My hack stopped booting. Gives an error right before the chameleon boot screen,

EBIOS read error: Device timeout
Block 0x1914e578 Sectors 0

Does this on iboot disk, USB boot disk, and hard drive (SSD)


Any clue why it would work for months then do this?

So it seems it doesnt like 1 of my drives plugged in anymore. Sucks because I have my user folder on that drive so it wont go past the login screen without it. Dunno if the drive is dead or not windows boots though.

Sounds to me like you have a failing drive.

Nothing we can do right now. Use SleepEnabler kext if you need sleep right now.

My sleep function in LION is working as good as on Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8.
Maybe I can show you my org.chameleon.boot.plist. I'm no more using ssdt.aml in Extra. Sleep is working without it. Before I used Geforce 8600GT as my primary VGA. Now I have swapped to Radeon HD 6870 and reinstalled Lion. Resuming from sleep is immediate. :)
Anybody who want to experiment here is it:

I am having issues with multibeast after running the update helper, rebooting, opening ComboUpdate with MB, running ComboUpdate, then when I go to run MB the install FAILS! Nothing is plugged in except the keyboard and mouse. I am using the DSDT 892.aml, my cpu is the 2500k and motherboard a P67A-UD3-B3 running version F4.

Any help?!?!?!?

___________________________________________________________________________
Update: reset my motherboard settings to factory default, then rest settings as Gordo described again. Re-ran multibeast with success and able to download lion. Hopefully things go smoothly from here.

Thanks Gordo for the guide and mentoring us all. Appreciate it

A note to anyone using this: Be sure to tailor it to your video card or else it will make your PC not boot.

I just reinstalled and forgot how i got sleep working, gonna try yours. I know i was using a SSDT. I think i posted how I got it working in this thread but seems cham has more options.

Any explanation about all the new options?

I gota 6870 so i am gonna try same as yours minus a few things

Didnt work for me, damn it i thought i had everything documented but i cannot find the ssdt i had.
 
is the DSDT database rev 1.0 or rev 1.1? Im pretty sure its 1.1 since my sound and other stuff doesnt work.

Please fix and update 1.0 tony!

It is fixed, you have to pick the DSDT that is the revision of your board. Rev 1 uses AC892, Rev 1.1 uses AC889. That's not Tony's fault, that's gigabyte's.

But the database doesn't list a rev 1 or rev 1.1.
