Fantastic! easy as pie!

 

Installed OSX using Kakewalk CD method last night on my new build X58A-UD5 and everything seems to be working fine. I selected the X58A-UD7 as my motherboard during the install.

 

I have 2x HD4870 installed but OSX is only recognizing one of the cards. What do I need to do to enable the second video card?

 

Also are there any fan control utilities that will work? my CPU HS fan is too loud when on 100%!

Good Day

 

I am running the same board.

 

Have you got sound and updated to 10.6.2?

Solved my own problem (from the last page) by installing with -x. Also had to manually install my own bootloader since Kakewalk didn't automatically install one. Weird. Oh, and I got kernel panics when trying to update to 10.6.2 and when trying to install Xcode; both fixed by installing while in -x.

I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR and took the chance and installed 10.6.3 and all is working fine besides the sound - no sound anymore ;)

 

 

Same here after 10.6.3 update sound quit working. Can't find the HD device now.

 

I'm using a X58A UD5.

 

I ran the Kakewalk CD from within OSX and reinstalled the mb files for the X58A UD7 but did not fix.

thank you so much, worked for me i did install my old DSDT though, so if you get no sound. try that as well.

 

here's a link to the DSDT i'm running on my GA X58A UD3R http://www.paulodourado.com/OSX/DSDT.zip

 

 

Got my sound working again with the patch with GA X58A UD5

 

I had to use the Kakewalk install CD from within OSX and reinstall the files for GA X58A UD7 again after I applied the patch.

Ack! Photoshop CS4 won't install due to the "case sensitive file system" format the Kakewalk instructions specify!!!!

 

Is this case sensitive formatting necessary for Kakewalk to work? Or does anyone know a workaround to get CS4 to install on such a file system? I know this is problem is completely due to Adobe's crappy coding...but is there a reason you specify case-sensitive?
