Well, it's in the Software Update to be precise. Works fine on my AMD hackintosh, no problems so far. Tell me, do you also think that the new icon (and even the whole interface) looks awful ?

I see there are DSDT fixes that make OS X detect EHCI and UHCI controllers as "built-in" and make you able to wake up your hackintosh by eg. clicking or pressing a key on keyboard. My question is if there are any DSDT fixes for OHCI…

I've been using the "hidden EFI partition" to keep my bootloader's files for some time. It's a quite nice and "clean" solution, although there's one disadvantage - every time you want to install new theme etc. you need to go to terminal,…

“AFAIK on the fly patching for x86_64 works just fine but the media programs (QuickTime in 64bit) crash because there are no Supplemental SSE3 instructions available. The only solution is running it in 32bit mode (Get Info, check "run in 32b…”

“@bltz : I think they've dropped support for AMD processors in VoodooPower some time ago. And even when they did support AMD it wasn't always working good. If you want to boot in 64-bit mode use "-force64" flag (without "arch=...").”

“OK, I've applied your patch, and now I can run x86 applications while in x64 mode ( so I can also use more than 4 GB of RAM ). The weird thing is that the kernel doesn't identify itself as x64 if you boot with "-force64" (eg. in System Prof…”

“Same thing here, on my AMD Phenom II based pc : it doesn't boot without "patcher_opts=2" and in x64 mode (forced with -force64) I cannot launch x86 applications.”

“Run QuickTime in 32-bit mode. When you run it's x64 version it assumes that your CPU has SSSE3 instruction set (which is not present on AMD cpus yet), and uses these instructions for decoding video. Try the same with Starcraft, it may have …”

“I guess there's even a better way to boot with HD4850 without removing other kexts, but anyway I'm glad you finally got it working Get sound kext here : VoodooHDA. I tried patching DSDT and modifying original AppleHDA, but it doesn't work -…”

“OS X has drivers for many graphics card installed by default, but you usually need to make the system recognize your gpu (by using enablers, efi strings or injecting info into DSDT). Another thing : boot into safe mode and check in "System …”

“Here you go. Don't care about the "bt(0,0)" in some lines, I'm using hidden partition to store my kernel, DSDT and some other stuff, and it tells the bootloader to load them from this partition. Snow Leopard booted fine without DSDT patched…”

“That's weird. What about booting with "-f -x32" or "-f arch=i386" ?”

“Maybe one of the cores you've unlocked isn't OK (so AMD locked it and sold the processor as dual core). Try turning off ACC and set the multiplier to default value (it was x16, right?).”

“Have you tried installing SL Client-Server with only kernel and EvoLegacyRTC yet ? Anyway, here are my BIOS settings (sorry for the quality, I don't have my camera at the moment).”

“By retail install I mean buying Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD, booting it with Empire EFI, Chameleon or sth similar and simply installing it. When you install SL from distro, you should select only the most important patches and kexts, …”

“I am using SL on this mobo. First I got it working with "Snow Leopard Client-Server 10.6.2 SSE2/SSE3 Intel AMD", then I installed from retail DVD. Which kexts/patches/kernel have you selected during install of SL Client-Server ?”

“Fully 64-Bit coded App would have been nice as well - maybe in v11... They would have to rewrite iTunes using Cocoa instead of Carbon to make it 64-bit (there's no 64-bit api for Carbon), so I guess it'll take a while...”

“I've downloaded AppleUSBOHCI sources, and it looks like it generally checks if there's "AAPL,clock-id" present. If it's not it turns off power management for this OHCI controller and shows it as expansion card instead of built-in. Just like…”

“I've tried leaving only the "Name( ... )| as you said, but no effect. I've also tried making the "OHC" device look more like the one in nv based MacBook But that also doesn't work. I guess it needs something more, but I can't figure out wha…”

“#1. Just use the Maxxuss Patcher GUI instead of AMD Patcher, it's the easiest way and everything should be OK. To check if CPUIDs were patched successfully, simply launch iTunes and check if there are no blank windows (when I launched it wi…”

“Download 10.6.4 Combo Update from Apple Website. Install it, but don't reboot your PC yet. Download kernel from this thread : osx 86.net/f36/10-4-0-xnu-kernel-for-intel-amd-t6268/ and install it using it's installer. Now reboot and if it bo…”

“Install retail on another partition using your Leo's installation.”

“Did you get AppleHDA working with ALC889A on AMD mobo or did you use VoodooHDA ?”

“Mine works only on Snow Leopard, in Leopard it gives me a kernel panic during "connecting to steam account".”

“If there's one present in "/Extra/", then it's used by Chameleon instead of the one in "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration". It's quite normal on hackintoshes.”

“Just type in your password and press enter. Terminal doesn't show it, so no one can read it.”

“There's no use in booting in 64-bit mode on AMD processors, because currently there aren't any kernels patched for AMD, which would allow to run 32-bit applications in 64-bit mode. When it comes to sound - you won't see anything in "Audio (…”

“Type "-v" when on chameleon screen, then press enter.”

“There are problems with PS/2 devices, so buy any USB keyboard and mouse. I'm using one of Logitech's usb wireless keyboards and a no-name USB mouse and they both work fine with OS X. Or you can buy Apple's wireless keyboard and mighty/magic…”

“You need X58 mobo for i7 920 (LGA 1366), you chose P55, which is for LGA 1156 processors (like i7 860 or i5 750). So you have to change either motherboard or processor to get it working. The rest seems to be OK.”

“What do you use to get the sound working ?”
