Success, MSI P965 Platinum

[snutte]

Since I really havent found a thread about this great motherboard I might as well create on.

Downloaded the JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 and burned. Tried to boot (DVD on Jmicron IDE) but failed. Installed through vmware to a harddrive (on the Jmicron PATA) and booted up. It worked.

Network works as a charm, used the RealtekR1000_1.02.zip to get it working.

 

Sound on the other hand was tricky, fiddling around trying to find the correct dev and vendor {censored} I soon discovered that it has been in front of my on this forum the whole time.

1. Delete AppleHDA.kext:

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

2. Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for matching codec's proper ID:

sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

in Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver key

change the string to:

0x11d41988

3. Edit AppleAzaliaController.kext for matching ICH8 HDA interface proper ID:

sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):

IOPCIPrimaryMatch

change the string to:

0x284b8086

4. Refresh kext caches

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/

5. reboot

 

USB works, Firefire is reporting but I have no devices to try.

 

Neither do I have any SATA so I have no idea if those works yet.
