the title says it all. more here support.apple.com/kb/HT3606

Any kexts like natit or anything patched/custom out already?

now after some of us have used it for some time what do you think? (objective statements please if possible ) as for me i don't see why i should change until enough apps support grandcentral and/or opencl.

just got a nice ex58-ud4p and a xeon w3520. all fine except the hyper threading. i used the dsdt auto patcher for hdef gigabyte boards. then after i noticed the HT wasn't working is decompiled the dsdt and noticed: should be 8 shouldn't…

everything i build in the terminal with xcode 3.2 under snow leo does not run under 10.5. i tried gcc 4.2 and 4.0. also different options like -arch i386 etc. -isysroot as a CFLAG doesn't seem to work at all. no matter what i do i always…

every time i boot into SL my color profile is set to the default and i have to set it manually. it's always been that way since i first tried 10a380 until 10.6.1 now. my gfx card is working fine and i had that issue with different enablers…

is anyone aware of a good solution for the jmicron ide issue? installed iatkos v7 and can't use my ide burner at all. also just some of my ide disks are recognized and write support seems gone completely. any hints are welcome

Technical notes, hardware configuration, and community findings for what was your main os before hackint0sh (10.X Core).

i know it's kinda classic but i got the nasty reboot thing when using the vanilla kernel. chameleon comes up, kernel loads and right after the kexts are loaded and the resolution change should happen i get a happy reboot/reset tried 10.5.6…

just tried to use the controller mentioned in the title but there were some issues. i'm running 10.5.7. system booted fine and i can see the controller and the disk: BUT i can't use it. it's not showing up anywhere. there's not even an…

“tried iatkos s3 on a Asus P5N32-E SLI but got the good old 'waiting for ...' came again. the thing is that that board doesn't have ahci as it seems”

“as root: open finder or any filemanager of your choice and leave it open! copy the resp. kexts somewhere. start the update. be sure to leave the finder/filemanager open! after the update do not hit restart and just copy your kexts back. now…”

“went fine here as well. installed, put my custom kexts back in, deleted intelcpupower... done.”

“I love this distribution ! I've been using it for months. And this is the only TRUE 10.5.6 distro (based on 10.5.6 retail disc). Too bad that the project is closed yes, very unfortunate. i've been using their tiger releases as well. were gr…”

“nice tut, just as a little addition: a different is just as fine as a usb device in case you shouldn't have one. using a different disk or partition on a different disk is also much faster than most usb thingies”

“using foreign dsdt files can cause probs as well. always create your own. funny however that my old machine compared to yours is doing just fine ...”

“Are ya sure about that? I got Snow Leo 10A394 booted perfectolicious with this booter. interesting, didn't work for me.”

“Netkas has just released a new version of PC_EFI with full support for Snow Leopard. funny it doesn't boot the current snow leo tho”

“You need 64 bit kexts when you run kernel in 64bit mode at least the aty_init kext worked under 64bit mode”

“yeah you're right. some of the old kexts do work”

“jeezuz, was about time. and i'm glad to see it's from iatkos. still running 10.5.8 based on iatkos v7 and i'm very pleased so far”

“just read your sreenshot. replace appleintelpiixata with another one and check your bios settings like ahci and stuff”

“Oops, forgot to upload the 10A432 revision. Added it here: @ good4man - What exactly are you asking? All I did was add the device IDs from the info.plist in PIIXATA. It's simple enough that anyone can do it. great, thanks!”

“Who succeeded in installing 10a432 without AHCI Mode i did. i don't like ahci so i used the AppleIntelPIIXATA2.kext for all versions of 10.6 i tried. always worked.”

“2 unrelated bugs i can't seem to fix. I understand the cmos reset can be fixed by editing certain values in the dsdt, but how would i go about doing this? the search function does work well here”

“works for me, too. actually that's the first version 2 that works for me. however i see no reason why i should use it instead of 1.0.12.”

“what still leaves out about 40€ - 50€ for RAM. - Any suggestions? doesn't matter at all. just go for at least 1.5gb.”

“my setup works quite well with 10.5 and 10.6: c2d e6320 gigabyte p35-ds4 8800gts cheap, stable and everything is supported.”

“You are most likely not booting 10.6 with Chameleon 1.0.12 but some other thing like netkas pc efi. Just to clarify... yes, modded 'boot' file. actually the very file from the first hackintosh 10.6 thread here”

“1.0.12 is still working great for me. 10.5 and 10.6. why should i upgrade to v2?”

“all fine here. deleted the 2 cpupowerm... kexts and copied back my custom kexts. c2d, 8800gts and gigabyte board.”

“Install Snow Leopard using that method, then install Snow Leopard within Snow leopard using the OSinstall hehe, neat idea”

“I can't even boot to OSX hence I can't edit com.apple.boot.plist. boot using the dvd”

“open /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add a new key named Timeout. type is String and value the timeout you wanna have.”

“add a timeout string to the boot.plist then boot with -v”

“Yepp, it looks like it's the same build. it looks? is it or not?”

“One thing that i could'nt manage to get right was the sound. no luck with voodoohda?”

“please keep in mind that you do not need to run the 64-bit kernel in order to run 64-bit applications or install more than 4GB of RAM in your Mac. Applications run just fine in 64-bit mode on top of the 32-bit kernel, and even in earlier ve…”

“the point is who is in need of more than 4gb for a single app. i would think the vast majority will not even reach 2gb. pro users could benefit of course.”

“I'm interested in upgrading to 10.6. I have a fully functional 10.5.8 running on my hardware. I've seen several guides including some that specifically use my motherboard and similar video card (8000 series). I have a couple of questions re…”

“so is this gonna repair permissions for Snow Leopard too? absolutely not. 10.5 does not have a catalogue for 10.6 so it would rather cripple 10.6 than doing anything good. why do you wanna repair permissions? if you installed kexts from som…”

“no probs here also. however 10.6.1 was a BIG slowdown for me. booting time has roughly doubled and working with 10.6.1 is not nearly as smooth as with my 10.5.8 inst. although 10.6.1 is on a much faster disk.”

“can someone please just tell me PRECISELY every single option to select, or at least tell me where to find out. a bit lazy, huh : don't tell me you can't find one single guide somewhere. then read the guide, compare to your system and situa…”

“take a voodoo kernel and choose natit for gfx. also ichx, dsmos and smbiosresolver. maybe also jmicron. generally take a look at the specs of your board and choose the stuff accordingly. should be quite easy with your system.”

“... But no big deal. of course not. but you know how people are. they read it here and try some 'real' retail guides. then it doesn't work and we have tons of new topics and questions ... i had it many times right here and it tought me one …”

“Sure you can! Voodoo Kernel is able to patch CPUIDs on the fly. He also linked the HowTo... :-* no retail kernel not retail”

“i'm not sure you can have retail running on amd.”

“depending on your sb i'd try sata disks with ahci enabled or disabled. try both. one should work”

“btw what i would really like to see as a new feature is the ability to at least read multisession dvds. i wanted that in 10.5 already but ... nope.”

“you're welcome. btw iirc the mozilla apps offer exchange suppport as well but i'm not sure. better get rid of the M$ crap”
