Your ethernet isnt working in x64? Mine works perfectly, i can upload all my networking files if need be. I threw -x64 in my boot.plist so it goes by default.

Can you upload your networking files?

Yeah my network does not work in 64 mode. I am guessing I have a different RealtekR1000.kext from you? Yeah I want to boot into 64 mode by default, except I need working network.

Here's the link to my RealtekR1000

Yeah if you uploaded yours that would be great.

Btw, do you have yours installed in /S/L/E or in /Extra ?

Thanks guys. So far (after one day) and some extensive testing my system seems to be pretty rock-solid stable. I guess 'll attempt to upgrade my main hdd tonight (oh the joy of endless back ups).

[A_RocC]

check Disk Utility first, see if you get a repair permissions error.

First off I'd like to thank jaev, Aroc and everyone the communtity for coming together and getting this done.

I went ahead and pushed forward with installing snow leopard on a new hard drive from my existing 10.5.6 OS.

I followed both jaev and Aroc guide and managed to get snow up in running. I was able to put my com.apple.boot.plst together, copy over the required extensions and boot into snow.

While running kextutility, I KP'd. Figures since  I didn't boot with -x -v.

Rebooted, figuered out how to add -x -v in chameleon, ran kextutility =KP

rebooted w/ -x-v, Added smbios to snow dictertory, added themes in Extra/Extensions(not sure if that did anything).
Ran kextutility it worked

I KP'ed a few times in between, hard to remember where and when, but haven't since.

networks running, graphics up, everything seems good. Is there a way to check to see if my system is in good shape, other then experiencing KP's?

Run software update and install that remote client, if it installs successfully you should be good to go...There's a weird issue with rebuilding cache and spot light in snow

Nice guide. Short 'n sweet. Everythings working smooth on my x58 sli le (757) except ethernet.

Worked on first try

i have a D0 stepping so its so much better than my C0 i7 920. 4 Ghz easily. with C0 stepping, 4 ghz would reach 70 -80 C, but with D0 theres much less voltage so less temp.

dam what cpu cooler r you using? I always hit 85 @ 4ghz on my DO

[FabricioGS]

Don't know you guys, but I'm @ 4.2GHz HT On with 1.295v 10x Linpack stable. I'm using a lapped True 120.

This is an awesome guide, thanks to everyone who has devoted time to this.  Everything worked for me without a hitch on my EVGA x58 with the exception of Ethernet.  It seems like a few folks are having Ethernet issues.  I also noticed that when I go to "Network" under "System Preferences" things seem to hang as it tries to open the Network window.  I tried installing the above (IONetworking.kext) with KextHelper but I'm not having any luck.  TIA for any suggestions.

Yes the same thing is happening to me now

[terb82]

@ Fatz:



I got the same thing with the sys prefs hanging and I cured it my re-installing the vanilla IONetworking.kext. I just copied it from my untouched install and ran kext utility and fixed permissions, ....no more hanging, but still no network either.

Weird thing is, when I installed the Realtek1000.kext (the one from this thread) "Network Prefs" actually recognized that I had an ethernet adaptor, but said that the cable was unplugged no matter what I did, untill I entered in the network info manually, it said "connected" but I could not get a ping to my router.

What's weird though, is that when I booted back into Win7 my ethernet adaptor was not detected anymore! I had to shut down and actually remove power from the MB for about a minute to get it working in Win7 again. Hmm. Removed Realtek1000.kext as this would happen after every time that I booted that copy or SL.

Thanks for the info.  I had the experience that the default driver in Windows 7 worked fine, but when I ran Windows Update and pulled the Realtek driver it killed my network connection.  I fixed this in Windows by forcing the card to 100 Mbps FULL DUPLEX.  I'm not sure what, if anything, this says about the difficulties in Snow Leopard other than we might have a quirky network interface.  Maybe you could try forcing the interface to 100 Mbps Full Duplex in SL and see if that helps?  Just a thought.

First, thanks for making the overall install for this MB so incredibly easy for all of us.

Just wondering, do you think maybe some of our ethernets are at a different device path? My IOReg says it's at PEX2 @1C,2. If that's different than yours then maybe we should try changing that in our DSDT? (noobish speculation)

yeah, could be...you know how to create your own dsdt? if not start at step 3 here:

let us all know if that works, ill modify the guide

[Ultrabret]

this is the former "binarylayers"

sorry for changing my name mid-topic but that's the name of a site that I just retired to "file server" status. Besides, I hate that name.

Anyhow, I know how to decompile and look at dtds, but that's about it. I have no idea what any of that stuff in there means, and I can't for the life of me find anything in there that seems familiar like "PEX2" or anything for that matter. I have tried the dtds patcher (pcwiz) and tried following a guide on manually editing it but their dsdt was a little different than mine.

I'll keep trying but if anyone knows of a good guide that kinda explains what the stuff in the dsdt actually means that would be pretty cool.

Editing the dsdt isnt that complicated. You download the dsdt patcher, install it on the booted drive by checking "apply dsdt patch" edit out the section as stated in the guide by replacing what letter it is to a 2 and that's it. No extra steps are required this is just an option to try out if your ethernet isnt working using my dsdt.
