Does Intel's New X79 Support Lion? [SOCKET 2011]

[amorph]

Re: If intel new X79 support lion?

After many trials I found this way to install Lion on a Asus X79 Pro board using unibeast the best.

Have the lastest version of Multibeast on a USB Drive.

The drive you want to install onto should be on the second Sata 3 port. Shows up as P2 in bios or P1 when the system boots. Just for the installation change to "EFI Compatable ROM" within the boot settings. Also disable all the other Sata controllers. And you might want to disable the CPU smart fan option.

When your system boots press F8 and the boot from your Unibeast drive. Hit enter to intall. If it does not get there try again but type "PCIRootUID=1" before you hit enter.

Delete all partitions on the drive and then make 1 new one the size you want.
Install.

When your system restarts press F8 again and boot from your unibeast drive. This time you choose the drive you installed OSX on. If it doesn't get there try again typing "PCIRootUID=1" again before you hit enter.

Once you have finished putting in your details run multibeast.
These options should be marked.

EasyBeast install
System Utilities
ALC8xxHDA
ALC892
VoodooHDA 0.2.1
IOAHCIBlockstorageinjector
FakeSMC + Plugins
NullCPUpowermanagement
hnaks AppleintelE1000e ethernet
Bootloaders
MacPro 5.1
OSx86 software

Before you reboot copy the extras folder from your unibeast drive "Show package contents" to your Lion drive. To do this you must have show all files on. Open the org.chameleon.boot.plist in the extra folder on your lion drive and remove PCIRootUID=1 from it.

You can now install the 7.3 update or reboot onto your lion drive and then update.

It should be working.

Drivers for Quadro cards can be downloaded at Nvidia.

For me everything works this way. But there is just one thing and thats bluetooth.
It only works if you have it working in windows first. and it might not always show.
Its the same onboard one as on this thread.

So Sleep is working for you?

Re: If intel new X79 support lion?

Hi all,

I've just installed 10.7.3 on a GA-X79-UD5 with a i7-3960X, 64 GB of RAM and a GV-R687OC-1GD - works oob

After installation via UniBeast + USB key I have installed the following MultiBeast options (= kurtface's list except for the VoodoHDA, thanks for that):

EasyBeast install
System Utilities
ALC8xxHDA
ALC892
VoodooHDA 0.2.7.3
IOAHCIBlockstorageinjector
FakeSMC + Plugins
NullCPUpowermanagement
hnaks AppleintelE1000e ethernet
Bootloaders
MacPro 5.1
OSx86 software

Now I'm going to check what's working or not... Audio: OK, USB2.0 OK, Graphics: OK... Sleep: not working (surprise!)...

Cheers,
Thomas

Re: If intel new X79 support lion?

Got everything working on a Rampage IV Extreme now apart from the Intel Raid (i'm using that for RAID0 with Windows7 SATA3 with a RAID1 SATA2 mirror data partition)

Used Unibeast to install then ran Chimera bootloader, and added the following kexts into extra/extensions:-

AHCI_3rdParty_eSATA.kext
AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext
ALC8xxHDA.kext
AppleIntelE1000e.kext
FakeSMC.kext
HDAEnabler892.kext
NullCPIPowerManagement.kext
PXHCD.kext
VoodooHDA.kext (0.2.1)

Can now dual boot win7 and osx both on SATA3 ports with Chimera

Anyone know about using Intel RAID? the ports work if its set to AHCI, but not when set to RAID.

Ok I've attached the kext files that work with the best performance for me on Lion 10.7.3. Install and reboot. Also the ATY_init that I use. If that doesn't work then fo here http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=cat&id=5 and try others out.

Hope you get it working and let me know if you do.

How does your "org.chameleon.boot.plist look like? Can you send a screen shot?

Try changing your system to a mac pro 4.1 or 5.1. and, or try removing the yes under graphics enabler. It should be working.
