Can also confirm update to 10.6.4 went fine using CruiSAr's install.

 

Quick note to those with Mail extensions, Mail has been updated. If your extension doesn't have an update yet, you can follow this, fixes the incompatibility for now.

I have GA-EX58-UD4P with i7 920.

 

I used this guide with this guide (for DSDT) and installed 10.6.3 onto my USB drive. I can boot from it but so far I was unable to actually boot into OS X because it stops booting saying that SMC was not found. I am very-very new to all this so maybe I missed something?.. I'm not sure.

 

Would anyone give me a hand with this, please?

 

I got DSDT from Ubuntu and the script is ran from OS X VM in Windows 7.

You are on a PC and thus you need to Emulate the SMC that apple uses....add fakeSMC.kext to your extensions.mkext

hey guys,

 

When I updated to 10.6.4 my sound broke...

Not getting anything and nothing shows up in the preferences>sound (no output or input options)

 

Im on EX58-UD3R... so thats ALC888 for audio correct?

i tried updating my boot caches... didn't work

got the updated kexts for the ALC888 from DD's updated script... didn't work either.

 

 

any suggestions?

I'm sorry for a stupid question, but where do I find it? It's not in /Extra and it's not in script's folder.

It should be in the Misc_Patches folder, named fakesmc.kext.

Have you looked in the Hardware and Drivers/Sound forum?

No, I meant - extensions.mkext. But apparently, it's created by updating caches. Now, I created it (Combo update, normal didn't work) but when I look at it contents using this script it doesn't list fakeSMC.kext.

 

So, how do I include it there?

 

Boot_cache.log says this:

fakesmc.kext is not authentic; ommiting from mkext
Authentication failure:
File owner/permissions are incorrect (must be root:wheel, nonwritable by group/other):
<list of facesmc content>

Is fakesmc.kext even present in your Misc_Patches folder? If yes then updating the bootcaches should automatically add it to your extensions.mkext

I have, Can't seem to find anything... all audio kexts should be placed in /EXTRA/ correct?

Yes, it's in X58_Mobo_Patch_Installer/Kexts_10.6/Misc_Patches/fakesmc.kext along with nullcpupowermanagement, openhaltrestart and platformuuid.

OK, here's an interesting thing: I used mkextMaker, dragged Stored_Kexts onto in, it created Extensions.mkext size 381Kb and THAT allowed me to boot into SL! I even had sound but no network whatsoever.

 

So, from SL I ran Super Combo updater and DSDT patcher - and next boot failed due to HPET absence.

 

Anyway, it looks like the script really does skip those kexts in Misc_Patches. How do I build a cache with necessary kexts for network and other stuff AND facesmc?

 

UPDATE: I put back working DSDT and tried to boot with that new cache. Boot said that sound assertion failed (AppleHDA) and stopped after listing my hard drives. Didn't get to the part about SMC.

Okay, just a correction:

Running Update boot caches will NOT add the kexts from the script's folder to /Extra. All it does it update the cache based on what's presently in the /Extra folder.

(kexts in _For_System will get installed into S/L/E when running boot caches, however.)

 

Run Kext/Kernel Installer to install any kexts from the script's folder to /Extra.

I have fakesmc.kext in /Extra/Stored_Kexts on EFI partition. This is where it takes it from, right?

Yes, the /Extra boot cache is built from any kexts in "Stored_Kexts" (but not _For_System). So, if it's present in Stored_Kexts, you can run "Update boot caches" to create one. If it is not present there, you'll need to drop one in and run "Update boot caches" or run the Kext/Kernel Installer to install one there (provided it's in the script's folder).

Well, it is there, but again - Update Boot Caches doesn't work for me. Does this have to be run on actual hardware? Because I do this from VM.

 

Or, do I even need any other kexts in this Extensions.mkext if I can boot already?

Hey DD,

 

Love the final version of the script works like a champ.

 

Edit: Got 10.6.4 up and going I had to use the combo update but now everything is up and running great.

 

Also, the F13h beta bios introduce a new bios layout, interesting layout but the bios work with CruiSAr's method

I'm on 10.6.3 using the sleepenabler kext file from the (http://code.google.com/p/xnu-sleep-enabler/) with Maj's old script + ATI 4850 card.

I've not copied Crus' or d00d's dsdt.aml file...afraid of breaking my hackintosh =)

 

anyone know if i can upgrade to 10.6.4. with no problems?

i think just getting the right version of sleepenabler and adding the pmVersion=20 like to the kernel flags is all you need to do. Some people are reporting that audio has to be updated as well, but thats not the case with mine.

 

CruiSAr's setup is a great way to go I've been running it for 3 or 4 months and have not had any issues with it whatsoever and the great thing is its vanilla so no need to worry about kext clashes. Nows a great time to make the switch :thumbsup_anim:

Are the 48X0 series cards up and running with QE/CI, yet, on 10.6.4? I'm still playing with mine. Looking for a way to get it going without using the ATY_Init.kext.

Thanks, do i just simply copy the dsdt.aml file from CruiSAR's guide? then reboot and pray? =)

I used the new sleepenable.kext and did the update and now I am using my PC fully function.
