Just wanted to report that the voodooHDA.kext worked perfectly for my sound and the apple usb ethernet adapter also worked ( despite it being specifically for the macbook air). I did have to go into the network tab to initialize it as for some reason as it wouldn't work right out of the box. I've been up and running for the past few days and have been enjoying plex from my couch. I've been using the iphone app 'Snatch' to control everything and it works fantastic, albeit a tad buggy/laggy. Certainly easier than figuring out how to frankenstein a macbook pro IR receiver into the motherboard. Thanks Again!

i also would like to know "what" is modded in that BIOS to accomplish the task of booting snow leopard, couse if the only thing it does is modifying the ACPI components, i think that this stuff can be accomplished by creating an ad-hoc DSDT.aml file to throw to chameleon. EDIT: Big news :) i managed to boot into the installer with an unmodded BIOS \o/ now i have some more work to do but when i'll have a working installation i'll probably post all the procedures and files used :) |
Ok.
i managed to install OSX Snow Leopard on a MSI P35 platinum with the official BIOS, completely relaying on a DSDT.aml file. it works perfectly except for audio and VGA detection, but i'm working on it :) |
djnitehawk, I have used the ev0sxpatcher (DSDTSE). I like the interface and I also like the number of hacks that are in the menu.
The issue I have are: SOme are FULL BLOWN script hacks and I have no idea where they go into your main DSDT.dsl file. Secondly some of those hacks somehow get inserted by DSDTSE even if you don't choose any of the first three. The main ones, RTC, HPET and DTGP. And sometimes they still need tweaking for your particular motherboard. How does one know basically where in the main DSDT.dsl script those hacks go? My Mainboard is an ASUS maximus Formula Special Edition the same as the MF. Dismounted has a guide for this motherboard and a DSDT for it which I had to re run since my memory and processor was different. That over at Insanelymac. I am also confused on which is the best method to extract the DSDT? Linux Live CD Cat command in a terminal window? Windows XP using Kaolala patcher or just OSX with a few options, fassl, gui version of fassl, DSDTSE etc etc etc. I have read at the chameleon site that in OSX that runs chameleon and running a DSDT already may not be a good idea to extract your DSDT from that? Not sure why or what the difference is from Windows XP extractor or Linux. We need a really good guide on what is important to fix and where in the script and what not to do as I mentioned above. Thanks |
first of all... what actual issue's are you trying to fix with dsdt patching?
ive only needed the uhci/ehci usb buitin patch to get my sleep working... people who do not have programming experience will not be able to easily use the dsdt hacks... they would be better off getting someone else to do it for them... dsdtse does not apply any patches automatically... it is just a database of hacks and compiler/decompiler tools builtin so that people can do dsdt patching manually without the help of any other tools... if ur mobo does not suffer from the cmos reset problem, simply generating a dsdt.aml with fassl's patcher would be sufficient to get ur snow leo up and running... u only need to do dsdt manual patching if ur system suffer from issues such as: sleep/wake + cmos reset, etc... if u attach a dsdt.aml from ur system and tell me which issues u have/ fixes u need... i could try to apply them manually and send u a fixed dsdt.aml (when i get some free time)... |
Need help installing SL on compaq presario C700
Hi all,
I have kalyway 5.3 running flawlessly on this laptop. But I have run practically every guide out thiere including this one by djnitehawk and I still get a hanging issue or kernel panic cpu not recognised etc when trying to load S leopard. Interestingly, it does the same on my wife's maching which is a core 2 duo with nvdia 8800GT. Is there something I am doing wrong? am I mounting the snow leopard .dmg file propperly in disk ut? I followed the instructions by djnithawk and no errors came up in the patching process or anything--its just that it goes into the chameleon loader for a bit and hangs on "system uptime in nanoseconds 12238312821" or whatever.....some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Simon |

Hi mate,
Thanks for your speedy reply. Ok, it appears these lappies have a rather basic bios. Sata option 'on' or 'off' no ahci or hpet. But I have attached the boot error pic and DPCI system info your requested. If you can get it working for me I am happy to contribute something to your cause. As I mentioned. Kalyway 5.2 disk and update with vanilla kernel works wonderfully on this little lapptop. OSX performance kills vista u or Win 7 RC 32 Thanks in advance -Simon |
