Hi!
I have been searching for a tuturial to install Mac Os X 10.6.7 on a Asus Rampage III Gene and i have gather some info and after a day of experiment i made it with everything fully working (except pausing the system - a common issue that has not been solved yet...).
So, you just need iBoot + Multibeast (Latest versions) and a retail DVD of Mac OS X 10.6 installer. (Oficial version from apple)
First, make sure that you have your Sata HD on sata 6GB/S port (Sata 3 ports - red Connectors).Don´t forget to set all interfaces to AHCI mode and ACPI to S3 mode in BIOS!!!
After that you can boot from iBoot cd. When you reach the boot selector, you must remove de iBoot cd and insert the Mac OS X 10.6 Install DVD. Wait a few seconds and then press F5 to refresh the list so you can find the DVD.
You must write "PCIRootUID=1" (without quotes) as boot flag for the DVD if you are not able to reach the installation wizard. (Don´t forget to limit disk partition to 1TB or you may not be able to boot from it due to Chameleon restrtions...)
After installing the Mac OS X you must boot again from the iBoot and then boot to Mac OS X recently installed.
On Mac OS X you must run update for 10.6.7 (may use combo update from apple website or apple software updater...). Do not restart your computer after finishing the update. Run Multibeast and then follow this installation tuturial depending on your graphics card. -> http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/03/ ... -from.html .
You must add the NEC USB 3.0 driver to enable USB 3.0 ports.
You can avoid installing audio and get latest VoodooHDA driver from here: http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/downloads/list
You can avoid Instant Menu option to if you want to have a chameleon timeout to boot options to make it boot automatically.
Reeboot the computer and make sure you don´t boot from the CD...
After booting you can enable 64 bit boot by editing com.apple.boot.plist (Extra folder) and replacing the "arch=i386" for "arch=x86_64".
To set chameleon timeout just make and entry similar to the others with Timeout as Key and the time as String...
Save and reeboot and enjoy!
