Setup.app ? You can find it in Applications/Utilities. I get good results recording from both mic inputs and also from line-in. Good luck |

A Long Road
This thread has absolutely been the most helpful thread on my long road to a stable SL install. Thank you so much.
I've had a hackintosh for some time. I was a distro kiddie for a long time; Kalyway mostly. They ran well but I think it was going from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 that I lost my Mac partition for a few months because I tried to take an Apple System Update. Well that was enough to convince me that a vanilla install was the path to take. A vanilla install has meant going from a simple distro to Chameleon bootloader and DSDT patching. I'm pretty happy with the results. Here's where I'm at now: Asus P5K-e (bios 1202) 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo 4GB 800MHz DDR2 disabled JMicron ATA in bios Completed: vanilla install Chameleon install DSDT patch for: audio, USB, SATA To Do: DSDT patch for: Time Machine, Sleep, Speedstep uninstall 7900GS/install Radeon 4670 double-check RTC fix was in my last dsdt edit move to EFI partition As I've lumbered along I did encounter some things that befuddled me. Here are some residual questions I'd like some feedback on: 1. /Extra/Extension.mkext My DSDT.aml file would not work for the longest time but as soon as I built an Extensions.mkext I suddenly had sound. Is this a necessity? The Chameleon documentation seems to make it optional. 2. DSDT.aml vs dsdt.aml Must this be capitalized? Is a specific key entry in com.apple.Boot.plist necessary? (ex: r(2,1)/Extra/DSDT.aml 3. EFI Strings... um where? Ok. I used OSX86Tools to get my 7900GS running. Worked fine but everytime I look at /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist my efi strings are not in there. I do a spotlight search for com.apple.Boot.plist and none of the ones on my hard drive have the strings? What the heck is OSX86Tools patching? Where are my EFI strings? I need to know to uninstall my 7900GS and stick in the new card. I know it's a stupid question but I just could not find the edit anywhere. 4. Kextcache on EFI partition Through this process, to protect my OS install, I've experimented on a spare USB drive before implementing a change on my production partition. The only difference between the two is that USB drive has boot and /Extra on the EFI partition. After I had success with an Extensions.mkext I attempted to create one on my USB EFI partition but got all kinds of ownership errors on the /Extra/Extensions. I never could create the Extensions.mkext there. I did chmod/chown the EFI contents. I believe the kextcache command went something like: sudo kextcache -v 1 -t -l -m /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions Thanks again for a really great thread. I feel like I can see the finish line. |

What version of Chameleon are you using ? rc 2 rc3 ? If you are using other than Chameleon 2.0-RC3 please install this version before you continue reading. Quote:
In order to have sound working you need to do 2 things: put a dummy kext called AD1988BFix.kext either in /SnowVolume/Extra/Extensions or SnowVolume/System/Lybrary/Extensions AND add some strings in your DSDT.aml. You don't have to do a new Extensions.mkext just because you modified something in your DSDT.aml, but because you have added a new kext (AD1988Fix.kext) That's why your sound started to work after you rebuild your new Extensions.mkext. About the Extensions.mkext and system extensions. Extensions.mkext it's a cache of your current set of kexts . Every time you start your"mac", the system will load the extensions from this Extensions.mkext to avoid reading all the kexts and improve the boot time. That's why when you change something in your kexts, add new one(s) or delete some, it's mandatory to let your system know that by either deleting Extensions.mkext and forcing the system to build a new one with your current kext or, my favorite method : booting with -f option. When you boot with -f option the system will read the /Extensions folder, will load the new or modified kexts, if there any and will rebuild the Extensions.mkext. Quote:

Did you checked both ? Also, if you are using chameleon rc3 you can add this : Code:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> Quote:
sudo kextcache -v 1 -t -l -m /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions will give you a permission error only on those kext that you add or modified isn't it? You can solve that by moving the kexts that you want to add or modify in /Volumes/EFI/System/Library/Extensions/ chown and chmod them, repair disk permissions with Disk Utility ( or with terminal since you've just chmod and chowned): Code:
diskutil repairpermissions /Volumes/EFI and then sudo kextcache -v 1 -t -l -m /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/EFI/System/Library/Extensions should work. OR if you have Chameleon RC3 installed put the kexts in /Extra/Extensions or /System/Library/Extensions and reboot with -f option |

Can't wakeup with keyboard key or mouse click
Thanks for this wonderful guide. I have 10.6.1 is fully working on P5K-E/WIFI but i have only one small issue. I can't wakeup the PC by click mouse or by keyboard key. I have to press power button to wake up from sleep.
Is any one having similar issue, can't wakeup with keyboard or mouse? Please help. Many Thanks. |

(Mostly did this due to panics in 64-bit mode from GeForce....kext and NVDAN.... kexts. Copying the device string didn't help or hurt. Quote:
Since posting I've applied the RTC clock fix to my DSDT and the Time Machine fix. The sleep fix appears confusing but I think I can work it out by comparing others DSDT.dsl files. I'm not sure about Speedstep. I tried to install my 4670 but got errors and put up a post on insanelymac hoping netkas will see it and comment. Thanks again. |

@Softtester
Do you have the SleepEnabled.kext in place? I have never had a problem restarting with this guide. The only challenge is that sometimes the machine goes black, and takes up to 30 seconds start up again. |

I was wondering if there is someone using a modified dsdt to enable native speedstep on this board?
Since voodoopower doesnt work with a 64bit kernel its the best solution... So i was wondering if someone can post a dsdt with the mods for sleepsteep. Thx |
