I haven't tried it yet, but the new BIOS supposedly elminates the need for any kexts or dsdt.aml.

excerpt from post:

I'm proud to announce here the result of my last 2 months of work on this project.

This project consists on a hacked gigabyte bios file (based on the latest F9f beta bios for the EP43-DS3L board and the latest F9 bios for the EP45-UD3L) wich you can flash to your motherboard (ONLY) trough Clean Q-Flash (without entering Bios Setup before Q-Flash), and, once booted, have a normal functional computer for any ACPI OS (such as Windows Linux and Mac), and the possibility to boot under Mac OS X with enhanced features normally achieved trough the use of a DSDT.aml file.

The Final idea is having a bios that boots OSX without the need of any DSDT.aml stored on your disk (we will still need a bootloader for EFI/GPT for now but i pretend to
implement that into bios in future releases).

I decided to release my latest stable version at once. It includes these (and other) capabilities to OS-X booted WITHOUT DSDT.aml:

With this Bios you will no longer need a DSDT.aml and will no longer need kexts like OpenHaltRestart, SleepEnabler, PMDisabler, HDAEnabler (Legacyhda still needed), SMBUSEnabler.

Between the features of this BIOS is:

  • No need for DSDT.aml
  • Mac Display image instead of gigabyte's one
  • Bios Setup sounds in sound boxes(not loud)
  • Native PowerManagement correctly loaded
  • Shutdown Fix (still long shutdown time, arround 10 to 20 seconds but no need for kexts)
  • CMOS-reset bug fix for Snow Leo
  • USB 1.1 and 2.0 seen as internal with sleep capability
  • Native SMBus loading
  • Full Sleep and Wake capability.
  • Full AHCI hotplug capability
  • HDEF Audio (eliminates HDAEnabler)

I have the motherboard for this but am not going to do it just yet, it look good though and this is a major step for hackintosh. I am using the Kakewalk method and am very happy with the results. My hackintosh is almost 100% perfect and everything is working.

cyberderf - The way I use my machine I don't enable sleep or standby so I have not tested that and I have an issue with copying large video files from the Hack to my Windows 7 machine, when I do that I get error-36, I am not sure if this is an osx issue or hack but it works fine from my windows 7 laptop to my windows 7 desktop. other then that, my hack is as solid as my Mac Book Pro

EP45-UD3L (Cartri's BIOS Flashed)

nVidia GTX 260

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16Ghz

I have no access to a Mac unfortunately. Any suggestions for a fresh install guide using Cartri's BIOS would be great.
