spinner of death at gray before install
howdy -- followed the instructions to the tee but I seem to be sticking at a gray screen after the large / small text, with a moveable cursor before the install really begins. if i wait long enough it turns into a spinner. any thoughts?

Bootable but won't install
I followed all the steps and when i boot from the USB drive, i get this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/...82f9c6f9_o.jpg
I'm not using a flash drive per se, it is this my mobo boots from it fine but could that still be a problem? I also had trouble with the kexts in the com.appleboot.plist, how do i make my strings or EFI strings? i did it with EFI tool, but thats just for my graphics card, is that how i do it? here are my specs: G31 S2L Q6600 Core2Duo EVGA 9800GT Edit:you can't see it but its in 64bit mode, how do i edit the mkext to keep it in 32? |
guide updated again to base an RC3+PCEFI 10.3 install and updated kext.. made a short guide too in creating your own DSDT using DSDT-SE..
credits to all who found/create all the apps, kext and fixes.. enjoy :) ISSUES im having: - Automatic Sleep w/o the use of PleaseSleep - waking from sleep using my Apple Aluminum KB - the rest is flawless! |
I followed this guide in this thread:
http://lifehacker.com/5360150/instal...cking-required To get everything working fine, easiest way to install. Only Issue I am having is sound, I can't see the input/output device, any help there please? Yes I know the lifehacker guide mentions a different motherboard, but it works fine on this one too. Now, I just need sound working from the board. |
Great!!!
Quick Q ... does the myHack installer put stuff into EFI partition? Tkx! Quote:

Really nice to hear that the rest is flawless. May I ask, what SpeedStep app are you using (64bit)? I use CPUi which seems to work but I was wondering that you might be using something better. Voodoopower only works in 32-bit :( |

I've tried voodoohda 64bit in s/l/e too but, mic input almost always never worked properly. Using appleHDA just feels more satisfying and produces a bit clearer sound, imho :p Great stuff, thanks!! :D |

that's what im using right now including my backup leopard partition.. i prefer it because it's hidden and im not tempted to tinker it a lot haha! Quote:
been reading the DSDT vanilla speedstep guide for quite sometime now but it seems it's made for the more geeky peeps, made a few try but gave up afterwards :p BTW CPUi doesnt work on me (64bit), care to link the kext/app you used? are you using Quad or C2D? |
Hi, i was wondering if i could get some quick help. I had my computer set up properly and everything worked, but i wanted a larger hdd, anyway i formatted and set everything up again and its working perfect. But for some reason i have nfi why, i cant connect to anything shared with samba, from windows 7, osx, or solaris. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening, when i try to connect it just sits there saying connecting and never finishes.

Can't open Chameleon Screen
I have tried this and followed other guides on how to Install the retail SL but I can't get the Chameleon screen to open after booting from the USB drive. Does anyone know why I can't get Chameleon to run or has anyone else had this problem? I'm trying to install to Dell M90 Laptop.
