Comments

First of all I want to thanks this forum, for all the help, tony's for the hackintosh tools, MacMan for his work and especially Lnx2Mac for his support and guidance doing this "stuff", not an easy work for a "chef".

My build is working 99%, the only thing not working is the frontal audio plug in when the back one is plugged. I will find a way to make it work sooner or later.

I have still a glitch, my Ram is 1600 but the system is using them as 1333, I will have to do some OC too.

My next thing will be trying to make it dual bootable with Windows 7.

Also I will write a guide step by step for Hacking OSX into this build later this week.

Thanks to everyone.

Here is the guide. ( I actually had to do it twice since the first time I did it the wrong way, so here is the way that should have been if I did it right the first time)

-Downloaded iBoot from this site
-Downloaded last BIOS from Gigabyte site, in this case F14
-Downloaded the 10.6.5 combo update from Apple site
-Saved 10.6.5 to a USB Stick
-Burned iBoot to a CD
-Actualized the BIOS version
-Followed Lnx2Mac BIOS optimization from his blog http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/2010/07/opt ... ation.html
-Booted with iBoot
-Inserted my Mac OSX SL while pressing F5
-When Chamaleon showed Mac OSX install icon and iBoot icon, I've choose to install
-Selected Disk Utility from the Menu, and formatted my Disk Mac OS extended (journaled) format
-Installation followed with a successful installation.
-Re Booted with iBoot
-Registered my OS with Apple
-my graphics were limited, USB worked just for mouse and keyboard, no sound, but I had Ethernet
-Had to download Combo Update 10.6.5 ( since my USB wasn't working) from Apple again, mounted the update, and updated
-Downloaded MB 3.0.3 from this site
-Downloaded DSDT.aml from my MoBo and placed it in the desktop
-I ran MB choosing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*userDSDT
*System Utilities :
*rebuild Caches
*repair permissions
*Drivers & Bootloaders:
*Kexts & extensions:

*Disk:

*JMicron 36x eATA
*Miscellaneous: *fakesmc

-Downloaded and installed Lnx2Mac RTL81xx OS X driver from his blog: http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/p/realtekrt ... river.html
-Ran the RTL81XX OS X installer
-Re Booted without iBoot

Had a 99% perfectly working Hackintosh.

It runs great. I have 2 Macs ( Mac G5 and iBook G4 plus a recently deceased iMac G5) and this one is really cool. ( I know is actually my first Intel "Mac", but loved PowerPC LOl).

Now, It's Dual bootable with Windows 7.

Just some stuff to check out. Since I am a Mac user since last 10 years, I am lost at windows.

I think It is not recognizing the full capacity of the GPU. It might have to do with the Bios config ( it is perfect for Mac)

Does someone knows what to do? Thanks!

after lot of work, second build successfully done.

I have the same mobo, but sleep don't work you can?
