dead_evangel Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Finally, when running the kextcache commands, I got this error:kextcache: ?4\033??\a: couldn't get volume UUID Is this anything to worry about? I think I'm 99% there, in fact I've made a shellscript file to automatically format and install everything on the EFI partition, saves a lot of time when reinstalling snow. Try to reinstall everything that happened to me the second time i tried to install... ( the first SL worked until i updated it to 10.6.1 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Try to reinstall everything that happened to me the second time i tried to install... ( the first SL worked until i updated it to 10.6.1 ) What problems are you getting? Kernel panics? The 10.6.1 seemed to work fine for me.... I'm already on SL, i installed it in my USB HD. I'll try the gma950 fix... About the mic... Did you get it working? I tried this install first in my USB HD because i don't want ro mess with my fully functional Leopard install Edit: Updated my SL install to 10.6.1 it broke my install :/ will try to fix permitions and caches I haven't tried the internal mic, but it didn't work with the normal voodooHDA kext. I think there is an updated version which may work however... Also, the GMA950 fix is pretty easy, I use a modified Boot.plst and I have some shellscript which patches the kext's for me. I'm still getting random Kernel panics, does anyone know how I can find whats causing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think I've finally fixed my Kernel panics! I added cpus=1 to my Boot.plist and this seams to have fixed things... Anyone else running with cpus=1? I guess this maybe because I'm on a different DSDT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHunt79 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I havent used boot flags - any of them...iStat Menus and Activity Monitor show both threads... Try deleting the AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement kext... Thanks, I've deleted AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement.kext from my SL partition, and rebuilt extensions.mkext on both my EFI partition and on my SL partition. It seems if I build the mkext's under single user mode, I do not get the UUID error I reported earlier... I'm not 100% sure if this has worked howver, I have yet to get a kernel panic, but Safari seems to be crashing a lot, especially when playing youtube vids! Could my CPU be overheating maybe? Is it worth getting rid of AppleIntelCpuPowerManagementClient.kext also or will this make no difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, I tried to boot up today it KP's on boot. Something about AppleACPIplatform not working properly, I think deleting AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement may have caused this. I couldn't even boot into single user mode to restore AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement, so I'm starting again from scratch and re-installing SL.

gmx Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 http://aspire1.ru/forum/9-3332-1 original guide here I'm glad my instructions turned out to be useful even though less requested since chameleon rc3 and pc-efi 10.3 has come out. However it's considered a good tone providing the link to the original post. DSDT and SSDT dumps were taken from gentoo linux and RTC HPET GPE VGA PSS PCT CST LIDS, adding DTGP method and the "Creating a named object in a While loop" error were manually patched by me.

I'm running v3114 and I'm getting kernel panics with my own patched DSDT, and this is the first time I've tried it so hame probably done something wrong... The only change I applied was removing 2 lines from the RTC section... Can I ask what the DTGP method does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenlot Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Great guide! Would this also work for an Acer Aspire One 110? Think the only difference is that the 110 has a SSD and not a hard drive? i can confirm that the installation works on the A110. I even use the same DSDT as provided. I have however replaced the original SSD with a Toshiba 60G 1.8" hdd and the original wifi card with a compatible Broadcom card. in my opinion, the original SSD is just too slow to run SL Followed this guide and everything works, well not exactly everything, sleep still a problem but that's minor. I have also upgraded to 10.6.1 without incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Try removing voodooPowerMini.kext and rebuilding the caches and see if that improves the systems stability Thanks, it turned out to be voodoopower that was causing the problems, I'm not using a different version and no more KP's! Now if only sleep would work... Maybe with some hardcore DSDT editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonthelion Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I've been playing with this today on an Aspire One A150, originally running iAtkos 10.5.7 Pretty much everything worked, upgrades to 10.6.1 and net and sound still work as in 10.5.7, but I'm stuck on the GMA950 kexts (no go in 10.6 or 10.6.1 yet). A couple of times I've been stuck and not able to get in even with single user mode as someone mentioned above. At those times, I boot from the iAtkos DVD, mount my HD and clear the kexts and kextcache and I can get back in... Not sure what I'm doing wrong not to be able to get the GMA950 drivers happening, possibly my Chameleon is too old? Anyone have any luck using kexthelper or osx86tools to install the GMA950 kexts on this thread? well, I seem to have killed it for good this time My Chameleon is green and says "v2.0-RC1 r" so I'm guessing it's a bit old... Will do a reinstall of iAtkos i7 10.5.7 and try again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have multiple Acer Aspire One's A110 and A150 running 10.6.1 and one on 10.6.2 with everything working besides (sigh) Sleep. I think that I will never see it go to sleep...

pkmvancouver Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Another question which may have been discussed already. On first boot after install of snow leopard my webcam could be used with photo booth and ichat. Now after a couple of reboots it is not seen by photo booth just a black screen but ichat shows it. I read something about resolution with the generic webcam driver or something. But why did it work the first time and not after the fact? It shows up under usb devices in profiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troglodyte Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 OK, I had the same issue with the resolution only being 800x600. I followed the lead mentioned in this thread, and copied the snowGMA files into /S/L/E folder, then tried to perform the patching steps with the kextcache command. When I did so, it refused to incorporate the two .kext files, failing with the error: AppleIntelGMA950.kext is not authentic; omitting from mkext. And a similar error for the other one. How can I get it to accept them? I tried the -f option, which should force the issue, but it still failed with the same error. Is there something I'm missing, or is there a better way to fix the resolution problem? TIA, Trog Well... I did get it going and found out why I was unable to before... I needed to remote the original kexts out of /S/L/E... I am not sure if this is a "Boot Think" loader issue or this is how it must be done as I am not used to having duplicate kexts in the first place. Oh well... I will dig further, thanks for the files.

sibux Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 is there any updates regarding the Atheros card? I'm begining to consider that DW1390... well, I installed Snow Leopard using mechdrews tutorial about installing retail from another mac , added voodoohda and everything was working! Trackpad working really well, 2 finger click and scroll like a real mac , intel GMA was already installed on the first boot! just missing Mic, Wireless, and the Card Readers... (obviously sleep) Also, I'm triple booting SL, Windows 7 and Jolicloud using Chameleon RC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whorobj Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Now my external monitor doesn't work. it worked fine in 10.5.8. When i plug it in the screen on the laptop and the monitor is garbled to hell. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl1101 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 1) When running on battery the CPU clock goes to half. (Confirmed with XBench...)Seems power-managment thinks this is a good idea.... It goes back to full speed when you plug in the external power supply. any solutions? it's really SLOW when I use it without external power supply can't even watch youtube smoothly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponydefresa Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hello everyone, it might seem a stupid question but I want to know something. As I know, Snow Leopard costs money. How am I supposed to actually update from 10.5.8 to 10.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich568117 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I don't know if it works with Snow but you might check out the drivers for the sound that the voodoo team put out.
