DSDT Concerns

[Pyrokenesis_17]

Hello there,

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have been surveying the OSX86 scene for quite a while, and only recently, after a good year of trying, I was able to get an OS X to work on my hardware, boy was it tough! Anyways, I have been messing around with OS X and have decided I want to try out Snow Leopard.

 

Here's my dilema... I am trying to run Snow Leopard but I am having a tough time installing (through OS X OR through installer). First off, I shall say I am trying to do a multiboot computer. The Harddrive is a 500gb WD Caviar, MBR/GPT hybrid. It has Win 7, Snow Leopard, Win XP, Ubuntu with Chameleon RC3 Bootloader installed on EFI. Of course, this setup isnt complete without Snow, but I can't install Snow through leopard or through the installer, as mentioned above. I recovered the Snow Leopard DVD to a partition on a different harddrive, but I get KP as soon as I try to load it, something relating to storage, not sure exactly. Also, every time I do that my BIOS gets reset, and the bios settings are essential to getting ANY OS X to run, so I cant afford to set them again each time. Apparently, DSDT can solve this, but I am unable to re-compile a DSDT.aml through OS X, i get a bunch of errors and no dsdt.aml file is ever created... I know what patch is required to stop the CMOS reset, but am unable to create it.

 

Also, I have read that it is possible to patch the BIOS of the motherboard to (correct me if im wrong) include these DSDT patches in it? And EFI Strings as well?? How can I go about doing this? Is it safe? Will all the functions still work??? Please, someone shed some info on this DSDT and its value, Thank you.

 

My specs are:

Asus Striker II Extreme - nVidia 790i Ultra SLI

2 x 2 GB DDR3 1333 mhz OCZ HPC RAM

500GB Western Digital Caviar (Multi OS) - SATA

18gb (OS X) - IDE

250GB Maxtor (Snow Leopard Install) - SATA

2 x 9800 GTX

Intel Q9650 Quad Core

 

Anyone able to help?? Thank you so much!
