Any one using the old school PATA (IDE?) HD's I have a few I tried to throw in my machine I got one recognized but it hasnt been recognized again. not really sure what the deal is just wondering. ive toyed with the bios too but again im not sure what I can do, the bios doesn't seam to recognize them. I might need pin covers for the drive. I thought the bios chose which drive was being used so i threw the master slave covers out... Hope I don't need em. Also here are my kexts if anyone sees any tweaks I could make let me know

Thanks again

I tried to do this yesterday and never got it to work. The BIOS recognised the disks (as it should) but SL failed to see them. I suspect a new Kext is needed but I put mine in a Firewire enclosure and it worked fine.

I had one working, I'll let you know if I can get it working again. I switched a few kexts around I have to figure out what was working. I

Regarding IDE drives.
My backup clone is on a IDE drive and boots fine, also the dvd drive I sometimes connect is IDE.
I don't use any special kexts. It's just a hassle to get the little jumpers right on the drives, the master/slave thing. And then the connector on the IDE cable matters too, middle or end. One time I couldn't get it to work no matter what I did, but then I discovered that a cable had got lose at the molex connector, so no power...

" I thought the bios chose which drive was being used so i threw the master slave covers out"

I assume you mean jumpers? To some extent you're right, but you really do need them. Unless you do cable select, which can be a bit flaky and then where on the cable they are matters more, and you need the right sort of cable for it.

IDE drives also work fine for me here.

As above, make sure you have it cabled up right.

That means master *should* be on the end of the IDE cable (and make sure it's the correct sort, should be an 80 not 40 wire one for HDs), the slave nearer the mobo. Also be sure to set master/slave jumpers correctly.

Hi, I am working on my second hackintosh (last one was like a year ago, and the whole ideneb thing was allot easier for me )

Anyway I have a G31M-ES2L with a 2.33ghz c2d, 4gb of ram, ati 4550 card.

I was able to make it through 90% of the instructions in the OP, when I got to the part about finding "_WAK" and coping DTDG I did not understand what it wanted me to do.


- on your keyboard press "command F (Find)" and look for "_WAK", right above it copy paste "DTGP" located on your dsdtfix file
- again "command F (Find)" and enter RTC, look for "0x04" below RTC and changed them to "0x02" - this fix is for CMOS Reset
- command F (Find) and enter Azalia, go to dsdtfix file and copy paste "HDEF" to your dsl replacing azalia.. again check my included dsl for reference - this is for ALC883 Audio
- when done and sure everything is correct, hit save or (command S) to save your dsdt.dsl
- to compile it to .aml, drag and drop it (dsdt.dsl) to iAslMe, you'll get 1 warning (PARM under IGD0) but hopefully you have 0 error
- look for Sessions folder and copy dsdt.aml to /Extra of your Snow Leopard

What DTGP is it talking about? In the authors file it has those letters mixed in with a whole bunch of other stuff 2 lines above _WAK.

I also did the search for RTC on my file, and I did not see a 0x04, I even tried a search for 0x04, with no results.

I tried doing pfix with the authors .aml file, yet all i get is premission denied on ever line (no I don't have a pass or anything that would limit it).

Can some explain to me how I am doing this wrong? I would really like to get this thing to work.

I tried doing pfix with the authors .aml file, yet all i get is premission denied on ever line (no I don't have a pass or anything that would limit it).

you need to runn that as sudo(admin), so open terminal, type "sudo and then drag the program into terminal, and then enter, next it will ask for you password type it in and away it will go. I hope this helps in someway....

Thanks for the guide, I Got 10.6.2 working great so far, but I was wondering if anyone could reffer me to a good guide for enabling native speed stepping.

Ok, I've followed the guide, but am a bit shaky on a few points. I went thru all this with 10.5.6 8 months ago and had it working, but then went a different direction since then, and am just now coming back to the ox86 world, so I'm a little rusty. Please forgive these being basic questions...

I've done the SL install and booted to my SATA drive with success. I have audio and ethernet working.

Question #1: I have an E5200 2.5GHz dual core proc. I'm unclear which smbios I should choose (the iMac I think). I copied the iMac 9,1 folder over from the USB and set SMMAximalclock to 2500, but About this Mac reports 2.57GHz .. is that ok?

Question #2: several places in the guide it mentions that "QE/CI is already activated".. how does one tell under SL?... when I did this with 10.5.6, I _think_ (fuzzy memory) it would tell you under About this Mac/More Info/ Graphics.. but I don't see any indication here (9500 GT).. NOR (as a sanity check) on my MacBook (with 9400M)
EDIT: add, I found this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB6CNs-Zvkw which clearly shows what I would have expected to see.. BUT as I said, even on my 2009 MacBook I don't see that ?!?!?

Question #3: when I was doing this with 10.5.6, the 8400 card I had then was somewhat unsupported (my EFI strings were never the same)... and changing resolution had the potential to render the system useless... is it safe to change resolutions nowadays?

Giving back #1:. I saw several questions about temperature monitoring (and I really wish iStat would work), but "Temperature Monitor" will work (the full version installs an extra driver that does the trick). Cpu Info didn't seem to provide that info for me (recommended elsewhere)
EDIT: has anyone tried FakeSMC? http://netkas.org/?p=338 .. comments suggest varied levels of success.

All in all, this was a MUCH smoother process than when I was cramming 10.5.6 onto this mobo. Many thanks for the guide !!!

hi guys

First of all , excellent guide
It´s my first post and first OSx86 projekt
everything works fine on my G31M.ES2L but sound dont work.

i am a bit confused on this step , taken from first page

i cant find "RTC with 0x04 & Azalia" in my dsdt.dsl file.
but why ?
what i do wrong ?
please help me
