Mavericks on ASUS P6X58D-E + i7-950 + GTX 285

[ryan.kruger]

I've had this DSDT since 10.6.8. No clue where I go tit from. I THINK someone on here years ago.

I've posted on the topic in great detail for 10.7/10.8 and included files.

ASUS P6X58D-E Success!

It's in the related threads link at the bottom of this page, in fact.

I will be attempting the update in a few days when I get back home - I'll update that thread if need be. For now - try and take a look at it, I may have outlined something that you missed, because that's my BIGGEST issue when working on that "boot to black screen".

Yeah that thread is terribly out of date. However all of those steps I've already done.

Ok so I seem to have fixed my issue and everything is running ok now. Turned out I NOW have to use GraphicsEnabler=Yes with 10.9. Not sure why as I've been using no since SL. But all is well and good now.

Ok so THANK GOD a friend of mine was able to read my USB drive to pull off my settings.mp and DSDT.aml file. I tend to place important files on the install USB as a just-in-case. This just became a just-in-case.

Hope this guides someone into helping me at least get back into my system.

What bios version do you have?

 

[weberio]

I have too this moderboard. It bios is v0803.

This worked for me:

Boot flag
-v –PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000

I have XFX (black edition) NVIDIA GTX 285 with 2 outputs. Place the DVI cable in the left port.

Upgrading from 10.6.8 now to Maveriicks 10.9.x.

Cheers,
Andy
