Metzen Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have a Core i7 w/DX58SO motherboard. I had downloaded the generic.iso and have a retail Leopard disk and Leopard install on a bootable USB drive. I burned the generic.iso and booted the computer off of it. I can then attempt to boot off the USB drive but it reboots as soon as it hits the "Starting Darwin/X86" part. What I assume is happening is the generic.iso is booting and loading kext's and then attempting to boot to usb drive. Once it trys to do that I get an automatic reboot. Here are the last few lines...

Juiceman Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 has anybody figured this out? im about to build another hackintosh with the Intel DX58SO mobo, I got iATKOS 5i running on the first one but I want to do Boot 132 for this one, any advice on how to get around it restarting?

Blackshore Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You guys know that you need 10.5.7 to get the i7 to work? My Theory: The i7 is Technically 8 cores = 0-7 cores. So in my theory IF you shutdown the HyperThreading it should show up as a true 4 core setup in leopard. Guinea pigs here are your tests, do this and come back with results! OR the lab can do this and come back with results! Test: 1. Put a DX58SO rig together. 2. Go to bios settings 3. Set it to boot from the dvd/cdrom 4. Disable hypertreading 5. save&exit bios 6. Boot with retail leopard 10.5.1 - 10.5.6 7. Install Leopard. 8. (pause) IF that worked continue to the next step with the test or else report back these answers: What happend? 9. (removed step) 10. Update Leopard to 10.5.7 11. Restart and go to BIOS 12. Enable Hypertreading 13. Save and exit bios 14. Boot to leopard Report back how it goes!

mattrb Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You guys know that you need 10.5.7 to get the i7 to work? This is false. You need the flag busratio=20 with voodoo kernel if you use i7 before 10.5.7. How do you think the i7 community has been getting by since the i7 introduction? Forget about boot-132 disk, this is trash and does not work well with i7, use iatkos, which is basically boot-132. With iatkos v7, you pretty much is boot-132 with retail and works with i7. On iatkos website they have this message here: ISSUE 01:CORE i7 extrange behavior on boot.... Solution: Boot with the flag busratio=20 or use Voodoobased 9.7 kernel on DVD using the flag mach_970 on dvd boot prompt. If you still have problems, disable simutaneous multi-threading off and change active processor cores to 1. In Iatkos 7 check this stuff for everything (except for graphics, which you should know) Now Check the following iAtkos v7 Main System Chameleon V2 Extra Directory DSDT DSMOS 9.7.0 Kernel Voodo APIC Driver Disabler OHR Remove TyMCE AHCI Intel Sata/IDE Voodoo HDA driver Intel Gigabit Lan Drivers If you have gt200 do this...

The question is do I need special drivers for my ASUS 4870 since it's a GPU normally supported my Apple? I'm also having a problem getting past the reboot on install. This is using 123. I'm about to burn iATKOS 7 though and try from there instead. The error I keep getting back is that the logic board is giving a CPU Multiplier of 0 which Apple forces a reboot. So far the only real change I've made is to set the processor to High Performance rather than low power. This leave the multiplier set to 20 (my current setting) and I'll see if this works. Any other tips for me in getting this thing running? i7 920 DX58SO Intel X25-M 80GB 6GB DDR3-1600 Samsung SATA DVD ASUS EAH4870 DK 1GB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140745-boot-132-causes-reboots-on-dx58so-wcore-i7/#findComment-1237222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the processor performance made no difference either. Vanilla attempt with 123 bootloader still causes reboot too.

turtle2472 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 So I've tried to disable hyper threading, and the few other things I've seen listed. Seems like the issue is with my BIOS. The BIOS for my board is SOX5810J.86A.4196.2009.0715.1958. Any one get Mac OS X running on this board with this firmware? If you have it running on this board currently, which firmware are you using? Edit: Oh, and I've tried using iAKTOS v7 disk as well as Boot-123. Both fail at the same point in the Darwin loader.

Juiceman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 oh SNAP!!! so I got a retail copy of snow leopard working on the dx58so with chameleon and efi boot! I followed this tutorial yesterday and now have my system running smoothly with snow leopard. I followed this tutorial http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=185097 you need 2 drives to accomplish this but I can say it works! just replace the appropriate kext and you will have sound, ethernet, and video card working. My system Intel DX58SO Motherboard EVGA Nvidia 9800 GT OCZ 1333MHZ RAM In order to get everything to boot I had to set everything up in bios right, I set number of cpu's to 1 and disabled hyperthreading as well as switching from sata to ahci. After everything installed correctly I turned back on hyperthreading and cpu cores to all and everything still worked great! I even was able to update to 10.6.1 through updater and everything still works perfectly. If you were having as much trouble as me getting this mobo working with snow leopard, then you are stoked now, this is a very easy to follow tutorial that is pretty much completely automated, I dont know much of anything about efi and dsdt and all that other mumbo jumbo and I was able to use this tutorial and get it all working. I hope this helps many more DX58SO users out there since it is a very superior mobo.

hu jintao Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i think most of us who own a core i7 with a dx58so mobo are having this problem. it doesn't work in MS virtual PC too.
