... but I only got one. :mad: Tell you what, I'll trade you my smbios.kext for one of your stickers ...? .... Just uploaded a zip with 2 smbios.kext... one is applesmbios.kext, the other is applesmbios2.kext. I have no idea where this second one came from. Must have been one of those nights I stayed up late trying to figure it out, I find no logical explanation except it must have worked and went to sleep and forgot about it. First try the normal one, then the second one, and then, heck, like me, try both! Tell me how it goes |

EFI Studio is program to automatically find ethernet (or graphic, audio, etc) and show Leopard that it exists, and make it work. EFI Studio does not work 100% of the time. 1 - go here and download program. http://nguyenhai.wordpress.com/2009/...kintosh-tools/ 2 - Choose Ethernet from drop down menu 3 - Click add device 4 - Click "write to com.apple.Boot.plist" Reboot. Hope it work... should look something like this |

hey tnx u mate!!!!
I used both your kexts ... it didnt fix the processor speed but now my hackintosh is faster than before to do everything !!!! Look in the boot rom version in the picture I attached ... it seems to be moded for the Acer laptops !!! U did a good job in that night :D U deserved the sticker indeed!!!! |
Belissimo !!:D bravo, bravo !!
But check your RAM speed too. Anyway, great news. Can you check somehow if your CPU actually WORKS at the correct speed? There are many known cases where the About My Mac does not read correct, but the machine works correct. There are also tool to modify directly about my mac. heheh... you can make it read quad core extreme and stun your friends! hehe I think maybe OSXtools does this Also, for the sake of stability, try removing smbios number 2 and reboot (dont forget to repair permissions) - check if it reads coorect, then the opposite. There is no need for these 2 kexts, it could be both are conflicting. I dont have mine here right now, but sure as heck I will remove one too! Also, thanks for the kudos, but I assure you I did not do anything special other than read kilometers of threads and edit plist. No programming or hacking here - so I guess its the dsdt.aml actually doing something... Right.. but you dont use dsdt with ideneb...hmmm ... DSDT is really really confusing. I undesrtand what it is, but I dont understand who needs it and who doesnt. I seem to not need it. |
yes the CPu seems to work at its real speed.
This hackintosh is faster than my real iMac @ 2,133 in 3D renderings so I'm quite sure it's a case of wrong "about this Mac" reading. I'm still waiting for the postman ... I think that with this warm weather my snow leopard is melting away :-) |
Well, I'm glad to inform you that I am at this very moment typing from my fresh install of Snow :D:
Still from usb keyboard and mouse, no gfx, etc.. but stage one complete! build 10A432 roll n roll :p Going too reboot to test 64bit, then its back again to hunting kexts etc. Mascal, are you planning to attempt 64bit? or stick with 32? I haven't yet figured out which one to go. I mean, I know logically 64bit is the way to go, but all macbooks and many other iMac's etc are going to boot only 32bit. I know its basically not much difference since the way Snow is build, both 64bit and 32 kernels will run 64 and 32 apps either way... Anyway, getting ahead of myself, first see what happens on the other side, 64bit. Wish me luck... ooooff :-d :cool: |
WOW THAT WAS FAST !!!
64bit rockin#$%$#$% YEAH ! !!:D:D:D:p:p I think I'm going to cry now.... haha !! :D No really, even without verbose mode, I've never seen an OS boot so %&$ fast! Sorry for the fowl language, I'm stoked! Look at the time! from posting the last port, to posting this one, under 4 minutes! That is shutdown, reboot, boot in verbose mode, find internet, safari, manual login, find thread and post ! without an optimized OS ! No really, I think I'm going to cry now... :'( just under 4 minutes :p and that was the first 64bit boot! |
Report so far, looking good. But I might need to re-install, so far;
Graphics ok Keyboard and Mouse.... now with multitouch :p Bluetooth, Webcam Sata support and E-sata, but have to confirm speeds Wifi No audio. no ethernet, |
SL on a new Quad Core Acer AS8930-7665
Quote:
Hi, I have been silently watching this forum and curious to get SL running on Acer Aspire AS8930-7665. As you know, this has Intel Q9000 Quad Core. Please check the specs here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115542 I wanted to tell that I absolutely play no games and will only be using notebook for DV/HD video editing purposes. I was told Quad Core will give me ultra power during DV/HD video editing. Having said that, can I use your excellent guide for this Acer model? There are some differences: 1. The GPU is 9700M GT. 2. Does SL recognize that the CPU is indeed Quad Core? 3. Does SL support Full HD (1080p) - 1920 x 1080? 4. The newegg site doesn't say the max RAM allowed is 8GB. I hope it does. 5. What about audio? Does it fully work? 6. I also use Skype/Yahoo Messenger for video/audio chat, so the internal mic/webcam working is a must. 7. What about wireless card? Do I have to replace the one that came with it? I do have a Dell Wireless 1510 card and a Atheros b/g wirless card. Can I use these on this Acer model? Sorry to ask you too many questions. I'm a newbie and wanted to make sure I covered everything. Thanks. |
Well, I just now managed to get audio working perfect, except internal mic, but external mic works fine! Finally! If you dont want to use headphones, you just need to plug the mic and leave it about.
Also AHCI for correct Sata buses And boy is multitouch nice for websurfing, scrolling... tapping isn't working, but I dont like it anyway. sl_mac... as a newbie, I'd wait a little longer before attempting. I'm doing all the dirty work, that should cover 85% of your needs. The rests you'll have to do on your own, like generating a valid graphics string specifically for your machine, and edit it in the com.apple.boot.plist. Keep coming back, by the looks of this there might be a first run tutorial soon :) And I'll help my best with the rest. Making SL boot by the method I managed to do is dead easy, but does envolve some editing of a couple of files, a USB 8GB will be mandatory not optional, snow leo ISO not DVD (sorry mascal, right now I dont think there is any way around this) must be used to create a custom bootable USB. Also, I installed on fresh drive, there are some problems with dual booting Leo and Snow under the same drive, but this method will allow dual booters to correctly do it because the trick lies in the UUID serial numbers of partitions. Just need correct CPU info and Ram speed, ethernet, SD card... and we're done I think. Ps: Mascal, forget what I said, you can make your own ISO in 20 minutes, duh, no need to download. |
