Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you all the community around here ... even if this is my first post all the knowledge dwelled in those post helped me a great deal!
I've built an hackintosh based on Lion with the following spec:
Intel 2600K
Asus Maximus IV Extreme Z
12Gb Ram Corsair Dominator 1600
nVidia GTX590
Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium PCI-EX
How I installed it:
Hi guys! Don't know if it's still needed but as some people asked (and even if I'm f.ing late...) I'm gonna post the exact sequence on how I installed OSX on my rig.
What do you need:
- My Rig
- Lion OSX UNIBEAST Install on a USB drive ; or install from Dvd using Rboot
- A compiled DSDT !
3203 DSDT available in the attachments, plus the patch.txt file that I used.
Anyway it's always best to compile it by urself!
- The correct "SpeedStepper" script for the right version of Lion or S.Leopard. ( Not needed with MODDED BIOS, see below)
- The GTX 5xx Enabler ( Included in the Multibeast 4.3.1 package!)
- The Kext that I use for my SB Titanium PCI EX (kudos to someone, somewhere)
Remarks:
- To properly recognize and enable my GTX 590 under Lion OSX I had to put it in the first PCIEX Slot (the 8x one), otherwise it won't work.
-If installing from a Snow Leopard DVD, I had to plug my GTX 590 in the second PCIEX slot (the 16x one), otherwise I couldn't reach the setup screen, could have been boot Dvd related. This doesn't apply in the case your installing directly Lion OSX from USB.
-My Bios settings are at default, apart from the overclock and that I disabled all the SATA Controllers except form the Intel one of course. EHCI on/off doesn't seem to matter.
-I never tried to use the OnBoard HD Audio
-Recover from Hibernation won't work properly if you have an external HD; sometimes it might work out of luck
(SLEEP CORRECTLY WORKING WITH LATEST 3203 MODDED BIOS, btw ethernet card needs latest kext to recover from sleep)
Installing sequence:
- Boot from Usb Unibeast drive and Install Lion OSX (use latest version for Osx 1.0.7.3)
- Once installed, boot from USB again, choose Lion installation, go past the welcome screen of the OS and update it to your likings.
- Reboot again from USB. Use "SpeedStepper" as described in it's post. If you avoid this step you'll get spanked by endless Kernel Panics. ( You can avoid this step if using 3203 modded bios, seek more info below)
- Copy Multibeast and the DSDT file together somewhere (e.g on the desktop). Dsdt file should be named "DSDT.aml"
- Run Multibeast and choose USER DSDT install option. Also tick the kexts for the LAN Adapter (hnak's Appleintel...), and TRIM kext if you have an SSD .
- Run GTX 5xx Enabler, install it with default options (no injector) or Choose Nvidia Gtx enabler in Multibeast.
- Put VodooHDA.kext on desktop and install with KextBeast, Install PrefPane too.
- Reboot -> ? -> Profit!
UPDATE BIOS 3203:
Now it's possible to run OSX without having to use the Flaked Speedstepper patch , that means native cpu throttling.
The Bios is 3203 Modded bios is available here http://bios4asus.blogspot.com.es/
Thx samisnake!
Also thanks to Brycv it's also possible to correctly patch the DSDT! Audio is supposed to work too.
See attachments for 3203 DSDT.aml + the patch.txt if you want to compile it for yourself (thx again Brycv)
That's about how I install my OSX everytime I want to.
