Installation

• Use nawcom Mod CD 0.3.1 and a 10.6.3 DVD or USB image.
  NOTE: if you use like me a Installation from USB, don't use USB3 port.
  NOTE: deselect custom option in OSX installation from nawcom before install.
  Install on the first partition on an MBR or GPT HD.
  
  
• After the installation Finish, reboot, and start the partition with nawcom.
  
  
• Copy all necessary files on your desktop (USB not work after 10.6.6 installation)
  
  
• Install 10.6.6 Combo Update dowloaded From Apple Website
  
  
• Reboot and restart your partition with Nawcom.
  
  
• Now, install Chameleon, i have used r699 by iReset, Downloaded Here
  Copy Extra Folder from attached file in your root.
  Delete AppleHDA.kext and IOAudioFamily.kext in System/Library/Extensions of your installation partition.
  Copy the files in "System-Lib-Ext" from attached file in System/Library/Extensions
  Run Kext Utility for repair permissions, recreate system cache And Reboot.
  
  
• Boot From Your Installed Partition
  
  
• Now install tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update,  I have used 1.0.1(current).
  
  
• Reboot
  
  
• Now install Lnx2Mac's RTL81xx Driver
  
  
• Reboot

NOTE: If you want DeepSleep, open Terminal and type: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5
NOTE: In the attached files is present a .icc for LG LCD panel Profile from ironnerd(notebookreview.com)
NOTE: Probably this guide works also for L401X and L501X with i7-740QM or i7 840QM CPU.

Future improvement:
- DSDT enhancement (nedd help for USB2 sleep problem)

Changes:
v2:
- DSDT from MaLd0n and Nexos™ in the pack default is the MaLd0n one.
- removed Lan from pack and added to the guide
- most recent FakeSMC and intel kext (tnx MaLd0n)
- other little things
v3:
- Removed VoodooHDA
- New patched DSDT (i patched the MaLd0n) for support ALC665 natively. (TNX vladlenas)
- New AppleHDA.kext and IOAudioFamily.kext. (TNX vladlenas)
- Reverted to 64bit.

 DSDT.zip   16.42K   105 downloads

Added:
DTGP,
SBUS

add this to com.apple.Boot.plist:

<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Now Sleep should work.

@MaLd0n
you can explain the effect of your fixes?
i not have noticed any changes in boot, usability, etc.etc. tnx




WIP:
1 - moved PXHCD.kext from S/L/E to E/E
2 - removed ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext from E/E
3 - tryed to remove vanilla IONetworkingFamily.kext from S/L/E for incompatibility with RealtekRTL81xx.kext, and try to boot in native x64.



point 3 create some problem, KP (RTL81) related with new kextcache, and normal boot without lan with -f -v.

geekgench 32bit +5/600 point on x64.


EDIT:
readed "EULA" on http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com
removed RealtekRTL81xx.kext in upcoming pack
tryng to install with official pkg.
if work, correct the guide.
NOT WORK! KP


EDIT2:
always got KP on i386 or x64 with or without RTL81X installed.
now i try a fresh install with the new pack.


EDIT3:
FRESH install make good result, now update the first post. the system now run nativly at 64bit.

send me a kextstat
run on terminal

kextstat

[theSlug]

in E/E is present:
- ACPIMonitor.kext (necessary?)
- FakeSMC.kext
- IntelThermal.kext (necessary?)
- PXHCD.kext
- VoodooBattery.kext
- VoodooPS2Controller.kext (from AnV)


anyway, IMHO lnx2mac is a pita, specially with 10.6.6+x86_64, or l701x have unsolved problem... reboot is a random kp roulette in 64bit.


tnx for your help.

i removed voodoohda, rebuilt cache, normal boot work.

now i tried an ald revision of voodoohda for m11x, testing.

not found very good documentation of alc665... is not possible make a perl script for this?

another major issue:
- usb2 port not work after hibernatemode 1 . usb3 works.CORRECTION... only.. usb3!

in hibernatemode 25 all usb works


new voodoohda create problem lite the old one..

i not find the clue...

As i can see from the post N#1, everything works so far exept the Wifi Card, am I right or not?
I wanna by this laptop, pls post back, whats not working at the moment
tnks

[theSlug]

the major problem IMHO is the ALC665 driver, the intel wifi obviously not work. i have ordered a replacement card on ebay. the usb 2.0 aftersleep problem is probably solvable with dsdt trick.
