i installed SL on my PC but i have some errors

 

1) CMOS Checksum error - Defaults loaded :(

2) failed to restart where it hangs and i have to manually , but it shutdown right

 

althought i edited the dsdt.aml

 

from

Device (RTC)

{

Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00"))

Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()

{

IO (Decode16,

0x0070, // Range Minimum

0x0070, // Range Maximum

0x04, // Alignment

0x04, // Length

)

IRQNoFlags ()

{8}

})

}

TO

0x0070, // Range Minimum

0x0070, // Range Maximum

0x00, // Alignment

0x02, // Length

)

IRQNoFlags ()

{8}

})

}

 

so what can i do , appreciate any help :D

I have the same CMOS checksum error when trying to install snow leopard.

Using the SLboot method, installartion of SL restarts unexpectedly and I get the CMOS error (loading defaults).

 

I think it has to do with chameleon RC3

hi, no chameleon is not the reason :)

 

there's much more todo, follow this post

 

after that

 

• name your dsdt.aml always to DSDT.aml

• put it into /Extra

• edit your com.apple.bool.plist

add following:

<key>Wait</key>
  <string>y</string>

boot with "-v" (verbose mode)

you will get some output and a "press any key bla bla bla" message

look above this line, chameleon should tell you if a patched acpi table was found, if not, your dsdt wasn't loaded.

bert, correct. just figured out and wanted to help yehia out.

RTC should be fixed to get rid of the CMOS reset..

 

Chameleon.. you're the best giving the opportunity to load a custom DSDT.

 

yes, but sometimes only changing the rtc in dsdt would not work because of the IRQ entries, that's why i posted the link to the hpet, rtc, pic, tmr, etc. fix

thanks..

had patched dsdt etc, cmos was gone, but still the pc would restart after 15 minutes or so..

so partitioned first, rebooted, then went trough the installation very quick unchecking most options and withing 15 minutes the installation was done and I could restart via the button.

 

everything runs smooth now.
