google iAnderw's menubar icons (should be in devianart) to download the icons there coz my hack is currently stuck on the 3rd floor of our house.. my country (Philippines) was recently hit by typhoon ondoy and some areas (including ours) are still are flooded. Internet is still not restored in my area so im typing this on my MBP on 3G. Thank god though it's just the flood and my family, me and my gadgets are safe :)

EFI strings can be obtain by using an app called OSX86tools or EFIStudio. fro the graphics mode, it's the max resolution of your monitor. You can also try skipping efi strings and use " GraphicsEnabler=Yes" on your boot.plist (RC3 or PCEFI10.3 required)

maybe sometime but i dont see the point because all of the new files are either linked or can easily be found like netkas fakesmc V2 n 10.3.

for audio, voodooHDA in S/L/E works flawlessly except after waking from sleep but the quoted kext above wont work alone without an HDEF patch in your DSDT (thanks to coconup). clear your cache after replacing the kext and create and mkext.

also be sure to check System Preference then go to Sound and choose Internal Speakers/Built-In Speaker for both Sound Effects and Output Tab.

here's how the setup goes, any of the 3 combination will do:

- LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver + LegacyHDAPlatformDriver + HDEF = audio
- LegacyALC883.kext + HDEF = audio
- VoodooHDA (S/L/E) + untouch dsdt = audio

if all fails then i dont know what to suggest anymore ^_^

check above, you must be doing something wrong coz i have the same F8 bios.

you can also check this automated installer created by Conti, this will install RC3 + PC EFI 10.3 including the kext needed except for our alc883 audio, for permission and creating Extensions.mkext check this too (again created by Conti), it's an automated and manual command to fix and create your mkext, just edit it before running since conti uses CustomExtension on his script or rename your extensions folder.

HTH :)

Sound is working. I did a fresh install on another drive, copied over my settings manually, and then used carbon copy cloner to get it all back on my original disk.

Spotlight KP
 

Hi,

(i thought my installation went well, but now i have the following problem. Every time i boot my computer, Spotlight is trying to index my harddrive and my hackintosh gets a KP and i have to reboot...booting....Spotlight trying to index...KP...reboot...etc. :'( Someone has a fix for me?)

O.K. it's not (only) a Spotlight problem. I stopped running spotlight and deleted the index. (hostconfig SPOTLIGHT=-NO- and mdutil -i off /, mdutil -E /) Now i get every few minutes a KP...Grrrr. Any suggestions?

Another point is that i can't suspend, i have to shutdown the computer every time. Smartsleep didn't help.


HW: G31M-ES2L, E5200, 4GB RAM
SW: see install-instructions (except installing Chameleon RC1 manually), SnowLeopard 10.6.1

I'm a bit confused about the PleaseSleep appliation... I don't have PleaseSleep and my sleep seems to work fine, as in my computer turns itself off in, say 20 minutes. It turns on my fast after this, thus I assume it went to sleep. Am I missing something here?

P.S I have the same board as sk1nhd33t.

I recommend the dr. hurt bootloader linked some where in this topic.
I couldn't get my usb to boot with the standard RC1/2/3 or EFI boot files either.
So just restore your SL iso to the USB drive, install the dr. hurts bootloader and put the extensions(USB) folder and others in the extra folder.

Help w/G31-ES2L SL install
 

I've followed your guide, installed from USB successfully, booted into fresh SL partition (-v x32), installed Chameleon RC2 package for EFI HFS, copied boot to root, copied Extras to root with com.apple.boot.plist with EFI String for 8600GT 256MB from OSX86 Tools, renamed extensions.

When I then try to boot into the drive with -v x32, it kernel panics. I don't understand, this has happened twice on me after another fresh install and then isntalling chameleon.

any help/suggestions?

you dont need PleaseSleep because manual and automatic sleep is working for you.. lucky you :)

care to share the rest of your specs?

recreate an Extensions.mkext and boot in 32bit, looking at your pic it's booting in 64bit. to boot in 32bit use "-x32" for PC-efi or "arch=i386" for RC2/3

i have successfully installed 10.5.6 on my G31M-ES2L, can someone tell me if the BIOS settings for 10.5.6 and 10.6 be the same? or someone please post the BIOS settings for 10.6 :)

I haven't had anything to change.
