I am delighted to report that everything on my hackintosh is working great, including the 10.6.4 update, BUT I've never been able to get sleep to work or to get audio in or out of the onboard sound card. I believe I have the rev. 1 of the board, am running with a 2.8Ghz i7-930, EVGA 9800GTX, 6GB Corsair 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, Antec Earthwatts 650 PS.
The audio has never worked. I have HDAEnabler.kext and the legacy 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext in System/Lib/Ext, and I have Legacy889HDA.kext in Extras/Ext. The onboard audio does not show up at all anywhere, not even 'grayed' in sound preferences. I do, however, have a Griffin iMic, which works just fine, so I'm not without sound-- I only wish I could get the onboard audio to work! Any suggestions?
If I put the computer to sleep, it just shuts down. I tried adding the latest SleepEnabler.kext, and that caused a kernel panic, so I removed it. Any ideas how to make this thing sleep?
I'm not sure if the onboard LAN works (haven't tried it), but I've had very good results with an Airlink USB wifi dongle-- if anyone's looking for working wifi, this one only costs $15 or so.
Any help in getting sound and sleep to work with this system would be much appreciated! Oh, and by the way, Kakewalk is a great way to load Mac OS with this motherboard-- thanks to all who make it work!
Hey, I have the same motherboard you have, corsair 6gb ram, WD 2TB hardrive, and Nvidia GTS 250 1GB video card, plus internal wifi card.
Can you tell me how you got MAC OSX on your hardrive? Does it boot by itself, because no mater what i do it wont boot by itself.... and if u did successfully get it on there is everything working????
I got both to work on my X58A UD3R Rev 1.0 I dont use a DSDT file I used 10.6.4 Snow Leopard I used SleepEnabler.kext for 10.6.4 I used this for Audio: http://z3y6ww.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pftW629dYTYyka3JSr3gtnAs2wi4QXViNlu_oWMKAmdcajsCQavTrDA0J8ceznb6wC7NcnmXm1wkzQQNKBctJZet0Lp6exVSH/ALC889%2010.6.4.zip?download&psid=1
I got audio back by downloading this kext and following the terminal instructions… http://www.kexts.com/view/334-binary_patched_applehda.kext_for_alc889.html
Make sure you follow the instructions to set permissions for the file!
Try this to get sleep working again … http://www.meklort.com/?p=167
I can only attest that these work with 10.6.3, but it's worth trying on 10.6.4 as well.

OS X does not technically boot "by itself". Once you have downloaded the kakewalk iso from another working computer, burn it to a CD and boot with it. Once it has loaded, eject the kakewalk boot disk, and put in your OS X retail install disk. Hit F5 and wait a few seconds. You should see the OS X icon appear. Use your arrow keys to highlight OS X and hit enter. OS X should now start booting and start the installation process. Make sure you're installing to a fresh hard drive with nothing else on it. If you want to dual boot with Windows, I would not recommend having them both on the same drive!
After the install has completed, you still may need to fix sound (http://www.kexts.com/view/334-binary_patched_applehda.kext_for_alc889.html), sleep (http://www.meklort.com/?p=167) and add the NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to /Extra/Extensions to get your CPU temps to a reasonable level.
If your motherboard starts to make a squealing sound (aka. "Coil Whine"), disable the power saving features of your motherboard in the bios and it should stop. I don't have a URL handy, but if you google for the issue, you should be able to find the bios settings.
