Some more updates. I tried removing KEXTs one by one till I have it narrowed down to the KEXTs that actually worked for me. These are fakesmc.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext & Yukon2Injector.kext. I had put a patched IONetworkingFamily.kext and IOAHCIBlockStorageManagement.kext in the /E/E/ on the USB, and it KP'd on me nearly every time. Minor inconvenience.

 

ohhh i should of added that point to the guide, if you have any vanilla leopard extensions loading in extra/extensions/ and you try to install snow leopard it WILL panic

To be sure, when I find a kext that I need all I have to do is add it to the EFI partition right? Just like I did in the initial set up?

 

hmmm alot of drivers have dependencies that make them need to be placed in the system/library/extensions/ folder so to be safe i would drop them in there unless you want to go into every plist to see what dependencies they need.

 

dustintinsley just totally ripped off my guide lol. like copy and paste wise....

Well, when I get my system completed I'll be posting a guide for the sake of those using my same motherboard and I'll be sure to give you full credit and even a link back. :unsure:

 

I just got my ethernet and audio working. Audio is a little funny though, System Profiler doesn't see and audio device but I am certainly hearing sounds.

 

Next up is the sleep thing. I'll try the kext in dustintinsley's thread. I just noticed that you have it in your original post too. :\ kinda funny....sort of. Well, I can assure you that I won't be taking any credit for what I post. I'm not even going to list all the other people in the community because I didn't get their help, only yours! :D

Well if you want to make your life easier, just post the files you need for the drivers and a link to my install guide.

just have your guide cover system specific installation, since mine covers generic.

well my guide covers almost everything needed to install snow leopard the only thing missing at the moment is specifics as what sata drives is covered by which kext. but the links to the kexts are there.

 

as everything else has nothing to do with installing snow leopard, and would make for a massive post. i don't think i'm going to be including non-essential drivers to the guide.

 

well dustintinsley was going to get flamed by someone for doing that. since there is no reason to repost the same guide in the same forum.

Hey folks-

I've restored to an 8GB USB Drive with Chameleon 2 RC1 in EFI. I got all the way to installing snow leopard and it immediately KPs. Has anyone else seen this?

Also panics when I attempt to uncheck printer drivers to install - same KP

I've been trying for a few days now to get SL installed and not having much luck so far.

No luck with boot 132 from CD/DVD as I cannot get Chameleon to rescan optical drives.

Most promising method has been "restore install DVD to a partition".

I created a 10GB partition on a Leo 10.5.8 disk.

I boot into Installer partition with the following args: -arch=i386 -v -x32

 

Everything looks good - boots up in the right resolution from com.apple.Boot.plist.

dsdt.aml is recognized . . . but always end up with a grey screen and spinning rainbow beach ball of death.

 

I have tried swapping out many of the SL kexts from /E/E , tried different combinations - always ending in same result.

In fact, no difference even if I remove all the kexts and mkext.

 

My system is : P5K-E Wifi/AP , Q6600 , 4G DDR2 RAM, GFX NV 9800GT

Here is my lspci dump:

Basic kext collection I used was:

fakesmc

OpenHaltRestart

NullCPUPowerManagement

 

Any ideas on how to better trouble shoot ?

The only thing I can think of is to pull my IDE drives out of the equation - but don't want to if I don't really have to.

(plan to replace with SATA soon anyway)

can you post all the kexts you used,

 

you might need AHCIPortInjector.kext, JMicronATA.kext, and add your device/vendor ID to the AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

Still KPs with the same error. Anything else look dodgy?

 

Thanks for your help,

Brian

 

Post your LSPCI

 

Post your LSPCI

 

Oh you probably touched something you weren't supposed to when creating the flash drive and its creating a permissions panic. or a non-retail check kind of thing.

 

when you restore the dvd to the usb, try it with two partitions, one for the bootloader and one for the retail dvd.

Are you using the arch=i386 boot flag?

yeah, I did use those kexts in the beginning and started taking kexts out one by one with no real conclusion reached.

 

AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext . . I was using this too but had no idea I had to edit info.plist

Whoops.

 

How do I go about that?

Also - is it to be added as a standalone kext or a plugin for IOATAFamily kext?

standalone should work.

 

right click kext --> show package contents.
