Hello! I seem to be in a pickle. I was having the same problems and followed the steps that seem to have worked for others. The problem is that now it seems that my OS doesn't seem to be recognized and it wants to try and do a fresh install of Yosemite! Yikes! The steps I followed were...

Sorry about the bad post. Helps if you remember that you changed out your motherboard! A few years ago.

Having an issue here. I got the DSDT from the database (f10 since that is what my machine is on). If I place the aml in the /Extra directory after the install (of Mavericks) and try to boot using the UniBeast it just hangs at "Waiting for Device". If I remove the file a I can boot into...

Thanks for the reply MacMan. I followed the link you provided. Though I don't know quite how to replace the kext so here is what I did (sorry I'm a newcomer from Windows world) I extracted the zip file Legacy889HDA.kext.zip in my Downloads folder. I removed...

Grom and everyone else thanks for your help! I followed this tutorial and was able to get 10.6.2 working (didn't want to try 6.3 since this was my first build!) I think everything that I have tested so far is working. I still have to try things like Firewire etc as needed and hopefully they...
