bongmasterdarky Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 dsdt.aml.ziptry this: you use any kext for nvidia chipsets? thank you for that dsdt but when i try to compile it in dsdt editor it says there is a error {"_HID suffix must be all hex digits (ID20)"} at the moment i have a snow leopard installed with mod cd and i have been using clover to boot it as far as i know there is no kext being used for the nvidia chipset and i am unable to boot the installer as it either kernel panics on the boot or just hangs when saying about bluetooth controller Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongmasterdarky Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 no need to compile I already did that. but I thought the DSDT had to be a dsl file for clover to work with it at the moment its only a aml file i am very confused now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RehabMan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 but I thought the DSDT had to be a dsl file for clover to work with it at the moment its only a aml file i am very confused now No... Bootloaders need binary AML format. They can't do anything (but cause OS X to crash) with text files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongmasterdarky Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 okies i have manged to install 10.9 and able to use but now i have more issues, first one is the lan card its a Nvidia one it is recognised by the nvenet.kext and is shown in the preferences panel but there is no internet access to safari or even in terminal when trying to ping google. I tired removing the kext from the Ionetworking family kext but it is still being loaded, When i use the nforce lan.kext from verdants post the system loads then KP. the next issue is the shut down and restart is not working the computer just stays on and needs to be powered down by the power button. I havent tried getting sound to work just yet but thats the next item i will be looking at Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
