Shutdown
Hi guys,
thanks for this very good Thread. I user my Hack since 3 months, all is going perfectly. I assembled many hacks, and this hack is going the best way of all ! THANKS ! But one question is left. I have the problem, that i can't shutdown the hack. Sleep is going well, but restart and shutdown isn't going. It hanks at the blue background where this circle rotates :) Does anyone knows if this is normal ? |
G31M ES2L ethernet.
Hi All,
Would really appreciate some help. I followed the above install, and it has gone pretty well, apart from the sound, which I'm going to tackle later. Anyway, more importantly is the ethernet. I am using a small case and am limited with PCI slots (so no space for wifi card). I was aware that the onboard ethernet wouldn't work (or so I have read). So bought a startech st100slp ethernet card. It shows up as working on the system, but when I go to network, there is a red light next to it. Anyone know how to get it working for the internet? Thanks in advance! |

Hi,
Yes, sorry it's rev 2. The onboard ethernet is completely dead and not recognised by SL. So I added the card, and everything started off fine -SL picked up the ethernet card in "about this mac. But, when I try to connect to the net, it tells me that there is some sort of problem with the connection. The ethernet has a red light next to it (as opposed to green) and it's not listed in networks, so I can tweak its settings. Is there a driver that I need? Couldn't find one for a startech card.p thanks! |

I followed the instructions for creating the USB Bootable drive. When I turn on my computer and hit F12 for boot menu... I use USB-FDD and USB-HDD. I've tried both, but neither works. It just sits there and says:
Verifying DMI Pool Data..... Did I do something wrong when I created my USB Drive? Everything seemed to go smoothly on the mac side. |

Did you use a MacOX 10.4 to create the USB boot disk? I saw someone posted similar problem due to using a Tiger instead of Leopard (or SL) to create the boot disk. |
I did the 10.6.2 combo update from a fresh install. Removed the old sleepenabler and installed the new one before rebooting. Everything seems to work well except I get a message that my external hdd wasn't properly ejected when I wake the computer up. Is there a fix for this?

I used Leopard. 10.5.8 I believe.

"message that my external hdd wasn't properly ejected when I wake the computer up. Is there a fix for this?"
Yes, you need to edit your DSDT, many fixes posted on various forums. Do some googling. |
