Um, by the way, what is an EFI? What does it do and how can I install it?

Thnx

EFI is like the Bios in a PC but on a Mac, Chameleon is a boot-loader for OSx86 that emulates the EFI so we can run the Vanilla Snow leopard without many modifications, it comes in the SnowOSX Universal Golden Master 3.4 ,so don't worry about downloading it just select it from the customize tab when you install , just make sure you select the most current one. Because you will need it to use the patched dsdt.aml file on a Toshiba laptop.:D


A patched dsdt.aml file is a MUST when installing on a Toshiba Satellite in order for everything to work correctly.:D

So, I am on Snow Leopard now. Internet (wired) works just fine (I installed realtek kexts) but Intel WiFi 5100 doesn't work :( Also the sound and the USBs doesn't work too :( What could you suggest me? :(

Ok. I try to get everything work step by step. I started with my the sound. I have an Realtek ALC268. I have found THIS. I tried to install it twice and every single time a kernel panic appeared and I had to reinstall OSX. So what should I do? :(

OK, I was wrong about the DSDT.aml, you dont need it ,I have found the USB fix, The ONLY thing I cant get working is WIFI but it does have a driver for it and it shows up in the USB tab in system profiler.

After extensive testing I got EVERYTHING except WIFI (for now) :)


Keep y'all posted!!!!

I am re-installing now , I am Using the GUID partion table and I formatted it as Mac OS Extended Journaled ( other formats gave me ALOT of problems), I also ZEROED the hard disk out just so I can have a nice clean fresh install of SL. :)

As for the USB problems I used the IOUSBFamily.kext package from the "iPC Install DVD 10.5.6" Then it worked just fine.

As for the sound use "VoodooHDA.kext" in you AT-tools/Drivers folder , ( Use kext Utility to install) for Intel sound card chip sets.

Did you use the "OSx86Tools" Utility to repair your extension permissions and use the "Touch Extensions Folder" option with the kext you found for you specific hardware?

Also check to see if the card has to different names there are sometimes more than one name or a different driver with a compatible chip-set.

If you need a Ethernet Driver let me know, And if you already have one where did you get it?

What LAN card does your system have?

My LAN car is Realtek 8101. I have downloaded kext of Realtek 8169 and installed it on Kext Helper. After a reboot etherent worked.

So I installed VoodooHDA.kext and guess what - sound works. A kind of :D and incidator on a Finder toolbar shows that sound is, however, I can't hear it neither on speakers nor on the headphones :(

No, I didn't try OSx86Tools. I'll try now :D

PS. Maybe you can download that IOUSBFamily.kext? Because I don't have 10.5.6 iPC :(
