A have SnowOSX Universal 10.6 v3.5 distro and installed it from dvd.

Okej i Restore it to USB and install it from DVD and put the A_Fault_. Folder in the root.

But why must i changed files and must i have another mac and remove the HD from my laptop 6935G.

I installed it from the dvd directly and it worked but the Network and audio didnt work.

So what is the different than your way?

I can install chameleon 2 Rc3 too should it be different? In what way?

I only wounder why...

Video:and download this: kexts.com/view/3-chameleon_2.0-rc2.html install that in osx on your snow leopard drive so you can dual boot Cheers!

Like I said, there are many ways to do things, and since Snow is this young, I prefer to install everything manually to have control. It is very easy to follow, and you will learn how the OS is built up.

Yes, it might have worked ok for you, but might not work for everyone! With my tutorial, the only difference is that it is not pre-patched like your distro to do automated stuff.

Plus, it is already "outdated" as it still uses dsmos. fakesmc is better and faster and way more compatible for most people. Also using chameleon 1 will certainly complicate life of many people.

All in all, basically you get the same thing, except my tutorial, although more "hands on" will certainly offer a better solution. If you stumble across a problem it is WAY easier to identify the cause and fix it, with distro's you are lost if you are not a Terminal ninja.

But, if it worked for you, congratulations! now you only need to find the right kexts for your missing hardware.

I used gfxutil to get my vga hex string and I wrote it down in the com.apple.boot file.

Now I have to modify NVDANV50HAL.kext and NVDAResman with the VGA vendorID & productID : how I can get them?

PS: I dont have windows intalled on my HD anymore

You can download a linux live cd distro and boot that, extract the info from there. "lspci" command might be what you need. Unfortunately it doesnt come stock with OSX. in Leopard, if you install OSxTools, and click "view hardware" or something like that, it will ask to install the command to Console. Then you can manually run the command at any time. It will be part of most, if not all, linux live CD's and DVD's

Can i Change to Fakesmc from dsmos?

HI, Gurriuwiwi...

Okej, I get the picture Gurruwiwi.

I Installed OSX Snow Leopard and it working greate, some trimming to do.

I used folowing kext.

AtlansicL1eEthernet.kext = Networkdriver
VoodooBattery.kext = Batterystatus (buggy)
VoodoHDA.kext
Chameloeon 2 RC3
Used your string for GraphicsCard (Nvidia 6900M GT 512MB) and used the program EFIStudio to write it to com.apple.boot.plist and it worked fine.

So my question is:.

Have you fixed the kext for:

audio
Cardreader

(THIS WORKED FOR ME ON LEOPARD BUT NOT IN SNOW...)

If you have Information please share, what kext do you use for that?

PS: I will look to replace dsmos to fakesmc V2 when i get the information how to do it.

BEST REGARDS / KamalAhmad

Kamal,

Currently I have stopped tweaking my laptop. School has started and I am happy with the way mine is. When more work is being done in the community and I find some time, I will try to refine the little details.

For SD, you can try to put in the card with the computer powered off, the booting. Doesnt always work, but I have managed once or twice.

Audio is working fine here. Except "mic in". I have a pretty good idea how to fix it, but I tried compulsively for 2 straight weeks before school started. Had irrecuperable KP's all the time and had to re-install from scratch many times. It envolves DSDT and AppleHDA patching which is really complicated. I now understand what I was doing wrong, but I don't have the heart to do it now. I have it all nice and set up for productivity. If Voodoo team bring out newer voodoohda, I will try them.

For fakesmc, find the kext (you can download my kext pack), copy it to Extra/Extensions. Then delete dsmos.kext from Extra/Extension. Then run Kext Utility, then Repair Permissions, and reboot.

Thank you for the answer,

I replaced dsmos to fakemc and it worked fine.

My Audio is not working yet. wounder why... maybe missing something.
If i get it working i will start to use my mac and install what I neeed.

Is there any whay to debugg it. you said it have to do with DSDT...

What is the different between the extra folder that chameleon creates? (From the "System/library/extenstions")
Does "extra/extentions" or "extra" loads first?

If you have little time left if you can explain little it would be nice. :) nice to talk to you.

Greatings KAMAL...

Good GUIDE i have a Extensa 5620Z and followed my own tutorial :D
here is my guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVan49_Vm_I

I getting an Faild when loading AppleHDA (for sound???).. when booting...

Gurruwiwi or how have an Acer 6935G can somebody help me..

I Need to know witch .kext is used to what...

Can anybody list a list and publich very nice to know what the kext doing ...

HELP...

I have installed the SL atleast 15 times. only to test what hapends when changing kext. and other tings.

BEST REGARDS /KAMAL

Kamal,

Kexts are more or less like windows drivers. Even if you get a Kernel Panic, you can remove it manually, but this is a bit more complicated as you need Terminal language..

You failing audio messages are absolutely normal !

The dsdt information is not correct for OSX (normal), so AppleHDA cannot find audio device.

In Snow Leopard, when installing kexts, right after you copy them into E/E or S/L/E you must ALWAYS run Kext Utility, and the Repair Permissions.

Kext Utilities will rebuild the kext cache, so if you modify any kext, add or delete, you must do this. Kext Utility will repair also, but manually repairing permissions will find new permissions to repair - so do it also.

There is a slight difference between E/E and S/L/E... the first is created ONLY for Chameleon 2 bootloader to have its files and do its thing (like boot options, chameleon skins and also system Extension (kexts)) - and this helps you keep the system tidy.

So, if you update with Software Update, some system files can be replaced/modified by Apple in their original place, so if you keep all your "hack" kexts in E/E, they will always work over S/L/E

There are some rare cases where you need one kext to work with another (dependancies) and sometimes you will have to copy them into S/L/E for the kext to work, but that is rare.

Say audio... you should use VoodooHDA, it overrides AppleHDA, and works with most audio cards.

If Apple were to make, imagine, an iTunes update that also contains AppleHDA upgrade, imagine to add 3D effect or something, it doesn't matter because you will be actually using another kext to activate audio.

Some kexts substitute others (like voodoHDA) - others will work on top of vanilla kexts.
(the term "vanilla" is used for "Apple original not modified")

Hope it is clearer now !
