iztec, jetpr : I made every mistake as far as audio is concerned but now it is all good. Here is some stuff:
(a) Use the the DSDT update posted by brfransen,
(b) Update the extensions.mkext under /Extra. It may be that the LegacyALC883.kext is not being picked up. Look for a posting by me, infinitethanks, for a long way to do it and responses by smarter people to my posting for a short way to do it.
(b) Use option, system profiler to check the audio profile. If it is not available, you may not have set the audio to auto in bios.
(c) when everything is set correctly, my audio profile looks like the following:
Device ID: 0x1458A002
Audio ID: 883
Available Devices:

My Bios version is F8
Thank you

Who knows about the video. I am running rev 2 of this board. Everything works like a champ, except sometimes I get artifacts in certain graphics programs. (Inkscape,chess,...) Also every once in 50 times it wakes from sleep I get a grey screen, with red,blue and green static.

If I understand correct, Chameleon rev 3 should automatically detect my 9600 GT 512. Any insights? Feel free to PM me until I get this resolved.

Just as a bit of a side note to this method - which absolutely rules BTW - the attached Realtek 32bit network driver causes Kernel Panics and random freezing of the OS several times daily.

I've got a whole bunch of machines with Rev 1 of this board with F8 bios and it's taken me weeks to figure out that it wasn't hardware causing the KP's.

With F7 and F10 bios, any SL install method doesn't see the ethernet card. It seems that only F8 (maybe some of the F9's going around?) works.

Needing Bonjour to be active is necessary for all my computers so I was running in 32bit kernel mode solely because the ethernet driver needed to have the new ifconfig installed (didn't want to remove the vanilla one).

There are a bunch of kext's over at "Stell's Blog" - just Google it and browse to the "Prepare Yourself" post. I moved the RTL1000 kext into the /E/E folder and upon first boot, in 64 bit mode, Bonjour worked perfectly.

Maybe it could be included in the method as an option for Bonjour when booting in 64 bit mode?

thanx for this guide. I now have a working system using a rev 2.0 board. I did encounter some issues, but resolved them with the following:

I used the latest myHack installer, and ran the dsdt patcher instead of compiling my own. I used an EN8400GS graphics card and a Netgear GA311 PCI ethernet card.

Everything seems to work 100% and I'm thrilled.

Thanks to this awesome guide, I have had success in installing SL on my first (rev 1.1 F8) Hackintosh.

I followed the guide exactly, but I chose to go with the onboard video. I suffered from the same problems mentioned previously in this thread - sleep not functioning correctly, etc.

So I decided to go out & get a 9800GT. Using this guide I seem to have gotten it working OK, but I still have the following issue:

Sleep (auto & manual) seems to work OK, but the display won't wake up. The PC itself seems to wake up fine, but the display won't. I have to reset the PC & then I can't get back into the OS unless I use the -pci0 switch.

Of course, the sleepenabler ketx (etc.) have been installed, as per guide.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I might be doing wrong ?

I followed the guide and my system has been up and running for many days now. Many thanks to people on this forum. I even upgraded the system from a lowly E5200 to a Q9550. I guess I want to do more.

(a) Add a clean Ubuntu
I installed Ubuntu and then reinstalled Chameleon. Chameleon recognizes the Linux partition. When I select the linux partition and boot, grub complains about unknown file system and then throws me into grub rescue.

This is the latest and greatest Ubuntu 9.10. Ubuntu boots after installation but does not boot after Chameleon is installed even when Chameleon can see the Linux partition.

Ubuntu is now using ext4 as default file system.

(b) Restore Ubuntu from another machine instead of installing a clean copy. I have not go this far yet. I guess I will use dd (with care).

So yeah, I am asking for trouble and probably deserve it but any advice from someone who has done a clean install or better yet, a restore from another Ubuntu install under Chameleon, will be appreciated.

I could not get Chameleon to launch OSX so I decided to use grub to launch OSX. Ubuntu 9.10 has moved to Grub 2, different from legacy grub. Ubuntu will detect OSX HFS+ boot partitions and create boot menu items and scripts but I it kept on getting kernel panics when I used the grub boot menu ... something to do with invalid number of arguments somewhere in the stack.

Also, unlike legacy grub, grub 2 can read HFS+ partitions.

In Ubuntu, use Gparted to find out which partition has your OSX installed.

Then add a very simple menuitem in Ubuntu grub configuration file:
/boot/grub/grub.cfg (note: used to be /boot/grub/menu.lst in legacy grub)
Use any editor. Make sure you have to have admin privileges to save the changes.

menuitem "Mac OSX boot or whatever you want to call it" {
insmod hfsplus # loads hfs+ module. Grub 2 can read hfs+ files !
set root=(hd0,6) # your partition may be different
multiboot /boot # used to be called kernel in legacy grub.
boot # not really necessary; it is implied
}

Now reboot. You will see your new entry in the grub boot list. Use arrows to select it. It will now boot into chameleon.

I think someone can make it better.

Hi, thanks for the quick response, now i have internet and video working at full capacity, just the audio, but with the usb audio no problems i can live with that, now i have to work in the rosseta so i can play chess in with the java application and as i understand, i dont need another cpu? do i have a good one? thanks.

I did the repair permissions thing that you recommend to me and this is what i get is a screen image of my pc, thanks for your advice.

I can't boot from usb thumb drive, or a western digital mybook external hard drive.

This is starting to drive me crazy. Neither will boot. It just goes straight into Windows 7 on my other partition. I tried to put both as first boot device in bios, and then tried to do it from the boot menu. No dice.

I have a g31m-es2l I bought yesterday, core 2 duo e8200, 2gb ddr2 800 ram... I don't know what the problem is. It just won't boot from the external drives.

Any help? I am so lost at this point.
