Solution for Buit in Firewire EX58-UD5 Snow Leopard?

[ncc1701]

I have searched and searched, tried everything and no go.

 

I must have missed a crucial step.

 

I installed SL using DD script.

 

everything working except firewire.

 

Any help would be marvelous.

 

Thanks

10.6.2 still no firewire

 

Which DD script version 4.22?

 

maybe plist fix?

 

anyone?

 

thanks

hi there i had the same problem as u up until just now. wat i did was i used dd's script to make me a usb installer. however my bios wouldn't post w/his usb installer on my thumb drive. perhaps u will hav better luck. wat i really used out of this was the extra folder that his script created. in case u hav a problem like i did, i deleted the boot file on the thumb drive after dd's script created it. i then used lifehacker's guide (http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build-a-hackintosh-with-snow-leopard-start-to-finish) to add the bootloader to the usb stick using chameleon rc3 and netkas 10.5. once finished i selected the thumbdrive in my bios to boot and then installed OSX using it. for some reason it worked that way to give me my firewire working again. i am assuming because of the extra folder in the usb drive that dd's script created that utilizes specifics for the ud5 motherboard. after that i used dd's script that was copied to the thumb drive as well to install the bootloader and neccessary kexts to the hard drive. i hope this helps. i hav been working on this forever and i wanted to try and help u out as well.
