ML on Asus Rampage II Extreme : problem on boot !

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have this configuration : 

 

Asus Rampage II Extreme

Intel I7 D0

12gb OCZ ram DDR3

Original Apple Ati Radeon HD 5870 1GB

Original Apple Cinema Display 27"

 

I installed Mountain Lion 10.8.3 by myHack method ( usb driver ). All works well : bluetooth, audio of the monitor, usb of the monitor, usb of the case and motherboard, usb keyboard and mouse.

I installed by kext helper b7 : Marvell Yukon kext for ethernet and the kext for the audio of the main board.

The big problem is that it remains booting for 5 minutes on the apple grey screen before to show the desktop ! This problem was as during the first clean installation using myHack method than after when I installed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with the dsdt.aml. It makes the same thing : it remains booting for 5 minutes on the apple grey screen before to show the desktop ! 

In [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] I set only UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation with file DSDT.aml on the desktop.

The apple cinema display is connected by mini display port into the apple ati radeon HD 5870.

In the EXTRA folder I have the file org.chameleon.Boot.plist in this way :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GenerateCStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GeneratePStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>darkwake=0</string>

<key>Legacy Logo</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>2</string>

<key>UseKernelCache</key>

<string>Yes</string>

</dict>

</plist>

What I can do? Thanks a lot for the help

In my opinion:  Try direct Mavericks 10.9 dp4.   - Why not ?

 

myHack 3.2b8 works well.  After install, even that updates names

are "combo", You need install first update dp2, then 3 and 4.

Last Chameleon of course...

 

If You update FakeSMC, notice, that myhack.kext have it too.

I followed your advice. I installed OS X Mavericks DP1 with myHack 3.2b8. Now after to solve the problem with audio and ethernet, I would like to know what steps I have to follow now.

First I should to install the combo updates DP2, DP3 and DP4 ? and then? Multib***t with chameleon? and when I can install the kext for audio and ethernet?

Thanks
