Hi,

I'm trying to do the same build than the one posted at this thread's begin.

When I watch the MultiBeast install chart, I see that patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement box is checked, and it looks that MultiBeast version is the Lion one. So I wonder which version is chosen since the most recent possible in that MultiBeast is for Ivy Bridge.
MacPro6,1 is Ivy bridge CPU but when I tried using that smBios with Sandybridge it wouldn't work at all.
With the powerful 2680 cpu's you want power management and looking at those original kexts being applied it would suggest it was a problem area for those cpu's, there is no point in applying the patched AICPUPM and also having the NullCPUPM as well. The solution will be in here somewhere.

I remember having a real difficult time getting ssdtPRGen to generate a power management solution getting lots of smbios, cpu family and motherboard incompatibility errors and warnings. I eventually sourced some cheap ES version Ivy-bridge cpu's and then the MacPro6,1 was achievable out the box so to speak.

Ok, but why does it look so easy when i read some posts about that type of build (Z9PE-D8 WS + E5 V1)?

I updated my mobo to the last BIOS maybe it was a mistake?

Thank you for your help.

Not at all - If I remember rightly the MSR0x02 was locked until version 5304 or something like that. So you have done the right thing there.

If you look to the first post, he says he used OS X Lion, the detection/protection routines were not that great in Lion, and it made it a relatively simple install with Legacy boot. With each passing release however OS X has constantly changed things around which has frequently busted working installations. Sadly it's the way of the Hackintosh.

I'll try installing Lion to delete any other possible issues then. I'll keep you in touche.

Good luck with that :) I can't get Lion 10.7 here anymore in the UK.

So it says yes - but I purchased a copy three or four weeks ago and despite the funds showing as paid I have no redemption code to be able to download it, and it does not show in my App Store for download. Since I use Hackintosh based computer(s) I have not chased it up just incase there is something not right with my build ....

I would definitely chase them - The transaction takes place outside of installation - The validity of your build is null.
 
Done chasing it up, apparently you can not download the Lion OS X 10.7 unless you are running Snow Leopard, so that explains why I can't see it. And I totally missed the redemption code in the EULA, but yes I had it all along ... Doh! :crazy:

That's a bit odd, I have Lion in my purchase history so I just tried to download it on my MBP running El Capitan and it is downloading now.

Edit :

The download completed but when it tried to run :

The installer remains in /Applications though.
