Hi guys my first post here. Great, really helpful forum. I have a question: I want to instal Snow but I was wondering if anyone knows how to get working line in audio input? Is it possible at all on this board?

@justluke Mouse came with a usb dongle right? :)

lancelotu, again you prove you are a genius! Thank you, that worked! :D

@ placebo81 It did not, sadly. I purchased a Kensington Micro USB Bluetooth adapter and have been using that. I have since ordered a number of these devices from eBay for a quarter of what I paid for this one device at a retail store, but hey what can ya do.

Once you get the software update downloaded your machine will need to restart and after that you are golden.

FYI once more, after getting the mouse friday night, and using it a standard weekend amount, the battery still reports 100% charge.

I did see that. It was why I bought the card. Well that and Newegg had a $30 rebate from MSI.

I'm working through issues with the install. Do you know if I have to generate a new DSDT when I install new hardware like a graphics card? I'm having issues with the install not allowing a boot and I'm not sure if it's the DSDT or the beta PC EFI that netkas released. Thread HERE.

On my other to do lists I did move my boot and /Extras to an EFI partition with no issues.

I attempted to edit my DSDT for the sleep fix but am getting errors on compile I have to work through even though the edits match the guide and also Omagoa's posted dsdt.

If I get through all of that I have yet to implement the Speedstep dsdt edits.

Maybe then I can relax until the release of 10.7.

I did it. I have some problems but first to say ThaNK YoU guys for this AmaZinG stuff. OG-Phantom man I could kiss you, I just used your dsdt and ad1988bfix.kext from page 4 and my frackin line-in works. I've been playing with amplitube for last two hours, couldnt put my guitar down. Works great, better than asio4all that i have to use in windows. Man Im so happy.

OK I calmed down

Now the bad part. :) I can only boot with -x64 -v -f if I left "-f" it hangs
ACPI_SMC_Platformpluginn: : registerLPCdriver - warning device initialization failed: c-power management not initialized
and it stops there.

Also when i type -x64 -v -f and it actually manages to start it takes some time from chameleon screen to OS. Messages about sound driver fail that go something like this "sound assertion "0 ==pathmap driver instance failed at line 172...." fill about two full screens just before it starts SL.
But when it starts it works great. Sound works, Corel Paiter 11 works. Updated 10.6.1 no problems but i must have i really messed something.

Heres what I did:
Instaled chameleon 2 rc3 package on snow partition.
Instaled SL.
added OG-Phantom dsdt to SL root. Added ad1988b.fix from the same package, fakesmc, sleepenabler and openhaltrestart from kexts 64 bit folder

terminal:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

restart -x64 -v -f

Thanks again ppl.

OK I kinnda solved it
Long boot was due to waiting for dsmos
After repairing permisions it's gone.
Updated to 10.6.2 . Added netkas fakesmc v2
Now it boots 17s and that is still at least 3 times longer than 10.5.7
it says
Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
than after about 5sec HD activity
systemshutdown false
also last message is kernel FakeSMC: key info not found TCBH, length – 1
can U help me with that?

Apart from boot time everything works great as far as I can tell

waiting for root
 

Hi all, first off thanks for the detailed write up!

I've been going thru the forums trying to install SL. I currently have 10.5.7 running. I've tried installing SL about 8 times now, but keep getting "waiting for root" during boot.

I've tried swapping out the ioatafamily (i think that's the name) kext but still nothing. A screenshot is attached. Any help would be great!

Thanks

After several try 's, i could install SL on my P5K deluxe. With MyHack INstaller
Then starting with DSDT, and now it works kinda OK (i guess)

It seems to boot a lot faster then without DSDT.aml file.
but when i create a DSDT.
i have several errors, i can 't seem to fix.

Could anyone help me out here

Did you use also the

/Extra/Extensions/AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext
Won 't boot without that if your in IDE.

Ive used MyHack installer, and worked from the first time here
http://osx86.sojugarden.com/installer/
Give it a shot, and keep us informed

oops...it seems I forgot to set AHCI in bios. it boots up yay. then I spent an hour trying to get my dual vid cards to work. they're working now, but no quartz or anything and if I try to play video it's all laggy. I'm thinking maybe it's something in my dsdt that needs to be updated? I'm running a 8600 and 8800.

any help would be appreciated! I think just this one thing before SL is stable enough to use full time. =]
