maartez Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Insanelymac, i am attempting to do a clean install of 10.6.3 on a system with the p5k pro mobo. I got quite far, but now there are strange things happening. After installation i boot from disk via chameleon that came with myhack. Right after the gray loading screen (if boot without flags), the screen becomes black and stays that way. GraphicsEnabler=yes doesnt make a difference. Other flags also do not... i have nVidia GT8600 256mb i made a DSDT.aml file in Windows and copied it to my real mac.. there i placed it on the thumbdrive containing the installer and myhack... Now to get it into the root directory i should copy it there somehow, but i can not do this from the desktop offcourse so i went into Terminal at the install screen and copied it from thumb to hdd, but then i cannot modify permissions and owner because file system is in read-only mode. What can i do to make this work? I want to thank this forum for the information i already got from it. In return i will write about my adventures in getting this to work. Thanks!!

Great! i managed to get into OSX in safe mode.. Now to get de dsdt stuff working... is it true that when you have DSDTSE extract a DSDT file that you get a file specifically for your hardware? or do you have to type your hardware codes in there yourself? Furthermore... my systempreferences freeze the moment i open them. itunes freezes.. everything is highly unstable.. what do? anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
