Snow Leopard 10.6.7 issues

Dellmantt · May 24, 2011

10.6.7 combo update includes all previous Apple Graphic updates and should be fine for the 8400GS.

The three main ways for video injection are

1 -Injection via Chameleon Boot-loader. This one will work

Chameleon.699.zip

Make sure these lines are in your "com.appleBoot.plist.

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Additionally with some Vendors cards you may need to add the "Vendor & Device ID" to the "info.plist" of the NVDANV50Hal.kext.

for example my vendor id is "0x10de" & the device id is "0x10c3" so "0x10c310de" is added.

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>
[b]0x10c310de&0xfff0ffff	[/b]	
       0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff
       0x019010de&0xfff0ffff

2 - Injection with a kext. This work in 32 or 64 bit

NVEnabler_64.kext.zip

If you use this then GraphicsEnabler key in "com.apple.Boot.plist is set to No.

And add the ID to the NVDANV50Hal.kext

3 - Gfx strings. If you want to try strings I suggest you read this http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?PHPSESSI...msg1929#msg1929

And not use EFI Studio or similar

ONLY ONE injection method is used at a time.

OK thanks for that - I'll try 1 first.

>Make sure these lines are in your "com.appleBoot.plist".

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

This I understand and I've done

What exactly am I doing with that version of the chameleon bootloader?

Dellmantt · May 24, 2011

Was not sure what version of Chameleon you were running, I know that one works for the graphic injection (and for the vanilla boot file, if you are going to try it)

EDIT Forgot

You may need

<key>PciRoot</key>

OR whatever your PCI slot is 0? 1? 2? etc

Which file does this need to be added to?

Currently running chameleon V2.0 RC5. Presumably I replace that with this version(how? - and then what?).

I suspect that part of the problem is that I chose conflicting things when I installed via Iatkos initially and these haven't been corrected.

Dellmantt · May 24, 2011

<key>PciRoot</key>

Are added to "com.apple.Boot. plist.

Chameleon 2RC5 is fine (running the pkg installer installs the new version)

Yes you probably are running conflicting things.

Run "kextstat | grep -v com.apple" in terminal and post output

Post "com.apple.Boot.plist (Both, if you have 2)

Post graphic details from "System Profiler"

And post "info.plist" from "NVDANV50Hal.kext."

I will have a look and see if I (or maybe somebody else) can spot anything.

[b]0x10c310de&0xfff0ffff	[/b]	
       0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff
       0x019010de&0xfff0ffff

This resulted in only one display working at 1024 x 768 resolution only and no CE/QI. No artefacts like I had before though.

.

2 - Injection with a kext. This work in 32 or 64 bit

NVEnabler_64.kext.zip

If you use this then GraphicsEnabler key in "com.apple.Boot.plist is set to No.

And add the ID to the NVDANV50Hal.kext

But this worked!!!! Full displays, no artefacts and CE/QI working.

Thanks very much!!!!

No About this mac etc - so I'll be trying vanilla kernel etc - and no sound from Garageband but I think that may be a deficiency with the soundcard - I'll be trying with an external pro soundcard next. Otherwise pretty much perfect.

Dellmantt · May 25, 2011

Glad it is working. NVEnabler64 kext must be over-riding the other injections. "Natit" & "gfx strings" which you have.

About this mac -see post 10 of this thread.

Depending on install method "com.apple.Boot.plist" will be in

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

And there may be an additional one in /Extra.

clpws00 · May 26, 2011

About this mac -see post 10 of this thread.

1) Do you mean the reference to another post which said:-

"disable any setting called 'quick boot' or 'fast boot' or any of the bios specific options and see" ?

Is that the fix?

If so thanks - I'll try that tonight.

2) Ed24135 - did you ever get sleep to work - or is post 27 the final word on that so far? Sleep would be a nice if - I have an emac 1.42Ghz and I put that to sleep and it wakes up if you touch the mouse - quite useful I guess

3) I have an issue with getting any sound from an external firewire soundcard which I use for recording - this is an alesis multimix 16 firewire. I have it connected via a belkin firewire PCI card. The firewire card is available in system profiler. There are mac drivers on the alesis website which I've installed. The audio inputs and outputs are available in garageband and other apps but I can't get any sound from it. Is this one for the soundcard forum?

Dellmantt · May 26, 2011

and ATM crash its probably a smbios problem http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1579721

and thanks for the link ATM now works

clpws00 · May 26, 2011

Thanks - got that now and ATM now working.

Also multimix was working all the time - I hadn't pressed the 2 Trk mixer button - so I now have sound out of that and also garageband - excellent.

Ed24135 · May 28, 2011

@clpws00

No, I still don't have sleep working. It be a nice feature, but it doesn't seem that it would work without native power management.

Glad you could get sound working! I'll have to look into a new sound card myself.

However, I have a new question.

It's kinda unrelated, but before I installed snow leopard on a separate drive, I had an 80GB internal HDD i stored a lot of data on, but with snow leopard, I had to remove that drive. So on this drive, I only used 80GB of the 160GB for snow leopard, and the other 80 for my data. But I need to format that partition as NTFS to store my large files. However I'm afraid that since it's a GPT disk, that it will format the whole disk instead of just the partition. Would it, or is it safe to go ahead and format it?

An update on sleep on the dell on 10.6.7 - I've actually got this dual booting with windows 7 now - and sleep doesn't work on that either - I think it's just not enabled on this machine no matter what the O/S.

I've now succesfully installed 10.6.7 via the Tonymac [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] plus [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method on my Asus F3JC laptop - sleep works on that.

LatinMcG · June 7, 2011

to sleep work in 7 u must boot from win7 bootloader . it checks UUID for sleepimage.

what i do to boot 7 to linux to osx

easybcd2.0.2 i add linux.. with grub2 .

then in linux in terminal sudo gedit and open /boot/grub/grub.cfg then i add custom for osx

if its on separate hard disk i add setroot hd1 then insmod=hfsplus and chainloader+1

Hi all,

I successfully installed iATKOS s3 v2 10.6.3 on my Dell Dimension 3000, updated to 10.6.7 and fixed audio, usb and airport issues. However some still remain.

About this Mac crashes, system profiler detects my hardware correctly except no built in audio and, while main hardware tab says 2GB Ram 800 MHz the memory tab says 1GB DDR2 unknown speed.

Sleep doesn't work (big surprise) so i need a sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.7 on Darwin 10.3.0 kernel or some other fix.

Audio works (appleac97audio.kext from 10.5.6) but i have no volume control. It changes but the volume remains the same. It's quite annoying when using headphones.

Also, if i boot my Hackintosh without any USB drives inserted, i cant mount any USB drives. However, if there is one inserted, it works just fine.

Also sometimes, when i boot, it'll show the apple logo for about a second then shut off. Is there a fix for that?

Any help would be appreciated.

iATKOS S3 V2 updated to Mac OS X 10.6.7

Dell Dimension 3000

2GB DDR Ram

IDE 160GB HDD

Nvdia GeForce 8400 GS

AC97 audio (appleac97audio.kext)

Linksys wireless pci card (detected as Broadcom)

qoopz legacy 10.3.0 kernel

i know this may have been three months ago, but how did you update to 10.6.7?
