Now that 10.6 is out and no distribution like iatkos or ideneb, i have installed 10.6 from a retail dvd. The only problem is that i cannot make a DSDT for my motherboard. I tried lots of tutorials, after one month of trying I just give up. Can anyone provide me with a DSDT.aml for 10.6 for Abit IX38 QuadGT ? I will apreciate, I know there are many users with this motherboard outhere. Thank you !

I used RebelEFI 1.5 to boot, then I inserted the retail DVD of Snow Leopard. After installation I installed with KextHelper the kexts attached below, added Efi strigs for Ethernet and Video Card (I used EFI Studio), than installed Chameleon 2 RC3. Note that I don't use onboard audio, I have a M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB. Only problem is that BIOS resets so I now use a DSDT.aml from Abit IP35 PRO Motherboard, but that means I loose Firewire and I need that. So , please somebody help us by providing a good DSDT.aml for Abit IX38 Quad GT.

4.after your installation finish restart and again startup you hackintosh with empire efi cd-->install chameleon 2.0 rc4 to your Macintosh HD--> http://www.4shared.com/file/223655274/eb11..._20_RC4pkg.html

 

5.Put the extra folder to root of your drive--> http://www.4shared.com/file/223649611/bd9ee244/Extra.html

8.Show your mac hidden file with this widget utilitiest-->

http://www.4shared.com/file/223656677/67a4...ide_11wdgt.html

 

 

9.delete boot file inside your Macintosh HD and add PC EFI 1.0.6 boot file to your Macintosh HD-->

http://www.4shared.com/file/223655354/d8e5...i_boot_106.html

 

10.restart your computer and viola!!! you are using 10.6.2 now.... enjoy...take a rest and go to sleep. :-)

 

in extra folder you will see MY DSDT.aml file... if you use q6600 processor.you can directly use my dsdt code , but if use other than q6600 you have to generate your own dsdt.dsl and replace with my code right after your proscessor section.

 

what my dsdt do:

1.CMOS RESET=Fix

2.Add ALC888 Onboard audio

3.Add DTGP Method

4.Onboard network work

 

 

DSDT things that need to be fix

1.Native sata

2.Native USB

3.Add Hpet so we can use native Appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext

4.SBRG this will lower your CPU temperature when using Native speedstep

 

C'mon dsdt EXPERT....lest build better dsdt.aml file together.

 

ok good luck

 

sorry for my english.
