Use this guide to avoid the Disk Utility Packages issue and Kernel Panics, especialy in 64bit (related to permissions) It's mainly focused on Intel desktops but I guess when you apply your own custom kexts it can be used for laptops too.…

Just wondering if anyone has 5.1 sound working in Snow (or Leo for that matter) Not digital out but normal surround via the 3 analog ports. If so could you share the method please (DSDT, kext) UPDATE : Solved thx to all for your input,…

Update 04/10/09 Slic posted a (hopefully) proper solution for enabling read/write support in SL so I'm pasting his info here How to enable built-in support for writing to NTFS, once and forever. 1. Open terminal and type this command: sudo…

To avoid using the PlatformUUID kext to fix Error 35 I want to patch my dsdt with Ethernet. I'm going to provide some screens to replace the words. Should I just replace the whole PEX5 section or only add the code to it? My dsdt Code to…

k exts.com/view/78-evosx86_dsdt_editor.html Not tried it myself but looks proper.

Messed up my Leopard install (on other HD, first partition) trying to remove some unneeded kexts to the point where I got KP's. Now, the best I could get was halt at "Still waiting for root device" after UUID & USB msgS. I've replaced…

It's been ages since I've ran into issues with my hack install so I don't know if I'm outdated with my kexts etc. The latest Pro App Update seem to have broken reboot on my rig. I'm using the OpenHaltRestart kext. Any idea lads? Thx much…

Eddie, you seem to have the biggest brains around here and make alternative kexts so here goes. I still have the ALC850 6/2 channel bug and hope you can write an alternative kext for it. Problem is that whenever I boot Logic or Garageband…

Last night my rig woke up a few times on its own. I have no schedule in energy saver prefs. I checked Console and this came up: This happend 5 times every 1hour 50mins or so. Any ideas? I have an ical alarm set for today but which starts…

Hope you guys can help me with this one Mar 18 10:35:11 d54C18B21 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup failed with error: 18 Mar 18 10:41:56 d54C18B21 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[305]: Backup requested due to disk…

I have this weird issue with having random panics when using the TAB key to switch fill-in fields in Safari, for example using the TAB key to switch from username to the password field. Any idea what may cause this? could this be USB…

Could anyone help me out with these panics I get whenever I try to update a driver or install software that updates or installs kexts. For instance, I get this with Little Snitch and just now again with the new HP driver (2.5.2) Both…

After installing the new update I have a new issue with permissions. Translation from above: Warning: SUID-file 'System/Lib...gent' is modified and will not be repaired. Found this thread related so its a known problem:…

How would I repair permissions and rebuild kext from Snow Leopard to Leopard? I've tried mkextmaker but I still can't get in, probably related to permissions.

In windows when I put my rig to sleep it also puts the modem on standby, how would I achieve this in mac? Got disable sleep for network unchecked so that isn't the reason. Is there a dsdt command maybe?

I gave up on AMD cause I was fed up with putting all my time into getting a fully working AMD install. It was close to perfection but the crashes and patching after every major app install is not a fun way to use OSX. I've been with AMD…

Photoshop seems to crash a lot lately (happens more often the longer I use it) It's not just a crash, after adobe quits to desktop my other apps freeze (itunes for instance) and then the whole pc freezes shwing the spinning logo and I have…

I just finished the EFI GFX guide on wikidot for my 7800GT and it worked on the first try. Attached is the com.apple.Boot.plist for those who have the same card. Just replace it into your /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ dir and…

“This really sounds like the wrong Sleepenabler is being used m8, make sure it's 64bit version and install again using KextUtility. Don't install from Leo and def not reinstall BSD.pkg. Kexts needed: fakesmc/NullCPUPowerManagement/OpenHaltRe…”

“I also had KP's with wake after installing faksmc kext. I also removed OpenHaltRestart & SleepEnabler to check if there were still needed. I've then put them both back and only replaced dsmos and all was good again. I had to use kextutility…”

“I also tested fakesmc and its a good replacement for dsmos. Faster boot since it doesnt have to wait for dsmos (check verbose mode to confirm)”

“I'm using SleepEnabler.kext, dsmos.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, PlatformUUID.kext and VoodooHDA.kext. The sleep works in Leopard and SL x32 (i use SleepEnabler.kext in both), but KP in x64. I asked to a member wi…”

“No issues here with practicaly same mobo so it isnt SleepEnabler related m8. Are you using all the kexts provided in this (or my) guide?”

“Odd since I dont need any ATA related kexts installed with my board. Maybe try to copy your Leopard IOATAFamily kext into extras folder (if you are using a custom one that is) but make sure you use 32bit when installing. It could be drive r…”

“When installing from USB drive? I had to use -x32 flag because installing from 64bit would panic.”

“sk1nhd33t, thx a lot for your proper guide m8, I have made another one based on yours but slightly changed. I'm now 3 hours and a half in 64bit and no panics I always figured the USB install method would be best since you are installing fro…”

“Check the other (specific related) thread m8 and try my suggestion. No Installer Packages .. I still get KP in 64bit but x32 seems fine. What kexts did you use? (since I have GA-P35-DS3P) Do not reinstall the BSD package though since it did…”

“Is the lag still there because I've got iTunes running but haven't got a hitch (so far) Anyway, try this one, I've added the code to the working 10.6.2 kext. Update: Seems to be there although even less obvious then pre 10.6.2 so trying the…”

“I'm glad my guide could help, I wanted it to be more specific since I also hit a wall with other guides. My 8800GT is a 512MB version but I don't use a GFX EFI string anyway since I've included this is the DSDT file. Other then GFX you coul…”

“I've got a P-35DS3P rev2.0 board m8 which uses another BIOS. I've got the latest F12 installed. Both SL and Win 7 boot fast so no issues. Glad my guide could be of help to you m8 My DSDT: media fire.com/?djjyr0ztkdn”

“@ Why go MBR anyway m8? Windows on same disk? @ Rootus, try adding -x (safe mode) to boot and try Chameleon 2 RC1 with Boot 10.1: media fire.com/?mytlwh2jymz”

“rapid share.com/files/276809840/com.apple.Boot.plist.zip.html mega upload.com/?d=R056JRFJ I won't add these links to the guide because, well, the bloody link still works like it should so check your internet.”

“I remember using EasyBCD, good app indeed, but like DocShadow mentioned, Chameleon should detect all your operating systems properly and boot into them. I'm using Chameleon 2 RC1 and it detects Snow Leo, Leo and Win 7 x64. The only issue yo…”

“Allright, got the installer running now , used another dldt.aml that was already patched. Think that was the problem. But now the only thing is that the installer doesn't recognize my internal hard drives. Only the USB. So I have nowhere to…”

“Hi Snow ! I am happy to announce that your guide works like a charm with my laptop. I want to give you 20 thumbs up, but I only have two Your guide not only was the only one so far to work, but is so well thought out it was also the only gu…”

“I have update my guide with UUID method and provided template smbios & comappleboot plist files. Hope that gets you further in the process m8, good luck! @Jtillwick I do not recommend installing this way and thats exactly why I built this g…”

“since you use the same mainboard as I do: how did you enable sound? I used a 64Bit version of VoodooHDA.kext and I'm now able to change the volume and the Sound preferencepane shows several outputs, but none of them work. Am I missing somet…”

“Ouch, sad to hear that m8, must not work for Nforce and/or AMD then. I'll edit the guide to 'Intel only' when more users confirm non working. Besides my guide I can't really help you out with that system m8. I had an AMD rig once but it was…”

“Alright, I'm glad it worked out well for you guys. I've also Updated the guide with IOHCIBlockStorageInjector (fix HD icons) and FakeSMC (replace dsmos but experimental) kexts. Laters”

“Not specific for Gigabyte, I dont think so. Use your own kexts but follow the guide for install method. I want to keep the Packages & KP info and the title is at its max size so I won't be editing yet m8. Actualy when looking back and with …”

“Can you / or anyone else upload this AppleHDA.kext again ? I tried to unzip it on 4 machines ( 3 macs , pc ) and all of them failed Woops, I thought you asked if someone could upload "his" AppleHDA.kext I upped mine so it will be for ALC889…”

“Can't help you there m8, I'm not using mic, sorry.”

“man... lost the pleasure to adjust volume from the keyboard... Indeed! I'm using Creative T5400 speakers with a wired volume/bass control so luckily don't need it.”

“Correct Mormegilski Adjust these sliders: Added to guide too”

“ok I think it's best to remove the guide since it doesn't seem to work for anyone. It's that or the one who do get helped don't post back. What you think Morm? It's like since I've posted the guide you got another full time job solving this…”

“As the guide suggests this is for 889a and even then some people have issues with that codec so for the moment I cannot help you with that. As for VM I use Parallels 5 in Snow Leopard 64bit running Windows 7 64bit without issues (except may…”

“I'm just letting Mormegil do his thang haha, he knows a lot more then me about this. Question though Mormy, is my guide any help to others, since you mention my prepatched already has a lot of code. They just have to replace that section ri…”

“Gurru, I've added a small guide so try again and post back with result. Go step by step and let me know if I need to adjust a thing or two. Good luck lad!”

“I've tried to mod your dsl file but it even gives me more errors (6) so I'm afraid I cannot help you with this m8.”

“Error isn't ok since it doesn't output an aml file m8. Is it DTGP related? (check log) because if so go back a few pages for a fix.”

“Alright bro, I'll try that after lunch. Also, 5.1 in quicktime seems to be fixed with Perian audio options set to Multi-channel output. Positional sound is quiet good too I might add. And another question, would adding my 8800GT to the dsdt…”

“Small observation, the sound indeed is far too low and I have to turn the volume way up, so much I start to hear noise (normal with analog setup I guess) Update: and that my friend seems to be fixed by setting db to 0 for the line-outs in a…”

“Well the streams you get at default setting. I had to switch rears for center/sub. But the 3/4 back and 5/6 center/sub makes more sense anyway. I'll have to change my audio in windows back to onboard or its silent gaming. When KX 64bit supp…”

“Alright 5.1 works, thx a lot for files n guidance bro! This seems to be the proper setting for streams in my case. I bet with a slight change in pinconfiguration the default setting would already work but this configuration actually makes m…”

“Christ sake, I just tried again and thought I heard some noise in the background, turned volume up a bit (My presonus FW interface seems to output louder) and now I do get sound. Thats a proper noob act man. Alright so stereo seems to be wo…”

“Ok I added the DTGP part to dsdt and it compiled properly. Rebooted, had a few panics and non boots but after repairing permissions & mkext I booted into x64. Now, I have the 3 line-outs, made a device for the outputs but I get no sound wha…”

“Alright, thx m8, will try this tomorrow. I'll post back with update. The only issue for me is the dsdt because iasl cannot seem to compile it properly (doesnt even output aml file) I'll get to it tomorrow lads, thx again!”
