Underwear Gnomes.... ;-)

Anyway, here is a 64bit Jmicron kext that might fix your issues.

Awesome thanks! - It's been so long since I've seen that episode, completely forgot about it.

Hello !

At first, thanks for your great guide !
I managed to make SL running on my 2,5" External HDD !
Sound, Graphics, W-Lan-LAN, All Cores ... all works !
Now i tried the same steps with my internal 3,5" S-ata drive,
i boots (bootloader works...) and then no sound from the HDD ?!
After a Few Seconds the grey Circle with the Cross appears....
Can anybody help me ?! I tried a few things, but nothing helps :(

My Hardware:

Intel Q6600
Asus P5K Green
2x1GB OCZ 800mhz Ram
250GB Seagate S-ATA HDD (10.5.8)
250GB Western Digital S-ATA HDD (for 10.6.0)
DVD-Rom Drive (S-ATA)
Working 10.5.8 to install on other HDD !

Okay I'll stop being sarcastic...

You have to do a verbose boot, so during the bootloader press the down button to select "verbose" and see at which line the systems hangs, because a grey screen with a cross makes no-one happy. You can also type -v.

But Maybe your lucky and I might already know what the problem is. Your sata harddisks in bios are not in AHCI mode? So set everything to AHCI, also the jmicron controllers. So no IDE and no RAID. or try to boot with -f.
If you don't have a ich9r chipset you might need to use a patched kext for harddisk or choose a different sata port on the motherboard.

in your dsdt replace Your pin config with this :

Code:

                            "PinConfigurations", 

                            Buffer (0x20)

                            {

                                /* 0000 */    0x30, 0x40, 0x21, 0x01, 0x10, 0x40, 0x11, 0x01, 

                                /* 0008 */    0x40, 0x90, 0xA1, 0x01, 0x50, 0x30, 0x81, 0x01, 

                                /* 0010 */    0x60, 0x10, 0x01, 0x01, 0x20, 0x90, 0xA1, 0x01, 

                                /* 0018 */    0xF0, 0x11, 0x45, 0x01, 0x70, 0x60, 0x01, 0x01

                            }

delete the voodooHDA.kext
and use the modified dsdt file + the AD1988b.fix.kext with the original AppleHda.kext
launch the "kext utility" to repair permission, delete cache and rebuild the mkext file

Well that didnt do it... same results. Thanks for the help tho. I feel like I'm so close. I thought i had it when i hear the start up static. Kind of sounds like when you empty the trash.

Not sure why AppleHDA.kext isnt loading in 64bit when it loads in 32bit....

Oh well, I'll keep searching. Thanks again

@walterav

sorry for my bad information !
i know what you mean....

now i get the 0000000000000002 code!

all BIOS Settings are ok and the same as you told me !
Leopard 10.5.8 works great with this BIOS Settings and the SL on the USB-Drive, too.

Please try a fresh re-install it can be done in only 15 minutes!
"Installation of the minimal OS takes 10 minutes, if you have all the patches in place you can do them in 5 minutes" PS only this fast if you start the installation from within an already running OSX

thank you !
hehe, after about 1000 installs i can do it blind ^^
I will do a new one and will post it here....

Here my Way:

1. Booting in working 10.5.8 on the first HDD (S-ATA)
2. Go into Disk Utility, and format the second HDD (S-ATA) als GUID (sry for german language...)

As seen here:

http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8786/85122464.jpg

3. Now open folder "pk5-e snow essentials" and doubleclick on "bootloader2.dmg".
New Window opened... then i installed "Chameleon_v1012.pkg" (and listen to nice musik :-)) ) on the partition "SL"

4. Opened the HDD "SL" in Finder and delete on the first page of the Partition the file named "boot".
Just drag and drop the boot file from the "bootloader2.dmg"-file wont work !
This Message appears: "The Object "boot" could not be replaced because its invisible"

i already can see this hidden file, because i have used "CF-A" from the "Change Finder"-Folder in "pk5-e snow essentials".

So i just delete the hidden file on "SL" and replace it with the "boot" from "bootloader2.dmg"-file.

5. I went to my 10A432 Folder and doubleclick on "snowleopard_10a432_userdvd.dmg".
6. Mainwindow appears
7. Hitting "cmd+shift+g" than the popdown-menu comes down...
8. Typing: /Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/ then press "open"
9. new window
10. Searching "OSInstall.mpkg" and double-click on it
11. Going trough the Menus, selecting "SL" HDD, choosing "Customize", with these settings:

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5869/installibe.jpg

12. Hitting "install" and "closed" at the end of the install - Just close the window and i do not reboot or done any other thing :)

13. Running DSDT Patcher with these settings:

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/604/patcherx.jpg

14. I Skipped installing Sound, i can do it when the System is working, right ?
But i know which kext i have to choosed, it works on my external Snow Leopard HDD: "AppleAzaliaAudio-1.kext"
Do i have to install the Sound here ?

15. Opend UInstaller and Installed with this setup:

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/136/uin.jpg

16. Next i copy these Files:

AD1988b.Fix.kext
AHCIPortInjector.kext
dsmos.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
JMicronATA.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext

from the "kexts 64 bit" - Folder to "SL/System/Library/Extensions

Typing in my Password and choosing "replace" in the little pop-up menu for this File:

-JMicronATA.kext
(normal that it is only one file ?!)

17. Go into Terminal and try to do it like in the guide at the first page !

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

i just copy and paste this two line... i guess it is wrong ?
I never worked with Terminal :-(

Sure, a lot of errors were displayed:

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5311/errorrvl.jpg

Whats my Mistake in Terminal ?
I also tried to "repair permissions" with disk utility on my 10.5.8 partition by choosing the "SL"-HDD.
I´m sure this is my mistake ?! But i get the same Error-Message when i type in the Command by myself !?

i was looking for some terminal-tipps....
I used as wrote above, the Disc Utility on my 10.5.8 and choose this one:

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/1637/du2j.jpg

Then closed all windows, reboot and i get the error as write a few posts earlier !

It would be great if you could help me and thanks for all !!

Okay, well if it took 1000 installs to boot with a verbose option, maybe it will take 1000 more to make it all work :D

Just make sure you write down every patch/kext/bootloader you put in there and what terminal commands you used "if any".

hehe, right ^^

in my last post are all the Steps i have done !
Can you see any Mistakes ?!
Any solution on my terminalproblem ?!
