Andrej Rublev Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi to all, I have a Desktop PC with motherboard GA-945GCMX-S2 working almost perfect, all files needed included in this post. Hi, Thanks a lot for info. I've done SL installation from Leo to separated hard disk. I've compiled dsdt.dsl and have installed this with smbios.plist file to /Extra/ (sure I've set owner and permittions). But on boot I get an issue: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::pushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed Have you faced with this issue? Please advice - how can I detect the issue and debug one. Thanks.

Andrej Rublev Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 i think that is related to AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, do you have a disabler.kext or NullCPUPM.kext installed ? No I do not have disabler.kext or NullCPUPM.kext. I have not installed any kext. Thanks anyway for suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svakak Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Does Bonjour works with integrated ethernet card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svakak Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I´m not sure, what do you need exactly ? RTL8169 works in my pc using DHCP or manual ip, tested sharing folder/screen. Bonjour is Apple network zeroconf protocol, without it afp does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxdre Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 For those who still need a tutorial, I had good luck with using the "[TOTALLY VANILLA] Retail Snow Leopard" guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...183751&st=0 Skip the dsdt step since quinielascom has so helpfully provided one plus the iaslme to make it into a dsdt.aml file. Take all of the other kexts and add them into the kext folder when prompted by the guide. When you get to phase 3 take your dsdt.aml and put it in your Extras folder sometime before step 4 and you should be good! [edit: forgot to mention that I didn't know what to do with the BIOS SLIC file so I didn't use it] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDad Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Can someone help me to get my sound working? I have tried all different combinations of KEXTs but I can not get it to work.

MacDad Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 With the integrated GMA950 graphics I can only get the resolution 1024x768 to work. How can I get other resolutions to work? Do I need a special KEXT for this to work? In the current setup I have I can choose which resolution I want. Thankful for any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistorOrange Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 i've tried stellerollas installer, etc and still can't get audio to work, when I install form the hazard 10.6.2 disk, and choose alc888 or w/e audio works, but audio in doesn't work, and when i go and try any other method, I get no audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svakak Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm having problems with integrated Ethernet card. I can't get IP address from DHCP. Does anyone else having this problem? I guess that this card should work OOB, but that is not the case here. I have tested it with Knoppix and in Knoppix everything works (DHCP, and manual setup), while in OSX 10.6.0 and 10.6.4 I see card in Network preferences, but I allways get Self assigned IP.

ky56 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just saying but i thought the GA-945GCMX-S2 Motherboard had the ALC888 codec. Cause thats the one listed on the Gigabyte Page and its the version listed on my Motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
