ASUS P5K Cross Flashed: Firewire / Network

[K3xenn]

Hi Macintosh Peeps,

 

I have installed Snow leopard on my asus p5kr (cross flashed from a p5k) perfectly using the empire efi disk, once installed I copied the extensions out the preboot.dmg file and installed them in the system extensions. Then used myhack to install a couple additional drivers and the boot loader to disk. Then run the DSDTPatcher GUI to update DSDT.

 

Oboard sound works using the voodooHDA.kext, video via nvinject.

 

The only things I cant get to work are the firewire and the onboard nic, the firewire shows up but nothing registers when connected, and the nic appears but cant talk out to the network. the network driver I am using is from here: http://code.google.com/p/iats/ (the snow leopard driver: Attansic / Atheros L1E)

 

I tried using the files here for the p5k: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.6.4 which reports everything works, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get the included lizard to build me an ISO for booting, I copied out all the included kexts and put them in the system but nothing seemed to work after that.

 

I Appreciate any help any one can offer, to be honest I can live without the network, its really the firewire I need. Also is there a tool to tell me which kexts are actively being used by the system?

 

Thanks,

K3xenn

EDIT: Make sure your using the V0605 P5KR BIOS the DMI application does not work on the newest(0703) version bios. Best thing is to flash to the 0605 from the begining.

 

Okay, so I got the network card working.

 

this is an interesting problem, the process of crossflashing the with kodakey boot CD from p5r to p5kr causes the mac address on the mother board to be wiped. so the card works but no connections can be made. The addess that is assigned after it has been wiped is:

 

ED-9F-E9-D7-F7-F7

 

The DMI236.exe application on the kodakey boot disk allow you to fix the mac and reassign your old one:

 

dmi236.exe /o 1"000000000000"

 

Replace the 000000000000 with your mac addresss, dont put in the hypens. and make sure you dont put a space between the 1 and the first "

Next thing i noticed is snow leopard picks up the wrong Mac, the mac it has is completly different.

 

So I had to do this: http://osxdaily.com/2008/01/17/how-to-spoo...ss-in-mac-os-x/ and se it to the mac address i had set earlier.

 

No idea why snow leopard is getting the wrong Mac, windows 7 picks it up perfectly.

 

the network card is a Attansic L1 gigabit Ethernet adapter.

 

Anyone knwo why the netwrok card would be getting the wrong Mac?
