tergin Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Finally I installed and have a working version of SL 10.6. But I changed DSDTL.aml file from else where. And all worked fine for me, thank you Ryan, for all your guide and effort. Other DSDT.aml worked for me. CPU : Intel Corei7 950 Asus P6T Standart 80GB SATA Snow Boot Drive 1500GB SATA Second drive Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tergin Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 This Geekbench screen shot from Windows 7 OS, same machine as I posted from Snow Leopard before one post ago. How ironic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tergin Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 OK Everythings works fine. But after my desktop comes screen, I have to many partitions as W7, EFI etc. How can I unmount or disappear after startup of my unwanted partitions ? Any ideas ? PS: I'm using NTFS-3G for my W7 partitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: I'm using NTFS-3G for my W7 partitions. There's no need of using NTFS-3G on osx > 10.6. Google for it "mount write ntfs snow leopard" ...and, the same applies to the "non automount" option, that goes inside the same file regards, brue.

No need to use NTFS-3G ? Is that correct understanding _? If so I can uninstall NTFS-3G and use your option to unmount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target1 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Howdy all, This may be a pretty simple question, but I'm completely stumped. I have an ATI 4830 graphics card. I understand that I need to do something with the kext editor, but I'm just not sure how. I've found what appears to be an efi string for my card in the first post of this thread. Can someone walk me through how to add what is needed to the kext? I'm available to pop onto IRC later today, or just a walkthrough here would be fantastic. Regards, Target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tergin Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Right. Just by editing the fstab file. Can u tell me where is this fstab file. Coz when I write after Teminal cd etc and vi fstab, SL tels me fstab is a new file? Isnt there any default fstab file on SL or may I need to create new one ?

archer75 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 So my parts arrived and I built my new computer. Problem is I didn't make my magicstick before I disassembled the other computer and now my leopard install won't boot and I am unable to even boot my various leopard distro discs to reinstall leopard so that I can make my magic stick. I did however create a USB installer off of my retail snow leopard disc. So what are my options for getting SL installed on this board without a magic stick?

Google for it "mount write ntfs snow leopard" ...and, the same applies to the "non automount" option, that goes inside the same file regards, brue. I finally solved my automount ntfs volumes but I stuck somewhere. fstab inside : LABEL=WINDOWS_7 /private/mnt/WINDOWS_7 ntfs ro,noauto LABEL=EFI /private/mnt/EFI hfs ro,noauto LABEL=System Reserved /private/mnt/System Reserved ntfs ro,noauto I don't know why but I think W7 creates 100 mb System Reserved hidden partition on my W7 boot disk. After startup of SL 10.6.1, fstab removes my to drives but System Reserved leaves. I think problem is here about System Reserved named partition has a blank between "System" and "Reserved" so fstab cannot recognize the name "System Reserved". I cannot change its name from Get Info coz its read-only ntfs. So any ideas how can I ass that partition to fstab and remove from startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tergin Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 After installing SL, how is your DVD Writer cover openning? I have Microsoft Wireless Desktop and when I push "Media" button on keyboard which is for Eject command on SL, My DVD writer cover extremely opens up. It is not openning slow as in W7, normal operation? How is yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target1 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 And you made sure to grab the Magic Stick from the bottom of the first post right? I think that is the most recent until Ryan finishes the updates he's working on. I did. The one that comes in the 10-08-09k folder. I use the efi in there, and for the terminal work I reference the i386 folder. Incidentally, based on the screen shots in the third or forth post for the bios, we are told to set the CPU ratio to 20. I think this ends up overclocking the CPU speed to 4GHz. Is this correct? In my bios startup, as well as in one Ryan's screenshots the CPU seems to be clocked to 4GHz.

He mentions that somewhere in the guide, that screenshot should get updated (and I'm guessing it will). See if dropping the CPU back to stock gets you through the installation.

abqpete Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 After reviewing many other solutions, there always seems to be some gotchas. Can those of you that have successfully followed this process confirm a few things? 1. Sleep works perfectly? 2. Time Machine works? 3. Ethernet does not disappear periodically? 4. Sound does not disappear after sleeping? Are there any issues that have not been resolved? Thanks and regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time machine is working fine for me as well. I'm backing up to a separate physical internal drive on my machine. 3. I chose to grab an additional network card when I first installed b/c I was having bonjour issues (which have now been fixed). You should be fine here though. 4. I can sleep and come back and sound has been fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamf Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 For those that are interested... I got an Apple Magic Mouse on Friday, and have it "working" on the P6T setup. However, in the last few days I have seen a good deal of Kernel Panics. I also updated to VMWare Fusion 3, so that could be the issue, but it does appear to KP when I'm clicking a mouse button most of the time. Just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else is looking to get a Magic Mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
