Hello, I got a request by email to show those people with MSI x58 motherboards. I have the Core i7 920, but the whole i7 range should work. First off, I would recommend an install of Leopard 10.5.7 or 10.5.8 (iPC works best) Once you have…

Are there any drivers for GTX 260 in snow leopard? The drivers I'm using are the Enabler from Netkas and the EVGA 285 driver. Any ones that might work in 64 bit? And maybe if it support OpenCL?

Does anyone have a fix for snow leopard that could fix the silverlight DRM issue experienced while streaming from Netflix instant view?

I removed the RealTekR1000.kext, needed for my ethernet, and my Snow Leopard boots a bit faster now, and ethernet still works! Snow has support for my ethernet ports without that kext!? (I needed it for Leopard.)

Why am I getting this KP? Specs in Signature. DSDT.aml is PATCHED. Chameleon rc1 with EFI10 I have the following in extra/extensions/ ACHIPortInjector.kext Geforce.kext Jmicron.kext RealTekr1000.kext DSMOS.kext ATAPortInjector.kext…

I tested it on my system, vanilla kernel, Jmicron.kext Working OpenHaltRestart.kext Working IOAHCIBlockInjector.kext Working PlatformUUID.kext Working FakeSMC.kexT working so far tested and safe!

My boot time is pretty slow in my opinion, 20-30 seconds. I have only the required kexts in the extras folder, and no custom in the /S/L/E/ Could Time Machine be slowing it anyway, or is it because this 1TB HDD has 2 partitions? (Time…

(Snow Leopard) My mouse jumps around once in a while, just skipping around while i drag or move things. Is there a fix for this? I heard its appleupstreramuserclient.kext but I am not sure.

I know on a Real mac, you processor is scaled down in performance when not in use, how do you fin out if it works on a hackintosh? I want my i7 to scale down when not in use to save energy.

Well I just want to test my motherboard's build in Audio in snow, and I am wondering, what kext should work (64 bit)?

New release 10.3 is now based on Chameleon2 RC3 it includes all features of 10/10.1 (like 64-bit efi pages and etc), also introduces new features, like support for injecting ati radeon 48×0 cards in bootloader, like chameleon2 rc3 does for…

Yes the speed is correct, but how do I fix the unknown part? I have SMBios.plist, but I dont see how to fix it there. I read the other "wrong cpu info" thread but I did not see a fix there.

Ok so, I was going into Windows 7 after using Snow leopard, and installed a theme, but modded explorer.exe. Little did I know it was a 32 bit mod and I had a 64 bit Win 7. I reboot only to find it wont boot. I put in the DVD, do a repair,…

I have just discovered for myself, that when using nullcpupowermanagment.kext, It causes a slower boot time! With: 26.4 Seconds Without: 16.2 Seconds WOW! About a 10 second Difference! I also noticed my shutdown with OpenHaltRestart.kext…

I cannot find the OSinstall.mpkg when I mount the DMG! I am getting pissed off, I waited long to download this DMG, and has nothing I need?

I created this Unused Kext Remove Thread to help others and myself remove unneeded kexts that might help your system run faster! Add comments to include some kexts! Kext-list: AppleUpStreamUserClient.kext - Tested, No changes Add more!

I have Snow installed with Chameleon RC3, and I was wondering, If i install windows 7 on a different HDD, will it screw up the Chameleon RC3 bootloader and use it's own?

I have the x58 motherboard, with ICH10 chipset. When I tried doing a RAID 0 using the hardware, my old 10.5.6 install DVD could not detect the array and showed up as 2 separate disks. Snow, on the other hand, has integrated support for my…

Anyone have any idea if there is one? Preferably for Snow Leopard.

When I hit shutdown, it restarts. When I hit Sleep, it shuts down. What wrong? I am using OpenHaltRestart.kext.

I read somehwere my shutdown is longer because in RAID on osx86, during shutdown i get the small black spinning wheel, and it means it is forcing new extensions.mkext. Is there a fix everytime? Before, i had 1-3 sec shutdown, but i have…

So I want to install Snow or Leopard on my AMD Laptop (HP DV6000) But there is one issue currently in my way. I set the USB stick or HDD (with snow) to first in the bios, but after it gets past BIOS, it powers off, and reboots. I tried…

Ok, so I'm installing iATKOS v7 and everything boots up fine with the old acpi fix, but I have to boot with CPUs=1 and busratio=20 to get past the kernel panic that says my i7 is 2 threads but fails and says should be one. If I do the…

How do you change the standard font size in OSX. My friends got the 27" iMac and they think the font is too small. They don't want any applications installed (tinkertool does this.) Any terminal commands?

So I've read other peoples issues with it, and I have no idea why, but mine is EXTREME skipping. I've deleted that one kext, appleuserupstream.kext, but I still get this. What else could be causing that, and what can be done to fix it?…

Ok, so I'm installing iATKOS v7 and everything boots up fine with the old acpi fix, but I have to boot with CPUs=1 and busratio=20 to get past the kernel panic that says my i7 is 2 threads but fails and says should be one. If I do the…

Ok, so I am hammered with the permission problems when installing from within leopard. I want to install it from a USB drive, and I got everything but one thing set. I get a black screen after booting, which I know means missing GFX…

I have a perfect install, everything works, but once in a while Disk Utility freezes with beachball of death and crashs the whole system, or I do a repair permissions and it freezes half way, with yet again, another beachball of death.…

Ok, I installed Chameleon rc1 + Netkas PCEFI 10.3, and whenever I boot, it powers off without even loading chameleon. The only way for me to boot my RAID 0 array is to make my older 320gb with snow on it and use it's chameleon (means I…

Chameleon reboots the PC right after it shows the boot:0, Boot:1 text. If I install Chameleon on a USB, it boots perfectly, but I followed every raid guide, and chameleon wont even show up. Turns out i had to format the 200mb EFI…

“I'm not sure, but in terminal you type "Sudo passwd" I think thats it, then type old password, and new one twice. I have no idea whats happening to yours to be honest.”

“I don't know, it should work. You need a password to install or edit things in terminal, so i suggest you get one, a really short one, if it is easier to memorize. Is the keyboard working? Is caps lock on?”

“Theres is a fix for MBR OSInstall.mpkg, search it on google, it exists.”

“Maybe Chameleon/PC_EFI have some kind of fixes for this? I dunno, you might want to try if your up to it. Thing is, I had to set "About this mac" CPU to Intel Core i7 manually, but with that, I had to enter speed manually. But It used to ch…”

“Yea, I can push it there, but then CPU doesn't go to 3.6ghz... I just put that their because they are rated at 1600mhz, but right now their at 1333mhz, there is like no performance change though, I tested. No, system profiler found it auto.”

“Thanks InteliMacPro! It does run very nice. The cooler I use is the V8. It runs great in my HAF932 (very vented case) But after a while of use, the temp stays at 43 degrees. I under-clocked (still overclocked) to 3.3ghz for now because I do…”

“Install Snow... I think you messed up somewhere... Just redo it, and use all the kexts listed on the first page and repair permissions with kext utility.”

“the error i think it is, is this! pd. the disk im installing its ide I don't know, try a SATA drive then. I never got this error, are you using the kext's I listed?”

“The Apic/ACPI fix is in the "Fixes" or something part of the install DVD of iPC. It is located next to the Seatbelt.kext fix needed for the VooDoo kernel.”

“Exactly thats what I was thinking to have as a fail-safe. Once I had my running install I would "dd" it to another partition. I was also wondering -since I just got this mobo recently- How does it run at 3.6 Ghz? Is it stable? Any suggestio…”

“Actually I do have another mac, I use it incase this install fails and I need to fix or backup files. Also, I make a second small (20gb) partition and have snow there, incase I need to fix something. Have fun with your Hackintosh! Glad my g…”

“I'll be working on it on my end and see where I go. The list also helps a lot and I will give it a go again. Thanx a bunch! =^) No problem! If you need more help, I'd be glad to do so.”

“Just try Cpus=1 Busratio=20 -v That should work. Also if you missed these during install, reinstall: ICH10 Chipset Jmicron Chipset APIC Fix Seatbelt 10.5.5 Voodoo kernel RealtekR1000 That should cover most”

“Heya x986123. I sold my old rig and now i'm in the process of building one similar to what you've got going on here. I'm a little curious on your GPU in your sig where it says SLI dual GTX 260. Do you actually have two of them? If so just c…”

“I went to the Apple Store to buy 10.6 (not bad at $29!) and followed your tutorial. It's been about a week and a half since I got the same mobo and i7 but can't get Snow10.6 to boot up after the install. I've followed your instructions and …”

“No, no! this test is emulated apparently since you received the file ending with .exe. don't worry!”

“I don't know, i don't get that, sorry! Plus this is a windows test... since it has the .exe error. So it isn't your PC.”

“I dont think 10.5.5 is supported. Atleast 10.5.6 or .7”

“For sleep, change the mode to S3 and change the controller for sleep to OS not bios. Btw, did you copy my sig!? =P”

“Search for them on google, theres an app called EFI Strings too.”

“hey what kernels and drivers did u select when u used ipc. how did you get your graphics card to work because i have the same one msi nvidia gts 250 i have the same motherboard n everything. i just need sound and the graphics card to work i…”

“what is your score in benchmark @ 3.6 ghz? In geekbench it is 10,343”

“I don't know, you can try. Should work though. I am using *Generic* drivers. They are not made for the MSI x58 Platinum specificly, so they should work on yours too.”

“I found it, In the BIOS, set the sleep to S3 instead of S1. Wake from sleep by pressing the POWER button.”

“It is recognizing your CPU, you just need to mod one file... Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.strings "ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "2.67 GHz Intel Core i7";”

“Sleep shuts down my computer, do you have shutdown working though? Mine just reboots. Can you please send me your VoodooHDA and whatever you used to get integrated sound working?”

“I have bit execute enabled, try that? BTW, do you have the Platinum Pro, Platinumx58 or Platinum SLI?”

“Hmm. What are the BIOS settings? DO you have the latest BIOS? Did you recieve that last panic in snow leopard or during boot? In snow, you do not need Busratio=20 or CPUS=1 with a DSDT Patch”

“Use Kext Utility to repair your permissions quickly.”

“Mine started crashing after a while to. I reinstalled and everything fine =D”

“It wont work, You dont have an EFI chip. Even if you do it, it wont install, since it has no instructions where it is on your *Hacbook pro*”

“I can't do a video anymore, I finished everything. Sorry. But please show me your GFX EFI Strings, and we might tell you what you are missing. Here is my guide: Retail MSI X58 Platinum SLI + Pictures 64 BIT It should be easier for you.”

“sHaRjI here iam new in Mac … Can any one help me how can i install Snow leopard on my system iam very crazy about that now iam using windows 7…send me information if you have any please>>>>>>> My System Information · System Manufacturer: IN…”

“Nope, everything should be working. Have you checked your System Preferences --> Display to ensure its at your resolution?”

“Use the EVGA driver only, remove the injector, (ATY_init.kext) (Repair permissions) Then get the EFI strings for it. (real3x.perso.ne uf.fr/GFXstrings.zip) Follow the tutorial on: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=ht…”

“Just a question... Will 64 bit kernel be any faster then the 32 bit one? If so, by how much?”

“I was actually looking for 64bit capable drivers... Those seem not to work, I am using them right now.”

“Do you have the strings for dual GTX 260? Please send me them. Also, I would have to remove the EVGA driver and Enabler if I use GFX strings?”

“That name might be hard to remember. Try Sn0w10. lol”

“There is one DISTRO making the rounds called SnowOSX3.6 that was made by my INSTAHAckintosh. NOT what INSTAHAckintosh was designed it for! I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISTANCE MYSELF FROM IT. To make matters worse, they didn't even take my "…”
