so ppl if u do have the cmos reset problem, u will have to edit ur dsdt by hand... there are guides for that all over the place...

i highly recommend using DSDTSE from here for manual dsdt work:

oh ok thanks for the quick response.
you should intergrate how to edit the DSDT into your OP, so people know to do it.

and im sure someone knows C that can help in IRC/forums

oh and in my last post, i meant to say the extensions.mkext IS NOT mission critial. its only there as a time saving option

also is

Right-click on the target OS X HDD volume icon on your Desktop -> Get Info. If the checkbox next to "Ignore ownership on this volume" is checked then click on padlock symbol to authenticate and UNCHECK the checkbox.

Then to ensure that the target OS X HDD volume's root directory is owned by the root user, go to Terminal and type: (note that using 0:0 is equiavlent to using root:wheel)

CODE
sudo chown 0:0 /Volumes/"your target OS X HDD volume name"

This is to make certain that the permissions are not scrambled after the installation of OS X.....and hence that you are able to boot from the OS X 10.6 hard drive........

is that not needed?

is ur target disk ide? or sata?

if ide u have to find a kext that will detect ur ide drives... as far as i can remember there were some modified ide kexts floating around that worked with snow... have a look around for those...

if ur target disk is sata, make sure it is running in AHCI mode... set it in bios...

if ahci is already enabled... try lauching the disk utility from the installer menu... if ur target disk is visible there, then everything is fine... u are able to select it as target from my script...

i used to get those uuid error 35 back in 10.5 but i simply ignored those...

if that may be the cause of ur target disk dissapearing, u will have to use a kext called "platformuuid.kext" and add ur disk uuid to that, or something like that... please search the forum for that info... cos i personally havent dealt with that...

lemme knoe how u go...

UPDATE: looks like the uuid 35 error doesnt have anything to do with missing drives... its related to a missing firewire network interface according to this:

it is safe to ignore that... that is output by Fassl's dsdt patcher... its trying to clear the screen but it cant find the clear command on the install dvd... i cant fix that... but it doesnt do any harm... if you look more closely there will be one more error by the dsdt patcher that says something like "TAR command missing" and that is also not a problem...

chameleon never really appears any more. I no longer have the option of booting into my windows drive

aha... that is cos i've reduced the time that chameleon waits for your input from 5 secs to 1 sec... you can get chameleon to display a list of drives in either two ways...

1. edit the "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and increase the timeout value from 1 to whatever you want...

2. simply keep pressing the left and right arrow keys one after the other while ur machine boots, and chameleon will be interrupted and the list of drives will be displayed...

and my screen just floods w\ text before it automatically goes into SL.

again edit the boot plist file and remove the "-v" part from there to get rid of the verbose mode boot... you will have the grey apple screen with the spinning wheely thing...

ive included the -v cos that actually fixed my computer not waking up from sleep... but ur comp might not need that...

My graphics card still isn't being recognized

try using an EFI string from OSX86Tools... and get rid of the "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" part from the boot plist...

Quote:

My sound also isn't working.

as noted on the main post, sound, network, etc drivers dont work from /extra/extensions...

u gotta install them to /system/library/extensions...

remove them from /E/E

download kext utility... drag and drop voodoohda onto kext utility to install them to /S/L/E...

or move them manually and issue the permission repair commands as noted on the main post...

hello there, the script is running just fine THANK YOU MAN and keep up the good work. i have one question though: can i install on MBR? thanks

cheers

djnitehawk · #5 09-14-2009, 11:23 AM

welcome...

honestly man i dont know if it can be installed on mbr partitions, cos i havent tried it myself... u could experiment and let us all know maybe?

im not at home right now to check it...

flip360 · #6 09-14-2009, 01:53 PM

i have replaced the OSInstall.mpkg on my USB snow install, but i cannot install on MBR disk yet

i will install it on GUID anyway but it would be nice if the script could make MBR install available for people with one HDD and two partitions (windows is one of them)

Cheers

Hi,

any suggestions to "Systemuptime in Nanoseconds=206663406631" system hanging while booting - just before there was a kernelpanic with HPETs not found?

thx

if there was an error "hpet not found" have u tried enabling hpet in bios?

if hpet not found in bios, try following:

boot with "ForceHPET=Yes"

if still no luck, add nullcpupowermanagement...

if still no luck, try looking at a guide specific to your motherboard...

use the forum search...
