kokozedman, Flip360, Thanks for your efforts. I wish I could help out more with testing, but I'm limited when it comes to Hackintosh's now. I used to do this quite often, but it's been quite awhile, and I've forgotten more than naught!!

Thanks!

Ryan

I think my Hard Disk is sleeping, and that have never been a cause of kernel panic as far as I know. Actually, it has never paniced, unless I loaded VoodooHDA, unloaded it, and then reloaded it.

Also I'm curious too, I was assuming Windows 7 didnt support installing to a GPT partition even in 64 bits variants, what method did you use?

Do you know how the mapping on VoodooHDA works? I'd like to know more about that. Slice, the forker of the moded kext is not giving any hint on how it works with simple excuses that it is not yet completed.

kokozedman, try and install this: http://netkas.org/?p=262
i think you will not have KP with the acpi_smc_platformplugin

Well, I haven't been before, but since I have been messing-up with that AppleHDA, then my system is no longer stable. Actually, I'm nearly giving up on this, because of too many things not working.

1. Sound, which is very important is not working. USB works, but it's not convenient at all.
2. Wifi doesn't work either. I've heard that there is a way to enforce it to work. The method is called "pin 21 patch" which makes the Wifi always on. In windows, it has a way of enabling/disabling the PCI port where the Wifi device is on; but there is no way for Mac to know that. If there is a BIOS setting to always switch the Wifi on all the time, then it would be cool. But unfortunately, the AMI BIOS is such a joker BIOS, you can't do that.
3. Dual monitor isn't working. I have a bigger (21") screen, that I want my hack to work on. This notebook has a VGA out, I tried, but it didn't get any output to that screen.

I'm a Web developer, so, I guess I'm going to use VMWare and install the Linux that I like there. And I'll be using Windows 7 while waiting for these issues to be resolved.

Good luck guys!!! I'll watch this thread, and please keep me posted

As for the HPET, I think I have already been using a DSDT patch about that. So, I should not require that kext. It's just that the AppleHDA and the ALC662 kext has messed-up my Hack, and I can't get back to a previous state anylonger.

I am sorry to hear that you are going to give up. Wifi needs a replacement for sure, personally i have replaced the wifi card (the easiest thing to do on this laptop) and have a fully working Airport. The usb works fine for me sofar and as for the graphic card, i did try and connect it to a 22`` screen i have at home and it works, mind you that i use Chameleon Graphic Enabler and not NVEnabler (maybe they are the same), and for the sound....i dunno, imkantus is working on this, i hope it gets resolved, thanks Imkantus for your effort. So what i am saying is that although its hard to get the right set of everything for your laptop, it was not meant to be Macintosh in the first place, right?

Cheers

I have this version of VoodooHDA.kext-Snow32/64-v0243 with cVad correction and it seems to be working best of all the versions of voodoohda i have tried, BUT the sound is behaving very strangely, i have noticed that when i play audio and video (avi, mpg, mov) i have crystal clear audio, when i watch youtube videos they are also listenable with minor scratches and weird noises, the UI sounds are on or off sometimes which doesnt bother me but when i try to play audio in iTunes...well thats another story. All of a sudden its as if my computer is going to die any moment soon

The bass sounds and high sounds are most distorted which i cannot say for the middle sounds for instance. Has anyone encountered something simmilar to this?

cheers

Hmm, sounds promising, Can you post a link to that kext. I'll give it a shout and let you know!
