Asus P8P67Pro (rev3) Was working b4 upgraded to patched 3K

Hi All,
Long time Lurker, first time poster and thanks to all those here who make doing this stuff fun (most of the time )

My Hackintosh was working excellently (don't believe in "If it aint broke") apart form usual sleep related issues, so I turned it all off anyway. Thought I was Christmas when the patch BIOS and DSDT was released.

My BIOS was originally on 2103 and all was well with the world so figured I would install the new DSDT that was associated with the BIOS. Excellent. System doesnt lockup now with the HDD going nuts and spinning for 30 odd secs with only the mouse moving.

So, to cut a long story short, I upgraded the BIOS to the Patched 3207 version and no booting / posting issues.

The system did require to flash twice. No problem, did as required. Windows booted OK, so thought I would see how OS X now performs and get some new multibeast action on the go.....

Not to be, boots to a grey apple screen and thats all.

Cant boot from my Unibeast drive, same issue. Tried safe mode and verbose to see the output and it wont get that far

So, any advice would be good! I havent tried the rBoot disc yet...

Cheers!

Did you remove your original DSDT file? 3k BIOS is completely different and an existing DSDT will no longer function.

So try booting without loading the DSDT.

Nope - In my haste I didnt.

Can I avoid booting DSDTs when Chimera boots?

 

[seanoporno]

Hmmmm... Ive managed to rebuild my Unibeast USB drive by installing 10.6.8 in a virtualbox session in windows.

Boot from it, and it just hangs on the grey apple boot screen... notice there is a new unibeast today. will try that....

boot with DSDT=Null at the chimera stage.

your old dsdt wont work with the 3k bios

Thanks Samisnake - I love you.

seeing as my time is pretty limited these days, could someone direct me to a P8P67 Pro (Rev3) DSDT for 3K BIOS? I just dont have time to compile my own

I have the same board and was wondering if the DSDT in the database will ever be updated for the 3207 BIOS. If not:

1. Is there a way to downgrade the BIOS back to 2103?
2. Is the DSDT really neccessary, or can I just install the kexts using multibeast?
3. Can anyone direct me to a guide for creating a DSDT for myself?

I was able to make a working DSDT on a P8P67LE (3206) using the tutorial here:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=35559

and the generic Asus P8 patch (attached)

The final error to fix was:

11965 Error _HID suffix must be all hex digits (GH)

which was fixed by replacing "ABDCEFGH" with PNP0C15
