Hi All!
I successfully installed clean 10.6.0 OS X on my P8P67-B3 + 2600K + MSI Lightning R5870 build, but I can't either upgrade to 10.6.7 or use ATI drivers from Multibeast.
I tried to follow this guide: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=16873 (basically it suggests running BridgeHelper and Multibeast right after updating to 10.6.7, but prior to system restart), and it fails after restart. If I set GraphicsEnabler=Yes, then upon starting from my Snow Leopard partition I get black screen with continuous beep and (GPU?) fans at maximum RPMs. When during beeping I've tried to adjust CPU fan to lower RPMs with a knob at the back of my case to check whether it's CPU or GPU fans has started, I've heard the second beeper simultaneously, which beeped one long and at least 3 short beeps (I powered off the system immediately before I could count how much beeps there were). This behavior is reproduced with GraphicsEnabler=Yes in any case, no matter which version of ATI drivers I install (I tried Chameleon with Experimental ATI support, ATI drivers package from Multibeast or just vanilla 10.6.7 kernel).
It boots ok with GraphicsEnabler=No on 10.6.0 kernel (though the mouse is laggy and no sound); on 10.6.7 it doesn't boot even with GraphicsEnabler=No, hanging somewhere around the text
waiting for DSMOS
AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement timed out
DSMOS has arrived
I tried resetting CMOS and downgrading BIOS (btw my 1502 bios revision for P8P67-B3 is not found anywhere on ASUS site, it has only older versions), but no luck.
Is there really an extra beeper somewhere on GPU besides system speaker? What does this sound mean? Does it mean its dangerous to do more tries to start the system that way? Is it possible that it's an incompatibility of all MSI Lightning R5870 model, or it's just my card/setup?
What else can you suggest to enable native support with this card?
Thank you!
PS The system was on default bios settings, no overclocking, SATA set to AHCI. The graphics card seems to be working ok under Windows 7.
