Hi Guys (Gals),
Thanks for the wealth of information. I'm fairly far along getting SL running on my EVGA x58 LE (e757), but have a couple of questions: I'm using the DSDT patch + LegacyHDA for audio. I haven't tested all the jacks yet, but one thing I noticed is that the main output (green jack) is labeled as "Internal Speaker" in the Sound part of System Preferences. Since the speaker isn't actually internal, is there a way to change this? (trivial issue) I'm currently using RealtekR1000SL.kext for my ethernet. Striving to become as "vanilla" as possible, should there be a way to get my ethernet working with SL's built-in drivers? Without the kext, I see this error message when booting: AppleRTL8169Ethernet: Unknown hardware version ID (28000000) AppleRTL8169Ethernet: probeHardware() failed Is this a case where I need to hack an identifier in the DSDT? Thanks!

First boot into Snow can't get past Blue screen
Guys I'm sorry but I can't figure this out for the life of me. At it now for 10 hours straight and getting weary.
The system boots fine into Leopard 10.5.2. Followed instructions to install SL into separate drive. Replaced extensions, chameleon install, etc. First boot into Snow appears to work 100% fine and then all I get is a blue screen and that's it. Tried GraphicsEnabler, netkas boot file, no resolution, 1920x1200, you name it. The screen occasionally flashes and there is occasional disk activity. MB = EVGA X58 SLI Graphics = 7300gt 512mb. In reality I don't want to use the 7300gt; have a GTX260 that I removed because I don't know how to configure the first Snow boot to work with that one. What's the solution, especially if you can tell me how to do the 260!??? Thanks, philmrmac

If anyone's thinking about answering my questions about the graphics go ahead and ignore it. Got the problem solved using GraphicsEnabler in Boot.plist.
Also need to know the correct solution to the NICs, I too have to use RTL1000 kext as the Apple one for RLT8169 gives errors at startup.

I have a evga x58 757 sli le, have followed these instructions to the t and no ethernet. I've been reading and reading and am very confused as to what to do.
Right now I think that I need a new dsdt.aml with the lan setup...but have no read clue how to do that. I've got "dsdt patcher" and have run it, which generates the dsdt.dsl file, but now what? the iasl link in the guide no longer works. I have a feeling that the dsdt.aml that comes with this guide doesn't work on this particular 757 sli le mb, but does on the other version of the board.

used this: http://www.kexts.com/view/117-realtekr1000sl.kext_32-64k_____new_update_!!.html kext and kext helper to install. I don't I had been installing the kext but not rebuilding the cache. Thanks so much for this guide, I would never, ever have been able to do this without this guide. Now, onto final cut!

http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=644 used 1.9 and the binary with the theme in it. All I had to to was copy that the new boot to /boot. Then removed platforuuid.kext and the restart kext. rebuilt cache. Removed all memory settings from smbios.plist. Restarted. Everthing came back OK, except the platform uuid changed. That because the "Platform UUID under OS X is the System-ID hashed with SHA-1. If you boot in verbose mode, Chameleon prints out which UUID is being used (UUID from SMBIOS Table 1, SMUUID from smbios.plist, or the default builtin, which is static)." (Quote from the above thread.) I don't mind b/c this is a brand new box, but it might eff up itunes and time machine a little bit. This lets me: - remove a couple of kexts (platformuuid and restart) - remove memory information from smbios.plist - have the cpu reported properly. my i7 920 was reported as unknown before, and now it is a quad core intel zeon, which for some silly reason was bothering me. so far so good. evga x58 sli le - i7 920 - egva gtx 260 - gskill 128 falcon II

Hey guys, well this is my first post and my first attempt at a hackintosh. Pretty big problem though: my hard drive won't boot.
Followed the instructions in the guide verbatim, generated my EFI string for my card, installed CHAMELEON RC4 to my EFI following their guide, etc. The one thing I noticed that seemed blatantly different from the start though, was that post-snow leo install on the drive, there was no pre-existing Extra folder or boot file. I downloaded msf5042's posted boot file on page 2 I believe, and put it in the root directory as he mentioned. Still won't boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated Edit: Hardware- EVGA X58 SLI nVidia GeForce GTX 260 6 GB GSkill DDR3 1600 Intel Core i7 - 920 Last edited by rdbram; 07-01-2010 at 10:50 PM.
