When i tried nawcom after i insert the retail dvd and after the initial boot, the system would auto reboot.  AHCI was set to manual in the bios.  Did you use any other settings?  System is r530 core i3

After you switch to the retail CD, hit -x and -v.  (Boot in safe/verbose mode)
That should get you to the install screen.

Also, to get the wirelesss to work, after upgrading to 10.6.5 I followed this advice and it worked:

The super lazy/quick way is to edit the 10.6.5 IO80211Family.kext

IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros21.kext/Contents/Info.plist

and add this string

<string>pci168c,2b</string>

even quicker just download the attachment.

Install to /E/E or /S/L/E rebuild mkext then reboot and enjoy

I used multibeast to rebuild the mkext.

My DSDT-Hacks for Samsungs R730 Marik (Core i5, Geforce 310m):

• working LCD brightness adjustment via FN+F12/FN+Break
  
• working sleep & wakeup without disabling webcam and third USB port
     (need to press the powerbutton 2x for a complete wake up ) -> solved

Thanks @violet7 for the boot-file, @tonymacx86.com for the USB hacks and @nobb1x for the backlight hack!  

Now everything works except ethernet, lid, numpad.

My Kexts:
FakeSMC, VoodooPS2, ACPIPS2Nub, AppleACPIBatteryManager and VoodooHDA.

EDIT: Thanks @valv for his bootloader and @THe KiNG for his atheros trick.

@violet7: can you provide the sources of your boot-file?

Now everything works except ethernet.

My Kexts:
FakeSMC, VoodooPS2, ACPIPS2Nub, AppleACPIBatteryManager, VoodooHDA and a modified ID in AirPortAtheros21.

Can you explain the values you injected for the graphics part in the DSDT, specifically NVMT and pwm-info ?

See thats exactly where I am at. Im willing to bet its BIOS or something else small.

No, I've copied it from here. And I guess nobb1x get it from MacBook6,1 IOreg dump.

The only thing I know is pwm ->pulse width modulation. The driving method for the backlight LEDs.

@Marten.

Wow looks great, BUT sadly I own a R780 Hero and somehow your DSDT does not work out for me.

I have an iBoot+Multibeast Easybeast install and removed the .kexts for a DSDT enabled system. Installed your DSDT via UserDSDT in Multibeast, rebooted and my system went into trash. I cant recover it from the immediate KPs.

Would you mind showing all the patches/injects you did on your DSDT? Better yet would you like to edit my DSDT accordingly if I attach it? That would be great as I am still diving into the DSDT editing with unsuccessfull results. Whats the best way to export the DSDT ? Everest, DSDT editor, or DSDTSE. Should I take care of something for the export?

I am dying to have brightness fixed as in dark surroundings eyes are hurting a lot.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Could you try this http://www.insanelym...p...t&p=1599532
VoodooPS2?

It has samsung brightnss keys mapped.

[Morphium]

@ivik

Thanks for the pointer! I´ll try it out as an alternative first until I get the DSDT sorted out (hopefully Marten can help me out). However it would be much better to get the DSDT running for a vanilla system as sleep is the next big hickup on my system.

BTW: You did great by getting the brightness topic rolling. It helped the community so much. Thanks!

Here is my unmodified DSDT. Use the FileMerge.app or something similar to see what i've done. I guess you need the _DSM method inside the NVID device, the PNLF device after the PWRB device and the DTGP method.

I don't know whats the best way to dump the DSDT. I use DSDTSE. I like their huge fixes and hacks collection. The DSDT-Editor is a nice tool to get an overview of the DSDT structure.

Thanks Marten for your quick response. I´ll have a look and see if I get my DSDT running.

It has samsung brightnss keys mapped.

The mapping seems correct but the first Fn+Up/Down sets the brightness to max/min. After that the two keys were dead till the next reboot.  

[unnnamed]

this also works on models with gt330m?

I forgot: I've copied the _BCL, _BCM and _BQC methods from DD02 device in the R730 DSDT. You should use the methods from your DD02 device.

[Morphium]

You mean the DSDT hacks list you can choose from in DSDTSE?
All this sounds like chinese to me still but Ill have a look and see how I get a long with this information.

My first initial try with the export from DSDT and a compile without any modifications brought a 200 errors compile. This is the first thing i have to sort out

[ivik]

@Marten,
Brightness slider works normaly, or this is issue only with keys?

Your friends are the DSDT fixes from DSDTSE.

Only with the keys.
The "Systems Preferences" -> "Display" -> slider works fine. Also the Fn+F12 and the Fn+Break keys.

Are you using my driver or you have native apple brightness control?

Native!  

Thanks for your PNLF, _BCM, _BCL hints!

[ivik]

Can you change brightness after your native keys are stuck? (with slider or n+F12 and the Fn+Break)
