Hello:

 

I have a Hackintosh system running 10.5.4 vanilla with the following hardware:

 

 

Intel Core 2 E4600 2.4GHz

Gigabyte EP35-DS3L rev 1.x Bios F6

4GB DDR2-800 RAM

500GB SATA HD

Samsung SATA DVD-RW

256MB Sapphire ATI Radeon 2600XT

 

moving up to -> 512MB eVGA nVidia GeForce 9600GT

 

 

I'm looking for someone to help me get this up and running.

I know that the 2600XT doesn't work (properly) in 10.6, so I won't use it in there, and that's why I got the nVidia card.

With [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] supported, Snow Leopard installs properly (10.6.)

After that, it's all Pete Tong to me.

 

I would like to:

 

- have the system updated to 10.6.4

- use as few 3rd party kexts as possible

- get my video card running (preferably via DSDT, EFI string would work ok as well)

- get my audio working in 10.6.4

 

What I have done:

 

- pulled a clean DSDT.aml from my machine from Ubuntu

- successfully installed Snow Leopard via [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] doesn't quite do the trick after

 

Seems like there has been no activity on this board with people with the motherboard that I have. It used to be a lot easier than this before.

 

Please let me know if you are willing to help. I'm willing to pay $40 to get this thing updated to Snow Leopard.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hmmm.... I don't know which is the problem. If you want to upgrade to 10.6.4 from 10.5.4 you have to patch a Snow Leopard DVD or download a pre-patched one

 

Ya. It's not an issue installing 10.6.0 on the machine. I have done that successfully. It's getting 10.6.4 to work on there, properly.
