Apple Freak Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 So recently I want to use a Hackintosh again, and I bought a Asus P5Q3, with Q8600. I want to know if this board is compatible with Snow Leopard with patches and stuffs. Please give me a brief guide. I am very new in Hackintosh Leopard, but I was a long time player in the 10.4 age, how time's changed... Thanks, and sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocShadow Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yes .. P5Q Deluxe. Tried it last night. Use any of the installs that you can find here or on the net (seems to be more everyday. ). Boots in 64 but not in 32. Still optimizing but in E/E I have: - AppleRTC - disabler - fakeSMC - IOAHCBlockStorageInjector - IONetworking - NullCPUPowerManagement - OpenHaltRestart - PlatformUUID - VoodooHDA You need to repair permissions either booting -x or if not possible using -s. I'm still working out the bugs ... ethernet, wireless and sound not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabblefish Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I was up til 3:00 AM trying to get my P5Q3 up and running, but I'm getting nothing but KPs every time I try to boot SL. (It works more or less perfectly on 10.5.8) Will investigate further (a night of sleep helps!) and post results. I've been hearing good things about Netkas' PC EFI 10.1...

Apple Freak Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 I see, do you use the Boot-132 way or install SL from another Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabblefish Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Success! Installed from my existing 10.5.8 Leopard onto a spare 500GB Seagate, ran DSDT patching, installed the bootloader and added the appropriate kexts from this thread *SL on a ASUS P5Q* to my Extras folder and voila! Sleep and shutdown are working beautifully (10.5.8 killed this for some reason) I should add that SL randomly kernel panics when I try to do certain things (i.e. partitioning my disk in Disk Utility) and audio isn't working yet, but I'm getting by with a USB audio adapter for the time being.
