Snow Leopard AppleHDA / HDAEnabler kext help

[gi1gamesh]

neither sleep nor shutdown work properly yet. I am using VoodooPS2Controller for the keyboard and VoodooPS2Trackpad for the touchpad along with VoodooBattery for the battery meter and NVkush for the video.

Looks like my microphone doesn't work with the applehda.kext I'll have to do some reading to see if I can figure out how to fix it. Still very happy to have audio output though.

you guys welcome

I'm gonna try and get sleep,shutdown, and maybe internal mic working this week. If I have success I'll post the steps.

I was able to get Sleep and restart working with a combination of EvoReboot along with the EHCI and USB DSDT Fix. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...&#entry1247462

I also applied some changes to the lid function in DSDT. Shutdown however is still not working properly.

Please make sure to backup your DSDT before applying mine.

Thank you aschar for straightening out my compile errors.

Much Thanx to chadp1a for finding a solution for sound !! I musta been lookin for a month THANK YOUUU ! Im running a 6831 with the myhack usb installer (its the best one ive found so far) when i updated to 10.6.2 using standalone and plugged in HDMI the screen would freeze so i used the 10.6.1 NVDANV50Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext to get it workin again !! here they are if anyone needs em.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8EVX9G3K

REkLiSS Do you have any issues with shutdown?

When I choose shutdown the machine executes Halt but the lights and fans keep on running. I've let the machine sit overnight in this state and it gets fairly warm so I'm guessing other things are left powered.

I've tried, Openhaltrestart, Evoreboot, and removing AppleHDA.kext (some suggested it caused shutdown issues.) None of which seemed to allow for a proper 'Soft Off' state.

It seems like S5 is not being initiated by the OS or it's somehow getting messed up in translation in the DSDT maybe?

Anyone have a suggestion?

Do you have GraphicsEnabler=yes in you boot plist? If so this is causing the problem. Only deal is I don't know why. If I set it to No laptop will shutdown properly. I have tried using another injection method such as nvinject etc.. but I do not get transparency in the menu bar.

I am using NVkush.kext and not using the GraphicsEnabler string. However, I did find that if I remove NVkush.kext the machine shutsdown properly. I guess for now I'll choose to have nice graphics and hold down the power button for shutdown.

Do any of you have your camera working properly? Mine works by using Camtwist. I can use it with photobooth and if you tell Camtwist to be enabled by application it works with Skype Also.

So I guess I have a nearly complete Hackint0sh. Only things not quite perfect are Shutdown and Mic.

I can use a USB Mic if needed and holding down the shutdown button is no biggie.

Theres still the problem with the eSATA controller not working tho, I use it alot and would love to have it running on snow.

On a side note ps2pk mentioned in an earlier post that he wanted to put out a guide for the FX series. I propose we all put out our own sort of mini guide with a semi-detailed description of everything we used eg: install guides, methods, extra kexts, workarounds, DSDTs, ect. I think that this would greatly benefit not only us but the entire FX Hackintosh community. I'm gonna start workin on mine as soon as i post this ! I look foward to hearing everyones ideas ;-P

Took me a little while to finish this I had some family issues. Anyways here it is my P-6831/6860FX Snow Leo 10.6.2 Hackint0sh guide (Aside from eSATA, Intel Wifi, internal mic and proper shutdown these are not currently working):

* To start I used Conti's Myhack USB installer on a 16GB flash drive from a restored dmg image of 10.6 using disk utility, this is by far the most current, and thorough method that I have used. It allows for an all-digital install which virtually eliminates the possibility of burn errors or faulty media. It also uses the latest Chameleon (RC3). Heres the link-
http://osx86.sojugarden.com
here are the options I chose in myhack:
* com.apple.Boot.plist
* GraphicsEnabler - Adds GraphicsEnabler = Y to com.apple.Boot.plist for Full QE/CI Support
* AHCIPortinjector.kext
* AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext & IOATAFamily.kext
* PS2Controller
* FakeSMC.kext
* JMicronATA.kext
* LegacyAppleRTC.kext
* NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
* OpenHaltRestart.kext
* PlatformUUID.kext
* Sleepenabler.kext

* Installed ATools_Snow.pkg extracted From the SnowOsx leopard Universal v3.6 (10.6.2) distro from dan1234. It has a ton of useful utilities and kexts . You can probably find ATools pkg if you do a bit of googling but i already had the distro. You can find the iso here-
http://www.mechodownload.com/forum/m...ree-Hosts.html

* I used this guide along with the standalone combo update to upgrade to 10.6.2-
http://prasys.co.cc/2009/11/tutorial-upgrading-to-osx-10-6-2/

*** I deleted Sleepenabler.kext (after update but before boot-up from another computer running windows 7 with Macdrive 8)
* For sound (FINALLY!) I used Gilgamesh's and chadp1a's recompiled DSDT along with chadp1a's AppleHDA.kext found here- http://www.infinitemac.com/attachmen...7&d=1260141640 and here http://www.mediafire.com/?twheytziwho

* To enable HDMI without screen freezing i used NVDANV50Hal.kext & NVDAResman.kext from 10.6.1 found here-
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8EVX9G3K

* To fix the memory read error in system profiler i used SMBIOSResolver.kext found in ATools

* I used EvOSpeedStep.kext, EvOreboot.kext and VoodooBattery.kext all from ATools

* This is a semi-fix/workaround i used for the webcam
install CamTwist 2.1 found here- http://allocinit.com/images/b/b6/CamTwist-2.1.dmg
Launch the Program
In preferences > video devices force the resolution to 320x240 on the "USB 2.0 camera"
In the box Step 1: Choose a video source, double click "Webcam"
Select nothing else, at least for now (unless you want effects)
Keep the program open, and relaunch Skype (for example) in skypes preferences > video
Instead of choosing "USB 2.0 camera" as the camera (can't, because it is in use by CamTwist) - choose "CamTwist"

*****Ok thats my install. If anyone has any ideas, questions, or possible solutions to eSATA, IntelWifi, internal mic and proper shutdown, please post them. I'm looking forward to hearing everyones feedback.
