jazzyjoepass Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Anyone here has success stories on Supermicro mobos? I already got an earlier machine working on X7DAL-E+ with dual Harpertowns for sometime now. I'm currently working on the newer X8DAL-3 mobo. So far not too bad. Got it up working. Used Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r518. Still some items to work through. I've got dual L5520 (low voltage) Nehalems installed and running. I had to boot into Ubuntu Live CD to grab the DSDT files first. I had to edit AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext (pci1000,59) to get the onboard LSI 1068E SAS ports to work as regular SATA interfaces (also require firmware change to IT mode - provided by Supermicro). Can't boot from them ports though. I also edited IONetworkingFamily.kext to get the two onboard Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet ports working. I used IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext to get rid of the orange icons so that the main harddrive (that's connected to the ICH10 interface) appears with the correct silver ones. My E/E folder includes AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext IONetworkingFamily.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext FakeSMC.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
