First mistake You uSED "hAZZARD" Use retail. There is guide is this tread to show you how to do it. If you must use a scene release then use iatkos v7 its works fine.

Nice Machine, tell me this when you put the machine to sleep........................... then wake it up!!!! Does your sound card function properly? I get a lot of static after waking up!

I never quite got sleep to work properly, but i never had any problems with me onboard sound.

[_Dudu_]

No, the sound card didn't work after a sleep (and the system crash when i try to play something).
I have a Terratec EWX 24/96 and i use the Envy24 driver.

After months and months of coming back to this guide I finally have SL installed on my XPS410 with everything working. Thanks to the people who have helped me and put this thread together!

[shaftspaz]

Okay...

I can get everything running on my XPS410, except that Snow Leopard will not see ANY of my SATA drives...HD or DVD.  I have tried every kext I can find, and tried editing the AppleAHCIPort.kext until I'm blue like a Smurf...no love.

The stupid thing is...when I run the install either from vanilla or Rob G's DVD, the installer sees ALL of my drives, but then something changes and I get no love.

Any suggestions before I dump this system and get a Gigabyte mobo and start all over?  I have seen some error messages when I boot up with -v, but it goes by too quickly.  Need the pause like we used to have in the old DOS days...

[shaftspaz]

Tried the SATA kexts from post #1204...sort of helped.  Now Snow Leopard gets stuck with "SerialATAPI device reconfiguration did not complete successfully", and I get the "Still waiting for root device" joy as well.

This really sucks out loud...

10.6.5 (Beta) is good if you use EFI partition.

I usually use Mac Journaled.  Tried it with "MultiBeast" here lately.  Frustrated because the installer and Chameleon can see my SATA drives.  My Leopard drive is SATA0.  Lately I can get the Leopard and the Snow Leopard drives to see each other, but it still doesn't see my NTFS drives or my DVD drives.

Dig the fancy signature. haha.


You put the 10.6.5 release on yet?  I got a MacBook now but still gonna keep the mighty XPS410 up-to-date, just saw the update came out.  Figured I'd take a gander and see if the XPS likes it.

Let me know what you've stumbled across if anything.

Later dude.

I haven't installed it yet but not expecting any issues.  We shall see.  Sometimes it takes all the fun away if everything goes smooth. ha.

[browndogfred]

Update to 10.6.5 without any issues.

All I did before the update was add the new SleepEnabler.kext and repair permissions.  It uses a pmVersion of 21, or you can just set it to 0 to bypass it.  [32bit mode only]

No issues.

[shaftspaz]

Gentlemen (and ladies, if there are any on here...)  CELEBRATE WITH ME!!!

I now have a fully functioning MAC running 10.6.5 on my XPS410!!!  I had to reload the kexts from an earlier post, and use the DSDT.aml file from RobG's XPS410...but it works!!!  I'm watching a DVD as I type this.

THANK YOU ALL for all of your help and guidance during this long process.  I nearly gave up several times, but now I get to taste the sweet fruits of success!!!

Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!

[shaftspaz]

Where did you find the new sleepenabler.kext?  I currently have all of the power saving stuff turned off, otherwise mine locks up tight...
