Is there any information on how to go about installing 10.7. Lion on this Motherboard yet?

[flip360]

i have the P5Q PRO and it works with the USB installer from maldon

cheers

[chad3000]

Thanks bro! I have everything running perfect here with Lion DP4 except for sleep. MaLd0n is helping me out with this now so I hope to have this fixed soon. If sleep is working for you then any input would be awesome!

[yihtsair]

mine is P5Q PRO, using MaLd0n's method too, it works but mayb need a little bit of tweak with different graphic cards

By the way, this is my fist post EVER on any forum regarding osx86

Yes I have and it works flawlessly. Took me a half hour to figure out how to do it from a guide, and it worked perfectly.If your interested i can boot into my SL partition and get you the link.

Thing that worked OOB: Graphix-1080p dual screen

Post install:
Audio: multibeast voodoohda( however the volume control on my keyboard doesn't actually control the volume)-Any help with this would be appreciated as i had the same problem in SL. Aside from that my SL build is FLAWLESS
Chameleon, Atansicethernet( or whatever it was called from SL)
Multibeast-User DSDT install, Voodoohda, pepair perm,

AND everything works cept the sound issue above--including sleep/shutdown/restart

Specs:
asus p5qpro turbo
8gb g-skill ram
9600gt graphics

the only thing that actually really pisses me off about lion: no 3rd party trim support for ssd's
the iOS incorporation is cool if you have a trackpad
haven't done a geekbench test yet but it seems on par for speed with SL

Anyone who has info on this as well would be greatly appreciated

Hey guys


RE: Snow Leopard & moving to Lion



…I tried ‘Empire EFI’ first, as described here: http://www.rgwoehr.c...-p5q-pro-turbo/


…It wouldn’t get to install. After trying a few other methods, I have  managed to get 10.6.8 running pretty well. My builds are working, and  yes, with 64bit Vanilla kernel and extensions enabled.

This is what I have found that has worked the best for me so far:


I am using the ‘nawcom ModCD’

http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=306


Then install the retail 10.6.0 .dmg.

To get 64 bit enabled, I use the Vanilla kernel from the retail disk.

I am in Australia, which I think has been part of the  problem with following guides and using kexts from others. I've  found that there a some variations of the P5Q Pro Turbo  based on region.

...following what has worked for some others, did not worked  for me, until found this guide:

http://translate.goo.....wtopic=196436

…As for my current/preferred method so far:

1: nawcom modCD – I found has decent support for non-Gigabyte boards.

2: Retail Disc 10.6.0 – using mach_kernel boot flag to load OS X


3: After install, run combo update to 10.6.8

4: Use MultiBeast to install DSDT & create SMBIOS.plist


5: Install kexts, make adjustments/tweaks

5: Insert kernel flags into com.apple.Boot.plist

Note: Enable ‘arch=x86_64′ into com.apple.Boot.plist, wither other flags


I have it running pretty much flawless, but I just cannot get my  audio working perfect, it has been a real challenge so far.

To keep testing, I'm using ‘Supa Dupa’ to make  images of my drive that i just restore back to, after I screw up the build while testing.

http://www.shirt-poc...escription.html – try it if you haven’t already.

I am happy to pass on anything if anybody needs it...


**If anyone has any advice, can point me in a better direction or pass on any kexts/tools/utilities to get my VoodooHDA audio working (good) for the VIA VT1708s on the P5Q Pro Turbo, for either Snow Leopard or Lion, I would reeeeeely appreciate it!!

I had exactly that same problem and hardware.
All you have to do is swap your dvi cable to another dviport or use your second display
