Hello all first off i will start on how i got my hackintosh working. First i used a retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 installed through USB Flash using ModUSB. Only using the bootflag -v to boot in to the installer (system specs are in my Sig). the rest of the install/updating i used step 3 and on ward from this guide http://www.insanelym...howtopic=253767. Well I got OSX updated to 10.6.8 and now i have it all up and running.

Well Kinda up and running anyways. I seem to be having a problem with a lot of programs not running/closing. With an error saying "something quit unexpectedly" with options to click on saying Ignore, Report, and Reopen. I have tried clicking on reopen but keeps popping up with the same error. And i'm also getting a few errors during boot but it still boots up in to a working OSX. I will post my pics of the boot errors and the quitting errors and see if anybody can help with my situation.



The Boot errors start at the very bottom of the 3rd pic. Also different boot errors in the 4th pic and the quit error info in the last pic

Please do the following:

1. Do a clean install of 10.6.3 and reformat the drive before you reinstall.
2. List what kexts you are installing.
3. We will get a perfect running system of 10.6.3 then we can move to 10.6.8

Actually I didn't install any kexts. Everything pretty much worked out of the box except for the video card. And that started working after I installed 10.6.8 combo update. The MSR errors only started happening after 10.6.7 combo update. I diden't test to see if I was having the quitting errors before I installed any updates tho.

during the first install i left the custom options default i just removed the languages, printers and extra fonts. I also disabled the graphicsenabler and enabled the sleepenabler i also turned on rosetta

I'm also wondering if i should try the Chameleon Bootloader or should i stick with the Chimera bootloader if i should switch to the Chameleon which version is best for me to use?

[Rampage Dev]

You obviously installed kexts or you would never be able to boot. I can not trouble shoot without knowing what kexts you installed. You need to back trace your steps post install and find what kexts were installed. Post your entire extra folder so that I can also look at that.

Stick to Chimera for now.

Well other then the stock default kexts that where automatically chosen when i clicked on customization i choose sleepenabler, auto wired, voodoo HDA,

Elliot RTC that was it during the initial install. During the 10.6.7 update i ran ###### and choose these options all system utilities,

Bootloader:Chimera, DriversandBootloaders>Miscellaneous:ElliottforcelegacyRTC,EvOreboot,FakeSMC,NullCPUPowerManagement, SystemDefinitions>MacPro:MacPro5,1, Themes: tonymacx86 classic, OSx86Software:All of them checked and that was all i used

[Gringo Vermelho]

TonyMac products are unsupported here, please go to their forum for support, they'll be happy to help you.

[Cpt Klink]

Well I have reinstalled OSX from fresh not using anything from Tonymac(and Tonymac won't help me because i'm useing AMD and not Intel they don't support AMD) right now i'm back to 10.6.3.

Installed using a retail copy of OSX 10.6.3 with a flash drive using ModUSB with only using -v to boot in to the installer.
I reformatted the drive and choose these options in the customization menu.

Removed/disabled items- Printer Support, Additional Fonts, Language Translations, Graphicsenabler

Added/installed items- X11, Rosetta, Legacy Kernel, ElliotLegacyRTC Fix, ApplePS2, AppleATIATA/AppleATIPATA, VoodooHDA, Autodetected Wired LAN Support, Sleepenabler

That is all i have done and then clicked on ok and then installed on to the formatted drive then rebooted using ModUSB to boot in to the new OSX install again just using -v and now i'm here typing this. I have tested apps that weren't working before they are working now. From what I can tell everything is working normally right now.

This is where i would need help if possible to get my Hackintosh updated to 10.6.8 or even 10.6.7 with everything working. Anybody have any ideas?

[Rampage Dev]

OK, now I know were you stand. Lets extract your DSDT. Go to this link:

http://rampagedev.wo...r-own-dsdt-3-2/

Then e-mail me that file.

Next remove Voodoo HDA and I will patch it in the DSDT so that you can use AppleHDA. Stop worrying about updating until we know for sure the system is 100% stable at 10.6.3 which it is not at this time.

[Cpt Klink]

OK i will do that first i need to know you email is it the email that is in the DSDT blog link in your sig?

Also i'm not running my CPU overclocked in OSX its running at stock speed and settings

[Rampage Dev]

Yep, same email.

[Cpt Klink]

When removing voodooHDA should i only need to remove the voodooHDA.kext or should i remove anything to do with audio like appleHDA and the prefpanes

[Rampage Dev]

I am working on it now.

[fantomas1]

guys, don't give your email address in public, it's dangerous !

use PM for that !

[Cpt Klink]

I'm not to worried that's not a e-mail i really use but thxs for the heads up anyways well i have the DSDT installed (to be honest i can't tell if it actually loaded unless it automatically loads it when put in to the extra folder) and from what i can tell it booted fine i seen only a few things popping up saying something like failed to load a certain kext but everything is still working like it was before except for the audio but that's cuz i removed everything to do with voodooHDA


Since i don't want to screw up my current install what step should i take now i'm not really sure oh and BTW thxs for all your help i really appreciate it

[Rampage Dev]

You will have to use ALC8xxHDA.kext for ALC892 and a patched AppleHDA.kext for ALC892 from 10.7.3 or 10.7.4
This will enable your audio since I was not sure where the edit for HDEF was meant to go on a AMD motherboard.

What kext was not loading?

[Cpt Klink]

Now just to find the proper kexts out of the quite a few i found.

I'm pretty sure the kext that diden't load was something to do with netkas.fakesmc. And i just can't get the audio to work i have installed the kexts like you said but so far nothing
