Hold on, are you trying to boot SL or Leopard?
If its Snow Leopard, you need a different set ok kexts! Did you follow my "quick" SL tutorial a few pages back? |
It's Snow Leopard
I followed your Helicopter guide from page 12, already have working 10.5.7 install |
Gurruwiwi,
I think you would have started creating a step by step guide w/ pictures for newbies like me. Eagerly waiting for it..........!!!!! sl_mac |
I started doing it already... should be up soon (not today though....)

how to do it with 9600m gs?
hi Gurruwiwi
i'm new, so i don't understand your step of install the graphic card. my card is geforce 9600m gs, can you explain step by step how to get the string and then replace it in com.apple.boot.plist? my book is acer 4930G, now i can't get QE. thanks very much |
Hang in there, I'm working on it. But I am very little time unfortunately. Will be up soon enough

Help needed!
Hi there - apols - I'm a relative newbie to this sort of thing so I'm a bit confused. I've followed the guide to the letter (quality stuff by the way!) I then went and installed Windows 7 afterwards. The installation went fine, without any hiccups. I then did the whole diskpart bit. I was then able to boot into Chameleon but can't for the life of me a) find the boot.ini files in Leopard - where exactly do I have to look? I'm a complete newbie so this bit confused me.
b) if I can find the files how exactly do I 'copy the boot.ini files into the root of Windows 7. This confuses me basically because I don't know where to locate the root for either system. Also I did a search for the boot.ini files on OS X (including logging in as root and showing hidden files) but couldn't seem to locate them. Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated!!! |
Thats a bit of wrong info right there. I'm extremely sorry for that, I sometimes write-up after doing stuff so I don't forget how, and I must have been really tired... that is not a step to do!
Chameleon boot Windows fine! Just have to activate OSX so Chameleon takes boot priority, and you can then choose the other partition (Win7) and it should boot fine. The thing is, I had installed Chameleon onto WIndows partition so I double freaked Chameleon or something. That was how I managed to untie the "double knot" actually. Sorry about that, off to fix 1st post! Just select Windows and off you go! But, boot.ini is created by Chameleon (along with Extra Folder) onto the root of the drive you choose it to boot from (like Leopard or Snow). It is hidden so you cannot see it, there are terminal command to show hidden files, or a little script app someone wrote that is in the files I uploaded. Off to work on the tutorial, school has started so I'll try to post it soon! |
Excuse me, was it here that someone asked for an easy Snow Leopard tutorial?

Hi mates .... finally I got it!!!! :-)
I couldnt install SL because ... I used a F#(&$g WESTERN DIGITAL HD!!!! I readed about it on the Gurruwiwi guide and I forgot it, so I tried many times in several ways to install SN and nothing ... I had to chnage my Hd with a seagate one and everything was fine !!!! I have only 1 little problem ... I can see the battery indicator on the top bar ... anybody knows how to resolve this? |
HI, I‘m from china，and i am intrested in MAC OS,my notbook is 6930 842, I followed your steps and it worked, but the only trouble is that i put a 4311 wifi card into my notebook and the original 5100 AGN is still in the solt 1, and after i install the 10.5.7, i found that the 4311 doesn't work, in about this mac, the native airport solt is nothing,no device infomation on it. i don't know how to slove it, could you give me a help?
thank you!!! hope to hear you soon.:D |
Mascal,
All right man! would you please move your post to the SL tutorial? it will make others confident if they hear about success stories, even if was only the WD tip that saved the day ! I'm very glad to hear about it, do talk about how you did it, if we compare info we can refine stuff! ferrariturbo, I think some people are having that problem with your model and iAtkos kexts. Someone fixed it I think by using iDeneb instead, so I would suggest to first try to get iDeneb's kexts and substitute them, and if that doesn't work, a fresh install of iDeneb will do the trick. Can't you remove the 5100 and put in the broadcom? |
I'm still new, so please help me out.
I have HP dv2860ee, almost the same specs, but I have nVidia 8400M GS. It all went ok, it loads, I pass the grey screen with the apple logo and the circle, but then it stops, nothing appears .. just a black screen! Any help please ? |
Hi Worgen.
You must interrupt the Chameleon countdown pressing any key, then type "'-v". This removes the apple logo and shows the boot process. When it stalls, you should be able to see what is causing Kernel Panic (KP). Take a picture and post. What install method did you use? You symptom seems to be related to NVRESMAN.kext. Before trying anything else, try removing this kext from S/L/E and repair permissions. You should be able to boot, but graphics will not have resolution management. |
Gurruwiwi, I finally got my 1490 wlan card I ordered from Ebay :)
So today or tomorrow I'm going to try installing leopard first as we've got no other macs here and then i'll try installing SL. I'll keep you posted when I got it too work :) |
Quote:
There's also a glitch in the graphics, espicially in scrolling menus :-/ but, I can live with it :D |

Lock and looooooad ! :cool: |
Gurruwiwi, I've installed Leopard ( I prefer to wait with SL till I can convert one of my other pc's to leopard too as I need a spare to install SL. ;)
With Leopard it is working fine! :) Got full QE/CI, audio works, wifi works ( with the 1490 :cool: ). But I still got a problem with the SD kext I think it is. Could be because I used kext helper instead of OSXtools :p But I had to reinstall, now made a copy with carbon copy onto my external drive :) Neec to try tonight if it works with osxtools as I've found them now ( osx86tools ). Keep you posted ;) But I have another question too. I'm on a dutch macOSX forum too, Is it alright if I put your guide there and in my own language ( Dutch ). I'll post credits to your post ;) |
Guys please, isn't there any solution for my wireless to work?
I use Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Integrated Wireless LAN isn't there any kext or something to make it work on iATKOS v7 (10.5.7)? |
http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/
Try those :) I don't know how they work or how to are to be installed. ( I'm a hardcore linux man but have just started with macosx :p) maybe Gurruwiwi can tell you more :) On the mousepad of the 6935 is it in any way possible to get the tapping on the mousepad working ? I use this alot and now I need to use the buttons, gets confusing sometimes :p |
Thanks alot, I'll give it a try :)
EDIT: I downloaded it, installed it, but it just didn't work, I got nsGUI & network selector at applications, when I click at the 1st, it doesn't show anything, when I click the second it runs the terminal, but nothing happens! EDIT2: When I click the networkSelector, it says "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2" I read the notes at the installation page, someone said to uninstall and install again, but I don't know how to uninstall yet, I'm still a noob in Mac. |

Installing kext in Leopard to S/L/E is really easy. Just drop it in, run Disk Utilities and repair permissions. Thats it. In SL you have to ALWAYS rebuild caches and repair perms. I also spent some time looking for better trackpad support, but gave up. Too much of a hassle and didnt work properly. In SL i have 2 finger scroll in all directions, but no tapping. I dont really like tapping, except in the new Mac's which is actually a button. I always copy stuff around accidentally, I hate it :) But in new Macs you actually have to press inwards which is cool. |

Do like jimmy, myself and many many others, buy a broadcom 1490 for native support, it is really cheap |

It can't read my flash, my external HD, nor my mouse, in case I plug them when the OS is running. But when I plug my mouse for example before I boot, it recognizes it and it works, but even if I unplug it after Mac runs then plug it again it doesn't work! Any clue what's causing this? |
Worgen,
Sorry, but I have no idea. This thread is specifically orientated for Acer 6935g laptops. I do remember hearing about legacy USB kexts, maybe that will do the trick. Searching for user with your model greatly improves your chances of fixing the problems. |
Quote:
I have Leopard running now so the beginnings I can do with Leopard but when it's time to install SL that's it for me :) Or can I run this though vmware? I have a lot of experience with vmware so I think I could manage. And I need a restatement of what works and what doesn't in SL. ( Mic not working fine never use it anyway but things as audio, full QE/CI on vidcard, mediabay etc are vital to me. ) |
I think there is already a "live" installer distro around, but I would wait a little longer for a ideneb or iatkos distro. 10.6.2 is around the corner with lots of core updates, so that will certainly make a lot of people nervous about updating. They should be poping up soon enough. Otherwise, I dont recommend you doing it until you're more acquainted with how the system is built up. In your case, that will really be quick as OSx is based in Darwin, which is younger cousin to linux.
I hope soon I'll have some time to update the SL tutorial with some new stuff. But basically been running SL rock solid for 3 - 4 weeks. No mic in, no vga out, but 2 finger scroll makes up for that, its awsome. Will be attempting to fix the finer details in the following months. Am in no hurry as I want to do it right, but some stuff shouldn't be that troublesome. No sleep (dont use it anyway), e-sata working perfect, ethernet too, webcam, bluetooth, usb's. Haven't tested HDMI, it should be working as it shows up in system profiler (external monitor, but since vga doesnt work, must be HDMI). Oh yeah, full QE/CI, haven't benchamarkd yet but played a couple of hours of Toca 3 last night, all high, ultra smooth. Haven't bothered with SD cards, rarely use them. Had some issues with some kexts so I just gave that up. My mbox2 work really well, so if you need audio in until you patch dsdt or new voodooHDA, you get a cheap compatible usb audio card. Many around. Did I leave anything out? Jimmy, you said you are linux ninja? That is great because with proper DSDT patching, it makes basically any hardware fully supported with "vanilla" systems, including sleep or bonjour or any other detail. And from the little I know about it, if you create an EFI partition containing Chameleon in it, you achieve a 100% software update proof Mac clone! That means popping in a retail DVD anytime in the future with no extra tweaking! I am halfway down the dsdt lane, but my linux skills pull me down. If you'd like to take on a slowly paced hobby, in a very short time we can make a method to make our laptops perfect clones. What do you think? :D |
Not that I know off. Does the normal audio work ? Like I said don't use mic.
Almost never use the VGA out and if I need it I'll switch to Windows 7 for that :) Maybe I'll try with vmware anyway :rolleyes: Just to see how far I can come. :) |
I'll just post twice what do I care :p
Gurruwiwi, do you have some IM address? ( like msn, icq, aim, google talk etc ) would be much more convenient to talk that way about it. I didn't say I am a linux ninja butI'm quite experienced with it. :rolleyes: I'll need some time to look up the dsdt story and how to fabric it. As linux and mac got a lot of things that are the same but also a lot which are not. But I think it's a great idea! |
Oh yeah, audio works great!
Dsdt is actually quite simple. Its the Terminal/console parts and hex editing, compiling and decompiling, that gets in the way. Dsdt, mediator between OS and BIOS, is generated with "errors" (as seen by OSx), that have to be manually fixed. Say audio, got it working perfect, mic in (internal and external), 5.1 spdif etc etc by patching in the proper values for OSx... but that was still in the phase where I still had install stability issues and gave me a headache like you wouldn't believe... (but now I know what I did wrong). Our gfx card is supposed to be easily patchable too. Dsdt is generated by an automated patcher (by fassl is the most used, automated in iAktos installer) and should create "dsdt.dsl" in the root of your drive. You have to decompile it to "dsdt.aml", fix t, recompile and that's it. Once you fix everything, if you want you can even flash the bios to contain the new table and actually create a clone, but I will certainly skip that part !! Basically, its the finding the right information about hardware, and having Terminal skills. I'll PM you |
Hi all. This's my first post here at infinitemac, but i'm not 100% n00b for x86OSX ;) I have played with many versins, ditrubutions, sometimes with success, sometime not etc.
The question, i have this hp probook 4710s laptop with this configuration: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T5870 (2.00 GHz , 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB) 2 x 2048 MB DDR2 800MHz RAM 500 GB, SATA 7200 rpm Mobile™ Intel® PM45 Express Chipset Broadcom 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth® 2.0, Marvell Ethernet (10/100/1000 NIC) 1 ExpressCard/34 slot, Media Card Reader, 4 USB 2.0 ports, VGA, stereo microphone in, stereo headphone/line out, HDMI ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4330, 512 MB dedicated video memory (1024 MB HyperMemory) and 17.3" LED HD+ Anti-Glare (1600 x 900 resolution) + integrated 2 MP webcam Now I want to install iatkos v7 + win xp or win 7 (machine have some f*ckin linux distribution). I know that this thread is for acer, but does everything will work, like wifi/lan/ graphic card sound etc because just few threads for hp laptops :( |
What kind/type of broadcom does the laptop has?
I think you can get most of it too work. But I think my friend Gurruwiwi can answer that question better then I. :) |
Hi borce-razor,
We, the hackintosh community, have reached a stage where anything is possible (still trying to digest how f*cking AWESOME SL runs on my new Dell Mini 9 - unbelievable! ) that being said, you will certainly have a perfectly functional laptop running SL. You will always have some quirks at first, say... no internal "mic in" or... no sleep.. first boot with crappy gfx.. these three are quite common. But everything is fixable nowawdays, some tweaking is a real pain and quite scary if you've never done it before. Nothing is HW dangerous, but take this with a big grain of salt... But being on a laptop you are safe (talking mainly about desktop speedstep issues where overheating might occur, or if you loose your mind and decide to flash your BIOS to mimic a Macbook) Do no be scared to try, do NOT have love for any Data you did not backup! I am have zero ATI knowledge, nvidia alone keeps me too busy to follow. But lately, as of 10.5.7, the only ATI's I've read not to work are from people who did not yet understand how to properly "wake it up". I do not know of any particular model which is more or less troublesome... you might not have hdmi out, or vga out... but all things are fixable to the degree of your computer skill nerdiness. Intel wireless (amog few other HW here and there) is absolutely NOT going to work (except the ood model which works more or less) - Havind a broadcom is brilliant, especially if its the 1390 or 1490 model. There are loads of Broadcom kexts (drivers), and thant to the Dell Mini family, you will certainly, eventually, wake it up, if not right out of the box! In any case, being pci-e, will cost 15-20 + a scredriver and 2 minutes of your time to get native airport support. I would suggest you buy a blank drive to experiment on, anything goes wrong, just re-format and restart, at the end of the day it did not work, pop in your current HD an keep surfing, of keep you legal Windows or favourite game whatever... I play GTA 4 off e-sata on Vista 32 :cool: DO NOT try to dual boot at first. Learn the procedure, be sure to install proper, test run the system for a week, dont go all download crazy at first, clone your drive with Carbon Copy Cloner (amazing app and free) to a backup so anything goes wrong, just restore back. Work perfect, unlike Windows. THEN you try dual booting! Avoid Western Digital hard drives as MANY models do not work, this is official Apple issue, the website has the listed models, I had problems, mormegil had problems, but one dude over at my SL thread had issues but got it working... I'd REALLY avoid it! Also, go for Snow!! not "old" Leo :D - much better. DO IT !! :-d |
Thaks so much for this bigggg explanation.

Problems with the mouse
Hi.
Thanks for tutorial. I have a problem with the drivers, can you help me? i' ve installed the OS into a USB HD (is a bit slow but its only for try it before install in my 6395g HDD) I've noty installed your kext because the OS recognize automaticaly my Nvidia card and the resolution, all is fine, but i have a problem with the mousepad. I've selected Apple PS/2 driver, like you, but my mousepad doesn't work. Im reading how to fix it in internet but i didnt find it. Now i have runed the iaptkos dvd and unselect all and install woodoo PS/2 drivers, but IT DIDN'T WORK!! What can i do?? An external usb mouse works fine =S Edit: That is a BIG problem, the touchpad didn't work in windows!! =S Why?? If i have installed the OS X in an external USB HDD PLEASE!!! HELP!!! EDIT 2: I've fixed the problem, i dont know how, but now my problem is the keyboard =S He works, but when y press something the keyboard automatically press the End key, that key is always pressed. I want to uninstall the Woodoo PS/2 driver, how can i uninstall it? |
OSX + Vista working on Acer laptop
Hi! I'm just curious as to how you got your Mbox 2 working under the OSX. Did you need to install any drivers?
My issue is my Mbox appears dead (no lights) but I can see that OSX can see it in the System profiler (shows me what version firmware is installed which is pretty neat). However, when I installed Pro Tools 8 (just bought the upgrade), it can't see the Mbox. I should mention I'm running an Acer Aspire 5920G dual core Intel(R) Core(TM) T5450 which is on the Not Supported list for Windows laptops — Pro Tools LE 8.0 USB Systems. I was hoping that this Mac OS would trick my Mbox into thinking it could work now. I was thinking maybe I should upgrade my BIOS? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers! |
Wow! Really ? Usb incompatible? what a bummer! If it were FW, ok I would understand, but why USB?
With Protools you automatically install Core Audio, so it should wake up the box, even without launching the program. Do you have expresscard? You could always make a new USB bus, that might do the trick, but seems a bit far fetched. Try booting with the box connected |
Well,
Just went over to didgesign website to check the compatibility list. It says "All Acer dual core laptops are not compatible" Mine work flawlessly! Even the other day I had a 30+ track project I had to do rework on, with PT8, not even a hick-up ! So maybe they were just lazy and said "f*ck Acer, they're crap, have ten million models, so lets just blacklist the whole line to be on the safe side" That is what it seems to me, ´cos I've got one and it works! And I'll say it again, I HATE acer in general, but the Gemstone series (or G series at the end of the number) are absolutely fabulous for high end usage. eSata, USB, expresscard (dual fw800 working perfect!), gfx performace... it is absolutely AMAZING, so if this ever get out, Digidesign, you guys are a bunch of lazy wankers that exploit the audio comjunity, and pretty soon you will perish in the deep pits of hell, along with all Windows developers. I have spoken. :cool: |
hey, first off brilliant guide i followed it all the way it is one of the best guides i have seen. i would like to credit you:) there is just one small thing with the ds card slot and the ethernet, i have installed the sd driver threw osxtools and everytime it keeps saying all my cards are "uknown vender" but that i am not to botherd about i have t flash readers and more reliable usb to sd adaptors:). the main prob i am having is the ethernet driver, i cant install it it is not highlighted in osx tools so i cant click on it if anyone knows any other methord of installing it, please would you mind helping me:). thanks in advance
sxcevo!. |
Thanks sxcevo! But why not try my Snow Leo tutorial? Snow is just .. WOW !! :D
You need to know what ethernet you have to find the right kext. Also, put up your PC specs for reference please Download latest OSx Tools from here http://pcwizcomputer.com/index.php?I...tent&task=view Then click "View PCI Device / Vendor ID" It may ask you to install lspci, click ok. It should read out your ethernet vendor and ID, post it here! Then we can try to find a proper kext for it, if not, we can try with strings. Have you used string injection in your install? cheers! |
guys please i need your help
i have a big problem
i have acer 6935g-644G32Bn i have install iatkos 10.5.7 with the check on customize of the first post(i really thanks for the guide :D:D:D) but when i try to open the laptop im getting black screen i have remove nvdaresman.kext and its open fine but only 1024x768 please someone help :/ |

Heya!
My First post here, so Hello to All, I'm mainly a windows user, i hate mac! but took a step back and decided to try it on a Computer rather then Apple Hardware, I myself have a 6935G But having some slight issues. my laptop spec as follows: Intel C2D P7350 2.0Ghz 4GB DDR3 1066Mhz 320GB HDD nVidia 9600GT 512mb DDR3 (Overclocked) I installed it without a hitch installed the provided kexts, ethernet works, sound works (to a degree) not sure about the SD since i dont really use it all that much, but my problem is getting the multimedia touch pad to work, the only function that works is the "Mute" is there any way i can get the volume touch slider to work aswell? as that would be uber cool. I read that your making a guide to get the audio to work correctly, so i'l wait until then :D Would love to install SL but dont have the resources to do so! although i did get the SL DVD, -Callum! P.S I hope you all had a Good Christmas, and i wish you all a Happy New Year! |
Here's How to get the trackpad to work with full functionality, including the scrolling section of the pad and double tap click's, Gestures etc,
1. ApplePS2 (Download Here) http://www.infinitemac.com/../../ima...or/menupop.gif 2. Install the Kext's ApplePS2Controller.kext and AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext using OSx Tools or Kext Helper, Alternatively they can be loaded in /Extra/Extensions. 3. Synaptics Trackpad.prefPane needs to be installed (double click prefPane; it will get installed in System Preferences under "Other") 4. com.meklort.ps2.helper.plist needs to be placed in /Library/LaunchAgents to save your Trackpad settings after reboot. 5. Under System Preferences Launch up the TrackPad panel and then customize your trackpad preferences to your liking :D Regards Callum |
TechMeh !!
Well done good man! So soon, great contribution with the trackpad ! I am now soley on a Dell mini 10v running SL 10.6.2 with astonishing performance and not a single non-working issue. sleep, internal mic yadda yadda yadda. SL is lightyears faster, smoother, better, rock solid... I see no reason why you dont have the resources for it! Just need a USB drive to boot, the files, and off you go! distro Leopard is harder to install than retail SL! My tutorial looks bigger and tougher, but it is not ! Only quirk is audio, easy to fix with knowledge, time and patience. Or wait for new voodooHDA and stuff. My multimedia works perfect! calls up Front Row and even controls it ! just be double sure to use latest Chameleon and ICH9 kexts on install (leopard). Sometimes, I've read when investigating my HW and BIOS updates, even in Windoze, it freezes. you have to unplug the AC, remove the battery for 5 minutes, and boot up. Its a know 6935G bug that even the latest BIOS update doesnt seem to fix. But, I only flashed to fix the wrong system bus frequency usage (I think it locked at 800 not 1066) The thing that REALLY annoys me is that this PC is incredibly potent for its class, but VT technology is purposedly disabled in BIOS by ACER, not manufacturer, and BIOS updates do NOT address this. This does not permit you to virtualize in 64bit, which is a load of CRAP ! I was SO looking forward to use this, one of the main reasons I'm abandoning this laptop. I know there is a workaround, but I am in no way reverse engineering the BIOS code like some tutorials around... anyways, bla bla bla.... sorry :D |
:)
The touch pad worked all along, it just doesnt work using your finger to slider up and down :D Shame about the VT being disabled, i might look into it and see if i can come up with something,. although i dont think the processor i am using (P7350) is supported.. Ile also look into SL, but i dont have a big enough memory stick, but i read another guide saying i needed to use a diffrent machine that has leopard already installed, and it also seemed time consuming for what it was... but shall read your guide more in depth. Just need to work on the sound in my 6935G since the subwoofer is not functional so the sound really is tiny. Regards |
i have a 9630g too with snow leopard and a atheros9281. i have read that ist supported but it doesn´t work. I think that sl doesn,t recognize the pcie port.
