Can't see installed partition at Chameleon selection screen when first boot
 

Hi everyone,

I followed the step to install my snow leopard but have problems with first boot.
First Boot:
● press F12 Boot Menu again then choose your USB flash drive, we need to do this because our SATA drive is not bootable on it's own yet
● on the Chameleon selection screen, choose your never booted Snow Leopard drive/partition . (Encouter problem, i can only see the flash install driver here.)

I guess it may related to Extra/com.app.boot.plist. Below is mine, Could anyone give a help ?

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>bootcamp</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

will this method work for sure on the G41M-ES2L Rev 1.1 boards ???

Also I notice there is no AHCI Sata mode in the bios, is this a deal breaker?

Hey guys,

Anyone made the rear audio blue port (maybe line-in) as speaker out (aside from the green port). I need to add two more speakers that will be plugged in the blue port but it will not work. Of course, it works in Windows 7 as rear speaker out. I already have two speakers which are connected to the green port and works fine. I was hoping that I can also do this in OSX with the blue port additional speaker thingy.


Thank you :D

Self-Assigned IP Address with TEG-PCITXR
 

I have a G31M-ES2L Rev 2 which I have gotten everything but the ethernet working. I understand the onboard ethernet is junk on this board so I bought a TrendNet TEG-PCITXR PCI ethernet card which Lifehacker and others have said works OOB.

The card gets recognized by OSX although it only gets a self assigned IP address.

Has anyone had any experience getting a card with only a self-assigned IP address working?

P.S. I used the myHack_Installer_1.0.mpkg, DSDT Patcher, and the following kexts;

EvOreboot.kext
FakeSMC.kext
IONetworkingFamily.kext
LegacyALC883.kext
LegacyAppleRTC.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
SleepEnabler.kext

Now that the OP has "retired" and 10.6.3 is out will someone else experienced be updating the Guide?

I see Asere's bootloader is now included - does that mean we no longer need worry that there is a new version of MyHack out?

Alright all, I took the dive and am running 10.6.3.

Delete your 10.6.2 sleep enabler kext and replace with this one:

Then after the update, run tonymacx86's package to get your audio working again:

I'm still testing sleep. Last auto sleep using the RIP3 script didn't wake from sleep, but rebooted my comp. Still testing.

Oh, and yes this is running on a G31M-ES2l specifically.
