Fate:
I think for our purposes those two discs are the same (meaning I think that the OSInstall.mpkg is the same on both). I used the upgrade disc to do a full install.

Jay:
so everything works but video right?

It also looks like Ethernet is not being detected. Haven't tried installing VoodooHDA for the audio yet. Figured I'd work on one thing at a time.

EDIT: Also a little info about the video: In Chameleon if I go to video info, it'll list a few resolutions - the highest being 1600x900x32. I set that in boot.plist and it displays it fine. If I set 1920x1080x32, it defaults down to 1280x1024x32. I'm guessing this would just be another driver issue since Chameleon is using the kexts in the /Extra folder, correct?

Try my dsdt file (attached) and see what happens. Ethernet should work and it should be setup to receive voodoohda (it's not patched for hdef, when you patch for hdef voodoohda stops working).

If ethernet doesn't work then read through the file that airwalk directed me towards for patching hdef and lan, you might find something there

Thanks a bunch. I'll try it as soon as I get home.

Your dsdt didn't work so I figured I'd try making my own. I finally got iasl to re-create the aml from dsl. Still doesn't work with my dsdt. Gonna try and do that patch you mentioned.

Okay, so that patch got audio installed, whereas before it said no device installed. Unfortunately, still not getting any sound. Gonna try the full document tomorrow and see if I can get both working. Too tired now.

EDIT: Okay, because I got tired of moving back and forth between my MacBook, I burned a copy of Psystar's Rebel-EFI and am using that as a temporary "mac installation" to do all the things I normally do from my MacBook. Anyway, as soon as I booted into that partition, it had ethernet ready to go. I looked at it loading in -v mode and it said it was loading RealtekR1000. I googled it and downloaded that network driver from Psystar's site and installed with Kext Utility. I'm still not getting ethernet on my installed drive. Here's the picture of that psystar drive with ethernet ready to go. Sorry for the camera shot, for some reason I couldn't cmd+shift+4 the screen.

EDIT2: After looking at that .pdf, it looks like I forgot to change the AZAL to HDEF in this line of code:
Code:

Method (_L0D, 0, NotSerialized)
{
    Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USBE, 0x02)
    Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USE2, 0x02)
    Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02)
    Notify (\_SB.PCI0.AZAL, 0x02)
}

I'm pretty convinced that's what's stopping it from actually outputting sound.

msf5042 11-10-2009 07:45 PM

do you have the correct voodoohda installed by kext utility in /s/l/e?

msf5042 11-10-2009 07:49 PM

Also, in system prefs->sound->output make sure you have the right device selected.

I couldn't get voodoohda to work after I patched my DSDT for hdef. I left AZAL in and installed and got "no audio devices found" in system profile but my sound works.

JaysFreaky 11-10-2009 07:57 PM

I never installed Voodoo. That guide said you had to remove it anyway when you patch the dsdt.
