ieronim Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just want to give anyone interested a heads up regarding the Supermicro X8DTL-i dual Xeon board. I FINALLY got it to work after two weeks of hell. The showstopper was dsdt. Basically, the board won't boot OSX if more than 1 core was enabled in the BIOS, even after patching the dsdt with the usual tool (fossl's). To make it work, I had to manually edit dsdt'dsl, remove all lines containing a CPU alias, then compile it to dsdt.aml. I am using Chameleon 2.0RC3, and my Extra folder contains: - the patched dsdt.aml - Disabler.kext - fakesmc.kext To get the network to work, I used this guide, which is for a similar ASUS board: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;mode=threaded Hope it helps someone!

Did you try to install Snow Leopard? Could you give us any more info about your setup hardware and how you did it? What works and what does not work? I am interested in some of the other Dual Xeon X8 series SM MBs.

halflifedigital12 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Did you try to install Snow Leopard?Could you give us any more info about your setup hardware and how you did it? What works and what does not work? I am interested in some of the other Dual Xeon X8 series SM MBs. Thanks I have one of these boards and I'm trying to make it work as a hackintosh. I'm a shiny noob, so I'd be very interested in a step by step and would you be willing to share your edited file? Thanks much.
