thanks, but I still didn't get it :(

 

1 Try)

 

- tried to crossflash my P5K with the P5KR BIOS:

AFUDOS Tool tells me, the BIOS version is not for my computer (P5K vs. P5KR)

 

- made USB Stick with GUID Partition, installed chameleon with the RC4 installer

- copied the Snow Leopard image to the Partition (with the restore tool and without deleting)

- copied:

dsmos.kext

AttansicL1Ethernet.kext

AppleHDA.kext

ALCinject.kext

to /Extra/Extensions

- assigned read access

 

The installer crashes before the GUI comes up with:

<panic> Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):

com.apple.dsmos(1.0.0d1)

 

2 Try)

Found USB Image on http://www.kexts.com/view/115-asus_p5k.html

restored image to an USB stick but nothing happens on boot, just a blinking cursor.

You need to cross flash first and the only thing that should be in the extensions folder is dsmos.kext on the usb stick the others should be installed using kext utility once snow leopard is installed on your hard drive. To crossflash you need to type:

 

AFUDOS /n /iNAME.rom

 

or

 

AFUDOS /iName.rom /n

 

The /n syntax allows you to bypass the motherboard id check. This is all done in pure dos, not command prompt so you need to make a bootable usb stick or floppy and place AFUDOS and your rom on it and boot the computer with it. Then type the above replacing NAME with the rom name. You then must set your system to defaults and set all sata including jmicron to achi.

 

I'm probably going to revert back to win 7 only for now as the annoying sleep ethernet problems, low audio as well as a few kernel panics when trying to restart are too frequent for my taste. Good luck.

Hi,

 

no change on my mainboard, I already tried it the first time with this method. But no success.

AFUDOS1..3 are the three different versions I found on the Asus homepage.

 

The error message is:

ERROR: ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.

 

I tryed "afudos /n /iROMFILE" and "afudos /iROMFILE /n"

I just did a (long) install of 10.6.2 on my p5k deluxe. took me a while bc i installed to diff partitions on diff drives then shuffled them around to have 10.6.2 on main drive partition. anyway..I used 10.5.8 to format the partition, then installed using the osinstall.pkg. Using chameleon 2 rc4, with custom efi strings for my 8800gt and 8600gt. haven't gotten my ide dvd drive to work yet tho. everything else seems good =]
