I am having problems with sleep. After modifying my dsdt my computer still would not sleep correctly. Even worse after hard restarting from a hung sleep state , it would hang on startup. I could use the -f flag to get it to boot but then I lose my onboard lan. Putting in a fake plist for the yukon2 in the extra folder will allow me to boot without the -f flag but still no network. The only thing that worked for me was to start up my older leopard install then restart into my snow leopard disk. Somehow this flips the lan on and I am back up and running. The only thing I can think is happening is somehow my network interface is going to sleep and not waking up until I boot into the older os. Any other ideas, fixes?

Hey macmaniac, thanks for your guide, very easy to follow but I am having problems with the DSDT patch for audio.

 

I have a P5K-E WiFi/AP so still have the same chip but when I tried to boot with yours, the system halts on boot.

 

I have booted into verbose mode to confirm it doesn't panic, it just stops loading.

 

I tried several times, made sure permissions were correct but no dice.

 

I've got SL installed just with the basic DSDT (so good to see Intel 64 for all running processes :D) but would like to get audio working.

 

On another note, my D-Link DWA-566 (Atheros) isn't coming up. It's working fine in 10.5.8 as AirPort but not coming up in SL. Got LAN up though by the usual .plist edit.

 

Plus, I am using a 8800GT and don't have any issues with lag, I am using graphics injector in Chameleon though.

 

EDIT: OK, got it sorted! DSDT caught me out, not dealt with it till now, recompiled mine and I've got full audio working including S/PDIF.

 

I ended up transferring all my documents from my old Leopard install and it's all running sweet! Runs sooo much quicker, lovin' it!

 

Just need to sort out my wireless card and I'm also getting a UUID error in terminal.

OK, just to confirm... are you guys using FakeSMC or PlatformUUID?

 

Are you putting it in your /Extra folder?

 

P.S. I also had KP's with the 1st guide, 2nd guide works fine.

 

I am really happy with the audio too, I am using Taruga's patch in Leopard and every odd boot I would get an annoying buzz through Optical, not had it with the DSDT patch, loving it!

Glad that this guide is working good for you.

 

I put Fakesmc in /Extra/Extensions

I haven't had to bother with UUID stuff.

 

Yeah, Snow Leopard works incredibly well on this mobo. BTW, the 3rd party wifi card I use is a broadcom 43xx. Always works.

Just upgraded to 10.6.2, needed to delete Sleepenabler but EFI partition is hidden, lucky the new one takes priority from the /Root/Extra/Extensions folder.

 

How can I safely access the EFI partition again to delete unused/outdated kexts?

Success with this guide to install x64 snow on a MBR partition from a previous xp/leo install, basically ignoring all efi/extra steps and used custom osinstall.mpkg to avoid mbr check's during install. Kexts on s/l/e, chameleon rc3 as boot, dsdt patched

 

10.6.2 upgrade also ok (just the new sleepenabler)

Noob here trying this guide.

 

macmaniac, I'm confused, in your guide you sometimes switch from talking about RC2 to RC3. It says updated for RC3 but the pack only includes RC2. I got RC3 elsewhere but it doesn't give me the customize options that RC2 has (EFI etc).

 

Anyway if I use RC3 then it won't allow me to mount the hfs drive, while if I follow your guide with RC2, it will work but at the moment it is failing the install and spinning wheels at boot but I might have to play with the plist file? which as you say is out of scope :rolleyes:

 

Anyway just wanted to clarify about the RC2/3 issue? Thanks for your guide!

 

UPDATE: got SL to install by using the "remove printer drivers trick". And now it boots! I had to go through the guide (the terminal part) again, and also I had to disable the JMicron controller in the bios. I'm not actually using it anyway but Leopard seemed OK with it switched on so I never bothered to turn it off. DL 10.6.2 now...

Hi there!

 

Ok, first: A BIG THANK YOU for this wonderfull guide! With your help I was finally able to get myself a fully working and really fast vanilla-Hackintosh!!

 

So, everything´s working fine - just one little problem: I have to boot in 32bit mode pretty often because I have got some USB-hardware that doesn´t have any 64bit drivers. When I do so the JMicronATA.kext seems to stop working as I don´t see my IDE harddrives anymore (which is some kind of logical as the kext is 64bit, isn´t it?).

 

Do you have any suggestions how I might get things working again with 32bit? If there is a 32bit JMicronATA.kext: how can I use along with the 64bit version to be still able to boot in 64bit mode?

 

 

Thank You!!!

I used this guide, and the dsdt from infinitemac thread and everything is working!! Can we update to 10.6.1 or 10.6.2? if so is there a guide? I have everything working so I don't wanna screw anything up.

I had the same problem, connect your hard drive to a different sata port

 

I tried a different red colored SATA port, and even one of the black ones but still Panic on boot. I am able to boot into 10.5.8 without any problems.

 

I've tried the guide in this thread, as well as the one over here: http://osx86sv.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/ma...-usb-pen-drive/

 

same error message though. any thoughts?

 

I have P5k-e wifi, with SATA hard drive and 2x 2GB DDR-800 memory.

Wow, I just discovered this thread. I'm happily running 10.6.2 retail on my P5K-E WiFi AP. Have a read starting here. In my sig are my specs. The only issue I have is that GarageBand doesn't work. I have not tried optical audio, but I get analog audio just fine.

here are my settings:

set drive to AHCI mode

all onboard devices disabled, except gigabit lan, and audio

vanderpool and maxcpuid disabled under CPU settings, everything else enabled

plug and play OS:YES

memory remap=enabled

asus CGI=disabled

 

those are my settings, also once you get this kernal panic, did u update to 10.6.2? when i updated I got the kernal panic, after using a new sleepenabled.kext problem went away.

try booting into safe mode

does time machine work using this method

I need to re-install using this guide because I have a new hard drive, I would like to backup everything using time machine, then do a fresh install on my new drive and reload everything back up.

My tutorial:

there is also a alternative using DSDT:

One thing you must be carefull. You must remove sleepkextenabler.kext before update. otherwise kernel panic
