Try #1 resulted in a kernel panic on boot after the 10.6.8 update. I ran the update helper when specified both times. I'm going to give this another shot! I'll keep you guys posted if try #2 works!
Thanks for the sweet guide!
EDIT: Try number 2 failed in the same way.
Here's the kernel error I am getting.
Kernel panic: Unable to find driver for this platform: acpi
\"acpi\"n"@/sourcecache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.2/iokit\kernel /ioplatformexpert.cpp:1387
Bsd process name corresponding to current thread: unknown
Mac OS version:
Not yet set.
Here are the steps I am going to take to try something different on tries 3 and 4:
3: I am going to try rebooting before I run the update helper post install.
4: I am currently on BIOS revision f9. I'm going to try to flash to f11
This is my setup:
Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard
GIGABYTE GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE ATI Radeon HD6850 1GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card GV-R685OC-1GD
Intel Core i5-2500K Processor 3.3GHz 6 MB Cache Socket LGA1155
Sony Optiarc
Corsair Vengeance Blu 8 GB PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 x2 (I'm using one stick, as per the iboot tutorial
Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM HD
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandy Bridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom
I followed the guide here on the first page to the T, but There are little differences, like multibeast being 3.9.0 instead of 3.8.0 and the bios being f9 instead of f5.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know! Thanks so much for your help.
Edit:
I got it up and running!
Turns out, I was using a 10.6.0 install disc... When I used a 10.6.3 one, the guide worked perfectly! Now to work on getting sleep mode working!
Thanks so much for the guide!
