Snow Leopard works! Some problems... Should be easy to fix! - Page 3

Did that. Will test shutdown/restart whenever I get to it

.

Something really stupid keeps happening. When browsing around some folders, Finder will randomly kill itself and come back up. EXTREMELY annoying!

So everything is working except wifi (Atheros AR5007).

Also, Finder randomly crashes.

I'm going to backup my working drivers and reinstall SL to see if this fixes my Finder problems and Disk Utility problems.

Just reinstalled Snow Leopard using my previous methods. Got everything working like before, and the Finder problems are gone! Still can't repair permissions in Disk Utility, but oh well!

To fix the Repari permissions problem, you must edit Info plist in PlatfromUUID.kext

Code:

<key>PlatformUUID</key>
<string>HEREISPLACEFORUUID</string>

To string place UUID of your snow partition. get it in disk uttility ( right click to paartiton and select information)

And add this kernel flags to com.apple.boot.plist

Code:

rd=uuid boot-uuid=HEREISPLACEFORUUID

Just one quick question.

Has anyone been able to make hardware acceleration to work with GMA X3100 under 64 bit mode??

Thanks

^^ Probably not, unless Apple decides to make them 64-bit compatible.

@slic: It didn't work. Still getting the error in Disk Utility.

Whatever I just did made my DVD drive show up

.

New problems: sometimes, after the Apple logo/verbose mode, it'll just stay at the grey screen instead of changing resolutions and going to the login screen. I can actually type in my password, press enter, and take screenshots and hear the camera shutter. Took about 5 reboots just now to get it to work.

Also, shutdown/restart still isn't working. It'll turn my monitor/USB devices off and it'll sit there for 30-60 seconds. I'm using the updated fakesmc.kext file.

Put the UUID in

com.apple.boot.plist (Extras)
smbios.plist (Extras folder, entry under SMUUID)
UUIDplatform.kext - right click - info.plist (also in root of Extras)

run kext utility to update perms and mkexts and reboot

Hey slic,
I saw your signature and noticed you got the same broadcom 57xx I got, but you got it working.

I haven't been able to make it work. SL sees it, it's active and 'green' in my configuration settings but it just doesn't work, I can't connect to the internet nor to the lan.

I have it working on my Leopard 10.5.8 but I lost any hopes in making it works under Snow Leopard. I'd be very glad if you could help me.

Thanx in advance!

Why should I put in my UUID? It automatically knows what it is when booting...
