[GUIDE] ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA - Snow Leopard Retail
ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (R.2.0) Snow Leopard "all-round-comfortable-package" This is an english repost of my recently write down - you can find german language version here. I know this mainboard is a very cheap & not very far spreaded one, but it's working very great with OSx86 and has my absolute recommendation, for everyone who's looking for a good AM2-Snowboard. This guide requieres an Snow Leopard 10.6.0 Retail DVD - go and buy one from your local Apple (re)seller. My current configuration: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA 2GB DDR2-800 ATI Radeon HD 4650 BCM4318 PCI NIC Mac OS X 10.6.3 lspci: Quote:
Before you start:
Package content:
System Installation: Grab this version of EmpireEFI http://www.mediafire.com/?m5wzzwyfg4m Use it to boot the Retail DVD & to install your system. Keep on using it to boot OS X for the first time & apply the 10.6.3 Combo Update. Making the System working standalone: Extract pack.dmg, mount it and copy all it's content directly to your Desktop. Installation of the Bootloader: Open the Disk-Utility let it display detailed informations about your Snow Leopard Partition and memorize the diskXsY value. Open a Terminal Window and use the following syntax: Code:
sudo -s # Enter your Password cd Desktop/Tools/Bootloader fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskX dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY cp boot / Go to the Extra folder and addjust the following values in the smbios.plist file to match your configuration: Code:
<key>SMexternalclock</key> <string>200</string> <key>SMmaximalclock</key> <string>2200</string> <key>SMmemspeed</key> <string>533</string> Adding SLE Kernel Extensions: Go to /System/Library/Extensions and delete AppleHDA.kext Grab the 4 SLE kexts from my package and drop them into /System/Library/Extensions folder by Finder (AppleACPIPS2Nub & ApplePS2Controller only if you need PS2 support - if you are using USB input devices, you won't need those) Ignore upcoming error messages and open the Terminal again. Use the following Syntax to fix the file permissions & to delete the Kernel Extension Cache: Code:
sudo -s # Enter your Password cd /System/Library/Extenions chown -R root:wheel AppleHDA.kext chmod -R 755 AppleHDA.kext chown -R root:wheel AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext [...] rm -rf /System/Library/Chaches/com.apple.kext.chaches Open Marvin's AMD Utility and create a "Patcher Package" for the /System/Library folder. The Patcher Package will apear on your Desktop - copy patches folder to your Snow Leopard partition and reboot into Single User mode using -s bootflag. Use "mount -uw /" to get write access on your partition, move to patches folder using "cd /patches", run the replace script to replace encrypted binaries with the decrypted ones using "./replace.sh" and patch CPUIDs using "./patcher -v ./cpuid.txt" Allmost done. If Sleep doesn't work yet, be sure to have the boxes present at Energy Saver Prefpane beeing enabled, if that doesn't help, open the Terminal again and enter: Quote:

* This will cause your computer to turn on automatically after power-loss, even if your PC wasn't powered at that time! If you don't like it to be that way go ahead and install "LegacyAppleLPC.kext" by cVad to /S/L/E like descryped above. You will now get a fourth option at Energy Saver Prepane called "Restart automatically after power failure" enable that one, too. Now you can disable the BIOS option without losing Sleep capability.
