Problems after installing and updating Snow Leopard

[steev182]

OK, so I went out, bought a copy of Snow Leopard, restored it to a DMG, and used myHack to install it onto my pc.

 

It went pretty well, I then updated to 10.6.2, added netkas' fakesmc and I have some pretty abysmal problems now.

 

1) Everything is reeeally slowwww, even though applications load fairly quickly, the animation is very slow. iTunes won't play music properly and sounds in general aren't played right

2) My wireless is temperamental, it stops working even though the airport sign still shows a connection.

3) My processor isn't displayed properly, it's reported as 4.30GHz Intel Core 2 Duo although it does correctly show as 2 cores in Activity monitor

 

My hardware specs are:

 

Processor: Intel Xeon 3050 2.13GHz Dual Core

Memory: 3GB RAM

Storage: 250GB (system), 500GB (Data) and 1000GB (Media) SATA Drives

Graphics: Nvidia 8400GS 256MB PCI-E Graphics (Using NVDarwin)

Network: Linksys WMP300N (Atheros AR5008) Wireless card

Sound: Griffin iMic USB

 

I'm using Chameleon 2.0 RC3 with the following kexts in /Extra/Extensions:

 

AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

fakesmc.kext (latest from netkas' site)

FramebufferDisabler.kext

IOATAFamily.kext

LegacyAppleRTC_32bit_Only.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

PlatformUUID.kext

 

Using a Vanilla kernel

 

If anyone is able to help me with this, I'd be really grateful.

 

Thanks,

So an update...

 

I removed framebufferdisabler.kext... -f booted and this made no difference.

 

However, I went into the BIOS and enabled a CPU limit, it limits *something* to 3, and now it boots and things are a lot faster, however, now the CPU is recognized as an Intel Core 2 Solo, so it seems to only see 1 core.

 

The wireless is still no good, but I may end up getting a wired NIC at some point (or hopefully an update/new kext will fix my wireless card)

 

Still, if anyone knows how I can get it to correctly detect my CPU and make both cores run properly, it'd be awesome!
