Bob Ajob Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Install Chameleon RC and PC EFI v10.1 then copy Fake SMC and other hacked kexts into /Extra folder and you should be well on your way to installing from the vanilla retail disk... thats how I got my P5WDH Deluxe to run Snow... very similar to Intel Bad Axe board instructions ... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acidic Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 ok.... ummm if i were to do this method would this be a complete erase and install, or could i do this with the 29 dollar single user upgrade discs apples offering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ajob Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have purchased the £25 retail disk here in the UK and used it tonight to do a full install on a blank GUID partition... working well so far. Here is the link to the easy installer for the bootloader - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1234058 and another thread mentioning P5WDH Deluxe install for Snow - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181191 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! i have audio working with the 64 bit kernel using voodoohda.kext (64 bit)... shouldn't be hard to find, toss it in S/L/E, you say "everything", do you have wi-fi working?

Brilliant! I had forgot about voodoohda. The funny thing is, I told my girlfriend that I might have to use black magic to get audio working. Seriously, my Leopard install has been going to so nicely for so long that I have forgotten how I got some things working in the first place. Thanks!

hawkeye Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks for the tips on sound. Any suggestions for USB. My onboard USB doesn't not work—or it works for a brief period before dropping out. Perhaps I have my BIOS set incorrectly. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts? remove applehpet.kext from system/library/extensions its causing your issue and is unnecessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderjacky Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 can you post a link to the drivers you used for wi-fi? and as far as 5.1 goes, which output are you using for it? Have you tested the optical output of the sound card? It's not working for me, sadly... François Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigb1979 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Is there any working Boot132 install method for the p5w ?? It works like a charm for 10.5. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poonone Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I am almost there with my P5W DH Deluxe install of SL 10.6.... If there is anyone out there who would be able to offer me any guidance to the three final issues I am having I'll be forever indebted! 1) Coaxial SPDIF out is not working and I don't think the optical is either (from other's posts), though I haven't tested it / may have jumper disabled it a while ago (can't remember if you have to choose one or the other with jumpers, but I had coaxial working for my PC prior to nuking it to go MAC). I am open to any suggestions since normal line out / headphones won't cut it for my setup.... (I.E. Do I need to go the codec dump route? and patch something, DSDT?) I'd also like to be running everything in 64bit when all is said and done. 2) Computer tries to sleep, like shuts off hard-drives and monitor, but will never come back via mouse move / keyboard hit. Using logitec cordless keyboard/mouse that wakes most machines just fine. Also, the fans never shut off. 3) I don't like the idea of the CPU running full throttle like it has been stated that it'll do with the NULL CPU kext. Is this the case? Is there another way to avoid this / fans running all the time? I'm posting a grab of my Extra folder which is all I'm using to alter my otherwise OOTB SL install. Thank you in advance!
