Go to tonymax blog and look for iboot and multibeast. Tony has a generic guide on how to make installation from retail dvd, I did mine two days ago, had a problem but realised that sandy bridge wasn't supported by iboot but works with iboot legacy. Give a try, guide is there.

QUOTE(jiro1986 @ Mar 28 2011, 01:43 PM) My Alienware m17x R3 gonna arrive.. It might work, do a google on m17xr3 and tonymacx86 and you'll find someone has it running with ATI 5870. Apple has just released 6870 support in the latest 10.6.7, so probably you can get native resolution.. what you need to do is .. to test it out.. get the iboot legacy, burn it into either CD or USB drive.. and have your OSX retail DVD (or copy it to USB drive).. ready..anyone know is it possible to install OSX ??

Installing Hackintosh is surely not for those who have faint hearted .. I've got it running on my GA-P67A-UD3-B3 & i5 2400, but a slight change .. and you'll get a broken system. Sometime, you just do not know what went wrong.. especially the new Sandy Bridge based motherboards. My advice for any who're trying to build a Hackintosh from Sandy Bridge, forget it for now. Better spend your time with other stuff
Oh .. one more thing, if you've got a system running .. create another partition and have a copy of the OS in that separate partition as backup. |

If you've existing setup, you don't really need iBoot .. what you need is the 10.6.7 updater and Multibeast.
sleepenabler can be found either in /System/Library/Extensions or in the /Extra/Extensions Try going into single user mode (at boot, add -s option) .. I've no idea if you're using Chameleon .. if yes, at the boot flash screen, press any key and then type -s and enter .. it will bring you into single user mode.. you can then remove the sleepenabler after mounting your volume. Sleep enabler is needed only if you want to let your system to sleep properly .. as of mine .. it went to sleep but it won't wake up.. found out that SandyBridge mobos all having almost similar problem.. so, for now, I set mine to never sleep..

QUOTE(RaplaJingga @ Apr 6 2011, 02:33 PM) Hi Wiraone. im successfully on Hackintosh 10.6.7. Yes, you can download a carbon copy cloner, it is a free software. What you can do is to have a hfs+ partition in your external drive, you don't need the exact same space, just enough to have everything in there.. 10GB should be more than enough .. and use CCC to copy the system partition to the new drive. Can u guide me how to make this harddisk to external hard disk backup? i want to use it if my hackintosh crash. any software that can copy all the drive to another drive? You can then test this out by either 1) boot directly from the USB/external drive by specifying in the BIOS or 2) during boot, just hit any keys, I believe it will list out all drives that have OS in there and will let you choose which one to boot. Good luck. |

OT: so I've PMed you instead
Added on April 7, 2011, 5:43 pmBack to the hackintosh topic: Anybody else on Sandy Bridge? I'm trying to use DSDT but it just doesn't want to work for me. I found an .AML for my motherboard (GA P67A-UD3-B3 BIOS F2). What the easiest to make the bootloader to use the DSDT file? Do I just shove it into the /Extra folder? I tried this and it doesn't work, so I tried using MultiBeast, the AML in my desktop .. it seems to 'work' (I mean the bootloader probably use it), but I get a black screen instead. Configuration that I have: GA P67A-UD3-B3-F2 Bios, i5 2400, 4GB RAM, 1TB HD, GT430 graphics card. I'm trying to get either the sleep or hibernate to work and best to have the power button calling the shutdown window when it is pressed.. but this doesn't work either  This post has been edited by wiraone: Apr 7 2011, 05:43 PM |

I've updated mine to 10.6.7 and the kernel shown by uname is 10.7.3 after I run the BridgeHelper. My boot.plist has the mach_kernel string in it. Someone has it working on his setup, but I just couldn't get mine to work.i think sandy bridge user hv to wait for some more time ...hope apple will release update(maybe lion) which kernel can support it ..like b4 i7 and i5 proc This post has been edited by wiraone: Apr 8 2011, 06:41 PM |

The pc that I use to generate the aml/dsl wasn't booted with DSDT, veriied this using demsg and all the required kexts in E/E are there except the EllionForce (may I know what this kext for?).
I'm using Nvidia GT430 and it has 1GB, bootloader is Chameleon 2.0rc5 with Sandy Bridge support. Added on April 9, 2011, 10:39 amOh btw, the dsl file is unpatched from dsdtse. I really need read back all the info about this dsdt file. I will take a look at the patcher that you mentioned. The pc is now at my dughter's room.. Told her that never ever to put the thing on sleep This post has been edited by wiraone: Apr 9 2011, 10:39 AM |

I'll try to compare the dsl found on the net and one that is generated from my mobo and see if they're the same.

Yup, followed his guide, there few other guys who can't get the sleep to work. Probably due to the kernel used? If you checked toward the end of that thread, you'll see some of my posts too

Digswell, thanks.. BTW, there is something wrong with my extracted dsl file, you can see the diff in the tonymac thread. I believe that probably the main reason mine goes to black/blank screen when I specified the DSDT file.
Added on April 9, 2011, 4:25 pmDigswell, here is my IORegistry file. It seems that the DSDT.aml generated by autopatcher has the wrong base address, the IORegistry file seems to be pointing to the correct address 0xf0000000 while the one in .aml generated by either autopatcher or the one generated when I run ubuntu is pointing to 0xf4000000.
