Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install
Hi,
great guide, got my new system almost working
I do however get a KP during first boot after installation of multibeast and combo update to 10.7.2.
It panics on AppleCPuPowerManagement, and says something about HPET.
I have the gigabyte ga-z68xp-ud3 rev1.0 F8, which is in the customac pro build.
Ive followed your guide, with the corresponding DSDT from the database her, and ticked of what you suggest in multibeast, then this KP every time i boot...
I have done this:
but still KP on AppleCPuPowerManagement.
Suggestions are very welcome
UPDATE:
I now have a fully functioning system using the same procedure as in this guide,
but i did not choose Motherboard Plugins under FakeSMC Plugins, and 64 BIT Apple boot screen.
Thanks for a great guide

May have just been luck as "UserDSDT Install" installs those two things anyway.

Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install
Gordo, thanks mucho for your excellent tutorial. I'm up and running for a week without any noticeable problems. A few questions, if you don't mind:
1) I have Lion on a Crucial M4 64 GB SSD. Should I install trim support from multi-beast? If I do, will it result in maintaining good performance over the long term?
2) I am using the integrated HD3000 graphics. In order to get full resolution (1080P), I used the Mac Mini profile. Is there any downside to selecting this? Was this the correct way of going about this?
3) Since there is a new dsdt for this board running bios F10, should I upgrade from the dstd created for F9?
4) On your recommendation, I purchased the Fractal Design R3 which by the way is an outstanding case. Have you added any extra fans (besides the included 2)? And if so, what kind and where in the case would/did you place them?
Once again, thanks for all your help. I have followed your threads since May 2011, and your explanations are always clear and complete. You and Stork rock!!

Gordo,
Just wanted to add my voice to the list of those saying thanks. I used this guide to set up my hack this week and so far everything is working nearly flawlessly, even sleep (I always wake using the computer power button, so no issues having to unplug/plug wired AL KB) and the Gigabyte back panel Firewire port.
I did deviate from your post in a few ways though:
- I did NOT check IOACHIBlockStorageInjector or 64-bit bootscreen since those are redundant with the other options checked as I understand it (3rd part ACHCI and User DSDT, respectively)
- I used the Realtek driver since Lnx2Mac's driver causes sleep issues for me
I am very pleased with my computer - it's running silently and reliably and it's WAY faster than my outgoing 2010 Santa Rosa Macbook Pro.
so THANK YOU and thanks to TonyMac for this awesome resource! Heading off to hit the Contribute button now...

I tried to install or a friend a motherboard of lion Z68x-UD3H-B3 F10 with unibeast, although I get to boot on the usb but it stops at the blank screen of the apple (it runs five times and image freezes).
So everything in the bios is enabled AHCI, HPET x64 by following the tutorial, I tried a lot of manipulation by removing the graphics card, while the PCI through the minimum, but still the same problem
Is there a solution, thanks you for helping me

Thanks!!!! It works! my BIOS version is F8.
budiosx said:Sleep - General Troubleshooting Tips :
===========================
1. You must have the proper DSDT edits as per this post. All of the Gigabyte DSDTs in the DSDT Database are edited properly for sleep.
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/12/ ... n-p55.html
2. To enable sleep, make sure to remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
3. Make sure you check all of the checkboxes in System Preferences/Energy Saver as shown in the picture below.
4. Make sure your DSDT is named DSDT.aml and found in /Extra folder.
Thanks!!!! It works! my BIOS version is F8.

Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install
Gordo74,
I tried to follow your post to install Lion on my GA-z68X-UD3H-B3 with an nVidia GTS 250. When boot with rboot and select my USB drive that I created with Unibeast, it starts to boot OS X only to flicker and give me a black screen shortly into the process.
I have been able to install Snow Leopard, but once I try to update with 10.6.8 combo, I get a blank screen. I don't know if these issues are related or not.
Do you have any suggestions?
