UserDSDT already installed for us the tonymacx86 Theme.

Normally, Verbose is recommended for initial installations, but we can always force a verbose boot from the Chameleon prompt upon booting.Īnother one already installed by UserDSDT, but, according to our CPU, we select Core i7 (under Advanced Options| ist| iMac) Having 8GB RAM, we want the 64-bit Apple Boot Screen (under Advanced Options| ). While UserDSDT already installed one for us, it's 32-bit. Updated 2: Don't select any option for this, instead check my own Realtek RTL81xx Driver, which is a better alternative to the RealtekR1000SL. Other users might need it.Īs our motherboard uses an Ethernet controller of the Realtek 8xxx family, we'll select the RealtekR1000SL option (under Advanced Options| Kexts| Network| Realtek Gigabit Ethernet). We won't be using it (as we want the minimum number of kexts possible, remember ?)Ĭhameleon already supports our nVidia card, so we don't need the NVEnabler. You'll also find there IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector, which makes all SATA drives appear as internal. If you want to be able to hot-swap eSATA drives, pick the JMicron36xeSATA one. These enable the "white SATA" ports in the Gigabyte motherboard. There, we'll also find another two drivers, JMicron36xSATA and JMicron36xeSATA.

If we plan on using IDE drives, we'll need the JMicron36xATA driver (found under Advanced Options| Kexts| Disk| JMicron36x (aka GSATA)).

Those are Audio Drivers developed by the Open-Source community, to support other audio codecs. You might be intrigued by the VoodooHDA kexts. Unfortunately (for owners of other boards), as of OS X 10.6.3, AppleHDA no longer supports other codecs (ALC887/888/888b/889), but MultiBeast is smart enough to apply the AppleHDA 10.6.2 Rollback in addition to a LegacyHDA kext. Our motherboard uses the ALC889a audio codec, so we just select it (under Advanced Options| Kexts| Audio| LegacyHDA). The reason for the confusion is that configuration is different if using a DSDT or not.Īs we are using a DSDT, we don't need an HDAEnabler (that would be for systems without DSDT). Sound configuration can be tricky, and many users are confused while configuring it.

As UserDSDT does not include any Network, Sound, or Graphics support (besides the one found in Chameleon), we'll have to select some Advanced Options.

It also states that we have to install with System Utilities tasks, so we check that option too.

iMac11,1 ist: A configuration file, which identifies our build as an i5 iMac.

32-Bit : A configuration file, which directs it to load the 32-bit OS X kernel.

fakesmc: A kext that emulates a hardware component found in real Macs, so that OS X can run on our build.

Chameleon 2.0 RC4 by AsereBLN: the bootloader that will allow us to boot off the hard disk, without the iBoot CD.

The comment states it installs the following:

As we want our DSDT.aml installed, we start by selecting UserDSDT.

It's the UserDSDT option.įor this, we'll copy from the USB stick the DSDT we downloaded (or edited) in Part One, place it on the Desktop, and make sure it's called DSDT.amlĪfter agreeing to the license, and selecting our System partition for install, we are ready to make our selection. So MultiBeast provides the option of using a custom DSDT. Personally, I prefer DSDT-based installations, as this leaves us with an as-vanilla-as-possible build ( Vanilla is what we call a system without modifications such as extraneous Kernel Extensions). We just have to know which options to select. Tonymacx86 created MultiBeast, the wonderful post-intallation utility, so we can all easily customize an OS X installation, adding needed kexts and configuration files, without much difficulty.

The upgrade procedure is quite straightforward.Double click on MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4.pkg to run it.Plug the USB Stick, and in Finder, navigate to it.Boot your system with the iBoot CD (if it's not up and running).

Remember we downloaded the update and saved it to a USB stick ? If we got the 10.6.3 OS X Snow Leopard DVD, we don't have to upgrade to 10.6.4, but we can. If we got the "old" 10.6 OS X Snow Leopard DVD, it doesn't support our Intel Core i7 CPU (support for this CPU was added with the introduction of the Core i5 and Core i7 based iMacs, in 10.6.2). and while we are at it, we'll pick the optimal MultiBeast options for the GA-P55M-UD4. In Part One of this article, we gathered all required components for a smooth installation, and in Part Two we did the actual OS X install.īut we need to keep booting off a CD with iBoot.
