Thanks Ricola, but I have one more question. Do you have the Restart/Shutdown/Sleep working?

you have to de-compiled the DSDT.aml to DSDT.dsl, after the editing with textedit then compile back to DSDT.aml.
You can use iASLme tools to do this, just drag and drop your file to iASLme icon.

Did you do step no.8 ? because after you re=format/erase a partition the UUID information will change

Yes, I did follow no.8. I can also be sure of it because when it is waiting for correct root device.

Yes, Restart/Shutdown by OpenHaltRestart.kext and Sleep with SleepEnabler.kext, only if computer sleeps by itself not sleep by   menu, just won't wake

And how about 64-bit? Is SL fully working with Abit ip35 Pro in 64-bit mode?

That strange ... now can you keep just 4 kext in Extra/Extensions, which are fakesmc.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, and PlatformUUID.kext .. remove the others then do step no. 11 ?

@waveman777 : yes, it fully working in 64 bit

I think, this question has been answered. Yes, it is fully working.

Hi Boundone,

How's ur IP35-Pro? SL running in it?

[Kevin87]

I tried this on my ip35-e. I did everything the same and modified the DSDT but when I boot I get still waiting for root device. Anyone know how I can fix this. I can run 10.5.8 vanilla unmodified with chameleon so im sure there is a way to get it to work.

check the Hard drive controller mode in bios.

I have followed these instructions yet I am running into the error:

panic cpu 0 caller 0xffffff80002cbf74 kernal trap at 0xffffff80004f65c3

I am running a IP35-Pro with a Quad 6600, and a 9800GTX, 2 banks of ram. No other components other than hard drives.

I've tried compiling my own DSDT (it had errors. I corrected them, but still same error at boot.)

I've tried removing smbios.plist and using the built in default.

I've tried booting without my custom graphics strings.



Note:

When I execute

kextcache -v 1 -t -m /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions

there are a ton of errors. Is this normal?



Any ideas? I've ran out.

[ricola]

Hi Mattswell,

Put your own DSDT.aml in /Volumes/Snow/Extra
and remove /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions/LegacyHDA.kext as it related with my DSDT.aml

then Drag /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions folder and Drop it onto Kext Utility icon see pic below.



it will create new Extensions.mkext for you.

I tried to install it by booting the image because of the error and messed up language if you install it from another OS but I always get kernel panics during the install (even with -x32).
But anyway I had some other issues with the install from the OS... 64-bit is working but I have the feeling it's not completly stable (kernel panic when I checked something with quartz debug), spaces is very laggy compared to leopard and my xbench score is lower (250 in leopard, 210 in snow leopard). Do you have the same issues @ricola? My hardware is mostly the same as yours, I only have a 9600GT instead of a 9400GT.

€: if you want to use the optical out, you have to use a different LegacyHDA.kext, the one ricola included in his package lists 2 line-outs and no digital out. So use the kext in the folder "3outs2ins regular headphone" from this package to have a working digital out.

[waveman777]

Ricola, what is the BIOS version of your IP35 Pro mobo? I've just read that DSDT should come from the same bios version. So, before I use your modified verison of DSDT.aml I have to be sure. Or maybe I'm wrong?

[LonelyTV]

Superb tutorial, Ricola. Everything installed without a hitch. However, I've got two questions for you. First, how stable is this? I've heard that 10.6 is un-stabled when teamed up with Chameleon 2.0 I figure you're running this exclusively so have you ran into any kernel panics? and Second, my hard drives aren't showing up on the desktop. Is this a new "feature" of Snow Leopard or is this something I need to fix. My SATA drives are set as ACHI so they're being detected, they just aren't showing up on the desktop only in finder.

Thanks again for this great tutorial!

I've installed it now with booting the image and got only one kernel panic at the first boot with 64-bit (had to boot with -x32)... now 64-bit seems stable. Only the OpenGL performance is bad with my 9600GT compared to Leopard and spaces is sluggish. To get your harddrive showing up on the desktop you have to enable it in finder -> settings.

I've been running my computer for about a week , and no single KP, quite stable i think.

Thanks for the LegacyHDA link.

I'm not sure about my bios, B12 maybe? it about a year i didn't update 'em lol

Upload your DSDT.aml, i'll patch it for you

Hey LonelyTV, ur welcome , glad to know that it is working for you, and about hard drives not showing up, 'Black already told you how.

Yes its also quite stable here now... only the sluggish spaces is annoying. By the way the AHCIPortInjector.kext is not neccessary, it works without it.

Hi Boundone,

Hi! Unfortunately not!
I tried your guide and get ACPI-related kernel panics. I even installed newer and older
Chameleons with EFI 10.1, but no luck. Does it have something to do with some BIOS
settings which might differ from your installation?

Some pointers would be great!

Nevertheless it is a great guide, Ricola!

@Boundone : I just set SATA to AHCI, the rest is normal. Can you upload your DSDT.aml ?


@'Black : how u get QE/CI for ur graphic card in Leopard?

Hey, I used your DSDT.aml in the guide and do not use my own.  I tried to make my own,
but got errors in the use of "DSDT Patcher":

...
./dsdt_fixed.txt  5819:						 Store (GAHS (0x00), Local6)
Error	4060 -			Called method returns no value ^ 
...

Shall I ignore it and force to compile one?

Thanks for your help!
