In order to begin to attempt a DSDT.aml fix for my Hackintosh project, I must first extract a working DSDT from my system BIOS. Most sources I've found on-line reference me to Linux commands. With this in mind, I wiped my 500GB hard drive and installed Ubuntu 11.04. Then I proceeded to install all necessary drivers to get the system up functioning properly. Then I ran the following commands:
sudo apt-get install acpidump (install acpidump app)
sudo apt-get install iasl (install compiler)
sudo acpidump >/tmp/acpidump (extract DSDT from working BIOS)
sudo acpixtract dsdt /tmp/acpidump >/tmp/dsdt (extract DSDT from file to DSDT.dsl)
My problem is that at this point, the DSDT.dsl file opens to a text editor that only says:
"Could not open dsdt"
Before I can even begin to work on this for my Mac install, I need to have the files to edit in the first place. Can anyone assist?
Thanks.
SYSTEM SPECS:
Intel Core i7 Quad 2.8GHz 1154
G-Skill Raptor 1333MHz DDR3 16GB (4x4GB)
MSI Big Bang Trinergy
nVidia GeForce GTX 480 (only one card by eVGA)
MSI Audio Riser Card (PCI-Express x1, 7.1 channel, Realtek chip)
1TB WD Caviar Blue (SATA 3.0, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
500GB Seagate (SATA 3.0, Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 / Ubuntu 11.04)
Blu-Ray burner optical drive (SATA 3.0)
64-in-1 flash media bay (USB)
Note: I HAVE gotten MAC to work with EasyBeast and iBoot, but the audio is not stable. I'd like to see if I can get a DSDT file to enable full-audio support and to make the system more stable overall. Also, VoodooHDA flippin BRICKS the Mac install, so I have to avoid it like the plague with EasyBeast.
