Comments
OK so this is my build, have just finally got everything working (including the App Store)
DSDT: DSDT-GA-P55-USB3-2.0-F9.aml
*Note System restarts / shuts down, but takes up to 30 seconds for the desktop background to turn blue
*Note I currently need to restart twice (shortly after AHCI Loads, due to my keyboard not loading the first time around, this may just be my system
Install OS X as usual, and for MultiBeast I used 3.7.3 (I have not tried 3.8)
Use these options:
DSDT (find in the database) place as DSDT.aml in /Extras
check system utilities
in drives and bootloaders select:
>Audio > ALC8xxHDA & under Non-DSDT HDAEnabler select > ALC892
>Graphics > whichever is best for your system, i'm using a GT240 so I used NVEnabler
>Network > Realtek Gigabit Ethernet
install all of them, restart, bearing in mind restart can take some time with this Motherboard, so don't hit the reset button
to get the app store working in 10.6.8 (works naturally in 10.6.7) follow the guide in "iOS > App Store" elsewhere on this forum
