Ok thank you.

I have a new problem now. It has to do with flash player. Originally, flash player worked 100% fine with hardware acceleration enabled in settings. Video was smooth and displayed properly. Now, flash doesn't work at all if hardware acceleration is turned on. It literally creates a hole in the browser to the desktop where the video is supposed to display. If I turn hardware acceleration off for flash, I can view the videos, but they're extremely choppy (since it's not using my GFX card). Also, with hardware acceleration enabled in flash, when safari loads (and loads the default apple website that is heavy on flash), it will turn my primary monitor entirely black with a white cursor at the top, and it seems to log me out and log me back in all in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds. (I believe it's logging me out because it reopens windows that I had open last time I restarted the computer)

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, repaired permissions, used a flash uninstaller dmg, installed flash 11 beta, restarted thousands of times..etc
Any ideas? There is literally no more back information I can give you. This just randomly started happening. It happens in safari, firefox, and even chrome (w/ it's native flash player)

According to Adobe:

Quote

Adobe recommends using Flash Player 10.3.183.5 to get the best experience with Mac OS X Lion. In particular, this version resolves an issue with the Flash Player settings panel not responding to clicks on Mac OS X Lion.

At present I cannot be of more help as I have not installed Flash Player in OS X Lon yet because I was aware of the problems with Adobe Flash Player and OS X Lion......

Regarding the  [PCI Configuration begin] problem, there are two distinct issues with different solutions:

...

Case 2. There is a display freeze after "PCI Configuration Begin" but booting continues with a problem until the Desktop shows, meaning that you can no longer use Single User Mode nor follow the boot process in verbose mode.......nor see anything else onscreen until the Desktop appears......

My post #4 Issue 1 deals with Case 2......

Got it to work with the Kernel Flag solution:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v arch=x86_64 npci=0x2000</string>

But wanted to let you know that in your post, you have the string as "npci=2000" rather than "npci=0x2000".  In the explanation you mention npci=0x2000, but you may have just mis-typed it in the string portion.  Thanks for the help!!  I'm now 100% 64-bit with the correction to the "PCI Configuration Begin" issue....next up, Lion!

Many thanks for pointing out the mis-typed entry in post #4......   I have corrected it now......

This is strange.......is your MOBO audio chipset still picked up by running lspci -nn and/or IORegistryExplorer....?

Try this general Device (HDEF) patch from THe KiNG that should work for all codecs:

                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x04)
                        {

                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }
            }

Then try the ALC885_889a.kext Info.plist-only kext in /S/L/E + copying layout885.xml and Platforms.xml to the 10.7.x AppleHDA.kext, or AppleHDA.kext version 2.0.0 or higher (in /S/L/E/) Resources folder,  that VCH888 has posted in his ALC889A (Gigabyte, Intel) topic here......let me know how you get on.......

Whatever finally works for you in OS X Lion 10.7.x, I will post in my Audio section of my guide to help others with the ALC885 codec......

I just read the discussion between verdant and abhilash. I followed through everything they said and got my audio working flawlessly! I edited my dsdt.aml using DSDTSE and added method (hdef) and added the kexts abhilash showed. I wanted to let anyone else know, after making all the changes it didn't start working until I added the ALC885.kext to my /Extra folder. After doing everything abhilash said to do, and adding the ALC885.kext from verdant all my audio is working perfectly. Thanks a lot

Both front and back work, all the ports. I am running this on a 680i LT SLI board.
