moraesgyn Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks a bunch for this. I followed, installed the aitkos lion 10.7.2 and after that I deleted the SleepEnabler.kext and installed the 10.7.5 update direct from the mac software updater, worked like a charm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shareuskadi Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have tried updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.5 sleepenabler deleting and restoring permissions and not working to me. Just get to start it with-F. I get an error unsupported kernel Fintek chip in the log. I tested with 10.7.3 applesmc.kext for me but neither works. I'll reinstall and see what happens.

Thanks I had an fintek 718x generating logs, I removed the plugin from the package(as the package comes with 4 or 5, not all boards have them) and resent the kext with a kext tool. being using 10.7.5 for a while now, all good... good Luck!

meszi Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This post is tagged with "P5GC". I am using that board. Any chance to get some patched DSDT.AML for it or would the P5GC-MX one work as well? I also checked the Autopatcher (http://www.insanelym...t-auto-patcher/) which obviously also does not have P5GC (without MX) in the compatibility list. :-/ CU, Mészi.

opensourcefool Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I was contemplating selling off this motherboard, but decided to do some quick research to see what Hackintosh progress had been made. I'm glad that I did! If you are interested in a custom DSDT for this board. I have not tested it -- like I said, I just decided to do some research today. If you'd like to look through the post and try it out, you can have a look here: P5GC-MX/1333 DSDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
