Hi!
This is my computer:
Intel 17 2600K 3,40 GHz
Intel DH67CL mobo with Sandy Bridge chipset.
Nvidia Geforce GTX 550ti 1536MB
16 GB DDR3 Ram.
I was trying to install Snow Leopard on my PC following Tony's guide step by step but I read that my NVIDIA doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
I used Multibeast for Snow Leopard to install drivers:
-Easy Beast (Chimera. .... FakeSMC.kext, LegacyAppleRTC.kext, EvOreboot.kext, JMicron36xATA.kext, AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext in / Extra / Extensions. Installs 32 - Bit org.chameleon.Boot.plist with GraphicsEnabler = Yes, Apple Boot Screen and NPCI = 0x2000 kernel flag, MacPro3, one smbios.plist .... etc)
- Realtek ALC8xx -> ALC8xxHDA / AppleHDA Rollback / ALC892 (Non-DSDT HDA Enabler).
-Hnak's AppleIntelE1000e
Everything works minus NVIDIA.
The next step was to install Unibeast for Lion 10.7 but it don't load on my SL so I used the tony's xMove - Lion 1.5.1 guide to set the installation on a usb disk
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com.es/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html
After the installation I lost the sound but my Nvidia worked and Shutdown works ....
The next step was to update Lion 10.7 to 10.7.5 with the combo updater and Multibeast for Lion and I lost the sound and I get the shutdown problem. I tried to read everything about this problem and the problem of DH67CL with sound, internet and shutdown. (I do not check the Sleep but it's not important to me.)
Finally I found this thread mentioned in other threads talking about how to install DH67CL but they are for MOUNTAIN LION and I don't know if it works for LION 10.7.5 . Seems a little mess and I download MaciASL (Lion Version) and the OS can't open it. I try some of the installation steps and custom kexts that my OS let me but I only got panic problems, boots with no return and I had to reinstall the OS again and again....(I didn't do it well or my 10.7 didn't let it).
Finally I remembered that after the installing of Snow Leopard following all steps to updade to 10.6.8 for Sandy Bridge chispset I had get work everything minus NVIDIA and with the LION 10.7 my NVIDIA works but not the sound.... So I opened Multibeast without Update to 10.7.5 and I installed EasyBeast and kext for ALC892 and the Nvidia (OpenCL).....but the sound didn't work.
So what I've done is open Multibeast for Snow Leopard and I reinstalled the EasyBeast and the first installation kext I describe in Snow Leopard installation (ALC8xxHDA / AppleHDA Rollback / ALC892 (Non-DSDT HDA Enabler) and EasyBeast). I don't remember if after this I get the sound or I had to run Multibeast for Lion taking only the kext for ALC892 (Non-DSDT HDA Enabler) but now I have a PC with Lion 10.7 with sound, graphics card, internet and shutdown .... works.
I have a lot of questions
:
Do I need to have the latest update (OS 10.7.5) to work with all applications correctly (I use photo apps, hd video editing app, sound studio app, ...)?
How can I know if my computer works 100% (cpu speed, ram, ... all!)?
I see in "about this mac" I have all the information but in Snow Leopard "it" lied me. It show my NVIDIA but couldn't change the resolution and I don't trust in his information.
Have I done the right thing or I have to pay again for ML and try to do all the steps of your installation guide?
Sorry for my english...I'm spanish...perhaps you don't understand it at all. If this is helpful for someone I can try to explain it better but basically I install Multibeast for Snow Leopard on Lion and then I get the sound kext from Multibeast for Lion(this is not sure...I do a lot of things in my computer this week...If the sound doesn't work try to install ALC892 (Non-DSDT HDA Enabler) )
I need to know If I have to update to 10.7.5 with the risk of the shutdown problem and sound (again) or my 10.7 is OK to work with it.
Thanks to everybody who is trying to help with guides!!!
