Hi I have a problem booting in to my new OSX10.6 installation. The installation is done with the MyHack method.

When I boot with my installation USBdrive still in my computer there is no problem. I can boot in to the bootloader and select my harddrive where I've installed OSX10.6.

When I take out my USBdrive to boot normally it gives me this error message:

Verifying DMI Pool Data

>62970080
<00000002
000000C1
00000048
*<00064028

The underscoure after the 'J' is blinking but I can't type anything. Neither can I press 'enter' or any other button.

Could anyone help me getting my hackintosh booting without the use of my USBpendrive?

Sound like you have not ran the myhack install after you installed Snow Leopard. Try reinstalling the myHack again. so boot into your snow leopard and run myHack install. The myHack will install the boot loader you need to not need the USB key everytime you want to run Snow Leopard.

Thanks for the reaction, I've already tried to install MyHack again but it won't work.

My Problem solved.

I've installed a early version of chameleon boot loader. After that I've done a reboot with the USBdrive. Then again install de MyHack on you MacOSX Harddrive and it's done!

Installed the Bonjour update 2010-001, Security Update, Remote Desktop update, and Xcode update.

So far so good. Rebooted just fine. Internet still works.

I have almost the same hardware as you...would you mind sharing your DSDT?

Much thanks to everyone on this thread for the detailed response and experience. I am proud to say my Hackintosh is up and running minus a few (relatively small) issues.

1. pfix v2.3 crashes whenever I run it. Here is the screen: http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/3...0201085704.jpg (Oddly enough, Kext Utility runs without a problem.) Any clue why it crashes and does it matter?

2. Whenever I try and clone my harddrive using Super Duper! or Carbon Copy Cloner I get these kernel panics: http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3...0131212740.jpg
According to the logs rsync crashes in both cases. Any clue why or how to resolve? I've also noticed this occasionally when transferring large files from usb flash drives. (Even if I disabled Spotlight this happens.)

3. Do the audio ports on the back of the G31-ES2L motherboard work for anyone else? Only the ones in the front work for me.

Specs:
• 10.6.2 - retail
• Gigabyte G31M-ES2L rev 2
• Intel Pentium E6300, 2.8ghz
• SATA, WD 500GB
• SATA DVD
• ASUS EN9400GT
• 4GB DDR2 Memory

Thanks in advance!

Odd.. I thought I replied already (see no reason for this to get moderated out??)

I used the same DSDT as in the ES2L kit in post #1. I figured I'd try it and given the discussion on how to edit, it might not work.. but it did (so far as I can tell), so I left well enough alone.

I have a G41M-ESL2. I've been trying for awhile to get it to boot into SL. I completed the entire process of restoring my SL Retail Disk to my 8GB USB stick and ran the routines, edited the plist file, etc. I put the thumbstick in my gigabyte machine but the BIOS only has a USB HD option. Since the thumbstick is sort of one of those, I tried it. It did not boot from it. I then burned the 8gig thumbstick to an 8G DVD, thinking that might be a good way to get it to boot: no luck (does not boot computer). I compared the two (disk and thumbdrive) and they look the same to me in my Wind PC Hackintosh... any suggestoins? Thanks.
