Dsdt.aml file is very important table of information about your hardware considered by OS (SL) when installing for the first time and rechecked on every single booting, I think. So, you have more chance to boot without dsdt, if any, than with wrong dsdt.aml file. Patching process is not complicated. At least you can ask blackch to explain you the whole issue. Check his thread.

all features are working for me in 10.6.2, except waking up (display), brightness adjusting and incorrect percents/time in voodoo battery.

any suggestions?

I don't know what method of installation you are using and what kexts you've installed. Sleep and brightness should work. About the percentage of voodoobatery ... you can use other solutions (commercial one) but this is not a place to talk about it.

sorry but i cant complete your Manual to get snow installed, maybe its because i have only leopard 10.5.4 on my desktop computer

 

step 1 is going without problems,

step 2 doesnt go like this because i habe an external hdd with the sl image on it , but with my sl boot disc i can install on the laptop hdd via boot.

step3 i think im to silly to get chameleon 2 rc 3 installed without a pkg but with the pkg from here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=184766 it goes.

which things in the downloadable folder come o where?

where did i take the extra folder to?

the mkext tool says only„Packing new "Extensions.mkext" ...

Sorry, could not create "Extensions.mkext"

step 4 when i put the hdd back to the laptop theres the picture like its waiting for an cd but it dont go farther.

when i took my snow leo boot cd in to start the system there comes :

you had to restart your computer

 

 

maybe you culd help me mfg

ill hope it XD

 

 

I should update the guide but I have no time and my daughter is using my HP, but I will soon as possible.

So, you can download newer version of Chameleon RC4 instaler here

Then dwonload all my files from extra folder from here.

And follow the procedure for the rest.

Report any further problems.

There is one italian thread on HP 6720s, I think that they have some solution about brightness buttons, but, I don't understand Italian language. If you understand, please tell us what is going on.

idlehalt=0 eliminates stuttering or idle time in cpus, and make to work the cpu at full load (100% all the time), that eliminates any possibility of speedstep in laptops, which does not have sense.

It shouldon't be cooler with idlehalt=0. Quite opposite.
