Asus P5Q Turbo (Not PRO)

[3ng1and]

Does anyone have any information about OSX Installs for the P5Q Turbo, the only results I have been able to find are the P5Q PRO Turbo, and all of the other P5Q series.

 

I am willing to update the bios with a patched one strictly for this purpose. I am fairly positive the rest of my system is compatible with this, but I dont want to spend hours on end trying to figure something out if there is already a pre-patched bios, or even a guide aimed towards the standard P5Q Turbo.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Also, I am attempting to use the new iAtkos 7 with this setup

 

ASUS P5Q Turbo

Intel Q6600

Corsair XMS2 4gb DDR2 800

ATI 4870 512mb

Same situation here. Trying to get the P5Q Turbo running on OSX. Trying several different options but don't have a lot of experience with this so we'll see how it turns out.

 

If I get it to work I'll let you know though.

Most recent update.

 

I got it up and running with iAtkos v7. Enabled AHCI in bios, 4870 up and running with QE/CI @ 1920x1080 resolution. I cant get it to boot without the cpus=1 flag, anyone here have a modded bios for the P5Q Turbo?

 

Other than that, I cant get Audio and Lan to work, once I get those to work, everything will be set up and ready to go.

 

Ok, so I lied.

 

 

Audio works just fine, now need to fix the DDST and Lan. after that its party time

 

 

Thanks for anyone that can help, with atleast the lan issue for now

I fixed the Ethernet issue, now everything is working except the ddst (cpus=1 flag needed every boot) so if someone could please help me find a solution, or a patched bios, this would be greatly appreciated

download DSDT_Patcher, look here first

Run DSDT_Patcher in term. vi in term and delete four lines at top of file, aliases of CPU. Run DSDT_Patcher again on dsdt.dsl file like so

sudo ./DSDT_P* -f Debug/dsdt.dsl

sudo cp dsdt.aml /DSDT.aml

 

Thats it restart. If you have chameleon 2 put dsdt.aml rename as DSDT.aml (very important) in top level directory of EFI next to kernel.

 

How did you fix ethernet? I was thinking it might just be a vendor id or device id or something like that really have not looked into it.

Thanks for this, I will try it out and report.

 

Also, for the ethernet, I found another 1e kext on the forums, and it just ended up working. which I have attached

Ok, so I am still being retarded and can't quite figure this out (honestly, I have never used vi) if you have time, is there any way you could go into a little more detail of exactly what I have to do?

 

Thank you for all your help. i'm being really stupid about this last part, and its frustrating

Bump for helping a noob

 

thanks

[Severnaya]

one of my friends told me to update the bios to bios 0401 and it should work.

Hi, I am using P5Q Turbo either, have you got your PC running well on OSX?

 

Could you please give some suggestion on how to install iATKOS v7. I mean, how to set up BIOS, and which options to choose in iATKOS v7?

 

Really thanks.

I also have a Asus P5Q Turbo with quad-core CPU. I am now trying iAtkos v7 however after installation I am stuck at the using 16384 buffer thing. Can you remember at all what optional drivers/patches you selected during the iAtkos install to make it work?

 

I'll appreciate the feedback, thanks.

Open the dsdt.dsl in TextEdit(Open With)

 

You should see these lines(not exactly, these are mine);

 

Scope (_PR)

{

Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}

Processor (P002, 0x02, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

Alias bah bah

Processor (P003, 0x03, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

Processor (P004, 0x04, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

Alias bah bah

 

{

 

Remove the two "Alias" lines and make it look like this

 

Scope (_PR)

{

Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}

Processor (P002, 0x02, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

Processor (P003, 0x03, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

Processor (P004, 0x04, 0x00000000, 0x00) {}

}

 

 

In the terminal, cd into where your dsdt patcher is and run

sudo ./DSDT*Patcher -f Debug/dsdt.dsl

 

This is assuming your patcher name is the same, just put yours in if it's different.

 

Copy the dsdt.aml to your root partition, i.e your volume name / and rename it DSDT.aml
