ok, sk1nhd33t i finally manage to install SL...with bits of this tuto and part of the OSInstall.mpkg method, and lots of try/error/try again. I was forced to use AppleIntelPIIXATA from leopard because somehow the new one for SL did not recognize my mac partition, during install on your method or any other method too . i used Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640 and EFI 2.0.
Sound works good, internet too, no Kp (only when i was trying to install Photo CS4),sleep is working, the problem is when i come back from sleep sound is full of glitchs (like leopard too).
my major annoyance is every time i boot to SL (installed on one hdd of 3 at my disposal) i have to boot with flags -v -f -x32 otherwise it will stall.
i edited boot.plist like this but still will not boot.
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1440x900x32</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-f -x32</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>boot-uuid=B5375017-4D34-3E88-9B6867110FDFEA89</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>Default</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
is there any way to make it boot automatically without typing those fags everytime

I downloaded the PleaseSleep application, which seems to work just fine!
But its really really ugly and there is no setting to hide it completely, remove the menu bar icon or the floating window, you must have atleast one, and i would like it to run completely in the background. I really dont need to change any preferences at any time.

So how's this done?
Using it on my netbook too, therefore i need the space in the menu bar, cause of the low resolution.

My thought exactly ... have you try to choose the non-menu bar option (floating window) then go to preferences-> accounts and you'll have the option to see what app that auto-run when login automatically and make hidden? That way it'll be minimized to the dock.

PleaseSleep cant be hidden even if you tick hide on startup so what i did was change it's menubar icon, at least now i dont see a tricolor "Zzz" icon and it matched other icons in my menubar



pleasesleep is the icon before MainMenu (eraser icon)

The thing is i only have 1024x600 resolution, and it sucks to have many icons at the topmenu.

Hope we'll find a solution!

I have 10.5 running fine on an Abit IP35 Pro w/ ATI 4850 video card. Can't get the install of SL to work unfortunately. I'm booting from an external USB HD and it takes about an hour to get to the attached screen. It then either freezes or after several more hours it shows some audio related issue.

I booted with the -v -x32 options. Also had to put the NullCPUPowerManagement kext in the Extensions folder to get past an HPET-related kernel panic. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

@sk1nhd33t Do you fee like being even more generous and sharing your menu-hilite.gif, menu-off.gif, and menu-on.gif? Right now I use a 22x22 pixel transparent gif.

My mainboard has 2 NICs, w/ one disabled booting setup took a very long time, both enabled and it would freeze after network initialization. Purchased and installed an RTL-8169 card and disabled the onboard cards, ut now I get a kernel panic. Any suggestions?

Chess kernel panic.

Chess kernel panics in 64 bit as soon as I move the mouse. Front Row and the ripple effects in dashboard work fine though. Chess is fine in 32 bit kernel. It makes me wonder if I have qe/ci only in 32 bits or if its not clear cut like that.

This is the crash screen:

I have the G31M-ES2l and the graphic card Asus GeForce 7300GT 256mb.
Output through DVI.
Snow leopard with kexts as in sk1nhd33ts guide.
Chameleon RC 2/3 boot0 boot1h and netkas 10.3 boot. No efi string - GraphicsEnabler in boot.plist. Kext Utility.

I don't know much about Quartz extreme and Core Image except that they are supposed to make the GPU do more of the work.
The 7300 is pretty weak though so I don't know what the difference would be.
The Wikipedia entry for Core Image list the 7300 as one of the cards used by apple for core image and notes that "any GPU capable of handling Core Image instructions is also Quartz Extreme capable". I used a trial version of iMaginator and ran this test I found. There was no difference under 32 or 64 bit (around 2 min 40 sec). I also used Core Image Fun from the developer tools. Transitions and effects worked fine in both 32 and 64 bit. (it crashes when using large pics like the example pics). Quarts composer also seems to work.

Xbench gives me slighter higher value for quartz and openGL in 64 bit…

Clicking the "Open in 32bit mode" under 64 bit kernel doesn't help Chess.
I also tried out an app called OpenGL Extensions Viewer. No difference in cpu % while testing.
