Thanks man! I followed your instruction including the "cpus=1" command and the new Natit.kexts but I'm still getting the blank white screen. Here are some pics of what console is saying before the white screen comes up.
Cheers |

1. boot into leo10.5 2. delete the following 2 files on ur USB /system/library/extensions
notes: make sure natit.kext is in USB /extra/extensions if the above doesnt work... try removing natit.kext and booting into ur USB... |
Brilliant! Just Brilliant I say!!! Now boots into Snow Installer quick as a flash too!! So do I still need to follow any Terminal commands before I begin install (as you said in the instructions beginning of post) And what about other stuff?
Thanks a million. I have been hacking at this for almost a week now!!!! And I'm in :) Talk soon :) |

k do this now... make sure that natit and nullcpupm kexts are in ur USB drive's "/snow-installer/filez/extra/extensions" boot into the snow installer on ur USB with the help of those boot flags if need be. click continue... if u havent prepared a target partition for SL from leo, open up the disk utility now from the menu > utilities > disk utility and make a new partition for SL... if ur current leo parition is taking up the whole disk, u will have to resize it and create a new one for SL from leo as ive mentioned in the previous reply... on the other hand u can create a test SL partition on ur USB drive the same way without actually touching the internal drive until everything with SL is upto ur satisfaction... the next step is to launch the terminal from the menu > utilities > terminal and run my script so that ur ultimate SL target partition becomes bootable... (just like u did for the USB installer partition) in terminal type: "/snow-installer/installnow" run through the script and select ur ultimate SL target now... then quit the terminal... then continue with the SL installation... and install it to the ultimate SL target... once the installer finishes... it will show u a restart button and a countdown timer... hit restart... if ur target SL isnt on ur USB drive, unplug ur USB drive at this point... or it will boot back into the installer... if ur target SL is on ur USB, leave it... it will boot into the newly installed SL partition... if the first SL boot gives u errors, use those same boot flags... cpus=1 -v -f arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=No now at this point if u are facing the grey screen again, u have to go back into ur leo and delete those two gma3100 kexts from ur target SL partitions "/system/library/extensions" once u r inside ur newly installed SL, we'll take it from there... good luck!!! |
Ok thanks again! All installed, usb drive unplugged rebooted and had no dramas but I don't believe I have sound or correct batter/power modulation. The fan keeps sparking and things are getting hot. I installed the voodoo batter.dmg (which fixed this issue with Leo 10.5 and also gave me battery meter and icons). I will give these a go and see what happens.
I have not browsed too much but so far sound appears missing....all else is great. So what do we need now? |
....Looks like our new Snow install didn't like the Voodoo.battery.dmg proggie. I used it on my previous install to fix the fan and heat issues. But when I installed it onto the new OS it brought up an error with its string name in boot before it hung on me. Oh, well, I will try the Snow inst again.
|
Oh, another thing mate....I dragged the kexts files voodoo.kext and powermanagement.kext over the Kext Helper v7. Now I have the battery meter but fan is still spiking and things are getting hot. Also the GFX card has defaulted to 1024/768 resolution rather than 1280x800 and only 1024 rez option in display menu. Is there any way to system restore or delete the kext files I just put in or is there a command at startup to set resolutions?
Thanks |

there's two different battery solutions... try em one by one... not both at the same time... then for graphics, grab these x3100 files... extract them to ur desktop or somewhere... while in SL, first go to the folder /system/library/extensions and delete the original files there that has the same names as the ones from the x3100 package u've downloaded... once the originals are gone... copy-n-paste the downloaded ones to /s/l/e then open up terminal and run these commands:
u should now have working graphics... |
ok dude...Gr8! But 1 question before I start. I see that "battery 1" has an installer file while "battery 2" includes only the kext. How can I restore from a bad install of this file (to battery 2 if need be) if lappie doesnt like it? I can't see "uninstall" on mac's (like in control panel in windows). hanks a million. I will give it a go tonight.

thats what it installs... |
Ok mate, I kind of guess that that would be your answer ;-) I'll try it out real soon.
Thanks |
Hey man, I downloaded and installed (per your instructions) the x300 files and i get an error on this line "sudo diskutil repairpermissions /volumes/Leopard" saying it could not umount the drive or find the UUID? It then seems to complete the install. All the other lines seem to do what they were intended to do. I have installed and reinstalled about 5 times now.
After I rebooted from applying your commands, the screen went from white to blue and just hung there. Quit puzzling...... _Simon |
Quote:
do a fresh install and see if those battery and sound kexts work... ill go try to find a working driver for x3100... havent seen anybody yet who's been able to get their laptop x3100 working :-( in the meantime, try the following as well... do a fresh install... browse to /s/l/e and this time, only delete the file called appleintelintegratedframebuffer.kext then reboot with those same boot flags... which includes "-f" if that doesnt give u working graphics... delete appleintelgmax3100fb.kext reboot like before... if that doesnt work either... we gotta find a working x3100 graphics kext... also... the next time ur in snow (fresh/no mods), grab a screenshot of what it says under system profiler > graphics/display |
Well, the gfx seem to work, but it doesnt like rebooting into the gfx card after install. Every time I fire up the usb with Snow image and your funky file set, it reaches the install screen every time. Its odd that it does this after installing snow.
Ok man, will try what you suggested. If worse comes to worse. I can still run kalyway 5.3 and wait for the next iATKOS, then again if its an issues with x3100 drivers and snow, that may not work either. Thanks dude |
Quote:
btw i read that even though the internal lcd doesnt work with the stock x3100 kexts, plugging in an external monitor gives full graphics... try booting into the installed snow while an external display is plugged in, if u got one... if an external display works with full resolution, we should try to hack the stock kexts to switch the devices around... if the external display works, make sure u take a screenshot of system profiler > graphics/displays... |
Ok man sounds great! Well, actually your hackie which I used to boot with does give full rez at 1280x800 but it defaulted me back to 800x600 or something on reboot after I installed the voodoo_dmg file (not one of yours).
I have just tried the external display (an Asus 22 inch from my other pc). All visible again till the load screen and same white image. I will now try to take a screenie of whats going on for you. Cheers |

Righty then....here are the pics you requested. The first one is from sys profile, the second is some extra information that may be helpful from display profile. And...rather off topic, the third pic is what it tells me on reboot after I installed the new iATKOS V7 (which is an iso I mounted and ran from cd). If you'd rather me talk to the approriate people about iATKOS just send me that way.
I just thought I'd ask you as it is an error others are getting....and of course you seem to know more than everything about these proggies.............. You have been a great help so far thanks :-) -Simon |

cos if it was taken from snow10.6, everything seems to be in order... anyways... im all outta options at this point... i think we might have to wait for someone to cook-up a working set of x3100 kexts... and im not too sure about the iatkos error... best u take it up with those guys :-) |
Hello, I am new to this hackintosh business but I have successfully installed Ideneb 1.5.1
I have followed your step and created a bootable USB flash disk for snow leopard installation but the boot stops at Warning- com.apple.driver.internal moderm supports declares no kernal dependencies: using com.apple.Kernel.6.0 ACPI_SMC_Platformplugin::stand wait for service(resourceMatching) (AppleIntelCpuPowerManagment) timeout Pls any help with that. Thanks |
Hi dude, yes the pics were taken from within Snow 10.6. Nah its all good. Thanks a million for all your help. I can run Leo 5.3 without dramas so I'll keep doing that until something like Kalyway or iatkos comes along.
Many thanks :-) |

djnitehawk I have attached my working dsdt.dsl, my ioreg and a PCI hack.dsl. Could you help me figure out where i need to place this into my working dsdt.dsl and exactly what changes I need to do to the PCI hack itself? I got the hack from DSDTSE the ev0sx86 patcher latest version 1.24.
I am a bit confused by what they mean at the end of the hack to add that in the beginning? Also trying to figure out what is the ID of the PCI bridge or whatever ID I need to substitute for the one they have in the example. All 3 files inside the attached zip. Appreciate the effort. This hack is suppose to put the Wireless card information into the PCI section of the Mac Profiler. I am not sure however if it adds any more functionality that I have now for my Wireless? I just edited the plist and added 4329 to it and my linksys wireless works fine. Just curious about the hack. Still working on it myself with some trial and error so would appreciate some quick start help on it. Thanks Again!! |
Quote:
besides, if ur wireless is working after adding the device id, the system profiler not showing it under PCI is purely cosmetics... so dont bother... |
all good things must come to an end...
ANNOUNCEMENT:
im sorry to say that i no longer have the time necessary to help everyone individually through their problems... i think we've already solved (more than once) most of the common problems that people encounter when using this script... from now on i am only going to answer questions that i already know the answer to, as i just dont have the time to go hunt around for information... a word of advise for newbies: dont even think about installing snow leo on laptops, if this is ur first time doing a vanilla install... it will be a slow and painful death... but hey dont let that deter u from tryin :-) for desktops, make sure you have hardware from the past 1-2 years... for ex: intel core cpu, mobo with hpet, ahci sata controller, acpi2, a recent nvidia graphics card, sata hdd, sata dvd, etc... and always remember: GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND :-) good luck everyone!!! |
Thanks all of the PCI and PCI-e devices showed up perfectly with Netaks new 10.3 EFI except the linksys PCI Airport?
I ran his ioreg script and it printed pci0 so I put that -pci0 flag in the string under the kernle flag keys and that did not help. I might still have trial and error the DSDT no biggie. Did you get your Wireless PCI card to show up in the profiler? |
nah i dont use pc efi... my comp doesnt wake up from sleep if i use pc efi... so i stick to chameleon2 rc3...
so i have no pci devices listed in sys prof :-) |

I would like to thank you for this brillant script, it is the ONLY thing that has has managed to install Snow Leopard on an ASUS P5K vanilla system. I tried every option in the book and was just about to trash this board in favor of a Gigabyte board when I thought I would give it a try. On my second attempt, I have a working system. Some pointers for other trying to get this script to work.... When firing it up, I suggest doing so from a terminal rather then a gui. Doing so allows you to use "sudo" thereby preventing any permission errors during it's processing. Thats what I did second time around and it worked brilliantly. In my case the only negative is that I have to put 2 kexts in S/L/E instead of E/E - my network and VoodooHDA. VoodooHDA got my sound working (ALC883) although nothing is showing on the system profiler. At this stage I am happy, sleep doesn't work (won't wake up) but I am not concerned. WIll test for a few days to see what happens but at this stage the machine is running fine on 10.6.1. For those that are interested, I am running a plain P5K MBd, E8400, 4Gb 800 ram and an nVidia 8600GT 512Mb with dual 500Gb SATA drives. My bios is from a P5KR, version 0703. Cheers Bruce |
Hey djnitehawk,
It is I again :-) , with the laptop compaq presario. Well, believe it or not I have Snow working propperly on this lappie. Yes! believe it brother it is true! Only problem is that the machine is getting rather hot and the fan keeps spiking every 30 seconds or so. This is not good. Can you advise of a kext or program that will fix this matter? I have tried a few different voodoopower.kexts to no avail. They worked with Kalyway 5.4 but not with the new build. It would be greatly appreciated my friend if you could point me in the right direction. Thank you |
Great idea for a script, I'm really interested in using it but I have one problem so far. In tip #2 you suggest to find a guide for the motherboard in question, and the problem is I've been searching google high and low, also all the hackintosh sites i know to find a guide for my motherboard but oddly (since it's one of the boards that used to be recommended for hackintosh puropses) Noone seems to be using it? or at least not writing guides for it.
Hardware: Gigabyte P31-DS3L Graphics: Asus 9800GT Pretty much I'm stuck on finding the proper files for my board, and the other boards I've seen guides for either have a slightly different chipset or southbridge, and from my understanding this would likely make the files useless for me? If you can help me get started that would be awesome. |
Get to blue screen and then it stops
I'm guessing that's because of a vid/kext issue?
MB: Asus P5E-VM HDMI (vid not used) VID: 7800 GTX 512 Proc: Intel 9550 Did the GraphicsEnabler=No and worked like a charm! I guess I need to read the whole thread next time. Thanks for your good work! |

I've installed with your guide SL from retail-DVD on my NB Asus G71v plus few kextes. Your guide is excellent, my NB works almost as a dream. However sysinfo (also ioreg in both Leo and SL) shows it as MacPro2.1 (maybe your install script also?). My only problem at this point is: the blower from CPU or/and motherboard goes permanently. What can I do? My config: ASUS G71V Core 2 Quad QX9300 NVidia 9700M GT 512MB Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500S 4GB 1066 DDR3 2x500GB SATA HD Hitachi HTS545050KTA300 D-Link 643 WLAN Expresscard |

Hey I've got the same problem here, can I please attach my DSDT.dsl file for recompiling here?

hi guys,
sorry for being absent from this forum as i've been bogged down with work... things are slowing down now and i was wondering if people still find this script useful and if it was worth spending some time to update the package with the latest bits. let me know if you would like me to update this pkg so that it will work properly with snow leo 10.6.2... i personally havent updated to 10.6.2 yet but will do soon... if enough people would like to see this script updated, will do that too :-) |
update
welcome back dude
would you be working on a new script for 10.6.2 update....:D vipercat.. |
I'd be interested if you could include a driver for a Realtek 8169 chipset. I'm having real problems with getting it configured.

I did have to use Voodoo HDA kext to enable sound and to save me some grief with network bought a Netgear GA311
I really wish to use the onboard Gigabit Ethernet and not have to use voodoo HDA. But everytime I try AppleHDA I get a KP from kextd i cant tell what is the offending kext I remove The VooDoo one when I use AppleHDA. I found a snow leaopard ALC883 Kext on The Project OS X forum. |
gr8 wrk dj-nitehawk
gr8 thx dj-nitehawk for your hard-work!!
i would like to install Autodesk Smoke for mac and for that minimum sys req is Snow Leopard 10.6.2, hence it would be great if you can update your script for 10.6.2 btw, right now i hav iPC Leopard 10.5.6 running also, hope snowleopard_10a432_userdvd can be used to install SL by ur method, with my current dual-boot staying intact (i.e. WinXP and iPC 10.5.6), coz will need WinXP as well. and can i install SL 10.6 (10a432) from ur guide and then software update to 10.6.2?? -anyway, gr8 thx!! gr8 job!! ;) EDIT: my specs if reqd; C2D E6750 2.66ghz DG33FB mobo Palit GTS250 512mb 250GB+1TB SATA HDD |
I've tried a couple of installation methods, Lifehacker's and sk1nhd33t's. I've restored a retail dmg to a Sandisk 8gb thumb drive, partitioned in GUID. I am trying to install on a 60gb IDE HDD in an external USB case. I have a 500 gb SATA drive for data, but not installed yet. I only get a blinking cursor at boot-up.
pertinent (I believe) BIOS settings 1st boot device: USB Sandisk SATA: AHCI HPET: Enabled AM I missing a USB BOOT enabled? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. *SOLVED* I had a bad USB Thumb drive. Now I can make it through setup, but am unable to log in. It doesn't recognize Username, Password. I re-setup with no password, but still no luck. It is an external drive, so I can go to a SL machine if anyone knows how to get past log in. Thanks MSI X58M i7 920 4gb DDR3 BFG GTS250 |

Hey, dj nitehawk
I have used your method to install Snow Leopard on PC. I am now having two problems 1 CD/DVD drive is not working 2 ALC 888 sound card not working. Here are my specs: Mainboard: Intel DG33FB Processor: Core2Quad Q6600 RAM: 2 GB Audio: ALC888 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8800GS |
hi guys,
I used the snow installer provided here with a snow leopard iso restored on my pendrive. then I copied the extra folder from here, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...topic=210118ot made the booter into the ASUS-K50IN/K40IN-BootCD v2. managed to get to the boot screen and pressed enter to get the installation started. It started reading then this happend. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...x/IMG_2358.jpgWhat could have caused this ? Im using a Asus K40IN. thanks... |
I've the same result using an ASUS K50IN, using 10.6.3 version
Almost the same screen from tukangreka, final message: System uptime in nanoseconds: some large number I've already tried: -boot with "ForceHPET=Yes" -nullcpupowermanagement ktext -there is no option for enabling the HPET via the bios There is a lot of people in this forum with a successful asus k50IN hackintosh, some say this is the ideal laptop for osx... Someone can help me? |
