Guys, just a quick question to those who updated to 10.6.8:

Do you see MCP79 in Serial ATA part of System Profiler? I'm asking since on 10.6.7 I did but after updating - it became Unknown AHCI Controller...

I saw clearly identified but as of now including 10.6.8 was unknown at the Lion.

So you also had this problem on 10.6.8 and now on Lion?

yep, UnknownAHCIStandardController for serialATA here also :|

Lion/10.6.8 is a piece of shit... seriously...

I have a MacBook myself and Apple's newest system caused my exFAT partition to disappear... not to mention useless Launchpad and shitty replacement of Expose. I am not going to update until it's at least without any serious bugs like it's now.

Anyway, I will definitely find a fix for this Unknown AHCI Controller issue in 10.6.8 (of course everything works fine but... cosmetics is the key!), so I will keep you updated. I really need to create a tutorial...

btw. For all clean DSDT freaks out there - all fixes we should add are:

DTGP method, delete Aliases within CPU section and rename all CPUX to P00(X+1), place Darwin inside of OSYS method (thanks to this we don't have to fix HPET, TMR and RTC sections), delete IRQ inside of PIC device (DVD-ROM fix).

+ in case of sleep problems: don't use Voodoo PS/2 kexts.

I agree on the updates, shitty lion and 10.6.8, 10.6.7 works perfectly. You could have a look at the DSDT from ronovar on the first page, or do a clean DSDT with the fixes you mentioned. As for sleep i dont think that our notebooks can do with Voodoo kexts,

Cheers

Hehe, I don't need renovar's DSDT since mine is completely perfect, all the fixes I mentioned are "discovered" by me, so of course my clean DSDT has them + he has a bit other type of laptop + he added HPET, RTC etc. fixes while they aren't needed (why? look at my info regarding DSDT) + my shutdown works OOTB with my DSDT (no fixes needed). As for Voodoo - I don't like their kexts in general but... wanted to try sth different than ApplePS2Controller ; )

btw. I have a fix for audio problems with popping/noises or how do you like to call it ;-)

NICE can u share the DSDT and the audio fix? Great work man_of_the_oak,

Cheers

Tyvm mate! Im waiting for some type of guide about year.. Read all about installing on my favorit russian applelife(cuz its my language, but seems its outdated totally, and too long responses), and with some type of success installed and used sl for about one year..

But its not clear for me, what kexts i actually need to use, whats wrong in my DSDT file and all of other things i made while using SL.

And i have clicking sound thats driving me crazy.. No problem with shutdown, but restart hangs, not actually problem because i can use shutdown function for restart =) Plz while you working on complete guide, provide us you sond fix if this posible.

Hope you can understand whats the problem with 10.6.8 (still sitting on 10.6.7), and hope this solve problem on Lion, cuz no real useful mail app on OS X, want to use mail5.

Sorry for my english.

I will share everything in my upcoming tutorial, guys ^^ + NEVER, EVER use someone's DSDT, I've got much more knowledge than last time I've worked with Hackintoshes and trust me, you may even destroy your hardware while using someone's DSDT. Always create your own and simply fix it.

@sacrificeme

IMHO tutorial on applelife.ru is a piece of shit. Especially information about DSDT and kexts in their Extra.zip attached to the post o.O WTF?

Anyway, to all Lion lovers, I am going to create LegacyHDA for this one, it will work with 10.6.8 too, of course.
