mafao Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Did anyone have success with this mobo? From what I see, it has basically the same components as the GA-X58-UD5, so the installation would probably be identical: X58 ICH10R Lan: RTL8111DL Audio: ALC890 (only difference) Thanks!

hobhayward Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I looked around for ages trying to find info on people who have used it before. I gave up in the end though and just bought it. I guess we'll see what happens when I try to install! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobhayward Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I did the same thing and just gave up and bought it. Kalyway 10.5.1 and iatkos v7 wouldn't boot with and ide drive. Got a sata drive earlier today and it's all good. Usin iatkos v7 it booted successfully using cpus=1 and busratio=20. It installed ok using this install (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=172097), but will not boot afterwards without setting it to cpus=1 busratio=20. I didn't have to change the power settings to get it to boot. (disable speedtep etc.) Not sure where to go from here.. its basically pointless limited to a single core... If I can get it running properly though.. be amazing. Specs: Asrock x58 Extreme Core i7 920 6gb OCZ ddr1600 MSI R4890 I'll try to update this if I come up with anything.

maleorderbride Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I am currently working on an SL install for this board. I have attached a DSDT.aml that has the CMOS reset bug fixed as well as the alias lines removed. Just stick it in your /Extra folder and repair permissions on it. Still working out the kexts.

maleorderbride Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Not sure that DSDT.aml is working in the above post. However, I do have a retail 10.5.8 Leopard install on the above board. Will post my /Extra folder after I get the ethernet and sound going and re-make the DSDT.aml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used DSDTSE v1.2.1 Then just select in the DSDT Hacks cpus=1 fix Then extract erase the aliases als descriped in the thing you had before, then compile then install on your drive You now can put your cores on all end use hyperthreat on enabled good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maleorderbride Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 OK, well I am washing my hands of this board. Sadly I never got a retail installation to work in SL or Leopard. I could boot my retail installs with cpus=1, but the DSDT.aml that works for me under iAtkos would not work with my retail installs. Or, I am missing some APCI kext that I need. Using iAktos v7 I installed without any problems. That distro makes it very easy on this board. However, iAktos does not do the DSDT correctly, so I deleted the DSDT it installs (have to enable viewing hidden files) and install the attached DSDT.aml. I have also attached my /Extra folder. I have everything working except the firewire and ATA DVD drives. That worked OOB in retail Leopard, but for some reason iAktos did not install whatever was necessary for it. Maybe I missed a check box. I used Voodoo HDA because I could not get my sound working with far superior HDAEnabler methods under the iAtkos install. Again, I had perfect sound under retail, but crappy voodoo sound with iAtkos. It does at least work though, just not the full 6 channels I had with a retail install. I also got my GTX285 working with dual monitor support, but not hot pluggable. Whatever. I used NVenabler.kext and then edited NVResman.kext and NVDANV50Hal.kext to add my device ID and revision to the .plist. All 3 of those files must go in to /S/L/E, not /E/E. Also, since NVenabler loads an Apple ROM image my GTX285 only has 1GB of RAM under OS X. One can edit that, but I did not.

hobhayward Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sorry, dumb question here, but how do you install the new dsdt.aml? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobhayward Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sorry, dumb question here, but how do you install the new dsdt.aml? Actually also after some research on it, it looks like your dsdt.aml would be specific to your hardware (including gfx etc.) and thus wouldn't be the right one for me to use? I also noticed that the system is reporting that I have 6 gigs of ddr2 667 (???) rather than 6 gigs of ddr3 1600... This is obviously completely wrong, because i7 systems only run on ddr3, I'm hoping that a fixed dsdt.aml will fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisi Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Did anyone have success with this mobo? From what I see, it has basically the same components as the GA-X58-UD5, so the installation would probably be identical: X58 ICH10R Lan: RTL8111DL Audio: ALC890 (only difference) Thanks! I have a working snow leopard retail installation on my Asrock X58 Deluxe. The only Problem i have is to get ALC890 working. I don't want to use Voodoo. I use the new EFI Bootloader with a DSDT.aml I created on iAktos v7 and the following kexts: fakesmc.kext (newest version) PlatformUUID NullCPUPowerManagement( you don't need this. I didn't have any kernal Panics without this kext but someone said that the CPU could run hot without it) OpenHaltRestart(I need it that the system shuts down correctly an reboots correctly) AppleIntelPIIXATA(works also without it) RealtekR1000 IONetworkingFamily(just copy the kext in the extensions folder in the EFI Partition to solve depencies with RealtekR1000) in the com.apple.boot.plist I inserted the EFI String of the Grafic Card.

beachape Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I've got the ASRock X58 Extreme MOBO as well, so I'm very interested in hearing people's results. Unfortunately I am completely new to hackintosh, but if others find some kexts that work with this board I'm all ears. Any luck with the sound?

Deisi Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I finally gout the sound working. Without Voodoo. I patched my dsdt.aml. I would start a new topic but it seems that i don't have the rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start a new topic but it seems that i don't have the rights Gah! That would be amazing, I gave up ages ago, just decided to randomly check today and see if anyone had gotten anywhere, and lo and behold! I'm not very crafty, and don't have much time these days so I walkthrough type deal would be awesome, or just some nicely organized info and links to the kexts/other files.
