[GUIDE] 4 n00bs with laptops! (-Specially crafted for Acer Gemstone 6935G-)

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.

Hi Gurruwiwi,

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".
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

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

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.

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

[Gurruwiwi]

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!

Look at the attatchement.


getting error message at the last step.. - "- from folder run VoodooHDA.prefpane"
Best regards

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.

[Gurruwiwi]

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!

[KamalAhmad]

Hi Gurruwiwi,

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...
