Asrock Z68 Pro3 got it running flawlessly

[jwong]

Wow, nice. I've had no luck at all getting my Asrock P67 Pro3 running. Did the install fine, but even after MultiBeast + BridgeHelper + Chimera1.4, it still reboots instantly after starting to load. The only thing that will boot into it is the legacy bootloader.

Maybe I should replace the mb with something else.

Could you make a dsdt dump for me? Just wanna do a compare with my plain dsdt.

I don't have the reboot problem anymore with Chimera 1.4. However i keep getting a kp on the usb kexts.

Martin--that's great! Congrats. I am debating between an Asrock board (the one with on board firewire) and similar Gigabyte. Is everything working? Do I interpret correctly that you cannot boot in 64 bit mode?

@solstice

everything is working as expected... and very fast;-)

Hi Martin,

Do you mean that your CPU is running at 33x or more... ?
Also,what about Pwr management ?

Thanks

Did you set the multiplier to 32x?

Hi Folks,
since Yesterday evening in the Chat Room (many thx to tonymac, he supported me) my new System is up and running.

The Mainboard is very cheap (only 100,-)

Here are my steps for setting up this baby.
Booting up with iboot.3.03
System Installation 10.6.0, then
Combo update + MultiBeast + BridgeHelper + Chimera1.4

after the full known procedures... the sytem came up directly from the hardrive..., BUT got no network nor audio!
But MultiBeast made this working... maybe there is a better and faster way.... anyway it is working.

here are my specs:
Mainboard Asrock Z68 pro3,
CPU 2500k,
16gig ram (Team--Elite-1333)
GeForce 6600
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
Kernel-Version: Darwin 10.7.3
64-Bit-Kernel and -Erweiterungen: Nein
Audio: Audio-ID: 892 (the new ALC892Enabler.pkg is working perfect)
Kext-Name: AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext

minor Problem:
Unknown AHCI Standard Controller:

Hersteller: Unknown
Produkt: AHCI Standard Controller
Beschreibung: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported

i did not know who the manufactor is!!!

Excellent !!! I waiting for my order, it will get on thursday or friday so will go straight away.
Once again happy whit you ;-).
I cant wait to see how will this work for asrock + i7 2600k ;-)

One question, did you update osx after instalation ? Your kernel is 10.7.3 ? How?

 

[TurbineSeaplane]

Did you set the multiplier to 32x?

NO everything is set to default in the mobo.[/quote]

Did you try setting the multiplier to 32?
That's desirable, as my ASRock P67 was initially set (with defaults) to 33 instead of 32.

same problem here, installed fine on my asus k50in
can only boot into mac by typing in PCIRootUID=1 on the bootloader
