ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ от 24.10.2009:
- Добавлен кекст VoodooBattery.kext для индикации заряда батареи ноутбука (работает в 32- и 64-битном режимах)!
- Добавлена свежая сборка VoodooHDA с улучшенной совместимостью, благодаря которой заработал вход для внешнего микрофона (встроенный микрофон пока не завёлся).
________________________________________________
Наконец-то руководство готово:
Это пособие написано специально для всех желающих, включая полных новичков, впервые знакомящихся с миром OS X. Главное — дать каждому возможность лично оценить, насколько великолепна эта операционная система, прежде чем идти в магазин за настоящим компьютером Mac (а она того действительно стоит!).
Руководство ориентировано прежде всего на владельцев ноутбуков с процессорами Intel Core 2 Duo и видеокартами NVIDIA (но подойдёт и для других конфигураций).
Оно создавалось специально под замечательный ноутбук Acer Aspire 6935G и наверняка пригодится владельцам всех родственных моделей линейки Gemstone (6920G, 8930G, 8920G) и близких к ним по железу платформ.
Я постараюсь описать все шаги максимально полно, просто и подробно — со временем тема будет дополняться ответами на типичные вопросы начинающих.
Несколько важных предварительных замечаний:
- Главная цель этого руководства — получить не просто рабочую, а максимально СТАБИЛЬНУЮ систему.
- Поначалу могут оставаться мелкие недочёты (например, неработающий вход микрофона или проводная сеть), но наша первоочередная задача — установить на ноутбук стабильно загружающуюся систему Snow Leopard, которой уже можно комфортно пользоваться, а специфическое железо довести до ума чуть позже. Все процедуры я описываю на примере своего ноутбука, поэтому делайте поправку на свою конфигурацию. ПОЖАЛУЙСТА, ВОЗДЕРЖИТЕСЬ ЗДЕСЬ ОТ ВОПРОСОВ ПО ПОСТ-УСТАНОВКЕ НА ДРУГИХ МОДЕЛЯХ — для этого есть профильные ветки по конкретному железу. Здесь мы добиваемся стабильной загрузки системы.
- Активно пользуйтесь поиском по форуму.
- Настройка двойной загрузки (Dual Boot) в этом руководстве не рассматривается.
- НЕ НАЗЫВАЙТЕ раздел с новой установкой Snow Leopard так же, как назывался ваш старый раздел с Leopard! Даже при разных UUID это приводит к странным глюкам индексации Spotlight и Finder.
- Не пытайтесь сразу строить мультизагрузку Leopard и Snow Leopard на одном диске — сначала добейтесь стабильной работы SL и сделайте её полную резервную копию с помощью бесплатной программы Carbon Copy Cloner.
- Установка через интерфейс eSATA НЕ РАБОТАЕТ — система сыплет паниками ядра (Kernel Panic). Не знаю почему, мне и самому надоело бесконечно переставлять жёсткие диски и держать ноутбук со снятой нижней крышкой. Если кто-то знает решение — пишите.
- НЕ ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ ЖЁСТКИЕ ДИСКИ WESTERN DIGITAL (некоторых мобильных серий) — у них известны проблемы совместимости даже с настоящими MacBook (из-за агрессивной парковки головок), я сам намучился с одним таким накопителем.
- Настоятельно рекомендую первое время всегда загружаться с флагом -v в меню Chameleon, чтобы в случае паники ядра сразу видеть причину остановки.
- Чрезвычайно важно: в используемом здесь загрузчике Chameleon 2 RC3 изменился флаг принудительной загрузки в 32-битном режиме! Если раньше мы писали -x32, то теперь нужно вводить arch=i386 (на всякий случай я вложил в архив и старые сборки RC1/RC2).
- Из беспроводных карт Wi-Fi я работал только с модулями Dell/Broadcom 1390 и 1490 (PCI-E). Они стоят около 15 евро на eBay и заводятся «из коробки» как родной AirPort. Пожалуйста, не просите в теме кексты под другие Wi-Fi-адаптеры.
ЧТО ВАМ ПОНАДОБИТСЯ:
- Ноутбук на базе процессора Intel Core 2 Duo с видеокартой NVIDIA (или совместимой) и чистым жёстким диском.
- Рабочая система Mac OS X Leopard на другом разделе/диске либо доступ к настоящему Mac или другому хакинтошу.
- Образ розничного диска (Retail DVD ISO/DMG) Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- USB-флешка объёмом 8 ГБ.
- Архив с кекстами и утилитами, ссылка на который приведена ниже.
- Утилита Kext Utility (входит в архив — скрипт для автоматического восстановления прав и пересборки кэша .mkext как в /System/Library/Extensions, так и в /Extra/Extensions).
- Утилита ShowAllFiles (входит в архив — для включения отображения скрытых системных файлов).
- Внешние USB-клавиатура и мышь для прохождения экрана первоначальной настройки учётной записи (существует обходной путь, но наш метод нацелен на максимальную простоту и отсутствие паник ядра у новичков).
- Внешний USB-бокс (карман) для 2,5-дюймового жёсткого диска.
- Скомпилированный под ваш ноутбук файл dsdt.aml (извлечённый в Leopard или Linux). Если его пока нет — можно начать и без него.

Руководство разделено на 3 этапа:
1. Подготовка установочной флешки (Install Procedure)
2. Установка, первый запуск и создание учётной записи (Booting Procedure)
3. Пост-установка и доводка драйверов ноутбука (Post Install)
===========================================
Этап 1: Подготовка загрузочной USB-флешки
- Отформатируйте USB-флешку в файловую систему Mac OS Extended (Journaled / HFS+J) со схемой GUID и назовите её, например, «Snow Install».
- Восстановите образ Snow Leopard ISO/DMG на флешку: в «Дисковой утилите» выберите флешку, перейдите на вкладку «Восстановить» (Restore), перетащите раздел флешки в поле «Назначение» (Destination), а образ Snow Leopard — в поле «Источник» (Source).
- Скопируйте скачанную папку A_FILE_VAULT в корень подготовленной USB-флешки, а также на Рабочий стол вашей рабочей системы Leopard (или на Mac вашей девушки — неважно).
- Из папки A_FILE_VAULT запустите установщик загрузчика Chameleon 2 RC3 и установите его на USB-флешку.
(Далее для краткости я буду называть папку A_FILE_VAULT просто «Vault» — буква «A» в начале имени нужна специально для того, чтобы папка всегда отображалась первой по алфавиту в корне флешки, поэтому не переименовывайте её).
- Из папки A_FILE_VAULT/Tools запустите утилиту «ShowAllFiles» и нажмите «Show» (Показать скрытые файлы).
- Удалите из корня USB-флешки стандартную пустую папку Extra, которую только что создал установщик Chameleon 2.
- Откройте «Дисковую утилиту», щёлкните правой кнопкой мыши по разделу флешки «Snow Install» и откройте окно «Свойства» (Information).
- Скопируйте значение универсального уникального идентификатора раздела (UUID) в текстовый файл.
Теперь откройте копию папки A_FILE_VAULT на Рабочем столе, перейдите внутри неё в каталог USB Boot/Extra — вам нужно прописать скопированный UUID флешки в трёх файлах:
1 — smbios.plist — откройте в текстовом редакторе TextEdit, вставьте ваш UUID, сохраните файл.
2 — com.apple.Boot.plist — откройте в TextEdit, замените значение UUID и сохраните.
3 — В папке Extensions щёлкните правой кнопкой мыши по кексту PlatformUUID.kext, выберите «Показать содержимое пакета» (Show Package Contents) -> Contents -> Info.plist. Откройте его в TextEdit, вставьте ваш UUID и сохраните.
Скопируйте подготовленную папку Extra (именно саму папку Extra, а не весь каталог USB Boot) в корень вашей USB-флешки «Snow Install».
Поздравляю, загрузочная установочная флешка со Snow Leopard готова!
Этап 2: Установка и первый запуск
Возьмите чистый жёсткий диск, на который планируете ставить Snow Leopard, поместите его во внешний USB-бокс и подключите к рабочему Mac или хакинтошу.
Запустите «Дисковую утилиту».
Выберите целевой физический диск, перейдите на вкладку «Разбить на разделы» (Partition), выберите в выпадающем списке «1 раздел», а в кнопке «Параметры» (Options) ниже обязательно укажите схему разделов GUID (GPT). Задайте имя разделу и нажмите «Применить» (Apply).
Теперь у нас есть загрузочная флешка, чистый размеченный жёсткий диск и папка A_FILE_VAULT на Рабочем столе вспомогательного компьютера. Установите жёсткий диск обратно в ноутбук. Убедитесь, что в BIOS включена загрузка с USB или активировано меню выбора загрузочного устройства (на Asus это обычно клавиша Esc, на Acer — F12).
- Загрузите ноутбук с установочной USB-флешки.
- Нажмите любую клавишу, чтобы прервать обратный отсчёт загрузчика Chameleon.
- Введите с клавиатуры флаги arch=i386 -v (до полного завершения настройки мы всегда будем загружаться в 32-битном режиме и с подробным текстовым выводом, чтобы контролировать возможные паники ядра).
- Запустится графический установщик Snow Leopard. Выберите целевой раздел жёсткого диска и нажмите кнопку «Настроить» (Customize).
- Снимите галочки с X11, дополнительных драйверов принтеров и лишних языковых пакетов (всё это при необходимости можно доустановить позже) и запустите установку.
- Когда установка завершится, программа предложит перезагрузить компьютер. Нажмите «Перезагрузить», но как только экран погаснет и появится заставка BIOS — сразу выключите ноутбук кнопкой питания!
- Снова извлеките жёсткий диск из ноутбука, поместите его во внешний USB-бокс и подключите к вспомогательному Mac / хакинтошу с Leopard.
- Смонтируйте раздел со свежеустановленной Snow Leopard.
- Из папки A_FILE_VAULT установите загрузчик Chameleon 2 RC3 уже на сам жёсткий диск со Snow Leopard.
- Удалите созданную по умолчанию папку Extra из корня жёсткого диска со Snow Leopard.
- Откройте «Дисковую утилиту», посмотрите свойства раздела со Snow Leopard и скопируйте его собственный UUID.
- В папке A_FILE_VAULT на Рабочем столе перейдите в подпапку Snow Leopard/Extra.
- Точно так же, как делали для флешки, пропишите новый UUID жёсткого диска в трёх файлах: smbios.plist, com.apple.Boot.plist и PlatformUUID.kext.
- Скопируйте эту подготовленную папку Extra в корень жёсткого диска со Snow Leopard.
- Скопируйте ваш файл dsdt.aml в корень жёсткого диска со Snow Leopard.
Диск полностью готов к загрузке! Установите его обратно в отсек ноутбука.
(Примечание: если у вас ещё нет собственного файла dsdt.aml, его можно сгенерировать с помощью DSDT Patcher от fassl прямо на целевой машине либо временно загрузиться без него — многие ноутбуки позволяют пройти установку и без dsdt.aml, хотя для правильной работы питания и периферии в дальнейшем лучше обязательно сделать дамп и пропатчить DSDT именно под свою версию BIOS).
Момент истины! Включайте ноутбук, перехватывайте меню Chameleon и вводите:
arch=i386 -vПодключите внешние USB-клавиатуру и мышь. Вы должны увидеть приветственный видеоролик и окно создания учётной записи. Заполните анкету и войдите на Рабочий стол. Внимание: это самый деликатный момент! Через 2–3 минуты после появления Рабочего стола может произойти паника ядра (KP), пока кэши и права ещё не перестроены. Не пугайтесь — нужно просто быстро запустить утилиту Kext Utility из папки A_FILE_VAULT/Tools (скопируйте её на Рабочий стол и запустите). Если система успела упасть в KP до окончания работы скрипта — просто перезагрузитесь с флагами arch=i386 -v и повторите запуск Kext Utility. Как только она отработает до конца:
Откройте «Дисковую утилиту» и запустите восстановление прав доступа (Repair Permissions).
Перезагрузитесь с флагами arch=i386 -v.
Теперь у вас должна быть абсолютно стабильная базовая система Snow Leopard! Погоняйте её полчаса, проверьте температуру процессора, откройте браузер или QuickTime. Если всё работает стабильно — самое время скачать Carbon Copy Cloner и сохранить резервный образ чистой системы на внешний диск.
С этого момента система уже должна спокойно загружаться без флагов (в том числе и в 64-битном режиме).
================================================================
Этап 3: Пост-установка драйверов для ноутбука
Перейдите в каталог /System/Library/Extensions, найдите штатный кекст AppleHDA.kext и удалите его (предварительно сохранив резервную копию).
В папке /Extra/Extensions удалите dsmos.kext.
Из папки A_FILE_VAULT/Post install kexts скопируйте кексты в соответствующие каталоги вашей системы Snow Leopard (папку Extra — в /Extra/Extensions, а папку SLE — в /System/Library/Extensions).
ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ: Кекст AttansicL1eEthernet.kext предназначен специально для сетевой карты ноутбука Acer 6935G.
Во время копирования кекстов в S/L/E система выдаст предупреждения о неправильных правах — это нормально, просто нажимайте «ОК».
Затем запустите Kext Utility и дождитесь завершения пересборки кэшей.
Восстановите права доступа через «Дисковую утилиту».
Перезагрузитесь — после этого должны заработать встроенная клавиатура, тачпад и базовый вывод звука!
Теперь займёмся видеокартой. Если у вас сохранилась строка инициализации EFI (device-properties) ещё со времён Leopard, вы можете вставить её в /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist (скопируйте файл на Рабочий стол, отредактируйте, верните в /Extra и снова прогоните Kext Utility).
Если готовой EFI-строки нет, её можно сгенерировать утилитой gfxutil. Для владельцев ноутбуков с видеокартой NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 МБ и путём устройства PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) (именно адрес PciRoot играет решающую роль!) подойдёт вот эта проверенная строка:
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Замечание по информации о процессоре и памяти (SMBIOS):
Файл /Extra/smbios.plist задаёт идентификатор модели Mac, что напрямую влияет на работу профилей управления питанием и общую производительность. Серийные номера и названия производителей модулей ОЗУ ни на что не влияют, а вот идентификатор модели стоит подбирать максимально близко к вашему железу — например, в моём файле прописан профиль MacBookPro5,1. Хотя мой процессор в окне «Об этом Mac» отображается как «Unknown», тесты производительности показывают, что работает он на все 100%.
О клонировании свежеустановленной системы:
По моему опыту, создание клона чистой системы и последующее восстановление из него делают файловую систему ещё более отзывчивой и стабильной. Только не забывайте: при любом переформатировании или переразбивке раздела его UUID меняется, поэтому после клонирования на новый раздел нужно обязательно обновить UUID в трёх конфигурационных файлах!
Индикатор батареи:
Скачайте прикреплённый кекст VoodooBattery.kext, скопируйте его в /Extra/Extensions, запустите Kext Utility, восстановите права доступа и перезагрузитесь. Отлично работает в 64-битном режиме!
Обновлённая сборка звукового драйвера VoodooHDA:
Я выложил этот архив из 4 файлов, так как с ним у меня полноценно заработали выход на наушники и вход для внешнего микрофона (после подстройки ползунков в панели системных настроек VoodooHDA).
Порядок замены старого драйвера:
- Удалите прежний VoodooHDA.kext (проверьте как /Extra/Extensions, так и /System/Library/Extensions; заодно убедитесь, что удалён AppleHDA.kext).
- Скопируйте новый VoodooHDA.kext из архива в /System/Library/Extensions.
- Скопируйте программу "Voodoo HDA Helper" в папку «Программы» (/Applications).
- Откройте «Системные настройки» -> «Учётные записи» -> вкладка «Объекты входа» (Login Items) и добавьте туда "Voodoo HDA Helper".
- Запустите Kext Utility.
- Восстановите права доступа в «Дисковой утилите».
- Перезагрузитесь.
- Установите панель настроек VoodooHDA.prefpane из архива.
Готово!

For the sound you can also use (voodooHDA.kext 021), works perfectly ...!
But otherwise this is a great guide ... :))
Great Guide !
Now I get my SL installation working... and it works in 64 bit Too!
My only problem is the battery … I cant see the battery icon on the top bar!
Mascal, I've tried one for 32bit that worked great, none of the 64bit worked, in fact, KP. As soon as I find one, I'll post.
Also, to note that you also had problems with Western Digital drives right? for anyone having problems, look out for this.
Kopit, the voodooHDA show up in system profiler as 0.2.1 - I've had mic in before, but audio has been hell for me, I think I'll enjoy Snow for a while before diving in again for mic in.
yes exactly ! DON'T USE WD HD to istall Snow leopard !
I tried with a Seagate one and the installation worked great at the first times!

A have SnowOSX Universal 10.6 v3.5 distro and installed it from dvd.
I get the graphics to work and mouse trackpad and bluetooth and SD. And USB works and Webcam but what is not working is:
Ethernet and audio
Tryed the kext driver from leopard that worked erlier but no success.
Can you help me?
U have to use for audio VoodooHDA kext and for integrated ethernet AttansicL1eEthernet kext that u can download from here media fire.com/?emn2dyizldo
I noticed that my 9600gt 1Gb has some very very poor OpenGL performances : only 86,1 (using xbench)
My ATI x1600 128 MB on my real iMAC gives me 210 !
Didnt work for me..
Copied the to kext file like you said into my SnowLeopard 10.6 and runed kext util. and no network and no sound found.
Copied the files to this place:
/System/library/Extensions/kext file here...
But i have no Extra folder where should it be or is it nessasary?
Extra should be in the root of the drive, if you are using Chameleon 2 as bootloader...
Kamal, remove the link of the distro you downloaded. Its against the rules and you could be banned without mercy ! do it ASAP !
Ok removed the link. didnt know.
Okej i do not have Chameleon 2 as bootloader. do i need it?
Found 2 dsmos one in the library and one in the System/library
Removed dsmos from the both places and now SL does not boot anymore. silly me... hehe... ''
Should install SL from the start again. But will go and find an USB 8GB to install it from USB. faster..
Do you running SL on your 6935G? I was Running iPC 10.5.7 with i uppdate from Apple it worked fine but would like to try SNOW..seems faster or better.
Have you not any packed only to Acer 6935G kext. or i only need this too kext. in A_Falult?'''
Hope you can answer soon will be pleased.

Hi guyz !
I solved the problem with battery in the top bar
stellarola.tum blr.com/post/165429070/prepare-yourself
in this site u can find several 64 bit kests and using the voodoobattery i solved my problem
great stuff mascal ! Thanks, going to try it out! (EDIT: fianlly, working without KP in 64bit! Quick question, does your time calculation work ok? mine seem to go up to 3:30mins full charged, them drops quickly to 1:50 withing 1 minute, then goes up again, then down, then stabilizes around 2h This could be from lack of speedstep, anyone know how to test this?)
About OpenGL... What did you use to benchmark?
This is brand new technology, where OSX works with the graphics card to work with CPU and deliver faster processing... So either the card is not 100% working, or hardware specs are not delivering what you'd expect.
Mind you, that my model is 9600m GT 512 with GDDR3, I am pretty sure the 1GB model like your is GDDR2, so the is a huge gap there. What gfx card to you have in your iMac ?
My string for my video card worked perfect in Leo, but I have found that I dont have VGA out in SL, bummer... havent had a chance to try HDMI. There could be something up right there...
Kamal,
Yes, I highly recommend using a USB method. Also, using Chameleon 2 bring ALOT of benefit to most users, helps solve problems and is easier to maintain a stable system. Other methods are best left for more advanced users. Try my tutorial!
yes it's true the recharging calculation time doesnt seem to work in the right way … only % works fine here ...
I used xBench for testing.
iMAc has an old ATI 1600 128MB and the test gave me 210, only 80 with geforce !
yes, not DDR3 memory, but anyway the difference is too much !
Maybe is it because I used your VGA string?
Ah, definitely for sure! It is always best to generate your own. Use gfxutil method, I'll look for it too to include in the tutorial, but have to sleep now.
You're lucky because it seems we use the same PCI root like I described in my Leo tutorial, but that can vary quite easily. And maybe because mine is GDDR3, and 512gb ram, will most likely not take best use of your card.
How is you audio working?
i'm tring to understand something about the gfxutil metod ... plenty tuts around but also plenty confusion ! This w.e. I will try to do something.
The sound is like in leopard : only 2 speakers no subwoofer.
I didnt try the mic yet.
ok !
I used gfxutil to get my vga hex string and I wrote it down in the com.apple.boot file.
Now I have to modify NVDANV50HAL.kext and NVDAResman with the VGA vendorID & productID : how I can get them?
PS: I dont have windows intalled on my HD anymore
Well.. for me the string was all it took, woke up with vanilla install of SL.
I only needed special kexts for audio and ethernet...
(albeit still have to test lots of stuff like speedstep... my fans are always mid speed, no sleep, no mic in, no vga out...)
So maybe I too need to do that, but I have full QE/CI... dont know how to test openGL properly.
Beware that xbench is far from accurate. Use Geekbench too!
A have SnowOSX Universal 10.6 v3.5 distro and installed it from dvd.
Okej i Restore it to USB and install it from DVD and put the A_Fault_. Folder in the root.
But why must i changed files and must i have another mac and remove the HD from my laptop 6935G.
I installed it from the dvd directly and it worked but the Network and audio didnt work.
So what is the different than your way?
I can install chameleon 2 Rc3 too should it be different? In what way?

Like I said, there are many ways to do things, and since Snow is this young, I prefer to install everything manually to have control. It is very easy to follow, and you will learn how the OS is built up.
Yes, it might have worked ok for you, but might not work for everyone! With my tutorial, the only difference is that it is not pre-patched like your distro to do automated stuff.
Plus, it is already "outdated" as it still uses dsmos. fakesmc is better and faster and way more compatible for most people. Also using chameleon 1 will certainly complicate life of many people.
All in all, basically you get the same thing, except my tutorial, although more "hands on" will certainly offer a better solution. If you stumble across a problem it is WAY easier to identify the cause and fix it, with distro's you are lost if you are not a Terminal ninja.
But, if it worked for you, congratulations! now you only need to find the right kexts for your missing hardware.
@mascal71ok ! I used gfxutil to get my vga hex string and I wrote it down in the com.apple.boot file. Now I have to modify NVDANV50HAL.kext and NVDAResman with the VGA vendorID & productID : how I can get them? PS: I dont have windows intalled on my HD anymore
You can download a linux live cd distro and boot that, extract the info from there. "lspci" command might be what you need. Unfortunately it doesnt come stock with OSX. in Leopard, if you install OSxTools, and click "view hardware" or something like that, it will ask to install the command to Console. Then you can manually run the command at any time. It will be part of most, if not all, linux live CD's and DVD's

HI, Gurriuwiwi...
Okej, I get the picture Gurruwiwi.
I Installed OSX Snow Leopard and it working greate, some trimming to do.
I used folowing kext.
AtlansicL1eEthernet.kext = Networkdriver
VoodooBattery.kext = Batterystatus (buggy)
VoodoHDA.kext
Chameloeon 2 RC3
Used your string for GraphicsCard (Nvidia 6900M GT 512MB) and used the program EFIStudio to write it to com.apple.boot.plist and it worked fine.
So my question is:.
Have you fixed the kext for:
audio
Cardreader
(THIS WORKED FOR ME ON LEOPARD BUT NOT IN SNOW...)
If you have Information please share, what kext do you use for that?
PS: I will look to replace dsmos to fakesmc V2 when i get the information how to do it.
BEST REGARDS / KamalAhmad
Kamal,
Currently I have stopped tweaking my laptop. School has started and I am happy with the way mine is. When more work is being done in the community and I find some time, I will try to refine the little details.
For SD, you can try to put in the card with the computer powered off, the booting. Doesnt always work, but I have managed once or twice.
Audio is working fine here. Except "mic in". I have a pretty good idea how to fix it, but I tried compulsively for 2 straight weeks before school started. Had irrecuperable KP's all the time and had to re-install from scratch many times. It envolves DSDT and AppleHDA patching which is really complicated. I now understand what I was doing wrong, but I don't have the heart to do it now. I have it all nice and set up for productivity. If Voodoo team bring out newer voodoohda, I will try them.
For fakesmc, find the kext (you can download my kext pack), copy it to Extra/Extensions. Then delete dsmos.kext from Extra/Extension. Then run Kext Utility, then Repair Permissions, and reboot.
Thank you for the answer,
I replaced dsmos to fakemc and it worked fine.
My Audio is not working yet. wounder why... maybe missing something.
If i get it working i will start to use my mac and install what I neeed.
Is there any whay to debugg it. you said it have to do with DSDT...
What is the different between the extra folder that chameleon creates? (From the "System/library/extenstions")
Does "extra/extentions" or "extra" loads first?
If you have little time left if you can explain little it would be nice. nice to talk to you.
Greatings KAMAL...
Good GUIDE i have a Extensa 5620Z and followed my own tutorial
here is my guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVan49_Vm_I ↗
I getting an Faild when loading AppleHDA (for sound?).. when booting...
Gurruwiwi or how have an Acer 6935G can somebody help me..
I Need to know witch .kext is used to what...
Can anybody list a list and publich very nice to know what the kext doing ...
HELP...
I have installed the SL atleast 15 times. only to test what hapends when changing kext. and other tings.
BEST REGARDS /KAMAL
Kamal,
Kexts are more or less like windows drivers. Even if you get a Kernel Panic, you can remove it manually, but this is a bit more complicated as you need Terminal language..
You failing audio messages are absolutely normal !
The dsdt information is not correct for OSX (normal), so AppleHDA cannot find audio device.
In Snow Leopard, when installing kexts, right after you copy them into E/E or S/L/E you must ALWAYS run Kext Utility, and the Repair Permissions.
Kext Utilities will rebuild the kext cache, so if you modify any kext, add or delete, you must do this. Kext Utility will repair also, but manually repairing permissions will find new permissions to repair - so do it also.
There is a slight difference between E/E and S/L/E... the first is created ONLY for Chameleon 2 bootloader to have its files and do its thing (like boot options, chameleon skins and also system Extension (kexts)) - and this helps you keep the system tidy.
So, if you update with Software Update, some system files can be replaced/modified by Apple in their original place, so if you keep all your "hack" kexts in E/E, they will always work over S/L/E
There are some rare cases where you need one kext to work with another (dependancies) and sometimes you will have to copy them into S/L/E for the kext to work, but that is rare.
Say audio... you should use VoodooHDA, it overrides AppleHDA, and works with most audio cards.
If Apple were to make, imagine, an iTunes update that also contains AppleHDA upgrade, imagine to add 3D effect or something, it doesn't matter because you will be actually using another kext to activate audio.
Some kexts substitute others (like voodoHDA) - others will work on top of vanilla kexts.
(the term "vanilla" is used for "Apple original not modified")
Hope it is clearer now !
Kj.web
Your video is fantastic and contains alot of hard work! Please dont feel ofended, but there are several thing you do not explain and is a bit confusing for people who have never done it before... Even I dont get some of the steps
Also, it is a bit outdated method and could render many user with inability to run Repair Permissions - talking about using the OSinstall pkg method, Cham 1 etc... there is no need now and dsmos and fakesmc etc have been rebuilt for SL.
Please dot take this the wrong way, but my method is just about the simplest, quickest, easiest and fastest there is... until a proper distro comes out! And even still I will constantly update this thread to accomodate new features, like I managed to make mic in work last night...
But its a damn nice video for the state of SL install progress from before Gold Master so well done !
(I actually had seen your video before when attempting the SL install direct from Leo to external drive...)
Thank you very much. Gurruwiwi, It clear many things out ...
I still dont get the Audio to work..
Then I wonder if it is applePs2Controller.kext and VoodoPS2Controller.kext is the problem if they both are in the extensions at the same time?
If i use both PS2 controller the mouse stop to work cant do much at all. No controll, then i need to boot with -f flag to fix it.
Removed VoodooPS2Controller and have ApplePs2Controller in Extensions map.
Maybe it have to do with SD controller? It dose not work ether..
Dumped my Kext file if it is any help...
SEE My TXT file i dump them in text files …
What is the best for Acer 6935G?
I have all this Kext in my extensions and Extra Extensions is there any problem you can see?
Thank you for all your time ...
I wish i had this working so i can continue to work with my computer... Need only the AUDIO to work then I am very pleased.
Then the other minimal stuff does not bother me.

You have been very good helper in this Forum and, I thank you very much.
KAMAL
No problems. Thanks for your kind words.
You should not be having problems with audio. Lets try to clear some things.
I just found out what I said before is not 100% correct.
For Audio, you ONLY need VoodooHDA in the System/Library/Extensions folder.
First, be sure to download the 64bit version of voodooHDA... you can use the link in Post 1.
In those files, you also have a utility called "Kext Utility". Copy it to desktop.
How to do it;
1 - Manually copy VoodooHDA to System/library/Extension
2 - Check in Extra/Extension you do NOT have any audio kext - if you do, delete it.
2 - run Kext Utility - let it work until it finishes. Open Disk Utilities and Repair Permissions
3 - reboot
Does it work?
Not working...I dont know what im doing wrong.
Downloaded a new kext for VoodooHDA 32/64 versions.
k exts.com/view/22-voodoohda_(32--64-bit).html
Tryed the kext from A_File_Vault too. didnt work.
Put it in the SLE manualy
Deleted the kext from extra/ extensions
Run Kext Util and then waited and runned Repair premissions.
reboted not working.
I getting tired of this some thing is not right maybe you have another card.
This is my specifikation, look att the attachment.
Another thing about the graphic it okej on the computer but if you use HDMI output you get a picture but the quality is not that good like the drivers in windows. But this is another problem maybe it will come better support for it.
KAMAL
Thumbs up for this great guide bro.. I was able to install Snow Leopard in to my HP Dv5 1104tx notebook and now running smoothly
When I was reading the tutorial u mentioned that not to use Western Digital HDDs, I was disappointed (my laptop comes with a WD HDD :and my HDD didn't boot after installation. But after so many trial and error methods, I got it to boot. Now SL is working like a charm!
Thanks again.. (Y)
Kamal, let me get home to check something and we will try another aproach.
Gnate, not all WD are bad. You just have to go to Apple.com and check out which are the bad models. Has to do with spin up and down issues. But then again, they might not have all possible models listed, because I guess they only mention the ones that were issued stock.
It is a good idea to avoid them though.
Gurruwiwi, Bro I got it to work. It didn't boot for the 1st time, but then I could get it to work. Now SL is working like a charm..
Thanks again for the great tutorial (Y)
Ps - Do you know any 64bit IDT audio kext for SL? Please if you know post it. With VoodooHDA only sound-out is working. No mic
There were some IDT audio drivers for Leopard but couldn't find anything for SL.
Hope you find anything who helps me.
Did you see my specification pdf i attatched?
When i use disk util i get this error.
Repairing permissions for “SnowLeo”
ACL found but not expected on "System/Library/Extensions".
Repaired "System/Library/Extensions".

Do you understand anythig of this? Is something not in place? Didnt get it erlier if i remember..
I have not Changed anything like in your tutorial about SUID.. didnt have to in the installations distro i installed from.
Greatings
Kamal
Hey Kamal... I am sorry, I forgot about you. I am not home right now, I promiss tomorrow to try to help you again.
I have the exact same error you do when repairing permissions. I dont know what they are about, but so far i dont find any problems. I dont think it is very important.
Gurruwiwi - Found any solution for 64bit IDT audio? :S
Kamal, try these too!
I dont know what IDT audio is... my card is realtek, but anyways, voodooHDA seems to handle almost all common cards.
Try these I'm uploading, its a folder containing 4 files.
- Delete VoodooHDA, check both Extra/Extension and System/Library/Extensions
- From the folder copy VoodooHDA.kext to S/L/E
- copy "Voodoo HDA Helper" to Applications folder
- Go to System Preferences, Accounts, on the top right click "Login Items" and add "Voodoo HDA Helper" from Applications Folder
- from the folder, run Kext Utility
- Disk Utilities - Repair Permissions
- Reboot
- from folder run VoodooHDA.prefpane
I think that's it !
Hope it works!
Tryed this but no luck getting error msg.
Look at the attatchement.
getting error message at the last step.. - "- from folder run VoodooHDA.prefpane"
Kamal
@KamalAhmadgetting error message at the last step.. - "- from folder run VoodooHDA.prefpane"
I reckon it's caused as VoodooHDA.kext isn't loaded - so just try again to install the PrefPane after restart or check if VoodooHDA kext is loaded with using kextstat on Terminal.
damn, Imkantus, you are 100% right... Kamal, I forgot one step!
Go to System Preferences, Accounts, on the top right click "Login Items" and add "Voodoo HDA Helper" from Application folder
reboot.
I have corrected the previous post!
To load HDA helper on login didnt help but i found the problem..
If you see my erlier posts about what kext i had in my extension library you will see that AppleHDA.kext was in there and it was loaded before VoodoHDA.kext. And when it does It didnt load VoodooHDA.kext so i deleted AppleHDA.kext and then it work like a charm. (Like they say)...
Is it possible to you to send me a list of your kext installed on your 6935g i wounder why my card reader dont work maybe same problem here.
Look at my kext on my attachement maybe i have to many kext how does not need to be there thats why i whant your list of kext to see what you have and what i have so i can strip it.
Best Greatings KAMAL... Finaly AUDIO Works... thanks to Your help Gurruwiwi...
Now we must wait for to fix the mic problem. Have you any idé how to do it? or must we wait for a new version of voodooHDA.kext?
Kamal
I had already mentioned that about AppleHDA a quite a few pages back. I cant remember all the individual solutions, I thought you already knew this. It is also in the tutorial. Anyways...
Did the Voodoohda.prefpane work?
Check in System Preferences, you should have a new plugin called VoodooHDA. You can choose your mic and boost the signal. It might or might not work.
Otherwise, consider yourself lucky! From here you need dsdt.aml patching.
Or, just buy a compatible USB audio card that work native with OSX, or a usb microphone, there are a couple around really cheap, I dont know which, because when I need to record I use an mbox 2
Yes i have the icon in the systems preferences but the mic does not work. have it on the MAX volume. but no luck,
Did you get it to work? There is mic behind the camera. on the 6935g.
How to pach "From here you need dsdt.aml patching". have you any information how to do that.
Kamal
Exactly Kamal, that is the deal with almost everyone. No internal mic. You might have external mic working, test it and play around with the preference pane. If no mic at all, then that is it.
dsdt patching is very difficult and involves making code, decompiling and recompiling with linux. I tried it and nearly went crazy. But when done right, you can make your laptop perfect mac clone (video, ethernet, audio, etc). But, as I have everything covered with kexts there is no need.
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_.k… ↗
IS this anything to think about?
Best regards KAMAL
That is only half the story.
Kamal, read this thread carefully and in detail. By the endc you will understand what is involved to get audio to be perfect.
I didnt manage to do it because at the time I didnt understand the difference between Leo and SL kext caching, so even if had done it right, it would never work.
Probably next holiday break I will attempt to patch dsdt again

If you get the your dsdt patch to work, does your patch work for me? Or must i patch it too?
Is it not the same computer?
Kamal
dsdt works like this, more or less in simple terms,
Bios <-> DSDT <-> Operating System
It is a table of code, extracted from specific Bios information, not only generic (how much RAM) but specific to graphic memory, audio card special features, sleep mode and lot of extra.
OSx reads Bios made for Mac, so dsdt is a little different for PCs, but highly compatible.
You can open up the dsdt and fix all the issues, that part is a bit tricky, but not dangerous at all.
So, unfortunately, yes, you have to make your own dsdt.
But, since our systems are so very similar, most our issues will be the same, so we can share the code for you to fix it too. But you will have to manually insert it yourself.
Unfortunately I have no idea when I will the time and courage to start this task...
Perfekt information...
I will see if i can manage anything of it to day maybe i will succed.
But later to day. Hope it will work.
Decomp.. the dstd file.
the first thing didnt find AZAL maybe it is another thing on 6935g.
Kamal
Mine was AZAL, had to change to HDEF. See, one of the reasons you have to make your own dsdt patch, decompile, fix, recompile.
Then, quick ApplHDA patching and it should work.
Kamal, I do warn you though, that I had SERIOUS issues that made me have to re-install SL all over again. So be sure to back-up all important info.
It is not an easy job, so unless you use Mic In all the time, it would be better just to go out and buy a compatible, cheap, USB headphone with microphone, or just microphone, or a simple USB soundcard.
Send me your file let me see it.
Maybe i looked at wrong place.

Battery Problem
I have an Acer Aspire 6935, it runs perfect with Snow Leopard, but there is one problem.
First I didn't installed it with this tutorial. I installed it from a external Kalyway 10.5.2 Hard Drive.
(Format Hard Drive, Insert Retail DVD, open OSInstall.mpkg, install SL to my Hard Drive ...) and I installed Chameleon RC3 with Terminal to my EFI Partition. Snow Leopard starts, only sound didn't work (now it works with VoodooHDA), but my battery isn't reorganised correctly.
The battery doesn't load... , the system crashes when starting with battery or removing the cable. (Black Screen but Notebook is still running.)
Also Standby or Hibernation isn't working. The Screen goes black but the notebook is still on like the battery error.
That's why I think it's only one error.
Here is a list of my kexts, hope you could help me:
EFI:
voodoops2controller.kext
openhaltrestart.kext
voodoobattery.kext
attansicL1eEthernet.kext
LegacyAppleAirportBrcm4311.kext
fakesmc.kext
PlatformUUID.kext
SLE:
VoodooHDA.kext
Any idea which kext is missing?
Kamal - ok, here you go, let me know what you find out! Anyone finding this post, unless you have my exact and perfectly same model, do NOT use this for your installations!
Drakulix,
The sleep/hibernation problem is one of the most common problem for everyone. The only way to fix this properly is to manually patch the dsdt.aml file, just like Kamal is trying for audio. So please refer back a couple of posts back for some info.
This is one of my goals too, basically, sleep and mic in are the final thing I need to have to perfect clone of a macbook pro. But I dont have much time for this at the moment.
About the battery manager. I too have experienced KP when taking out the power plug and running the battery. But that happened like, once only! Since then, stable and good readings. I would suggest you run Kext Utility app and repair permissions.
Hi Gurriwiwi..
I used your dsdt.aml file and it works.
Worked like my org. dsdt.aml file i used before..
Did you change anything in your dsdt.aml file?
This is my org. dsdt.aml file in the attatchment.. Im using yours dsdt.aml file know.
Does that mean that you have exact my model.
Kamal
Glad to hear it! But what do you mean, you have mic in now?
Yes, I changed the AZAL entry to HDEF, so that AppleHDA (patched) or Voodoo recognize it.
No, it doesn't mean we have the same model ( I dont have blue-ray, graphic specs are very different for instance 1GB gddr2 vs 512 gddr3)) but since it so close, it worked... For instance, your audio might have worked but could be left without graphics.
Imagine you used a dsdt from another brand or entirely different Acer line, you might not be able to even boot
great news!
EDIT: Oh, ok I understand now, you have audio just like with your own original dsdt. That is to be expected, as with Chameleon and special kexts, most of modern computers work 95%. It is the special features that fail, like wake/sleep/hiberbation, microfone/spif 5.1, external monitor or HDMI, ethernet for some people, etc... For that, you have to manually patch your dsdt
Okej... I returend to my DSDT. Your DSDT worked but no mic.
The problem i DIDNT find ASAL in the unpacked the aml file. Where did you find it?
Kamal
Post your specs rabalder, if its pretty "standard" this guide will serve you well !
aspire 9815

2 x 200gb samsung sata
This should be my specs
rab
No problems with specs except wifi card. Incompatible. You can easily swap it very cheap, or use usb wifi sticks.
Read the guide carefully, you should have no problems... if you do, we're here to help out
keep posting!
sorry, but i have a problem, I hava an ACER 8930g, my processore il quadcore q9000 at 2.0 Ghz but SL recognize it only at 1.69 Ghz.
I try with cpu-z and i see that the multiplier is blocked at 6 instead 7.5.
someone have the same problem, or know a solution for this problem?
can depend to a wrong speedstep kext?
sorry for my english

alexv,
Si, pruebalo! tienes que leer bien el tutorial, pero no es muy dificil !
Hola,
Gracias, ya lo he conseguido. Lo unico que no he podido es que mi tarjeta de sonido solo funciona en stereo.
tengo una alc888/1200 y no encuentro la manera.
Me puedes ayudar?.
Gracias.
any rumors about in mic
Hello! Got this laptop in week ago. Good for OSX 10.6.2 , but two bad things: only out mic with VoodoHDA and bag video perform with strings. Any rumors about int mic?
alexv,
tendras que editar tu dsdt para coregir el 5.1. Es una pesadilla, pero no es dificil. Eso, o esperar por algun avanzo en el voodooHDA o otro kext. O entonces, en casa, una trajetita usb compatible no soluciona. lamentablemente, no puedo ayudar mas que esto...
Iven,
about mic, sorry. Either voodooHDA development, or dsdt fixing, which is very complicated.
are you absolutely sure the hardware specs are the same? the slightest difference in video card and my string may very well not work properly. Either go for NVDarwin and or several others around, you'll have to search. Re-read the part about video in my tutorial. The absolute best is generating your own string, which is very very easy, but... the first time I saw it I almost fainted !
http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=222.0 ↗
FORGET ABOUT THE REST OF THE THREAD ! YOU WILL GO MAD !
stick to the first post, and I'll a bit more. After the last RED highlighted text,
- open "graphics.hex" with text edit app
- copy the string to your com.apple.Boot.plist, explained in my tutorial !
- Delete any video kexts you might have installed to try to fix it
- Repair Permissions
- Reboot
Hey ... Happy new year!
Anybody did update to 10.6.2 ?
Yes I did... on my brand new Dell mini 10v !
Gave this Acer laptop to my Dad for x-mas! I actually built a Flight Simulator X rig, including cockpit, dual screen, without OC'ing, this laptop runs BETTER than full blown desktop counterparts!
AMAZING ! Get better FPS, stabler, wow!
Building a i7 rig next, but not to hack... for serious production suit. My 10v covers my Apple needs.
Waiting to check on that iSlate thingie around the corner...
Hey, I've read this thread and I'm running 10.6.2 64bit in my aspire 8930G, it is working great (except for minor things like mic in). For the wifi i'm using the dell 4930 mini pcie card which works out of the box!
The only thing I was wondering is if someone can give me some tips on getting the sleep to work properly... (if that is possible)...
Upgrading to 10.6.2
So I followed this guide and was able to successfully install Snow Leopard on both my Acer 6930 and Acer 5735 (no video drivers tho for the 5735). Everything works on both of them great until I try and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
Once it is done install I get an error message at start up. (I took a picture of the screen). It happens on both laptops but I have read that most people (besides netbooks) can install this upgrade without any problems. Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Cappy

You need the updated sleepenabler.kext

Thanks damnesiac! I just followed the guide above and am up to date.
Super post on SL on 6935g, thanks, but as didn't have another mac I had to use a SnowOX universal to start it off.
I followed your instructions on setting up graphics card on my 6935g 1080p machine, but failed to get the external VGA out working when the device-properties key with your graphics hex.
Funnily enough,if I don't use any graphics device key, I can use VGA out but as you know resolution and GPU is not used properly.
Any solutions anyone?
Would really appreciate your help as have an external monitor I desperately need to use.
PLEEAASSE PLEEEAASEEE SOMEONE solve my VGA out problem on 6935g after this snow leopard installation. Would really appreciate some help or pointing me in the right direction, desperately want to plug in an external monitor

VGA Confusion
I also have a 6935g with 512mb 9600, adding your string to the boot.plist worked fine. but ive noticed that a few people have mentioned having full QE CI support. when I check mine in "about this mac" there is no mention of Quartz Extreme or CI, i remember on 10.5 and below it used to say supported or not supported.
I'm asking because I installed oblivion and It seems to be working fine except for no 3d graphics, the hud is there the cut scenes play and i have audio? I can hear footsteps when i use the arrow keys.
I was planning to use this as my primary operating system but I cant with no 3D
Any help would be nice, thank you
I'm running into a few issues here, mainly with creating the USB installer.
I don't have access to any machines running (snow) leopard, and i can't create a virtual environment within windows 7 or ubuntu because i can't enable hardware acceleration without modding the bios.
I have a 6935g, more or less the same internals as the one you're using.
However, i do have an old dual usb ibook g3 running tiger, so i didn't think creating the usb would be a problem. I used your guide to creating the installer word for word, but my laptop never seems to want to boot off the usb even with the bios set to boot from it.
I'm just wondering where i'm going wrong, i thought i went wrong by leaving the partition scheme as "apple partition map" so i created the usb again using "Master Boot Record" thinking that'd solve my problem, but it didn't, and for some strange reason, the ibook just hangs when i try to use GUID as a partition scheme, although it didn't when i partitioned the seagate drive i'll be using to install os x onto.
One strange thing i noticed while creating the installer, is when i got as far as installing Chameleon 2 onto the usb, it didn't create an "extra" folder, even when all files were made visible.
Sorry for the long post, but do you've any idea where i'm going wrong?
@danenzxlfinally got sleep fully working ...instal sleepenabler.kext 10.6.4(no need for k.flag pmVersiom) restart sleep fully working on 64 bit mode org kernel darwin10.4.0,for video and audio pick nvenabler and voodoohda-on wake everything working no probl. now only thing not working for me is internal microfone and card reader
latest VoodoHDA 2.7.2 gives me internal mic (for first time) on my Acer 6920g, you can try. now comes with a nice installer/updater package
no luck at all for my card reader (have tried many) but my solution for now is an Expresscard adapter card reader (cheap generic one off ebay) which sits flush in the otherwise unused slot. in my original (non-working) card reader i keep an SD to micro SD adapter so all is well :
i have the sleep enabler 10.6.4 but when i try to sleep it instantly wakes. i think there is a kext which is loaded to do just that, anyone tell me which one it is so i can disable it to try sleep?
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Does anyone know what kexts I need to get the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT to support QE/CI and VGA out (OS X 10.6.7)? I added the code but that didn't help. I am able to get 256 of my 512 MB of VRAM to be recognized and 1440 x 900 resolution. This is without NVEnabler or NVEnabler 64. When I add those with NVDANV50Hal it stops at the end of the verbose boot.
