But on my old board everything worked and booted perfectly exept lan, but lan didn't work in windows also, that's why I have changed my mobo. Nothing has changed after I renewed a mobo, but it does NOT boot today. And there is no error. Booting simply stops at the line

IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87

And I read here, that it may be a rong dsdt. But my dsdt worked for old p6t se. So I don't understand anything. Now I try to install windows, than wmware and than reinstall bootloader in wmware. And one more thing: I have tryed iatkos and kalyway, but they don't boot also. They reboot after 5 seconds booting, but that was also problem of my old mobo.

Iatkos kalyway? Why did you use it?

Follow the guide on 1st page your bios settings may be wrong

Looks like your hd isnt on ahci mode

I posted a link with pictures of the settings take a look

Btw whata your bios version?

My settings is not wrong... I have already installed snow leo on p6t SE using the guide on the first page. But one more time: this was another board. I have changed that mobo and now i have a brand new one p6t SE. And the settings are wright, ahci mode is on, boot drive is first. Bios is the latest from asus.com. By the way, I had this problem with my old board, but than it was dsdt from p6t nonSE.

Iatkos i wanted because I thought, that there I can patch my dsdt and boot with this dsdt vanilla installation.

 

P.S. I have reinstalled the bootloader. Nothing...

If you have the same mobo it should work....

Try other versions from ifabio

 

If you want to patch yourself

Download dsdtse and remove all the cpu alias (i think it does this automatically) this will enable all cpu cores

Now for cstate speedstep thats more complex and i dont know hot to do it

Thank you! But could you mail me ifabio's dsdt for p6t se i7 920? I do not have permissions to download it and don't know how to own them. My e-mail is andvikt@gmail.com

Hi,

I have a

Asus P6T SE with

I7 930

6 GB 1333 DDR3

Geforce 9800 GT

HDD SATA 1,5 TB

LG GH24 Super Multi DVD Rewriter

 

I finally succeded to install os x 10.6, but

the Bootloader dosen't start without my usb stick plugged in.

 

I can't change the resolution from 1440 x 900 to an other. If i do it the screen becomes blue.

 

My DVD Drive disappears while i try to install something like Logic (Org. DVD s :) ). So my installation fails.

 

I tried to update the System with the tutorial to 10.6.2, with the combined Software update and i did not succede, after booting the System tells me to reboot or to contact a dealer.

 

So please give me some advises how to fix my problems.

THX

EDIT:Make sure you check the Extra/Extensions folder that it really gets named Extensions and not Exstension without the s in the end. Took me days to realize that that happen to me hehe and I could´nt understand why my computer acted strange.

 

 

For those of you that are having problems with the usb flashdrive method like I did you might get lucky with this 132 CD instead. The upside is you don´t have to restore the SL DVD to the USB flash drive you can go ahead and install it to the harddrive right away.

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...183406&st=0

 

I could´nt get my retail dvd to "stick" to my flashdrive no matter what I did so I decided to use this old trick and it worked. The case is you need an external usb drive or one of these devices around to hook up your HD via USB or you just "borrrow" the casing from an external USB Harddrive (remove a couple of screws and you´re in there so you can replace that harddrive with the one you wanna install SL on).

 

What´s more you cant have anything but your DVD/CD and that external USB harddrive/device hooked up or it will fail or act strange so you have to open up the box and disconnect all but these two. So hook up your DVD to the first Sata port or it probably will fail and you get that stop sign.

 

Then in Bios set your cpu cores to 2 and then AHCI and what more you want like it says here and boot from CD or when you´re done during next bootup press F8 to get to the Boot menu so you can choose to start from the DVD drive. When the CD has finished (it´ll give you a couple of Ebios bla bla but eventually it will boot up) swap over to your SL DVD and press F5 to rescan to find your SL DVD. When the install begins do the rest of the stuff it say here but make sure you uncheck printer drivers or it will fail, you can always add them later if you want.

 

Another thing I know by experience is that sometimes it´s good to make sure you monitor the install and move your mouse around and click and stuff every now and then cause it seems somekind of pre screensaver can kick in and mess things up too. In the end it will tell you it failed cause it could´nt reboot but never mind that just reboot and swap back to the 132 CD let it load then press F5 and then your SL install to let the install finnish. Then you can copy the stuff from/go by the guide here to make it run with out the 132 CD. Once you have it up running OK shut down go back to Bios and change over to all cores fire it up and fix the rest you need/want.

 

Good luck

Hi

 

Machine spec

 

p6t (Normal)

6gig ram

gtx295

cpu 920 i7

 

Ive just updated to 10.6.4 using kexts from trick77.

 

But im still having problems getting the machine to work in 64bit.

 

Ive read some info on modifying the com.apple.boot.plist and deleting <string>arch=i386</string>

It just hangs on boot up, grey screen with apple logo.

 

Here is my com.apple.boot.plist (huge number below for the 295gtx)

I think all you should delete is what´s inside <string>arch=i386</string> = keep the <string></string> looks like it hangs on something with graphics when you try to boot.

 

Hi Tried removing that part but made no difference. I will spend some time to go through the error messages on boot.

(not that i understand most)

 

I also tried to remove the GTX 295 info in the boot plist and just boot up in VGA mode. Made no difference.

 

 

For now 10.6.4 runs ok. speed seems ok. Just want to be in 64bit using the full memory.

 

Thanks

I have probs with Diskutility and DVD player totally locking up as soon as sleep or screensaver kicks in. I´m on ifabios DSDT.aml for the i7 930 and the fakesmc.kext he recommends. Any older fakesmc.kext or DSDT.aml from this thread it does´nt matter same happends.

 

In Extra/Extensions I have the latest fakesmc.kext he recommends and I kept the IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext from the 10.6.2 update package from here cause the network works so good did´nt want to risk anything by installing that P6T-SE.kext.

 

I´ve decided to stay on 10.6.2 for now but if this will get fixed by updating to 10.6.4 and installing the P6T-SE.kext too I´ll go ahead try that.

 

Besides that all seems to work good and my installation method/replacing the USB flash drive with the kdetechs 132 boot CD works good too.

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

 

I´m using my noname 7300gs 512 mb Pcie videocard, no probs there it seems to work good.

Ok thanks for the reply.

 

Yes i have repaired permissions and it did´nt matter. My computer it works in all aspects as long as I do´nt let it sleep or the screensaver to kick in. I think there must be some other problem but I just can´t sort it out.

 

I´ve been working on getting SL up running for almost two weeks now with this mobo so I´ve even had it up running with 10.6.4 a couple of times but I get the same probs. It works just supergood if it was´nt for this.

 

You see I´m planning to make this my broadcasting computer for Justin.tv and I don´t want to start change over stuff like my Black Magic Intensity capture card from the old one before this is sorted.

 

Comes to my mind it might have something to do in which order I hook up my DVDs to the motherboard. I have the main HDD to Sata port 1 and my Sata DVDs to port 2 and 3, maby I should change over to 3 and 4 and check Bios settings?

Hi,

 

I did some research but couldn't find anything. My clock is running fast, almost twice as fast. This is the same configuration I had before and the clock was fine. I'm not sure what's wrong. Does anyone have ideas? Thanks.

For some reason I´m not sure of after one more repair permissions it suddenly seem to work. Only extra thing I did this time was setting sleep for computer and display to never and same for the screensaver. The screensaver still kicks in though and that in itself is really strange since it´s actually turned of hehe but who cares if it works I can live with that. So after "waking up" from screensaver no freeze with diskutility or DVD player app so I think I´m good to go ahead trying out if this computer can work as my new web tv broadcasting computer.

 

Edit: It does work pretty ok but the software I wanna use (Adobes Flash Media Live Encoder) and that I´m used to just does´nt work it shuts down. I´m starting to think there´s something wrong with ifabios DSDT.aml cause it seems like it has something to do with soundcards working a bit strange not like they should and all the software I normally use for my broadcasts works ok. I´m not using the onboard soundcard at all so it has nothing to do with that.

All the stuff I use for this works in the old computer.

I have the Asus P6T SE mobo, i7 930 cpu, 6 gigs 1600 Corsair memory, at the moment one but I want two 7300 gs 512 mb pcie videocards (use a NVinject.kext for them I editet the NVcap in = Graphicsenabler=no in plist), two Sata DVDs. I´m planning to put in my Black Magic Intensity Pro capture card and a Maudio delta 1010 PCI card (I have drivers for it so it works with osx, it works in my old box so I don´t want to loose PCI ports) and my Saffire Pro 10 i/o firewire soundcard.

 

At the moment the computer works good coretemps are pretty ok highest are round 56 Celcius. Diskutility and DVD player also works even after "wake" from Screensaver, but only if I set Sleep for hardrives and computer to never and also never on the Screensaver tab (Screensaver still kicks in though?). But Adobes Flash Media Live Encoder which I use for my broadcast to justin.tv does´nt work it shuts down and it seems I can´t broadcast stereo sound (but I can play back sound ok). All the stuff I´ve listed here both hardware and software works with my old GA EP45-DS3 mobo running SL 10.6.2.

 

I have the latest Bios 0808

 

I´m greatfull for any help you can give me.

Thanks
