Tmarkr Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 the version of IORegistryExplorer that I found was V.3, which is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I can't find v.2 anywhere. I tried Chameleon Wizard to extract the DSDT, but it directs me to the Extra folder, but i don't have anything to choose, I will try DSDTEditor to see if I can get something from that. Is there a specific folder or file that DSDT has to be extracted from? Everything I find out there just says the Extra folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 so I'm an idiot, what can I say.... I've got the two files, but I've got no way to attach them. I've got no upload button on my page and I haven't found where in my settings I set this up, I've asked on these forums at least a half dozen times and no one has answered me...

Tmarkr Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I got hung up on the grey Apple screen, spinning wheel spun for a long time. Should I reboot with a different PCIRoot(1-3) and still with -f and -v?? Or will it just take a long time with those boot flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 The 1st time I didn't add spaces in between each item 2nd time, lots of type scrolling and stalled... Also I noticed the boot screen has lion, is there coding for Lion OS? I'm also not able to boot at all, even in safe mode, hanging at grey apple spinning wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 So at this point I need to do a reinstall from disk, just so I can figure out what I'm going to do and get my Internet back. So I should just be able to load OS from my boot loader disk and instead I'd erasing the disk just install so I don't lose everything on my hd. Maybe I will look into ML,either by way of myhack or chris1111's method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well I don't know... All I can suggest is you limit yourself to a myHack vanilla install using the pack I gave you. For the rest, your current setup/install is beyond me. So, if I were to go with the MyHack install and then use the pack you gave me as the extra folder, do you think that my Internet and audio would work right off the bat? Those were the issues I had with the MyHack install. Or better off, go to Mountain Lion and not have any issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmarkr Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 could it be something as goofy as how I am formatting the USB? which I've been formatting GUID, what if I format MBR? It appears that now when I force-64 through Chameleon Wizard it freaks the computer out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmarkr Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I thought I was having success with my OSX 10.8.3 install, using myHack3.1.2, until it crashed and gave me this report... Installer Log 23-Sep-2014.txt I was booting with PciRoot=4 GraphicsEnabler=Yes, because the first attempt I got the white page with grey apple and then my screen went to sleep/black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I know this is probably a silly question, but... should I being doing the Mountain Lion as a fresh install?? I wasn't and I am wondering if that is why I crashed during install or... since my SL is running in 32-bit, when I start my install should I throw in the arch=x86_64 boot flag? thanks again to everyone who has been patient and big help in this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 so... now I think I either have a bad CMOS battery or my BIOS is outdated or both. One minute I can boot from USB, the next minute I can't. now I have to figure out how to load a new BIOS, I think I know how its just a matter of finding away to get the BIOS unpacked and on a USB. The battery I don't think is a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
