milmacman Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 dsdtproblem.zipdsdtproblem.zip[Not 100% sure where to put this--mods, if there's a better place, please move. Thanks!] OK, so I've been able to install Snow off of Prasys' guide, and I can get it to boot--that is up to the point that it hangs on detecting the LAN hardware (27dc8086). I suspect the problem is in a DSDT.aml, but so far, I can neither seem to re-compile a clean DSDT nor fix the current problems. Further, I'm thinking the DSDT is somehow corrupt and unable to recognise the LAN (thus causing the boot problem). This morning, I did manage to pull a new DSDT.aml under Ubuntu (this is attached here). I do know that the Local0 can be fixed (that much I've figured out with DSDTSE), but I still have problems around line 579, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Have tried everything--still no joy. It's in a ZIP file--if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction to successfully compile it, I'd be ever grateful...

milmacman Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Update: the startup in verbose mode appears to time out when it goes to detect the LAN, and does not continue. Like I said in my previous post, suspect a bad DSDT...

milmacman Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I haven't had much of an opportunity to look at Snow Leopard, but I have tried yet another DSDT made via Ubuntu, and still no luck. Nor has SnowOSX helped--I have the same issue. So, at least right now it doesn't matter if I try installing with that distro or by using a retail method. Perhaps my machine might be a little too old to run Snow, though if SSE2 kernels are still being created, that wouldn't make a lot of sense. Though, does anyone know if a Leopard kext would work? More importantly, could I simply transplant my ethernet/audio kexts from Leo and run the appropriate Installer packages (as I had to install them after iDeneb was installed) into Snow?
