“I am a newbie. How do i create boot 132 cd for MSI P43 NEO? You can find a lot of guides over at Insanely or I can give you a ready iso file if you have a place where I can upload an 8 Mb zip file.”

“so basicly, restore your Snow Leopard disc or DMG to a 8gb flash drive. install Chameleon, and change the boot file to the Netkas 10.4 EFI file. add any nessacary kexts. install. And the original question was this... Is it possible to insta…”

“Is it possible to install Snow without having access to a mac? Yes, you need a bootcd and a retail SL dvd.”

“mhh.. everest tells me i'm running on a MSI P43 Neo (MS-7519) and not on a Neo-F like the pakage tells me. can you explain what do do with your files in the zip? (sorry I'm pretty new to hackintosh) Then you put the dsdt.aml from this threa…”

“can u post a link to the Neo-F thread? seems like the search engine is broken Leo 10.5.6 Retail on MSI P43 NEO3 didnt work”

“May i ask u what CPU are u using with the msi p43 Neo? Because i think i tried em all (even boot with your dsdt) and still can't boot with the c-states enabled? EDIT: another thing, what method (compiler) did u use to compile your dsdt? Wha…”

“It's great to hear that MSI P43 Neo supports everything OTB, especially c_states and p_states, so speedstepping works vanilla out of the box. Can you guys confirm the same with MSI X58 platinum? The owner mentioned that everything works, do…”

“THX, done that, but still cant make it boot with the C-states enabled... maybe it depends on the CPU? Could u share your dsdt? This is pretty much as basic as can be, this board just doesn't need lot of fixes. Even ICH10 works out of the bo…”

“Thx for the tips... What do you use to update the bios (i have no floppy on this pc)? I tried with the current bios to enable the C-State but it wont boot... i will try later with the latest bios... PS: maybe the update in the CPU microcode…”

“I have the 1.9 too... OK when u get it at hand put it here please, i would like to figure out whats up with my usb weakling up thing... Got my MSI setup back today and updated bios to 1.A. That forced me to do all bios settings again and do…”

“I have MSI MS-7514 P43 NEO3 and Leopard & Snow Leopard Retail didnt working. here instalation of Leopard 10.5.6 Retail stop and I didnt know what i do next. Sry bad eng... MS-7519 is Neo, MS-7514 is Neo-F”

“Can we help me? I boot Retail with -f -v & boot132 method and works fine. In next step screen freeze in this: Direct link, if thumbnail dont work: Hardware: MSI p43 NEO3 -hdd & dvd on sata -ICH10/R -ALC888 -P43 Intel C2D e7500 Palit nVidia …”

“Would u mind to share your dsdt? What bios version are u using? I'm using version 1.9 but I don't have that machine at hand now. My sister's husband also wanted to test a Hackintosh. Now after two weeks of testing he is already planning to …”

“Me neither but if he wants to decompile and see something... Its all i can do... Yes, same here. My P43-Neo also works great except after sleep shutdown and restart no longer work. Mine wakes up nicely using usb keyboard, mouse or Apple rem…”

“Here it's all i use... PS: Works in 64bit mode too, i also got the onboard sound to work thx to mormegil... I wouldn't try to use P43-Neo dsdt on P43-Neo-F.”

“good to know that someone with the MSI p43 neo got things going. I however have no luck. i'm able to get a full running 10.6.1 retail install to my GA ep45-ds3r. and an Abit p35-Pro. both of which using Chameleon 2 + EFI 10.3. but my other …”

“Yes, at first boot, after installation If you are able to run the installer then you also have access to terminal, maybe you should try do a proper Chameleon usb stick, including the dsdt.aml that I gave to you. With that you should be able…”

“Freeze on this: :| How far did you get, is this happening at first boot after install or you can't even get to installer ?”

“Ok, all options: Ok, let's try these: 1. Essential system 2. ALC888 by Taruga (not sure about this since I use usb audio) 3. ICHx Fixed 4. Use vanilla kernel so no choices there. 5. Realtek R1000 6. Openhaltrestart and some bios from AppleS…”

“Okay, I finished flashing my mobo, i used .rom from this site: osxcores.sit e50.net/product-1.htm ( (MS)-7514v14 *P45 Neo3-F *P43 Neo3-F/FR (osxcores.sit e50.net/user/image/a7514ims-140.zip)) and whats next? Edit: Ach, i forgot. I downloade…”

“Yes i know, all my mistakes come from that i havent running Mac, only Windows : / Tommorow i download iDeneb and say whats next See if you can get started with iDeneb, if it works then we can quickly get you to retail Leo or SL”

“I havent access to Mac : / I have third hdd, maybe copy dvd with leo to him? or, what distro will work on my mobo? You can try IDeneb, use boot flag -cpus=1, that might allow you to boot without dsdt.aml. If you get IDeneb installed somehow…”

“I have a problem. When chameleon is running, I cant choose the option boot from CD, I can only select the hard drive partition that I want to run the system. By the way.even if i dont have pen drive connected to the computer, chameleon star…”

“Aha, ok. If I create Extra folder, chameleon will read files in him? Yes, that's how it works, I think the most minimal setup is to have com.apple.Boot.plist and and dsdt.aml files in Extra folder, and under that you must have Extensions fo…”

“If I create Extra folder, chameleon will read files in him? Maybe You can put modified dsdt for my mobo on your stick and share image of it for me? I can if you have access to a computer running OS X, otherwise it is useless to you because …”

“Where create it? This is how my stick looks like, this one can boot both SnowLeo and Leopard.”

“Okay, i prepare my pendrive, and Chameleon works, but i dont know what to do now with the dsdt. On the stick you need to have an Extra folder that has contents like this:”

“Shortly i check that my mobo support boot from usb. Could You tell me, where to get the bootable image chameleon? If you have a computer running OS X then I can make an image of my stick. If you don't have access to a Mac or a Hack then you…”

“But how put this file in Extra folder if the screen freeze on And lnstaller is not loaded? Maybe I need to download another distro of Leo which is modified and installer will work to prepare retail on second hdd? No need to play with distro…”

“Ok, thanks. Dsdt: mega upload.com/?d=PZMGD9UF thats it? Yes, that is it. Here you go: Put dsdt.aml file in Extra folder, and keep decompiled original and fixed one in safe place should you need to do more modifications.”

“ok, i have Everest corp edition, and what next? Where is option for export dsdt? Right click status bar at the bottom of Everest window, you should now see a menu which has ACPI tools. Open it and select save dsdt.”

“Today i will to try extract dsdt, but i found in the web modded bios for my motherboard: osxcores.sit e50.net/product-1.htm (use Ctrl+F combination and type in search box "7514") What do you think about it? Like I told you already, risk of …”

“Where to get original dsdt? sorry, im lame >. dsdt.dat. Then post that dsdt.dat here.”

“Ok, thanks, but i think that risk is too high, maybe in future i do this. Do you know what distribution will work without any problems? iPC? Kalyway? If you just dump the original dsdt from Windows or Linux and post it here then I can help …”

“refresh plz help. You need to make a dsdt.aml for your board or use a modded bios from here: osxcores.sit e50.net/product-1.htm I would not use a modded bios from that site, they are all very old now and risk to kill your board is quite hig…”
