So this is whats default after loading the loader mentioned in the megaupload, I assume QE is working even though there is no mention of it in snow leopard. Does your mention QE in snow leopard?

Nope, but I don't use it


No, there is no extra kext for sata, something is wrong, 6 hours


They do, its called "Time Machine" make a backup with it and, and
when you want to restore, boot with what you installed with, and use
"Time Machine" to restore, you will have to reinstall the bootloader
but that's all.

If you are able to play a movie, the finder bar is slightly transparent,
and when you start "Time Machine" it looks like you are out in space,
most likely everything is working, but no my "System Profiler" does
not say any thing about QE, but as far as I know everything is working

Bonjour Problems


I just got a KODAK ESP 5250 All-in-One Printer, and just upgraded my
dad's PC to the same as mine, and set it up has a Hackintosh, I wanted
to share files, and use the printer's WiFi connection to share the printer,
problem is that Bonjour was not working at all, but the internet worked
just fine, so I never noticed

I got looking and found

Bonjour Networking with Realtek drivers & ifconfig

and that led me to

Assorted Mac Stuff

and then the driver

Realtek Software: Drivers & Utilities

I disabled auto setup of the network by editing "com.apple.Boot.plist"

Like this

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>n</string>

and installed the new driver, let it restart the Hackintosh, and BAM
Bonjour works

10.6.3 update

Apple released the 10.6.3 update, so I updated, everything went well,
except one thing, VoodooHDA gave me a kernel panic after update,
so I removed VoodooHDA, and everything worked, but no sound.

To remove VoodooHDA, you would hit "Tab" two times during boot,
select your boot drive and type in two boot options, -v -x

The -v lets you see any errors, and text during boot
and the -x is like safemode

And then remove it from "/System/Library/Extensions"



I started looking for a replacement for VoodooHDA, and found
an AppleHDA.kext modified for ALC888 from this guide that works
well.

[GUIDE] Retail Snow Leopard (10.6.2) Install on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UDR3
(Core i7), Fully working 100%, ALC888 v1.8.3fc1 Included

Later on I intend on using VoodooHDA again when they patch it
for 10.6.3

I seam to have gotten surround sound working



Go to "Applications" then to "Utilities" and open "Audio MIDI Setup"
and click a plus sign "+" in the lower left hand corner to set up
an "Aggregate Device", use the three "Built-In-Line Output" and also
the "Built-In-Digital Output"



then click "Configure Speakers" add a
check buy

"Stream 1 has 2 channels (1-2)"
"Stream 2 has 2 channels (3-4)"
"Stream 4 has 2 channels (5-6)"

but leave "Stream 4 has 2 channels (7-8)" unchecked and click
"Done",



now go to "System Preferences" then to "Sound" then
"Output" and select "Digital Out" and you should be done


I have done that many many times with different drivers, and it never worked
so it must be the new driver, so far I have only tried coax out, but it worked
just fine with a DVD, it shows "Dolby Pro Logic" on the receiver, and I am
getting sound out to all my speakers

Downloading Torrents locks up my Hackintosh

I went back to the way my networking was before, apparently the
Realtek driver works perfectly, except for one thing, it causes
problems with Torrents, and its an issue that even seams to affect
real Macs.

What happens is that you are downloading a Torrent, and out of the
blue your system locks up, and the only thing you can do is push and
hold down the power button and turn off the Hackintosh, from what
I have found it also affects the game WoW and anything that uses the
network intensely and that makes lots of network connections.

Until it gets fixed I may just have to deal with not having BonJour
working.
