Just wanted to share my experience with this little board:
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDe ... -us0000515
Status
[WORKING]
+ Graphics: Intel HD3000 (ocasional artefacts)
+ Networking: Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit Ethernet
+ Audio: Realtek ALC888s
+ SATA3
+ Dual-monitor support (DVI & HDMI)
[TRYING ]
+ HDMI audio
[NOT WORKING]
AppleIntelPowerManagement KP's have to use NullCPUPowerManagement
Two options to get Power Management running:
1 Using flAked modified AppleIntelPowerManagement included inside newest Multi Beast.
2 My favorite but may be risky: Using Samisnake modified BIOS for this board and stock AppleIntelPowerManagement. Use included BIOS file and this guide http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1661637
My Hardware
+ Foxconn H67s - BIOS version A41F1020
+ Intel Core i5 2500K CPU
+ 8GB RAM
Build notes
MacMini system definition is installed during the MultiBeast install phase to get HD3000 HDMI video output.
DSDT extracted and modified the best I could using these tools http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=634. Does not work without NullCPUPowermanagement next installed.
Preparation
+ Connect display via DVI, you can use HDMI when installation is complete.
+ BIOS Settings - As default except:
- Enable maximum Frame buffer for the Intel HD3000 integrated graphics
- AHCI for SATA mode
- 64-bit mode HPET can not be set in BIOS but it is 64-bit
- Hard disk as primary boot device (non compulsory)
+ For UniBeast install install create a UniBeast USB installer http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/10/ ... using.html
+ Download the latest MultiBeast 4.2.1 and place on the above USB key together with the supplied DSDT.
Installation
1.) Insert UniBeast USB key
2.) Boot to UniBeast (use F7 to specify USB boot device)
3.) Install OSX Lion 10.7.2
Multibeast Configuration
After the installation of Lion completes and while at the desktop for the first boot:
1.) Copy supplied DSDT from the USB key onto the Desktop
2.) Install Multibeast 4.2.1 with following options:
