Can you verify that u get QE/CI to work with your graphics card? if yes can u tell me how you did it thanks?
Yes. It works. I modified the EFI string using the "Modify plists" option in the script.

Hello... This is my first osx86 build. I finally managed to (mostly) figure out what I was doing and install everything. I have gotten almost everything to work except for two annoying things.
1. Ethernet issues - Probably the same as everyone else... It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, shutting down the machine, unplugging for 10 seconds and rebooting seems to work sometimes. But other times, my network settings (Using DHCP) don't correctly find the router, and my internet doesn't work. Last time I lost ethernet, I had to reboot about 3 times before it worked correctly - so very annoying.
Question: Has anyone else found a fix for this besides buying the macbook air adapter or what I am already doing?
2. Shutdown - This doesn't work. When I choose shutdown, my computer logs out, and but doesn't turn off -- it reboots. Shutdown works perfectly in Windows.
Question: Am I missing a kext for to enable shutdown?

Hey, I have almost the same configuration as you, look at my postHERE and the list of kexts, everything except the sleep works for me without any problem. Netkas CLICK writes that "p.s. uninstall dsmos.kext before using it".
Remove dsmos.kext, rebuild the boot cache and see if it is ok...?
I hope I'll help a little...

Hi All
@ Edvardlee
To have my Saphhire HD4870 1G (Dual DVID working), I used :
ATY_Init.kext
Natit.kext
In /System
As they are i386 kexts, they don't work in /Extra.
The tricky thing is explained by Digital Dreamer in his tuto :
You have to build the cache for snow in -s mode before attempting to boot with that kind of card, or you'll get a corrupted video (or a black screen). only if you installed from leo.
Actually, i confirm DD's suspicion on HD4870 regarding Dith problem a few posts earlier.
In -v, just after showing a lot of REALTEK lines, the screen can go black suddenly, and nothing seems to happen, but the system is loading, only without the video card... I had the same thing until I build caches with both kexts in /System
I'm now gonna give EFI strings a try, as I'd rather use thatt method.
Regarding the random CPU panic some people report about, I had the same as I was trying to run SL from the bootloader of another physical drive.
As DD said, just use F12 at boot, and select the drive where SL is installed, even you have the same bootloader somewhere else.
At least, it worked for me.
Hope it helps a bit.

Okay, Now I'm using PCEFI V10-2 and the boot freeze on :
AppleTyMCEDriver::start coreVIDPID = 0xfffffff Number of packages = 1 Number of cpus = 8 memory monitor trough MCA
Someone Can Help Me Please ????

I have the Sapphire 4870 512MB
I'm using the EVOENABLER advised earlier by Alex and it's working great now. I guess the lack of the natit.kext caused my issue while using ATY_init.kext.
Trying to get sound working using the DSDT patching method now. Hopefully I'm almost there but DSDT patching is all quite new to me.

This is what was happening to me too, except there was some random realtek messages showing up around it. It seems to be related to the videocard. What videocard do you have?

I Have a Gainward HD4870 1Go.
What I can do ?
I tried the boot with an other graphic card and the boot freeze at the same line :
AppleTyMCEDriver::start coreVIDPID = 0xfffffff Number of packages = 1 Number of cpus = 8 memory monitor trough MCA
That can be the DSDT file ???
Because I used PCEFI V10-2 without any DSDT.aml file.

Remove ATY_init.kext and replace it with evoenabler.kext, rebuild caches and reboot. Should be working fine after that.

hey all
first of all MAJOR THANKS to DD for all his work and also to all who helps make this thread a great ressource for all "mHackintoshers"
i managed to instal and boot in 10.6 all seems ok
except all the normally invisible content of the system drive is showing ( bines -cores -mach_kernel -sbin and others ) and there no way i can repair permission via disk util ( saying error message about no packages to repair )
is this normal behavior ?? ( i doubt cause previous DD 10.5 install did not have that problem )
im using all the default kext from sricpt on a EX58 Extreme board
any clues ?
thank you

The solution to this problem is to reinstall BSD.pkg from Snow installation CD.
At my back the possibility of repairing permissions on DU.

@ Dith
Yes, i guess you'right about natit.kext
By the way, it works with natit.kext alone, i'm gonna try with the EVOenabler stuff, just for fun.
Thing is I don't manage to get it work with EFI String.
I'm able to create what seems to be a valid HD4870 string (regular, with 2 DVID, no HDMI or other exotic connection)
Thing is even with the right EFI String in the right place in com.apple.boot.plist, it doesn't seem to work if i get rid of all injectors. Video corruption, balck and whites strokes, but system working good.
Does anyone knows if the included SL drivers regarding HD48x0 are ok with those cards without any other manipulation ?
And, if it helps, I had an exotic HD4870 card before (DVI+HDMI+VGA) and it was painful t make it work... Had to use an exotic injector from netkas blog (don't remember which one)
Thanks for EVO, Dith !

Thing is even with the right EFI String in the right place in com.apple.boot.plist, it doesn't seem to work if i get rid of all injectors. Video corruption, balck and whites strokes, but system working good.
Does anyone knows if the included SL drivers regarding HD48x0 are ok with those cards without any other manipulation ?
And, if it helps, I had an exotic HD4870 card before (DVI+HDMI+VGA) and it was painful t make it work... Had to use an exotic injector from netkas blog (don't remember which one)
Thanks for EVO, Dith !

Yes, i guess you'right about natit.kext
By the way, it works with natit.kext alone, i'm gonna try with the EVOenabler stuff, just for fun.

Thank Alex for pointing it
I recall netkas writing something about EFI not being usable. Even though our device-id is hardcoded into the right SL kexts there is still a need for an injector. I think it's in one of his posts on netkas.org
I came across an issue that is a rather known issue but thought I should post it here regardless. The com.apple.boot.plist does not include the busratio=20 parameter. So if you're experiencing too fast music and video playback add busratio=20 and reboot and all should be fine
I think this is standard practice on EX58 with Core i7?I wish I could get this ALC888 going using DSDT patching
voodoohda only gives me SPDIF, digital and headphone.

use customization and do not select the printers drivers.
DD,
My system is so stable now and I like it much more than 10.5.7.
Yes the script v4.02 now can handle instlattion from snow without version error, thanks to you.
I used DiskUtility program to fix the disk permission and it is fixed. (please if the script has any effect on this issue),
by the way on the graphics strings selection menu (nViedia 143 selection) there is no exit option without selecting card.
thanks again.

SUCCESS ALMOST...
Using Majors script I installed SL and followed directions to the letter. I was able to boot into SL once. I removed the SATA cable from my original LEOPARD boot drive at the first SATA connection on my PC and connected it to the SL drive I had just installed. I did this because the bootloader for leopard would always kick in ( Chameleon RC- 2 and NOT RC3 from the SL install)
I was able to boot into SL - I had disabled spotlight on the drive earlier. When running the post install instructions I tried to reboot into SL with no success. I reformatted the drive and tried clean retail install again but inevitably get hung up on screen below
http://picasaweb.goo...feat=directlink
which is a flurry of REALTEK text and ends in "DONT STEAL OSX"
I would really like to get the SL working and in 64 bit mode. When I booted in SL in 32 bit there was no sound on the welcome video.
Does anyone know what is happening here and how to fix it? I think it might be the kexts. I tried rebooting with -x -s -f but never got back to SL
This is bumming me out because I had booted into it. Also how do you set the preference to see all HD in SL? When I booted i could not find that preference anywhere.
Great job with the script DD!!! I was almost there but not giving up. Can I salvage this SL instal with a fix? or do I need to re-install everything all over again- and if so what am i doing wrong?

Hey, I have almost the same configuration as you, look at my post�HERE and the list of kexts, everything except the sleep works for me without any problem. Netkas CLICK writes that "p.s. uninstall dsmos.kext before using it".
Remove dsmos.kext, rebuild the boot cache and see if it is ok...?
I hope I'll help a little...

Thanks... That fixed by shutdown problem. Two things...
1. Now that I check sleep doesn't work for me at all. The display never wakes up, so I don't even know if I have KPs. I guess I can live without sleep, but it would be nice to have it working.
2. How did you get sound to work on the UD5 without the ALC889a kext?
