Thanks for the update. I'm going to give it a shot in a bit. Just to double check, I should edit the com.apple.boot.plist in Extra and add this line in order to boot in 32-bit::
<key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-x32</string> Are there are any other places this flag should exist or is this all? |

if you look in "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" it should have something like: arch=x86 which should have given u a 32bit boot... but if that didnt work, try using this: arch=i386 alternatively, u can just temporarily use those flags at chameleon boot time: -x32 or arch=x86 or arch=i386 |

can u first go through ur bios setup and see if you can find anything related to HPET (high precision event timer) and enable that... if hpet cant be found on ur bios, try the following: at chameleon boot type this: ForceHPET=Yes and boot... if that doesnt solve it, try this: download this kext and put it on ur usb drive at "/Extra/Extensions" and try rebooting into the installer... post back what happens then........... PS: after enabling HPET in ur bios, u might have to re-run the script and do it over again so that the dsdtpatcher can properly produce a dsdt.aml with hpet support... not sure... |
work
with your help i can now boot.. TQ djnitehawk..
Now one problem remain.. i get "-CFGetHostUUIDString : Unable to determine UUID for host. Error : 35" i cant find the disk where im suppose to install SL. any workaround? |

take out the .mkext file. its causing a error and its a mission critical file. same thing happened to me. also, does your DSDT.aml have the cmos fix already in it? |
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: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=250.0 |

atm im trying to go through fassl's source code trying to learn C language and add the cmos reset fix myself... cos fassl seems to have retired from updating it... 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: http://www.osx86.es/?p=610 |

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

OK, so I just finished installing Snow Leopard again w\ the new version of your script. Everything seems to have gone smoothly. The installation actually completed this time instead of dying w\ 11 min. left like before. I did notice one error when running your script the 2nd time within the SL install.
'sh: clear: command not found' Everything else seemed normal. I'm able to boot into SL now w/o my thumb drive but chameleon never really appears any more. I no longer have the option of booting into my windows drive and my screen just floods w\ text before it automatically goes into SL. My graphics card still isn't being recognized although I noticed that it seemed to have detected my 'geforce 9800 gtx' somewhere within the text flood prior to the loading of the installation screen. My sound also isn't working. I have the .kext that is supposed to work for my board in the extra/extensions folder in the root of my SL drive. Is this all that is needed or am I supposed to move these extension files elsewhere. |
