Sorry my question was not so clear....i mean... i follow the guide.....but my problem is at the last point...."upgrading to 10.6.2" The problem is that: when i follow the guide....10.6.2 upgrade from the updater was not available....so i downloaded 10.6.3 (just downloaded) then i copied all the files found in 10.6.2. combo update (from the guide) and then reboot and install......is that correct? I mean: after install 10.6.3. i have to copy again fakesmc and audihda file or not?

LukyMac Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 i' hope this will be the last 2 question.... the file aml from ifabio is in capital letter.....(DSDT.aml) the one i have in my "extra" dir is in small letter....have i to chance capital letter in small letter? second question: why in my extension dir i have some files with tne name of the file on a green background...other in grey background....and other in normal white background?

(hope i've been clear) 1) It doesn't matter. You can use DSDT.aml or dsdt.aml it is the same. 2) The color is just cosmetic. You can right click on every file in OSX and choose the "lebel" option. Then choose a color. Try it your self and you will understand this function.

Last 2 questions.... 1)To make audio work I have to copy from "asus p6t se essentials" only AppleHda.kext or also HdaEnabler.kext 2)please can i make to question on the grafic card with private message?

andrew79 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I really don't have any experience with other graphic cards, other than the Nvidia9800. If you have an Nvidia 9xxx it should work fine with chameleon graphics enabler. If you used the guide's files, graphics enabler string should be there (in extra/com.apple.boot.plist) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189052-asus-p6t-se-retail-snow-leopard-installation-guide-flashdrive-updated-jun-28/page/27/#findComment-1460279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete any other AppleHDA kext or HDEnabler kext you have in extra/extensions (rebuild extensions mkext) Then look in sytem/library/extensions and delete them from there too (if you have any of them). Now download this and install it with kext utility (it will install it in system/library/extensions). About the other question it is written many times in this thread. You should check older posts. Your hackintosh must be recognized as a mac pro. If not speedstep may not work. So you should be happy with this.

You should check older posts. Your hackintosh must be recognized as a mac pro. If not speedstep may not work. So you should be happy with this yes i read it...but mine is macpro4.1....and if i look in the profile of a "real mac" is with i7 is like macpro10,1 is that correct? Updated: maybe i understand what u mean for the first point: after delete files in extra/extension i have to run utily kext to repair is that correct (just run without drag and dropping)?

tweak41 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 ... I am using iFabio 's dsdt in 64bit mode right now. Speedstep works, sleep works... everything seems stable. All of you who had problems with firewire should try this dsdt and post if it is solved. I do not have firewire devices so i can't post if it works... If you had no problems with Bchemist 's last dsdt, you should keep using it. He did a great job removing unnecessary code etc. No go on the firewire. iFabio--do you use firewire? Is it hotswappable on the machine you're using with this DSDT?

ErmaC Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 No go on the firewire. iFabio--do you use firewire? Is it hotswappable on the machine you're using with this DSDT? No Firewire to test... With the previus DSDT your firewire works? Put your machine in sleep swich on your firewire device and wake the system or directly start the system with your device already swiched on.

tweak41 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 My firewire has never worked properly. The only way I can get it to work is if I put the machine to sleep, plug in the hard drive, and then wake it up. If I plug it in before booting, the drive freezes the system and it won't log in to OS X until I unplug the drive. It's rather bizarre.

lfcfanatic Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 To all the wise men on this thread, Sorry if this seems a repeated question to many of you. Does the manufacturer of graphics card matters when building a Hackintosh? i.e. If I buy a Gigabyte HD 4870 1GB instead of a Sapphire HD4870 1GB, will it work with my P6T SE?

(hope i've been clear) Hi LuckyMac, Just wanna check out if HDMI works on you Asus GTS250? Also, which version of Snow Leopard are you currently using? You did a vanilla install with the configuration with no problems? Are you running on 32bit or 64bit? BTW, ram and cpu is never much of a problem when building a Hackintosh is it? Thanks in advance!
