Then i am not sure quite what happened. I would suggest if its possible that some more clarification could go into this part of the guide... everything else is great. I had difficulty locating the example files for comparison and also on the editing everything was going fine till i tried to find the file Azalia.... i could not locate.
Result:
I have a self booting Snow Leopard with the following problems that i am trying to sort... any help would be great.
No Sound
No Ethernet
Dont think sleep is working either
DVD will read data, music and copy files etc... however will not play DVD movies.
At start up i also get following errors:
Post error occurs.... it gives me options of last boots. If i do nothing it defaults to the last good boot and its fine.
Then i get an icon of Snow Leopard disk with message.... press any key to choose start up ... if i do nothing it starts automatically and is fine.
Sometimes the CPU speed shows at 2.4 and sometimes 2.8. It is a 2.8 CPU.
Despite all this i have managed to load Photoshop CS3 and it works. The system once up and running appears stable.
So any suggestions would be great....... is it possible to tweak this to get everything working or best to try a clean reinstall.

I have almost identical system with yours, other than the Video Card. I am experiencing the same issues as you. I was able to get a USB wireless card to work, but still no sound. Have reinstalled many times and also tried replacing the legacyalc883 kext, but with no avail. I just finished an install via Empire EFI and retail 10.6 disk, and if i manage to get it working ill post again. I have a Version 2 board btw
-Edit: Audio worked out of the box with this setup.
1. Download and burn Empire Efi on a cd
2. Buy/download(burn) 10.6 on a DVD
3. Start computer, Enter Bios: Change
a. disable onboard Nic
b. Enable Azalia
c. Sata : Enhanced
d. priority boot : 1 cdroom (for the efi) 2. hard drive
e. Save and exit bios.
4. put in the Empire Efi CD on the drive
5. after it loads, replace the empire efi cd with the SL 10.6 disk
6. Press f5, let instalation continue
7. after instalation, let the pc reboot, change the disk again, puting in the EFI disk
8. Download and install the latest version of myhack, RC5 r87 (dont forget to be nice to Conti)
9. Install myhack, and i simply changed the com.apple.boot.plist to reflect your resolution
10. restart computer, Audio worked right away. Under extensions, voodooHDA.kext is listed. It was the last option on the install of myhack software.
-Still to do:
1. Done! gonna try to install the USB wireless card again : Edit- Wireless card is Azio Model No. AWU254. Although supposedly unsuported for 10.6, using the 10.5 .dmg file from their site it works after install and fix permission via terminal ->type 'sudo' and drag/drop pfix.
2. DONE! Gonna try to update to 10.6.2 : Edit- after the install is completed, it boots into 10.6.2, but audio and wireless was not working. Changed permission via terminal ->type 'sudo' and drag/drop pfix and it worked fine..
