Sound update.

Some progress, but unfortunately not quite right yet.

Tried some plist editing and some kexts, but without much luck so far.

But I have found that the updated voodoohda.kext works better than iAtkos DVD one.
Sound plays fine, better than before actually, but isnt perfect as mic in is still off.

get it here - http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/

Curiously, this kext woke up the subwoofer in Windows 7 !! oh yeah, got it to dual boot perfect with Chameleon 2, really simple actually, will write about it soon. Made it work, went on youtube to test and BOOM, looool... Its a problem hundreds of people have, win7 32 and 64, vista 32 and 64 and Xp, tried them all, none worked as good as Osx loool.

Hi,

Thanks for your guide, system is working fine, but I have problem only with ethernet connection.

It looks like my system cant find a network card or something like this, or I just don't know how to set network in mac, I try DHCP connection, but it can't find my IP address, but with linux, or windows is working, so I dont know, how can I resolve this problem, because, without internet is difficult to resolving something.

I never work with mac before, but I listened from friends, that is great, better like windows.

I will be very thankfull, if somebody can help me.

PS: Sorry about my english, Im from Slovakia

edit: I have the same laptop model like you

hi i've got the 6935g too..

it's working fine for me now. i went out to buy a generic OSX compatible USB wifi for 14 Euros.

now wireless works.

have to read carefully the instructions not to leave out any steps.

----FIXED---

Thank you! it's working, all except ethernet...

I've the same machine as you, aspire 6935g - 864g32mn

Installed the ktext with osxtools, but still no ethernet... what am I doing wrong? How?

----""----

Whenever something doesn't work properly, just re-install. I did it , and now it works. Now to get dual boot working... MAybe i'll use bootcamp, since I always manage to corrupt the Vista install...

Fisheye - YEY !! congratulations!!

You must have forgotten to do something... anyways, now it is fixed.

Dual booting, people think its a problem but it is NOT, you only have to understand how play with bootloaders and active partitions.

Install Osx first, install Vista/Win7 second, this will "break" OSx booting, dont worry. Vista has set its partion as active.

If it gives an error at the end, its normal.

Insert Vista DVD and choose repair option, when it looks for OS, dont let it automatically fix, go to the next menu and choose the command prompt.

In command prompt type

"diskpart" - without the "" of course, just to let you know the sequence. Press enter

"list disk" - this shows all disks present.

"select disk X" - where X is the numer 0, 1, 2 whatever. See the number of your Leo/vista install.

"list partition" same procedure as before. See number of your Leo install

"select partition X" - where X = Leo partition

"active" - press enter

"quit" - just to be nice and tidy. Not really necessary

Reboot

Now you'll have Chameleon showing both partition, but do NOT try to boot into VISTA or WIN 7. Boot Leopard, and copy the boot.ini files that is in the root into the root of Vista/Win7.

If by any chance when you reboot you get an error, insert iAtkos DVD and ONLY select Chameleon 2 and Post Action. This of course to the destination of your Leo and NOT Vista partition

Reboot and you should be able to go into Microcrap Vomit, or Winsh*t 7.

(sorry, having major problems with these two idiot OS's)

I have a 6930G, which has slightly differing hardware to the 6935G, e.g NVIDIA 9300GS

what do I need to do to adjust your guide for this model?

thanks

Hi paradoxni

Not much I suppose.

Well, basically check for different HW, for instance, you gfx card. Whatever is different, you'll have to hunt down kexts for it.

Basically, I think, you have different gfx and two harddrives.

If that is the case, just follow my tutorial, except you cant just copy my apple.plist because it containes gfx string for 9600m GT for this Acer model. You'll have to make your own and copy it to the info.boot.apple.plist.

One thing is to boot up, that is 80% of the work done, and these new distros + chameleon are heaven sent.

Next step is fine tune your system for eficiency and stability. Stability comes from correct CPU, Ram readings, solid gfx, although sometimes it works right but reads wrong in system profile. You should run some tests (geekbench, xbench) to check.

Kernel Panics are to be dealt with. If you have them, something is wrong. One thing is KP from wrong HW specs, another is random KP. Tis last one is very rare.
