rebuild mkext
