Alfredo G: The last time I heard of this specific issue it was due to bent/damaged pins on the cpu socket (believe it or not). Also you may not have properly seated one of your memory modules. You should test your hardware in another operating system with some hardware diagnostics software to make sure your hardware works. Due to PAE in the OSX kernel you would see 6GB using a 32bit or 64bit kernel it makes no difference.

Thanks Mr. Conti,
I am running x86_64 kernel now. I still have the issue of RAM memory size: I cannot see all the 6GB, only 4GB… same situation highlighted in my InsanelyMac post… do you have some further suggestion?
Moreover is there also evidence of correct load operation of DSDT.aml at boot time?
Thanks, Regards,
Alfredo

@Conti:
thanks for the prompt answer, I’ve already read the post on insanelymac you have highlighted before, I’ll give it a try as soon as I can and I’ll let you know. Thanks again!

Alfredo: Do not use an auto patcher like “DSDT Patcher”. Download dsdtse from EvOsx86 team site, boot with only legacyapplertc.kext, fakesmc.kext, and anything else absolutely required. Extract your dsdt, and apply the fixes manually. Then compile the aml and place in /Extra/dsdt.aml – the nice thing about dsdtse is it has some references of useful dsdt fixes and will display useful compile time information if there are any errors or warnings which is useful for debugging. As I said in a reply to another user

See this thread over on insanelymac for help with a dsdt (this thread isn’t perfect but it’s the most decent I’ve found) http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=196771

I am planning on writing my own guide describing what I did with my own systems when I have time. I think it would make for a good example. Until then though that thread is one of the better guides on the subject that I know of – although my audio patch is different and I didn’t do *everything* listed in that thread – it is at least a decent start…

Hugh: I have the same audio in my X58 system. I use a dsdt fix and a LegacyHDA kext. See this thread over on insanelymac for help with a dsdt (this thread isn’t perfect but it’s the most decent I’ve found) http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=196771

Until then though that thread is one of the better guides on the subject that I know of – although my audio patch is different and I didn’t do *everything* listed in that thread – just get going with your dsdt and I’ll post some information on my own audio patch asap.

Hi I came across your myhack bootloader installer and I am pretty impressed. I have had partially working snow leopard minus sound for a while and used to use chameleon V2.0 rc3 as a boot cd as i was worried about stuffing the retail dvd install.

I still cant seem to get kext files to install for my on board sound card which is the ALC889. Tried Kext installers kext helpers etc… nothing seems to work

I have a msi x58 pro i7 and apart from sound I have successfully installed snow leopard on 2 home hackintosh’s. Could you please point me in the right direction as im still a mac newbie slowly getting the gist but am sick n tired of formatting and reloading which ive done now more times than i can count to get video working.

Any help or a point in the right direction would b really appreciated.

NS: If you want to use a different kext, simply (re)place it in /Extra/Extensions and run pfix. Then Reboot.
