ASUS P6T Hackintosh & OS X Mountain Lion

I just finished installing OS X Mountain Lion (latest preview) on my new Intel 520 SSD. The 520 is one of the fastest consumer SSD’s on the market today. Even though my 3 year old ASUS P6T mainboard doesn’t support SATA-3, the 520 still performs ridiculously fast. It takes a mere 6 seconds from the Apple logo to the desktop. The spinning Apple circle doesn’t even show up.

Installation went pretty smoothly using Tonymacx86′s UniBeast and MultiBeast.

Will somebody please teach the guys in Redmond about how to speed up an operating system boot?

    Hello,

    what p6t DSDT did you use?? or you used the easy install on multibeast ?

    to janjac

    did you try writting ,,PCIRootUID=0,, in chimera when starting to boot ?

  • janjac says:

    Hi cmuchal

    And thanks ;)

    Actually i did my install again and this time it went good.
    So certainly there was some “human error” in the options choice.

    Anyway thanks for your reply :-)

    im tryin to install hackintosh in my computer, btw im using:
    p6t se
    intel core i7 920
    seagate barracuda 1tb
    kingston 12gb ram 1333mhz

    i bought mountain lion from appstore and made the usb booter with the tony’s guide with unibest.
    i set up the AHCI with my sata and all looks fine.
    i press F8 and the usb boots to the unibeast manu, i choose the USB and runs white screen with the apple logo, then appears the spining clock/apple and my screen conection goes lost. (i dunno how to xplain).
    i tried with hdmi / vga but anyway it doesnt looks working.

    any suggestion or help?

    Thanks sooooo much!

    Hi gsus
    You may try to boot with the -v option to see whats happening in the verbose format

    also you may add the option GraphicsEnabler=No
    In case your video card is not natively ok

    Hi pocharlies, I’m having the same problem with both OS. I only have a Vertex 2 SSD but it doesn’t work as fast as it should. :S

  • Igor says:

    Hi,

    do you have a regular P6T? Not SE or Deluxe? If you have an older version, what installation options did you choose exactly? Because I am having a problem with OSX recovering from sleep, an over a minute delay on boot and also I can’t set the onboard soundcard (but I am using a Juli@ instead).

    Thanks!

  • janjac says:

    hi
    I have a pure p6t ;)
    (bios at last revision)

    for audio I did this :

    The dsdt from here & fleebailey are good

    The sleep problem can have multiple sources (mine was a problem with video card)
    On this post :
    http://myhack.sojugarden.com/f.....2358#p2358
    There is a dsdt with no hdef section and the section with gtx560ti video so you may paste there whats needed for your gpu
