UPDATE March 12, 2010: sold my ES2L Quicksilver PowerHack a few weeks back so my last update on this guide... it's been fun guys since we started this thread (August 17, 2009 - it all starts on Leopard thread here).. i'm sure we will bump…

UPDATE : (9/4/09) Video added on Youtube or direct download for better resolution. my snow leopard retail DVD just came in and upon unboxing it i thought why cant i install it using BOOT 132 instead of restoring it to an 8gb flashdrive? so…

“ES2l Kil (media fire.com/?0dgkywotnzm) is not available, could anyone help ? today march 12, updated the ES2L kit + dsdt with all the current fixes.. old kit can still be downloaded in the first page. HTH.”

“I did the 10.6.2 combo update from a fresh install. Removed the old sleepenabler and installed the new one before rebooting. Everything seems to work well except I get a message that my external hdd wasn't properly ejected when I wake the c…”

“Thanks for the guide, I Got 10.6.2 working great so far, but I was wondering if anyone could reffer me to a good guide for enabling native speed stepping. here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181631&st=0&start=0 and he…”

“i cant find "RTC with 0x04 & Azalia" in my dsdt.dsl file. but why ? what i do wrong ? :-! for RTC search for "PNP0B00" instead, you'll end up with this below, change 0x04 to 0x02. for Azalia search AZAL or "0x001B0000", change it to hdef by…”

“One other question... How safe is using software update in 10.6? There have been some pretty significant updates and I'm just wondering the risk factor when installed from a retail disc. it's safe to update from 10.6.0 to 10.6.2 provided th…”

“I just got it from the original post of "FormerlyknownAs" here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181631 It is the last link of the first post. I just installed it at /S/L/E repaired permissions, cleared cache. Restarted …”

“Great! Quick Q ... does the myHack installer put stuff into EFI partition? Tkx! if you are talking about the hidden EFI partition then NO, install it manually instead with just 3 terminal commands or RC2.pkg that's what im using right now i…”

“guide updated again to base an RC3+PCEFI 10.3 install and updated kext.. made a short guide too in creating your own DSDT using DSDT-SE.. credits to all who found/create all the apps, kext and fixes.. enjoy ISSUES im having: - Automatic Sle…”

“I couldnt read all the post so please forgive me if its already answered Were you guys able to get the onboard graphics working? Full resolution and QE support? If so please give me some sort of a guide or tip… AFAIK it's not working so buy…”

“I'm a bit confused about the PleaseSleep appliation... I don't have PleaseSleep and my sleep seems to work fine, as in my computer turns itself off in, say 20 minutes. It turns on my fast after this, thus I assume it went to sleep. Am I mis…”

“you can also check this automated installer created by Conti, this will install RC3 + PC EFI 10.3 including the kext needed except for our alc883 audio, for permission and creating Extensions.mkext check this too (again created by Conti), i…”

“@sk1nhd33t Do you fee like being even more generous and sharing your menu-hilite.gif, menu-off.gif, and menu-on.gif? Right now I use a 22x22 pixel transparent gif. google iAnderw's menubar icons (should be in devianart) to download the icon…”

“PleaseSleep cant be hidden even if you tick hide on startup so what i did was change it's menubar icon, at least now i dont see a tricolor "Zzz" icon and it matched other icons in my menubar pleasesleep is the icon before MainMenu (eraser i…”

“How do I know Chameleon is installed correctly on the USB? Is there some file or directory I can check for? I tried the manual install of RC3, but I couldn't boot from it. In boot selection I tried everything (USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-FLOPPY).…”

“Great guide sk1nhd33t, thank you for taking the time to write it up. Quick question, how long should it take to restore the SL dvd to the thumb drive? I've tried it as per the instructions on my 10.5.8 hackintosh and from my macbook but it …”

“@sk1nhd33t I started to use the Netkas 10.3 EFI & also the newest fakesmc kext everything working as before but my system profile didn't show like yours ... my PCI list is empty ... and I have to switch back to use EFI string for my nVidia …”

“@BlaSTiWi re: Chameleon, yea i forgot that too that RC3 doesnt have an official pkg yet, i installed mine using terminal that's why and for some reason RC1 and RC2 errors out at the end. Still choose either automatic injection or EFI string…”

“@sk1nhd33t I'm a bit confuse ... I thought swappin' the "boot" file is basically switchin' the binary ... If I recall correctly I'm using RC2 as the base install since it's the only one that has ability to use EFI partition while the RC3 ha…”

“@dooododoo i believe that message you quoted is really old and AFAIR could be a month back, the good thing though is you read the whole thread to answer your question, booting 64bit or 32bit kernel (-x32 in PC EFI arch=i386 in Chameleon) re…”

“@BlaSTiWi dont know why it suddenly shows but that's just what i did, change to EFI 10.3 + RC3 and add this on my boot.plist as exactly on the p1 screenshot. EthernetBuiltIn y GraphicsEnabler y it's purely cosmetic though so either EFI stri…”

“Why do people keep linking to RC1? RC2 and RC3 have been released. I believe I've been using RC3. Is there something RC1 does better? either of the 3 will work including PC EFI, the reason that i didnt use RC3 in this tutorial is because im…”

“@Stoerte install it manually instead or google dr. hurt's RC3.pkg and use it together with netkas new PC EFI v10.3. edit: here's a very easy to follow guide to manually install Chameleon , just replace PC EFI boot file on step 8. dowload th…”

“Thanks for your update to this great guide, new files worked fine. I wonder, what is the purpose of making your own mkext file? I don't have one on my EFI partition, would it make the boot time shorter if I had? Another thing I discovered j…”
