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 !!!

The sleepenabler file at netkas.org doesn't seem to be there after the server crash. I got it from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=196466 In Terminal I cd'd to /Extra/Extensions and did a sudo rm -r -f on SleepEnabler and ran the kext update tool. In System Update, I did not find a way to install without a reboot??? so I installed and rebooted (reboot to Desktop, and About this Mac reports 10.6.2) I copied the new sleepenabler into E/E and ran kext util. But no sound... I went in to the Sound panel and re-selected Internal speakers (I have speakers connected to the green jack on the back) and all is well. Then applied the 3 new Java/iTunes/something-else updates and rebooted again. This time however I got a KP, it looks like with (the ISleepEnabler So I rebooted to the USB installer stick and ran Terminal (from the Utilities menu) removed SleepEnabler and Extensions.mkext (no sudo needed, guess the installer disc runs as root) and then restarted. I had no sound and no sound options.. so I ran the kext util again... and rebooted again. So I'm at 10.6.2 with sound, but I guess no sleep for now. EDIT: I installed fakeSMC 2.5 and re-installed the new sleepenabler. Then ran kext util and rebooted. iStat widget (and iStat menus) now reports temperatures. Sleep is instantaneous and more importantly seems to work too (altho I have all the key info not found junk in dmesg) GA-G31M-ES2L.v1, E6300 @ 2.8GHz, nvidia GT240 (or 9500GT), 10.6.6, fakeSMC rev454 Last edited by zim2dive; 12-17-2009 at 03:20 AM. |

Under 10.5 installs, yeah, this was one of the 1st things I'd check after install (I never got the 8400 I was using to be very stable) EDIT: I do see other threads where ppl talk about it not being active.. what are the easiest things to check (since it doesn't seem to be listed under System Profiler anymore) GA-G31M-ES2L.v1, E6300 @ 2.8GHz, nvidia GT240 (or 9500GT), 10.6.6, fakeSMC rev454 Last edited by zim2dive; 12-17-2009 at 02:22 PM. |

To check to see if QE/CI is working, Open your dashboard and add a widget. If you get the bubble effect when it is added, then QE/CI is active.

problem
excellent guide followed it
Problem im having now is i can't boot from the HD. It works fine if i boot from usb and point to towards the HD. But when i try to boot just HD it says boo0: GPT boot0: testing boot0:testing boot0: error I did my reading and everyone says reinstall chameleon. I have done that two diff ways now. The manual way via cmd line, and also using the old RC2 pkg installer and replacing boot with the RC4 version. Trying both those ways resulted in no change, i still get the boot0 error. I would love any insight into this error. I did just try fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 and set the part active. That also didn't change anything and i got same result of boot0 error. I would appreciate any help Thanks! |

FWIW, I get these Xbench results with an E5200 and a single 2G stick of RAM
Overall 144.03 CPU 177.30 Thread 205.34 Memory 161.36 Quartz 225.68 OpenGL 90.05 User Interface 286.73 Disk 77.70 Looking at Mac Mini results as a comparison (figured I'd check against the 2.53 versions), the place where I see wacked better results is on memory and/or disk test.. any idea how folks get those #'s, and/or if they translate into real-usage improvement, or just nicer scores? 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
