Snow Leopard works! Some problems... Should be easy to fix!
I got Snow Leopard working on my laptop :P.
I get native QE/CI & resolution change on my X3100, which is good. Ethernet also works. Here's the problems I'm having so far. If anyone knows how to fix these things, please tell me! 1. Wifi doesn't work. I'm on Atheros AR5007. Works fine in Leopard. I see some things regarded the kext while in verbose mode. It tries to load the kext a couple of times but failed. I'll take a picture upon request. 2. Audio doesn't work. I'm using the VoodooHDA.kext that was specifically made for SL and it says something weird in verbose mode. I'll take a picture upon request. 3. Laptop trackpad/keyboard doesn't work. I'm using a USB KB/mouse at the moment. I'm using VoodooPS2 in Leopard and it works great. Any fixes on this? UPDATE: Reinstalled VoodooPS2, and the keyboard is now working, but the trackpad isn't :(. 7. I see something about waiting for dsmos while booting in verbose mode. Doesn't seem to bother the boot time or anything, but should I be worried about this? I guess that's it for now... I'll update this post with anything else that I can find. |
Will try and help some ...
1. You don't have the right kext .... kexts that work in Leopard don't necessarily work in SL. 2. VooDooHDA did not work for me unless I put it in S/L/E 4. You wont see the drive from which you boot on your desktop 5. Try OpenHaltRestart.kext 7. I think I may get the same message .... I'll check next time I boot |
1. I didn't change the wifi kext. It's loading the regular ones that come with SL.
2. I will try that, thanks. 4. Why not? They show up fine in Leopard :(. 5. Will do. 7. Alrighty! I've been having some problems with my laptop not turning on. It'll just stay at System BIOS Shadowed & Video BIOS Shadowed. It won't change after that. I noticed that sleep worked while in Snow Leopard, but only for 5 seconds, then the laptop will turn back on. After I rebootd, it's been saying this system and video junk. It doesn't seem to want to boot anymore :(. I can't go into the BIOS either. |
3. UPDATE: Reinstalled VoodooPS2, and the keyboard is now working, but the trackpad isn't :(.
5. UPDATE: HOLY CRAP! I patched the DSDT, stuck it in the root, and it shuts down and restarts near instantly ;). Although, when I go to shutdown, it just restarts the computer. Does the same thing in Leopard. Note: I am using OpenHaltReboot.kext in /E/E. |

Hi do you have the Extensa 5620z?
I have the sound working with: ALCinject.kext And voodoohda.kext.

I have 2 SL installs, slightly different, and they both don't have the partitions of the boot drive on the desktop. My other Mac and Windows partitions are all accounted for. |
4. If correctly snow showing your HDDs in Finder > HDD showing on desktop works if you enable in FInder preferences! Defaultly in SL disabled.

To get working trackpad and keyboard > Remove ApplePS2Nub and VoodooPS2Controller. And install this with kext helper: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/196731/ps2%20drivers.zip 5. If your reboot/shutdown still not works correctly. You can try my OpenHaltRestart (works for me). Install with Kext helper in /System/Library/Extensions http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/196731/Op...start.kext.zip 8. For battery meter use this kext http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/196731/Ap...er32b.kext.zip ... ... ... ... |
