turtle2472 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm having a challenge getting it installed as well. When attempting to install Darwin gives a message saying the CPU multiplier is reporting 0 and Apple will force a reboot. This is from a vanilla disk and iATKOS 7. Any tips or fixes?

Juiceman Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 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, to get video card fully working you must use osx86tools to add an efi string for your video card. My system Intel DX58SO Motherboard Core i7 920 CPU 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishak Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ...just replace the appropriate kext and you will have sound, ethernet, and video card working... Could you please post KEXTs you used for Audio - the ones supplied for GA-EX58-UD5 don't work for DX58SO. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the small tree drivers but those don't work either! Don't know what to do. I am using a Linksys USB200m for now but I want to get it working. Everything else is great! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
