I am a new poster here and am hoping that some of the nice people here can help me. I have done a couple of builds over the last 2 years. I just installed SL on a eg45m-ud2h following this thread. I have been fairly successful. I have the Q9550 recognized and running at 38C. My network works also. I used one of the latest chameleon's(which generated the DSDT) and Hackboot v6.

I am stuck on the checksum error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you

I hope someone can chime in. I did solve the checksum error by using the elliotforcerestart kext. It aint pretty but it works. I oc to 3.4 and get a geek bench of 7540 47 degree core on cpu 1 at idle. When I run one of the Logic Demo songs the rest of the cores also go up to 47 degrees, which seems really good. The sleep thing is totally not happening. When I hit sleep the desktop halts for a moment and then I get a usb disconnected wrong warning and the desktop gets sluggishly responsive. Shutdown and restart do work fine however.

Hey guys,

Just wondering. Is it totally inappropriate to ask for a Gigabyte AMD motherboard here? I have a GA-MA790FXT UD5P. I found the DSDT patcher, but no info for AMD mobos. Im having trouble with restart/sleep and trying to find some way to fix it. I just installed with Nawcom's boot CD, Updated to 10.6.8 and everything is working (at least it looks like) but when i restart, the pc turns off and doesn't turn on again. same thing when I try the sleep. It goes off, when I power it up again it keeps restarting (cd checking contiguously!)

Anyway, before I get more into detail, without being inappropriate, could please someone point me into the right direction? (or the right forum?!)

I would be eternally grateful! Thanks to everyone ...

Hello,

Sorry, but I am a novice at this. I can not install ML on my SL 10.6.6 because I receive a message that this is only possible with SL 10.6.8 or above. I have tried many times with different kexts and through different methods to upgrade my system to 10.6.8 so that I could install Lion and now Mountain Lion, but have failed each and every time. Does anybody know a way around this, because I would like to install ML.

Thank you for your consideration
