I've been trying for the last 5 hours to get my install working. Perhaps someone knows what's going wrong.
When I boot up using
-v -x32 flags it shows me a bunch of Realtek messages before completely stalling or perhaps even freezing. I waited several minutes for something to happen and nothing ever does, also no activity on the HD led.
What I have tried:
- Flashed latest bios
- CMOS reset on the motherboard (was also done after flashing the bios)
- Build the caches in single user mode, done this multiple times since I've been adding and removing kexts.
- Replaced the RealtekR1000.kext with the latest from the Realtek website, just to see if it would boot.
- Removed dmos, Sleepenabler and NullCPUPowerManagement and replaced it with fakesmc.kext. Removing sleepenabler was just a test to see if it would work, I hear you still need it with fakesmc.
- Starting from scratch and rerunning the script.
- Rebuild DSDT.aml and place it in the root (/) but also keeping it in Extra.
- Install Chameleon RC3 and PC-EFI, currently using PC-EFI.
I own a
EX58-UD3R motherboard, it differs from the UD5 board as it has 1 LAN port less and an ALC888 audio chipset. The rest is exactly the same. The videocard I'm using is a Radeon 4870 with 512MB, hence the ATY_Init.kext. I have not made any additional changes, but I did check one of the Radeon Snow Leopard kexts as netkas mentioned to change a device-id. However in my case the device-id was already the same as my Radeon 4870 (checked it in System Profiler under 10.5.7).
I have a second HD running 10.5.7 and I have used DD's scripts multiple times, so I think I'm quite familiar with the process

Kexts currently installed:

A small snippit of the boot log at the part where it stalls/freezes, I attached the full log to the post:
