hello all

I was able to get sleep to work on 10..6.3 it wakes but non of the usb device work apple keyboard and mighty mouse and usb HD

any thoughts ?

umm what processor do you have? i hope you didn't buy dual channel ram if you have an i7 920...your ram should be either 3, 6, or 9 gig odd tripple channel sets

9800gt
i7 920 @ 3.2GHz Corsair H60

i never used the sleep fox for this issue plus erratic system behavior from wake...i wouldn't use....just my opinion

I have been getting this weird error on startup after the 10.6.3 update
I have running Vanilla kernel


EVGA X58
i7 -920 3.20GHZ
6GB DDR3 1600MHZ


I have followed the guides and been running 10.6.2 forever.
I did the 10.6.3 update and whacked myself, might restore my kexts from a backup.

Got any ideas for a quick fix.

BTW...I applied the old AppleHDA 10.6.2 kext and found a 10.6.3 kext on kexts.com
- Sound was working

*** WARNING kext.com.apple.iokit.CHUDprof has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel* and com.apple.kpi* components; use only one style
- Screen locks up on boot before prompt to put my password in.

can you please post the applehda file you used from 10.6.3

thanks

obviously fakesmc is your problem, have you tried removing or updating it?

Here is the file from kexts.com
- Binary patched AppleHDA.kext for ALC889

I was messing around, shouldn't have been...lol

I got the PC to boot again, however now it only boots in "-x" safe mode?

If I attempt to boot normal, I lose the video after I login in with my password.
- I see my desktop and dock load, but the screen blanks (blacks) out as if I unplugged the cable, the PC stays on and I can hear sound and use the keyboard to shut it down.

Any ideas with this one?
- I did not add any Nvidia kexts and have been using my card's EFI string in "com.apple.Boot.plist" for months now. (Nvidia 7800 GT 256MB)

Thanks.

log into save mode make a new user and log in normally with the new user. if that works one or more of your pref files might be corrupt/bad

In addition you can try to delete the pref folders (/system/lib/pref and ~/lib/pref)

Apparently, I had no problem updating to 10.6.3 beside the common audio issue which was fixed with the kext I uploaded.

I installed it and then used pfix to set the permissions, disk utility, repair, and then a reboot.


However, for some reason it was picking up my second DVI output as if I was using dual displays. WEIRD, it never happened before in 10.6.2 or before....but I swapped my connection to the other DVI plug and FIXED.

I over thought that one quite a bit!
- Just an update to those with ATI or NVIDIA cards with dual display, don't think your MAC is broken, it may just be the output your connected too!



I thought I was stuck at this screen, no mouse, no login box

Thanks for all the help.

As a 1st timer I will note a few things that I encountered with my EVGA X58 Classified (E760) board. With the lasted bios installed. 1st this guide is excellent to get you a long ways. I made a few mistakes along the way and it took me about a week of 12 hour days to get me back on track. This is with reading I did along the way about dsdt's and becoming a forum member to 8 other forums, LOL.

Step 1: It says a disto of Kalyway 10.5.7 but if all you can get your hands on is a copy of 10.5.2 then that works great too. That is what I used. Don't bother trying to upgrade to 10.5.7 though, it didn't work for me and it is a waste of time. With 10.5.2 I had internet and that was excellent to download and read what I needed to without going back and for between my PC.
4. Airwalks DSDT.aml was the same as mine in everyway even though I have some different drives and more ram and different vid card.
Step 6: Is now Chameleon 2.0-RC4
I love this little program.

I confirmed that you don't need "busratio=20" in the boot.plist file. BUT you need the -x64, nothing else. To confirm once your OSx boots go to the apple, select About This Mac, select "More Info" and go to Software, in the System Software Overview it will tell you whether 64bit kernel is running or not.
Or open Terminal and copy and paste:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi

In reality you may be changing between this depends on how you want your computer to function. For example using a 64bit photographic program in 64bit mode will give you about 30% faster results. BUT as I discovered I lost 3ware Raid. My Ethernet that I had running is gone. Audio doesn't matter because that wasn't working for me anyways. It's funny because you can use a slightly different code that everyone running a regular Mac has to use anyways because every new Mac except for the Xserver's run at 32bit by default.
So in your boot.plist you enter
arch=-386 for 32bit
or
-x64 for 64 bit
or
arch=x86_64 also does 64 bit mode.

Is it worth it, I don't think so. Why? You can get more or less the same use of your RAM as long as you make sure the 32 bit box is unchecked. (see photo).

When I get 64bit drivers for my necessary stuff then I will switch.
