trexo Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 More info: Boot CD used for previous example was randomboot. Sorry I neglected to leave that out. Have now tried iATKOS S3_version2.iso and using the same command line boot parameters, it now installs to the hard disk OK for the first phase. Upon reboot, booting from the hard disk with the same parameters, causes a reboot after loading many files from the hard disk. I noticed that (at least from on screen messages) that this is not using the "legacy" kernel, but the MACH kernel, even though I specified legacy. When not using any parameters the reboot comes very quickly after loading only a few files. Any help would be appreciated. - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 "Evga X58 SLI Classified (E760) Bios 74 - I'm pretty sure this works with the X58 SLI Vanilla (E758) as well. Vanilla DSDT attached below; Edited DSDT came from this post http://osx86.net/f57/guide-evga-x58-sno ... 49055.html I also have an edited DSDT that enables dual video cards (SLI), but it needs to be coupled with Aquamac's dual card string method. If anyone needs this, feel free to PM me." Get the DSDT from here and try it... Link to helping you DSDT Download Vanilla Install EVGA X58 Vanilla install from another Mac or VM with OSX will by far be the best. I've seen your board running SL with a 980x. Not sure if the DSDT needs to be modified before moving from a 920 or not but something is telling me you need the correct <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>busratio=20</string>/code] Its not "20" for sure. 10.6.4 native kernel works try booting with cpu=1 and in safe mode to Its around here on insanelymac. If I stumble on it will post link. You can edit your DSDT to allow the other cores to run if not it will be running on 4 and not 6 physical cores.
