Uptown_J Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Ok first a little about my rig... ECS 945GCT-M Mobo Pentium Dual Core 2160 2 Gbytes Ram Nvidia 7600GS 2 Sata Hard Drives 1 IDE Hard Drive 1 IDE DVD-RW I have been using Leopard on this rig since 10.5.0 Brazilmac. I had done all efi up to v8, vanilla updates to v10.5.5 and minor patches here and there for sound and video. Everything had been running smoothly for so long I just stopped paying attention. I went to do an update to 10.5.6 and I completely borked my system. Long story short, I have finally rebuilt my system UP TO v10.5.5 with the generous help of our friend LTL who posted this article: Retail DVD Guide, 10.5.6, PC-EFIv9 installer, EFI studio ... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=86167 I managed to mirror my 10.5.5 to a second drive, ran the 10.5.6 update on that and this time my sound went away, no ethernet, and time literally would go missing. Thanks to our friend Nemphys I found the solution to be simple and remove my AppleHPET.kext. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...141590&st=0 Can someone please be kind enough to tell me what is going on with DSDT.aml and AppleHPET? I found that those were causing my more problems on my motherboard than it was worth. I have decided NOT to do the patch, I am staying with EFI v9 and a vanilla 10.5.6 for now. Are those needed only for the newer P45/Corei7 motherboards? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/144936-what-the-heck-is-with-1056/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptown_J Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 AFIK the release version of 10.5.6 does not require DSDT patching.......this is my own experience too..... So okay I have searched the forums to find out when DSDT is needed, but maybe my search parameters are not on up to par. I am asking because I would like to take this machine and move it to a media hub. This would most likely become a Windows box in the process. However I want another hackintosh in preparation for snow leopard etc. Would I need it for newer boards or something? I am looking at some of the Gigabyte boards - Intel - probably p45 chipset. I will do research but it would be nice to have some background on what DSDT is used for.
